BARAK OBAMA & THE UN’s DRIVE FOR GLOBAL GOVERNANCE

Senator Barack Obama has introduced a dangerous bill and it’s on the fast track to Senate passage, probably because of his high profile position as the expected Democrat presidential nominee. Obama hasn’t done much legislatively in his freshman Senate term, but this one is very telling about what we can expect from a President Obama.

The bill is the “Global Poverty Act” (S.2433) and is not just a compassionate bit of fluff that Obama dreamed up to help the poor of the world. This bill is directly tied to the United Nations and serves as little more than a shakedown of American taxpayers in a massive wealth redistribution scheme. In fact, if passed, The Global Poverty Act will provide the United Nations with 0.7% of the United States gross national product. Estimates are that it will add up to at least $845 billion of taxpayer money for welfare to third world countries, in addition to the $300 billion Americans spent for the same thing in 2006.

The situation is urgent because the Global Poverty Act has already passed the House of Representatives by a unanimous voice vote on September 25, 2007. The senate version has been passed out of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee by unanimous consent and ready for a full Senate vote.

Of course the United States has had an ongoing program of supplying foreign aid and assistance to the poor for decades. And the U.S. pays most of the bills at the UN for its herd of programs. So what’s new about Obama’s bill, and why is it dangerous?

Some history that led up to the Global Poverty Act. In 1999 and 2000 non-governmental organizations, NGOs held numerous meetings around the world to write what became known as the Charter for Global Democracy. The document was prepared to be a blueprint for achieving global governance. In reality it was a charter for the abolition of individual freedom, national sovereignty and limited government.

The Charter for Global Democracy outlined its goals in 12 detailed “principles”:

Principle One called for the consolidation of all international agencies under the direct authority of the UN.

Principle Two called for UN regulation of all transnational corporations and financial institutions, requiring an “international code of conduct” concerning the environment and labor standards.

Principle Three explored various schemes to create independent revenue sources for the UN – meaning UN taxes including fees on all international monetary transactions, taxes on aircraft flights in the skies, and on shipping fuels, and licensing of what the UN called the “global commons,” meaning use of air, water and natural resources. The Law of the Sea Treaty fits this category.

Sen. Barack Obama has promised “change,” and his campaign has already been hard at work changing one of the basic symbols of the nation – the Presidential Seal.

On Friday, the press was abuzz over the new seal, which was unveiled on Obama’s podium when he spoke to a group of Democratic governors.

While the Obama seal does include the American bald eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch, the resemblance ends there.

The Latin phrase “E Pluribus Unum,” which translates to “Out of many, one,” now says “Vero Possumus.” Press reports translate the Latin words as “Truly, we are able” – a rough translation of the Obama campaign slogan, “Yes we can.”

The deletion of “E Pluribus Unum,” long considered the de-facto motto of the United States, is not accidental for multiculturalists, who have long denigrated the concept that immigrants must strip away their old culture in favor of the “oneness” of American civilization. In the 1990s, such activists promoted the alternative concept of the nation’s ethnic “mosaic” – rather than a single, overarching metaphor to describe American society. For example, Nation of Islam Leader Louis Farrakhan has pointedly criticized the “E Pluribus Unum” motto as not reflecting the nation’s diversity.

Other Obama changes to the seal include the removal of the shield over the eagle’s breast, representing the president’s oath to defend the Constitution. The shield has been replaced with the letter “O” – presumably for Obama – and the image of a rising sun.

“This is too serious a contest about too serious of issues for a candidate to be playing make-believe on the trail,” Brian Rogers, a spokesman for presumptive Republican nominee Sen. John McCain, told The Los Angeles Times.

1.) Selma Got Me Born – NOT EXACTLY, your parents felt safe enough to have you in 1961 – Selma had no effect on your birth, as Selma was in 1965. (Google ‘Obama Selma’ for his full March 4, 2007 speech and articles about its various untruths.)

2.) Father Was A Goat Herder – NOT EXACTLY, he was a privileged, well educated youth, who went on to work with the Kenyan Government.

3.) Father Was A Proud Freedom Fighter – NOT EXACTLY, he was part of one of the most corrupt and violent governments Kenya has ever had.

4.) My Family Has Strong Ties To African Freedom – NOT EXACTLY, your cousin Raila Odinga has created mass violence in attempting to overturn a legitimate election in 2007, in Kenya. It is the first widespread violence in decades. The current government is pro-American but Odinga wants to overthrow it and establish Muslim Sharia law. Your half-brother, Abongo Obama, is Odinga’s follower. You interrupted your New Hampshire campaigning to speak to Odinga on the phone. Check out the following link for verification of that….and for more. Obama’s cousin Odinga in Kenya ran for president and tried to get Sharia muslim law in place there. When Odinga lost the elections, his followers burned Christians’ homes and then burned men, women and children alive in a Christian church where they took shelter.. Obama SUPPORTED his cousin before the election process here started. Google Obama and Odinga and see what you get. No one wants to know the truth.

5.) My Grandmother Has Always Been A Christian – NOT EXACTLY, she does her daily Salat prayers at 5am according to her own interviews. Not to mention, Christianity wouldn’t allow her to have been one of 14 wives to one man.

