On October 14 Lord Christopher Monckton, former science adviser to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, gave a scathing refutation of the concept of man-caused global warming at Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota. He closed his presentation with a stern warning to Americans that President Obama will be signing a new climate change treaty (likely to be known as the Copenhagen Treaty) at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in early December and that this treaty will “impose a communist world government on the world.”

Here’s a four-minute video clip of Monckton's warning:

Click here for the current draft of the Copenhagen Treaty. Here’s a partial transcript of the remarks by Lord Monckton in the video above:

At [the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in] Copenhagen, this December, weeks away, a treaty will be signed. Your president will sign it. Most of the third world countries will sign it, because they think they’re going to get money out of it. Most of the left-wing regime from the European Union will rubber stamp it. Virtually nobody won’t sign it.

I read that treaty. And what it says is this, that a world government is going to be created. The word “government” actually appears as the first of three purposes of the new entity. The second purpose is the transfer of wealth from the countries of the West to third world countries, in satisfication of what is called, coyly, “climate debt” — because we’ve been burning CO₂ and they haven’t. We’ve been screwing up the climate and they haven’t. And the third purpose of this new entity, this government, is enforcement.

How many of you think that the word “election” or “democracy” or “vote” or “ballot” occurs anywhere in the 200 pages of that treaty? Quite right, it doesn’t appear once. So, at last, the communists who piled out of the Berlin Wall and into the environmental movement, who took over Greenpeace so that my friends who funded it left within a year, because [the communists] captured it — now the apotheosis as at hand. They are about to impose a communist world government on the world. You have a president who has very strong sympathies with that point of view. He’s going to sign it. He’ll sign anything. He’s a Nobel Peace Prize [winner]; of course he’ll sign it.

And the trouble is this; if that treaty is signed, your Constitution says that it takes precedence over your Constitution, and you can’t resign from that treaty unless you get agreement from all the other state parties – And because you’ll be the biggest paying country, they’re not going to let you out of it. [Text slightly revised based on checking transcript against the video.]

The above warning from Lord Monckton is understandably attracting a lot of attention in those conservative circles, including the John Birch Society, where warnings about the threat to American national sovereignty from a progressively strengthened United Nations have been taken very seriously for the past 50 years. In the context of recent House passage of a rigorous cap-and-trade energy tax to combat global warming and an upcoming vote on the UN Law of the Sea Treaty, the momentum is definitely there for the President to sign and the Senate to ratify a UN Copenhagen Treaty to minimize global warming.

Although the Copenhagen Treaty is definitely a real threat to our national sovereignty and personal freedom, it is important to note that Lord Monckton is wrong when he says that “if that treaty is signed, your Constitution says that it takes precedence over your Constitution.” Internationalists have claimed for decades that treaties supersede the U.S. Constitution, and over time many people who are not themselves internationalists have accepted this claim as fact. Yet this claim clashes with the intent of the Founding Fathers, who did not grant an unlimited treaty power enabling a treaty to accomplish what only a constitutional amendment could. As Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1803 regarding "those who consider the grant of the treaty-making power as boundless": "If it is, then we have no Constitution." (For more information on the Constitution's treaty-making power and the intent of the Founding Fathers, see Chapter 6 of Global Tyranny ... Step by Step by William F. Jasper.)

Nonetheless, even though the Constitution does not say that treaties have precedence over it, we know from recent actions by President Obama and the Congress, as well as from the widespread and longstanding disregard for the Constitution by previous administrations and Congresses, that our government  leaders would be only too happy to implement a UN Copenhagen Treaty on climate change within the United States.

The Copenhagen Treaty, the cap-and-trade bills in Congress, the Law of the Sea Treaty, healthcare reform legislation, etc., will continue to threaten our national sovereignty and personal freedom until enough Americans work together to get a majority of constitutionalists elected to Congress.

	... I warned people for over a year before the 2008 election that the election was was not about choosing between Democrat and Republican, or liberal and conservative, but between capitalism and socialism. But too few took me seriously. Maybe they will now, but time grows short when it will be too late to correct the mistake and restore our freedoms and sovereignty..

treaty "law" That is a great point about treaties not truly superseding the Constitution. If they could do that, the President could sign a treaty calling the US non-existent except as an functional appendage to a greater authority (for an extreme example). This is just as ridiculous as the UN claiming authority to execute any "laws" above other duly-constituted countries and their just laws. No body has fiat authority just because it is first to the trough to proclaim itself king. This is what the principles that gave rise to the Declaration and the US Constitution are all about: Lex Rex. Romans 13 does not preach unquestioning obedience. It preaches obedience in all lawful things; and also the limitation of government UNDER the God who ordained human government.

