1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:25,880 America is surrendering its sovereignty to a world government. 2 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:26,880 Hooray! 3 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:29,880 World government is coming! 4 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,880 Deal with it. 5 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:38,440 Robert Wright, senior editor of the New Republic, writes that much power now vested in the nation 6 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,840 state is starting to migrate to international institutions. 7 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:50,120 World government, he claims, is probably in the cards, and what's more, it's a good idea. 8 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:55,980 Often those working for world government present themselves not as advocates, but as mere analysts 9 00:00:55,980 --> 00:00:58,240 of inevitable natural trends. 10 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:03,120 By casting the steps toward world government in a favorable light, they prepare the public 11 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,000 to accept what lies ahead. 12 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,880 and didn't really pay directly. 13 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,880 It takes advantage of having those arcades, of infinite admirals. 14 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:20,800 What happens to cause the factory critics to get elected? 15 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:42,800 The World Federalist Association, or WFA, is one of the largest organizations that openly 16 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:48,800 promote world government. Periodically, the WFA extends a global governance award to a 17 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:57,800 prominent individual pushing for the same goal. Former CBS Anchorman Walter Cronkite was among the recipients of the WFA award. 18 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:04,800 Thank you very much. Today we must develop federal structures on a global level. To deal with world problems, 19 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:11,800 we need a system of enforceable world law, a democratic federal world government. 20 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,800 In a closed circuit hookup, Hillary Clinton congratulated Cronkite. 21 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:24,800 For decades, you told us the way it is. But tonight, we honor you for fighting for the way it could be. 22 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:30,800 In 1993, the WFA honored an editor for Time Magazine for an essay he had written entitled, 23 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,800 The Birth of a Global Nation. 24 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:39,800 Nationhood as we know it will be obsolete. All states will recognize a single global authority. 25 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:49,800 After receiving the award, the editor, Strobe Talbot, was appointed Deputy Secretary of State in the Clinton administration. 26 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:59,800 In February of 2000, the New York Times allowed the WFA a full-page ad to spread its globalist propaganda. 27 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:13,800 However, those striving for world government generally keep their objective hidden from the public eye. 28 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:22,800 The late Senator Alan Cranston explains why to his fellow globalists in the April 1976 issue of Transition Magazine. 29 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,800 The more talk about world government, the less chance of achieving it, 30 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,800 because it frightens people who would accept the concept of world law. 31 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:34,800 Globalists often cloak their ultimate goal behind less threatening labels. 32 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:44,800 Terms as world order, collective security, interdependence, global community, economic integration, or convergence. 33 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,800 However, all point down the same road. 34 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,800 Yet candid admissions do occur. Occasionally they even expose official policy. 35 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:59,800 One of the most blatant is recorded in a confidential 1961 study. 36 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,800 Commissioned by the U.S. State Department, 37 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:06,800 a world effectively controlled by the United Nations directly states the key point. 38 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,800 It is world government we are discussing here. Inescapable. 39 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,800 The author, MIT professor Lincoln P. Bloomfield, 40 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:20,800 also explains that the UN would have to have an unchallengeable monopoly on military power. 41 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:25,800 A world effectively controlled by the United Nations is one in which world government would come about 42 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:31,800 through the establishment of supranational institutions characterized by mandatory universal membership. 43 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:37,800 National disarmament is a condition for effective UN control. 44 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,800 The Bloomfield study is grounded in official American policy. 45 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,800 That policy is stated openly in Freedom From War, 46 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:50,800 the United States program for general and complete disarmament in a peaceful world. 47 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,800 It was presented to the UN General Assembly by President Kennedy. 48 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:59,800 The document calls for the transfer of national armaments to UN control in three stages. 49 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,800 Stage two proposes that the UN peace force shall be established and progressively strengthened. 50 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:12,800 At the dawn of the 21st century, programs to complete the stage are firmly established and well underway. 51 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,800 The Freedom From War blueprint concludes with stage three. 52 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:22,800 Where no state would have the military power to challenge the progressively strengthened UN peace force. 53 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,800 This policy has guided every administration since. 54 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:33,800 Even so-called conservative Republican administrations have been committed to building this new world order. 55 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:41,800 We have before us the opportunity to forge for ourselves and for future generations a new world order. 56 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:48,800 A world where the rule of law, not the law of the jungle, governs the conduct of nations. 