WORLD PEACE












Part 2: The UN Millennium Summit
http://www.un.org/millennium/

Like today's leading politicians, the Summit promised all kinds of rewards to those who would bow to its reign. But its seductive promises hide unthinkable threats to personal freedom and national sovereignty. Their purpose is socialist control, not compassion. Hard to believe? Then look at the roots of the United Nations.

Founded in 1945, the United Nations chose the communist spy Alger Hiss
http://www.britannica.com/bcom/eb/article/4/0,5716,41464+1+40585,00.html as its first, though temporary, Secretary-General. http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/#5 [5] A Harvard law-school
graduate, he served as an advisor to Franklin D. Roosevelt at the end of World War II. While secretly functioning as a Soviet agent, Hiss worked with the forerunner to the National Council of Churches to
establish a world government that fit the Communist vision for socialist control. (See Conforming the Church to the New Millennium) http://www.crossroad.to/text/articles/ConformingChurch1-0 He didn't
stay long at the helm of the organization he had helped found. In 1946 he was elected president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and was replaced by Trygve Lie, a Norwegian
labor leader. http://www.britannica.com/bcom/eb/article/2/0,5716,49312+1+48173,00.html


Trygve Lie had earlier first been nominated to preside over the General Assembly by Andrey A. Gromyko of the Soviet Union. As Secretary-General in 1950, he urged that the UN admit the Communist People's Republic of China. But he offended the Soviet Union by supporting military intervention in the Korean War. From then on, he faced its "official hindrance and personal insult." Meanwhile, as a result of the McCarthy investigations against suspected Communists in the UN, Lie's "secretariat was accused of giving jobs to disloyal U.S. citizens." None of the charges were proven, but his authority suffered and he resigned in 1952. http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/#6 [6]

In the article, The Un-American United Nations, http://www.newsmax.com/commentarchive.shtml?a=2000/9/6/092459 Steve Farrell wrote:

"Of the 17 individuals identified by the US State Department as having helped shape US policy leading to the creation of the United Nations, all but one were later identified as secret members of the
Communist Party USA....

"... the ideological makeup of the UN¹s leadership has been constant. In its 54 year history all eight Secretary Generals of the UN have been either dedicated socialists or communists, all 15 of the UN
Under-Secretary-Generals for Political and Security Council Affairs (the UN¹s military boss) have been communists (all but one from the Soviet Union/Russian Federation), and two thirds of the membership in
the General Assembly, the Security Council, and in the World Court have always been representatives of socialist and communist nations....

"Besides the scandal of having American communists Alger Hiss and company as the creators of the UN, a 1952 official Senate investigation into the then 6 year old United Nations revealed, 'extensive evidence indicating that there is today in the UN among the American employees there, the greatest concentration of
Communists that this committee has ever encountered.' And these were high officials." http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/#7 [7]

Words that, to many, bring a sense of security such as peace, ethics, compassion, rights, democracy, security, and sovereignty become meaningless in this context. Like Gorbachev's "Council of the Wise,"
the minds behind the UN agenda are masters at deception. Having rejected Biblical and moral absolutes, they are free to believe that the end they envision justifies any unconscionable means.

Consider some of the main points in the "working draft" http://www.sovereignty.net/p/gov/madeclaration.htm of the United
Nations Millennium Declaration "unanimously adopted"

by the delegates:



I. Values and Principles

1. We, the Heads of State and Government of the Member States of the United Nations, have gathered... to reaffirm our faith in the Organization and its Charter as indispensable foundations of a more peaceful, prosperous and just world.

Fact: It cancels every Constitutional right we treasure in America. The UN offers no balance of powers, no jury trial when accused..... (See Trading U.S. Rights for UN Rules)
http://www.crossroad.to/text/articles/turfur12-98.html

2. We recognize that... we have a collective responsibility to uphold the principles of equality and equity at the global level...

Fact: If your lifestyle fails to meet the UN's socialist standard for equality and equity you will face the consequences.

3. We reaffirm our commitment to the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter, which have proved timeless and universal....

Fact: The UN Charter, as an international treaty, could cancel our freedoms under the U.S. Constitution.

4. We believe that the central challenge we face today is to ensure that globalization becomes a positive force for all the world's people.... To be inclusive and equitable, globalization requires broad and sustained effort to create a shared future, based upon our common humanity in all its diversity....

Fact: This requires totalitarian training, management and monitoring of human resources around the world. Today's teaching and surveillance technology makes it possible to monitor compliance with the UN's politically correct "mental health" (including community participation and willingness to compromise) of each person and community.

The UN claims the right to define the rules, manage the action, and monitor compliance on each of the points below. The nice-sounding terms help win public consensus, but they hide an agenda that opposes
the freedom we treasure in America.

For example, "Equality" would end your family's right to choose traditional gender roles for your home. "Tolerance" carries the duty to participate in the (dialectic)consensus process,
http://www.crossroad.to/text/articles/MentalHealth2-99.html put aside contrary facts and absolutes, and join the unbiblical quest for "common ground."

5. We consider certain fundamental values to be essential to international relations in the 21st Century. These include:

Freedom: Men and women have the right to live their lives and raise their children in dignity, free from hunger and from the fear of violence, oppression or injustice. ...

Equality: No individual and no nation must be denied the opportunity to benefit from development. The equal rights and opportunities of women and men must be assured.

