MARITIME ATTACK: Law of the Sea Treaty in US Senate for Approval

[Terminator Girl]

And herein lies part of the reason Lugar was defeated. Send the message to DC ... WE WILL NOT ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN! While we focus on the 2nd Amendment, they are trying to take control of something much more basic to survival. Even the UN logo for this (see picture) is eerily frighteningly futuristic new world order.

 The Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST) was first conceived in the early 1980’s by the United Nations as a method for them to gain control of most of the activities on, over, and beneath the ocean’s surface. The fundamental premise of the Law of the Sea Treaty is that the resources on the ocean’s floor belong to all of the people of the world and those resources should be protected and controlled by an international organization like the United Nations. Although that may sound like a noble goal, in order to achieve this goal, the United Nations has created a multinational, bureaucratic creature called the International Seabed Authority (“ISA”) and charged this entity with regulating and controlling the world’s mineral resources in the oceans.

 

 When President Reagan was president, he objected to several of the treaty’s provisions that would have resulted in surrendering our nation’s sovereignty and refused to sign it, but that didn’t stop the proponents of world government and the New World Order. In 1994, the “progressives (a nice term used to describe communists) at the United Nations decided to keep moving forward with their plans by creating a diversion they called an “Agreement of Implementation” that was supposed to address the concerns of the United States and other industrialized nations. It didn’t change anything. This new agreement was all smoke and mirrors, but our Oxford educated, globalist president Bill Clinton signed it anyway. The Senate, however, refused to ratify it, as required by the U.S. Constitution.

 Proposed regulations in the new Law of the Sea Treaty will require private companies that want to conduct exploration and mining operations in international waters to submit substantial application fees to the UN’s International Seabed Authority (ISA), which in turn would allow the ISA to use these application fees to partially pay for its own mining efforts through its own mining subsidy, called the Enterprise. Corporations from member nations operating in international waters would have to pay annual fees and even be taxed to pay a percentage of their profits to the ISA. These corporations would also be expected to share their mining and navigational technology with third world countries to ensure that opportunities aren’t restricted to more technologically advanced. This is insane. The decision to grant or to withhold mining permits in international waters would now be decided by unelected, globalist bureaucrats at the United Nation’s International Seabed Authority (ISA).
The Treaty would essentially give the United Nations, a notoriously corrupt, anti-American, anti-capitalist and un-democratic organization, the power to assert control over 70% of the earth’s surface.
Using the regulations issued by the ISA, the United Nations would now be given the power to levy international fees and taxes on American companies. Mining approvals would be highly politicized and could discriminate against American operators. The United Nations would be given the power to regulate ocean research, exploration, fishing, marine environmental protection and navigation. They could even impose production quotas and licensing requirements on American fishermen operating in international waters.

 The United Nations, through the ISA, would be given the power to create an international court system to render and enforce its judgments! This new system would lie outside the jurisdiction of the U.S. legal system and the U.S. Constitution, leaving American citizens and businesses at the mercy of international tribunals whose corrupt UN bureaucrats could subject them to Sharia Law or other non-Western legal traditions.
The Treaty calls for prosperous member nations like the United States to provide financial and technical assistance not only to developing countries, but also to “people who have not attained full independence or other self-governing status” (codeword for groups such as the Palestinians).
The Treaty would do irreparable harm to U.S. military and intelligence operations and would force the United States to hand over proprietary technology to less developed third-world countries, many of whom are actively hostile to U.S. interests. Giving up the U.S. Navy’s long established primary mission of “maintaining freedom of the seas for all” and handing it over to a historically corrupt organization like the United Nations should be unthinkable.

 The most important objection concerns Article 314 of The Law of the Sea Treaty (located in Part XVII) that empowers the LOST member Assembly, dominated by nations of the developing world, to amend the terms of the treaty over the objection of any individual member state. In other words, the terms of the treaty could be changed significantly and the United States would have to abide by those changes without the U.S. Senate having the opportunity to consent to the changes. This undermines U.S. sovereignty and is clearly unconstitutional.

 The Law of the Sea Treaty creates a new United Nations’ worldwide bureaucracy that will create a whole new restrictive system of destructive environmental regulations that would be costly and counter-productive to American businesses, while at the same time, handing over the hard-earned, American taxpayer money to many of our enemies.

 The socialists, Marxists, globalists and other supporters of the New World Order keep pushing for this treaty. Senator Harry Reid has indicated that he might reintroduce the treaty in the Senate for a vote in the near future and Barack Obama, our socialist President, who is a long term advocate of the Law of the Sea Treaty, has indicated that he will sign it if passed by the Senate.

 

The Coalition to Preserve American Sovereignty has brought an open letter to the senate, coordinated by Frank Gaffney, with the signatures of nineteen notables. This letter is featured in The Minority Report, which would also expose a separate, false-hood front group calling itself The American Sovereignty Campaign, purporting itself as pro-sovereignty while lobbying for LOST. The American Sovereignty Campaign – interesting – almost as if someone’s email or telephone conversations were caught. Oh well. It is a common practice for immoral Marxists and other ideological movements sponsored by the kleptocratic central bank complex to either attempt to control their opposition, or to set up an operation posing as a faction of it.

 It is again time for immediate and forcefully amassed communications to U.S. Senators of all kinds, even their numerous Fabianists. A two-thirds majority is required to approve a treaty, but these people are being heavily pressured by the kleptocracy and their globalist co-conspirators.

