Book Excerpts

America finds herself engaged in two great battles…The first is the war against radical
Islamic jihadism that has been foisted upon us by a brutal enemy…The second is a war for
America’s destiny… Our enemy believes in global government. Their faith is vested in the
United Nations. Their catechism is the UN Charter. Their Maharishi is Kofi Annan.

****

[Our enemies are] the apostles of universal law, adherents of an ideology that would
subordinate the Republic to international government. They are globalists who assemble
under what Henry Cabot Lodge called the “mongrel banner” of utopian ideals. They are Ivory Tower elites and tambourine tappers from the hippie generation who’ve joined forces to chant
evils against Uncle Sam. They preach a false dogma of international equality and have hung
our Constitution on the discount rack.

Here at home, they have captured the Democratic Party and are making in-roads in the
GOP. They are forcing the United States to answer to a higher earthly authority. From trade to
national security to tax policy to the Internet, advocates of universal government want to
make the decisions that will chart America’s future. In some cases, they already are. Whether
we like it or not, we are in a war for America’s destiny.

****

The foundation of international government has already been laid and continues to take
shape…American troops serve under UN command and are targets for international
prosecutors…Kofi Annan declared actions taken in the name of America’s national security
“illegal.” He said permission for the United States to neutralize threats can only be granted by
the UN. “Agreed,” say Democrats in Congress…Today, Congress’s ability to “regulate
commerce with foreign nations” is laughable. That power belongs to the World Trade
Organization (WTO). One adverse ruling from the WTO sends members of Congress
sprinting to their respective chambers to rewrite our laws and regulations. The “Greatest
Deliberative Body in the World” has become a toy for the UN’s dominatrix of global trade.

****

The UN cannot be reformed because it is inherently flawed. We do not want, nor should we seek, a “more effective” United Nations, for its goals are not our own. It has stolen significant
portions of our sovereignty and is gunning for more. It has rewritten portions of our
Constitution and undermined American authority. It has injured our national pride.

****

America’s submission to the International Criminal Court must be a major point of scrutiny in
the candidates’ records in 2008. Most candidates will try to walk a fine line in which they say
we should join the court, but carve out exemptions for U.S. troops. For all the reasons
outlined, that will not suffice. Not only must we completely disavow the International
Criminal Court—beyond even the efforts of the Bush administration—but we must dismantle
it. The day an American is brought before the International Criminal Court, our Constitution
will cease to have meaning.

****

The very idea that the United States belongs to an institution in which we have to encourage
democracy should tell us something about the composition of the UN. Creating a democracy
fund within the UN is like starting an NAACP chapter within the Klan—their memberships
are so corrupt as to not be dignified. “I have given up on any hope of reforming the UN,” Cliff
Kincaid, a long-time UN observer and President of America’s Survival, told me. “I think it is
a failed institution [that] gives people false hopes.”
