The Law of the Sea Treaty, which has been ratified by just about every other country in the world but the United States, is currently making its way through the Senate. Here is a rule of thumb…if everybody else wants it so badly, its got to be bad for the United States. This treaty is no exception to the rule. As in all things Obama, don’t listen to what he says, look at what he does. In typical Orwellian style, he is calling black-white, up-down, and day-night.
Open shipping lanes has been international law for hundreds of years. Right now, it is the United States that polices those shipping lanes. Under this treaty, the United States would cede its enforcement rights to the United Nations. Really? Under the treaty, the best interests of the United States would be reduced to one vote in a committee in which Iran and Venezuela might be sitting. Why would we do this? To add insult to injury, the cost of the enforcement would remain squarely with the United States.
In addition, there would be a 1 – 8% royalty fee on any oil drilled by the United States outside of the current 200 mile territorial limit to be paid to the United Nations.
In addition, the treaty would cede the right to regulate oceanic environment concerns to an international tribunal in Germany. This includes atmospheric conditions…you get the picture. It is a back door global warming treaty which would actually give this commission authority over out power plants. And the decisions of the commission will be non-appealable in United States courts.
This is what the Obama administration wants. This is what progressive globalists think about you and our country. This makes Jimmy Carter’s giving away the Panama Canal look like a walk in the park. This, my friends, is dangerous.
This is just one of many of these treaties floating around Washington right now, pushed by Obama and his cronies. Do you agree with this?
Folks, once it’s done, it can’t be taken back. Do you agree with this?
