Jon Christian Ryter – Clinton Signs Gun Ban Treaty

http://www.jonchristianryter.com/2010/100524.html

etween April 29 and May 8, 1995 the UN's 9th Annual Commission on Crime
Prevention and Criminal Justice met in Cairo, Egypt to implement UN Resolution 9, a
139-page entitled the Universal Declaration of Principles on Firearm Regulation. The
document known as Resolution 9 made its way to Vienna, Austria where newly-
installed UN Secretary General Kofi Annan referred to Resolution 9 as the UN Global Gun
Ban Treaty. According to Annan this treaty, when implemented, would prevent crime by
making gun violations international offenses. One of the provisions in Resolution 9, of course,
would bar ordinary honest citizens anywhere in the world from owning firearms.

Attempts by the United Nations to ban the legal ownership of firearms in the industrialized
nations (since the UN is powerless in the lawless nations of the world) began as early as 1955
when the UN convened the UN Economic and Social Council [ECOSOC] which organized the
international congresses that created the International Penal and Penitentiary Commission
[IPPC] and then began to create the "tools" the UN would need to wipe out crime in the
world. High up on their agenda—or rather, the only thing on their real agenda—was outlawing
the private ownership of guns possessed by lawful citizens around the world since unarmed
civilians with pitchforks are no match for soldiers armed with automatic weapons.

Assuming that lawful people purchase weapons legally and criminals and terrorists purchase
illicit weapons from gun traffickers (a fact that has eluded the tunnel-vision minds of the US
Congress since Franklin D. Roosevelt attempted to legislatively erase the 2nd Amendment

in 1933), on July 28, 1998 as the UN Global Gun Ban Treaty began making its way around
the world, the UN Economic and Social Council adopted a resolution to combat the illicit
manufacturing and trafficking in firearms in Russia, China, Israel, Indonesia and several
third world rogue states. On Dec. 9, 1998 the UN General Assembly, without a vote, adopted
Resolution 53/111, an instrument outlawing the illicit manufacturing and trafficking of
firearms, their parts and the ammunition needed to make them lethal weapons.

On the surface, as you read various UN reports or those prepared by Congress or by the
Council on Foreign Relations you walk away with the illusion that all the UN has been trying
to do is eliminate the availability of illicit weapons from rogue states to keep them from falling
into the hands of organized street gangs, the Mafia and radical terrorist organizations. The
reality behind the UN's Global Gun Ban
Treaty has nothing to do with stopping rogue
nations from buying illicit weapons from
other rogue nations since outlaws pay no
attention to the Law of Nations and couldn't
care less what any law forbids them from
doing. The attempt to disarm every civilian
on Earth has nothing to do with the need for
a safer world. It has to do with
governments, who are in the pockets of the
world's wealthiest industrialists and the
barons of banking and business, who fear
their own citizens. When government
fears its citizens, disarming them is an
imperative.

This imperative was first outlined in 1961 in a document entitled "Freedom from War: The
United States Program for General and Complete Disarmament in a Peaceful World."
(http://www.jonchristianryter.com/2005/053105.html)

Most people know this document as State Department Publication

7277. The authors of the Council on Foreign Relations plan promoted by
President John F. Kennedy were CFR members Dean Rusk,
Kennedy's Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense Robert
McNamara, and presidential advisors John J. McCloy and Robert
Lovett. The plan called for the unilateral disarming of the United States
and the forced disarmament of all of its people, preparing them for
entrance into the global society of the New World Order—30 years before
President George H.W. Bush referred to the coalition of ruling nations
as the New World Order.

When the co-presidency of Bill and Hillary Clinton took office on Jan. 20, 1993, they
assumed the covert task of finding a way to get every handgun, shotgun, rifle and
semiautomatic rifle out of the hands of America's hunters and home guardians before the
United States, Canada and Mexico were merged into an "American Union" much like the

Page 2 of 9
Jon Christian Ryter – Clinton Signs Gun Ban Treaty

European Union. Ask most American gun owners who's responsible for the efforts to erase
the 2nd Amendment and most Americans will blame Bill and Hillary Clinton.