Another response, though typically of lesser impact, a petition to the senate is being sponsored by conservative PAC, Right March http://petitions.conservativeactiona...c%3DRightMarch.
Following is notable and extensive analysis from the recent past. ■“Media Prepare Russian Treaty Trap for the U.S.” (specifically on LOST) by Cliff Kincaid, August 2011 http://gulagbound.com/20315/media-pr.../#.T7J-BtlXGvU ■“National Ocean Council & Executive Order 13547; Obama’s Latest Assault on Liberty,” by Henry Lamb, July 2010 (and yes, the massive false-hood Agenda 21, environmentalist movement is rife in this) http://gulagbound.com/2021/national-.../#.T7KRM9lXGvU ■Reject the Law of the Sea Treaty (2007-2008, Coalition to Preserve American Sovereignty – CLOST) http://www.rejectlost.blogspot.com/ ■“Our Global Neighborhood,” by Henry Lamb, Sovereignty International, 1996 http://www.sovereignty.net/p/gov/gganalysis.htm

 

It is past time to move beyond fear of being called a “conspiracy theorist” by pointing out the past, present, and impending future of the concerted efforts of globalist movements and the criminal financial powers behind them. If you agree, please see the activist organization of which we who have prepared this article are a part. If you agree with SovCam’s Mission, join us.   And call your two senators. If they are not on the Foreign Affairs Committee tell them to have a chat with those who are. Since America’s well-being and vital sovereignty require this treaty to never be approved, so do their careers.

Thanks.

[Scott Eric VanBoskirk]

More ammo for the ultimate removal and charges of treason for the Senate (at least those who approve LOST) and Obama.....

Hmmm...LOST is aptly named for what this treaty does to the Sovereignty of the US.  I just pray that we can somehow turn this behemoth that is the Fed around before the US Republic is LOST....

[Bruce Forster]

IF Reid & Obama Bin Laden DO get us hooked into this, I have a suggestion for U.S. Fisherman...Carry fully automatic weapons on your boats, and if a U.N. Patrol boat shows up, Blow the Bastards out of the water!

[Clarence E. DeBarrows]

ANY treaty about ANYTHING, the mandates of which take precedence over those in our Constitution, is anathema to this Country and what it stands for.  Any politician who supports such a treaty is in conflict with our Constitution and their oath of office!

[Scott Eric VanBoskirk]

In other words, business as usual for this rogue regime...

[Johnny Smith]

Thanks for the info. We, as in the U.S. need to remove ourselves from the UN forthwith and denounce it for all we are worth. If this action isn't taken soon we will be done as a nation. Anyone within our government that continues to go along with the UN's take over of the world should be removed from office with extreme prejudice.

[Steven G. Elliott]

The federal government must be put on trial for treason.

[George Schryer]

One other thing not mentioned in this article is that it would give the UN authority over all of our inland waterways also. Look at a topographical map and notice all the "blue" lines. These would be classified as navigable waters and fall under UN control. I live 5 miles from a river and 30 miles from a sound and I have a ditch behind my house, 4 ft deep and 6 ft wide that funnels rainwater run off from the highways and developed areas of my neighborhood. On the map it is Blue, the UN can come in and make me, and my neighbors, live by their rules.

This is another finger on the hand, like Agenda 21, that the UN is using to grab our soverniety and we have people in office who are willing to give it to them

[Terminator Girl]

Yes, they are.  This lame duck session will be the most dangerous and most damaging ever! They are running out of time.

[Terminator Girl]

boz already took the word navigable OUT in his EO:

They are attempting to pass the Clean Water Restoration Act of 2009 (S 787) that would amend the 1972 Clean Water Act and replace the words "navigable waters" with "waters of the United States."
"The bill also defines "waters of the United States" with such breathtaking scope that federal agencies would be required to regulate use of every square inch of the U.S., both public and private," according to the American Land Rights Association.
"Obviously, those behind this legislation have only contempt for the Constitution, limited government and private property rights. To understand what the framers of the Constitution intended, one need only look to their writings and the writings of those from whom they took wisdom and direction," said officials at ALRA.
"This is a terrible bill that would give the Federal government jurisdiction over anything that is wet including seasonal mud flats. This means that the Feds could enter your property and dictate what you can do with bodies of water on your land," said political strategist Mike Baker.
"It also means that the Great Lake States and Provinces could not protect the Great Lakes from being pumped dry to feed the growth of California and the Southwest. In that area, Democrat Senator Russ Feingold has sold out his own state: Wisconsin."
"Senate Bill 787 will change federal jurisdiction over “navigable” water, to give the federal government control over all water everywhere, in municipal reservoirs, and on private lands, and in private wells. This bill ignores state water law authority and the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution," stated Barbara H. Peterson, a farm lands protection activist.
"If the Feds own the water, then they can do anything they want to with it, and I have to ask permission to get a drink or water my animals," she stated.

Then came discussion by barf's administration to amend Executive Order 11988 (Jimmy Carter in 1977): 

Executive Order 11988 http://www.waterways.org/ October 2009 [e-mail]

Proposed Changes to Executive Order on Floodplain Management

It has been in the works for a long time. Again, read the entire article at:  http://apatriotrant.blogspot.com/search?q=heinous&updated-max=2...

[Ed Gamble]

I have written to both my senators in GA on this and received NO RESPONSE whatsoever from either of them.  This is nothing more than a complete surrender of our sovereignty and massive global wealth redistribution.  Our wealth confiscated by the UN to give to whomever they please.  In some cases this will be our enemies.  In no case will there be any benefit to us whatsoever.

[Ed Gamble]

If this passes it will have the same force of law as a Constitutional amendment.  It will require a Constitutional amendment to withdraw us from it.
