State Department Implimentation Total Arms Confiscation Alongside United Nations

"Years from now they're going to ask us: where were you when they took over the planet? We're gonna say: we stood by and watched" - Simmons from the movie, Transformers: Dark of The Moon  I did some homework for you. Following is a blog  with a detailed history of U.S. gun control. After the following, is the actual document #7277. Evidently President J.F. Kennedy signed it into law. He is no longer with us. The Ageless Agenda http://www.jonchristianryter.com/2005/053105.html The federal government's war on the 2nd Amendment, blamed on Bill Clinton by most diehard right-of-center conservatives, actually began during the presidency of John F. Kennedy, shortly after the abortive Bay of Pigs fiasco. The game plan, known as State Department Publication 7277, was entitled Freedom from War: The United States Program for General and Complete Disarmament in a Peaceful World. While most Americans today are aware of the fact that Publication 7277 called for the gradual transfer of all American military assets—men and machines—to the United Nations (which is forbidden by its charter from fielding an army), most people don't know that 7277 also detailed plans for the global disarming of private citizens as well. It would not bode well for the utopians to disarm the governments of the world and leave their people armed to the teeth. The authors of the Kennedy plan—or rather, the Council on Foreign Relations plan since that is where the disarmament agenda was born—were CFR members Dean Rusk, Kennedy's Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara and presidential advisors John McCloy and Robert Lovett. McCloy would be appointed to head the newly created US Arms Control and Disarmament Agency the following year. Lovett was offered his choice of cabinet positions in the Kennedy Administration and reportedly turned all of them down. He preferred the role of invisible advisor. In that capacity, Lovett handpicked most of those who became the inner circle of both the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations.Banning the private ownership of guns in America became the unspoken agenda of Congress even though since 1968 legislators on both sides of the aisle insisted that their intent was never to ban the private ownership of guns but simply to regulate them to make sure that guns didn't get in the hands of criminals. In point of fact, criminals don't go to the neighborhood gun store to purchase firearms. They buy guns on the black market from "dealers" who usually have criminal records themselves—and who sell their inventories of guns from the back trunks of their cars. More often than not, the guns the blackmarket dealers sell are not American-made firearms. They are guns manufactured in, and smuggled from, Central and South America, China and the Mideast. A small amount of the guns used in crimes in the United States are weapons that were stolen from American citizens who purchased and owned them legally. Acting as though the majority of the guns used in crimes were stolen from careless gun owners, Congress attempted to enact legislation that would have made legal gun owners whose weapons were stolen—and the gun dealers from whom they were legally purchased—financially responsible for any crimes committed with those weapons. Four years after the enactment of the National Firearms Act, Roosevelt tried a second time to outlaw the private ownership of guns. This time, the legislation was called the Federal Firearms Act of 1938. The new law banned "gangster weapons" (tommy guns made popular not only by the Chicago bootleg gangs during Prohibition but gangsters like Machine Gun Kelly and Ma Barker). The law also banned "silencers" and all gadget-type guns such as "gentlemen" guns (those unobtrusively hidden in fancy canes) or those having the appearance of being cosmetic jewelry. The law expanded on the National Firearms Act by banning all short-barreled rifles and shotguns. What Roosevelt especially wanted banned were revolvers and pistols since Guiseppe Zangara used a .38 revolver when he attempted to assassinate FDR on Feb. 15, 1933—nineteen days before FDR was to assume office as the 32nd President of the United States. Zangara fired five times at Roosevelt but succeeded only in killing Chicago mayor Anton Cermack. Zangara was tried for the murder Cermack and the attempted murder of the president-elect. He was found guilty and sentenced to death. The sentence was quickly carried out in Florida's electric chair. It is important to note that in 1928 the freely-elected conservative Reichstag in Germany attempted to curtail the right of its citizens to own handguns not only out of fear of both the Nazis and the Communist—or because of the dramatic increase in political assassinations throughout Europe—but to show good faith to the League of Nations scheme to end war by gradually eliminating the weapons used to fight them. The global effort to ban guns began with a rash of political assassinations in Europe during the American Civil War, culminating with the assassination of Austrian Archduke Francis Ferdinand and his commoner wife were gunned down in Sarajevo by anarchist Gavrilo Princip on June 28, 1914. When the first World War ended, the utopians—who still insisted that the assassination of the Archduke started the global war—were more determined than ever to disarm the people as the League of Nations disarmed their governments since it was armed anarchists and patriots who overthrew the Old World Order of Europe, creating parliamentary democracies out of Europe's monarchies. By the mid-1920's, as the League of Nations developed its plan to erase all national borders and create a single global nation, a wave of European national laws were being enacted to deprive European citizens of the right to own firearms. The disarmament laws made sense since, clearly, the people of all the nation-states would attempt a coup if their government capitulated to the bankers and industrialists and surrendered their nation's sovereignty without firing a shot. England was first, enacting the Firearms Act of 1920. The Firearms Act of 1920 gave the British Home Office sole authority to issue licenses for firearms. For that reason, very few licenses were issued. Only the titled or the wealthy, or those employed by the titled or wealthy were able to obtain them. Owning an unlicensed firearm carried a stiff penalty. A gun roundup began even though the English Bill of Rights (1689) ostensibly granted its citizens the right to own firearms. "The [English] subjects which are Protestants, may have arms for their defense suitable to their conditions, as allowed by law." "As allowed by law" is the catch-phrase that permeates the UN Declaration on Human Rights. It's the waiver that allows government to retract any right on whim, and exclude anyone it wishes from the liberties granted by that right. The Law on Firearms and Ammunition of 1928 was the first attempt by Germany to register firearms and regulate who could legally possess them. This was done, in part, to persuade