Below is a response I sent to someone who asked some very good questions about my position. I have reprinted it here for all. As always I invite any and all comments. David, You ask what proof I have that the federal government and the UN are trying to take away our rights as American citizens. The proof about the federal government is easy to come by both with direct evidence and some more "philosophical" beliefs on my own part. First of all, the Brady law that was passed early this year is a ban on certain things (i.e. guns) that certain administrations and courts for years past say were constitutionally protected. I personally do not own an assault weapon, but I find it unbelievable that the government of the US would pass a law to limit the ownership of any weapon. I defy anyone to tell me that a person who has never committed a crime, who buys a weapon legally from a gun shop, and registers it would commonly commit a violent crime with it. Purchasing a gun in and of itself does not make a someone a criminal. I am sure you realize this so I will not go on about it. The Brady law alone does constitute an intrusion on ever persons rights in this country whether they do now, or ever will own a weapon of any kind. I say this because, now they cannot get these weapons. Did you ever think in you wildest dreams that our government would start to chip away at the Bill of Rights? This is what has happened this year. So my view of weapon laws are not specific to the law, but more conceptual. Secondly, the Bill of Rights guarantees rights, it does tell the government what the people of this country cannot do, it says what they may do. The fifth amendment states that, "No person shall be held to answer for a capital or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment of an indictment of a Grand Jury..." This amendment does not say that the government can indict someone using a grand jury it guarantees that you will not be subject to arbitrary or summary judgments without the government meeting its burden of proof. Likewise, the constitution does not specifically state that the right to bear arms is restricted to muzzle loading weapons, or non-assault "style" weapons, or weapons which at some point in time are considered to scary for the general public to have, or weapons that a crack cocaine dealer might use to protect his useless existence. My point is (and you probably wondered when I might arrive at it), that any reduction or "modification" of the literal meaning of what is painfully plain to me is dangerous to our life as we know it. To decide if the government is taking away our rights and to make the leap that this means this is a prelude to a UN takeover you need to ask yourself a question or two. First of all when will you really know if the federal government and the establishment is allowing the UN to take over more control of this country. The answer is likely that the average citizen will not ever realize it, even if the Norwegian army is patrolling Main Street in your local community. I suppose you have to look at several events and conclude that it is now possible and maybe even likely that the US will submit more and more to the will of the UN. You might say to yourself that the US has a great deal of influence and control over the UN and that we can veto anything as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, and this is true. However, the governments we have had will benefit from what some term the introduction of the New World Order. These people who are already the richest in the world will become even richer. They are members of the elite groups such as the Council on Foreign Relations, a liberal think tank that advocates the elimination of geographical borders and the establishment of a world government and the Trilateral Commission founded by some of the richest men in the world to eliminate all economic borders. Once these two borders are destroyed what is left? The members of these groups include people at all levels of the government, media, and corporate America, and when I say all levels I mean the CEOs of the top five companies in the world, former president of the US, owners of the television networks and major newspapers (including the New York Times, Time Magazine, and The Washington Post). Every Secretary of State and almost every ambassador to the UN since Truman was president has been a member of one of these two groups. So does our veto in the Security Council protect the citizens of this country or does it only ensure that someday all that we fear might happen actually will? The second thing you need to ask is what needs to take place in order for the country to be taken over by the UN? Three things are generally accepted as what must happen in order for a population to be seized without a great deal of time or actual fighting (what the military terms counter insurgency), and the non-violent way is the only way the NWO folks see this working in the initial phases of a takeover. For a counter insurgency to work the government must do the following: 1) Register the population 2) Control the economy and the money supply of the country 3) Disarm the population These are the most basic elements and we should examine how possible it is that they have happened or might someday happen. Registering the population is an important element because it lets those taking over know where you are at all times, the registration will work because unless you are registered you cannot get a job, open a bank account, or receive any other benefits. Now, has this happened? You Social Security Card registers you in this country, and you cannot do any of the above mentioned things without giving them "your number." Be very wary of any attempts to automate this registration process further (i.e., the Health Security Card, debit cards, or any kind of Federal ID cards). So I think we can safely assume that the first requirement has been or is well on its way of being met. Controlling the economy and ultimately the money supply is a done deal. If you don't think so watch CNBC and see how the Fed controls the money supply on a daily basis. If you would like to elaborate more on this just let me know. The third and perhaps the most important and in many ways most difficult step for the US, is to disarm the public. Citizens who cannot fight back will surely fall quickly and easily. The need for an easy defeat or no fight at all is because any use of the US Army to help the UN (and I will cover that in a moment) will need to be non-violent. The elite realize that the US Army will not kill its own people for very long without starting lose its appetite for the battle. Many people ask, as you have are we more free because we have weapons and why do we make such a big deal about the second amendment, and people further state, why do we even need guns in our homes? The first thing I will say to you is that if the first steps toward a takeover have already occurred, then we can only protect what little we have left. We have the right to bear arms because our history is unique in this country, we rose out of struggle and we will continue to struggle to preserve the republic it is our nature and it is good. At the conclusion of the original Constitutional Convention, Benjamin Franklin was asked, "what have you wrought?" He simply answered, "a republic, if you can keep it." The Declaration of Independence was the Promise, the Bill of Rights was the fulfillment, and the Second Amendment is the ultimate insurance policy for the people of this country. I will say simply that the people of this country have more liberties because of the Bill of Rights, not just the Second Amendment. However, to eliminate or reduce any of these rights will surely destroy them all. Finally, you ask about the US Army taking on the citizens of this country. I think this is much too simplistic and would turn too many stomachs. I think that the US Army would be involved, but in a limited way. I think we will see state & local police forces under the command of the Department of Justice doing most of the dirty. And yes, I think that if it came down to a shooting war, we would see many foreign troops introduced into the country to eradicate the problem. I do not think there are organized foreign troops of any significant size in our country currently, although make no mistake the US military is training soldiers from all over the world at our military posts being paid for with your tax dollars, I have trained with them. I hope this clears some things up for you David, thank for writing and keep in touch. ------------------------------------------------ (This file was found elsewhere on the Internet and uploaded to the Radio Free Michigan archives by the archive maintainer.
