According to the respected on-line service STRATFOR, a longstanding objective of the transnational progressives, U.S. ratification of the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST), is now just a matter of time. Already, parochial business interests, U.S. Navy lawyers and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice have embraced the Transies' bid to compel the United States to submit to a treaty Ronald Reagan rightly rejected, one that would make decisions affecting use of the international sea-beds and the waters above them the exclusive purview of an international organization. Apparently, the decisive argument will be that only transnational bureaucrats will be able to contend with the implications of the melting Arctic ice caps induced by global warming....Assault of the 'Transies', Frank J. Gaffney, Jr., Front Page Magazine, 4/6/2007
There it is. This is what the Gore-a-phytes want. In any totalitarian politics, the real agenda is never spoken aloud. But this one is revealed by Frank Gaffney's brilliant analysis in this Front Page Magazine article.
This has been an ongoing, mostly bureaucratic war for decades. As Gaffney rightly notes, the late President Reagan refused to accept the Law of the Sea treaty because it targeted American sovereignty. Evidently, the W's minions don't see it, at least the minion heading up State. Want to live in a world like Great Britain, where the vast proportion of rules, from use taxes to political correctness, are dictated by unelected bureaucrats?
Pay attention.

Right you are to cite this, Luther. Transnationalism it is, endorsed by "progressives" (read "socialists") as the citation indicates.
All of this stuff is part and parcel of a process, conducted by doggedly launching one phony issue after another, in order to set in motion an irresistible train of events that results in a gradual erosion of American sovereignty over itself. The idea is to "wither away" the capitalist US, forcing it to kow-tow to socialist elites.
The elites were once enshrined in Moscow, but now the locus seems to be the U.N., which, if anything, is more corrupt and less effective than the old Soviet Union itself.
What these all-knowing elites don't know, however, is that, having accomplished their objective at last, they will all be beheaded by the Islamofascists who are gleefully waiting for them to succeed. Dhimmitude is not far behind.