their former enemies of their willingness to live in a war-free world. But, the government also feared the increasing number of anarchist socialists and fascists who were causing civil unrest from Bavaria to Berlin. The government feared a coup by either Bolesheviks or Nazis. Negotiations between US Secretary of State Frank Kellogg, French Foreign Minister Aristide Briand and emissaries from England, Belgium, France, Poland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Germany, the Czech Republic, Ireland, India, Japan, Italy, and the United States in 1928 created what became known as the Kellogg-Briand Pact—a universal nonaggression program for the world that was written by the fledgling Council on Foreign Relations for the fledgling League of Nations. In this accord was the spirit that would ultimately be incorporated into State Department Publication 7277—complete and total disarmament. Nations and peoples. Interestingly, in 1938 when Hitler was already flexing his muscles in Europe, and the threat of war with Germany was looming large in the minds of most Europeans, the British Home Office pulled the plug on issuing new gun licenses to British citizens who requested permission to buy handguns or rifles to protect their homes and families in the event the nation was invaded by Germany. Not only did the Home Office decline to issue new permits, it revoked many of the licenses it previously granted. Then, in a bizarre move to most, the British government passed a comprehensive firearms statute that eliminated the right of most British citizens to be armed. To many, it seemed that the government was preparing for the English people to capitulate should the Huns invade. The rationale for disarming people whom the British government should have been arming was due—according to a secret report that was declassified in the late 1970s—a growing fear by the British government that a communist or fascist revolution by the people of England was planned and might be staged just as the Germans invaded the island nation. Whenever governments fear its citizens, the first thing those governments will do is disarm its citizens to protect itself from the people. A citizen militia armed with nothing more threatening than scythes, garden hoes, lawn rakes and axes does not pose much of a threat to a government armed with machine guns, tanks and guided missiles. In Europe today, only one nation has never been invaded. Switzerland. During World War II, only one nation in Europe was allowed absolute neutrality. Switzerland. During the 20th century, the laws of only one nation in Europe mandated that every citizen must be armed. Switzerland. Today, in Europe, only the Swiss are armed to the teeth. Yet, Switzerland has the lowest crime rate of any industrialized nation in the world. Using UN data compiled through 1996, the US Department of Justice concluded that, in England, the robbery rate was 1.4 times higher, the assault rate was 2.3 higher, and the burglary rate was 1.7 times higher than it was in the United States. Only the murder and rape rates in the United States were higher than in England. Prior to the universal adoption of the UN Global Gun Ban Treaty by the nations of Europe and the former colonies of the British Empire (which worrisomely, has never shown up at the doorstep of the US Congress) England had the most restrictive gun control laws in the world. The UN International Study on Firearm Regulation (1994) deliberately chose to delete Switzerland from its comparative analysis because the Swiss statistics contradict the study's hypothesis that a high rate of firearm ownership corresponds with high rates of violent crime. The Swiss Federal Police reported that, in 1997, there were 87 intentional homicides and 102 attempted homicides in the entire country. Ninety-one of the 189 incidents involved firearm. With a population of seven million (which includes 1.2 million foreigners), Switzerland had a homicide rate of 1.2 per 100,000. There were 2,498 robberies (and attempted robberies), of which 546 involved firearms, giving a robbery rate of 36 per 100,000. Almost 50% of the reported crimes were committed by nonresident foreigners, which is why one hears reference in casual talk to "criminal tourists." To the gun control advocate, the statistics from Switzerland sounds made up. In 1993, not a single armed robbery was reported in Geneva . Switzerland, which is awash in guns, has substantially lower murder and robbery rates than England, where guns are banned. The honest statistics prove that guns not only don't commit crimes, a well-armed public reduces the crime rate substantially. In addition, a well-armed nation reduces the likelihood of tyrannical governments overthrowing their citizens and establishing totalitarian dictatorships. Had Franklin D. Roosevelt succeeded in outlawing the private ownership of guns in America as Adolph Hitler did in Germany and Josef Stalin did the Soviet Union—and ultimately, what Mao Tse-tung did when he seized China in 1949—FDR would have invoked an emergency decree suspending the Constitution during the "national emergency," and would have become America's second dictator. Only, in Roosevelt's case, the power would never have been returned to the people. The Gun Control Act of 1968 actually began as the Gun Control Act of 1963 shortly after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas. Congress' attempt to play on the emotions of America and use the passionate sentiments of people who were mourning the loss of a popular president to sidestep the constitutionality issues of proposed legislation that would have virtually outlawed the private ownership of guns. However, most of the members of Congress knew they wouldn't get reelected if they legislatively abolished the 2nd Amendment—or even attempted to do so since, until 1969, virtually every high school in the United States had a shooting club—using guns and the ammunition supplied by the American military establishment. The Gun Control Act of 1963 languished in Congress for five years before the dual assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King in 1968 brought a greatly modified and much more moderate version of that legislation out of committee as the Gun Control Act of 1968. Prior to 1968, all of the federal gun laws combined contained 19,907 words. The original National Firearms Act of 1934 contained only 3,571 words. Gun control legislation in the State of California for the year 1997 contained 158,643 words. Today, just about any piece of gun legislation in the federal system contains more words than Carroll Quigley's voluminous 1,311 page utopian tome Tragedy & Hope. It should be clear to you by now that what appears on the surface to be nothing more than spontaneous efforts based on emotional yet rational responses to tragedies caused by senseless acts of gun violence to ban the private ownership of guns is a well orchestrated global plan to use tragedy whenever it occurs to achieve the ageless agenda of both the Old World and New World Orders—the universal and complete disarmament of both nations and peoples.