That's why it shouldn't have surprised anyone when Secretary of State Hillary Rodham
Clinton quietly, and with no media fanfare, unobtrusively signed the UN Small Arms Treaty
Resolution on May 19 as the American people were preoccupied with the sludge in the Gulf of
Mexico contaminating the shoreline of Louisiana with oil from the Deepwater Horizon oil
platform disaster. According to US law, treaties must be ratified by the US Senate before they
are signed by the President of the United States. The signature of the Secretary of States,
while indicative of the intent of the nation to sign and ratify the document is preliminary, but
not binding on the signatory nation until it is signed by the head of State. However, under the
common law of Europe, based on Emil de Vattel's Law of Nations, while the signature of a
nation's emissary does not legally bind the nation to the contract, it does obligate that nation
to act in accordance with the terms of the treaty until such time as that nation's Senate or
Parliament accepts or rejects the treaty. If the Senate fails to act on the treaty by either
ratifying it or rejecting it, the signature of the Secretary of State will perpetually bind the
nation to the terms of the treaty.

The globalist princes of industry, barons of banking and business' battle to win the war
against the peoples of the world who do not want their nations merged into a stateless
cauldron that serves the financial interests of the wealthy few but is detrimental to the best
interests of the people who will resist those efforts until the means to do so are taken from
them. Which, of course, was the reason for 1955 efforts of the United Nations, based on plans
structured by the Council on Foreign Relations to ban the private ownership of guns
worldwide, and the reason for the Kennedy-era State Department Publication 7277
which outlined the plans to not only disarm all of the nation-states of the world, but all of the
people of the world as well.

Hillary Clinton's signature on the UN Small Arms Trade Treaty Resolution was the first
step. One hundred fifty-two nations—including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on behalf
of Barack Obama—have signed the resolution that establishes 2012 as the date
when the nations of the world will vote to strip the American people of their
2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms. When the Global Gun Ban Treaty is
formalized by the UN General Assembly and ratified by all member States—including the
United States (whose UN Ambassador will be an Obama flunky), the 2nd Amendment to the
Constitution will have been breached.

When asked about the constitutional ramifications of the UN Small Arms Treaty Resolution,
a talking head for the Obama Administration was quick to say under the current view of
the US Supreme Court that "...no reinterpretation of the 2nd Amendment is likely, even if
Obama's nominee Elena Kagan is confirmed." There is, however a fly in the ointment of that
statement which, of course, was not made by the Supreme Court or by a spokesperson for the
Supremes, since they are generally mute on questions of guesswork. It is important to note
that under Article VI § 2 of the Constitution we read: "The Constitution and the Laws of the
United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or
which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the
supreme law of the land, and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby,
anything in the in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary
notwithstanding."

When the UN Global Gun Ban Treaty made its way across Europe, I watched one country
after another ratify it and surrender the rights of their citizens to own firearms. In June, 1997
British Prime Minister Tony Blair led the Labor Party to a 384 to 181 vote victory to ban the
private ownership of guns in England. Brits were given 120 days to surrender any handguns
and most rifles and all but the most primitive shotguns to authorities.

During that 4 month period, they were given the fair market value for their weapons. When
the grace period expired, they would be charged with a felony if they were caught with a
banned weapon. One-by-one, all of the nations of the British Empire were pressured into
ratifying the treaty and surrendering their weapons. Gunless England is now the crime
capital of Europe because thieves, home invaders, and rapists no longer worry
what is on the other side of the door. They know, on the other side of the door, are
defenseless victims. Fifty-five out of every 100 Brits experience "contact crimes"—assaults,
robberies, rapes or murders as compared to the United States with a 1.3% contact crime rate.
Yet, the social progressives on Capitol Hill refer to the United States as the "gun capital of the
world" suggesting by implication that the crime rate in the United States is the highest in the
world.

Brits are now demanding that the government undo the laws enacted to outlaw the private
ownership of guns, and restore their right to protect themselves against heavily armed thugs,
muggers and rapists. The British government which needed to ban the private ownership of
guns before it could surrender its sovereignty to the European Union, knows it can't let its
citizens get their guns back.

Today, Brits are protesting in the streets for the restoration of their gun rights. The UN Global
Gun Ban Treaty, which has been signed by 152 nations—including England—is not likely to
yield an inch to the British commoners whom have once again been reduced to serfdom. To
win back the freedom they lost when they surrendered their only means of self-defense to
their government will require another Revolution known as the Puritan Wars that overthrew
James II of England, and ultimately installed William III of Orange as monarch, and
placed the power of governance in the hands of the Parliament.

