This treaty (Law of the Sea Treaty) was supposed to be dead 20 years Ago. Most people are concerned about Gay rights or the Passion movie. Passage by the SENATE of this Treaty is about to make those concerns seem extremely small...while we are being distracted by some issues, other issues are of much greater consequence...to our personal lives...
Implications of this Treaty – for the USA:
1. It will create the Largest United Nations Government
2. It will have jurisdiction over all of the Waters of the Earth, and anything moving across them
3. It will have its own Police Force
4. The Vessels of Signatory nations can be taken and used by the U.N., for the activities of the United Nations. Basically, the treaty allows the U.N. to use American Military Fleet ships, and re-staff them with U.N. Personnel, and then allows That new U.N. Force to go and interdict Cargo and Goods destined from other nations to the U.S. (and Vice Versa)
5. It also sets up an International Tax base and allows the U.N. to receive more funds from U.S. Taxpayers
6. It allows the U.N. to stop Vessels and Countries to Ship from One nation to Another. So in other words, it gives the U.N. the authority to interfere with the Commercial use of
Vessels that the U.S. uses for Imports & Exports – which is literally, in the BILLIONS of Dollars every Day.
7. And there are more provisions that have been changed to a Greater U.S. Disadvantage. IF you think that Kofi Annan is controversial now, you wait until he has a Fleet of Ships that your Tax Dollars Paid for, and is stopping Cargo operations To and From the U.S. – because he disagrees with our policies.
8. Treaty Law – legally – Does supercede the Constitution or it is currently recognized as such.
Did I mention that this treaty will allow the U.N. to Restrict U.S. SUBMARINES from entering certain areas and certain oceans at their discretion ? That would be interesting if the U.N. decided that U.S. Ships could NOT be sent to the Persian Gulf or to help Taiwan or other nations.
9. It is very late in the Game to do something, but this is the Fault of Senator Lugar and it is his Pet project.
10. Contact your Senators who are on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Contact a Political organization with some of the info from Lamb’s articles.
11. Oh it also forces the U.S. to share the results of Intelligence Collections Activities with the United Nations, thereby turning the U.S. Intelligence community into an Arm of the United Nations.
12. It further mandates Forced Technology Transfer, so that we give our latest & best technologies to other nations
13. Of Course, Senator Kerry is supporting this Treaty. But that is NOT the point. The Point is that Most of the other Senators are Also supporting this treaty. This is another Attempt to Carve up this country, by giving away its jurisdiction and sovereignty and turn us into a Third World nation. Help make sure that they will not succeed.
The Time to Act on this is Very very Short.

P.S: I am hoping that this thread will Not be merged with others (otherwise in Breaking news, it would move to the back pages too fast), though it might be moved if needed.