Solidarity: Global challenges must be managed multilaterally, and in a way that shares the costs and burdens fairly in accordance with the most basic principles of equity and social justice. ...

Tolerance: Human beings must respect each other, in all their diversity.... Differences... should neither be feared nor repressed, but cherished as a precious asset.... Dialogue among all civilizations should be actively promoted.

Respect for nature: Prudence must be shown in the management of all living species and natural resources, in accordance with the precepts of sustainable development. ... The current unsustainable patterns of
production and consumption must be seriously addressed in the interest of our future....

The next section is introduced in Article 6 as "the key objectives to which we assign particular significance." It includes surrendering legal rights such as a jury trial to the whims and inefficiencies of
a UN Criminal Court and to UN officials who often despise everything America once valued.




II. Peace, Security and Disarmament

7. We will spare no effort to free our peoples from the scourge of war...

8. We resolve therefore:

To strengthen respect for the rule of law.... [i.e. the UN's international laws]

To enhance the effectiveness of the United Nations in the maintenance of peace and security, by giving it the resources and the tools required to promote conflict prevention, the peaceful resolution of disputes, post-conflict peace building and reconstruction, and by strengthening the capacity of the Organization to conduct peace keeping operations.

To take concerted action against the menaces of terrorism and drug trafficking....

To take concerted action to prevent the illegal traffic in small arms and light weapons, especially by creating greater transparency in arms transfers....

To strive towards the elimination of weapons of mass destruction, particularly nuclear weapons...

National sovereignty isn't mentioned here. However, the Security Council Declaration
http://www.un.org/News/dh/latest/peace_security.htm signed on September 7 "reaffirms its commitment to the principles of... national sovereignty... and respect for human rights and the rule of law." But, as in most UN treaties, there is a catch. (See Trading U.S. Rights for UN Rules)
http://www.crossroad.to/text/articles/turfur12-98.html

If, in the eyes of the UN, a nation violates the rules and principles of these treaties, they would face UN disciplines. If, under the planned UN monitoring system, a person or nation fails to carry out its UN-defined duties, it loses its rights. In this context, national sovereignty becomes meaningless. The U.S. Constitution would no longer guard the nation against UN legal or military interference.

For example, the Declaration "Affirms its determination to strengthen United Nations peacekeeping operations by:

"taking steps to assist the United Nations to obtain trained and properly equipped personnel for peacekeeping operations;"

"strengthening consultations with troop contributing countries when deciding on such operations;"

President Clinton and other national representatives have promised to provide the resources needed to establish a UN militia capable of "rapid deployment" that could interfere in civil matters within nations. In effect, they are handing the UN the very tools it needs to destroy the freedom God once gave us.

In his Summit speech on September 6, http://www.un.org/millennium/webcast/statements/usa.htm Bill Clinton gave the kind of ambiguous message we have learned to expect from our president. You may want to compare his Executive Order on The Implementation of Human Rights treaties
http://www.crossroad.to/text/articles/turfur12-98.html with these nice-sounding words. They take on a different meaning in the overall context:

"We find today fewer wars between nations, but more wars within them. Such international conflicts, often driven by ethnic and religious differences, took five million lives into the last decade.... These conflicts present us with a stark challenge. Are they part of the scourge the UN was established to prevent? If so, we must respect sovereignty.... but still find a way to protect people....

"We must provide those tools-- with peacekeepers that can be rapidly deployed with the right training ad equipment, missions well defined and well led, with the necessary civilian police." http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/#8 [8]

This UN militia may well be necessary to quell the anger of the masses when they awaken to the true UN agenda. The next section gives another glimpse of the plan. It would establish a socialist welfare system for the people of the world -- funded primarily by U.S. taxpayers. Free enterprise, as we have known it, would no longer exist:


III. Development and Poverty Eradication

9. We will spare no effort to free our fellow men, women and children from the abject and dehumanizing conditions of extreme poverty... fully realizing the right to development and freedom from want.

10. We resolve, therefore, to create an enabling environment....

11. ... Internationally, success depends on the existence of an open, equitable, rule-based, predictable and non-discriminatory multilateral trading system, which guarantees special and differential treatment of developing countries....

12. We ... call on the industrialized countries to: adopt... a policy of duty-free and quota-free access for essentially all exports from the least developed countries; to implement the enhanced program of debt relief....

14. We resolve further: To halve, by the year 2015, the proportion of the world's people (currently 22 per cent) whose income is less than one dollar a day...

15. We also resolve:

To ensure that the benefits of new technologies, especially information technology, are available to all. To develop strong partnerships with the private sector and civil society organizations in pursuit of development and poverty eradication. The Summit called for ratification of several treaties:




IV. Protecting our Common Environment

16. We must spare no effort to free all of humanity... from the threat of living on a planet irredeemably spoilt by human activities....

17.We resolve, therefore, to adopt in all our environmental actions a new ethic of conservation and stewardship and, as first steps agree:

To adopt and ratify the Kyoto Protocol, so that it can enter into force no later than 2002- 10 years after the Rio Conference, and 20 years after the first United Nations Conference on the Human Environment and to begin the required reduction of emissions of greenhouse gasses, especially in developed countries. To press for the full implementation of the Convention of Biological Diversity and the Convention to Combat Desertification. To arrest the unsustainable exploitation of water resources.... To ensure free access to the information on the genetic code, since this belongs to all humanity. To better understand the practical ramifications of the above treaties, click on these sites:
