-
-And what are we doing instead?
-
At 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 regimes around the world and
the European Union will rubber stamp it.
-
Virtually nobody won’t sign it.
-
I have 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 satisfaction of what is called, coyly,
-
a “climate debt,” because we’ve been burning CO2 and they
haven’t and we’ve been screwing up the climate -
-
we haven’t been screwing up the climate,
but that’s the line.
-
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,
-
and took over Greenpeace so that my friends
who founded it left within a year,
-
because they 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, he’ll sign anything.
-
He’s a Nobel Peace laureate;
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 resile from that treaty unless you get
the agreement from all the other states partisan -
-
because you’ll be the biggest paying country,
they’re not going to let you out.
-
So, thank you, America.
-
You were the beacon of freedom for the world.
-
It is a privilege merely to stand on this
soil of freedom while it is still free.
-
But, in the next few weeks, unless you stop
it, your president will sign your freedom,
-
your democracy, and your prosperity away forever.
-
And neither you nor any subsequent government you may elect will
have any power whatsoever to take it back again.
-
That is how serious it is.
-
I’ve read the treaty.
-
I’ve seen this stuff about government and climate debt and enforcement.
-
They are going to do this to you whether you like it or no.
-
But I think it is here - here in your great
nation, which I so love and I so admire –
-
it is here that perhaps, at this eleventh hour,
at the fifty-ninth minute and fifty-ninth second,
-
you will rise up and you will stop your president
from signing that dreadful treaty, that purposeless treaty.
-
For there is no problem with climate and, even if there were,
economically speaking there is nothing we can do about it.
-
So I end by saying to you the words
that Winston Churchill addressed to your president
-
in the darkest hour before the dawn of freedom in the Second World War.
-
He quoted from your great poet Longfellow:
-
Sail on, O Ship of State!
-
Sail on, O Union, strong and great!
-
Humanity with all its fears,
-
With all the hopes of future years,
-
Is hanging breathless on thy fate!
-
Thank you.
-
(applause)
