So long, it's been good to know yuh...

If the United States Senate ratifies the Law Of The Sea Treaty (LOST) the real estate known collectively as the United States of America will cease to exist.  What will happen is the U.S. will become simply one state among hundreds of other states (formerly countries) that will have one vote at the United Nations concerning anything to do with the world's oceans...that's everything from pollution, mining of the sea bed for minerals, drilling for oil, navigation and/or sailing and any monetary profits obtained from the oceans must be shared with those other states (formerly countries) that may or may not have had an investment in the exploration nor the wherewith all to contribute to such endeavors.  Simply put, if you invested millions of dollars into a drilling operation and discovered oil you will most likely have to share it with Russia or any or all countries decided upon by the United Nations.  This treaty will also allow UN officials to travel freely throughout our state (formerly 50 states) completely immune to our laws (see subsection g of LOST). Anyone...that should be ANYONE supporting this treaty has called for an end of the United States as we know it. ~ Norman E. Hooben

ps: and get ready to kiss your red, white, and blue banner of freedom goodbye...that blue and white rag of the UN...get used to it, it will be coming to a neighborhood near you soon!

Senate Considers Ceding Power to U.N., Sinking U.S. Economy in One Blow

Just like a horror movie series, evil-minded Soviet-era treaties just keep coming back to life, aided by their acolytes in the United States Senate.
John Kerry, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and mate of the Heinz ketchup fortune, last week decided to revisit the aptly named Law of the Sea Treaty — or LOST.
This treaty was originally rejected by President Reagan, but the LOST agenda has been lurking around the corridors of the United Nations ever since.
The treaty, which was endorsed by the former Soviet Union, would reduce our military power, rob us of rights over our own coastal resources, subject U.S. actions in international waters to the authority of foreign countries and submit our country to an international taxing agency that would “redistribute” our wealth to other nations, including some of our enemies.
Naturally, the liberals like it. And by liberals I mean not just Democrats but some of the RINOs hiding in the GOP camp, such as the five living Republican secretaries of state, from Kissinger to Rice.
The best reasons conjured for approving LOST include joining the international community in regulating the seas, “having a seat at the table” to negotiate rights over resources and having legal recourse should other nations violate our rights. Most incredibly, promoters of this treaty seem to think we’ll believe it increases our national security.

First, joining the international community to regulate the seas: We can already do that without the United Nations being given authority over us. It’s called diplomacy and negotiation.
Having a seat at the table: Unless you’re talking about an invitation to a gourmet feast or at least Thanksgiving dinner, a seat at the table isn’t worth much. Easy marks have a seat at the table, then they get taken for everything they’re worth and dumped in a back alley for their trouble.
Legal recourse against other nations that violate our rights: We have that already, again without the U.N. It’s called the United States military –and it’s a lot more effective than a pronouncement from some international courtroom.
As for increasing our national security, only a liberal could think that joining a treaty that requires us to give away secrets and our best technology to foreign nations that may use it against us is a way to secure the country.

The biggest stupidity of this treaty, however, is its granting of taxing authority to a Jamaica-based International Seabed Authority, especially at a time when the U.S. economy is suffering under its third year of recession. To raise taxes now would drive a stake through American businesses and the middle class.

The LOST convention represents a complete violation of the trust voters put in their representatives. Naturally, President Obama is already on board. Conservative voters need to tell their Senators to vote against it and keep LOST from being ratified.

 

I've sung this song, but I'll sing it again,
Of the place that I lived on the wild windy plains,
In the month called April, county called Gray,
And here's what all of the people there say:

So long, it's been good to know yuh;
So long, it's been good to know yuh;
So long, it's been good to know yuh.

From the song So Long, It's Been Good To Know Yuh by Woodie Guthrie.