Introduction

The revolutionary development of modern weapons within a world divided by serious ideological differences has produced a crisis in human history. In order to overcome the danger of nuclear war now confronting mankind, the United States has introduced at the Sixteenth General Assembly of the United Nations a Program for General and Complete Disarmament in a Peaceful World.
This new program provides for the progressive reduction of the war-making capabilities of nations and the simultaneous strengthening of international institutions to settle disputes and maintain the peace. It sets forth a series of comprehensive measures which can and should he taken in order to bring about a world in which there will be freedom from war and security for all states. It is based on three principles deemed essential to the achievement of practical progress in the disarmament field:

First, there must be immediate disarmament action:

A strenuous and uninterrupted effort must be made toward the goal of general and complete disarmament; at the same time, it is important that specific measures be put into effect as soon as possible.

1


Second, all disarmament obligations must be subject
to effective international controls:

The control organization must have the manpower, facilities, and effectiveness to assure that limitations or reductions take place as agreed. It must also be able to certify to all states that retained forces and armaments do not exceed those permitted at any stage of the disarmament process.

Third, adequate peace-keeping machinery must be established:

There is an inseparable relationship between the scaling down of national armaments on the one hand and the building up of international peace-keeping machinery and institutions on the other. Nations are unlikely to shed their means of self-protection in the absence of alternative ways to safeguard their legitimate interests. This can only be achieved through the progressive strengthening of international institutions under the United Nations and by creating a United Nations Peace Force to enforce the peace as the disarmament process proceeds.

