The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 322
Open Skies Treaty
A necessary requirement of a one-world government is a strong worldwide military force.
An additional requirement is the neutralization of the U.S. military. More specifically, the U.S.
military must become subordinate to the worldwide military force. President Clinton went along
way towards accomplishing this by slashing the military budget by “$50 billion inflation-
adjusted dollars”
1008
and by signing PDD-13 and PDD-25, which gave the President the authority
to place the U.S. military under U.N. command.
President Clinton’s downsizing reduced the total military by 30 percent.
1009
The military
cuts included the following:
709,000 active duty service personnel
293,000 reserve troops
8 standing army divisions
20 Air Force and Navy air wings (with 2,000 combat aircraft, 232 strategic bombers)
13 strategic ballistic missile submarines (with 3,114 nuclear warheads on 232 missiles)
500 ICBMs with 1,950 warheads
4 aircraft carriers
121 surface combat ships and submarines
1010
These military cuts also included the closing down of military bases around the U.S. At
the closed Naval Base in Long Beach, California, the government had intended to lease a 144-
acre terminal to the China Ocean Shipping Company (COSCO) until Conservatives in Congress
passed legislation to put a stop to it. The Chinese government owns COSCO. According to
Congressman Duncan Hunter and many others, COSCO essentially acts as Merchant Marines for
the communist government of China. In 1996 COSCO was caught smuggling 2,000 Chinese-
made AK-47 machine guns into the U.S. The size of the terminal would have made it impossible
for customs officials to control what China brought into the U.S.
Mikail Gorbachev is another enemy who has decided to take advantage of U.S. military
base closures. The Gorbachev Foundation USA is located at the Presidio in San Francisco. The
Gorbachev Foundation has gotten much favorable press but his most frightening activities have
gotten very little. On April 21, 1991 the San Jose Mercury News reported on one of these
frightening activities, he was creating a task force on U.S. base closures. They write: “Friday he
[Gorbachev] inaugurated the Gorbachev Foundation USA, which is moving into new
headquarters in the Presidio in San Francisco. Gorbachev announced that the foundation is
creating a national task force on U.S. base closing. It will be co-chaired by former San Jose
Mayor Tom McEnery and former Democratic Rep. Mel Levine of Southern California.”

The
thought that Russia had any input on U.S. military base closures is very frightening.
Another necessary component of neutralizing the strength of the U.S. is to allow
America’s enemies to be able to send spy planes over her at will. This was accomplished through
the Open Skies Treaty.
The Open Skies Treaty was the result of efforts begun by President George H. W. Bush
Sr. in 1989. The treaty was ratified during the Clinton administration in 1994. During
Congressional debates on the treaty, members of Congress raised concerns that U.S. security
