U.S. agrees to timetable for UN Gun Ban
The United Nations and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are moving forward with their plan to confiscate your guns.
The United States joined 152 other countries in support of the Arms Trade Treaty Resolution, which establishes the dates for the 2012 UN conference intended to attack American sovereignty by stripping Americans of the right to keep and bear arms.
Working groups of anti-gun countries will begin scripting language for the conference this year, creating a blueprint for other countries when they meet at the full conference.

URGENT: Hillary Clinton Signs UN Small Arms Treaty
U.S. reverses stance on treaty to regulate arms trade
Reuters) – The United States reversed policy on Wednesday and said it would back launching talks on a treaty to regulate arms sales as long as the talks operated by consensus, a stance critics said gave every nation a veto.
The decision, announced in a statement released by the U.S. State Department, overturns the position of former President George W. Bush’s administration, which had opposed such a treaty on the grounds that national controls were better.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the United States would support the talks as long as the negotiating forum, the so-called Conference on the Arms Trade Treaty, “operates under the rules of consensus decision-making.”
“Consensus is needed to ensure the widest possible support for the Treaty and to avoid loopholes in the Treaty that can be exploited by those wishing to export arms irresponsibly,” Clinton said in a written statement.
While praising the Obama administration’s decision to overturn the Bush-era policy and to proceed with negotiations to regulate conventional arms sales, some groups criticized the U.S. insistence that decisions on the treaty be unanimous.
“The shift in position by the world’s biggest arms exporter is a major breakthrough in launching formal negotiations at the United Nations in order to prevent irresponsible arms transfers,” Amnesty International and Oxfam International said in a joint statement.
However, they said insisting that decisions on the treaty be made by consensus “could fatally weaken a final deal.”
“Governments must resist US demands to give any single state the power to veto the treaty as this could hold the process hostage during the course of negotiations. We call on all governments to reject such a veto clause,” said Oxfam International’s policy adviser Debbie Hillier.
The proposed legally binding treaty would tighten regulation of, and set international standards for, the import, export and transfer of conventional weapons.
Supporters say it would give worldwide coverage to close gaps in existing regional and national arms export control systems that allow weapons to pass onto the illicit market.
Nations would remain in charge of their arms export control arrangements but would be legally obliged to assess each export against criteria agreed under the treaty. Governments would have to authorize transfers in writing and in advance.
The main opponent of the treaty in the past was the U.S. Bush administration, which said national controls were better. Last year, the United States accounted for more than two-thirds of some $55.2 billion in global arms transfer deals.
Arms exporters China, Russia and Israel abstained last year in a U.N. vote on the issue.
The proposed treaty is opposed by conservative U.S. think tanks like the Heritage Foundation, which said last month that it would not restrict the access of “dictators and terrorists” to arms but would be used to reduce the ability of democracies such as Israel to defend their people.
The U.S. lobbying group the National Rifle Association has also opposed the treaty.
A resolution before the U.N. General Assembly is sponsored by seven nations including major arms exporter Britain. It calls for preparatory meetings in 2010 and 2011 for a conference to negotiate a treaty in 2012.

The NRA website claims Hillary has NOT signed the UN small arms treaty.
Remember companies like Enron and
WorldCom? They were run unethically
and top people were found guilty of
crimes.
! It’s time to come to terms with
just how unethical big media
companies are in our country and to
take action to protect ourselves from
journalistic malpractice. Top reporters
dominating the media landscape not
only don’t represent our interests, they
are perpetrating a massive fraud on
the public. There is widespread corruption in the media and top
pundits are pushing manipulative and dangerous lies. You can see
their lies exposed at: YouTube.com/RepresentativePress
! Tinyurl.com/WarPropagandaExposed links to a playlist of
videos, the first one debunks the biggest lie elites are using right
now in order to justify a war with Iran. It has over 460,000 views
but we need to reach more to gain a foothold in public discourse.
We can reach more people if we pass these links on to others.
The second video in the playlist exposes CBS’s 60 Minutes
editing out the President of Iran’s call for a peaceful solution to the
Israel-Palestine conflict: democracy. (cutting his answer off in midsentence.)
The video shows how Mike Wallace deceives viewers
with misleading narration – and see what they didn’t air! He has not
only gotten away with this fraud, they gave him an EMMY for it!
! The media has been fabricating threats and underreporting
statements like this: “We will never start a war. We have no intention of
going to war with any state.” We must not allow the media to push us
into another fraudulent war! See proof: bit.ly/IraqLie It’s time to
take action, you can help build up this platform to expose these
warmongers — download a PDF of this flyer here: bit.ly/GetPDF
then make copies & distribute them. There’s strength in numbers … .:
Tinyurl.com/JoinEmail & Tinyurl.com/SubToChannel helps too. x
! You can cut these flyers in half and distribute them that way
or pass them out as is & ask people to cut them in half and give them to others.
Just try to take our guns from us Hillary and UN, you don’t know the American people too well, we will fight to the death for our rights!
