Jeremiah 3: 3-5—“Therefore the showers have been withheld, and there has been no spring rain. Yet you had a harlot’s forehead; you refused to be ashamed. Have you not just now called to Me, ‘My Father, You are the friend of my youth? Will He be angry forever? Will He be indignant to the end?’ Behold, you have spoken and have done evil things, and you have had your way.”

The Word of Yahweh:

Thus says Yahweh concerning all My wicked neighbors who strike at the inheritance with which I have endowed My people Israel, “Behold I am about to uproot them from their land and will uproot the house of Judah from among them.  And it will come about that after I have uprooted them, I will again have compassion on them; and I will bring them back, each one to his inheritance and each one to his land.  Then if they will really learn the ways of My people, to swear by My name, ‘As Yahweh lives,’ even as they taught My people to swear by Baal, they will be built up in the midst of My people.  But if they will not listen, then I will uproot that nation, uproot and destroy it,” declares Yahweh. (Jeremiah 12: 14-17)

How they vote in the United Nations

I received an email recently that contained some interesting information.  I checked it on Snopes, and it’s accurate.  The text of the email is below:

Below are the actual voting records of various Arabic/Islamic States which are recorded in both the US State Department and United Nations records:

  • Kuwait votes against the United States 67% of the time. 
  • Qatar votes against the United States 67% of the time.
  • Morocco votes against the United States 70% of the time.
  • United Arab Emirates votes against the U. S. 70% of the time.
  • Jordan votes against the United States 71% of the time.
  • Tunisia votes against the United States 71% of the time.
  • Saudi Arabia votes against the United States 73% of the time.
  • Yemen votes against the United States 74% of the time.
  • Algeria votes against the United States 74% of the time.
  • Oman votes against the United States 74% of the time.
  • Sudan votes against the United States 75% of the time.
  • Pakistan votes against the United States 75% of the time.
  • Libya votes against the United States 76% of the time.
  • Egypt votes against the United States 79% of the time.
  • Lebanon votes against the United States 80% of the time.
  • India votes against the United States 81% of the time.
  • Syria votes against the United States 84% of the time.
  • Mauritania votes against the United States 87% of the time.

Other facts:

Egypt, after voting 79% of the time against the United States, still receives $2 billion annually in US Foreign Aid.  Jordan votes 71% against the United States and receives $192,814,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.  Pakistan votes 75% against the United States and receives $6,721,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.  India votes 81% against the United States and receives $143,699,000 annually.

Keep in mind that this information was collected before the Arab Spring began.  Maybe it’s time for us to reconsider our role in the UN and to rethink our foreign aid program.  We’re being used and abused by countries that would turn on us in the blink of an eye and not think twice about it.

Obama’s Slippery Slope

US involvement in the Kosovo War was based on a principle first espoused by Prime Minister Tony Blair of Britain – “We have a responsibility to act.”  President Bill Clinton wasn’t convinced at first, but after Blair’s unyielding campaign to sell his idea, Clinton went along.  It was the world’s first “humanitarian war”, and to this day the guiding principle of Western leaders boils down to a single, undefined phrase – “We have a responsibility to act.”

President Obama had nothing to do with the principle’s creation, but he used it Monday night in a speech at the National Defense University in Washington to explain why the US went to war with Libya.  His talk was aimed as much at the peoples of the world as it was at the American people, and he left no doubt in anyone’s mind that nations of the world “have a responsibility to act” to defend suffering humans wherever they may be.

Like socialism, in theory it sounds wonderful – the right thing to do, but in practice, it’s full of holes because it is such an open-ended, nebulous concept.  The problem with the principle begins to break down with the first word, “we”.  Who is “we”?  Is it the UN?  Is it NATO?  Is it the quartet?  No one has yet clarified who “we” are, but if the “we have a responsibility to act” principle is going to be our guiding global principle, someone will have to.  In due course, you can bet that someone will.

The “we have a responsibility to act” principle becomes even more problematic when the word “responsibility” is introduced.  What is “responsibility”?  Is it a duty, a task, or a job?  If it is, then who gave it to “we”?  The UN?  In Libya’s case, the answer is yes, but in other instances the answer is no.  Take Iraq, for example.  The US and its allies were going to take action in Iraq.  That was clear from the beginning, but the UN didn’t go along.  In the end, a “coalition of the willing” simply assumed responsibility, invaded Iraq, deposed Saddam Hussein, and replaced his dictatorial Baathist regime with a democratic government.  We are still enmeshed in that struggle, but the “we have a responsibility to act” principle is no clearer now than it was in the 1990s when it was first introduced.

The final problem with the “we have a responsibility to act” principle lies in the definition of the phrase “to act”.  Broadly defined, “to act” can mean anything from invasion to no-fly zones to embargos of various sorts to anything the “we” decides is their “responsibility”.  People who have dedicated their professional lives to law enforcement realize how thorny this arrangement is because it violates every principle of jurisprudence that we have come to accept and respect.  It’s the global equivalent of vigilante justice, and it can’t and won’t survive.

To become a legitimate guiding principle, the “we have a responsibility act” principle must clearly define “we”, “responsibility”, and “to act”.  Absent those definitions, the “we have a responsibility act” principle leads to chaos and potential repression on a global scale by a “coalition of the willing” or the UN or any other group that sees as its duty the responsibility to take any action it chooses to bring about any outcome it desires.

Will the “we” be the UN?  Maybe, but it’s doubtful given the UN’s current configuration, its spotty record, and its propensity for manipulation by individuals and groups with dark agendas.  Will it be NATO or a similar group?  Not likely because NATO and groups like it are simply alliances of nations, subgroups of “the nations of the world”.  In the end, defining “we” will challenge the very concept of “sovereign nation” because if the “we” has a “responsibility to act”, then nations by definition can’t be sovereign.

We are in the process of defining what has come to be known as “one world government”.  In due course, the questions I’ve posed will have to be answered, and they will be answered.  When they’re answered we will have a “one world government” with laws, regulations, taxing authority, and enforcement powers – everything a global government will need to operate.

I’m not telling you this because I think it’s the right thing to do.  I’m bringing it up because it’s inevitable, and it’s taking place right now.  We’re not waiting for it to happen.
