Via http://www.enterstageright.com/0800milsummit.htm The greatest threat to our freedom By Alan Caruba web posted July 31, 2000 On June 21, 1788, the United States Constitution became effective after New Hampshire became the ninth State to ratify it. It is the oldest functioning constitution in existence and it has afforded every citizen guarantees of freedom virtually unknown in most of the world today. On September 6th through the 8th of this year, the heads of state of many nations from around the world will gather at the "Millennium Summit" to be held in New York to "sign, ratify or accede" to the multilateral conventions deposited with the Secretary General of the United Nations. There are 514 multilateral treaties involved, the majority of which have been adopted by the UN General Assembly. A "core group" of these consists of twenty-five treaties and their purpose is nothing less than to change the existing UN Charter for the purpose of creating a global government to end the rights of sovereignty and self-government of all nations. The rationale and rhetoric supporting this are the lies of communism. Were the United States to agree to the aims of the "Millennium Summit", your rights as a U.S. citizen would cease to exist. What most Americans do not know is that all but one of the seventeen U.S. Department of State diplomats who helped shaped the original UN were later identified as secret members of the Communist Party, USA. The UN's first Secretary General, Alger Hiss, was a Soviet agent. In its 54-year history, all seven Secretary Generals of the UN have been either dedicated socialists or communists. All l5 of the UN Under-Secretary-Generals for Political and Security Council Affairs, in charge of UN military affairs, have been communists and all but one has come from either the former Soviet Union or the current Russian Federation. Fully two-thirds of the membership of the General Assembly, the Security Council, and the World Court have always been representatives of socialist and communist nations. What chance do democracy and capitalism have under such circumstances? None! By 1999, not one single American held a top decision-making post at the United Nations over peacekeeping, economic or social programs. The U.S. pays an estimated one quarter to one third of all UN costs. Just in terms of peacekeeping activities, the UN owes American taxpayers almost $15 billion. This amount is equal to the UN pension fund for its employees, among whom is the former Nazi and Secretary General, Kurt Waldheim, who continues to draw a $102,000 UN pension. The 'Millennium Summit' is the culmination of years of effort to install a global government upon the world that would fulfill the objectives of communism; a failed economic system and one kept in place by authoritarianism. The world would be ruled by a UN with all power ceded to a "People's Assembly" composed of representatives of non-governmental-organizations (NGOs). In April of this year, The Earth Times, subsidized by The New York Times, carried a front page article titled "Outsiders on the Inside", identifying the organizations that determine UN policy and programs. They represent some of the biggest foundations in the United States including those such as the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, the William H. Gates Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Howard Heinz Endowments, the Pew Charitable Trusts, and the Rockefeller Foundation. These and other foundations, all based on the enormous economic engine of capitalism are funding a socialist and communist organ bent on global government. The list of NGOs who would ultimately rule is so vast you need to visit the web site of Sovereignty International to examine it. It includes radical environmental organizations, groups devoted to controlling the world's population, and countless others who pursue agendas so foreign to American values they would destroy everything for which Americans have fought and died to preserve and protect. At its core, the UN is anti-American. Its main body, the Security Council, is manipulated by Russia and China who use their veto power to the detriment of American interests. The other main body, the General Assembly, is comprised of 188 nations, some of whom have populations less than the States of New Jersey or Rhode Island. The third element of power at the UN is the Secretary- General. Kofi Annan has functioned as a foreign agent for Iraq, permitting it to remain a member in good standing despite its flaunting of UN restrictions on its efforts to produce weapons of mass destruction, and turning a blind eye to the primary sponsor of terrorism, Iran. The 'Millennium Summit' would drastically alter even this sinister power structure. It would strip the Security Council of its veto power and, in doing so, remove the last instrument of control the U.S. would have, along with its status as a permanent member. The 'Millennium Summit' would grant the UN oversight, i.e. control, of all of the earth's land, air and seas. They will vote to give the UN oversight of international conflicts despite its long record of dismal failures. The Summit will grant the UN power over all financial institutions, commerce, trade relations, labor relations, education and private property. The U.S. Congress, the States, and all communities throughout America would exist solely to carry out the mandates of the UN. There are two excellent analyses of what fate awaits us that are easily available to you. One can be found on this web site. It is Henry Lamb's article about the UN Charter for Global Democracy and the other can be found on the web site of the American Policy Center in an article by Tom DeWeese entitled "The 'Final Solution' for American Independence." For more information, you should visit the web site of Sovereignty International and Eco-Logic, both of whom can be accessed from the home page of The National Anxiety Center. By now, you may be asking yourself why you have read practically nothing in the mainstream press of this nation? Why, with the future of national and worldwide sovereignty at stake, has the "Millennium Summit" been ignored? Why have we heard nothing from the White House or the members of Congress who should be speaking out against this attack on the U.S. Constitution? One reason might be because 56 members of Congress are dedicated socialists, members of the Democratic Socialists of America! It is the largest socialist organization in the nation and the principle U.S. affiliate of the Socialist International. As for the President and Vice President, their actions have demonstrated their leftist commitment to the goals of a New World Order. What Lenin and Stalin could not impose on the world, what Hitler could not impose on the world, will be enacted at the United Nations "Millennium Summit" on September 6 through the 8th. The only way to avoid this is for the United States Congress to vote to withdraw from the United Nations. When that occurs, the entire house of cards will fall. The UN cannot exist financially without the support it receives from U.S. taxpayers. The UN is the enemy of the United States and freedom-living people everywhere in the world. This sham, perpetrated on the world by communists and their sympathizers must end. The new millennium that has dawned must be dedicated to freedom. But first we must free ourselves from the threat of global government by un-elected individuals and groups who would enslave us all.
