Date: Mon, 29 Apr 1996 21:48:10 -0400 Message-ID: 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.
