Washington, D.C. - Despite Al Gore's loss in the presidential election, Clinton-Gore holdovers are controlling the U.S. Mission to the United Nations and continuing to move the U.S. toward what one Clinton U.N. appointee calls the "house of world order."
Ambassador Richard Gardner, who is currently listed as U.S. senior advisor to the U.S. mission to the U.N., made that statement in a famous 1974 Foreign Affairs magazine article, where he also stated that "national sovereignty would be eroded "piece by piece" rather than through "the old-fashioned frontal assault." But Gardner, a Gore adviser in the 2000 campaign, isn't the only controversial Clinton-Gore holdover at the U.S. mission to the U.N. Others include:
Ambassador E. Michael Southwick won plaudits from some conservatives for a "pro-family" tone in a February 1 speech at a U.N. Child Summit preparatory meeting. But the speech utterly failed to emphasize human dignity and rights for children, born and unborn, which is the stated position of President Bush. He also praised the Convention on the Rights of the Child as "positive" for other countries, despite the fact that it has been resisted by conservatives here precisely because it undermines parental rights. At the State Department, Southwick was the Clinton-Gore point man for the upcoming U.N. Conference on Racism, a platform for the Third World to attack America as a racist country. In a December 6 speech at a preparatory conference for the event, he urged affirmative action on a global scale - a policy that could lead to the payment of billions or trillions in reparations from the U.S. to the Third World. Ambassador James B. Cunningham, the U.S. Deputy Permanent Representative to the U.N., supported the Brahimi Report committing more troops, equipment and money to U.N. military activities. He has endorsed a "rapid deployment" U.N. military force. Ambassador Betty King, a transplant from the Clintons' Arkansas, is the U.S. representative on the U.N. Economic and Social Council, where she promotes the notorious U.N. Population Fund and abortion rights. Ambassador Nancy Soderberg, Alternate U.S. Representative for Special Political Affairs, has been in charge of promoting U.N. treaties in the disarmament and security area. Her long career of activism in the Democratic Party includes serving as a senior adviser to Senator Ted Kennedy and foreign policy director for the 1992 Clinton-Gore campaign. She served on Clinton's National Security Council.
The Committee for American Leadership at the U.N., a project of America's Survival, Inc.,
is supporting Ambassador Frank Ruddy for the post of U.S. Ambassador to the U.N.
