"LOOK BEHIND YOU, IT'S GAINING
------------------------------
By C. Grady Drago
Satchel Page, when asked about his secrete of youth is
credited with saying "don't look back, it may be gaining." Of
course he was saying not to let triviality absorb your energies.
Unfortunately, in America today we can not live by this credo
because the forces that have been at work for the past 50 years
are continuing chip away at our individual and states by
centralizing more and more power in Washington. Of particular
interest for this writing are our personal property rights, which
have been the particular target of the environmental lobbyists and
their liberal friends. Their bad science is being used in scare
tactics in the name of protecting the environment from unforeseen
and unproven threats. Of course as long as the threat remains in
the future, they can continue raising money and pushing for the
strong armed enforcement of new regulations. Now, however, many
public organizations made their concerns known and the new
leadership in Congress, along with many members of the Democratic
party, have become aware of these dangerous liberal programs and
are taking legislative action to reverse this dangerous threat.
They will replace bad science and anarchy with good science, common
sense, and the law. The So now, through the back door, comes the
newest threat to our rights, lifestyles, and economic growth.
Article VI, Section 2 of the Constitution states in part "...and
all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of
the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the
judges in every State shall be bound thereby, anything in the
Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary
notwithstanding." Keep this thought.
At the 1992 Earth Summit (the U.N.'s Conference on The Environment)
it wasn't global warming (ten years before it was global cooling)
nor Agenda 21 that was the central focus of the liberal
environmental movement, it was the approval and acceptance of the
Convention on Biological Diversity - the Biodiversity Treaty. The
eco-liberals were successful. President Bush refused to sign the
treaty. Unfortunately, President Clinton, knowing exactly what it
was signed it. To the glee of the liberal environmental lobbyists,
Vice President Gore, the treaty was being quickly through the
liberal controlled Senate toward ratification. It would have
happened had not been for a handful of conservation organizations
and individuals. All they did was point out the specifics of what
the wonderful sounding language in the treaty actually meant - the
potential to transform Western Civilization into a socialist New
World Order where animals and plant had more rights than humans. It
requires humans to treat nature as sacred; the reduction of human
population to 1-2 billion, or the reduction of standard of living
to an "agrarian peasant status;" gives social/eco groups legal
standing to police conformity to treaty; assigns property rights
to the U.N.'s Global Environmental Facility; and establishes a
feudal communal form of social structure within "bio-regions" among
other things.
The treaty is still pending before the Senate and the eco-liberal
movement is alive and well. This treaty should be a focal point of
public debate (which the Institute will pursue) and the American
pulic should be told exactly what this treaty does, how it does
it, and who is supporting it.
