Don’t believe that your world will noticeably change on September 10th,
the day after the UN’s Millennium Assembly. The UN will not take a vote
and suddenly spring a global government on the world. That’s because the
UN doesn’t work that way. Overt action displeases the high-order
thinking skills of UN diplomats. Hiding in endless meetings, under mounds
of paperwork, organizing yet another commission for debate is much more
pleasing to their fragile sensitivities.
Trying to get a handle on real action by the UN is like trying to hold
mercury in your hand. UN leaders are masters of double-speak, able to bury
the good stuff beneath an avalanche of meaningless, feel-good assemblies
of words like "Freedom from Fear" and "Sustaining our
Future". These are actual titles of sections of UN Secretary General
Kofi Annan’s official report to the UN Millennium Summit. Would you
immediately translate "Freedom from Fear" to mean global gun
control? Would you understand that "Sustaining our Future" is a
blueprint for complete UN control of all of the earth’s resources and
property, including your back yard? UN advocates would consider me crude
for putting such a harsh spin on these ideas, but I challenge them to come
to a different conclusion in a debate where straight English could be
spoken.
So, no, there will not be an outright vote on the Charter for Global
Democracy. That way there can be no news release, no headlines, nothing to
jar unaware Americans to action. But something very significant will come
out of the Millennium Summit that will change your life as well as pose a
threat to the sovereignty and independence of our nation.
Ideas expressed in the Charter, including an international criminal
court, UN standing army, UN taxes and a drastic change in the structure of
the UN Security Council will all be incorporated into the official report
of the NGO Forum for presentation to the Millennium Assembly and Summit.
Secretary-General Kofi Annan will present them in his report to the
Assembly. Individual plans for the separate items, like the criminal court
and global taxes, will be presented in specific reports focusing on just
that one issue. All will be presented as suggestions or ideas to be
considered. Each "suggestion" will be accompanied with speeches
and impassioned pleas for the need and merits of the ideas.
Finally, all of the "suggestions" will be put in a final
resolution or "Declaration" to be signed by the heads of state.
The Declaration will be short on details but will represent a statement of
general objectives. The signatures by the heads of state will give the
appearance of consensus by the world leaders. That consensus will then be
interpreted by the UN as authorization from member UN nations to move
forward.
The next step will be to create a new series of commissions for the
purpose of implementing the "ideas of the Declaration." Changes
will not be immediate. The commissions and reports may take years to
complete.
Opponents to UN global governance should not take this lack of public
activity as a sign that nothing is happening, or that the Millennium
Assembly was much ado about nothing. That would be a mistake the UN is
hoping opponents will make.
The real impact of the UN’s Millennium Summit is that for the first
time the radical ideas that have been channeled through the NGO’s and
endless commissions, have now been officially transformed into policy that
the UN takes as authorization to pursue. Now, after a few more commissions
and a gaggle of meetings and reports the UN will slowly emerge as the
dominant force of global governance.
Now, for UN opponents – the real battle begins.