57 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:55,800 When we are successful, and we will be, we have a real chance at this new world order. 58 00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:05,800 An order in which a credible United Nations can use its peacekeeping role to fulfill the promise and vision of the UN's founders. 59 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:13,800 Yet the potential dangers from this massive power transfer are not being discussed in the public arena. 60 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:22,800 Behind the conduct of top American officials and their media allies exist motivations that stepping back in time can help clarify. 61 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,800 The framers of the Constitution had a profound understanding of human nature. 62 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,800 They knew that even the best of men could not be trusted with power. 63 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:46,800 So they designed a government with checks and balances to make it difficult for officials to accumulate and abuse power. 64 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:51,800 The United Nations, however, embodies few of those checks and balances. 65 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,800 And it recognizes no moral authority greater than itself. 66 00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:03,800 Investigative reporter for the New American Magazine and author of the United Nations Exposed, William F. Jasper. 67 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:12,800 Certainly one of the most important principles embodying the U.S. Constitution is the recognition that individual rights come from God. 68 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,800 And the purpose of government is to protect those rights. 69 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:20,800 The United Nations recognizes no God above the UN. 70 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:26,800 The United Nations, therefore, recognizes no impediments or restrictions on its power. 71 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:36,800 An early UN peacekeeping operation illustrates the inherent danger of entrusting the UN with power. 72 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:41,800 The setting is the Belgian colony in Africa known as the Congo. 73 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:53,800 In the early 60s, European nations fell under intense international pressure to give up their colonies in Africa and prepare them for independence and self-rule. 74 00:07:53,800 --> 00:08:00,800 To hasten this process, the UN formed a committee on decolonization. 75 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,800 At the same time, the Soviets were working to gain control of these colonies for themselves. 76 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:16,800 They sponsored so-called liberation movements and conspired to bring their front men to power through international pressure, bribery, and even terrorism. 77 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:22,800 In 1960, Belgium yielded to the international pressure and granted independence to the Congo. 78 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,800 The Soviets were ready to fill the vacuum. 79 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:33,800 Patrice Lumumba was their man, bought and paid for with cash, arms, luxuries, and all the women, gin, and hashish he desired. 80 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:38,800 With Lumumba as premier, peaceful independence lasted one week. 81 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,800 Lumumba then unleashed a communist reign of terror against the populace. 82 00:08:42,800 --> 00:09:01,800 Men, women, and children were tortured and murdered. 83 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:10,800 Amidst the terror in the Congo, the province of Katanga remained by comparison an island of peace, order, and stability. 84 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:17,800 Under the able leadership of Moise Shambay, Katanga declared its independence from the central Congolese regime. 85 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:24,800 I am seceding from chaos, declared President Shambay, a devout Christian and an ardent anti-communist. 86 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:33,800 For a brief moment, the courageous people in this infant nation stood as the singular testament to the capability of the newly independent Africans. 87 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:40,800 As a free people, they were capable of governing themselves with a sense of peace, order, and justice. 88 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:47,800 Shambay's misfortune, however, was to be pro-Western and pro-free enterprise. 89 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:55,800 Nikita Khrushchev declared Shambay to be a turncoat, a traitor to the interests of the Congolese people. 90 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,800 American liberals echoed the Kremlin hue and cry. 91 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:08,800 Soon after, the US joined with the USSR in support of a UN resolution authorizing the world body to send troops to the Congo. 92 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:17,800 The UN troops were used to assist La Mamba, the chief terrorist, in his efforts to subjugate Katanga. 93 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:29,800 UN troops advancing from all sides systematically wipe out all resistance pockets and in the process machine guns and bazookas killing many innocent civilians running for their lives to find cover from UN fire. 94 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:38,800 Smith Hempstone, African correspondent for the Chicago Daily News, witnessed the December 1961 UN attack on the capital of Katanga. 95 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,800 The UN jets next turned their attention to the center of the city. 96 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:50,800 Screaming in at P-top level, they blasted the post office and the radio station, severing Katanga's communications with the outside world. 97 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:58,800 One came to the conclusion that the UN's action was intended to make it more difficult for correspondents to let the world know what was going on. 98 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:08,800 Forty-six doctors of Elizabethville, Belgian, Swiss, Hungarian, Brazilian and Spanish, fired off telegrams to the UN pleading for a cease fire. 99 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:15,800 Later, they unanimously issued a joint report indicting the UN for atrocities against innocent civilians. 100 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:30,800 Shambay takes reporters on an eyewitness tour of an Elizabethville hospital, which although clearly identified by red cross markings and flags had been bombed and shelled by the UN. 101 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:42,800 After waging three major offensive campaigns against the infant state, UN forces overwhelmed Katanga and forced it back under communist rule. 102 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:49,800 The UN and its internationalist proponents continue to refer to the Katanga operation as a resounding success. 103 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:58,800 Peacekeeping has proved to be a very useful device, not just in the Middle East, but in Cyprus, the Congo, the subcontinent and a score of other places. 