We are not a democracy or a dictatorship. We are a Republic wherein the power to make and/or change law is vested in the individual people. As Robert E. Hales stated in his revealing book, Secret Combinations Today,
"In a true republic, the voice of each man and woman is registered on an issue. In an expanded republic, [such as ours] an elected representative represents the position of those who elected him or her. Here, the actions of the elected representatives are determined by a Constitution." He then goes on to say, "Elected representatives must know that they must not listen to nor heed the voice of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Tri-Lateral Commission, the United Nations, the Federal Reserve Board, the International Monetary Fund, or other foreign or domestic parties and interests when those voices go contrary to the traditional American values and constitutional rights of the people. We, the people, are the ones they must represent and the voice they must follow."
Obama did not seek our approval for such an act. He thought it would be in his own best interest to downgrade and submit our national sovereignty even further to a collection of governments which rule with police-state methods. He ought to be reminded of Congressman Crockett's teachable moment when a humble member of his constituency gently confronted his misunderstanding of the Constitution and the proper role of government. (See my earlier blogpost entitled, A Republic Gone Bad) I believe that to weaken and undermine the Constitution is the gravest mistake a President could make. Either our current President follows bad advice or a mistaken judgment of the facts, or he is a traitor himself. In truth, he has already proven himself to be a traitor to his own words with respect to the raising of the debt ceiling. Here are his words declared in March 2006 regarding the same matter:
"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that “the buck stops here.” Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."
Yes! We do! Five trillion dollars later and Obama is still cloudy and confused about our nation's economic downturn and his personal role toward its sharp decline. It must be surmised then that our President is more of a puppet than a leader - a hollow figure through which the hand of corruption so suitably slides. Similarly, like wolves in sheep clothing, the tyrants of the world and corrupt politicians of the same ilk talk hope and change but act with hatred and utter contempt for the liberty and welfare of their countrymen. Their mission is to preserve power and control rather than peace and moral excellence. How then can any true freeman remain silent and refuse to take an active interest in such things amidst the decay of our nation's moral fabric? And whose corrupted hand surrounds and includes our President so fittingly? The appropriate answer is the United Nations. And where is the outcry? Why do so many people persist in celebrating the "good intentions" of Obama and the U.N. while the nation burns and decays from within? Such ignoramuses are as dangerous as they are insane.
"Where's the manly spirit
Of the true-hearted and unshackled gone?
Sons of old freemen, do we but inherit their names alone?
Is the old Pilgrim spirit quench'd within us?
Stoops the proud manhood of our souls so low,
That Mammon's lure or Party's wile can win us to silence new?
Now, when our land to ruin's brink is verging,
In God's name let us speak while there is time;
Now, when the padlocks for our lips is forging,
Silence is a Crime."
-John Greenleaf Whittier
The time has come for our world to shake - to reel to and fro like a scroll, ridding itself of evil and corruption once and for all. Like panning for gold in a river, the earth needs to sift herself, separating the lighter sand masses of corrupt and unprincipled minds from the golden nuggets of virtue, the waste from the resource, the weak from the strong. Our free market system does not exist to fund despots, human rights violators, and tyrants, though such governments are exactly the kind of organizations our subordinate leaders see fit to support. Our continued support of an anti-American, anti-freedom organization like the United Nations ought to end. It must end. The world has grown dark and only America and Israel stand as the last remaining outposts for freedom, a shining city on a hill calling out to the peoples of the world to come together in peace beneath the banner of liberty and the warm, unending light of divine providence and protection. As the ancient apostle declared:
"The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light." (Romans 13:12)
The longer we forget God and trust in our own hands rather than His, the more His wrath is kindled. Are we sagging in our convictions and parroting the cry to 'stand by the President' and the U.N. in all things as if he [they] could do no wrong? Can we not feel our nation's descent toward totalitarian rule? If we do not stand up for truth while error is constantly being preached around us then we ought to "crouch down" as Samuel Adams once forcefully declared, and "lick the hands which feed" us while the chains set lightly upon our shoulders, blotting out our names from the annals of history as honorable and freemen of America. I recently lamented over the fact that during the week of July 4th there were a number of flag burnings and acts of vandalism by numerous residents of communities throughout the country. This is unbecoming of a free society and shameful. Such individuals should not be afforded any constitutional rights for a defense when their offensive actions in effect burned and tattered the Constitution itself. Such persons ought to be tried, convicted, and deported with extreme haste. Their cries and pleas for mercy would not be long kept once they see what the world is really like outside freedom's borders. Then we will see a flag soaked in tears rather than gasoline as Eldridge Cleaver, the once former leader of the Black Panther Party realized after finally embracing freedom's light. He said, "I'd rather be in jail in America than free anywhere else." Yet despite our earned freedoms, we have continued to allow the same corrupt organization and politicians to mock and defy our very liberties on our own soil and at our own expense, both financially and morally, since the U.N.'s establishment in 1952.
