The Draft is Back - Again!
"Universal National Service Act of 2006"
(H.R. HR 4752 IH)
"To provide for the common defense by requiring all persons in the
United States, including women, between the ages of 18 and 42 to
perform a period of military service or a period of civilian service in
furtherance of the national defense and homeland security, and for
other purposes."[1]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An ominous bill was reintroduced in Congress on February 14. If it
passes, our sons and daughters will be drafted into a form of
government service unlike anything we have seen in the past! Yet the
media has been strangely silent. Why?
Sponsored by Democrat Charlie Rangel, it applies to all men and women
from age 18 to 42. Young mothers as well as fathers would be "subject
to induction." Do you wonder how this might affect family life, child
raising or homeschooling?
According to H.R. 4752, those who are exempted from military duty
because of health problems or "conscientious objections" [Sec.7, 8],
could be assigned to "noncombatant" or "civilian service."[1] Like
other recruits into civilian service, they would be trained in
collective thinking through the dialectic process.[3] [See Serving the
Greater Whole]
Not only could "every U.S. Citizen" be called to mandatory service;
other youths "residing in the United States" would be included as well.
Would such residents include foreign students, young workers with
visas, illegal aliens...? The bill doesn't tell us. Instead it leaves
many specific decisions -- such as "the number of persons" needed for
"the uniformed services." up to the President. (Do you wonder who might
fill his shoes two years from now?) Considering the world's rising
peacekeeping demands those needs could grow fast.
The "short title" is sobering: "Universal National Service Act of
2006." The word "universal" confirms that -- at the right age -- all
persons would participate in this "national" program unless
specifically disqualified. But the public isn't told that some of
America's most powerful service organizations are part of the UN
network for molding politically correct human resources through
"service learning" around the world.[4]
The "official title" of the bill adds more details: "To provide for the
common defense by requiring all persons in the United States, including
women, between the ages of 18 and 42 to perform a period of military
service or a period of civilian service in furtherance of the national
defense and homeland security, and for other purposes."[1]
Notice the last phrase, "for other purposes." That's open-ended, dear
friends. It could mean anything our global managers want to do with or
through the human resources at their disposal. Keep in mind, a major
objective of "community service" and "service learning" is to instill
new collective values in every "server," for personal beliefs must be
conformed to the new pluralistic consensus. Nationalism,
"fundamentalism" and other obstacles to global solidarity must be
washed from their minds by immersion into diverse cultural climates and
social dialogues led by trained facilitators.
At the 1998 "Fourth Global Conferences on National Youth Service
(NYS)," Donald J. Eberly, the president of The International
Associations of National Youth Service (IANYS), traced the history of
this global project. Ponder this progression:
"...the roots of NYS as a global idea go back... to 1912, when Eugen
Rosenstock-Huessy of Germany called for a Planetary Service. His idea
was that young people from all nations would work together on
constructive projects.
"They go back to about 1919, when Pierre Ceresole of Switzerland
created Service Civil International. They go back to 1933, when
President Roosevelt of the United States established the Civilian
Conservation Corps.
"They go back to 1949 when Mao Zedong of China issued his twin mottoes
of 'serve the people' and 'learn through practice.' [See PRAXIS]These
mottoes have formed the basis for huge amounts of youth service in the
decades since 1949...."[5]
Exactly. There you have the roots of today's popular "service
learning." Socialist training for compliant workers!
UNESCO was a major participant in this conference. After all, it's
CCIVS (Coordinating Committee on International Voluntary Service) works
with over "140 member organisations... some of which are international
organisations with national branches in over 100 countries."[4] United
States was represented by key leaders in social and corporate
development -- including the Rite of Passage Project and the Ford
Foundation which has been funding "progressive" world programs for
decades.[6]
All help fine-tune the psycho-social strategies that conform each
server to the planned solidarity. And the Bush administration's massive
education system (No Child Left Behind) -- which is part of UNESCO's
world education system (Education for All) -- fits right in. From
pre-school through high school, it trains children to reject
traditional values, to embrace global socialism and to serve an
ever-changing world community that rejects the unchanging truths of
God. See "Molding Human Resources for the Global Workforce"
Universities intensify the indoctrination. But the Universal National
Service may become the cultural "Rite of Passage" into adult life,
pressing everyone into UNESCO's mold and sorting out those who "resist"
the new global values.