104 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:04,800 When the UN left the Congo four years later, it had achieved what it had been sent to do. 105 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:11,800 The United Nations operation in the Congo did not just help reestablish order and peace. 106 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:18,800 More importantly, it provided all around technical assistance to help build the infrastructure of a brand new country. 107 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:31,800 The residents of Katanga undoubtedly had a less enthusiastic view. 108 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:38,800 The UN has portrayed its role in Africa as helping to liberate black Africans from their white colonial oppressors. 109 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,800 A message that plays well to the sympathies of most Americans. 110 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:54,800 Yet the fact remains, the UN served as a vital Soviet ally in ensuring that the end of European colonialism in Africa would be replaced with Soviet-style colonialism. 111 00:12:54,800 --> 00:13:01,800 The result was that most of the people of Africa were denied true independence. 112 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:06,800 The decolonization campaign also impacted the United Nations itself. 113 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:13,800 As new pro-Soviet nations were invited to join, the UN General Assembly became more anti-American. 114 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:19,800 The composition of the UN Security Council was also affected by the shift to a less free world. 115 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:33,800 The Nationalist Government of Free China was one of the founding members of the UN and a permanent member of the Security Council. 116 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:46,800 That seat is given to a free and independent Chinese government representing a free and independent Chinese people. 117 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:57,800 Following World War II, the communist rebels under Mao Zedong succeeded in capturing the mainland provinces and the nationalist government was forced to retreat to Taiwan. 118 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:03,800 For many years thereafter, the communist agitated to have Red China replace Free China in the UN. 119 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:12,800 Opposition to such a move was based on the fact that the communist regime maintained its grip on the Chinese people through sheer terror. 120 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:31,800 In fact, the 1975 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records reports that the greatest massacre in human history ever attributed to any nation is that of 26,300,000 Chinese during the regime of Mao Zedong between 1949 and May 1965. 121 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:46,800 Admission of communist China into the UN would have made a mockery out of the UN Charter and the UN's image as an organization dedicated to promoting human rights. 122 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:56,800 Still in 1971, the UN General Assembly voted to admit Mao Zedong's Red China into the UN and ousted nationalist Free China. 123 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,800 Great jubilation ensued among the delegates. 124 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:06,800 UN Secretary General Wu Tant, an admirer of Vladimir Lenin, heralded the move as a major positive accomplishment. 125 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:13,800 And will eventually lead to the strengthening and betterment of this organization. 126 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:25,800 In 1989, the world caught a glimpse of the brand of justice that the Red Regime dispenses as communist troops massacred peaceful pro-freedom demonstrators in Tiananmen Square. 127 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:32,800 On Beijing's avenue of eternal peace, many were crushed under armored vehicles. 128 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:46,800 Another genocidal nightmare of the 20th century were the killing fields of Cambodia. 129 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:53,800 In 1975, the revolutionary Khmer Rouge captured the capital of Cambodia and took control of the nation. 130 00:15:53,800 --> 00:16:02,800 In less than four years, this group of Cambodian communists were responsible for the death of as much as one-third of Cambodia's population. 131 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,800 UN spokesmen frankly admit that the UN did nothing to stop the genocide. 132 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,800 However, the Khmer Rouge were supported by the major communist states. 133 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:18,800 States which often engineer terrorism and support the violent overthrow of established governments. 134 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:25,800 And which from the beginning have been members in good standing at the UN. 135 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,800 After the early massacres in Cambodia, 136 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,800 Ing Sari, foreign minister for the Khmer Rouge, 137 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,800 flew to a special session of the United Nations General Assembly. 138 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,800 After his arrival, he boasted, 139 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,800 We have cleansed the cities. 140 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:44,800 When he appeared at the United Nations, delegates enthusiastically applauded. 141 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,800 Similar treatment is extended to other like-minded potentates. 142 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,800 Yasser Arafat brandished a pistol in front of the UN General Assembly, 143 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:01,800 as he was given a standing ovation by the so-called peace organization. 144 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:08,800 To anyone who has observantly followed the United Nations over the past 50 years, 145 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:18,800 it comes as no surprise that every communist, terrorist, thug, bureaucrat who comes to the United Nations is welcomed there. 146 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:33,800 In the aftermath of World War I, a powerful group of internationalists offered humanity a solution to the ravages of war. 147 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,800 Collective security through world government. 148 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:42,800 The most prominent advocate of this plan was United States President Woodrow Wilson. 149 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:49,800 The League of Nations, he proposed, would enforce peace by threatening to use collective force against individual aggressors. 150 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:56,800 But Americans were leery of entanglements with the constantly warring European powers. 151 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,800 They wanted no part of a world super state. 152 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:04,800 The United States Senate refused to ratify the League of Nations covenant. 153 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,800 And without the U.S. membership, the League was doomed. 