THE FEARFUL MASTER by D. Edward Griffith (author of THE CREATURE FROM JEKYLL ISLAND)

This book, published about 1965, is an analytic expose of the UN. The reader will be struck with how little has changed since then. The following link is a source of downloads in varying formats, along with the option of reading on line. A brief excerpt concludes this email.

I highly recommend this book. 

(To those concerned about Obama becoming Secretary-General: No citizen of the nations comprising the Permanent Security Council has ever been Secretary-General. Obama [or his masters] faces a singularly difficult task in gaining the appointment.)

EXCERPT:

It was the year 1920 that marked the beginning of a long chain of events leading up to this 

present repudiation of our traditional American concept of limited government. It was in 

that year that the Supreme Court (in Missouri v. Holland) reversed its previous position 

and declared that a federal law, which was otherwise unconstitutional, must be considered 

valid if it is in accordance with a treaty. In one fell swoop, nine men completely 

undermined our Bill of Rights and all other constitutional safeguards that had been so 

painstakingly erected by our Founding Fathers. While many years were to pass before the 

full impact of this sweeping decision was to be felt in our everyday lives, still, the brakes 

had been released, and the massive machinery of totalitarianism began to inch forward. 

What this means is that America has now reached the point where it is legally possible for 

the President to issue orders to enforce some agreement which he himself has made with 

another government or with the United Nations, and these orders are absolute and final 

with no recourse to constitutional safeguards. 

Recent presidents have not yet dared to exercise more than a small fraction of that power, 

knowing that, legal or not, they would have trouble enforcing such edicts. Nevertheless, 

the lever of raw dictatorship is fully operable any time the Chief Executive wishes to throw 

it.

 

President Truman tugged at it gently when he committed us to war in Korea. Remember 

when only Congress could declare war and send American boys to battle? Truman simply 

changed the name from "war" to "police action" and issued a decree. He was acting on the 

authority placed in him, not by the United States Government, but by the United Nations 

Charter.16 

He pushed at the lever again when he decided to seize some steel mills with uniformed 

soldiers. How many Americans stopped to wonder where the President got the power to 

Recent presidents have not yet dared to exercise more than a small fraction of that power, 

knowing that, legal or not, they would have trouble enforcing such edicts. Nevertheless, 

the lever of raw dictatorship is fully operable any time the Chief Executive wishes to throw 

it.
