"When the facts are known it is clear to me that anyone who takes an oath of office to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States and then deliberately attempts to subvert the sovereignty and the strategic interest of this nation in favor of those of another government - world order or not - is guilty of, in a word, treason. Think again of the words of Richard Gardner, former deputy assistant secretary of state, that appeared in the CFR journal: 'We are likely to do better by building our "house of world order" from [the] bottom up rather than from the top down . . . an end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, is likely to get us to world order faster than the old fashioned assault.' (Emphasis added.)

"How dare an official (or even a former official) of the United States government set out to erode the sovereignty of the United States piece by piece! How dare a cabal of elected and unelected officials set out to subvert our constitution, our national sovereignty, and our democratic way of life!

"Have any of us been told that the secretaries of state, the secretaries of the treasury, the heads of the CIA, the heads of the National Security Council, the heads of the Federal Reserve Board, and countless others are in agreement that American sovereignty is to be 'eroded piece by piece'? When has there ever been a referendum for all of the people to decide whether they want to discard our Constitution in favor of a one-world government? The clear answer is, 'Never!'"