154 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:16,800 In response, the League's internationalist sponsors decided to found the Council on Foreign Relations. 155 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:22,800 Based in New York City, this private group's purpose would be to lay the groundwork in America for world government. 156 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,800 While gaining control within the U.S. State Department during World War II, 157 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:31,800 CFR members covertly worked towards establishing a successor to the League of Nations. 158 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:40,800 The plans for the future United Nations were drafted by the Informal Agenda Group, a secret committee set up by Secretary of State Cordell Hall. 159 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,800 The group was composed entirely of CFR members. 160 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:53,800 At the U.N.'s founding conference in San Francisco, 43 of the U.S. delegates, virtually the entire contingent, were CFR members. 161 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,800 Acting Secretary General for the conference was CFR member Alger Hiss. 162 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:03,800 Later, the American public would learn that Hiss was a Soviet agent. 163 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:09,800 Few Americans, however, would learn that the United Nations was the creation of the CFR. 164 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:16,800 And from World War II to the present, the CFR's influence in American government and society has grown dramatically. 165 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:24,800 In 1966, the CFR's influence was confirmed in Tragedy and Hope, a history of the world in our time. 166 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:30,800 Its author, celebrated historian professor Carol Quigley, sympathized with the CFR's agenda. 167 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,800 Concerning the secret network that manages the CFR, Quigley wrote, 168 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:43,800 I know of the operations of this network because I've studied it for 20 years and was permitted for two years to examine its papers and secret records. 169 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,800 Quigley also described their ultimate goal. 170 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:55,800 To create a world system of financial control in private hands, able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. 171 00:19:55,800 --> 00:20:02,800 Admiral Chester Ward, former Judge Advocate General of the U.S. Navy, was for many years a CFR member. 172 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,800 Subsequently, he became one of its chief critics. 173 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:14,800 According to Ward, the CFR's goal is the submergence of U.S. sovereignty and national independence into an all-powerful one world government. 174 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:24,800 Richard Harwood of the Washington Post also openly conceded that CFR members are the nearest thing Americans have to a ruling establishment. 175 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,800 Harwood's 1993 column pointed to the White House. 176 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:34,800 The president is a member, so is his secretary of state, the deputy secretary of state, all five of the undersecretaries. 177 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:39,800 Harwood went on through a litany of CFR members in the Clinton administration. 178 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:47,800 In fact, the CFR has dominated every presidential administration since World War II. 179 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:52,800 The list of CFR members serving in the Bush administration is extensive. 180 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:17,800 Despite their great influence, the CFR elites have yet to see a fully empowered U.N. 181 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:22,800 While U.N. activity began to compile a less than attractive track record, 182 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:30,800 critical books, film showings and radio broadcasts began to alert many Americans about the dangers of an empowered U.N. 183 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:35,800 As a result, faith in the U.N. began to diminish. 184 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:42,800 A 1959 Gallup poll reported that 87% of the American people thought the U.N. was doing a good job. 185 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:49,800 But by 1980, Gallup reported that only 31% felt the U.N. was doing a good job. 186 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:54,800 Resistance to the globalist agenda was also felt on Capitol Hill. 187 00:21:54,800 --> 00:22:01,800 Between 1975 and 1982, Congress received petitions with over 11 million signatures, 188 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,800 calling for the United States to withdraw from the United Nations. 189 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,800 But the battle had just begun. 190 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:25,800 The top planners behind the globalist drive did not underestimate the resistance they would face. 191 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,800 They were committed to build their new world order in whatever way they could, 192 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,800 in whatever time it might take. 193 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,800 That was the subject of The Hard Road to World Order, 194 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,800 a frank article published by the Council on Foreign Relations. 195 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,800 In the April 1974 issue of the CFR's journal, 196 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,800 veteran State Department official Richard Gardner 197 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,800 expressed his disappointment that like-minded internationalists 198 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,800 had failed to achieve what he termed instant world government. 199 00:22:55,800 --> 00:23:00,800 More importantly, he described an alternate route to the creation of an all-powerful super state. 200 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:05,800 The House of World Order will have to be built from the bottom up, rather than from the top down. 201 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,800 It will look like a great, booming, buzzing confusion. 202 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,800 But an end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, 203 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,800 will accomplish much more than the old-fashioned frontal assault. 204 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:22,800 Following this approach, the House of World Order architects have adopted a variety of strategies, 205 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,800 large and small, to achieve their goal. 206 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:31,800 Yet the strength of each of their strategies rests on one key element, deception. 207 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,800 For as British statesman Edmund Burke once said, 208 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,800 the people never give up their liberties, but under some delusion. 