WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- NEW WORLD DISORDER Guam, Virgin Islands, Samoa pried from U.S.? United Nations plans to strip America, UK of 17 territories ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- By Anthony LoBaido © 2000 WorldNetDaily.com NEW YORK -- A special United Nations group will meet this week to strategize the "eradication of colonialism" -- that is, the divestment from the U.S. and other "colonial powers" -- of 17 territories, including the U.S. possessions Guam, American Samoa, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The U.N. Special Forum on Decolonization is slated to convene on Tuesday in the Marshall Islands to discuss the future of "the remaining 17 non-self governing territories," 15 of which are U.S. and UK territories. The "Special Committee on the Situation with regard to the Implementation of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples" -- known as the "Special Committee of 24" -- will hold its "Pacific regional seminar" from Tuesday through Thursday. The Marshall Islands were acquired by the United States during World War II in the course of the many battles in the Pacific. "The seminar will assess the achievements of the International Decade for the Eradication of Colonialism, the role of the Special Committee of 24, and the political and socioeconomic conditions of nearly 2 million people in the remaining 17 Non-Self-Governing Territories," states the U.N.'s website. "The seminar is the last of the series of regional seminars held within the framework of the International Decade due to conclude in 2000 and in accordance with the Plan of Action adopted under General Assembly resolutions 46/181 and 54/91." >From the U.N.'s website, these are the "17 remaining non-self governing territories," many of which are considered important to British and American national security: Western Sahara, American Samoa (United States), East Timor (under the United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor, established by Security Council resolution 1272 (1999) of 25 October 1999), Guam (United States), New Caledonia (France), Pitcairn (United Kingdom), Tokelau (New Zealand), Anguilla (United Kingdom), Bermuda (United Kingdom), British Virgin Islands (United Kingdom), Cayman Islands (United Kingdom), Falkland Islands / Malvinas (United Kingdom), Gibraltar (United Kingdom), Montserrat (United Kingdom), St. Helena (United Kingdom), Turks and Caicos Islands (United Kingdom), and the United States Virgin Islands (United States). The seminar will be presided over by Peter D. Donigi, the Permanent Representative of Papua, New Guinea to the United Nations and the Chairman of the Special Committee. Assisting in the seminar will be the seven members of the Special Committee participating in the event -- Bolivia, Ivory Coast, Cuba, India, Iran, the Russian Federation and Syria. "The discussions will contribute to the formulation of concrete proposals for measures that can be taken by the Special Committee, the administering Powers, and the specialized agencies and the international community at large, which would enable the peoples of these Territories to exercise their right to choose their own political future in accordance with the resolutions of the General Assembly," states the United Nations website. "The conclusions or recommendations of the seminar will also assist the Special Committee of 24 in carrying out its own evaluation of the achievements of the International Decade for the Eradication of Colonialism and in formulating its future work plans." The U.N.'s push to divest America of its possessions is unilateral and without the consent of the U.S. Congress. At the same time, U.N.-sanctioned organizations promoting independence for the State of Hawaii have been seen handing out literature in Honolulu at various high-profile events. What effect the loss of these territories would have on U.S. national security and that of its allies is unclear and the issue is certain, eventually, to provoke an intense debate at the highest levels of the U.S. government. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Anthony C.
