Have you heard about the Copenhagen Treaty that is to be signed this December?

You most likely haven’t because the mainstream media is not covering it at all. The only coverage it has received to this date comes from Glenn Beck and that is only as a result of British Lord Monckton raising the alarm.  Lord Monckton is the man best known for debunking many of the claims made by Al Gore in his Academy Award™ winning propaganda piece, An Inconvenient Truth.  The British government was on the verge of introducing Gore’s film into the school systems as part of its environmental education (indoctrination) agenda, but Lord Monckton’s counter-claims against the film identified such egregious errors and lies in it that they could not be ignored.  As a result, the film was banned from being shown in schools in Britain.  Lord Monckton also produced a counter-film to Inconvenient Truth called Apocalypse? No!

Your representatives aren’t telling you about the treaty either; President Obama certainly isn’t telling you about it; the news isn’t telling you about it.  So, what is it?

The Copenhagen Treaty is billed as a “climate change” treaty, a treaty designed—at least by outward appearances—to address the major issues of “global warming” (which is now conveniently referred to as “climate change,” thanks to the mountain of evidence that shows only decreases in global temperatures since 1998).

The true nature and intent of the treaty is, however, much more nefarious than its billing.

Let’s piece that together.

• First, to help assure you that everything being said here is true and legitimate, here is the link to the treaty on the United Nations website: http://unfccc.int/resource/docs/2009/awglca7/eng/inf02.pdf it is 181 pages long. Later in this document, references to the most dangerous parts of this treaty will be provided.
• Second, watch this video of Lord Monckton raising the alarm about this treaty, laying out what will happen and begging US to do something about it!
• Here’s a summary of it:
  • Creation of a World Government that is instituted without election or our input by citizens of the world
  • Transfer of the wealth of developed, industrialized nations (mostly America) to third-world countries to satisfy the “climate debt” that we owe for having done so much damage to the environment in course of our development
  • Subjugation of the world’s citizens to policing and enforcement of treaty policies by the new world government.
• Third, listen to Barack Obama speaking at the United Nations effectively endorsing the treaty and stating that “The danger posed by climate change cannot be denied.  Our responsibility to meet it must not be deferred.” He is referring directly to this treaty and all but vowing to sign it in December.
• Fourth, let’s tie all the pieces together to assure ourselves we’re not being duped. If you refer to the treaty document in the first link, under section 38 you will find the following references (emphasis added):
  • (World Government) a) The government will be ruled by the COP with the support of a new subsidiary body on adaptation, and of an Executive Board responsible for the management of the new funds and the related facilitative processes and bodies. The current Convention secretariat will operate as such, as appropriate.
  • (Transfer of our Wealth) b) The Convention’s financial mechanism will include a multilateral climate change fund including five windows: (a) an Adaptation window,(b) a Compensation window, to address loss and damage from climate change impacts [read: the “climate debt” Monckton refers to], including insurance, rehabilitation and compensatory components, (c) a Technology window; (d) a Mitigation window; and (e) a REDD window, to support a multi-phases process for positive forest incentives relating to REDD actions.
  • (Subject to Policing) (c) The Convention’s facilitative mechanism will include: (a) work programmes for adaptation and mitigation; (b) a long-term REDD process; (c) a short-term technology action plan; (d) an expert group on adaptation established by the subsidiary body on adaptation, and expert groups on mitigation, technologies and on monitoring, reporting and verification; and (e) an international registry for the monitoring, reporting and verification of compliance of emission reduction commitments, and the transfer of technical and financial resources from developed countries to developing countries. The secretariat will provide technical and administrative support, including a new centre for information exchange [read; enforcement].

As you can see, section (a) refers to the establishment of a “government” that is not elected by any body of citizens, but is instead appointed, presumably by the United Nations and specifically those who are the driving force behind this treaty.  It’s reasonable to assume that such individuals will appoint themselves, along with others sympathetic to their cause, as “the government.”
The adoption of such a treaty in the United States requires the approval of a two-thirds majority of the Senate, which may lead us to believe that it’s a long shot for Obama to get passed.  Unfortunately, there are already plans in place to subvert this Constitutional requirement through legal means and make this happen right under our noses, plans that only require a simple majority from both houses.  There are two documents that have been discovered that shine a bright light on this nefarious plan:

1. A former Clinton State Department official named Nigel Purvis laid out the extremely detailed blue-print for passing climate-treaties without Senate approval in a paper he wrote entitled “Paving the Way for U.S. Climate Leadership: The Case for Executive Agreements and Climate Protection Authority.” written in April 2008.  The abstract of this document lays out very clearly the plan to subvert the constitution and work around the law using congressional-executive agreements.
2. This document is a legal analysis by a lawyer that determines that this process would be legal – though potentially politically damaging. There is a summary conclusion at the very end that wraps it all up.