209 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:51,800 In order to pave the way for national governments to surrender any political power to the UN, 210 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,800 globalists need more than just a plausible pretext such as solving a crisis. 211 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:01,800 They must also create the appearance of popular support for their plans. 212 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:09,800 For several decades, the UN CFR access has been organizing non-governmental organizations, or NGOs, 213 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,800 into a force that it calls global civil society. 214 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:20,800 This NGO movement has been developed by the CFR strategists as a deniable asset. 215 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,800 For the NGOs must appear to be spontaneous and independent of the power structure. 216 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:32,800 The desired illusion is that the public is demanding change. 217 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:41,800 To drive their agenda forward, the CFR leadership uses the NGO movement as one arm of a giant pincer strategy. 218 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,800 The huge NGO network applies pressure on government from below. 219 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:52,800 The other arm of the pincer, consisting of CFR elites inducing political leaders, supplies pressure from above. 220 00:24:53,800 --> 00:25:01,800 While NGOs clamor for world governance, political leaders can respond, according to plan, to the so-called public will. 221 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:15,800 And the transfer of more power to the UN is achieved when the pincer strategy is employed with a variety of pretexts. 222 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:27,800 The plan to disarm civilians has been part of the earliest plans to disarm nation states. 223 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:33,800 The motive is simple. If no nation has allowed the military power to challenge UN authority, 224 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,800 then no private citizen or group should be able to resist that authority either. 225 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:45,800 In the 1990s, the UN itself began to take a much more visible lead in this movement. 226 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:54,800 In the UN presentation, Arm to the Teeth, the campaign for civilian disarmament is packaged as a response to a new threat. 227 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,800 Suddenly, a global plague of small arms threatens world peace. 228 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:07,800 The small arms crisis is so acute that the United Nations now considers it one of the gravest challenges facing the world. 229 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:16,800 The UN demonizes the widespread availability of guns as the cause of tragedy and death and makes an extreme claim. 230 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:22,800 It's not lawbreakers and terrorist movements that are the problem. It's the gun itself. 231 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,800 The small arms are like uninvited guests who won't leave. 232 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,800 Once they take over a country, they are virtually impossible to get rid of. 233 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,800 For small arms are not fussy about the company they keep. 234 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:41,800 They can murder indiscriminately men and women, young and old, rich and poor. 235 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:53,800 This UN propaganda aims to persuade viewers that they will be better off, safer, if they allow government to take away their means to defend themselves. 236 00:26:53,800 --> 00:27:02,800 Of course, not mentioned in the video is the role of the UN and its revolutionary friends in fomenting much of the aggression described. 237 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:10,800 The UN even goes so far as to cite the Rwandan genocide carried out with machetes as a reason to confiscate civilian guns. 238 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:15,800 800,000 men, women and children were murdered. 239 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,800 A United Nations Special Rapporteur saw the disaster approaching. 240 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:26,800 He warned the international community that if the arms were not collected immediately, the result would be catastrophic. 241 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:34,800 In many of these instances, this horrendous slaughter could have been prevented if the civilian population had not been disarmed. 242 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:43,800 Generating pressure from below, the NGO network also plays a critical role in the push for civilian disarmament. 243 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:49,800 The Arm to the Teeth video contains a classic example of the pincer strategy at work. 244 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:55,800 IANSA is a network of over 200 grassroots organizations from around the world, 245 00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:02,800 which coordinates the fight against the proliferation of small arms and also puts pressure on governments to act. 246 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:10,800 IANSA was not created as the result of a spontaneous outpouring from global civil society as the United Nations would insist. 247 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:19,800 It is entirely a creation of the United Nations in collaboration with tax-exempt foundations and certain socialist governments in Europe. 248 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:31,800 Revolutionary strategists have long recognized that a crisis can facilitate a major change in political arrangements. 249 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:37,800 Among the useful crises, war, or the threat of war, has always topped their list. 250 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:47,800 The threat of environmental catastrophe is still another crisis being used to persuade Americans to accept a revolution in world political arrangements. 251 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:56,800 Although many Americans have serious concerns about the environment, such genuine concern does not motivate the UN CFR elites. 252 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,800 Their object is power. 253 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:08,800 They have no interest in actually solving environmental problems, as that would defeat their objective by removing the impetus for political change. 254 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:15,800 More and more, Americans are being told that global problems require global solutions. 255 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,800 Global solutions meaning UN power. 256 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:30,800 History shows that giving more power to government is exactly the opposite of what those concerned about the environment should champion. 