National Chairman's Letter

National Sovereignty

November 2002

Dear Members and Friends of the Independent American Party,

Our IAP National Mission includes our commitment "to promote ... national sovereignty ...." Our National Platform, in the 12th introduction point, states, "[U.S. Sovereignty] We believe that a sovereign America is necessary for us to maintain our freedom and way of life; that we must withdraw from all international agreements that diminish our independence; and that we must resist all efforts to draw us into the new world order."

In the mid-18th Century, the American colonies were part of the British Empire, and their sovereign was King George III. But a tyrannical Great Britain enraged the colonists. And an American resistance came to life. They formed the Sons of Liberty, the Committees of Correspondence, and the Minutemen. The First Continental Congress convened, and began its first session with a three-hour prayer. They knew they needed God's help.

At first, they petitioned for a redress of their grievances. When that failed, they pressed for freedom. When freedom proved unattainable under British rule, they demanded independence or national sovereignty. Thus, the Declaration of Independence!

With the Declaration, the Revolution was enflamed, but was likely to be crushed within a few months. They had to fight the mighty British on one front and American indifference on the other. But God smiled on the new nation's undertaking. George Washington was inspired to conceive a surprise Christmas Eve attack across the icy Delaware. British reinforcements were delayed three months at a critical point in the war by adverse ocean winds. God balanced the interests of nations and produced an irresistible motive for France to ally with the United States.

In the final battle at Yorktown, the British attempted to escape across the York River, to fight another day. But their boats were blown back by a sudden virtual hurricane -- causing Cornwallis to exclaim, "It looks like even God is on Washington's side." And He was!

By the grace of God, America became a free and sovereign nation, with Jesus Christ as our sovereign! The Constitution was established and became the Supreme Law of the land. And George Washington, in his Farewell Address, cautioned us: "The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations is, in extending our commercial relations to have with them as little political connection as possible. It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances, with any portion of the foreign world."

But today our God-given national sovereignty is in jeopardy! Insidious efforts have long been underway to bring the United States into the New World Order. The NWO agenda includes the destruction of US sovereignty and the US Constitution, the destruction of the sovereignty and constitutions of all other nations, and the establishment of a world government.

Following are a few glimpses of the multi-pronged attack against our national sovereignty:

•    In education -- patriotism and love of country are discouraged in public schools so that our children's first loyalty will be to the United Nations rather than to the United States.

•    In morality -- the influence of SIECUS has promoted teen sex, homosexuality, and teen rebellion against parents; and helped foster disintegration of our nation's moral fabric.

•    In trade -- WTO, NAFTA and GATT treaties have diminished our economic self-sufficiency and independence, and our right to establish our own foreign commerce policy.

•    In the environment -- United Nations biosphere reserves have been established in the United States and placed under UN control.

•    In jurisprudence -- the International Criminal Court threatens to usurp our Constitutional rights to trial by jury, a speedy trial, accountable judges, appeals and habeas corpus.

•    In the military -- our servicemen have been assigned to UN commands, made to wear UN uniforms and insignia, and committed to UN military actions.

•    In readiness -- we have reduced our military capability under the name of "disarmament" to the extent that we can no longer fight a two-theater war nor resist a tyrannical United Nations.

•    In national security -- foreign military bases have been established on American soil; and after 9/11, AWACS warplanes with foreign UN pilots were invited to patrol US skies.

James Paul Warburg, a player in the Federal Reserve Act, said February 17, 1950 before the US Senate: "We shall have World government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World government will be achieved by conquest or consent."

Richard Gardner, in the April 1974 issue of Foreign Affairs, wrote: "... the New World Order will be built ... but an end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more than the old fashioned frontal assault."

George Bush (senior) stated on February 1, 1992: "My vision of a New World Order foresees a UN with a revitalized peacekeeping function. It is the sacred principles enshrined in the UN charter to which we henceforth pledge our allegiance."

With the implementation of world government, we can expect on a global scale what we have seen in other countries: A one-world pagan religion, world taxation and an equalization of wealth, a KGB-like international police force, international courts, population control (including forced sterilizations and abortions), a global military force, and unobstructed global tyranny.

Though we face an imminent New World Order on one hand and American indifference on the other, we pledge as a political party to fight for the restoration and preservation of our American national sovereignty for ourselves, our posterity and our fellow Americans, by petition to God, and by political and educational means!

Yours for Freedom!
