The most important political address of 2018
The United States is quickly becoming divided into globalists and the patriots. They are at total war against each other. Since they are ideologically incompatible, only one side can win. In time, all will support one side or the other side. Readers already are, whether or not they are fully aware of what they support.
The globalists, often called the establishment or the deep state, prefer worldwide open borders, the eventual transfer of all political power to international levels, and eventually world government. National sovereignty is their enemy. The patriots prefer freedom from excessive government, independence from any governing entity other than Congress, patriotism, and the Constitution as written. The choice is uncannily similar to the choice given to Americans in 1776.
The globalists, deeply embedded in our parties and establishment media, hated the following address and consequently minimized coverage of it in their print outlets like the New York Times, Washington Post, and network media. If followed it would shut down their New World Order and world-governance aspirations. It would spell a different foreign policy than has been practiced since World War II but one far more in harmony with that of the Founding Fathers.
Chances are very good that readers missed important parts of what President Donald Trump told the United Nations Sept. 25, 2018. It could be summarized in 12 words from it: “We reject the ideology of globalism and accept the doctrine of patriotism” with the addition that “America is governed by Americans.” Directed squarely at the globalists in the room, he effectively said, “We will keep our sovereignty and expect other nations to keep theirs as well.”
“We are standing up for America and for the American people,” Trump told them. “And we are also standing up for the world. That is why America will always choose independence and cooperation over global governance, control, and domination. I honor the right of every nation in this room to pursue its own customs, beliefs, and traditions.” Then amazingly, in total contrast with every president since World War II, he said, “The United States will not tell you how to live or work or worship. We only ask that you honor our sovereignty in return.”
Trump rejected one international organization in particular, created by the globalists to undermine our sovereignty: “The United States will provide no support in recognition to the International Criminal Court. As far as America is concerned, the ICC has no jurisdiction, no legitimacy, and no authority. The ICC claims near-universal jurisdiction over the citizens of every country, violating all principles of justice, fairness, and due process.”
He then added what most patriots wanted their government to say to the United Nations since its inception: “We will never surrender America’s sovereignty to an unelected, unaccountable global bureaucracy.” He encouraged other nations to protect their sovereignty as well: “Around the world, responsible nations must defend against threats to sovereignty not just from global governance, but also from other, new forms of coercion and domination.”
Imagine what the globalists in the room thought. The United States had been the lead founder and funder. Moreover, David Rockefeller donated the property to house the infant world government organization that has since increasingly absorbed control over all nations of the earth. The United States is the principal reason why the United Nations exists. All presidents have supported it. No president has spoken this way. Ronald Reagan alone opposed its growing power over the sovereignty of nations. He reduced U.S. funding for it from 33 percent to 25 percent. Patriots cheered the Reagan move but now want more, which Trump seems ready to give. Most want removal from the organization altogether.
Trump also turned to illegal immigration and human trafficking as threats to sovereignty: “The United States is also working with partners in Latin America to confront threats to sovereignty from uncontrolled migration. Tolerance for human struggling and human smuggling and trafficking is not humane. It’s a horrible thing that’s going on, at levels that nobody has ever seen before. It’s very, very cruel.”
He addressed why the United States refused to participate in the new UN Global Compact on Migration: “We recognize the right of every nation in this room to set its own immigration policy in accordance with its national interests, just as we ask other countries to respect our own right to do the same — which we are doing. That is one reason the United States will not participate in the new Global Compact on Migration. Migration should not be governed by an international body unaccountable to our own citizens.”
Finally, he spoke of the foundation of freedom as being national sovereignty, which must be preserved: “To unleash this incredible potential in our people, we must defend the foundations that make it all possible. Sovereign and independent nations are the only vehicle where freedom has ever survived, democracy has ever endured, or peace has ever prospered. And so we must protect our sovereignty and our cherished independence above all.”
Trump ended by saying, “So together, let us choose a future of patriotism, prosperity, and pride. Let us choose peace and freedom over domination and defeat. And let us come here to this place to stand for our people and their nations, forever strong, forever sovereign.”
The UN, the heart of world government and globalism, never had an address delivered like this, certainly the most important political address of 2018.
