Are you ready to defend your country?...The United Nations will soon control YOU if the Law Of The Sea Treaty is ratified!

Personal note to Phil: If you spill some oil in your backyard or any contaminate that may leech from your property into the water the UN can impose steep fines and you may lose your property.

There are traitors* amongst us...and they're ready to sell out to the UN!

"Back in 1982, President Ronald Reagan decided not to sign a treaty known as “Law of the Sea” (LOST), a United Nations convention that would raid America’s treasury for billions of dollars, then redistribute that wealth to the rest of the world by an international bureaucracy headquartered in Kingston, Jamaica. But today, the Obama Administration has revived that treaty, and tomorrow Senator John Kerry (D-MA) will hold hearings designed to illustrate its supposed benefits and generate support for its ratification. Without a doubt, Reagan’s decision should stand, and LOST should remain relegated to the trash bin of history."  ~ Source Law of Sea Treaty A Back Door For Cap And Trade

Excerpts from a letter sent to Senator Shelby by Norman E. Hooben in 2007 (October?)

Do not ratify IHO Protocol Amendments! (see yellow highlighted area below)

America is in very deep trouble...

The letter to The Senate of the United States (see #1. below) from the President of the United States is deceptive to say the least.

If you read the letter carefully you will find it carefully re-written, cleverly disguised wording of the Amendment 21 of the Law Of The Sea (LOST) (see #2. below).  The President refers to it as article XXI of Convention on the International Hydrographic Organization...

 The wording strongly suggests that the President of the United States is trying to ratify the Law Of the Sea Treaty by piecemeal amendments.*

*(Note: Obama has signed similar legislation in his first year in Office)

Excerpts from IHO Convention: (quoted from source documents)

"CONVENTION ON THE INTERNATIONAL HYDROGRAPHIC ORGANIZATION THE STATES PARTIES TO THIS CONVENTION, Considering that the International Hydrographic Organization is a competent international organization, as referred to in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea"

The President fails to inform the Senate that the United Nations will be in complete control if this is ratified as stated by the United Nations General Assembly, Article V of the IHO Convention...

"ARTICLE V 

(a) The Assembly is the principal organ and shall have all the powers of the Organization unless otherwise regulated by the Convention or delegated by the Assembly to other organs."

United States membership includes the NGA...

So what does the NGA mean by this: (see 3.2 of their Mission statement)

(3.2) Streamline business processes by eliminating management and infrastructure stovepipes while transitioning from legacy and heritage systems.

 Sound like a New World Order to me.   Who's Brave New World are we going to have?

#1.   TO THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES (from Pres. George W. Bush)

With a view to receiving the advice and consent of the Senate to ratification, I transmit herewith the Protocol of Amendments to the Convention on the International Hydrographic Organization done at Monaco on April 14, 2005. The Protocol amends the Convention on the International Hydrographic Organization, which was done at Monaco on May 3, 1967, and entered into force for the United States on September 22,

1970 (TIAS 6933; 21 UST 1857; 752 UNTS 41). I am also transmitting, for the information of the Senate, the report of the Secretary of State on the Protocol.

The Protocol will facilitate the reorganization of the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO). The IHO, which is a technical and consultative international organization headquartered in Monaco, facilitates safe and efficient maritime navigation throughout the world. It accomplishes these objectives by facilitating the coordination of the activities of national hydrographic offices, promoting uniformity in the nautical charts and documents generated by such offices, encouraging the adoption of reliable surveying methods, and fostering the development of the science of hydrography. Reorganization of the IHO will result in a more flexible, efficient, and visible organization.

Ratification of the Protocol would serve important U.S. interests.  United States commercial shipping, the United States Navy, and the scientific research community rely heavily on hydrographic information collected and shared under the auspices of the IHO. The United States plays an important leadership role in the IHO and as a result enjoys expeditious and economical access to this information. Moreover, the United States has committed more resources than any other country to research, development, and evaluation of hydrographic instruments and therefore stands to benefit significantly from the efficiencies generated by this reorganization.

Article XXI of the Convention sets forth the procedure for the approval and entry into force of amendments: amendments that are adopted or "approved" by the Conference enter into force for all Contracting Parties to the Convention 3 months after two thirds of the Contracting Parties have notified the depositary of the their consent to be bound.

I recommend that the Senate give prompt and favorable consideration to the Protocol and give its advice and consent to ratification.

GEORGE W. BUSH

THE WHITE HOUSE, October 23, 2007.
