There has been little or no reluctance to allow the federal government to continually tax and send hard-earned dollars to the United Nations Development Program, GEF, and literally hundreds of other U.N. agencies that are not affected by Jesse Helm's war with the U.N. General Assembly. The designation of yet another national monument at the Sequoia National Forest is praised by environmental NGOs as strong leadership, when in reality it is another step toward the implementation of the unratified U.N. Convention on Biological Diversity, with complete disregard for the more than 10,000 requests by area citizens to not designate the monument. Nowhere in the speeches delivered in Washington, in President Clinton's remarks at Sequoia, nor in Al Gore's book, is there any concern expressed for protecting the fundamental principles of freedom upon which the American powerhouse has grown. Nowhere is there a defense of capitalism as the fundamental principle responsible for economic prosperity. Nowhere is there condemnation of the collectivist, centralized policy-making bureaucracy that is the essence of socialism and a perfect description of the United Nations as it transforms itself to embrace, ensnare, and enslave the 21st century.
Evidence is everywhere.
While most Americans seem unconcerned, a few organizations are working to shift the focus from global socialism to global freedom - beginning in the United States.
