Dispensing With The "Myth"
of Senate Treaty Ratification Date: Nov 10, 2014 1:49 PM From Bruce Duncil
The US Constitution contains the following clause (Article
II, Section 2): "He [POTUS] shall have Power, by and with the Advice and
Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present
concur.
Concur means /agree/; no vote is 'required' and no provision
is made if there is NO concurrence, though a supermajority vote has been precedent
for ratification. *Now, what event in the past 6 years provides confidence that
the WH Occupier will follow this Constitution ?
Obama has used at least 2 methods (so far) to dispense with
“need" for **Senate ratification of Treaties he signs such as the US Small
Arms Treaty (SMT).
In 2011, BHO's trade rep signed ACTA (Anti-Counterfeiting
Trade Agreement) and did NOT seek ratification because they considered it to be
an 'Executive Agreement', not a treaty*, and because BHO claimed that it did
not change US law. http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/318690
Currently, BHO's negotiators are on track to present an
agreement for signature by all nations at a 2015 summit in Paris(http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/27/us/politics/obama-pursuing-climate-accord-in-lieu-of-treaty.html).
The plan is to "devise what they [negotiators] call a
“politically binding” deal that would “name and shame” countries into cutting
their emissions." "American
negotiators are homing in on a hybrid agreement— a proposal to blend legally
binding conditions from an
existing 1992 treaty with new voluntary pledges.
The mix would create a deal that would update the treaty,
and thus, negotiators say, not require a new vote of ratification." He also has regulation - from the same
article: "In seeking to go around Congress to push his international
climate change agenda, Mr. Obama is echoing his domestic climate strategy. In
June, he bypassed Congress and used his executive authority to order a
far-reaching regulation forcing American coal-fired power plants to curb their
carbon emissions."
IF THE SMT _DID_ COME DOWN TO A SENATE VOTE, ARE YOU WILLING
TO BET YOUR LIFE ON THEIR AMENDMENTS AS WITH LAST YEARS UN ATT ...
*Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) introduced an amendment that
would prevent the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms
Trade Treaty in order to uphold the Second Amendment. His amendment passed on a
53-46 vote.
IF THE SMT _IS___ FULLY IMPLEMENTED BY THIS ADMINISTRATION
IN EXECUTIVE ORDERS BY 12/24 AND /NEVER/ SENT TO THE SENATE - JUST WHAT EXACTLY
DO YOU THINK THEY - OR YOU - WOULD DO ABOUT IT?
U.S. law distinguishes what it calls /treaties/ from
/congressional-executive agreements/ and /sole-executive
agreements/.^[1]
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_Clause#cite_note-CRS-1>
All three classes are considered treaties under international law; they are
distinct only from the perspective of internal United States law. The
distinctions are primarily concerning their method of ratification: by
two-thirds of the Senate, by normal legislative process, or by the President
alone, respectively." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_Clause*

Lead is being regulated out of existence in the US, and its
import is under total federal control.
The criminal regime is systematically using our tax money to
eliminate our ability to buy ammunition by massively arming every bureaucrat
they control
When the only Constitutional law is the sheriff, police
forces at every level have been fully militarized since 2001
Prepare to be forcibly disarmed. The United States
government, 1 of 122 nations, SIGNED the United Nations Small Arms Treaty and
that Treaty WILL GO INTO EFFECT 24 December 2014.

You should be aware that this WH Occupier has long argued
that senate ratification is NOT required to make a UN treaty the 'law of the
land' nor has he hidden his intent to place every American under UN
jurisdication. Presidents since Bush I
(Earth Summit, RIO, 1992) have fully implemented UN treaties they've signed
into federal policy and action,
whether ratified or not, this federal regime- republican and
democrat- has, for more than a century, repeatedly enacted laws and signed
treaties that directly violate the Constitution and our Bill of Rights.
This article breaks down the provisions coming into force:*
Article 2 of the treaty defines the scope of the treaty’s
prohibitions. The right to own, buy, sell, trade, or
transfer all
means of armed resistance, including handguns, is denied to
civilians by this section of the Arms Trade Treaty.
Article 3 places the “ammunition/munitions fired, launched
or
delivered by the conventional arms covered under Article 2”
within the scope of the treaty’s prohibitions, as well.
Article 4 rounds out the regulations, also placing all
“parts and components” of weapons within the scheme.
Perhaps the most immediate threat to the rights of gun owners
in the Arms Trade Treaty is found in Article 5. Under the title of “General
Implementation,” Article 5 mandates that all countries participating in the
treaty “shall establish and maintain a national control system, including a
national control list.” This list should “apply the provisions of this Treaty
to the broadest range of conventional arms.”
Article 12 adds to the record-keeping requirement, mandating
that the list include “the quantity, value, model/type, authorized
international transfers of conventional arms,” as well as the identity of the
“end users” of these items.
Finally, the agreement demands that national governments
take “appropriate measures” to enforce the terms of the treaty, including
civilian disarmament. If these countries can’t get this done on their own,
however, Article 16 provides for UN assistance, specifically including help
with the enforcement of “stockpile management, disarmament, demobilization and
reintegration programmes.” In fact, a
“voluntary trust fund” will be established to assist those
countries that need help from UN
peacekeepers or other regional forces to disarm their citizens.

Over 100 of UN membership consists of third-world communist
dictatorships. These guys are thugs. The European countries are mostly
crumbling post-colonial basket cases that have been economically destroyed by
socialism and global warming mal-investment. Nothing these guys do should be of
interest to the US or Australia.
The “Republican” Congress needs to get us out of all UN
treaties. If they don’t, our worst fears will be confirmed.
The Thugs maintain armies to protect them from their citizens
who they have disarmed. European
countries banned guns to protect the hoodlums.
We have a 2nd Amendment and we need it more now than ever.
