    The Millennium Summit

    The focus of the Millennium Summit, where about 160 world leaders and heads of state will meet in September 6-8, is defined in a May 10, 2000 Addendum, A/53/948/Add.1:

    "The Secretary-General wishes to propose the following as the overall theme and the sub-topics of the Millennium Summit:

    "Overall theme: "The United Nations in the twenty-first century"

    "Sub-topics:

    "(a) Peace and security, including disarmament;

    (b) Development, including poverty eradication;

    (c) Human rights;

    (d) Strengthening the United Nations."

    UN document #SG/2063 L/T/4345 dated May 17, 2000 states: "In his letter sent today to all heads of State or government, the Secretary- General has identified 25 core treaties, which reflect the key policy goals of the United Nations, to be the focus of a sustained effort to encourage signature and ratification during the Millennium Summit. Included among them are a range of human rights conventions, as well as treaties on refugees and stateless persons, international criminal matters, disarmament and the environment."

    While the focus of the Millennium Summit seems to be benign, ask yourself: Would the UN gather all the heads of state together just so they could have a group picture? First, the 25 treaties (out of a total of 514) are written in a way that provides an interlocking set of international treaties that will, as was done to Gulliver by the hundreds of strings by the Lilliputians in Gulliver's Travels, allow the UN to control every aspect of every person's life in the world. 

    Second, the series of roundtables during the three day event will focus on the inability of the UN to meet the needs of the world and by default the need to change the UN Charter. This need has been amplified by the contrived and controlled protests and riots by Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) all around the world this past year, like those in Seattle and Washington, DC. The protests will be played as demands by the "peoples of the world" to create global governance by changing the UN Charter.

    Third the UN and international meetings to be held just prior to the Summit will be designed to put enormous pressure on world leaders at the Summit of the need for radical changes to the UN Charter to permit global governance. Exactly how the Charter will be changed will be given to a Special UN Commission to work out. Hang on to your seat. Although you probably won't hear much about it in the popular press, we are most likely about to witness the greatest delusion in the history of mankind.

    Other events around the Millennium Summit

    August 28-31---The Millennium World Peace Summit of Religious and Spiritual Leaders

    "For the first time in history, approximately one thousand of the world's preeminent religious and spiritual leaders will gather for the World Peace Summit opening at the United Nations on August 28. This landmark event will seek to coordinate religious leadership as a driving force for building tolerance, fostering peace and encouraging inter-religious dialogue among all regions of the world. In addition to inviting religious leaders to sign a Declaration for World Peace, the Summit will create the International Advisory Council of Religious and Spiritual Leaders that is designed to serve as an ongoing interfaith ally to the United Nations in its quest for peace, global understanding and international cooperation." Chairman Maurice Strong

    "Religious leaders gathering at the United Nations from August 28 will discuss a number of concrete steps to declare their commitment to work more closely as a community of spiritual leaders and with the diplomatic community of the United Nations to prevent the outbreak of war. They will work together to discern shared commitments to peace expressed in a Declaration for World Peace. The assembled religious and spiritual leaders will explore how to establish an International Advisory Council of Religious and Spiritual Leaders to offer support to the United Nations and the United Nations Secretary-General in peacemaking and peacekeeping efforts. This Council will add a unique spiritual dimension to the United Nations' difficult task of mediating conflicts between nations and among peoples from different religious and ethnic groups. 

    August 28-30--53rd Annual DPI/NGO Conference--Global Solidarity: The Way to Peace and International Cooperation

    "It will also look at the many ways in which civil society can participate in the decision-making processes - nationally and internationally - that affect the well being of people everywhere. The conference will also explore the role of civil society in policy formulation and implementation in relation to the increased demands for humanitarian intervention in conflict areas."

    September 2-10--State of the World Forum--Mikhail Gorbachev

    Following the events in Seattle and Washington, Forum 2000 marks the next major opportunity for civil society and the private sector to take leadership in the dynamic process of the global debate on globalization. The singular challenge is to move beyond exclusion and protest to convene the multi-stakeholder dialogues the current situation demands.

    It is more than just a coincidence that the UN Millennium World Peace Summit, DPI/NGO and the State of the World Forum meetings are all occurring at the same time. The Millennium Peace Summit will focus on the need for uniting religion and the UN in attaining global peace. The Declaration for World Peace will call for disarmament and civilian gun control, just as defined by numerous UN documents published over the past several years. The DPI/NGO meeting will not only call for the implementation of Charter99-A Charter for Global Democracy, it will also likely call for a special parliamentary body called the "People's Assembly" to be established that will represent the UN accredited far left, socialist-environmental-new age NGOs. If so, the UN will present this to the world as the means to represent the peoples of the world. (See the April, 2000, June, 2000 and July, 2000 issues of DTT Digest for more information.) Finally, The State of the World Forum will likely host most of the heads of state attending the UN Millennium Summit and will put tremendous pressure on the world leaders to create world government by changing the UN Charter and signing the UN treaties.