Also, while suicides by gun have reduced dramatically in Australia since the Australian
government also banned the private ownership of guns, gun violence through assaults,
robberies and rape has increased 11 fold in Australia since criminals, who do not buy legal
guns, know their prey is no longer armed. Violent crimes in Australia, which was below 100
per 100 thousand population when Aussies were armed is now over 700 per 100 thousand. I
could cite statistic after statistic to show that when populations are disarmed, crime rises—
usually very dramatically. Make guns legal, crime drops. Make owning firearms mandatory
and crime becomes almost nonexistent. If you missed it the first couple of times I said it,
banning guns has nothing to do with curbing crime and everything to do with
government fearing the people it is screwing out of their liberty.

When the 1997 Global Gun Ban Treaty began making its way around the world, then
Congresswoman Helen Chenoweth-Hage [R-ID] was preparing for her third and final
congressional campaign. (Helen died in a one car accident on Oct. 2, 2006 near Tonopath,
Nevada. See: http://www.jonchristianryter.com/2006/100306.html). Chenoweth feared
that if the Democrats regained control of the US Senate in 1998 they would ratify the UN
Global Gun ban Treaty. She also knew that then President Bill Clinton, who was in bed with

Page 4 of 9

the globalists behind the plot to create global government would sign the treaty, causing a
constitutional crisis in the United States.

As reiterated above, while the Obama White House insisted that the US Supreme Court
would protect the sanctity of the 2nd Amendment, Chenoweth made it clear in several
political campaign ads at the time that a 1937 high court decision held that international
treaties, based on Article VI, superseded the Constitution. The purpose of giving treaties the
weight of constitutional law was a "correction" to the Articles of Confederation in which
treaties had to be ratified individually by all of the States before they became valid. It never
occurred to the Founding Fathers that the other nations of the world would use their treaty-
making power to weaken the United States by banning the private ownership of guns of its
citizens. At the end of World War II, when Americans were questioning Japan's
war planners, the question was raised why the Japanese had no war plans
prepared for an invasion of the United States. The Japanese high command
responded that an invasion of America was never contemplated because they
knew, in the United States, there was a gun behind every blade of grass. Japan
knew there were not enough soldiers in the world to launch a successful
invasion of the United States. The American government knows the same thing about its
own people. As long as the people of the United States possess a constitutional right to own
firearms, this nation cannot be overthrown by its government.

Most Americans remember the massacre at Luby's Cafeteria in Kileen, Texas from 12:35 to
12:51 p.m. on Oct. 16, 1991 when George Jo Hennard, Jr. decided to commit suicide by
taking a lot of people with him.
He drove his pickup truck
through the plate glass window
at Luby's Cafeteria and opened
fire with a Glock 17 and a Ruger
P-89 pistol. After killing 23
people and wounding 20
others, Hennard shot himself
in the head. Among the
survivors of the massacre was
Suzanna Gratia Hupp, who
lost both of her parents in the
slaughter. Testifying before a
gun-ban hungry US Senate a
few months later, and listening
to a litany of anti-gun social
progressives, it was finally
Gratia-Hupp's turn to speak.
What she told a shocked
Senate, who was expecting to
use her story to help their
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvTO-y-B2YM

cause, was: "I've been sitting here getting more and more fed up with all this talk about
these...pieces of machinery...having no legitimate sporting purpose. No legitimate hunting
purpose. People, that is not the point of the 2nd Amendment. The 2nd Amendment is not

Page 5 of 9
Jon Christian Ryter – Clinton Signs Gun Ban Treaty

about duck hunting. And, I know I'm not going to make very many friends here saying this,
but its about our rights...all of our rights...to be able to protect ourselves from all of you
guys..." motioning to the US Senators on the dais.

If you think Gratia-Hupp was wrong in her statement, consider the oral and written view of
the US Supreme Court when it ruled on US v Miller 307 US 174 in 1939. Justice William O.
Douglas (an FDR appointee) noted on the record that "...based on the privileges
standardized by the States in the 18th century..." (which was, and still is, the superior
government of the United States) "...the general public—not the State-controlled militias—
has to be as well-armed as its central government since the people, and the
States, view the federal government as much, if not more, a threat to liberty
than any foreign intruder on American soil." It was US v Miller that decided the US
government to do its best to keep gun cases out of the Supreme Court. When District of
Columbia v Heller arrived at the Supreme Court, after DC's gun ban was struck down by the
US District Court for DC and the decision upheld at the appellate level, the high court once
again ruled in favor of the people. The high court ruled that municipalities could not enact
laws that superseded the Bill of Rights. Thus far, every attempt from Congress to enact a
constitutional amendment to repeal the 2nd Amendment died before the ink on the
proposition dried.

