Subj: Buchanan was right.
Buchanan's right on the New World Order
by D.L. Cuddy
*********************
The press smear against Pat Buchanan recently reached its
height when columnist Charles Krauthammer ridiculed his
defending Americans against the "New World Order." Buchanan's
belief that the power elite are moving us toward a world
government is dismissed as a "fanatic plot." But there is
plenty of evidence that we should take this threat seriously.
President Clinton and several of his appointees support the
goal of establishing a world government.
Clinton administration appointee Strobe Talbot wrote four
years ago in Time magazine that "perhaps national sovereignty
wasn't such a great idea after all" and that "the case for
world government" was "clinched." For this article, the now
State Department official won the World Federalist Associat-
ion's Norman Cousins Global Governance Award. When President
Clinton congratulated Talbot on the award in a letter, he
noted that the World Federalist Association worked for
"world peace and world government" and wished the organization
"future success."
Clinton's ambassador to Spain and former campaign adviser on
United Nations matters, Richard Gardner, has outlined the
strategy for pursuing world government."[A]n end run around
national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomp-
lish much more than the old-fashioned frontal assault," he
wrote in a 1974 article for Foreign Affairs. He added the "We
will be seeking new rules in the GATT. ...These will subject
countries to an unprecedented degree of international
surveillance over up to now sacrosanct 'domestic' policies.
Before he became a Clinton assistant secretary of state,
Winston Lord said in a 1992 speech that "To a certain extent,
we are going to have to yield some of our sovereignty, which
will be controversial at home..."
Some of ceding of national sovereignty has occurred. Article
XVI of the new World Trade Organization states that "Each
member shall ensure the conformity of it's laws, regulations,
and administrative procedures with its obligations." Buchanan
fight against such conformity, especially if it means an unfair
practice like forcing American workers to compete with Chinese
slave labor.
Buchanan also has warned about the increasing influence of the
World Court. A 1995 report by the Commission on Global Govern-
ance, endorsed by U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali
recommends that "A new world order must be organized. ...Accept-
ance of the compulsory jurisdiction of the World Court should
surely be a basic condition for membership in the United Nations.
We strongly endorse community initiatives to...encourage the
disarming of citizens..."
The United Nations has an increasing hold on U.S. foreign
policy. The United Nations blocked a plan to take out a missile
launcher in Bosnia that eventually shot down U.S. pilot Scott
O'Grady. The Clinton administration feels so insecure in assert-
ing national sovereignty that it repeatedly reminds everyone
that U.S. missions in Somalia, Haiti, and Bosnia have been
approved by the United Nations.
The Buchanan campaign has provided a valuable service by
scrutinizing the movement toward a New World Order. Congress can
do its part by banning the use of State Department appropriations
or grants to other international organizations for promoting the
doctrine of one world government or one world citizenship. This
restriction was law from 1953 to 1986. Such a ban, contained in
a congressional conference report, has passed the House. The
Senate should do likewise.
