OPINION:
The United Nations is planning a September 2024 “Summit of the Future” gathering where heads of state will debate and then adopt a collective plan for global governance, one that if fully implemented, will mean the end of America the free.
Now, more than ever, it’s crucial to elect a president who can effectively fight the peril of globalism. Donald J. Trump, anyone?
On the one hand, this “Summit of the Future” is just the latest in a long, long, endlessly long line of U.N. attempts to steal away American sovereignty. Shoulder shrug; so what’s new; yawn, yawn — that’s at least a little bit true. But on the other hand, consider this: At no other time in history have the globalists had it so good.
America, under brain-dead Joe Biden, has become a frenzied feast for far-leftists who had been thrown off kilter by four years of Donald Trump’s “America First” policies.
Desperate to recoup their losses to all the MAGA cheerers of America, these globalists returned in 2020 with a vengeance to push climate change, coronavirus-tied controls and collectivism-slash-Marxism, i.e., censorship of speech and even thought; social justice rot that destroys law and order; LGBTQ madness that crumbles common sense as well as the family unit; and more. They’ve seen some successes. They’ve become energized by their successes.
But they know time could be short.
They need to solidify their agendas before another Trump — or Trump-like force — takes to the White House once again. They’re watching the polls of the feckless Biden administration, they’re reading the tea leaves — more to the truth, they’re listening to the whisperings of their demons — and they’re seeing a 2024 election that may not go their way.
So it’s go time.
It’s “emergency” declaration time.
In March, the secretary-general of the United Nations wrote, in part, as The Federalist reported, “I propose that the General Assembly provide the secretary-general and the United Nations system with a standing authority to convene and operationalize automatically an emergency platform in the event of a future complex global shock of sufficient scale, severity and reach.”
That platform would hand the United Nations — and specifically, the secretary-general of the United Nations — the power to “promote and drive an international response” to any of these deemed emergencies. And there would be an enforcement provision, as well.
The United Nations would be afforded the power to “ensure all participating actors make commitments that can contribute meaningfully to the response and that they are held to account for delivery on those commitments.”
This is very similar to the powers sought by the World Health Organization a couple years back. In November 2021, WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus chastised governments of the world for failing to work cohesively to fight off the coronavirus, and he suggested his organization might be best equipped to address any future pandemics on a unilateral basis.
“Everybody has seen to what extent we were really disorganized and all have seen the failures of the global system,” he said then, NPR reported.
“We don’t have rules of the game,” Tedros complained. “To manage shared problems, like pandemics, you need laws and rules that bring obligations to countries. That’s what we miss. And I hope countries will agree to a binding pact so that pandemics can be managed better.”
The treaty is still being pushed.
And Biden would no doubt be off and merrily marching toward complete hand-over of U.S. sovereignty on this score to the global health bureaucrats — save for the opposition of Republicans in the Senate, who have the final say on whether or not to ratify treaties.
That’s called too close for comfort, though.
No U.S. president, no matter the political party, should ever consider giving a global entity the authority to control domestic policy or to set the course for national response to any emergency, to any crisis, to any health or military or political battle. That this Biden administration would even consider such an absurd takeover of sovereignty, instead of shutting down all discussions immediately, only shows how deep the leftist influence has dug itself into this present White House.
Now the United Nations wants its piece of the U.S. pie. And if it gets it, goodbye self-governance; so long individualism; see ya later God-given rights.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is a communist. You think during an emergency situation — real or otherwise; truthful or fabricate — that he’d concern himself with the crossing of constitutional boundaries and the crumbling of individual liberties?
“[This] is clearly an effort to empower the secretary-general and the United Nations,” said Brett Schaefer, a senior researcher in International Regulatory Affairs at the Heritage Foundation, to the Daily Caller.
Of course it is.
That’s what the United Nations always does.
It doesn’t mean America has to go along with the game plan, though.
Unfortunately, under this administration, under this president, the United States like never before faces a giveaway of sovereignty and liberty — and time’s a tickin’ to keep these globalists at bay.
The 2024 White House election is crucial in oh so many ways. But perhaps most crucial is the need for America’s next commander-in-chief to make clear, to enemies both foreign and domestic, that this nation, this nation’s resources and this nation’s people are not, and never will be, for sale.
The next president must have the chops to not just fight this globalism. The next White House leader must have the determination, tools, stamina and wiles to win.
