UN Convention for Child Rights - Taking Over Parenting



Yesterday at the Arizona Home School Convention (http://afhe.org/index.html) I sat in on a seminar entitled "UN Convention of the Rights of the Child: The UN's Plan to Take Over Parenting".

The Speaker was Scott Woodruff - Scott Woodruff, a follower of Christ since his conversion in 1971, earned his Juris Doctor degree from the University of Virginia in 1980. After working for John Ashcroft, and subsequently a major regional insurance company, Scott came to work for HSLDA in 1998. He is a member of the bar of the Supreme Court of the United States, and licensed in Virginia and Missouri. He has assisted thousands of home educating families in dealings with social workers, police officers, truant officers, principals, superintendents, and prosecuting attorneys. He has represented HSLDA members in court, and appeared before many state legislatures to fight against repressive homeschool legislation. Scott is a frequent speaker at homeschool conferences and on radio programs across the country. Scott currently handles legal issues for HSLDA members in Virginia, Maryland, Wisconsin, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Idaho, Maine, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, South Dakota, and Kansas. Scott and his wife, Jane, homeschooled all three of their children.

The description of the lecture is:
Imagine a world in which literally every parental decision can be overturned by a judge.  Imagine a world in which children can sue their parents for violating their privacy, not letting them go to church where they want, spanking them, not letting them hang out with whom they please, or not letting them read everything they want on the Internet.  Imagine a world in which every baby at birth is assigned a government agent to make sure the parents rear the child according to government standards.  That's the world of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.  Come hear how American parenting—and homeschooling as we know it—would vanish if the US Senate ratifies this treaty.  Mr.  Woodruff will present the actual text of many section of the treaty so you can decide for yourself.  So far we have been winning this battle, but we can't rest!

What I learned:

1.  The United States and 1 other tiny country are the only two Countries in the entire planet that have not already ratified this treaty.
2.  The United States is the only Country in the World where a treaty becomes law.  In Article 6 of the U.S. Constitution it states that any Treat takes supremacy over any Federal or State laws.  It becomes the supreme law of the land.  All other Countries in the World a Treaty is just a nice idea that they "try to follow".  It is not backed by the power of law to force their citizens with law.
3.  So the following details below will only affect the United States, no other Countries in the World would be forced by law like we would be in these things.

Ten things you need to know about the structure of the CRC:

1. It is a treaty which creates binding rules of law. It is no mere statement of altruism.
2. Its effect would be binding on American families, courts, and policy-makers.
3. Children of other nations would not be impacted or helped in any direct way by our ratification.
4. The CRC would automatically override almost all American laws on children and families because of the U.S. Constitution’s Supremacy Clause in Article VI.
5. The CRC has some elements that are self-executing, others would require implementing legislation. Federal courts would have the power to determine which provisions were self-executing.
6. The courts would have the power to directly enforce the provisions that are self-executing.
7. Congress would have the power to directly legislate on all subjects necessary to comply with the treaty. This would be the most massive shift of power from the states to the federal government in American history.
8. A committee of 18 experts from other nations sitting in Geneva has the authority to issue official interpretations of the treaty which are entitled to binding weight in American courts and legislatures. This effectively transfers ultimate policy authority for all policies in this area to this foreign committee.
9. Under international law, the treaty overrides even our Constitution.
10. Reservations, declarations, or understandings intended to modify our duty to comply with this treaty will be void if they are determined to be inconsistent with the object and purpose of the treaty.

Ten things you need to know about the substance of the CRC:

1. Parents would no longer be able to administer reasonable spankings to their children.
2. A murderer aged 17 years and 11 months and 29 days at the time of his crime could no longer be sentenced to life in prison.
3. Children would have the ability to choose their own religion while parents would only have the authority to give their children advice about religion.
4. The best interest of the child principle would give the government the ability to override every decision made by every parent if a government worker disagreed with the parent’s decision.
5. A child’s “right to be heard” would allow them to seek governmental review of every parental decision with which the child disagreed.
6. This treaty has been interpreted to make it illegal for a nation to spend more on national defense than it does on children’s welfare.
7. Children would acquire a legally enforceable right to leisure.
8. Teaching children about Christianity in schools has been held to be out of compliance with the CRC.
9. Allowing parents to opt their children out of sex education has been held to be out of compliance with the CRC.
10. Children would have the right to reproductive health information and services without parental knowledge or consent.

Note:  Bill Clinton already signed this treaty.  Now the only thing that is needed is to have 67 Senators sign it so that it is ratified and it becomes U.S. law.