If, like me, this raises your hackles, sets off alarm bells and is freaking you out leaving you wondering what can we do – my answer is:  I don’t know.

But we can start with sharing this document and information with as many people as possible, especially media and political activist groups.  We must raise awareness of this!  It took a British guy to raise the alarm – now it’s up to US, our fellow Americans, to spread the alarm and make this a front page issue!!!  Maybe then we’ll be able to figure out what to do about it.

Selected Measures of Unintentional Injuries, U.S., 2002-2006

Source: National Safety Council Report

Now, with such a HIGH RISK of death from falling, poisoning, even choking or drowning, you would think that our overbearing federal government would be banning poisons or continually trying to educate us on poison safety or creating legislation to better control poisons, or accidental falls or even choking.

You would think that the media would be doing hatchet segments on how unsafe walking causes accidental falls or shows about poison safety.  But no, they’re going after the least likely cause of accidental death on the chart - Guns!

In 2006 there were over 50,000 deaths caused by falling, poisoning and choking.  I don’t remember any news stories focusing on THOSE accidental deaths!  Clearly the media who feels the need to babysit us and make sure we’re safe from ourselves and our big bad guns is being extremely irresponsible by not warning us about walking and chewing really good.

60 Minutes does a hatchet job on the 2nd Amendment.

Watch CBS Videos Online

I do not, CAN NOT understand the mentality of these people who believe that by disarming citizens they can decrease violence!  I feel for the victims and families of the victims of Virginia Tech, but it’s ridiculous to think that by closing the so-called “Gun Show Loophole” that they’ll be making a difference in anything.  The other guy had it right - if everyone who wanted to be was carrying a gun at Virginia Tech things would have been  a LOT different!

I’m also tired of all these bureaucrats who think they understand guns and what gun owners want to do with them.  I own AK-47’s and SKS’s - and several other rifles.  I hope to never have to shoot them at another person, but whatever may go down in the future, if it’s bad I will NOT be standing by un-armed wishing I had a gun to protect my family!

The biggest problem with this “report” is the complete failure of 60 minutes to apply any kind of logic to their report.  They start off talking about the ammo shortage and gun/ammo price increases.  They then end up basically saying that because they don’t believe Obama won’t do anything about guns right now that there must not be a reason for the shortage - or something, it’s kinda confusing.  But, they are acting like it’s silly to think any of that.  Well, the bottom line and the fact of the matter is that whether Obama and Congress want to go after guns or not, America BELIEVES that he/they will/do.  Background checks have gone up 30%, ammo is nowhere to be found, guns are doubled in price.  The reason is that all those people who thought they could just go pick up a gun if they felt the need to are suddenly realizing that they just might not be able to - and they’re doing something about it!

I’m so sick of politicians, more sick of useless news celebrities and even more sick of the lazy, worthless Americans who don’t know or understand the Constitution.

(hat-tip to my buddy @ekimatuan for pointing me to the video)

I try to celebrate the 2nd amendment as often as I can - by going shooting with my friends!  Here are some photos of a couple recent shooting trips in Utah and Idaho.

Me and an AK47 = Love

Part of our group at the range west of Utah Lake

The SKS is a fun gun to shoot!

Our lineup on the Rifle Range - AR-30, BMG .50 and on

Firing the H&K

We also blew up some Tannerite, watch the white dot in the middle of the hill!

After shooting, our group went snowmobiling

Me by my sled

Thinking her sled was a gun, my wife killed a tree.

This weekend a big group of us are going snow camping and will be doing some long range rifle training on Saturday.  Thank God for Guns!

What do you do to celebrate the 2nd Amendment?  Share you story with us as a guest author!  Also, our readers are welcome to come on shooting trips with us - we love to learn and to teach!  Let us know if you’re interested.

Our 2nd Amendment rights are severely threatened by the incoming Obama Administration.  Gun owners are all to aware of this as we notice that gun shops can’t keep guns in stock and ammo shops are having a hard time keeping ammo in stock.

The socialist idea that banning guns of any type will somehow deter crime has been shown to be ignorant stupidity time and time again.  Anyone who still thinks that gun-ban and gun control laws do ANYTHING to protect citizens are either completely naive or just blatantly STUPID.  All that happens when you take away guns from law abiding citizens is help criminals gain confidence that nobody will shoot back at them.

