The UN Trustee Council--The New Global High Priest

During the opening session of the "Regional Hearings for ‘Millennium Assembly’" in Beirut, Lebanon on May 23, 1999, United Nations (UN) Assistant Secretary-General Miles Stoby, proclaimed that the Millennium Summit is, "expected to be the largest gathering of heads of States and governments ever, to be held in New York in the autumn of the year 2000." Stoby is coordinator of preparations for the UN Millennium Assembly and Summit.

The UN Trusteeship Council, historically involved in decolonizing the world, will require a radical change to the UN Charter if it is to police the global commons.

Stolby is holding a series of Regional Hearings this summer to seek input in defining how the UN and its Charter should be changed to forge a more effective United Nations in the 21st Century. Those modifications will be incorporated into a new UN Charter to be signed by the heads of State during the Millennium Summit, creating the legal framework to implement what is called multilateralism and global governance by the UN. Others call it world government.

The concept of multilateralism and global governance is spelled out in the UN Commission on Global Governance’s (CGG) report, Our Global Neighborhood. The Commission’s report focuses on the "multilateral treaty-making process," to codify sweeping international law that will control all human activity and behavior in an attempt to attain peace and security for every person as well as the earth.

Just as Mein Kampf warned the world of exactly what Adolph Hitler intended to do, Our Global Neighborhood provides a model of what the global elite are planning for the world. The NATO action in Kosovo and the UN’s subsequent peacekeeping activities is but one example of the sweeping powers being assumed by the international community (see May, 1999, Discerning the Times).

The CGG justifies the need for multilateral international law by contending, "In an increasingly interdependent world...the notions of territoriality, independence, and non-intervention have lost some of their meaning. In certain areas, sovereignty must be exercised collectively, particularly in relations to the global commons." Not surprisingly, the global commons is all inclusive and includes the "environment and life-support systems that contribute to the support of human life" including all terristrial and aquatic ecosystems. Since any human activity supposedly affects the "environment and life-support systems" of earth, the UN should regulate all human activity "collectively".

To undertake such a gargantuan task would require a mammoth bureaucracy. The CGG recommends that this responsibility be undertaken by the Trusteeship Council, which historically has been responsible for overseeing the decolonization of the world. The Council suspended its formal activities in 1994 when the last colony, Palau, was given its independence. "The Trusteeship Council," recommends the CGG, "now free of its original responsibilities, [should] be given the mandate of exercising trusteeship over the global commons...[and] the administration of environmental treaties...." To do this, however, would require radical changes to the UN Charter.

Secretary General Kofi Annan did exactly what the CGG recommended in his July 18, 1997 UN Reform plans, "[the Trusteeship Council will] be reconstituted as the forum through which Member states exercise their collective trusteeship for the integrity of the global environment and common areas.... At the same time, it should serve to link the United Nations and civil society in addressing these areas of global concern."

Under the recommendations of the CGG, representatives in the Trusteeship Council would be drawn from a pool of "civil society" Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) having full consultative status in the UN. Currently this is almost exclusively limited to environmental, socialist, new age or other special interest organizations supporting the globalist goals of the UN.

The role the Trusteeship Council appears to be taking is that of the shaman in the old pantheistically based cultures. Although its new powers have yet to be defined in the revised UN Charter, they must be far-reaching if the Council is to "protect" the global commons. As high priest of the earth, it will be the Council who decides what human activities are to be permitted and who gets to do what, when and where.

As evidenced by the proposed International Criminal Court and Trusteeship Council, as well as Kosovo, the emerging world government is assuming awesome, unaccountable powers to control everything on earth. A growing number of Bible scholars are concerned that we are witnessing the birth of the fourth beast described in Daniel 7:23, "The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces." (KJV) Even if we are not in the end days, troubled times are ahead unless God intervenes. Pray, then act to expose this incredible agenda and stop the new UN Charter from being ratified. V mc