Applications in real life:

1.  Your daughter wants a horse.  You tell her no. She informs you with a wry smile, "Father... I believe a horse will help me with my emotional development, it is good for my physical development, I will ride with other horse owners so it is important to my social development, when I ride a horse I feel free and in touch with my inner self so it develops my spiritual development.  If you do not get me a horse, I am going to call my social worker...... and.. she would have every expectation that the Government would then force her parents to purchase her a horse/barn/feed/saddle/gear/care for that horse.  Need to take a 2nd or 3rd job?  Too bad, it's in the best for your child and the government will force you to do it.

2.  Your son is dating a pretty little young lady that lives across town.  You are strict, you have family rules, you have your son do chores and you have expectations and responsibility being taught in your home.  The parents of his girlfriend though go to the government.  They inform on you that your son's household is too strict, it hampers his emotional development, he is not allowed proper leisure and recreation like we provide for our daughter.  We believe that it will improve the social and emotional development of both our daughter and their son if you removed their son from their home and have him move in to live with our daughter...... and.. they would have every expectation that the Government would force this issue and take your son away from you so that he can live with his girlfriend.

The examples are endless.  Who determines what is in the best interest of the child?  The Government judges and social workers.

Does anyone see a problem with this?

67 Senators is all that has to happen to make this our new law.

Solution:

Convention of the States for the creation of a new Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to make specific declarations about the U.N. and treaties so that their power can not come in and steal our children away from us.

It was refreshing to have so many people start speaking up and asking questions and bringing up Mark Levin and the Convention of the States.  People were asking questions and bringing up the problems with John McCain (who supports this U.N. treaty).

In the crowd at the lecture... a great many people had already heard about Mark Levin and have read his "Liberty Amendments" and know exactly what's going on and what needs to be done. http://www.marklevinshow.com/

Retired Army Captain Warns DHS Acquisitions are ‘bold threat of war’ Against the American People

On Saturday, retired United States Army Captain Terry M. Hestilow publicly voiced grave concerns over the Department of Homeland Security’s absurd acquisitions, posting a letter he sent to Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) on Facebook labeling the Obama administration’s recent appropriation of weapons a “bold threat of war” against citizens of the United States of America.
Retired Army Captain Warns DHS Acquisitions are bold threat of war Against the American People hestilow
Captain Terry M. Hestilow, United States Army, Retired, via Facebook
“It is with gravest concern that I write to you today concerning the recent appropriation of weapons by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that can only be understood as a bold threat of war by that agency, and the Obama administration, against the citizens of the United States of America,” the decorated retired Army Captain’s letter begins.
Referring to the DHS’ solicitations for nearly two billion rounds of ammunition and recent purchase of almost 3,000 mine-resistant ambush protected armored personnel carriers as “a tyrannical threat against the Constitution” and a deliberate attempt to defund the Department of Defense, the retired Army Captain asked Sen. Cornyn to honor his oath to the American people and the U.S. Constitution and “to demand in clear terms that the Administration cannot ignore, that the Department of Homeland Security immediately surrender their newly appropriated weapons of war to the Department of Defense (DoD).”

“Significant is the fact,” Captain Hestilow writes, “that at the same time the Obama administration is arming his DHS for war within the limits of the United States against the People of the United States in accordance with his 2008 campaign speech claiming,
‘We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve gotta (sic) have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded [as the United States military]‘–Candidate Barack Obama, 2008.”
“Further, since the DHS has assumed a position in the Administration to enforce the tyrannical acts of this president against the People of the United States against the limits of the United States Constitution, it remains for the United States Congress to exercise its limiting power in the balancing of powers established by our founding fathers, to disestablish and dissolve the DHS as soon as possible,” the retired Captain’s letter continues.
Calling the DHS purchases a “glaring threat of war against our nation’s citizens,” Hestilow says the actions “can only be understood as a tyrannical threat against the Constitution of the United States of America.”
“If left unresolved,” Hestilow states, “the peace loving citizens who have sworn to defend the United States Constitution ‘against all enemies, both foreign and domestic’ are left no option except to prepare to defend themselves, and the U.S. Constitution, against this Administration’s ‘coup’ against the People and the foundations of liberty fought for and defended for the past 238 years. We have no choice if we honor our oaths.”
The former Army Captain cites Adolf Hitler’s rise to power as evidence of the outcome of allowing such an agency free rein, stating,
“One needs only to look to the rise of Adolf Hitler, and his associated DHS organizations, the SA and the SS, of 1932-1934, to see the outcome of allowing an agency of government this kind of control over the free citizens of a nation. The people of Germany could not have imagined, until it was too late, the danger of allowing a tyrant this kind of power. We must not be so naïve as to think it will not happen to us as well if we remain passive toward this power grab by the Marxist Obama administration!”

