Former Chief U.N. Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter Nabbed in Teen Sex Sting
Former chief United Nations weapons inspector Scott Ritter was arrested in a Pennsylvania sex sting in November on a litany of charges involving a lewd Internet conversation with a person he thought was a 15-year-old girl.
Ritter, 48, allegedly masturbated in front of a Web camera while he was engaged in conversation in an Internet chat room with an undercover cop posing as the teenage girl.
I won’t be posting any of the rest of the article. Needless to say, it gets pretty graphic. I have to ask….what is it with the UN and pervs?
The Scam Continues
Document Reveals U.N.’s Goal of Becoming Rule-Maker in Global Environmental Talks
Environmentalism should be regarded on the same level with religion “as the only compelling, value-based narrative available to humanity,” according to a paper written two years ago to influence the future strategy of the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP), the world’s would-be environmental watchdog.
Uh….I beg your pardon???? I don’t bloody well think so!
The purpose of the paper, put together after an unpublicized day-long session in Switzerland by some of the world’s top environmental bureaucrats: to argue for a new and unprecedented effort to move environmental concerns to “the center of political and economic decision-making” around the world — and perhaps not coincidentally, expand the influence and reach of UNEP at the tables of world power, as a rule-maker and potential supervisor of the New Environmental Order.
One of the most useless, corrupt, and feckless organizations on the planet wants control of world political decisions? Once again, I don’t bloody well think so!
Read the report here, and read the whole article. The idea that there are so many ignorant people willing to continue to follow along blindly, even though there is a great deal of evidence to prove the farce, is disconcerting, to say the least. I’m not too sure how many Americans are willing to give up their freedom to the “One World” fascists, but they’re going to have to shoot my sagging old ass, because I will NOT submit.
Glass Houses and Stones
The United Nations is fretting that the United States might be violating human rights by not providing adequate housing. To get to the bottom of the issue, the U.N. Human Rights Council has dispatched Brazilian architect and urban planner Raquel Rolnik, the Special Rapporteur on Adequate Housing, to our shores. We apologize for being unwelcoming hosts, but she should go back from whence she came.
Miss Rolnik’s bureaucratic pity might be better targeted at her native Brazil, where 28.9 percent of the urban population lives in slums, according to the UN-HABITAT Global Urban Indicators database. Or China, where the rate is 32.8 percent. Or Kenya at 54.8 percent, Mozambique at 79.5 percent, or Sierra Leone, where 97 percent of people in cities are slum dwellers.
But instead, the U.N. is expending its limited time and resources on the United States, where the homeless population is a fraction of a percent, three-quarters of people below the poverty line live in homes with two or more bedrooms, and median square feet of living space per person in poverty is 91 percent of the national median, according to the 2007 American Housing Survey. This is not what you would call a human-rights nightmare.
Miss Rolnik’s mission fits well with the Obama administration’s objective to have government intrude on every aspect of American life. She promotes “really thinking out of the box” about housing, particularly by moving away from the American dream of individual homeownership and toward more collective solutions, including “rent schemes, subsidized rent schemes, with public housing, with other types of community development housing, and other types of schemes. And of course, putting more priority on that in the government agenda and take that as a responsibility of the state.”

I have made no secret of my disgust for the United Nations. The concept was a decent one, but the reality is far from decent, in any way, shape or form. It is one of the more corrupt bodies in the world. So, when someone with a socialist agenda comes waltzing into MY country, claiming our poor are so mistreated, I take issue.
Which is likely not to have a roof over their heads? In a report from Heritage Foundation from August 2007, we find: For most Americans, the word “poverty” suggests destitution: an inability to provide a family with nutritious food, clothing, and reasonable shelter. But only a small number of the 37 million persons classified as “poor” by the Census Bureau fit that description. While real material hardship certainly does occur, it is limited in scope and severity. Most of America’s “poor” live in material conditions that would be judged as comfortable or well-off just a few generations ago.
Are there poor in America? No doubt. Do we have a homeless problem? You betcha. Many of those who are homeless, roaming the streets, do so by choice. Many are mentally ill, alcoholics, drug addicts, who do not want to live in government housing. You can’t force someone to take charity who don’t want it. Well, unless you lock the door to prevent them from leaving.
Many have become homeless in recent months due to the ‘housing crisis’, brought about by government intervention. Giving loans to people who could not afford to pay them back is not a good business decision.
Now, before Mzzzzzzzzzzz Rolnik starts casting stones in our direction, perhaps she should take a real good look at her home. The biggest social challenge for the Brazilian government and society is the lack of education, housing, health care and nutrition for the homeless children. Thousands live on the streets, abandoned by parents unable to afford to raise them. These children often abuse drugs, commit crimes and resort to prostitution to survive.

