United Nations To Take Over The Alamo

UN flag may fly above shrine of liberty if designated as a World Heritage Site

San Antonio, Texas Mayor Julián Castro is currently negotiating with the United Nations to designate the Alamo as a UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site, meaning that a blue UN flag may fly above the historic shrine of liberty once it falls under UN control.

UNESCO, a specialized agency within the UN, created the World Heritage Site status out of a 1972 international agreement, which calls for nations to join together to manage historical sites through “collective assistance.”

“San Antonio has the opportunity for its five Spanish Colonial Missions [including the Alamo] to be nominated to be the first UNESCO World Heritage site in the State of Texas and the 22nd World Heritage designation in the United States,” the October 2013 City of San Antonio newsletter reads. http://www.sanantonio.gov/historic/Docs/Newsletters/October_2013.pdf

The Alamo consists of both the Alamo chapel and the surrounding compound now referred to as the Alamo Plaza.

The Alamo chapel, which is what people tend to picture when they hear the name “Alamo,” is managed by the Texas General Land Office and the Daughters of the Republic of Texas.

The Alamo Plaza, where most of the fighting took place during the 1836 Battle of the Alamo, is administered by the City of San Antonio.

During the battle, at least 189 Alamo defenders sacrificed their lives for liberty instead of surrendering to the tyrannical Mexican president Antonio López de Santa Anna.

The Alamo emerged from the battle as a sacred shrine for individual freedom in the face of collective evil.

Now the shrine is besieged by the collective UN, whose policies follow Santa Ana’s dictatorial rule rather than the values the Alamo defenders died for “in the name of Liberty, of patriotism and everything dear to the American character” as Alamo Commander William B. Travis wrote in Feb. 1836. Texas Heritage Society - The Travis Letter - "Victory or Death"

How exactly would UN management affect the Alamo?

In 2002, the UNESCO World Heritage Center published a manual entitled “Managing Tourism at World Heritage Sites,” which outlines UN obligations that the historic site managers are expected to follow. http://www.missionsofsanantonio.org/assets/san-antonio-missions---world-heritage-_toc_executive-.pdf

The manual states that it is “the duty of the international community as a whole to cooperate” in managing World Heritage Sites, meaning that bureaucrats from China or France could oversee and influence the Alamo’s operation.

One of the “protection obligations” of a World Heritage Site is the requirement to “use the World Heritage logo,” meaning that the Alamo Plaza would be adorned with UN symbols.

A UN flag may even be hoisted above the Alamo, which is typical at World Heritage Sites such as the Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site in Illinois. UNESCO In the Spotlight: Education and Culture: A Visit to Cahokia Mounds, A World Heritage Site



The manual also suggests strategies for restricting public access to heritage sites due to “environmental concerns” under the guise of “sustainable” tourism, borrowing key words from Agenda 21.
DEMOCRATS  AGAINST  U. N.  AGENDA  21 - OK, So what is Agenda 21? And why should I care? Part 1
Some may say that if the Alamo is designated a World Heritage Site, which is expected by 2015, the UN wouldn’t necessarily control it because the Alamo would “remain” under sovereign jurisdiction.

Yet as we constantly see with Agenda 21, local city governments adopt policies “recommended” by the UN as if they were law.

The UN’s pressure has already been felt in San Antonio after the city nixed a proposed downtown hotel tower because it would have jeopardized the Alamo’s World Heritage status.

Other downtown businesses may suffer worse fates because, under the terms of the World Heritage Convention, governments are expected to protect heritage sites beyond their borders, infringing upon private property in the process.

In 1995, for example, then President Bill Clinton asked the UN to declare Yellowstone Park in Wyoming a “World Heritage Site in Danger,” giving him the “international obligation” to shut down a private mine three miles away from the park, even though the mine predated the park by 150 years.

Sovereign jurisdiction means little when governments and the UN are completely interconnected.

So once again, 177 years after the historic battle for liberty, the Alamo is under siege.

Not happy here. The UN needs a new residence in Venezuela. Or Syria.

The settlers in Texas had to become citizens of Mexico. In 1830 slavery in Texas was banned by the Mexican government. How much did that have to do with the Revolution in 1836? It's not a topic often discussed.

Good luck to all,

In my particular visits to the Alamo I never read anything relating to it. I never saw the papers that President Houston wrote outlining these issues.

There is this though. I don't find Andrew Jackson as admirable myself. And it looks like the kind of thing that many despised outspoken critics of BOcare scream about.
By Davy Crockett;

• It was expected of me that I was to bow to the name of Andrew Jackson, and follow him in all his motions, and windings, and turnings, even at the expense of my consciences and judgment. Such a thing was new to me, and a total stranger to my principles. ... His famous, or rather I should say infamous Indian bill was brought forward and, and I opposed it from the purest motives in the world. Several of my colleagues got around me, and told me how well they loved me, and that I was ruining myself. They said it was a favorite measure of the President, and I ought to go for it. I told them I believed it was a wicked unjust measure, and that I should go against it, let the cost to myself be what it might; that I was willing to go with General Jackson in everything that I believed was honest and right; but further than this, I wouldn't go for him, or any other man in the whole creation.
  • On President Jackson and the Indian Removal Act, in Ch. 17

• Although our great man at the head of the nation, has changed his course, I will not change mine. ... I was also a supporter of this administration after it came into power, and until the Chief Magistrate changed the principles which he professed before his election. When he quitted those principles, I quit him. I am yet a Jackson man in principles, but not in name... I shall insist upon it that I am still a Jackson man, but General Jackson is not; he has become a Van Buren man.
  • On US President Andrew Jackson, as quoted in David Crockett: The Man and the Legend (1994) by James Atkins Shackford, p. 112

And the best one "You can go to hell -- I'm going to Texas!"

