U.S. Sovereignty Threatened by U.N. Treaty, Critics Charge

When will we wake up and stop accepting the United Nations as having
dominion over our sovereignty. They are not a part of our three branches
of government. Most of the money that runs the UN comes from the American
taxpayers, not the third world anti-American bottom-feeders running it.
The UN is on occupied territory in Manhattan.

We need to STOP THE OCCUPATION. Now they want to
create the "UN International Seabed Authority". You can't imagine how
dangerous this is for future naval and counter terrorism operations on the high
seas. Below is a great article from NewsMax regarding this pending crisis.

The U.S. is poised to turn much of its authority on the high seas over to international arbiters by ratifying a long-controversial United Nations sea treaty.

Approval of the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), a 25-year-old international treaty regulating use of the world’s oceans, is steaming full speed ahead in the Senate, where committee hearings are set to begin Sept. 27.

The full Senate is likely to ratify the treaty -- which would link U.S. naval actions to those of 155 other member nations -- by year's end.

For decades, critics have derided the 182-page Law of the Sea pact as a threat to U.S. sovereignty and naval independence.

They add that it would create a massive new U.N. bureaucracy (the International Seabed Authority); would give environmentalists a back door to greater regulation; and would hinder the U.S. military's efforts to capture terrorists on the high seas. CONTINUED
