Here’s a four-minute video clip of Monckton's warning:
At [the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in] Copenhagen, this December, weeks away, a treaty will be signed. Your president will sign it. Most of the third world countries will sign it, because they think they’re going to get money out of it. Most of the left-wing regime from the European Union will rubber stamp it. Virtually nobody won’t sign it. How many of you think that the word “election” or “democracy” or “vote” or “ballot” occurs anywhere in the 200 pages of that treaty? Quite right, it doesn’t appear once. So, at last, the communists who piled out of the Berlin Wall and into the environmental movement, who took over Greenpeace so that my friends who funded it left within a year, because [the communists] captured it — now the apotheosis as at hand. They are about to impose a communist world government on the world. You have a president who has very strong sympathies with that point of view. He’s going to sign it. He’ll sign anything. He’s a Nobel Peace Prize [winner]; of course he’ll sign it. And the trouble is this; if that treaty is signed, your Constitution says that it takes precedence over your Constitution, and you can’t resign from that treaty unless you get agreement from all the other state parties – And because you’ll be the biggest paying country, they’re not going to let you out of it. [Text slightly revised based on checking transcript against the video.] The above warning from Lord Monckton is understandably attracting a lot of attention in those conservative circles, including the John Birch Society, where warnings about the threat to American national sovereignty from a progressively strengthened United Nations have been taken very seriously for the past 50 years. In the context of recent House passage of a rigorous cap-and-trade energy tax to combat global warming and an upcoming vote on the UN Law of the Sea Treaty, the momentum is definitely there for the President to sign and the Senate to ratify a UN Copenhagen Treaty to minimize global warming. Although the Copenhagen Treaty is definitely a real threat to our national sovereignty and personal freedom, it is important to note that Lord Monckton is wrong when he says that “if that treaty is signed, your Constitution says that it takes precedence over your Constitution.” Internationalists have claimed for decades that treaties supersede the U.S. Constitution, and over time many people who are not themselves internationalists have accepted this claim as fact. Yet this claim clashes with the intent of the Founding Fathers, who did not grant an unlimited treaty power enabling a treaty to accomplish what only a constitutional amendment could. As Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1803 regarding "those who consider the grant of the treaty-making power as boundless": "If it is, then we have no Constitution." (For more information on the Constitution's treaty-making power and the intent of the Founding Fathers, see Chapter 6 of Global Tyranny ... Step by Step by William F. Jasper.) Nonetheless, even though the Constitution does not say that treaties have precedence over it, we know from recent actions by President Obama and the Congress, as well as from the widespread and longstanding disregard for the Constitution by previous administrations and Congresses, that our government leaders would be only too happy to implement a UN Copenhagen Treaty on climate change within the United States. The Copenhagen Treaty, the cap-and-trade bills in Congress, the Law of the Sea Treaty, healthcare reform legislation, etc., will continue to threaten our national sovereignty and personal freedom until enough Americans work together to get a majority of constitutionalists elected to Congress.

I warned people for over a year before the 2008 election that the election was was not about choosing between Democrat and Republican, or liberal and conservative, but between capitalism and socialism. But too few took me seriously. Maybe they will now, but time grows short when it will be too late to correct the mistake and restore our freedoms and sovereignty..
treaty "law"
That is a great point about treaties not truly superseding the Constitution. If they could do that, the President could sign a treaty calling the US non-existent except as an functional appendage to a greater authority (for an extreme example).
Obama: Impeach and remove from office!!!!
Obama not only needs to be not only impeached (assuming, that is, that congress has the guts necessary) but removed from office as well (unlike Comrade Clinton, who WAS impeached but not removed from office). And thank you, Mr. Henry, for mentioning not only Lex Rex but Romans 13 as well. The hour is very, very late indeed.

From the first time I ever looked at Obama I said he looked evil. Now I know he really is. Read Revelations in the Bible! Many of the events that it says will happen as we get close to "the end" or second coming of Christ, are happening RIGHT NOW! One of the major things is a world government, not to mention many many other things. Read it, get right, or be sorry. Watch the "Left Behind" movie series. The anti-christ WILL form one world government, the anti-christ WILL do many things Obama is trying to do.

With respect, it's Revelation, not Revelations. That is a very common error but it's very important that the Word of God is not misrepresented in any way. It is singular in form as it is Revelation from the Lord Jesus Christ to the apostle John. Also, the theologians say that these United States has no part in the end times and is not even mentioned in the Bible, which tends to make me believe that we will have ceased to be of any importance when the events in Revelation come to pass. The most important place in the enitre world (and perhaps in the entire universe) is Israel/Jerusalem. Keep your eye on Israel as it is the Lord's time clock.
Constitutional treaties
Constitutionally, a treaty does not go into effect until it is ratified by a two-thirds vote of the Senate. Lord Monckton seems to have glossed over that point – or does Lord Monckton think that Obama can enforce this treaty by unilateral executive agreement or decree? Either Lord Monckton does not understand our Constitution -- or he believes that Obama does not have to follow it.
History always repeats...
"Constitutionally, a treaty does not go into effect until it is ratified by a two-thirds vote of the Senate."
Pants on fire!!
Fake Global warming. The world has tilted 44.50min this happens every 41000 years as to Einstien and 26000 years computer
Yes the world has tilted once in 41000 years and 26000 years as to a computer analysis.

I have been watching Jack VanImpe for many many years...back in the day when the EU was indeed the EC or European Community. Even before then, it had a much less authoritative name. Jack has just stated that the last prophecy to be fulfilled per the Bible is the Peace Treaty. This treaty that is being prepared, in my opinion, IS the treaty. Jack has had more passionate warnings for years and with this latest act to pass a treaty? It is here folks. Yes, I agree that America is the "Paper Lion" and of not much use AFTER the rapture, however, until then, we are the most powerful. If Obama, who is merely a token, is allowed to continue to go around the laws of this land and act against "WE THE PEOPLE" then we will be dust.
Don't fret, Sherri.
Our Second Amendment illustrates our right and duty to prevent our demise, both as a people and as a nation.
How's the UN's World Governance and the State Israel?
What could the consequences be for Israel being out-voted by Arab League Nations?
Israel is Israel's responsibility
America has been funneling our resources to their doomed endeavors for too long now, and we just don't have anything left to give them.