There follows a summary of the principal provisions of the United States Program for General and Complete Disarmament in a Peaceful World.The full text of the program is contained in an appendix to this pamphlet.

FREEDOM FROM WAR

THE UNITED STATES PROGRAM FOR
GENERAL AND COMPLETE DISARM-
AMENT IN A PEACEFUL WORLD
SummaryDISARMAMENT GOAL AND OBJECTIVES

The over-all goal of the United States is a free, secure, and peaceful world of independent states adhering to common standards of justice and international conduct and subjecting the use of force to the rule of law; a world which has achieved general and complete disarmament under effective international control; and a world in which adjustment to change takes place in accordance with the principles of the United Nations.
In order to make possible the achievement of that goal, the program sets forth the following specific objectives toward which nations should direct their efforts:

• The disbanding of all national armed forces and the prohibition of their reestablishment in any form whatsoever other than those required to preserve internal order and for contributions to a United Nations Peace Force;
  
  
• The elimination from national arsenals of all armaments, including all weapons of mass destruction and
  
  3
  
  the means for their delivery, other than those required for a United Nations Peace Force and for maintaining internal order;
  
  
• The institution of effective means for the enforcement of international agreements, for the settlement of disputes, and for the maintenance of peace in accordance with the principles of the United Nations;
  
  
• The establishment and effective operation of an International Disarmament Organization within the framework of the United Nations to insure compliance at all times with all disarmament obligations.

TASK OF NEGOTIATING STATES The negotiating states are called upon to develop the program into a detailed plan for general and complete disarmament and to continue their efforts without interruption until the whole program has been achieved. To this end, they are to seek the widest possible area of agreement at the earliest possible date. At the same time, and without prejudice to progress on the disarmament program, they are to seek agreement on those immediate measures that would contribute to the common security of nations and that could facilitate and form part of the total program.

GOVERNING PRINCIPLES

The program sets forth a series of general principles to guide the negotiating states in their work. These make clear that:

4

• As states relinquish their arms, the United Nations must be progressively strengthened in order to improve its capacity to assure international security and the peaceful settlement of disputes;
  
  
• Disarmament must proceed as rapidly as possible, until it is completed, in stages containing balanced, phased, and safeguarded measures;
  
  
• Each measure and stage should be carried out in an agreed period of time, with transition from one stage to the next to take place as soon as all measures in the preceding stage have been carried out and verified and as soon as necessary arrangements for verification of the next stage have been made;
  
  
• Inspection and verification must establish both that nations carry out scheduled limitations or reductions and that they do not retain armed forces and armaments in excess of those permitted at any stage of the disarmament process; and
  
  
• Disarmament must take place in a manner that will not affect adversely the security of any state.

DISARMAMENT STAGES

The program provides for progressive disarmament steps to take place in three stages and for the simultaneous strengthening of international institutions.

FIRST STAGE
The first stage contains measures which would significantly reduce the capabilities of nations to wage

5


aggressive war. Implementation of this stage would mean that:

• The nuclear threat would be reduced:
  
  

  All states would have adhered to a treaty effectively prohibiting tile testing of nuclear weapons.
  The production of fissionable materials for use in weapons would be stopped and quantities of such materials from past production would be converted to non-weapons uses.
  States owning nuclear weapons would not relinquish control of such weapons to any nation not owning them and would not transmit to any such nation information or material necessary for their manufacture.
  States not owning nuclear weapons would no~ manufacture them or attempt to obtain control of such weapons belonging to other states.
  A Commission of Experts would be established to report on the feasibility and means for the verified reduction and eventual elimination of nuclear weapons stockpiles.

• Strategic delivery vehicles would he reduced:
  
  

  Strategic nuclear weapons delivery vehicles of specified categories and weapons designed to counter such vehicles would be reduced to agreed levels by equitable and balanced steps; their production would be discontinued or limited; their testing would be limited or halted.

6

• Arms and armed forces would be reduced:
  

  The armed forces of the United States and the Soviet Union would be limited to 2.1 million men each (with appropriate levels not exceeding that amount for other militarily significant states); levels of armaments would be correspondingly reduced and their production would be limited.
  An Experts Commission would be established to examine and report on the feasibility and means of accomplishing verifiable reduction and eventual elimination of all chemical, biological and radiological weapons.