257 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:38,800 The most spectacular examples of environmental destruction are those that took place under state control in the former Soviet Union and in its colonies. 258 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:47,800 And it seems to me that people who are genuinely concerned about environmental protection should understand that the last thing we would want to do, if we want to protect the environment, 259 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:54,800 is to turn over total power to a political elite that can despoil the environment without sanction. 260 00:29:54,800 --> 00:30:03,800 By contrast, the best protectors of the environment are private property owners, simply because they have a vested interest. 261 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:10,800 Thousands of years ago, Aristotle pointed out that that which is owned by everyone is equally neglected by all alike. 262 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,800 And of course, that principle applies to the question of environmental protection. 263 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:21,800 Obviously, the people who have the greatest interest in preserving the environment are property owners, 264 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:25,800 people who want to develop property to increase its value and transmit it to their own children. 265 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,800 Convened under the pretext of saving planet Earth from environmental destruction, 266 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:36,800 the 1992 UN Earth Summit was a major watershed event for the globalist agenda. 267 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:46,800 The summit put governments on notice that major changes were needed in economic agendas and in our institutions of governance. 268 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:52,800 The Earth Summit gathering was designed to give the illusion of planetary democracy at work. 269 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:58,800 Delegates labored over details of language, while the NGOs lobbied outside for tougher measures. 270 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:06,800 In fact, the principal programs to come out of Rio had already been worked out well in advance by the CFR brain trusts. 271 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:16,800 In supporting the illusion of democracy at work, however, UN propaganda portrays the NGOs at Rio as an independent voice representing a cross-section of civil society. 272 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:23,800 The Viking ship Gaia sails here from Scandinavia, bringing 10,000 messages from children of many nations. 273 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:35,800 Here in the Global Forum, non-governmental organizations and environmental action groups hold their own Earth Summit under the symbolic tree of life to monitor the work of the official conference. 274 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:42,800 The massive and growing NGO contingent at the United Nations has become a global rent-a-mob. 275 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:48,800 And if you look at who is actually funding them, this becomes apparent. 276 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:59,800 They are there to make the one-worlders who are grasping for power look more conservative by taking a more radical stance in many instances, 277 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:05,800 and at the same time give the appearance that they are representing the people of the world, the voice of global civil society. 278 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:12,800 Another group found at many UN conferences are the so-called representatives of indigenous peoples. 279 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:18,800 The UN gives the impression that these activists represent the genuine independent voice of their people. 280 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:27,800 At virtually all of the UN summits, for instance, you will see so-called representatives of indigenous peoples. 281 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,800 You always see these same representatives miraculously showing up at these summits. 282 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:38,800 They were going to come there to represent the people of their jungle or of their rainforests or of their mountain tribe. 283 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:50,800 In virtually every case, they are there repeating the phrases that have been fashioned for them by these same NGO leaders who are promoting the UN line. 284 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:59,800 One of the major CFR-inspired programs to come out of Rio was Agenda 21, a massive environmentalist manifesto. 285 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:02,800 A UN-approved summary notes, 286 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:11,800 Effective execution of Agenda 21 will require a profound reorientation of all human societies, unlike anything the world has ever experienced. 287 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:16,800 A major shift in the priorities of both governments and individuals. 288 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:23,800 There are specific actions which are intended to be undertaken by every person on earth. 289 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:39,800 For several decades, globalists developed the idea of a permanent international criminal court with the power to try individuals. 290 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:47,800 At the dawn of the 21st century, the United Nations announced specific plans to implement such a court. 291 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:53,800 Proponents suggested that the demand for an ICC simply welled up in the UN General Assembly. 292 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,800 But the Council on Foreign Relations was clearly pulling the strings. 293 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:02,800 The Council on Foreign Relations hand was very evident in the preparatory meetings for the ICC. 294 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:10,800 I was at the Los Angeles conference and Ambassador David Sheffer, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, was the keynote speaker. 295 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:18,800 The chairman of the event there was also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, as were many of the other prominent people in attendance. 296 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:31,800 In addition, we see that the legal scholars like Richard Falk and others who are putting together the actual documents themselves, hammering out the wording, are also members of the Council on Foreign Relations. 297 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:37,800 In 1998, the UN convened a conference in Rome to hammer out a treaty that would establish the court. 298 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:42,800 Much like the Nuremberg trials dealt with Nazi officials after World War II, 299 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:50,800 proponents say the ICC will provide an impartial international venue to try tyrants and other assorted threats to world peace. 300 00:34:50,800 --> 00:35:02,800 In Rome, a widely read NGO publication reminded conference attendees where world justice was needed most. 301 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:09,800 The primary target of condemnation by both the NGOs and the delegates was the United States. 