‘Climate Change’ Treaty: The Supreme Law Of The Land? Or Lawless Usurpation?
By Publius Huldah
If President Obama signs a “global warming” treaty at the United Nations’ “Climate Conference” in Copenhagen this December; and if the U.S. Senate ratifies it, will it become part of the supreme Law of the Land?
We hear it said that whenever the President signs, and the Senate ratifies, a Treaty, it becomes part of “the supreme law of the land”. But is that True? Not necessarily! Walk with me, and I will show you how to think through this question, and how to analyze other constitutional questions which come your way.
You must always ask: Is this authorized in the Constitution? Where exactly in the Constitution? And precisely what is authorized by the Constitution? Let us start at the beginning:
Dictators Stand Together
An Apology
I, as a natural born citizen of the United States of America, would like to offer my most sincere, and heartfelt, apology to the people of the State of Israel for the current occupant of the Oval Office. I would like you to know that I, and many millions of others, in NO way support his words or actions, especially when it comes to your country.
I am embarrassed that 52% of the American voters felt that this incompetent child would be a good idea as President of the United States.

Gun-Grabbers Undermine U.S. Sovereignty
Gun-grabbers invariably argue that such proposals will diminish the ability of criminals to use firearms in the perpetration of criminal acts. They seem not to have gotten through their thick heads that criminals who by definition do not obey laws prohibiting crime are not dissuaded by laws against gun possession or use. In fact, as John R. Lott documented in his book, More Guns Less Crime, laws that facilitate citizen access to firearms correlate with rates of reduction in crimes of violence. What a surprise: Criminals don’t want to face armed citizens!
Many lives have been saved by an law abiding ARMED citizen. Less guns on the streets does not equate less crime. These are criminals we’re talking about here, they will find a way to get weapons, illegally! They don’t give a flip about laws. If they did, they wouldn’t be criminals now, would they! The first line of defense is an armed citizenry! People willing, and able, to stand up against tyranny.
Amendment II
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
It is my opinion, this should have been the FIRST amendment in the Bill of Rights, because without our right to bears arms, we will have no other rights to uphold. They can quite easily continue the erosion of all the others, which we’ve already seen in happening with the 1st Amendment.
Gun-grabbers for some time have worked assiduously to induce the United States to sign a treaty that would curtail drastically Americans’ gun rights. So far, the United States has avoided taking such a drastic, unconstitutional step. But the Obama Administration could well bring a reversal of policy. Obama may want to do an end run around American gun owners by signing such an international agreement and subverting citizen rights in that way. The administration propaganda nonsense that the Mexican drug wars are fueled with American firearms could be a prelude to such a program.
Do we really want our sovereignty as a nation diminished? I don’t live in a One World mind set, and neither should anyone else. Do we care about the rest of the world? Well, yes, we do….to an extent. But if you have watched events around the world, do you really want to be like them? Like Great Britain, where competition shooters have to leave their homes, just to practice? Do we want to be overrun by drug lords, like Mexico? Will we allow a dictator, like Chavez? If this is the same America I remember, then the answer will be, not just no….BUT HELL NO!
The gun-grabbers are seeking to promote and implement a 2001 UN resolution calling for a Program of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects.
Supporters of the program have been trying to neutralize American opposition by alleging that the program and its supporters contemplate action against only “illegal” or “illicit” guns or military-style firearms.
The fact that the Useless Numnuts are involved should be the first LARGE red flag! We’ve seen how effective they are in curtailing anything! /snark The biggest problem here, the UN does not want lawful citizens armed, to defend themselves, their families, their homes, their nation. An unarmed populace are much easier to control. Well, I don’t need to be controlled, and neither do you. Well, most of you don’t. Some should be put in straight jackets, but that’s another issue.
The program demands the adoption and implementation, “in the states that have not already done so, of the necessary legislative measures to establish as criminal offenses under their domestic law the illegal manufacture, possession, stockpiling and trade of small arms and light weapons within their areas of jurisdiction, in order to ensure that those engaged in such activities can be prosecuted under appropriate national penal codes.”
We already have laws in place to deal with this problem. We do not need a body of useless tinpot dictators to force their views on us.
A prime mover behind the program is the International Action Network on Small Arms (IANSA). It defines small arms as “weapons that can be carried and used by an individual, for example, revolvers, pistols, rifles, shotguns, submachine guns and assault rifles.”
I have a few of those little ‘weapons that can be carried and used’. And if push comes to shove, I WILL use them! I am not a criminal. I won’t say I’ve never broken the law. I had a wild youth. But during my wild time, I never, EVER, carried any weapons, or even owned any. Why should I, as a law abiding person, be left basically helpless because some asswipe in Europe wants to control the world? Why should you? Many countries in Europe imposed gun bans before WWII, and the citizens were left defenseless. We know what the results were then. Other nations have imposed such bans. The results are not pretty. Do we want a repeat of history? It’s bad enough we are forced to register any personal firearms, because with registration, they can easily come to your door, to forcefully take your guns.

