Effort to Reduce U.S. to UN Lackey
Continues in DC
As the "phony" scandals continue to create problem after problem for the
Administration a logical person would think the Administration would work twice
as hard to stem the tide rather than throw fuel on the already blazing inferno.
But, logical people, you forget with whom you are dealing.
As hard as it is to believe the arrogance of the Administration once again
stuck its thumb in the eye of Americans who still think the Constitution is the
law of the land. This time the culprit was the intrepid instigator of the Fast
and Furious scandal, the U.S. Department of Justice.
U.S. DOJ attorneys have advanced an argument at the Supreme Court that
would allow the U.S. government to invoke international law as a legal basis
for mundane things such as gun control.
I know and you know this little band of Constitutional miscreants will do
anything to advance their agenda. They've tried thousands of different ways
to ban gun ownership altogether in the U.S. despite the 2nd Amendment provisions
but the assault on more than assault weaponry took a nasty turn this week on two
fronts.
The big one went to the Supreme Court.
Now the basis of the DOJ's argument sounds innocent enough. The DOJ wants
the Supreme Court to rule on the basis of whether or not a international treaty
signed by the U.S. government allows the feds the "right" to prosecute cases
which would normally be handled by state or local authorities.
In effect, the DOJ wants to subjugate citizens' "Rights" given by God and
reaffirmed in the Bill of Rights through the various international treaty power
given the Congress in the Constitution...and individual gun ownership appears to
be first on the chopping block since the State Department did sign the United
Nations gun ban treaty earlier.
The test case is in progress. In this case, Bond v. United States,
a woman is charged with violating the international ban on chemical
weapons as she used toxic chemicals to get back at a friend who had an
affair with her husband. Normally this case would be heard at the state level
but the feds jumped in and charged her at the federal level under the Chemical
Weapons Convention Implementation Act. This international law was agreed upon as
a direct answer to Syrian dictator Bashar Assad for his use of chemical weapons
in Syria's civil war, otherwise even the U.N. had nothing concrete to go against
Assad in any substantial manner as he had mostly confined his war activity
inside his own country.
However, let's use a bit of comparison here. In Vietnam in the 1960s, our
government decided the enemy's use of Laos to get past troops could not go
unpunished. So we dropped Agent Orange by the factory load to destroy
the intrusive vegetation and attacked the migrating troops on the paths. The
then-U.S. government violated in spades the very basis of the law they want to
enforce now by moving a war across an international boundary and using chemical
weapons. Has the statute of limitations run out for the thousands of veterans
who were harmed by the deadly Agent Orange?
Bond's attorneys are presented with an unprecedented challenge. The
government is attempting to utilize international law to apply to a single
individual who happens to be an American citizen and who is protected by the
U.S. Constitution. "The problem here," they said, "is precisely that Congress,
rather than implementing the treaty consistent with our Constitutional system of
federalism, enacted a statute that, if construed to apply to petitioner's
conduct, would violate basic structural guarantees and exceed Congress's
enumerated powers."
The case and the applications of the government could have far-reaching
effects. It shows the government is trying to backdoor its way into a position
where it could do things it has long wanted to do like abolishing the death
penalty, removing states' right to regulate abortion, decreeing an end to
home-schooling or "non-public" education opportunities.
If this gambit does not work other government agencies are hard at it to
make sure public options that oppose the will of our dicta...I mean
elected official is limited.
The second case is more subtle on the surface.
Because of oppressive EPA regulations, the last lead smelter in the U.S.
just closed because the compliance costs had become smothering and did not allow
any economic return. This means we will have to go outside the U.S. to obtain
the metal necessary to supply our military with ammunition. It is one more nail
in the U.S. coffin because it means we are more reliant than ever on foreign
sources for even our own protection.
Slowly but surely the United States is reducing its will and ability
to remain an independent sovereignty. As citizens we are being tossed into the
international thresher where there are few "citizens" but an ever-growing
contingent of subject slaves, living in poverty while the elite collect massive
treasuries.
Look at the power struggle. Washington is conceding its place as a nation's
capitol to become a state capitol under the banner of an international
government. Our states will be reduced to the status of counties and our
counties will be the equal of today's school districts.
This is not a phony scandal but another real threat to
our country's continuation. A recent Fox Poll showed 82% of Americans believe
our status in the world is declining. If the Supreme Court does not make the
correct decision this time (and Obama is trying to pack the Court with more
liberal ideologues) the citizens will have no recourse but to have another
"Declaration of Independence" from the stupidity of its current
government.

The Rant is close to being shut down from an email
format and will only be accessible from a website. Final details for the website
will be determined shortly. As soon as that information is available, you will
be notified. I thank all the individuals who have allowed me to be a regular
part of their informational media the past four years and hope you will access
the website to follow the Rant regularly. To the many who have sent comments and
suggestions, I thank you again. It is those comments, suggestions and support
that make this effort worthwhile.--Mike