On September 29, 2003, Laura Bush helped UNESCO's General Conference
celebrate the U.S. return to UNESCO membership. Speaking in Paris, the
First Lady -- titled the "Honorary Ambassador for the Decade of
Literacy" -- reminded her audience that,
"One year ago, President Bush stood before the United Nations General
Assembly and pledged that the United States of America would return to
UNESCO as a symbol of our nation's commitment to human dignity. Our
delegation is proud to be here today representing our country and
fulfilling that commitment. We believe in working with the nations of
the world to promote the values shared by people throughout the
world....
As of October 1st, the United States government will once again be a
full, active and enthusiastic participant in UNESCO's important mission
to promote peace and freedom. And the people of my country will work
with our UNESCO colleagues throughout the world to advance education,
science, culture and understanding...."[7] Emphasis added.
As a UN "Ambassador for the Decade of Literacy", she apparently
believes that each youth must be taught and trained to accept UNESCO's
social-, cultural- and environmental literacies.[8] Federico Mayor,
former head of UNESCO, summarized their combined mission back in 1996,
"Citizenship for the next century is learning to live together....The
21st Century city will be a city of social solidarity.... We have to
redefine the words... [and write a new] social contract."[9]
Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Hitler were masters at redefining words and
spreading propaganda. Their "social contracts" held millions captive to
their socialist agendas. And all four used mandatory youth service to
mold young minds and to build their own compliant labor force.[10]
U.S. leaders with similar visions have been testing the concept of
mandatory service for over fifty years. Former First Lady Eleanor
Roosevelt "wanted civilian volunteers to be trained to work in nursery
schools, housing projects, and other 'meaningful' jobs."[11]
Half a century later, former President George Bush promoted his
"thousand points of light." Colin Power helped lead the President's
Summit for America's Future. "Volunteer to be a tutor in a school," he
beckoned. "Become a mentor...."[12] And President George W. Bush has
used every potential crisis along the way to promote his versions of
the planned national/international service system. Nothing boosted the
process more effectively than the assault on the World Trade Center and
the ongoing "war on terrorism."
"The best way to fight evil is by doing good," said President Bush in
his 2002 State of the Union address. "...I ask all Americans to
dedicate two years of their lives, the equivalent of 4000 hours to the
service of our country. ...get them involved in Peace Corps,
AmeriCorp, SeniorCorp or the new Citizens Corp."[13]
Last May (21), President Bush "announced a new international service
initiative known as Volunteers for Prosperity, a program to enlist and
deploy highly skilled professionals... to countries around the world to
promote global prosperity." Volunteers would be plugged into the vast
international network of non-governmental service agencies through the
Freedom Corps. "We hope eventually, tens of thousands, hundreds of
thousands will work as volunteers in the new program," said John
Bridgeland, Executive Director of USA Freedom Corps.[14]
Apparently, the military is also hoping for thousands of recruits to
meet global challenges ahead. A Mother Jones article titled "No Child
Left Unrecruited," exposes an amazing policy hidden in President Bush's
massive education law, "No Child Left Behind." American taxpayers
weren't told that "...buried deep within the law's 670 pages, is a
provision requiring public secondary schools to provide military
recruiters not only with access to facilities, but also with contact
information for every student--or face a cutoff of all federal aid....
Recruiters are up front about their plans to use school lists to
aggressively pursue students through mailing, phone calls, and personal
visits--even if parents object."[15]
While the Freedom Corps and, later, the Homeland Security Department
were building their vast service and defense networks, government
leaders and legislators have meticulously avoided the word "mandatory"
in their new laws and regulations. But their open-ended language left
convenient loopholes, and participation in community service learning
programs has become a standard requirement both for high school
graduation and college entrance in communities across our land.[16]
During the Nixon administration, a "far-reaching proposal" for "a
Universal Public Service System" exposed the hidden, long-term plans of
our globalist leaders. A November, 1970 issue of the British Scott
Report published an article titled "Universal Public Service System."