302 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:14,800 The ICC summit turned into a huge Bash America Fest. 303 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:23,800 Each day the official delegates who came to the rostrum as well as the NGO representatives denounced the United States, 304 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:30,800 decried us for our supposed violations of human rights, of economic rights, of social injustice. 305 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:42,800 Many of them explicitly stated that they wanted to use the ICC eventually to try U.S. citizens and U.S. officials for these perceived crimes. 306 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,800 The final day of the conference would serve as an omen. 307 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:50,800 When the minimal objections of the U.S. were defeated by the rest of the delegates, 308 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,800 the entire assembly erupted in a display of anti-American jubilation. 309 00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:01,800 In that brief moment, the U.N. delegates passed judgment. 310 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:07,800 America is the principal, if not the sole, source of evil in the world. 311 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,800 All that remained was the sentencing. 312 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:18,800 The resulting 166-page Rome Statute has been submitted to individual nations for ratification. 313 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:25,800 Professor Charles Rice of Notre Dame University School of Law examined the proposal for an ICC. 314 00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:35,800 In our system, law is supposed to be a rule of reason which, in a sense, controls the state. 315 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:38,800 And the state should operate under law. 316 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:45,800 There's simply no reasonable expectation that that will be the case under this. 317 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:51,800 But the ICC, Rice points out, has no limits to its jurisdiction. 318 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:59,800 Claiming jurisdiction to try Americans for actions committed within the United States, 319 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:05,800 which fit their definition of these crimes, you know, crimes against humanity, genocide and so on. 320 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:12,800 And that is simply a repeal of the Declaration of Independence. 321 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:14,800 I mean, this is outrageous. 322 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:22,800 The Rome Statute claims jurisdiction for the ICC to try any individual charged with genocide, 323 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:27,800 war crimes, crimes against humanity and aggression. 324 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:34,800 However, no reasonable consensus was reached at the Rome Conference concerning the definition of these crimes. 325 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:40,800 Their definition will be left to the arbitrary interpretation of ICC judges. 326 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:43,800 There are other ICC problems as well. 327 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:51,800 Judges, prosecutors and counsel can be drawn from authoritarian regimes that are resentful of Americans. 328 00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:59,800 The ICC will recognize no right to a trial by jury, and certainly no right to a speedy trial. 329 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:07,800 An American citizen, whether in or out of the U.S., could be accused of violating an undefined UN law. 330 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:12,800 He would then be tried and convicted by foreign prosecutors and judges, 331 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,800 then sent to some undisclosed prison somewhere in the world. 332 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:28,800 Most important, we should sign and ratify the Treaty for a Permanent International Criminal Court. 333 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:37,800 The majority of ICC supporters in government cannot risk showing their hands so openly. 334 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:45,800 Initially, the Clinton administration objected to some of the provisions of the ICC statute and refused to sign. 335 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,800 Political leaders expressed similar reservations. 336 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:53,800 While some of this resistance was genuine, much of it followed a familiar pattern. 337 00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:58,800 Many politicians will often conceal their support for radical proposals 338 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:01,800 by putting on an initial show of opposition. 339 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:06,800 Eventually, these false opponents reversed themselves at a strategic moment, 340 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:09,800 claiming a compromise has been achieved, 341 00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,800 and the public is led to believe that its interests have been protected. 342 00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:19,800 Eventually, the Rome Treaty was signed by Clinton, shortly before he left office. 343 00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:27,800 Ratification by the U.S. Senate is all that is needed for Americans to become victims of an ICC. 344 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:42,800 If a U.N.-controlled world government is achieved, Americans can expect their lives to change dramatically. 345 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:47,800 For example, population controls would go into effect in America. 346 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:53,800 These controls include mandatory abortion, modeled after China's U.N.-funded one-child policy. 347 00:39:54,800 --> 00:40:00,800 To eliminate surplus population, euthanasia and assisted suicide would be promoted. 348 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:08,800 Private and home schooling would be outlawed, as the U.N. takes control over all facets of education. 349 00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:16,800 New global taxes would also be imposed on Americans in addition to federal and state taxes. 350 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,800 To transform much of the United States into wild lands habitat, 351 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:26,800 millions of Americans would be relocated and miles of roads would be declared off-limits. 352 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:33,800 The very right to own property would be restricted and eventually abolished altogether. 353 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:40,800 All law enforcement officers would fall under control of a global U.N. police force. 354 00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:45,800 Local police would exist to serve and protect the state, not the citizens. 355 00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:50,800 And the entire American military would fall under the command of the U.N. 356 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,800 As part of the world's most powerful force, U.N. peacekeepers. 