Looking back on the Clinton legacy

Well... according to a few links which I have reciently come across,

it is because they are litterally NO LONGER UNDER U. S. CONTROL! I do

some model (as in beautiful ladies) shooting on the side, and one of

the sites that I \"belong to\" has been making many complaints that one

must now have a permit that costs from $50.00 to $500.00 PER DAY to shoot

photos there where you are poseing people, INCLUDING wedding party

photos!

Doing some checking I came across this link (hope it works here)

That explains the \"REASONING\" behind the \"World Heritage Org\", which is

running a number of National Parks behind the scenes, but actually

calling ALL THE SHOTS.

The World Heritage Org, is part of UNESCO, which we all know is a

part of the UN. Here is the \"Explaination\" of why these places Belong to

the World, and not the countries where they are located!!! This is the

link: http:\/\/www.unesco.or.id\/activities\/culture\/general\/266.phpI<\/a>

will copy\/past a portion of it below in the event some of you cannot open

the link.

If you \"Google\" \"World Heritage sites in the U. S.\" it will tell you

that places like the Statue of Liberty, Independance Hall, Monticello,

The Great Smokey Mtns, Grand Canyon, Yosemite NP, Redwood NP, Olympic

NP, Yellowstone NP, The Everglades National Park, and a number of

others are now actually under the control of the United Nations, and they

are activally seeking to get control of many more!!!

Yes, we have \"Been Invaded\", and actually at the invitation of our

own government! Just one more reason to really Clean House in

Washington!

If you Google \"World Heritage sites in the U. S. A.\", this is the

first link you will find.... http:\/\/thesalmons.org\/lynn\/wh-usa.html<\/a> So

you see \"I am not just blowing smoke\", altho it does have me smoking hot!

Here is part of the first link in case you cannot open the link I

posted above. If the 2nd one will not open, just \"Google It\".

What is World Heritage?

Heritage is our legacy from the past, what we live today, and what

we pass on to future generations. Our cultural and natural heritage are

both irreplaceable sources of life and inspiration.

World Heritage Sites belong to all the peoples of the world,

irrespective of the territory on which they are located.

The Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and

Natural Heritage adopted by UNESCO in 1972. Presently more than 180 states

have signed the Convention as of 31 March 2005, making it one of the

most universal international legal instruments for the protection of the

cultural and natural heritage.

The Convention defines the kind of natural, cultural or mixed sites,

which can be considered for inscription on the World Heritage List.

Cultural Heritage: Monuments; Groups of buildings; Cultural sites

whose outstanding universal value is determined from the point of view of

history, the arts and sciences, or ethnological, anthropological and

archaeological perspective.

Natural Heritage: Physical, biological and geological formations;

habitats of threatened species; places whose outstanding universal value

is based on scientific and\/or aesthetic qualities as well as

conservation needs.

Mixed Sites: Sites, of outstanding natural and cultural value, which

reflect specific technique of land use that guarantee and sustain

biological diversity; Sites, associated in the minds of the communities

with powerful beliefs and artistic and traditional customs; Sites, which

embody an exceptional spiritual relationship of people with nature.

The Conventions sets out the duties of States Parties in identifying

potential sites and their role in protecting and preserving them. By

signing the Convention, each country pledges to conserve not only the World

Heritage sites situated on its territory, but also to protect its

national heritage.

Specific selection criteria have to be achieved in order for a site

to be included in the World Heritage List. One of the most important

functions of UNESCO Office in Jakarta is to provide assistance to Members

State, who have signed the convention, in the preparation of files,

providing an essential record for possible nomination and inscription of

new sites on the World Heritage List.

The Convention currently protects 812 sites of \"outstanding universal

value\" inscribed on the World Heritage List, in 137 State Parties,

including 628 cultural sites, 160 natural sites and 24 mixed sites. (as 10

August 2005)

The Convention was the first official international instrument

stipulating the urgent need to identify and protect cultural and natural

heritage of \"outstanding universal value\" which is irreplaceable.

Therefore, the conservation of sites inscribed on the World Heritage List is a

concern not only for individual nations but also for the international

community as a whole.

A variety of problems, arising from natural hazards or human

intervention are constantly threatening World Heritage, these include; armed

conflict and war, earthquakes and other natural disaster, pollution,

poaching, unplanned construction.. As a result of this, thirty-five sites

are currently inscribed on the list of World Heritage in Danger and are

thus entitled to particular attention and emergency conservation

action.