In the waning days of the 105th Congress, Chenoweth-Hage proffered a Constitutional

Amendment—the American Sovereignty Amendment—that would have prevented any treaty
that contained language which implied that any foreign power or international organization
was equal or legally superior in matters of domestic jurisdiction could be not voted on in the
US Senate until that language was struck from the document being considered, and the treaty
rewritten to protect both the internal and external sovereignty of the United States of
America. Shockingly, Chenoweth could not get enough support from her own Party to move
the legislation to the floor for a vote. The institutionalized Republicans in the House and
Senate who were in bed with Big Money were afraid to vote to protect the interests of their
own constituents. Every institutionalized member of Congress on both sides of the aisle know
that the road to Utopia, paved with gold from wealthy donors, had already been claimstaked
by the New World Order. When the job becomes more important to the legislator
than the country, its time to get rid of the legislator.

When Chenoweth proposed the American Sovereignty Amendment she knew two things.
First, she knew that Article VI posed a serious problem when the Global Gun Ban Treaty was
ratified in the UN General Assembly, or when it popped up from where it had been
surreptitiously inserted in some innocuous piece of legislation and, like any bill, had been
passed by both the House and Senate and signed into law by Bill Clinton or his successor.
Second, she knew that, in 1937 the US Supreme Court enforced the 1916 Migratory Bird
Treaty between the United States and Mexico which divided birds into three categories: game
birds, insectivores (which were protected and could not be killed) and a third category of
pretty birds that were protected simply because they were nice to look at. Only game birds
were exempt from protection. Conservationists with the help of Sen. Elijah Root [D-NY],
fashioned a treaty between the United States and Mexico that protected all migratory birds
from hunters. Root attempted to create a North American treaty that included Canada, but it
appears that only Mexico and the United States actually signed it. When the State of Missouri
authorized the shooting of Missourian game birds which were classified as migratory birds
under the terms of the Migratory Bird Treaty, the conservationists sued in federal court.

Page 6 of 9

Missouri argued that under the 10th Amendment, they had the right to hunt birds in the State
in Missouri. Root, who argued the case before the Supreme Court on behalf of the
conservationists, insisted that Article VI of the Constitution trumped the 10th Amendment.
The Supreme Court agreed with Root. Missourians were not allowed to hunt any game birds
that seasonally migrated outside of the borders of the State.

Granted, the 2nd Amendment is a much more important issue since the right to possess
firearms is a basic American right. But then, in Missouri, in 1937, so was duck, quail or
pheasant hunting. With an established precedent, Chenoweth-Hage knew that when the
UN Global Gun Treaty was formally ratified by a sufficient number of nation-states around
the world; and was either formally ratified by the US Senate, or the Senate fails to reject
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's ceremonial signing of it, the legality of the 2nd
Amendment will be challenged in the US Supreme Court. If, as the talking heads of the
Obama Administration contend, the legality of the 2nd Amendment is upheld as an
American right, the globalists will appeal to the World Court in the Hague. I suspect that
based on the Migratory Bird Treaty decision by the Supreme Court—Chenoweth's fear—
the high court will rule that the Global Gun Ban Treaty, with Article VI as its ace-in-the-hole,
trumps the 2nd Amendment.

The question, "has Barack Obama found a legal way around the 2nd
Amendment?" has now been answered. The answer, even with Obama's sputtering
that [a] he doesn't want to do it, and [b] the Supreme Court says it can't be done, is a
resounding "yes." Obama knows it, and expects this ace-in-the-hole will keep him in office—
long after 2016. While the liberal Anneberg Public Policy Center, in defending their boy in the
White House, insists that a complete ban on all weapons for US citizens isn't possible under
the US Constitution which held in District of Columbia v Heller on June 26, 2008 that "...the
enshrinement of constitutional rights necessarily takes certain policy choices off the table.
These include the absolute prohibition of handguns held and used for self-defense in the
home."