Andrew Jackson was a mentor to a young Sam Houston in Nashville.

Two points:

#1. Rest assured you won't read anything at the Alamo about slavery and the Texas Revolution. If memory serves (and sometimes it double-faults) there is a video documentary shown there that touches on this issue if you are paying very close attention.

#2. There is an interesting parallel between Andy Jackson (who, like so many folks, did some very good things and some very bad things) and Mr. Obama. When he wanted to be a land speculator and deal in Spanish land grants, he renounced his American citizenship and declared his allegiance to the King of Spain.

While the accusations that Mr. Obama is not a natural born citizen are obviously false, Jackson was not an American citizen (at least according to modern law) when he was elected President.

Finally, there are some serious issues regarding Ted Cruz being a natural born citizen. It will be interesting how that turns out...

Good luck to all,

When Stephen F. Austin brought colonists from the U.S. to Texas in 1821, they had to agree to be Mexican citizens, become Catholic and not own slaves. A few did, most didn't. Then other Anglos came into East Texas and were there illegally> One was William B. Travis. Bowie came to San Antonio in the late 1820's, married the vice governors daughter in 1831 and the rest they say is History. If you have questions go to Alamo de Parras or the Texas State Historical Association website OR pm me. ///Now, for something cooler, today's San Antonio newspaper(mysanantonio.com) has a slide show(bottom of page) of Texas ghost towns. They left a bunch out, but here is your starting place. Directions on search at Thexas State Historical Association-The Handbook of Texas Online...As for you, Mr. RJC: I LIKE YOU, YOU MAKE ME LAUGH...

Andrew Jackson was a mentor to a young Sam Houston in Nashville.

True enough, But...

When Texas joined the union, Houston became one of its two United States senators, along with Thomas Jefferson Rusk (see SENATORS). Houston served in the Senate from February 21, 1846, until March 4, 1859. Beginning with the 1848 election, he was mentioned as a possible candidate for president. He even had a biography published in 1846 by Charles Edwards Lester entitled Sam Houston and His Republic, which amounted to campaign publicity. As senator, Houston emerged as an ardent Unionist, true to his association with Andrew Jackson, a stand that made him an increasingly controversial figure. He stridently opposed the rising sectionalism of the antebellum period and delivered eloquent speeches on the issue. A supporter of the 1820 Missouri Compromise, which banned slavery north of latitude 36°30', Houston voted in 1848 for the Oregon Bill prohibiting the "peculiar institution" in that territory, a vote proslavery Southerners later held against him. Although he was a slaveowner who defended slavery in the South, Houston again clashed with his old nemesis who led the proslavery forces when he opposed John C. Calhoun's Southern Address in 1849.
Houston always characterized himself as a Southern man for the Union and opposed any threats of disunity, whether from Northern or Southern agitators. He incurred the permanent wrath of proslavery elements by supporting the Compromise of 1850, a series of measures designed to ensure sectional harmony. In 1854, Houston alienated Democrats in Texas and the South even further by opposing the Kansas-Nebraska Bill because it allowed the status of slavery to be determined by popular sovereignty, a concept he saw as potentially destabilizing to the nation. He likewise embraced the principles of the American (Know-Nothing) party as a response to growing states'-rights sentiment among the Democrats. In 1854, he joined the Baptist Church, no doubt in partial response to the troubles of this period of his life. His career in the Senate was effectively ended when, in 1855, the Texas legislature officially condemned his position on the Kansas-Nebraska Act.

"#1. Rest assured you won't read anything at the Alamo about slavery and the Texas Revolution. If memory serves (and sometimes it double-faults) there is a video documentary shown there that touches on this issue if you are paying very close attention."

Slavery has been dead in this country a long time. Secured by American Blood. I am amazed people still try to justify either it's existence, or their hate because of it. History is replete with slavery, thousands of years and still going on today in certain parts of the world.

If you want to make it an issue, go to the places where it still happens and rail at them.

"Hate?"

The first post on this Thread stated "The Alamo emerged from the battle as a sacred shrine for individual freedom in the face of collective evil."

I pointed out there is more to the story than that. That's "hate?"

WoW!

Guess we have seen the slavery issue thrown at any and everything so often some of us are getting tired of hearing it. It is used as a divisive issue way too often. And it is always used when trying to draw a parallel when none exists. The only relevance it has in current US events is to be aware of history so it does not repeat itself, with Communism.

 

[Treasure_Hunter]

Thread is about the UN flag possibly flying over The Alamo today, not about slavery 177 years ago.......Please keep race and slavery out of thread.

I don't like the UN flag flying above the American flag anywhere in this country, in fact I don't like it flying in this country period.....

I've never seen - in real life or in a photo - the UN flag fly over the American flag. I doubt that's going to happen.

If the UN flag ends up over the Alamo, I guess the next place for one would be the embassy in Benghazi.

The United Nations Headquarters Building in New York City, the U.N. Flag holds the most prominent position.

No flag should ever fly above or to the right of the American flag on American soil including the UN...
