...and the winner is: the US Constitution.
This fight, for those who just stepped off the slow intergalactic shuttle from Zargon, was all about the forces of international Socialism (Big Brother Governments) trying to erase a United States Civil Right, the Right to Keep and Bear arms.
The United Nations proposed a Small Arms Treaty which would have required each signatory Government to maintain control, firm control, of the possession of small arms in that Government's country. In the United States, that treaty would have generated a Constitutional Crisis, since OUR Constitution guarantees citizens the right to control whether they keep and bear arms. In this Nation, we have certain enumerated Civil Rights, and the R2KBA is one of them, enshrined as it is in the Bill of Rights.
It would have been a step down a VERY slippery slope to grant a super-numerary body like the United Nations the right to negate a Constitutionally-guaranteed Civil Right, but ever since this cockamamie idea came up years ago in the UN, all of our Presidents, up to Obama, firmly told the United Nations to bugger off, that treaty/law will never apply here. Obama changed all of that, and said that his Administration would "consider" it. Of course he would "consider" it. Obama is a Socialist at heart, and a Socialist in many of his political actions, and he would have LOVED to force the USA to abandon that individualist Civil Right, because then, he could have forced the abandonment of the biggest right of all, the right to Free Speech, the First Amendment. Without guns to have to face when his dictatorship was finally declared, with Free Speech dead to silence opposition to his dictatorship, Obama would have been able to ignore the remainder of the US Constitution, rip it up, and put his own rules into it's place, as most of the UN's membership of nations has done.
It didn't happen, though. Friday, 27 July, was the deadline for the Special Committee of the UN to report out a draft treaty to be voted on by the General Assembly, and Friday passed without agreement, because push had come to shove, and Obama had to declare he was in favor of the treaty or not in favor of it. As the years of the hatching of this murderous plot distilled down to a few hours, the Administration sent a message to the Special Committee that it now needed full-membership "consensus" on the treaty, whatever that meant. No body of rulers ever governed or wrote laws by "consensus", they always govern by definable majorities, which are NOT the same thing. I'm sure Obama's last message to the Committee rated a big "Huh???" up in New Jack Citeh.
So, to save face, Obama obfuscated the treaty out of existance. He knew that if he had agreed to sign it in it's Committee format, he could have been successfully accused of violating his own Constitution, a possibly-impeachable act, during his re-election campaign. On the more practical side, a bi-partisan coalition of at least 51 Senators had formed and issued a communique saying that the Small Arms Treaty would NOT be ratified by the Senate in this Congress, which further left Obama with his ass hanging out in the breeze.
Now that the Treaty is dead for now, we need to look at why it was brought about in the first place.
The Rivrdog Blog maintains that this treaty was a Socialist fabrication deliberately designed to remove the Civil Right most important to the preservation of all of the Bill of Rights in our Constitution.
I repeat, in plainer language: this Small Arms Treaty was designed to be the first spear-thrust in a frontal assault to kill our Constitution.
The Rivrdog Blog believes that it is easily proven that the United Nations knew that they were proposing a Treaty which would be in direct contravention of our Civil Rights as enumerated in our Constitution, and that they had the intention of removing that Civil Right by their action.
Readers, this is definitive, final, proof, that the United Nations works directly against our Constitution, and therefore, by definition, they are an Enemy of the United States.
Why is this body still allowed to maintain offices upon our shores? Why do we have officials in the employ of the United States Federal Government who consort with and encourage the actions of an enemy?
Get the UN out of the US.
Get the supporters of the United Nations out of the US Government. They are traitors, by legal definition. President Obama supported this treachery up until the last possible moment, when he would have had to go on the written record supporting it, and therefore would have committed a violation of his Oath of Office by failing to support and defend the Constitution, and, at the cost of exceptionally grave damage to the interests of the United States (I'm reliably informed that we are still interested in supporting our enumerated civil Rights), that could be considered Capital Treason. He was within a hair's breadth of crossing the line of actionable treason, but Obama didn't cross the line. Undoubtedly though, he has advisors and staffers who wrote documents and memos supporting the Small Arms Treaty and urging him to sign it when it was presented, and those people should be indicted, arrested and imprisoned for Treason.
The Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution must be held absolutely inviolate, in the spirit AND letter of the language in which it was written. Everyone who has ever taken a Federal Oath of Office has agreed to this inviolability, and those of us who bore arms for our Nation have additionally sworn to lay down our lives, if neccessary, to uphold that inviolability.
President Obama must explain, forthwith, why this proposed UN Treaty on Small Arms got as close to his desk as it did. If he fails to give this explanation, then he is hiding his own near-treason, and the definable treason of his underlings.
