''It is the experience of most of us that nothing happens by accident in politics and government and when something happens it was planned to happen.''
At the UN conference in September Barack Obama stated that the United States won’t solve the world’s problems and that we needed "…a new era of engagement with the world. Now is the time for all of us to take our share of responsibility for a global response to global challenges."
This speech stuck in my mind as familiar to other research I had done a couple of years ago. Then I remembered a very similar set of goals issued by the UN in what it called the Millennium Project or the Millennium Development Goals. I remember this because some friends and I, after hearing Candidate Obama speech on global poverty, discussed the need to focus on America before we can fix the world.
So I started looking up my data on the UN’s Millennium Development Goals (MDG) and I started to wonder just whose agenda was being sought here, that of the ambitious young Senator or the global governance seeking UN.
Here is the MDG list taken directly from their website:
1. Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger2. Achieve universal primary education3. promote gender equality and empower women4. Reduce child mortality5. Improve maternal health6. Combat HIV/AIDS7. Ensure Environmental Sustainability8. Develop a global partnership for development.
Notice a striking similarity to the goals of the President. Now to be fair Obama ran on more than just these items but the odds of a coincidence that he would support as his platform to “fundamentally change America” with every goal of the MDG pales beyond the coincidental.
At the least this raises the question of whether this president is pushing his vision of America or the vision of the United Nations. http://www.newswithviews.com/LeMieux/michael102.htm