  
  
• Peaceful use of outer space would be promoted:
  
  

  The placing in orbit or stationing in outer space of weapons capable of producing mass destruction would be prohibited.
  States would give advance notification of space vehicle and missile launchings.

  
  
• U.N. peace-keeping powers would be strengthened:
  
  

  Measures would be taken to develop and strengthen United Nations arrangements for arbitration, for the development of international law, and for the establishment in Stage II of a permanent U.N. Peace Force.

  
  
  
• An International Disarmament Organization would be established for
  effective verification of the disarmament program:
  
  

  Its functions would be expanded progressively as disarmament proceeds.
  
  7
  
  
  It would certify to all states that agreed reductions have taken place and that retained forces and armaments do not exceed permitted levels.
  It would determine the transition from one stage to the next.

  
  
• States would he committed to other measures to reduce international tension and to protect against the chance of war by accident, miscalculation, or surprise attack:
  
  

  States would be committed to refrain from the threat or use of any type of armed force contrary to the principles of the U.N. Charter and to refrain from indirect aggression and subversion against any country.
  A U.N. peace observation group would be available to investigate any situation which might constitute a threat to or breach of the peace.
  States would be committed to give advance notice of major military movements which might cause alarm; observation posts would be established to report on concentrations and movements of military forces.

SECOND STAGE

The second stage contains a series of measures which would bring within sight a world in which there would be freedom from war. Implementation of all measures in the second stage would mean:

• Further substantial reductions in the armed forces, armaments, and military establishments of states, including strategic nuclear weapons delivery vehicles and countering weapons;
  
  8
  
  
• Further development of methods for the peaceful settlement of disputes under the United Nations;
  
  
• Establishment of a permanent international peace force within the United Nations;
  
• Depending on the findings of an Experts Commission, a halt in the production of chemical, bacteriological, and radiological weapons and a reduction of existing stocks or their conversion to peaceful uses;
  
  
• On the basis of the findings of an Experts Commission, a reduction of stocks of nuclear weapons;
  
  
• The dismantling or the conversion to peaceful uses of certain military bases and facilities wherever located; and
  
  
• The strengthening and enlargement of the International Disarmament Organization to enable it to verify the steps taken in Stage II and to determine the transition to Stage III.

THIRD STAGE

During the third stage of the program, the states of the world, building on the experience and confidence gained in successfully implementing the measures of the first two stages, would take final steps toward the goal of a world in which:

• States would retain only those forces, non-nuclear armaments, and establishments required for the purpose of maintaining internal order; they would also support and provide agreed manpower for a U.N. Peace Force.
  
  9
  
  
• The U.N. Peace Force, equipped with agreed types and quantities of armaments, would be fully functioning.
  
  
• The manufacture of armaments would be prohibited except for those of agreed types and quantities to be used by the U.N. Peace Force and those required to maintain internal order. All other armaments would be destroyed or converted to peaceful purposes.
  
  
• The peace-keeping capabilities of the United Nations would be sufficiently strong and the obligations of all states under such arrangements sufficiently far reaching as to assure peace and tile just settlement of differences in a disarmed world.

(e) States owning nuclear weapons shall not relinquish control of such weapons to any nation not owning them and shall not transmit to any such nation information or material necessary for their manufacture. States not owning nuclear weapons shall not manufacture such weapons, attempt to obtain control of such weapons belonging to other states, or seek or receive information or materials necessary for their manufacture.
(f) A Nuclear Experts Commission consisting of representatives of the nuclear states shall be established within the IDO for the purpose of examining and reporting on the feasibility and means for accomplishing the verified reduction and eventual elimination of nuclear weapons stockpiles.

D.To Reduce Strategic Nuclear Weapons Delivery Vehicles:
(a) Strategic nuclear weapons delivery vehicles in specified categories and agreed types of weapons designed to counter such vehicles shall be reduced to agreed levels by equitable and balanced steps. The reduction shall be accomplished in each step by transfers to depots supervised by the IDO of vehicles that are in excess of levels agreed upon for each step. At specified periods during the Stage I reduction process, the vehicles that have been placed under supervision of the IDO shall be destroyed or converted to peaceful uses.
(b) Production of agreed categories of strategic nuclear weapons delivery vehicles and agreed types of weapons designed to counter such vehicles shall be discontinued or limited.
(c) Testing of agreed categories of strategic nuclear weapons delivery vehicles and agreed types of weapons designed to counter such vehicles shall be limited or halted.

