L.O.S.T. At Sea Still Sailing Along

LAW OF THE SEA ON FAST TRACK TO RATIFICATION, so says the Colonel's Corner blog by Ollie North on the Fox News website. The measure passed the Senate Foreign Relations committee by a 17-4 vote and is headed to the Senate floor for a vote. This is yet another one to keep an eye on, to see how our Lords & Masters will vote, as many critics see this as yet another step to undermining the sovereignty of the USA.

...Trent Lott, R-MS, says flatly, "If you want the UN on steroids, you want the Law of the Seas Treaty. I am absolutely convinced it undermines U.S. sovereignty."
.
...This is the latest attempt by the one worlders who rule us to bring us closer to being another member state in the larger global village...an important state, to be sure, but just a state - sort of like Kalifornia is here in the USA, I suppose. In the 1980's, President Reagan shot down the initial attempt saying that it did not "satisfy the objectives sought by the United States."
...In the 1990's, President Clinton tried to get another version approved by the Senate, but it was shot down.
...But now it is back on the fast track, amidst virtual secrecy among most of the bought and paid for corporate controlled media. Have you seen anything on it on any of the TV news shows you watch? Other than Lou Dobbs, I'm not aware of any of them covering this story from any angle.
...Speaking of Mr. Dobbs, it seems to me that ever since his interview on 60 Minutes with Leslie Stahl, the powers that be in the media have gone to the next step in their references to him. The first step is ignoring people who rock the boat. When that becomes impossible, the next step is to try to discredit the message. When they cannot win the battle based on facts, it is time for the next step, discrediting the messenger. Now it seems, Mr. Dobbs has become some sort of shrill racist, all because he speaks out on controversial issues, such as illegal immigration, from the politically incorrect (according to the one world powers that be) point of view. He has become the 'token' voice of the people on his network. Yet his audience keeps growing, unlike most of the other news shows on his network. His message is resonating with someone, obviously.

MR. BUFFETT GOES TO CHINA.

CNBC has been touting Warren Buffett’s trip to China, since they sent one of their anchors over there with him. In part of Becky Quick’s interview with Mr. Buffett that was aired 10/29, he was saying how impressed he was with the growth that is taking place over there. He said it is as good as anything America ever had, if ever, and certainly better than anything we have had in years. They both were especially impressed by all the new manufacturing facilities.

Of course, the politically incorrect cynical way of looking at all those impressive new manufacturing facilities going up mile after mile might be to say that they pretty much represent jobs which our government and their multinational benefactors have shipped overseas.
