“It’s too late; it’ll just have to be stopped in the Senate,” Tom, the young male answering the phone in U.S. Rep. John Boehner’s (R-Ohio)Washington D.C. office, said about HR 3534 (CLEAR Act). This is the globalist bill designed to give away our land, oceans, adjacent land masses and Great Lakes to an international body, and makes us pay $900 million per year until 2040.
Article124
Use of terms
1. For the purposes of this Convention:
(a) "land-locked State" means a State which has no sea-coast;
(b) "transit State" means a State, with or without a sea-coast, situated between a land-locked State and the sea, through whose territory traffic in transit passes;
(c) "traffic in transit" means transit of persons, baggage, goods and means of transport across the territory of one or more transit States, when the passage across such territory, with or without trans-shipment, warehousing, breaking bulk or change in the mode of transport, is only a portion of a complete journey which begins or terminates within the territory of the land-locked State;
(d) "means of transport" means:
(i) railway rolling stock, sea, lake and river craft and road vehicles;
(ii) where local conditions so require, porters and pack animals.
2. Land-locked States and transit States may, by agreement between them, include as means of transport pipelines and gas lines and means of transport other than those included in paragraph 1.

This Alex Jones guy sounds like the biggest doorknob on the planet. Why would anyone take anything he says seriously without spending five minutes reading up on the subject?

Would you like to explain your concerns. All I see are definitions, much like the definitions in Loan Agreements I work with every day. The US is not a landlocked state. The countries to our north and south, Canada and Mexico, are not landlocked states. None of them would even be transit states. I don't understand your problem with the UN Convention on the Sea. And the House Bill that you mention has no references in it to either the United Nations or the Convention on the Sea. It's about commerce in the US.

You do realize that "State", to the United Nations, means "Nation", right?