I would have felt much better if the 2008 Supreme Court quoted William O. Douglas' view
that the people need to be as well-armed as its government since the government of the
United States, which declared its people to be enemies of the government in 1933, poses a
more immediate threat to the citizens of the United States than does Al Qaeda, China, the
Soviet Union or North Korea. The Anneberg Center further noted that when the Global Gun
Ban Treaty shows up for a Senate vote, it requires two-thirds of the Senate to ratify it.
Actually, it does not. According to the Law of Nations, since Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton ceremoniously signed it, the Senate can simply ignore the treaty, binding the terms
of the UN Global Gun Ban Treaty on the people of the United States until such time as the
Senate accepts or rejects it.

On Oct. 28, 2009, the UN General Assembly voted 153 to 1 to move ahead with plans to put
into place a formal Global Gun Ban Treaty and have it ready for a preliminary vote in 2012.
While the 2012 debate is theoretically going to be centered on outlawing the illicit trade of
illegal small arms everyone involved in the debate clearly understands the purpose of the
debate is to backdoor a complete and absolute ban on the private ownership of
small arms by all private citizens anywhere in the world.

Jon Christian Ryter – Clinton Signs Gun Ban Treaty

As the Obama talking heads attempted to minimize what is going to take place, on Nov. 6,
2009 former UN Ambassador John Bolton made this statement about the Obama
Administration that the American people must heed before its too late: "The
administration is trying to act as though this is really just a treaty about international arms
trade between nation-states. But there's no doubt—as was the case back over a decade ago—
that the real agenda is domestic firearms control. After the treaty is approved and it comes
into force, you will find out that it requires Congress to adopt some measures that restrict
ownership of firearms. The [Obama] administration knows it cannot obtain this kind of
legislation purely in a domestic context. They will use an international agreement as an
excuse to get domestically what they couldn't [get] otherwise."

The Annenberg Center argued in defense of the position that under the Global Gun Ban
Treaty no nation's right to private gun ownership is threatened by the Treaty, citing UN
General Assembly Resolution A/C.I/64/L.38/Rev.1, of Oct. 28 (made just before the 158
to 1 vote) in which the UN pledged that each nation-state has the right to regulate internal
transfers of arms including through national constitutional protections on private ownership
exclusively within their territory—which was a caveat demanded by Clinton. The Annenberg
Center further noted that since the election, Obama has not pushed his promised gun
control measures through Congress as though to suggest Obama is not as rabidly antigun as
he was as candidate Obama. When you expect a total and complete ban on the private
ownership of firearms without doing anything, why expend political capital that does not
need to be expended in order to win?

Here is what the American people absolutely need to know. There is a midterm
election in November of this year. If conservatives do not take back both Houses of Congress
with enough of a Republican majority to successfully impeach Barack Obama, Nancy
Pelosi, Harry Reid, Barney Frank, Joe Biden and about 50 federal judges within the
first 60 days of the 112th Congress, install a new President and Vice President, and nullify
every law and every political appointment made by Obama and the 111th Congress (since an
illegal alien cannot sign bills into law, nor can he appoint federal judges or other political
appointees), you can expect the gunless Election of 2012 to be the type of sham Adolph
Hitler used to gain supreme power in Germany in 1933. After disarming the German people,
it took Adolph Hitler exactly 39 days to overthrow the German Republic, destroy its written
Constitution and become the dictator of the Third Reich. Kõnnen Sie sagan, "Heil,
Barack"? (Can you say, "Heil, Barack?")

The author of these works has been writing since the mid-1980s. He is a former newspaper
reporter who wrote for the Parkersburg, WV Sentinel. The author also wrote a syndicated
newspaper column from the mid-1970s until 1986 entitled Answers From the Bible, which
had a weekly following of over a half million people.

It was during this period, when the author expanded the topic of his column to include
contemporary social and political issues, that he began receiving threats of violence that
included three death threats from those who did not like the conservative political tone in the
author's writings.

In 1996 the author's first book, The Baffled Christian's Handbook was published. The author
had, by that time, written over 500 articles on a plethora of subjects.

Today, the author works for The Washington Times as an advertising executive where he now
interacts with some of the most notable conservative advocacy groups in the United States on
a much more personal level than most traditional reporters are able. In addition, his Internet
website, Jon Christian Ryter's Conservative World, has helped him establish a network of
mid-to senior-level Washington insiders who now provide the writer with a steady stream of
material to use both in his books and in the investigative reports found on his website.
