Behind the thin veil of democracy, special interest groups, bureaucracies, political elites and the likes feeding on the money forcefully extracted from the people are engaged in an uninhibited free-for-all to collect their prize.
In a frenzy for loot, the West has ceased to be a civilization, becoming a mass producer of irrational outcomes of the most dangerous kind.
When will the public begin to understand that Western countries are the most corrupt, irrational and systematically immoral force worldwide?
The West has been involved in a massive, unilateral crusade against the Muslim world for decades, but the media speak of an "Islamofascist Jihad" threatening our part of the world, something that has never taken place.
Iran is to be attacked because it is supposedly dominated by a dictator [sic] irrationally bent on nuking the West, or undermining its culture, or conquering it, or...
The frightening thing is that the West's actions increasingly add up to something very irrational and, unlike its imaginary enemies, it has the resources to act out its irrationality powerfully and recklessly - and it does not care who the victims of it all will be, that is: including itself.
Courtesy of the Competitive Enterprise Institute, here is another example of the self-dissolution of the traditions that once gave the West the ability to discover, understand and care for modern civilization:
“The Law of the Sea Treaty would assert United Nations control over all ocean resources and channel all mining and development through a vast new U.N.-created bureaucracy,” explained Fred L. Smith, Jr., president of the Competitive Enterprise Institute.
“NGO environmental groups would use provisions in the treaty to force Kyoto-type climate change regulations on the U.S., all without a single vote in Congress,” Smith added. “Ratification of LOST will almost certainly lead to judicially-implemented restrictions on CO2 emissions.”
Despite the implications of ratification, the Senate has held only two hearings on these important issues, both by the pro-treaty Foreign Relations Committee.
Washington, D.C., October 23, 2007—With United Nations Day celebrations coming up on October 24, Senate Democrats are leading an effort to pass the Law of the Sea Treaty, which would cede massive powers to a new U.N. bureaucracy.
“If our lawmakers are determined to push through this disastrous treaty, they should at least vet it before committees responsible for national security, economic oversight, environment, agriculture, commerce, and the military,” said Smith.
