CHAPTER 17
A RESOUNDING "NO!" TO THE. U.N.
A.P.F.N. Fax Network
June 9, 1994
Oklahoma State Representative John Monks is more than just a bit upset with the direction the President and Congress have taken with regard to placing America's armed forces at the disposal of the United Nations. As a veteran with 30 years of service in active and reserve status with the U.S. Army, he is angered and alarmed by the deployment of U.S. troops throughout the world for the furtherance of U.N. objectives and in service of a "new world order". As a senior State Legislator he decided he had not only the opportunity but the duty to do something about it.
On March 28th, the Oklahoma House of Representatives adopted Resolution No. 1047 by Representative Monks memorializing Congress to cease funding and engaging in any UN military activities and to cease support of the establishment of any form of global government (see below). The document will be presented to the clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives, the secretary of the U.S. Senate, and each member of the Oklahoma congressional delegation. Monks knows that the resolution has no binding authority, but told The New American he believes actions like this are necessary to let the politicians in Washington know that "there is no popular support for these UN military operations and, in fact, considerable opposition to our growing involvement in them".
With 24 years in office, John Monks is one of the "deans" of the State Legislature:
only one other current member of the 101-member House has served as long. A democrat,
he represents Muskogee ("where even squares can have a ball") and rural, small-town, eastern Oklahoma. He is chairman of the Veterans Affairs Committee and an active member of the Disabled American Veterans, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and the American Legion.
Monks said he didn't find any opposition to the measure and very quickly signed on
45 co-sponsors. "It fit pretty much with the current mood here concerning the federal government", he said, noting that the Legislature had just voted down a mandatory motorcycle helmet law for adults, even though Washington had threatened to cut off
$2 million in federal highway funds if it did so. "I think a lot of people and a lot of State Legislators around the country are getting sick of this kind of blackmail and all of these federal mandates", he said.
In introducing the resolution, Monks told The New American, "I simply explained that the purpose of the United States military is to protect the life, liberty, and property of U.S. citizens and to defend this nation against insurrection or foreign invasion, not promote an agenda for some 'new world order'." No one disagreed; it passed on a voice vote without any dissent.

RESOLUTION OF THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA
WHEREAS, President Clinton has affirmed that his foreign policy regarding the deployment of the United States military forces under the authority of the United Nations will bear little change from that of his predecessor; and
WHEREAS, the constitutional role of the United States military is to protect the life, liberty and property of United States citizens and to defend our nation against insurrection or foreign invasion; and
WHEREAS, the United States is an independent sovereign nation and not a tributary of the United Nations; and
WHEREAS, there is no popular support for the establishment of a "new world order" or world sovereignty of any kind either under the United Nations or under any world body in any form of global government; and
WHEREAS, global government would mean the destruction of our Constitution and corruption of the spirit of the Declaration of Independence, our freedom, and our way of life.
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the 2nd session of the
44th Oklahoma Legislature:
That the United States Congress is hereby memorialized to:
1. Cease the appropriation of United States funds for any military activity not authorized by Congress;
2. Cease engagement in any military activity under the authority of the United Nations or any world body;
3. Cease the rendering of aid to any activity or engagement under the jurisdiction of the United Nations or any world body; and
4. Cease any support for the establishment of a "new world order" or to any form of global government.
That the United States Congress is hereby memorialized to refrain from taking any further steps toward the economic or political merger of the United States into a world body or any form of world government.

PRESS RELEASE--FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION
June 7, 1994
Page 11-A of this morning's San Antonio Express News provided the itinerary of "ACTING" Attorney General Janet Reno during her visit to San Antonio for a speech to the United States Federal Judges' Conference. At 10:45 a.m. she was to visit a former "crackhouse" being converted to civic usefulness at 126 Anderson St. From there she would proceed to the Springview Softball Field which the San Antonio Police Department has sponsored for the neighborhood kids. She was then scheduled to walk three blocks through the housing project to the Community Center where neighborhood children had planted a vegetable garden. WOAI news reporter, Jim' Forsythe, kept pushing Reno to confirm the report that she had approved quadrupling of the Branch Davidian sentences next week for their use of automatic weapons, and finally she acknowledged that she had.
Janet Reno has accepted responsibility for FBI actions at Mt. Carmel, Texas which resulted in the murder of eighty-one persons, yet after one year she has authorized neither an investigation nor prosecution of the murders. Sons of Liberty in San Antonio could not permit today's effort to display this evil woman as a kind and caring federal official who works to stamp out crime without exposing her wickedness, incompetence and irresponsibility.
Although there was no time to prepare a major demonstration, a few signs were hastily prepared which read "REMEMBER WACO" and "ABORTION AND J. RENO KILL LIITLE CHILDREN" and "PROSECUTE RENO FOR WACO CRIMES".
The first picketer to arrive at the "crackhouse" single-handedly diverted Reno's tour to
by-pass it, according to the reporters who were there. Four Sons of Liberty followed the
press and TV caravan to the softball field for Reno's second scheduled public appearance. Sixteen uniformed S.A.P.D. officers arrived soon after the picketers along with an entourage of FBI agents and U.S. Marshals disguised as respectable businessman. When Reno arrived with San Antonio's Mayor Nelson Wolfe she was directly confronted with the signs and continuous chants of "Child-killer". She proceeded to the softball field and attempted to bask in the reflected glory of the S.A.P.D.'s excellent project for the youth of that crime-infested neighborhood.
Since no interview could be conducted without "Child-killer" chants in the background, Reno decided to forego the walk to the Barbara Jordan Cultural Center where the garden is located. To her dismay, there was no place to hide at Jordan Center either, as the children's garden had been planted inside a fence right at the edge of the sidewalk. The Sons of Liberty grew to the incredible size of five persons at this point. Chanting continued there along with challenges to Mayor Wolfe to stop kowtowing to the federal government, and encouragement called to the entourage to disassociate themselves with this child killer.
Throughout the day reports of the picket dominated local radio news coverage on stations WOAI and KTSA. Each sound bite with Reno was punctuated with "Child-killer" in the background.
In a related matter, HiIlary Clinton is scheduled to be in town on Saturday, June 11th for the American Nurses Association at 4:00 p.m. at S.A.'s Hemisfair Arena. Sons of Liberty take note!
