Noticing the UN's dark side.(AHEAD OF THE CURVE)
ITEM: In the Wichita Eagle of December 15, 2004, syndicated columnist Cal Thomas commented on the John Birch Society: "In college days, I was aware of them. They were the fringe, and beyond the fringe, who believed ... the United States should get out of the United Nations. Without buying into the paranoia and conspiracy theories, I am now a convert."
AHEAD OF THE CURVE: The John Birch Society, of which this magazine is an affiliate, has accurately warned against the threat of the UN for decades. That there is a problem with the United Nations has only recently dawned upon most American politicians and media outlets, but it's not new. John Birch founder Robert Welch noted at the founding of the John Birch Society in December 1958 that globalists intend "to induce the gradual surrender of American sovereignty, piece by piece and step by step, to various international organizations--of which the United Nations is the outstanding but far from the only example."
The John Birch Society has also led the drive to get the United States out of the United Nations since first formalizing a "Get US out!" campaign in 1962. Between 1975 and 1982 the John Birch Society delivered to Congress petitions with over 11 million signatures to get the United States out of the United Nations. THE NEW AMERICAN, launched in 1985, has also repeatedly exposed the UN threat and called for U.S. withdrawal.
The above statement by Cal Thomas, which eschews what he calls "paranoia and conspiracy theories," merely reflects a lack of knowledge of the intent of the UN--as stated by members of the UN and the UN's founders. The United Nations' conspiracy to forge itself into a world government has been a mostly open conspiracy for many decades. Had Thomas been more attentive to the stated goals of the UN, as THE NEW AMERICAN and Robert Welch have been, then perhaps he would have come to the same conclusion during his "college days."
Robert Welch made his astute judgments about the UN without the benefit of some of the more forthcoming declarations by United Nations officials in recent decades, such as the 1995 report by the UN-affiliated Commission on Global Governance, Our Global Neighborhood, which openly promoted the idea that the United Nations should serve as a progressively strengthened world government.
Welch was able to project how the UN would infringe upon ...