The post is garnering unprecedented support, according to the retired Captain. Within a day, he says it has received over 3,000 shares, in addition to lassoing in 994 new friend requests. He is also encouraging others to copy and properly amend the letter to send to their own senators and members of the U.S. House.
The retired Army Captain’s message follows another letterpenned by 15 Congressmen earlier in the week to the DHS asking if the ammo purchases were part of an effort to strategically deny American people access to ammunition.
“The extraordinary level of ammunition purchases made by Homeland Security seems to have, in states such as my own, created an extreme shortage of ammunition to the point where many gun owners are unable to purchase any,” California Congressman Doug LaMalfa wrote in the letter.
Concerns that the DHS is engaged in a domestic arms buildup against the People have also been echoed by notable political figures and such mainstream publications as Forbes Magazine, who earlier this month called for a “national conversation” on the topic.
Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin was recently portrayed by media as a “conspiracy theorist” after she posted a remark on Facebook warning that imminent financial collapse could be the reason “why the Feds are stockpiling bullets in case of civil unrest.”
Similar concerns were also recently made public by Fox Business host Lou Dobbs when he asked NRA president Wayne LaPierre, during his March 4 broadcast, about the bizarre solicitations.
As an overwhelming number of Americans grow distressed over the curious purchases, mainstream media agencies, such as the Associated PressPoliticoMedia Matters, and the Atlantic Wire, have frantically tried to tamp down speculation of a threat to civil liberties, refusing to conduct actual research into the subject and instead regurgitating superficial explanations issued by government officials.
A recent report that the DHS holds a $2 million contract with a firing range target manufacturer that produces shooting targets of armed pregnant women, children and elderly gun owners depicted in residential settings, has also not helped suppress speculation.
Despite numerous pleas to address the matter, the DHS has yet to issue a plausible explanation as to why they have apparently been building up a veritable ammunition and firearm stockpile domestically – purchasing profane amounts of riot geararmored military vehiclesbulletproof checkpoints, and some 7,000 fully automatic assault rifles – and still refuses to answer questions from citizen journalists and multiple elected representatives.
Below is retired United States Army Captain Terry M. Hestilow’s letter to Sen. Cornyn in its entirety:
The Honorable Senator John Cornyn, State of Texas
United States Senate
517 Hart Senate Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20510
Re: Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and that agencies preparation for war against citizens of the United States of America.
Dear Senator Cornyn,
It is with gravest concern that I write to you today concerning the recent appropriation of weapons by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that can only be understood as a bold threat of war by that agency, and the Obama administration, against the citizens of the United States of America. To date, DHS has been unwilling to provide to you, the elected representatives of the People, justification for recent purchases of almost 3,000 mine-resistant ambush-protected (MRAP) armored personnel carriers, 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition (with associated weapons), and other weapons systems, when, in fact, the DHS has no war mission or war making authority within the limits of the United States of America.
Significant is the fact that at the same time the Obama administration is arming his DHS for war within the limits of the United States against the People of the United States in accordance with his 2008 campaign speech claiming,
“We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve gotta (sic) have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded [as the United States military]”–Candidate Barack Obama, 2008.
the Obama administration is deliberately defunding, overextending, and hollowing the Department of Defense; the only legitimate agency of the U.S. government with a war mission.
This act of the Obama administration stands as a glaring threat of war against our nation’s citizens! This act of the Obama administration can only be understood as a tyrannical threat against the Constitution of the United States of America! If left unresolved, the peace loving citizens who have sworn to defend the United States Constitution “against all enemies, both foreign and domestic” are left no option except to prepare to defend themselves, and the U.S. Constitution, against this Administration’s “coup” against the People and the foundations of liberty fought for and defended for the past 238 years. We have no choice if we honor our oaths.
The only proper response to this threat against the American people is for the representatives of the People, the members of the U.S. House and Senate, to demand in clear terms that the Administration cannot ignore, that the Department of Homeland Security immediately surrender their newly appropriated weapons of war to the Department of Defense (DoD). Further, since the DHS has assumed a position in the Administration to enforce the tyrannical acts of this president against the People of the United States against the limits of the United States Constitution, it remains for the United States Congress to exercise its limiting power in the balancing of powers established by our founding fathers, to disestablish and dissolve the DHS as soon as possible. One needs only to look to the rise of Adolf Hitler, and his associated DHS organizations, the SA and the SS, of 1932-1934, to see the outcome of allowing an agency of government this kind of control over the free citizens of a nation. The people of Germany could not have imagined, until it was too late, the danger of allowing a tyrant this kind of power. We must not be so naïve as to think it will not happen to us as well if we remain passive toward this power grab by the Marxist Obama administration!
Finally, for more than two centuries the nation has lived in peace at home because of the protections of our legitimate military and the many appropriate state and federal law enforcement agencies, supported by Constitutional courts. We stand today at a cross-road. Will we allow this present Administration to overthrow our United States Constitution and its legal processes to amend injustices, or, will we honor our obligations to defend the Constitution against a “domestic” enemy? Our Constitution lays out the proper methods of resolving our differences; and it does not include its overthrow by a rogue agency of a Marxist leadership at home. You, sir, are our constitutionally elected agent to defend our Constitution at home. We are counting upon you. We remain aware, however, of this present threat and will not expose ourselves as an easy prey to the authors of the destruction of our nation.
I know that this letter demands much of you. We elected you because we, the citizens of the State of Texas, believe that you are up to the task at hand and will, against all threats, honor your oath and office. We are also writing to your fellow members of the House and Senate to stand in integrity with the Constitution and against this present threat by the Obama administration and his DHS.
We refuse to surrender our Constitution or our nation!
Resolved,
Captain Terry M. Hestilow
United States Army, Retired