6.) My Name is African Swahili – NOT EXACTLY, your name is Arabic and ‘Baraka’ (from which Barack came) means ‘blessed’ in that language. Hussein is also Arabic and so is Obama. Barack Hussein Obama is not half black. If elected, he would be the first Arab-American President, not the first black President. Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother’s side and 43. 75% Arabic and 6.25% African Negro from his father’s side. While Barack Hussein Obama’s father was from Kenya, his father’s family was mainly Arabs.. Barack Hussein Obama’s father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab (his father’s birth certificate even states he’s Arab, not African Negro). From….and for more….go to…..

Kristoff from the New York Times a year ago: Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.” This is just one example of what Pamela is talking about when she says “Obama’s narrative is being altered, enhanced and manipulated to whitewash troubling facts.”

9.) I Was Fluent In Indonesian – NOT EXACTLY, not one teacher says you could speak the language.

10.) Because I Lived In Indonesia, I Have More Foreign Experience – NOT EXACTLY, you were there from the ages of 6 to 10, and couldn’t even speak the language. What did you learn, how to study the Koran and watch cartoons.

Obama Pledges To Fulfill Prophecy, Turn US Into Sodom & Gomorrah, Repeal
Defense Of Marriage Act, Legalizing Gay Marriage Nationwide

Dem Senators Divided on Obama’s Call for Repealing Defense of Marriage Act*

On the Spot (CNSNews.com) – A sampling of Senate Democrats expressed
sharply divergent views yesterday on whether they would support Sen.
Barack Obama’s (D-Ill.) call to “fully repeal” the Defense of Marriage
Act (DOMA), which in the wake of this week’s California Supreme Court
decision legalizing same-sex marriage as well as a similar 2003 decision
by the high court of Massachusetts, would have the effect of legalizing
same-sex marriage nationwide.

Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-Calif.) said she would support Obama’s position,
while Sens. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) and Thomas Carper (D-Del.) said they
would not. Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) expressed surprise that Obama
had taken a position in favor of full repeal of DOMA.

The Defense of Marriage Act, signed into law by President Clinton in
1996, protects states from having to recognize same-sex marriages
contracted in other states. Ordinarily, under the “Full Faith and Credit
Clause” of the Constitution, states are required to recognize “the
public Acts, Records and judicial Proceedings of every other State.”

“Obama also believes we need to fully repeal the Defense of Marriage Act
and enact legislation that would ensure that the 1,100+ federal legal
rights and benefits currently provided on the basis of marital status
are extended to same-sex couples in civil unions and other legally
recognized unions,” his campaign Web site says.

Obama has emerged as the likely Democratic presidential nominee, and
California has become the second state where the local Supreme Court has
decreed a right to same-sex marriage.

When Cybercast News Service asked Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.), who has been
a vocal supporter of the Obama campaign, if he could support Obama in an
attempt to repeal DOMA, Nelson said that he could not. “No. I support
the Defense of Marriage Act, period,” he said.

Sen. Thomas Carper (D-Del.) also told Cybercast News Service that he
would not support the repeal of DOMA. “I don’t believe so,” he said.
“When I was governor of my state, we passed our own Defense of Marriage
Act, which essentially said that while we respect the civil unions of
those of the same sex, we believe that marriage is something that occurs
and should occur between a man and a woman. That’s the law we adopted
when I was governor, and I am not anxious to see that pushed aside.”

Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), who is from one of the two states where
same-sex marriage has been declared a right, told Cybercast News Service
that she was not aware of Obama’s call to repeal DOMA. “I have not
talked to Sen. Obama about that. I have not heard anything about that,”
she said. “I did not vote for DOMA in the first place. I voted against
it, and I don’t know anything about this.”

Boxer also asked Cybercast News Service to provide her staff with proof
that Obama holds this position. “I would like to see it,” she said. “I
would be very interested in seeing it. Please provide me with the
documentation.”

Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.) also told Cybercast News Service he was
unaware of Obama’s position on DOMA. “I haven’t heard him say that,” he
said.

Only Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said she would support Obama in
such a plan. “Yes, I would,” she said.

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old Texas rancher, whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama and his bid to be our President.

The old rancher said, “Well, ya know, Obama is a ‘post turtle’.’ Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a ‘post turtle’ was.

The old rancher said, “When you’re driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that’s a ‘post turtle’.”

The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor’s face, so he continued to explain. “You know he didn’t get up there by himself, he doesn’t belong up there, he doesn’t know what to do while he is up there, and you just wonder what kind of dumb idiot put him up there!’

How Obama can say he had no idea Wright believed certain things or that he (Obama) disagrees with his Pastor’s words, is beyond me. Did he or did he not attend this church for 20 years? Was Wright his mentor and counsellor or was he not? I have been attending the same church for seven years and I know my Pastor’s style, beliefs and disbeliefs. All this after seven years! Therefore, I find it all hard to believe that Wright’s comments in his sermons and now the “defense of black church traditions” has not had some effect on Obama! Come on people! Are we not intelligent human beings? Do we not have brains? Are we so blinded by the liberal media that we cannot see a wolf in sheep’s clothing?
