More About: Obama AdministrationTreaties from hell
You may have heard of some of these beauties, as
most are not new. You may not know, however, the
speed with which they are being pushed while
Republicans are distracted with the Presidential
nomination. Worse, if these treaties do get signed
and ratified (which could well happen in a
Democrat-controlled Senate), Morris points out they
will have the same status as constitutional law and
cannot be altered by Congress or trumped by state
legislatures. Their provisions must be enforced by
U.S. courts. Just what our U.S. courts need – more
power!
The first is the Law of the Sea Treaty
(LOST). Already signed, it requires that
the U.S. give half of our royalties for off-shore
oil and gas drilling to an international body of 160
countries that vote on which countries should get
the money. How frightening is this? We have only one
vote of the 160, and panting nations of the world
are lined up for the spoils. Morris tells us Obama
will push for its ratification, with the aid of
Senator Richard Lugar (RINO,
Ind.), after Lugar's primary this fall. (That way
the little rat can ratify with relative impunity.)
It also mandates us to share our offshore drilling
technologies with other countries for free. What do
we get in return? Zip.
The second is the International Criminal
Court. It is a body set up by the nations
of the world with international judges who would
have the power to prosecute violators of not only
genocide but also the new crime of "aggression."
Aggression is described as going to war without
permission of the United Nations. American
presidents and Cabinet members could be imprisoned,
with Russia and China having veto power over U.S.
actions. No wonder George W. Bush wanted to steer clear, but Hillary is barreling
ahead. Some of you may think this sounds cool, but
give it a little thought.
The third one is the Small Arms Treaty.
This is basically a way to enact gun control without
going through Congress by means of a global ban on
the export of small arms. The ban applies only to
private citizens. Consider: It's the governments of
the United States, China, Israel and Russia that are
exporting 80 percent of the arms around the world,
not the individual Tom and Harry (oh, yea, and ATF
on order of the Justice Department). An
international treaty that deals with the governments
moving arms instead of the individuals involved is
goofy.
Now the entire world will know if I have a gun.
What's more, all my ammunition must be registered.
Gun grabbers are drooling.
The fourth one is the Rights of the Child
Treaty to be run by a 14-member court.
It's an effort to dictate that a code of rights for
children is going to be locked into an international
covenant. It's meant to fight child prostitution,
kidnapping and trafficking. But it could also impose
rules in how to deal with children, where they may
be educated, what religious instruction they should
receive, or what discipline they should get, says
Morris.
We already have the constitution and child
protection laws. With the "gentle snowflake"
treatment we give our kids, soon we'll need
protection for the parents. (Already my friends
aren't allowed to see the grades of their child in
college without his permission!) Hillary wrote that
"It Takes a Village." I guess her sequel will be,
"It Takes an International Treaty."
These are all power grabs by the international
bureaucracy at the United Nations. The rest of the
world, a vast majority with hatred for us, sees this
as a perfect opportunity to cripple Uncle Sam while
Obama and Hillary are in charge.

Again, much of the treaty stuff relates to people who claim that they are U.S. citizens. If you are a State Citizen (ask Gene at http://www.theamericanrepublic.com/), treaties don't apply to you in the same way.
If a treaty is made that goes against the Constitution, such a treaty is "illegal." It is null and void from its inception. The nations that the treaty was made with will simply need to get over it... or go to war. Also, the U.S. should either dissolve the illegal (treasonous) treaty, and try for treason those who set it in place.
Here is the real clincher. The Congress, the people that run the Government, the people who are supposed to looking out for you and for me, they are often the ones who will uphold an illegal treaty... just like they remain in favor of a Constitutionally illegal central bank and Constitutionally illegal income tax.