Please Support These Companies

There are those that just stay quiet and let their freedoms get washed away for various reasons.  Perhaps they feel helpless.... what can they do against a tyrannical government?  Won't they be called a criminal and go to prison if they so no to their Nazi leaders?  Yes.. yes they may but I for one will not be that Jewish man calmly walking up into that cattle car at the train yard being led to the camps.

Stay quiet if you must, but as you do the Country you live in is being destroyed and you are quickening the arrival of all out civil war.

Or... you can grow a pair of balls and do something about it.  I'm not saying go into civil unrest (though you better prepare for that because it is coming).  What I'm saying is that when someone stands up against the bully get off the park bench and stand right behind them and look that bully right in the eye.  If that bully continues, we're going to whip it's tuckus.

The following companies in the last couple weeks have stood up against our tyrannical leaders.  The following companies have stopped selling firearms and ammunition to law enforcement agencies in states that are restricting the Second Amendment.

I am happy to say that before I saw this list I was already making purchases from at least one of these companies (thank you CheaperThanDirt.com for the Ruger SR9C magazines).


You Do Not Fight Wolves By Creating More Sheep

More and more people like this man are stepping up and the numbers of people that were asleep are being awakened.  We are arming, we are drilling, we are preparing.  When the time comes I will rip the throats out of men with my teeth if I must but I will not stand and watch my Country become a land of slaves to a communist dictator.

Armed: Alive - Unarmed: Dead

Two stories hit the news on the same day.

The first is a horrific story of a man in his home with his wife and daughter when two armed black men come in to rob them.  When the men head for his 11 year old daughter's room the dad protests... and gets shot dead (several times) for protecting his daughter.

Video of News Report

Second Story man is armed when confronted by a burglar in his home.

Burglar is now dead.



Honestly, how stupid do you have to be to purposeful choose option 1?

Obama Prepping The Military to Attack Citizens of the USA

I've been asking myself this question and others have approached me asking what I thought the military would do when Obama pushes too far and then calls the military to put down the American People.

I've had to be honest and answer those who asked me and tell them that a good 30% of those I served with in the military are very much socialists and would see no issue in attacking American citizens if they were ordered to; if it meant they were promoted and brought closer into the rings of power near the top.

70% though I have said would refuse to take orders to kill American citizens.

I believe though that the National Guard would have a far lower percentage that would accept and carry out such an order.  The National Guard in my view are not nearly as political and back stabbing and deceitful as those I encountered while in Active Duty.

Up until this point it has been a -feeling-... the path that Obama is on is one that is designed to bring the Country to the point of civil war.  And as such, you have to ask yourself how will you survive such an event. Will you become a slave to the government and turn your back on your neighbors to ensure your intake of food and medical care and protection from the government?  Or will you stand up and refuse to allow the government to subjugate the population into slaves for it's own power.

This blog entry is not about what your choice will be... it is to show a video where information has slipped out of the military in where the military leaders are being prepped and having the seeds of thought planted in their minds that some day soon... they will need to make that choice to shoot on their fellow American citizens.

Check out the video at 1:50 and onward.



The video below is part of that 70% I believe will not take such commands and follow through on them.
