When Army Specialist Michael New refused to wear a United Nations uniform and serve under a general from Finland, his attorneys pointed out that the precedent would lead to more deployments based upon the Globalist Agenda of George Bush and Bill Clinton.

The House of Representatives, perhaps because they are closer to the pulse of the People, actually passed legislation in 1996 to forbid the forced deployment of American troops under the United Nations. (HR2540, Tom DeLay). The bill never came out of Senate committee. But time has passed and like our society at large, the attention span of Congress is short and there are matters more pressing.

In 1812-14 we fought a war with Great Britain over the issue of His Majesty’s Ships pressing American citizens into service in the Royal Navy. We considered our citizenship as sacred, and as an issue of sovereignty. We argued, at the point of cannon and sword, that no nation could impress the citizens of another nation into service against their will – that such was a return to feudalism. Washington was burned, but we won the war and sovereignty was maintained. For a while.

How ironic that in Kosovo, American citizens will be forced to serve under British soldiers, against their will, this time ordered there by an American President!

At issue is not the quality of the British officer in question. He’s no doubt a gentleman and a fine officer. The entire issue is whether it is legal, whether it is lawful, and if so, whether American citizens are no longer sovereigns. Is the “Grand Experiment” in self government expired? Many say this is the end of the Republic, and they may well be right.

When Americans are forced to bear arms in a conflict not their own, they are turned into involuntary mercenaries. No semantic smokescreen can make it anything else.

When a soldier accepts extra pay for the hazardous duty of serving a foreign power, under foreign officers, he becomes a voluntary mercenary. Let’s start calling a spade a spade.

When Congress abrogates its responsibility to control the military involvement of this country, as clearly stated in the Constitution, it has thrown in the towel and is no longer functioning as intended by the Framers. Only Congress can declare war. George Bush broke the law, but appealed to what he maintained was a higher law – the United Nations – when he illegally defended Kuwait. At least he acted under color of law.

Bill Clinton has built upon the Bush legacy of internationalization of our military by telling Congress AND the United Nations that he will do as he pleases, that he does not need either of them, and Madeleine Albright has the temerity to boldly proclaim the grand lie that the President is acting with Constitutional authority.

The only authority he has, if any, for these acts of treason must be found in Presidential Decision Directive #25, a top-secret document that even your Congressman is not allowed to read! This is the document whereby the president has authorized himself (!) to ignore Congress, ignore the Constitution, and to place our soldiers wherever he feels they are most needed.

Bill Clinton is a rogue head of state. He is acting without any authority whatsoever. He is committing impeachable offenses at an ever-increasing pace, now that the Senate has capitulated and strangled on phony polls and public opinion rather than their sworn constitutional duty. The age-old struggle of Rex Lex has once again prevailed over Lex Rex. (“The King is over the Law” vs. “The Law is over the King.”)

Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. (Have you heard this somewhere before?) Whenever any government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it.
