    US scorned for thwarting global agenda
    © 2001 Discerning the Times Digest and NewsBytes
    The United States is under a well planned, withering barrage of attacks for its position on gun control, germ warfare ban and the Kyoto Protocol. The week of July 15 saw key decisions on three major UN agreements and treaties, the ban on small arms, the ban on germ warfare, and the acceptance of the global warming Kyoto Protocol all thwarted in some way by the US. 

    The US forced the language of the UN agreement to control small arms to exclude a provision that would ban citizens from owning guns and made the agreement non-binding. This infuriated the international attendees who wanted the agreement to be binding and to prohibit ordinary citizens from owning guns. It is, after all, much harder to control mistreated citizens when they can shoot back at government tyrants. You can thank President Bush for his efforts to keep the Constitutional right to bear arms that helps Americans thwart tyranny.

    The US also rejected the treaty to ban germ warfare weapons (biological weapons) during an ad-hoc negotiating session in Geneva of the 1972 biological weapons convention. The 1972 treaty is toothless in that it has no legal provisions for enforcement. The treaty's ad-hoc committee has been working since 1994 when the UN inspection teams uncovered Saddam Hussein's vast efforts to create biological weapons. The ad-hoc committee's goal was to revise the treaty with some real teeth in it. 

    However, chief U.S. negotiator in Geneva, Donald Mahley, said the treaty could not be accepted because the confidentiality (company product secrets) of US companies would be compromised. Mahley said the U.S. was "unable to support the current text, even with changes." "This is the threat of the 21st century," said a senior administration official reaffirming the US' position that a revision in the treaty is needed. "But we believe that an ineffective protocol is worse than no protocol at all. An ineffective protocol would give a veneer of legitimacy and respectability to states that we know are pursuing very aggressively offensive biological capabilities."

    Finally, much to everyone's surprise, the on again-off again position of Japan on the Kyoto Protocol to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, turned on again just when the reworded Kyoto Protocol was being considered for acceptance. With Japan's support the Kyoto Protocol was accepted by all attending nations, except that of the US, at the Bonn Germany sixth Conference of the Parties' meeting on July 22. It waters down considerably the provisions of the protocol as originally agreed four years ago, from 5.7 percent below 1990 levels to just under 2 percent below the 1990 levels.

    The US can expect the socialist Europeans, especially Germany and France, Russia, China, their allies and the plethora of globalist funded NGOs to use these US rejections to relentlessly hammer on the US for being out of step with the rest of the world in solving critical international problems. We need to continually support the Bush administration's efforts, even if you believe they are for the wrong reasons, to not cave in to these enormous pressures to force the US into treaties that destroy our Constitutional protections and competitive edge. 

    It is too early to tell yet, but the way this is shaping up appears to be part of a larger strategy to paint the US into an unwinable corner and increase the global power of the EU, Russia and China at the expense of the US. In other words, it is nothing more than a huge power play to break the unipolar dominance of the US by the European, Russian and Chinese power blocs who have openly admitted this is what they plan to do. The coming months could represent one of the biggest geopolitical battle for power the world has ever witnessed. If we are in the end times, Revelation 17-18 suggest the US-Britain financial power bloc will win (again), albeit with considerable compromise to the other global power blocs.  V mc    TOP
