“Do not destroy that immortal emblem of humanity,
the Declaration of Independence.”
Abraham Lincoln
“Even as people take pride in their national independence,
we know we are becoming more and more interdependent.”
Bill Clinton
DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE!
The Declaration of Independence was signed as a result of our revolutionary forefathers’ revolt
against King George III and his tyrannical dictatorship over the thirteen colonies. In order for
these men to realize their God-given right to freedom as an independent union, 4,435 men had
to die in the Revolutionary War between 1775 and 1783. Since then, approximately 1.2 million
men and women have died in American wars, defending this cherished document that has set our
nation apart from all others. For over two hundred years, our independence as a nation has been
the very foundation of our republican form of government. I fear that the citizens of the United
States, after a short 233 years, have been so lulled to sleep that we cannot see the erosion of this
document right before our eyes. The very freedoms the Declaration of Independence stands for
are being stripped away under the guise of Global Interdependence. Make no mistake…global
governance is America’s 21st century King George!
WHAT IS GLOBAL INTERDEPENDENCE?
We hear terms like “Globalization” and “Global Interdependence” in the news all the time. The
United Nations has been very successful in keeping their global governing system under the radar
using phrases like these. Internationalists, politicians and the news media know that, even if a
concept is totally untrue, all you have to do is repeat it enough and someone will start to believe
it. The true definition for “Globalization” is the process of converting the world from consisting of
many sovereign nations into a single global government.
Think of it like this. If globalization were to succeed, this would put the United States under the
rule of a single, global authority, and our rights as a sovereign nation would cease to exist. We
are sold a bill of goods by smooth-talking politicians that we all need to work together to form
a perfect “Global Village”. They say we are now all interdependent, living on the same earth and
breathing the same air. But, do we fully understand where these proposals will ultimately lead?
Under global interdependence, United States citizens would suddenly be subject to international
laws concerning, education, taxes, banking, religion, climate change, wealth redistribution…and
the list goes on and on! And of course, all of this would be enforced by a world military. Simply
put, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence wouldn’t be worth
the parchment they were written on.
“In the next century, nationhood as we know it will be obsolete;
all states will recognize a single, global authority.”
