Disarmament for All (Except the UN)
By John Griffing

In the midst of one of the greatest existential threats of our times, President Obama is pursuing severe reductions in US military strength. His recent statements at the United Nations have merely added fuel to the fire. When combined with his pledge to reduce US nuclear weapons stockpiles by 80 percent (http://www.heritage.org/research/nationalsecurity/wm2274.cfm), a clear pattern emerges (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/barackobama/4930565/Barack-Obama-offers-to-scrap-US-missile-defence-system-in-secret-letter-to-Russia.html).

These actions would seem irrational, even by Obama's standards, if they weren't in keeping with a 50-year old strategy aimed at unilaterally disarming the United States in order that a "progressively strengthened" UN Peace Force might be established.

This idea has been steadily advanced during both Republican and Democrat administrations alike.

Our nation's 50-year obsession with disarmament began during the Kennedy Administration. Disarmament Adviser to President Kennedy John J. McCloy, who held the distinction of being Chairman of the prestigious Council on Foreign Relations and Chase-Manhattan Bank, authored Freedom From War: The United States Program for General and Complete Disarmament in a Peaceful World, also called State Department Document 7277.[1]

Among the document's many alarming proposals, one stands out:


"The disbanding of all national armed forces and the prohibition of their reestablishments in any form whatsoever other than those required for internal order and for contributions to a United Nations Peace Force...."


President Kennedy presented this document before the UN Assembly in 1961. For all who lived through the Cuban Missile Crisis, and viewed Kennedy as the savior of the Western world, his words are sobering (http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php?pid=8352&st=&st1=):


The program to be presented to this assembly for general and complete disarmament under effective international control...would achieve...a steady reduction in force, both nuclear and conventional, until it has abolished all armies and all weapons except those needed for internal order and a new United Nations Peace Force.


McCloy followed up by authoring Public Law 87-297, signed (http://www.libertygunrights.com/PublicLaw87-297.html)by President Kennedy, establishing the US Arms Control and Disarmament Agency charged with "‘the identification, verification, inspection, limitation, control, reduction, or elimination, of armed forces and armaments of all kinds...under an effective system of international control.'" [Emphasis added.]

Arms Control and Disarmament Agency General Counsel A. Richard Richstein confirmed in a letter dated 11 May 1982 that "the United States has never formally withdrawn this proposal."[2] Even more chilling is the statement of Dr. William Nary, formerly the Chief Historian of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, who said, "The program has not been withdrawn and some of its steps have been implemented." [Emphasis added.]

Incredibly, this abominable plan is still being implemented.

So Obama wants to give 80% of our nukes to the UN???

How does that work? - give them their own "country" like the Vatican so they can have a huge mil base and put in silo farms? Maybe a corner of Iraq?

Give them a few boomers?

Maybe distribute them to the UN's member states? - I'm sure they would all use them responsibly as a deterrent... :rolleyes:

I also see no mention of the "private armies"... Xe (Blackwater), etc...

So the United States has been disarming since the Kennedy administration? Could have fooled me, given that, you know, the United States spends as much on funding its military as all the rest of the world put together. Yeah, Obama's really slashing the military to the bone; he only increased its budget by 8% for 2010.