357 00:40:55,800 --> 00:41:00,800 Their prime objective? To suppress any opposition to the United Nations. 358 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:05,800 If plans for a U.N.-controlled world government continue unchallenged, 359 00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:10,800 Americans will soon discover that their constitutional protections will be gone, 360 00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:13,800 that resistance to the U.N. is impossible, 361 00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:18,800 and that the once mighty America is unable to defend herself 362 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:21,800 against an emerging totalitarian order. 363 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:39,800 Opportunities to reverse America's course are abundant. 364 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:46,800 Our constitutional system and cultural traditions continue to protect the freedom to speak out without fear of reprisal. 365 00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:52,800 And a giant advantage for the defenders of freedom is simply the desire to be free. 366 00:41:52,800 --> 00:42:00,800 At the same time, the internationalists fear an aroused and organized American public. 367 00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:06,800 They work to misinform and confuse, so that the public won't know where to turn for real leadership. 368 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:11,800 Leadership for effective opposition to the globalist agenda. 369 00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:26,800 Rather than cutting at the ever-expanding branches of U.N. programs, 370 00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:33,800 wielding a sharp axe to the root of the U.N. tree would assure a more permanent result. 371 00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:39,800 In this case, the root of that tree is United States membership in the U.N. 372 00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:46,800 U.S. withdrawal would stop the U.N. subversion of our nation and ultimately cause the U.N. to wither and die. 373 00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:50,800 Serving as the axe is the House of Representatives. 374 00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,800 It has the power to kill U.S. membership in the U.N. 375 00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,800 Simply by refusing to fund any part of the U.N. program. 376 00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:05,800 A majority of 218 votes could effectively get us out of the U.N. 377 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:15,800 In 1997, the first measure calling for the termination of the United States membership in the United Nations came before the House. 378 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,800 Fifty-four representatives voted in favor. 379 00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:24,800 Two years later, seventy-four representatives voted to cease all funding to the U.N. 380 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:31,800 At present, the remainder of the House lacks the backbone to resist the influence of the internationalists. 381 00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:37,800 The key to changing that condition, however, is taking place in communities across America. 382 00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:45,800 What is well understood by the internationalists is the power of organization. 383 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:48,800 It's why they've invested so much effort building it. 384 00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:55,800 In turn, those who cherish freedom must also organize in order to maximize their impact. 385 00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:58,800 And that's what this Carter Kid is designed for. 386 00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:01,800 Vice President of the John Birch Society, Tom Gow. 387 00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,800 Congressmen are focused on job security and getting re-elected. 388 00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,800 And the Founding Fathers intended it that way. 389 00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:16,800 When they set up the House of Representatives to be responsive to the American people in their local communities. 390 00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,800 And the internationalists know that. 391 00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:24,800 And that's why they've invested so much time in trying to gain influence in the organs of mass communication. 392 00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:27,800 So they can influence that public opinion. 393 00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:32,800 And it's very difficult for the congressmen to fight that influence. 394 00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,800 Fight the heat and the emotion that's generated in the nightly news and whatnot. 395 00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:44,800 Unless they have some means or see a voice for sanity that's reaching their constituents. 396 00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:50,800 And that's one of the roles of the John Birch Society or a primary function of the John Birch Society is to provide that voice. 397 00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:56,800 Informed constituent pressure is essential in order for congress to sever UN ties. 398 00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:00,800 CEO of the John Birch Society, G. Vance Smith. 399 00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:09,800 We have a great campaign. We have all kinds of tools. We have wonderful pamphlets that will really help people to understand what's going on. 400 00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:18,800 We have billboards, books, videos, all kinds of important things relative to this campaign, tools for this campaign. 401 00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:32,800 But those are not the campaign. The objective of the campaign is to change the individual, to help the individual understand how important their freedom is and the fact that they're going to have to do something about it. 402 00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:42,800 The only way there's going to be change is when the American people individually, one at a time, wake up and do something. 403 00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:50,800 So our campaign is to empower people under organized leadership to work together to bring about this change. 404 00:45:50,800 --> 00:46:00,800 With that kind of pressure that they can put on the members of the House of Representatives upon their own congressmen, they can worry about change. 405 00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:03,800 But there has to be a concerted action program. 406 00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:12,800 Ultimately, the outcome is determined by the inspired action of individuals across this great land. 407 00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:27,800 We really need the American people while there is still time to stand up for freedom and to stop the plans of the United Nations and in fact to get us, the United States, out of the United Nations. 408 00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:43,800 For where? 409 00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:45,800 If so, that's it.
