Keep harping, Seth, even if you are the male version of Cassandra.

The NAU, a global taxation system. I get a sinking feeling that these one-worlders are going to get their way--their dream of utopia. And utopias are always failures.

I think we all feel like Cassandra sometimes and no one is listening.

Don't get me started on the various shifty ways the UN is trying to get it's hands deeper into American pockets. It's Monday and I don't want to raise my blood pressure this early in the week.

It suffices to say that Republicans are at least on to the game the UN is playing whereby they hope to fund their one world socialist fantasy by sucking the life out of the goose that lays the golden eggs and pulls the worlds economic train down the tracks (oops... metaphor overdose).

It's a shame that even with all the revelations of UN financial scandal unearthed in the past few years we don't find Democrats as eager to confront the UN problem.

Maybe Nancy Pelosi will change that (yeah, right).

AOW --

We have, for too many years, been trying to keep the UN happy in too many ways there's nary a peep about in the MSM.

The more global committees we allow to collect funds from us and draw us in, participation-wise, the more machinery there will be in place when all this B.S. ceases to be merely stealth issues, and when it's too late for anybody to do anything.

Look at Europe: How easy would it be for one of those countries to simply back out of the EU?

Mike's America --

Nancy Pelosi, good little socialist that she is, would undoubtedly immerse herself in becoming part of the problem. After all, the left seems to believe that we need to consult the U.N. before we do anything -- WWUND?

Like most extremely rich leftists, she is a serious hypocrite -- she'll have no problem allowing some world body to leverage outrageously high taxes on us, since her own money will be well shielded, anyway, or to impose liberty-restrictive laws that apply to the U.S. taxpayer, the same freedoms the liberals have been trying to take away to begin with, such as 2nd Amendment rights.

Hand-in-hand with an already proven effective propaganda machine like the MSM, she and the rest of her ilk would hand up our liberty and the lion's share of our incomes on a platter.

The NHF is a fringe group, so I really can't sort out their spin. Scientific truth crosses national boundaries, so I'm not concerned about international scientific study about nutrition - it's the political implementation (or imposition) of the data that concerns me.

Nonetheless, it is certainly true that U.N. agencies (and other one-world interests) have been trying to impose their agendas on the U.S., and we need to maintain vigilence when they cross the line, as your second article indicates is the case with OECD. But this sort of stuff has been going on for years, in fact since the founding of the U.N.

It's certainly worth monitoring and noting these matters on their own merits, but I'd be leary of trying to tie this too closely with NAU: correlation does not imply causality; congruent goals does not demonstrate conspiracy (the logical error of guilt by association).

Civil Truth --

I believe that this goes beyond the concept of the NAU -- the NAU is intended, in the final analysis, to be merely a component of a global legislative assembly.

The NHF, among other multinational "congresses", as it were, is simply another cooperative "tie" to aid in binding principal governments together in ventures that, combined, will eventually ease us into a collective.

The U.S., besides being the ultimate military power in today's world, is also a commercial dynamo whose financial assets and capabilities are unparalleled by any other country, or even group of countries.

Where the "big thinkers" are erring is in their efforts to herd us into their global collective and impose upon us the selfsame socialist values that render them less potent than we are -- they fail to understand that it is the very nature of our existence as a capitalist republic that makes us the global asset that we are.

Should we succumb to the influence of these "one world government" thinkers, we will become as economically obsolete as the EU.
