Treaty Structure: The
Treaty between the United States of America and the Russian Federation
on Measures for the Further Reduction and Limitation of Strategic
Offensive Arms also known as the New START Treaty.
A posting on the United Nations Career Opportunities page announces a vacancy for the position of “Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration Officer” under the UN’s Department of Peacekeeping Operations based out of New York.
The UN’s page on DDR operations explains what role the DDR officer will be expected to undertake;
Disarmament is the collection, documentation, control and disposal of small arms, ammunition, explosives and light and heavy weapons from combatants and often from the civilian population.Demobilization is the formal and controlled discharge of active combatants from armed forces and groups, including a phase of “reinsertion” which provides short-term assistance to ex-combatants.Reintegration is the process by which ex-combatants acquire civilian status and gain sustainable employment and income. It is a political, social and economic process with an open time-frame, primarily taking place in communities at the local level.The objective of the DDR process is to contribute to security and stability in post-conflict environments so that recovery and development can begin. DDR helps create an enabling environment for political and peace processes by dealing with security problem that arises when ex-combatants are trying to adjust to normal life, during the vital transition period from conflict to peace and development.
Although the posting prompted feverish speculation that the UN was about to embark on a mass gun confiscation
program within the United States, it’s important to note that the DDR
program is only currently active in countries like the Democratic
Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast and Haiti.
However, concerns are understandable given the
acceleration in anti-Second Amendment rhetoric and executive action on
behalf of the Obama administration since the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre.
During a town hall event last week, Hillary Clinton asserted that gun control opponents should not be allowed to hold an opinion that “terrorizes” America.
Earlier this month, President Barack Obama also cited Australia’s draconian gun confiscation program as an example to be followed by the U.S.
“It’s no secret that the US government has been preparing riot gear, guns, ammunition, and detention centers for a major calamity that will likely involve violence and widespread civil unrest,” writes Mac Slavo.
Should such an event ever take place the first order of business will
include a declaration of martial law. And just as we saw during
Hurricane Katrina, when the U.S. Constitution has been suspended gun
confiscation is soon to follow.”
Since the 1990′s, Alex Jones and Infowars reporters have
attended numerous urban warfare training drills inside the United
States, many of which included exercises based around disarming American citizens. Foreign troops were also present at many of these drills.
Infowars first became aware of this story a week ago
having been contacted by active duty military officials who saw the
advertisement before it was posted publicly and we are currently working
on a deeper angle that promises to provide further insight.
For anyone who still doubts that domestic gun confiscation
would be plausible in the aftermath of a catastrophe, watch the short
documentary below which highlights how authorities exploited Hurricane
Katrina to seize firearms, including those belonging to residents who
weren’t even affected by the disaster.
