The global threat: It isn't 'warming'



Monday, July 10, 2006


American sovereignty is the only defense against the growing call for international taxation. But how much sovereignty is left to defend the republic?

Cliff Kincaid, president of America's Survival Inc., is sounding the alarm (online at http://www.usasurvival.org/index.html ). And it's one of the reasons why bureaucrats are sharpening carving knives and salivating like teething toddlers as the U.N. readies to butcher the world's cash cow -- the American taxpayer.

In "Rethinking Sovereignty," Richard Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations, argues that "states must be prepared to cede some sovereignty to world bodies if the international system is to function."

But exports, imports and treaties indicate it already functions. And "rethinking" implies there was thinking. But America's defenseless border with Mexico that encourages illegal aliens says President George W. Bush doesn't think much of sovereignty.





The more immediate concern is how the federal government functions. By their relative silence, Mr. Bush and Congress encourage U.N. global tax schemes.

And by confessing he factors in foreign laws to decide what is constitutional -- including the "globalization" of human rights -- U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer all but admits there is not enough American sovereignty left to defend against much of anything, let alone global taxes.
We all should be gravely concerned.