Senator Barry Goldwater once said this about the UN:
"The time has come to recognize the U.N. for the anti-American, anti-freedom organization that it has become. The time has come for us to cut off all financial help, withdraw as a member, and ask the U.N. to find a headquarters location outside the United States that is more in keeping with the philosophy of the majority of voting members, someplace like Moscow or Peking."
Amen, Senator. Amen.
Former Secretary of Agriculture and Prophet to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Ezra Taft Benson, said this about the U.N. and its disorganized and unharmonious actions:
"Supporters of the U.N. often tell us how wonderful it is that all nations can come together under a single room and air their problems in open debate. The implication, of course, is that this procedure is a way of "blowing off steam," a safety valve that somehow reduces the international tensions that otherwise might lead to war. How utterly absurd! Consider what would happen if every time a small spat arose between a husband and wife they called the entire neighborhood together and took turns airing their complaints in front of the whole group. Would there be much real chance of reconciliation? Instead of working out their problems together, the necessity of saving face, proving points and winning popular sympathy would likely drive them further apart. Not only that, by the time the issue was put to a vote, the neighbors would be forced into taking sides. Suddenly their own ranks would be divided and they would return to their own homes to continue a quarrel that, previously, wasn't even known to them. What starts out as an argument between two people now infects the entire neighborhood with bitterness and dissension.
Exactly the same kind of thing happens daily as the U.N. diplomats stand in front of the General Assembly, shake their fingers at each other, hurl insults at each other, and then ask all nations of the world to choose up sides. Far from being a procedure calculated to preserve peace, this kind of madness can only increase the likelihood of war. Quiet diplomacy always has been and still is far more conducive to real international progress than diplomacy on the stage."
And let us not forget the second and more serious component of effective diplomacy, Roosevelt's proverbial "large stick."
Secretary [President] Benson stated further:
"The U.N. has become a professional politician's paradise...it is becoming a world legislature, world court, world department of education, world welfare agency, world planning center for industry, science and commerce, world finance agency, world police force, and world anything else anyone might want - or might not want."
The only world government I am in favor of is the one which Jesus Christ Himself will establish upon the earth soon after his triumphant return. Until then, any other collective group or body of corrupted politicians and diplomats who assume that they have unlimited power over their subjects so as to authorize doing absolutely anything can all go to hell. The voice of the people is the sovereign power.
The United Nations is not a legislative body nor can it ever have the power to do so on our behalf. It is a venal chamber paved and held up by the mortar of mass deception and the resigned souls of apathy - a catacomb for the weak and corruptible. In it is deceit and from it bellows pure wind.
As many have come to know, the Lord is merciful to those who call on His name in righteousness and take upon themselves His holy name, even Jesus Christ, to be valiant defenders of the faith and the cause of truth and liberty. To such He offers protection, power, and the strength to endure our sufferings well. However, He will not permit the works of darkness to continue on unabated within His promised and chosen land, even the United States of America, "so long as a band of Christians remains to possess the land." And as long as wickedness reigns supreme, in public office as well as in the private affairs of our own homes, His wrath will be kindled.
As I mentioned earlier, the earth needs to be shaken. Like the Psalm says, "the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because He was wroth." (Psalms 18:7) Such quakes and commotions happen all the time throughout the world. Many start and end far from land while others strike at the very heart of nations. Still, there are those who persist in their wicked habits as if there were no consequence to sin, like a man building a house of sand along a fault-line. Just as a dog will shake itself dry after being weighted down with water, so will the earth one day shake and tremble the evil away from before her face until only the righteous remain. God wants a firm mind, steadfast and immovable - not a shakable one in hard times. He will not tolerate compromise or retreat on moral issues. He will not support tyranny over freedom. He does not support corrupt officials and organizations (and those who vote for them) who deal in secret rather than openly. The United Nations and others of the same ilk will not stand the test of time. And when that fateful day arrives, when the earth moves and trembles, wherever it may originate, I would not want to be found anywhere near Turtle Bay, Manhattan.
We should get out of the U.N. and get the U.N. out of the United States. By the voice of the people it must be done.
Long live the fighters