	Obama: Impeach and remove from office!!!! Obama not only needs to be not only impeached (assuming, that is, that congress has the guts necessary) but removed from office as well (unlike Comrade Clinton, who WAS impeached but not removed from office). And thank you, Mr. Henry, for mentioning not only Lex Rex but Romans 13 as well. The hour is very, very late indeed.

	Before we impeach Obama... We need to first ascertain that he legally holds the office of President of the United States. Circumstantial evidence indicates that he does not.

... From the first time I ever looked at Obama I said he looked evil. Now I know he really is. Read Revelations in the Bible! Many of the events that it says will happen as we get close to "the end" or second coming of Christ, are happening RIGHT NOW! One of the major things is a world government, not to mention many many other things. Read it, get right, or be sorry. Watch the "Left Behind" movie series. The anti-christ WILL form one world government, the anti-christ WILL do many things Obama is trying to do.

Dear Anonymous With respect, it's Revelation, not Revelations. That is a very common error but it's very important that the Word of God is not misrepresented in any way. It is singular in form as it is Revelation from the Lord Jesus Christ to the apostle John. Also, the theologians say that these United States has no part in the end times and is not even mentioned in the Bible, which tends to make me believe that we will have ceased to be of any importance when the events in Revelation come to pass. The most important place in the enitre world (and perhaps in the entire universe) is Israel/Jerusalem. Keep your eye on Israel as it is the Lord's time clock.

Constitutional treaties Constitutionally, a treaty does not go into effect until it is ratified by a two-thirds vote of the Senate. Lord Monckton seems to have glossed over that point – or does Lord Monckton think that Obama can enforce this treaty by unilateral executive agreement or decree? Either Lord Monckton does not understand our Constitution -- or he believes that Obama does not have to follow it. If Obama ignores the Senate's constitutional role in ratifying treaties, Americans who understand that enforcing the Constitution is what protects our liberty should be screaming to high heaven about what would be a clear breach of the Constitution. Aside from constitutional procedure, just by browsing through the topics of the treaty, one can easily see that the treaty would confiscate our country’s wealth and violate intellectual property rights through the very deliberate redistribution policies of the treaty -- all in the name of protecting the planet, but really for the establishment of worldwide collectivism. In Chapter 6 of William F. Jasper's book -- http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/global_tyranny/global_tyranny06.htm -- you can see that collectivists have been trying to establish worldwide collectivism through unconstitutional treaties for decades. Furthermore, a consideration of the original intent of the Framers shows that no treaty may change our Constitution. Since this treaty would clearly do so, it is unconstitutional. The hour is late, but Americans still have a chance to learn enough about the Constitution to stand up and defend it – while we still can.

History always repeats... "Constitutionally, a treaty does not go into effect until it is ratified by a two-thirds vote of the Senate." The Senate voted to pass the PATRIOT ACT. Why do you think they wouldn't vote to pass another unconstitutional yoke to further burden the People they are pledged to serve? BTW, 0bama studied the Constitution for the express purpose of circumventing it. The usurper only believes in exploiting loopholes.

Sherri from Atlanta I have been watching Jack VanImpe for many many years...back in the day when the EU was indeed the EC or European Community. Even before then, it had a much less authoritative name. Jack has just stated that the last prophecy to be fulfilled per the Bible is the Peace Treaty. This treaty that is being prepared, in my opinion, IS the treaty. Jack has had more passionate warnings for years and with this latest act to pass a treaty? It is here folks. Yes, I agree that America is the "Paper Lion" and of not much use AFTER the rapture, however, until then, we are the most powerful. If Obama, who is merely a token, is allowed to continue to go around the laws of this land and act against "WE THE PEOPLE" then we will be dust. I want to thank you Lord Christopher for appearing on Fox with Glenn Beck. I know you have irritated those that have been plotting against our very core, freedom. You are my hero. Thank you for using the freedom of the internet, the freedom of speech via television and any other way you can until it is too late to have a voice. Maybe you have decoyed those that want to be "The Anti-Christ"...even though he is not savvy nor intelligent enough. He is certainly wrecking our country and we need more men of greatness as yourself to combat what is obvious sabatoge and destruction! Let us all pray.

Don't fret, Sherri. Our Second Amendment illustrates our right and duty to prevent our demise, both as a people and as a nation. The world can do as it pleases, but America is to be held to a higher standard. It falls on We the People to ensure that standard is met and never diminished in the name of global solidarity. Rebelling against tyranny won't be easy, but it will be pleasing to God to watch our resistance. It will demonstrate our will to protect the life that He gave us from even the most formidable of foes.
