SENATE BILL S. 2433 THE GLOBAL POVERTY ACT
According to David Bossie, President of the group 'Citizens United for American Sovereignty', based out of Merrifield Virginia , website: http://www.citizensunited.org/ (http://www.citizensunited.org/) the above- mentioned Senate Bill (S. 2433) is a piece of legislation in the works that all Americans need to know about and know now!
This bill, sponsored by none other than Sen. Barack Obama, with the backing of Joe Biden on the Foreign Relations Committee, and liberal democrats in Congress, is nothing short of a massive giveaway of American wealth around the world, and a betrayal of the public trust, because, if passed, this bill would give over many aspects of our sovereignty to the United Nations.
The noble sounding name of this bill, 'The Global Poverty Act' is actually a Global Tax, payable to the United Nations, that will be required of all American taxpayers. If passed in the Senate, the House has already passed it, this bill would require the U.S. to increase our foreign aid by $65 BILLION per year, or $845 BILLION over the next 13 years! That's on top of the billions of dollars in foreign aid we already pay out!
In addition to the economic burdens this potential law would place on our precarious economy, the bill, if passed in the Senate, would also endanger our constitutionally protected rights and freedoms by obligating us to meet certain United Nations mandates.
According to Senator Obama, we should establish these United Nations' goals as benchmarks for U.S. spending What are they?
1)- The creation of a U.N. International Criminal Court having the power to try and convict American citizens and soldiers without any protection from the U.S. Constitution.
2)- A standing United Nations Army forcing U.S. soldiers to serve under U.N. command.
3)- A Gun Ban on all small arms and light weapons --which would repeal our Second Amendment right to bear arms.
4)- The ratification of the ' Kyoto ' global warming treaty and numerous other anti-American measures.
Recently, the Senate Subcommittee on Foreign Relations (where Sen. Joe Biden sits) approved this plan by a voice vote without any discussion! Why all the secrecy? If Senators Obama and Biden are so proud of this legislation, then why don't they bring it out into the light of day and let the American people have a look at it instead of hiding it behind closed doors and sneaking it through Congress for late night votes.
It may be only a matter of time before this dangerous legislation reaches a floor vote in the full body of the Senate.
Please write or call, email your representatives, the White House, the media, or anyone you think will listen, and express your opinions regarding this Global Tax giveaway and betrayal of the American people at a time when our nation and our people are already heavily burdened with the threats to our freedoms and economic prosperity. :headshake :evillol:

Various blogs have been talking about the progression toward this chain of events for a few years now. I didn't realize it was that close.
It's been said that UN forces are already here, training on remote bases, chosen specifically because they will have no qualms about firing upon US citizens and subduing them when the order is given.
I've always dismissed it partly as so much fear mongering, but I think it could happen very easily. :dunno:

Yeah but those are conspiracy theories Doug so I would take that stuff with a grain of salt. We have been training the military of our allies who are also UN and NATO members for decades. Mainly as part of weapons sale packages. We recently trained the Canadian Defense Forces (whole regiment) prior to deployment to Afghanistan and the only thing they will be shooting at is the Taliban and Al Qaeda.
As far as shooting at U.S. citizens over my dead body.

Yeah I hear you. I think the concern among the high command that US troops probably would be reluctant to fire upon US citizens on our own soil is quite valid. I think it could go either way, but Katrina gave us a taste.
I have conversations about some of this with coworkers and friends, both vets and non-vets. I've brought up that issue and we've talked about it. They say they could never see it happening, and I remind them what the prevailing defense was at Nuremberg. You know the drill: "I was just following orders".
My Lai didn't involve killing US civilians, but it was a pretty heinous affair, nonetheless. From the accounts of it, Calley believed he was following orders and his men participated. Stress will do wild things to people and make them do things they might not otherwise do. It definitely wasn't one of our finest moments, but war sucks and bad things happen in the bush.
I don't get too crazed about the blogs, but it does give food for thought.
