THE RELENTLESS ATTACK ON SOVEREIGNTY:
In almost every liberal forum I hear or read from, the attack on the word "sovereignty" continues to occupy a front row seat. In every discussion of East Timor, we keep hearing the "sovereignty issues must not deter us from intervening in behalf of human rights." For example, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan warned that countries "cannot assume their national sovereignty will protect them from international intervention to stop human rights abuses." In the previous article on Kosovo from the Washington Post, the final sentence adds an attack against sovereignty: "But they add that sovereignty issues should not be allowed to stand in the way of Kosovo's progress because it will likely gain its independence anyway." Bologna!--Kosovo would never have gotten its independence under a Communist Yugoslavia--the government has a monopoly on power.
This week on the New Hour With Jim Lehre, NWO European spokesman Christopher Patten (who helped sell-out Hong Kong to Red China under Margaret Thatcher) interchanged 10 minutes worth of dialogue with his host on why sovereignty has to be "redefined" so as to allow "intervention by the International Community" at will (for human rights purpose, of course). Other notable NWO leaders echoed the attack on sovereignty at the UN General Assembly. "The United Nations' mission is not limited to the settlement of conflicts between states," Lionel Jospin, the Leftist Prime Minister of France, said, "With man's growing aspirations for greater freedom and responsibility, its mission extends to the protection of human dignity, within each state and, when necessary -- as the Charter allows --against states." Jospin denounced "state-instigated violence," and urged the UN to "uphold the principle of international intervention under U.N. auspices, to assist the victims." Robin Cook, Britain's Marxist foreign secretary, joined in, "We have a shared responsibility to act also when confronted with genocide, mass displacement of people or major breaches of international humanitarian law. To know that such atrocities are being committed and not to act against them is to make us complicit in them." But what about the known abuses in China. Everyone is strangely silent about them. But Portuguese President Jorge Fernando Branco de Sampaio (whose nation used to govern East Timor during colonial days) blamed the United Nations for not protecting the people who Portugal had allowed to seek independence. In reality, Portugal had only encouraged a Marxist takeover of East Timor, which had been resisted by the business community and Indonesia. "How could the United Nations, having organized the popular consultation (referendum), betray the confidence placed in it by the people of East Timor? " The refusal of the UN to intervene in the Communist backed terrorism in the past years has been, in my opinion, to facilitate the conflict now going on. Jorge Branco can't be that naive not to have seen this pattern before--especially since it has already been playing out in Angola and Mozambique for years. He is simply posturing to shift blame away from Portugal and save face.
ANALYSIS: Note how careful they are about openly calling for the destruction of national sovereignty. But here is the anomaly of logic. Sovereignty has been breached many times before in both war and peace--but world leaders never before tried to destroy the very concept of sovereignty, knowing how essential it was to their own claims to defense and liberty. But now it is clear that sovereignty has to go. Increasingly, you will hear news pundits referring to nations as mere "states". This is no accident. The intent is clearly to downgrade the notion of nationhood to that of small states forming part of the euphemistic "International Community." How benign sounding, but how deadly--once armed. The Chris Patten interview also discussed openly the broad intentions of the European Union to form a large unified Army in Europe. Patten was quick to point out that this would not replace NATO, but would only strengthen it in its new interventionist role, worldwide. As I pointed out in previous issues. This kind of talk confirms my thesis that the war in Kosovo was pursued in order to create a new role for the West as interventionists and aggressors throughout the world. This is necessary in order to give the Russians the proper "nationalistic" rational to justify a future attack on the West. How can she justify unleashing a nuclear holocaust if the "motherland" isn't threatened by Western Aggression? The West is, I believe, facilitating that rational by purposely engaging in that aggression.
