    The Senate is gearing up to ratify a Nixon-era U.N. treaty meant to create universal laws to govern the seas — a treaty critics say will create a massive U.N. bureaucracy that could even claim powers over American waterways.

    LOST — the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea, also called the Law of the Sea Treaty — regulates all things oceanic, from fishing rights, navigation lanes and environmental concerns to what lies beneath: the seabed’s oil and mineral wealth that companies hope to explore and exploit in coming years.

    But critics say the treaty, which declares the sea and its bounty the “universal heritage of mankind,” would redistribute American profits and have a reach extending into rivers and streams all the way up the mighty Mississippi.

    The U.N. began working on LOST in 1973, and 157 nations have signed on to the treaty since it was concluded in 1982. Yet it has been stuck in dry dock for nearly 30 years in the U.S. and never even been brought to a full vote before the Senate.

    But swelling approval in the Senate and the combined support of the White House, State Department and U.S. Navy mean LOST may be ready to unfurl its sails again.

    Sen. John Kerry, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said during a January confirmation hearing that he intends to push for ratification. “We are now laying the groundwork for and expect to try to take up the Law of the Sea Treaty. So that will be one of the priorities of the committee, and the key here is just timing — how we proceed.”

      The reason the Republican party shunned Ron Paul is because he is many things that they are not. He is honest. He is conservative. He follows the Constitution. He stays out of the affairs of sovereign nations. He is for small government. He is for open, fair and honest elections. He is for third party representation.
      He is for open government. He is for states rights. He is for non government intervention. He is for small government. He is for minimal taxation. He is for disbanding the IRS.
      Now, why would the Republican party shun a man with this kind of character?
      Answer: He is what they pretend to be. He is a true conservative who practices what the republicans preach. He is what the republican party will never be. He is Ron Paul.

      I sent 2 separate and differently worded emails regarding the “Law of the Sea Treaty” to Senator Dodd….a known criminal and permanent fixture in Connecticut and D.C.

      Each response i received in return was a standard form letter heralding the ratification of the treaty and pretty much saying….i don’t give a crap what you want….this will come to be….

      Since over one third of the people polled in this country can’t even name three branches of the government…you can bet nearly no one has even heard of this treaty….

      We are screwed….get your s--- together, plan your escape and regroup later on when the smoke clears…it’s our only hope.

    10. DM Says:

      This tightens the noose, folks.

      @mysty147: I did the same thing, and have yet to be afforded an answer from my Senators on this. If Mary Landrieu keeps to form, I won’t get an answer until after the vote passes, and it will be her telling me why she thought it was such a great idea, as well as how it will benefit all of us.

    11. Florian Says:

      So Senator Kerry (the naked communist traitor) wants to give up our sovereignty to the UN eh?
      It doesn’t matter….American pussies won’t do a damn thing–and these corrupt criminals know it.
      SAD……….

    12. REB Says:

      Will someone please just beat these retards with a pipe till they quit moving and then feed them to the sea? UN and congress canot collude to fix any treaty that defies the constitution or American soveriegnty,though they may think they can,time to rebel!

      How does this story we call life end? Will the New World Order Succeed? Reach deep for the answers and when you finally realize with all your heart that the power is With The People, your gonna want to unite with others that feel the way you do. When that day comes, just remember:

      So we could have Iranian ships in the mississippi river??
      Sounds strange to allow other countries into our country to break immigration laws and deliver drugs or conduct spying.
      Guess the borders and the sea will all be wide open for terrorist and drug dealers at a time when it seems contrary to the problems we have at the moment.
      I like my borders locked!!

      JOHN KERRY SISSY ASS BITCH f--- CAN GO AND WILL GO TO HELL AND BURN FOR EVER.CANT WAIT TILL ALL THESE BASTARDS GO TO HELL AND BURN/ KEEP DRINKING THE COOL AID BOYS

      This is just another blatant example of globalization. I doubt most people even understand what something like this truly means. Seriously, if the U.N. controls the water, all they will need is Codex Alimentarius to become law in the UNITED STATES and we will be history.

      Building a United Nations New World Order Pirate Navy !!!

    20. RR Says:

      We ain’t meant to fight this thing any longer. Think about it…”they” have already won. The chance to fight was a group of Godly founded men called the Founding Fathers.

      Aside from the “conspiracy kooks” on this web site how many in Manly Hall’s “imbecile majority” STILL don’t see the so called “conspiracy”? Get right with God, the real One, while there’s still time.

      Hi this is your new world order, I am the illuminati. i am amazed at how you guys have all missed the point of the story. What we are doing with this “Treaty of the sea” is creating a blanked “harmonized” set of laws under the Admiralty statutes that is equal all through out the planet this is the judicial frame work for a one world goverment under a one world judiciary.

      Admiralty laws or laws of the sea are what we tested here in the USA to switch from civil law to banking law for all Americans. This is the way we invalidate the Constitutions Bill of Rights by replacing these laws of the “land” with laws of the “Sea”

      One world goverment is here and you guys that are somewhat illumed didn’t even notice the real meaning of this story.
