BEYOND PEACE AND GOODWILL:
THE REAL AGENDA OF THE UNITED NATIONS
By

October 17, 2000
The
fifty-fifth anniversary of the United Nations is upon us. However,
those gathered in its celebration at the Millennium Summit did not
assemble to nibble cake and sip champagne. Rather delegates and
world leaders convened there to set the ball rolling towards the
next level of global administration.
In
the minds of most Americans, the purpose of the UN is to prevent
the likelihood of a catastrophic war by serving as a forum where
conflicting parties can assemble to discuss their differences. An
examination of the UN's true aspirations would cause such a rosy
image to evaporate like a drop of water on a parched summer day.
For
if Americans think they have it bad now under the current U.S. tax
system, they haven?t seen anything until the one being proposed
by the UN in implemented.
Under
this proposal, forms of international commerce such as airline tickets
and the transport of goods would be subject to taxation. However,
these funds would not go for the upkeep of international infrastructure
alone. Their primary purpose would be to finance an international
welfare system designed to redistribute resources from wealthier
nations to the poorer ones since a global income tax is also being
considered.
Despite
these ambitions, they are not enough to occupy the minds of those
conspiring to rule the world.
Prior
to the Millennium Summit, another summit was convened among the
world?s religious leaders to discuss the role they would play in
the onward march towards the New World Order. Instead of serving
as a forum to discuss the ways in which religion could be used to
patch the world?s deteriorating moral climate, those running this
pagan powwow such as Ted Turner and other theological heavyweights
used it as a sledgehammer to bash Evangelicals, Catholics, and even
Muslims daring to stand in opposition to the UN's promotion of homosexuality,
legalized prostitution, and other related measures deleterious to
individual character and the integrity of the family.
Those
thinking America's power and prestige will protect them from this
stupidity of global proportions are in for an even ruder awakening.
For
decades, American leaders of both parties have bent over backwards
in praise of the rush towards planetary government. But even if
America somehow mustered the courage to stand against this formidable
tide, America could be forced to surrender its nuclear deterrent
or incur the wrath of the proposed UN army. And there will be little
the American people will be able to do to protect themselves and
their families from rape and pillaging by forces from less civilized
nations such as Russia, Red China, and the remainder of the Third
World since global gun control is yet another item to be found on
the UN's already robust policy platter.
But
perhaps the saddest thing of all even beyond the bleak future being
planned for the United States is the fact that the media --- the
institution charged with warning the American people as to the nature
of the threats arrayed against this nation's liberty --- thinks
it is more important to inform the American people as to the occasional
profanity that might fall from the lips of George W. Bush or his
shortcomings in the pronunciation of the word "subliminal", a linguistic
mouthful few of us can wrap our tongues around.
If
the American people do not soon awaken to this threat of apocalyptic
proportions, in all likelihood America as we know it will no longer
exist, with our freedom and our Godly heritage subordinated to a
global leviathan that cares little for either.