Parental Rights
In a move that would devastate our nation even further, Barack Hussein Obama may sign on to give the United Nations, aka Useless Numnuts, sovereignty over OUR children.
From the Preamble of Convention on the Rights of the Child:
Bearing in mind that, as indicated in the Declaration of the Rights of the Child, “the child, by reason of his physical and mental immaturity, needs special safeguards and care, including appropriate legal protection, before as well as after birth”,
And a few other tidbits:
Article 2-2 States Parties shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that the child is protected against all forms of discrimination or punishment on the basis of the status, activities, expressed opinions, or beliefs of the child’s parents, legal guardians, or family members.
Article 3-3 States Parties shall ensure that the institutions, services and facilities responsible for the care or protection of children shall conform with the standards established by competent authorities, particularly in the areas of safety, health, in the number and suitability of their staff, as well as competent supervision.
Article 4 States Parties shall undertake all appropriate legislative, administrative, and other measures for the implementation of the rights recognized in the present Convention. With regard to economic, social and cultural rights, States Parties shall undertake such measures to the maximum extent of their available resources and, where needed, within the framework of international co-operation.
Well, I would suggest you read the entire thing. It’s quite an eye opener! But here are a few highlights:
* Parents would no longer be able to administer reasonable spankings to their children.
* A murderer aged 17 years, 11 months and 29 days at the time of his crime could no longer be sentenced to life in prison.
* Children would have the ability to choose their own religion while parents would only have the authority to give their children advice about religion.
* The best interest of the child principle would give the government the ability to override every decision made by every parent if a government worker disagreed with the parent’s decision.
* A child’s “right to be heard” would allow him (or her) to seek governmental review of every parental decision with which the child disagreed.
* According to existing interpretation, it would be illegal for a nation to spend more on national defense than it does on children’s welfare.
* Children would acquire a legally enforceable right to leisure.
* Teaching children about Christianity in schools has been held to be out of compliance with the CRC.
* Allowing parents to opt their children out of sex education has been held to be out of compliance with the CRC.
* Children would have the right to reproductive health information and services, including abortions, without parental knowledge or consent.
Instead of pulling out of the UN, as we should have done a LONG time ago, B. Hussein Obama is looking to exchange the rights of American parents for a “higher level of presence” in that bastion of democracy and freedom. (please insert extreme amount of sarcasm)
It’s quite frightening to know that there are some legislators who feel the threat is so great that we actually need an Amendment to our Constitution to protect the rights of the parents over the wants of the UN. H.J. Res. 42 was introduced 3/31/09 by Rep. Peter Hoekstra [R-MI].
Article–
‘Section 1. The liberty of parents to direct the upbringing and education of their children is a fundamental right.
‘Section 2. Neither the United States nor any State shall infringe upon this right without demonstrating that its governmental interest as applied to the person is of the highest order and not otherwise served.
‘Section 3. No treaty may be adopted nor shall any source of international law be employed to supersede, modify, interpret, or apply to the rights guaranteed by this article.’.
There are 70 cosponsors of this important bill, yet NOT ONE SINGLE DEMOCRAT seems to have signed on to protect your rights as a parent.
For more information, and to get involved go to Parental Rights. I would also suggest, if your representative is not listed in the cosponsors, that you contact him/her as soon as possible, and urge them to sign on, and stand up for the rights of the American parents!

Israel Security Cabinet Approves Cease-Fire in Gaza as Olmert Says Objectives Achieved
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert announced Saturday, folllwing a Security Cabinent vote in favor of a cease-fire, said that the goals of Israel’s offensive in Gaza had been achieved.
Israel has no immediate plans to withdraw troops from Gaza, but the cease-fire likely will entail the end of Israeli attacks on Hamas now that the militant Palestinian group appears to have been disabled to the point that there is less of a threat of rocket attacks on southern Israel.
U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said Saturday that a unilateral cease-fire should be accompanied by a timetable for withdrawal, and a Hamas spokesman said the group would not stop fighting until Israel is out of Gaza.
Has Hamas been totally destroyed, never to darken Israel’s door again? Will Gilad Shalid be returned to his family, unharmed? If not, then what the hell are they talking about? Ban is a moron, and so is anyone else who caves into the crap.
