The UN has begun meetings in order to give them more power over the world’s oceans.
The United Nations has launched a far-reaching initiative that could give U.N.-sponsored authorities sway over the biological resources of the high seas—all the waters that lie outside national territories and economic zones.
The potential shift in power involves multi-trillion-dollar issues, such as whether large areas—conceivably, as much as 30 percent– of the world’s international waters should be designated as no-go areas to protect biological diversity; whether and how to require elaborate “environmental impact assessments” for future ocean development projects; and how to divide up the economic benefits from the future development of “marine genetic resources.”
Eden Charles, a diplomat from Trinidad and Tobago who is serving as the chairman for a U.N. preparatory committee that began the discussions this week underlined to Fox News that the talks are at a “very, very preliminary stage.”
Overall, the hoped-for treaty will cover “two-thirds of the oceans, almost half the planet,” says Lisa Speer, a senior official of the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC), which is in turn a lead member of a squadron of 33 environmentalist groups banded together as the High Seas Alliance to lobby for protectionist measures during the talks.
The rationale behind the discussions: easing the rising pressure on the world’s undersea biodiversity wrought by over-fishing, pollution, the drainage of nutrients and other substances from surrounding lands, disturbance of underwater seabeds, and fears of even greater threats from underwater industrial technology, including underwater exploration for hydrocarbons.
In U.N. terms, the discussions are proceeding at something like flank speed—that is, a lot slower than a melting iceberg bobbing in the north Atlantic. They began with the initial meeting on March 28 of the preparatory committee– “prep-com” in U.N.-speak–of nations to discuss preliminary ideas until Friday, April 8. Another two-week prep-com session will take place in August, and two more next year.
These are expected to result by the end of 2017 in draft language for a planned oceans treaty that could then be chewed over for another year or two in broader international sessions.
The agreement that ensues from those discussions, however, is seen by some involved in its hoped-for creation as the salt-water equivalent of the Paris Agreement on climate change, which will be formally signed at an April 22 ceremony in New York—a global, permanent and legally-binding deal for the management of Earth’s last frontier, which will spawn further layers of regulation in years to come.
“The climate negotiations showed the possibilities for us to come together,” Speer told Fox News.
It seems as if the U.N. has at least one outside ally in their efforts to control the world’s oceans. In 2014, Barack Obama renewed efforts to turn over U.S. controlled seas to the organization.

The oceans belong to everybody your job as UN is not to control anything. Time move them out and devolve the UN
This is a joke isn’t it
Hey, ASSHOLES, the planet doesn’t belong to you! Who the$#%&!@*do you think you are?!! You fucks better watch your$#%&!@* Geez….fucking humans….
No! United Nations needs to leave American waters alone. If UN controls the waters, they can control ALL ships and commerce. Get UN out of America.
We don’t need the UN, period!!
Muslim Brotherhood Project
Below is the Muslim Brotherhood’s 1982 manifesto titled “The Project”, penned
by Sa’id Ramadan, the son-in-law of Hassan al-Banna, the founder of the Muslim
Brotherhood.*
The Project was distributed to Muslim Brotherhood members around the world who
were ordered to strictly guard The Project’s content from outsiders. They did
so until November of 2001 when a copy of The Project was discovered during a
police raid of a senior Muslim Brotherhood financier’s home in Switzerland.*
The Project outlined the Muslim Brotherhood’s 25 strategies, including the
deception of Taqiyya, to infiltrate and to eventually subjugate the rest of
the world under Islam, the “Religion of Peace” as follows (elements of
particular intrigue are in boldface):
1. Network and coordinate actions between like-minded Islamists
organizations;
2. Avoid open alliances with known terrorist organizations and individuals to
maintain the appearance of “moderation”;
3. Infiltrate and take over existing Muslim organizations to realign them
towards the Muslim Brotherhood’s collective goals;
4. Use deception to mask the intended goals of Islamist actions, as long as
it doesn’t conflict with Sharia law;
5. Avoid social conflicts with Westerners locally, nationally or globally,
that might damage the long-term ability to expand the Islamist powerbase in
the West, including the support of full-time administrators and workers;
6. Conduct surveillance, obtain data, and establish collection and data
storage capabilities;
Muslim Brotherhood Project7. Put into place a watchdog system for monitoring
Western media to warn Muslims of international plots fomented against them;
8. Cultivate an Islamist intellectual community, including the establishment
of think-tanks and advocacy groups, and publishing “academic” studies, to
legitimize Islamist positions and to chronicle the history of Islamist
movements;
9. Develop a comprehensive 100-year plan to advance Islamist ideology
throughout the world;
10. Balance international objectives with local flexibility;
11. Build extensive social networks of schools, hospitals and charitable
organizations dedicated to Islamist ideals so that contact with the movement
for Muslims in the West is constant;
12. Involve ideologically committed Muslims in democratically-elected
institutions on all levels in the West, including government, NGOs, private
organizations and labor unions;
13. Instrumentally use existing Western institutions until they can be
converted and put into service of Islam;
14. Draft Islamic constitutions, laws and policies for eventual
implementation;
15. Avoid conflict within the Islamist movements on all levels, including the
development of processes for conflict resolution;
16. Institute alliances with Western “progressive” organizations that share
similar goals;
17. Create autonomous “security forces” to protect Muslims in the West;
18. Inflame violence and keep Muslims living in the West “in a Jihad frame of
mind”;
19. Support Jihad movements across the Muslim world through preaching,
propaganda, personnel, funding, and technical and operational support;
20. Make the Palestinian Issue a global wedge cause for Muslims;
21. Adopt the total liberation of Palestine from Israel and the creation of an
Islamic state as a keystone in the plan for global Islamic$#%&!@*
22. Instigate a constant campaign to incite hatred by Muslims against Jews and
reject any discussions of conciliation or coexistence with them;
23. Actively create Jihad terror cells within Palestine;
24. Link the terrorist activities in Palestine with the global terror
movement;
25. Collect sufficient funds to indefinitely perpetuate and support Jihad
around the world.
* After the 1982 discovery of The Project in Switzerland, the Muslim
Brotherhood quickly employed the deception of Taqiyya to try to distance
itself from the document. The strategies outlined above, however, continue to
be implemented across the world, including in Europe, UK and America.
un needs to be shut down. they are trying to gain control of the world and are loaded with muslims.