The notification shall include the geographic areas to be used and the nature, scale and time span of the event.
(b) There shall be established observation posts at such locations as major ports, railway centers, motor highways, and air bases to report on concentrations and movements of military forces.
(c) There shall also be established such additional inspection arrangements to reduce the danger of surprise attack as may be agreed.
(d) An international commission shall be established immediately within the IDO to examine and make recommendations on the possibility of further measures to reduce the risks of nuclear war by accident, miscalculation, or failure of communication.

G. To Keep the Peace:
(a)States shall reaffirm their obligations under the U.N. Charter to refrain from the threat or use of any type of armed force-including nuclear, conventional, or CBR--contrary to the principles of the U.N. Charter.
(b) States shall agree to refrain from indirect aggression and subversion against any country.
(c) States shall use all appropriate processes for the peaceful settlement of disputes and shall seek within the United Nations further arrangements for the peaceful settlement of international disputes and for the codification and progressive development of international law.

16

(d) States shall develop arrangements in Stage I for the establishment in Stage II of a U.N. Peace Force.
(e) A U.N. peace observation group shall be staffed with a standing cadre of observers who could be dispatched to investigate any situation which might constitute a threat to or breach of the peace.

(c) There shall he further agreed restrictions on the production of armaments.
(d) Agreed military bases and facilities wherever they are located shall he dismantled or converted to peaceful uses.
(e) Depending upon the findings of the Experts Commission on CBR weapons, the production of CBR weapons shall be halted, existing stocks progressively reduced, and the resulting excess quantities destroyed or converted to peaceful uses.

C. To Further Reduce the Nuclear Threat:
Stocks of nuclear weapons shall be progressively reduced to the minimum levels which can be agreed upon as a result of the find-

17

ings of the Nuclear Experts Commission; the resulting excess of fissionable material shall be transferred to peaceful purposes.

D. To Further Reduce Strategic Nuclear Weapons Delivery Vehicles:
Further reductions in the stocks of strategic nuclear weapons delivery vehicles and agreed types of weapons designed to counter such vehicles shall be carried out in accordance with the procedure outlined in Stage I.

E. To Keep the Peace:
During Stage II, states shall develop further the peace-keeping processes of the United Nations₁ to the end that the United Nations can effectively in Stage III deter or suppress any threat or use of force in violation of the purposes and principles of the United Nations:

(a) States shall agree upon strengthening the structure, authority, and operation of the United Nations so as to assure that the United Nations will be able effectively to protect states against threats to or breaches of the peace.
(b) The U.N. Peace Force shall be established and progressively strengthened.
(c) States shall also agree upon further improvements and developments in rules of international conduct and in processes for peaceful settlement of disputes and differences.


STAGE III

By the time Stage II has been completed, the confidence produced through a verified disarmament program, the acceptance of rules of peaceful international behavior, and the development of strengthened international peace-keeping processes within the framework of the U.N. should have reached a point where the states of the world can move forward to Stage III. In Stage III progressive controlled disarmament and continuously developing principles and procedures of international law would proceed to

18

a point where no state would have the military power to challenge the progressively strengthened U.N. Peace Force and all international disputes would be settled according to the agreed principles of international conduct.
The progressive steps to be taken during the final phase of the disarmament program would be directed toward the attainment of a world in which:
(a) States would retain only those forces, non-nuclear armaments, and establishments required for the purpose of maintaining internal order; they would also support and provide agreed manpower for a U.N Peace Force.
(b) The U.N. Peace Force, equipped with agreed types and quantities of armaments, would be fully functioning.
(c) The manufacture of armaments would be prohibited except for those of agreed types and quantities to be used by the U.N. Peace Force and those required to maintain internal order. All other armaments would be destroyed or converted to peaceful
purposes.
(d) The peace-keeping capabilities of the United Nations would be sufficiently strong and the obligations of all states under such arrangements sufficiently far-reaching as to assure peace and the just settlement of differences in a disarmed world.
