Warning, Muddy Road Ahead

I usually like to deal with fact or opinion. This time I want to look at possibilities. I and others think that our nations sovereignty is in danger. I also think that there are powerful people out there that are in favor of weakening this country to make the balance of power "more fair" throughout the world. I feel that this would be acceptable to both our President and the Secretary of State. There are three areas where items before congress put the nation in jeopardy.

The UN wants to control the Internet. There are meetings coming up that the House Energy and Commerce sub-committee will attend. If control cedes to the UN, nations such as Russia and China will have a huge influence in the way the Internet is run. The government in authoritarian nations would have complete control within their borders. The Internet has always been about freedom. That is the basis of it's success. It must remain free to everyone.

Another dangerous area that the administration is involved with is the "Law of the Sea Treaty". For centuries the rules of the sea have been a matter of agreement among the navies, both military and merchant, of the world. If some country decides to exceed convention, a bigger navy comes to the fore and explains to them the error of their ways. I believe it was in the 1500s that the Dutch tried to control the Indian Ocean. In sweep the British, problem solved. It has worked well ever since. The problem with this treaty is that we hand a large part of our sovereignty over to an international body which would also have the right to tax the United States and use the money as they see fit. And also they would be allowed to control carbon emissions in the US. Bad deal and unnecessary.

Last is the "Arms Control Treaty". The gist of this is that the tracking and record keeping requirements on both firearms and ammunition would be onerous and hugely expensive. I believe it is a step toward the international disarmament of civilians. As guns and ammunition get more expensive the fewer people will be able to afford them. Of course, the poor would be the first to suffer. There is only one reason to disarm honest citizens and it is not public safety. "An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject."

These treaties are still up in the air. But forewarned is forearmed. Watch places like the Drudge report and The Daily Caller. You most likely wont find anything in the main stream media.
