Thread: Will Rudy Help Sink the U.N. Sea Treaty?

The U.N. Law of the Sea Treaty could come up for a vote in the Senate at any time, yet the public has very little knowledge about it – and the treaty would severely cripple U.S. sovereignty. FSM Contributing Editor Cliff Kincaid wonders: could Rudy Giuliani be the torpedo we need to sink it?

Will Rudy Help Sink the U.N. Sea Treaty?
By Cliff Kincaid

As someone who covered the Senate Foreign Relations Committee’s consideration of the U.N.’s Law of the Sea Treaty, I have to report that the experience has been an ugly one. Our major media have been intentionally AWOL from the debate, aiding and abetting the liberal scheme to quickly ratify the dangerous measure. If they had attended and covered the hearings, they would have reported that committee chairman Senator Joseph Biden and his Republican sidekick, the hapless Senator Richard Lugar of Indiana, have done their best to keep information about the major flaws in this treaty away from public view. The treaty gives the U.N. unprecedented power over our domestic and economic policies and relations with foreign countries. It creates tribunals and courts to dictate our conduct on the high seas and an International Seabed Authority to govern access to oil, gas and minerals.

On a matter as momentous as a treaty, which becomes the Supreme Law of the Land when ratified, Biden, Lugar & Company and the major media have collaborated to conceal vital information from the American people. But there is still time to avert a major catastrophe for the nation.

Despite the 17-4 vote in favor of the treaty in the committee, Senate Republican leaders have vowed to stop it on the Senate floor.

In a major surprise, Biden actually showed up for Wednesday’s committee vote and didn’t submit a proxy ballot; he had skipped the only two hearings on the treaty which were held, asking other Democrats to fill in as chairman. The witnesses in those hearings had been stacked 9-2 in favor. A day before the committee vote, Biden pulled off what he thought was a zinger during the Democratic presidential debate when he said about Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani that “there’s only three things he mentions in a sentence: a noun and a verb and 9/11.â€

He better vote against it and everyone else in that Senate as well.

The Senators who did vote for this underhanded treaty should resign from the United States Senate and go work for the U.N. for a foreign government as well. They are definately not American in my eyes.