These videos document the sadness and frustration of ex-gun owners and other citizens in England as they completely lost their right to own a firearm.  They also document how since banning guns - gun crime has skyrocketed out of control - to the point that the police carry firearms and wear body armor. (h/t @cboyack)

We MUST NOT allow ourselves to be dis-armed!  Somehow we’ve got to get the anti-gun Liberals to understand that disarming law abiding citizens will NOT lower crime.  Check these out:

The British called - They want their guns back!

Americans, Protect your gun rights at all cost!

There’s still more to do, but GeeksNGuns is finally getting some badly needed attention!  As the site overhaul continues, we’re also looking for other people who are interested in writing with us.  If you would like an outlet to write and rant about 2nd Amendment rights and their continued attacks by the Government, gun and shooting education, gun reviews or anything else about firearms, please let us know!

The inauguration of  gun-ban Obama seemed like a good day to launch a renewed committment to protecting our right to bear arms.  If you aren’t already a member, we invite you to celebrate the inauguration of our new President by joining the NRA TODAY!

Just in case you’ve missed it through all the hype, here’s the rundown on Obama’s history as a gun control freak (from gunbanobama.com):

The presidential primary season is finally over, and it is now time for gun owners to take a careful look at just where nominee Barack Obama stands on issues related to the Second Amendment. During the primaries, Obama tried to hide behind vague statements of support for “sportsmen” or unfounded claims of general support for the right to keep and bear arms.

But his real record, based on votes taken, political associations, and long standing positions, shows that Barack Obama is a serious threat to Second Amendment liberties. Don’t listen to his campaign rhetoric! Look instead to what he has said and done during his entire political career.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE VOTE ON GUN CONTROL BY PHONE AS DIRECTED BELOW ASAP! - TELL THEM YOU OPPOSE GUN CONTROL.

Subject: Gun control in Cook County, Illinois
Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2008

Greetings all:

Please take the time to voice your opinion regarding our rights which are supposed to be protected by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution.

It seems Larry Suffredin and his cohorts on the Cook County Board are up to their old tricks again. In order to justify passage of gun control ordinances designed to close all gun shops and ban and confiscate most guns owned by citizens of the county, the Cook County Board is conducting a telephone poll where callers can vote for or against the gun control ordinances. If you would like to participate in this poll (YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A RESIDENT OF COOK COUNTY TO DO SO), please take the following steps:

Call 1-312-603-6400 and select Option #1 when prompted. At the next prompt, select Option #1 again. Then, when prompted to vote on the gun control ordinance, press #2 (this votes AGAINST gun control).

Please consider forwarding this alert to all your relatives, friends and acquaintances who are interested in the cause of freedom and liberty and ask them to participate in this as well.
You might also wish to post this alert to any and all Internet bulletin boards or blogs to which you belong

This LITERALLY takes less than 2 MINUTES!  Please, do it now - you do not have to speak to a single person, let these idiots know that we care about gun control laws!  Make the call, then spread the word!

We’re putting together a meet-up at the gun show this weekend with Utah Preppers!

We’re thinking about also doing a quick shooting meet-up after the show.

The short version is to meet this Saturday at 9 am at the South Town Expo Center.  The long version and all the details are here on Utah Preppers - hope to see you there!

Wow we had a lot of fun!  This past weekend several of us got together just outside of Eagle Mountain to do a lot of shooting.  Most of us brought a son or two along so in all we had about 12 people there.  We spent 3 1/2 hours doing a lot of shooting and checking out different guns.  Here’s a qik movie that HumanCell shot at the end of the day when we were starting to load back up.
We’re hoping to do another one of these before the end of the month, probably the weekend after this one.  This weekend of course is the last gun show of the year - we my try to do a meet-up there.

The nice thing was that we had the whole place to ourselves - we could easily have 50 people come out there and have a great time!  Hopefully we’ll get a larger turn out next time, we’ll announce it more than a couple days ahead of time

This here is the first post.  If you want to attend GeeksNGuns get togethers, comment on this post and subscribe to the feed! 

We’ll be getting geeks together to go out and shoot guns and blow stuff up (anyone have an explosives license?)

I think Jayce Hall and I came up with this name at the same time, he may even have used it before but I’m not sure.  He, Lars Rasmussen, Thom Allen, Scott Lemon and Ash Buckles are the ones that drove me away from my concentration and in typical ADD style, make a whole friggin website about getting together to go shoot.  Sheesh. 

Anyway, subscribe to the feed, then it’ll be easy to tell you when we go shoot.