It stated:
"The basic idea the new President's committee would explore is
that 'all Americans, probably beginning somewhere between ages of 17
and 19, serve their Country for two years in one of a variety of areas,
including health and social welfare programs, and the military.'
"While similar plans for a Universal Public Service System have
surfaced from time to time in the past, what is significant about the
new recommendation is its timing and the group making it. Drafted
originally by the 'Whiz Kids' of the Kennedy and Johnson
Administrations, the new Universal Public Service proposal was proposed
by former Defense Secretary Robert McNamara just before he became head
of the World Bank. At the time, the plan received a cold reception in
Congress and was shelved....
"Recruits for the new social army would be placed in 'the school
system, day care centers, mental health and mental retardation
programs, general health facilities, community services, police, fire
protection, environmental and urban renewal programs, VISTA, and Peace
Corps.'"[2]
Sounds familiar, doesn't it? In spite of the ongoing resistance, the
relentless march toward global control keeps pressing ahead. The main
target is our children and grandchildren, and we had better prepare
them for the clash of values. Christians would want to care for people,
but when they are forced to serve the needy through a global network
that forbids the sound of His name, they are no longer free to meet
spiritual needs.
To resist the pressures to conform, our children must learn to
recognize the subtle signs of unbiblical compromise and resist
consensus thinking. It won't be easy. Even now, all public school
children -- and their values, attitudes, willingness to compromise and
readiness to conform -- are being measured, monitored and tracked in
the vast networks of the international information systems. As
school-to-work guru Marc Tucker and others have repeatedly affirmed,
higher education and better jobs will go to those whose personal data
file matches the new global goals. The same "cooperative" youth may
well win the more advantageous service assignments under the proposed
new law. Meanwhile, "traditional" thinkers could be channeled toward
the more dangerous assignments or the more watchful forms of "service
learning."
Those who have studied the rapid establishment of a global education
system under UNESCO guidelines have -- for many years -- known both the
goals and the planned outcomes of this vast transformational system.
All people (young and old) must -
participate in the consensus process
learn to think collectively, not as individuals
embrace new global values that rule out Biblical truth
be ready to conform and adapt to a world of "continual change"
become world citizens, loyal to a global community, not nation or
church
follow the track begun by the first pioneers in universal mind
control.[17]
As in the former Soviet Union, "service learning" is designed to
accomplish all these objectives. Goals 2000, the Clinton's
administration's massive education program (a continuation of the
former Bush administration's America 2000) called for a Certificate of
Initial Mastery (ICM) that would open or close doors to higher
education and good jobs according to a person's compliance with the
social agenda.
But it left a loophole. Children who dared to resist compromise would
suffer the consequences (no entrance into the higher position), but
they could still escape the mind-numbing strategies of today's
psycho-social trainers. Evasion would be far more difficult if two
looming threats become reality:
First, the universal draft into government service. At the end of WW2,
the World Health Organization (a UN agency) and the World Federation
for Mental Health (NGO) were established by "mental health" leaders in
the UK, USA and Canada. At the time, no branch of our government was
better equipped in psycho-social warfare and mental manipulation than
our military establishment. Though that may no longer be true, today's
military leaders have far more advanced weapons for psychological
warfare at hand. They would surely know how to mold the minds their
young recruits to any prescribed outcome.
Second, the inclusion of all youth and young adults, including
Christian homeschoolers, in the massive web of the international
"lifelong learning" system which might soon include mandatory service
-- the doorway to adult society. Today, as this web of control
tightens, young families still have choices. Their children can attend
a standard public school,
a government-controlled charter school,
an accredited Christian school which has been squeezed into full
compliance with global standards, or
a homeschool that is linked to local government schools and is
accountable to its system of assessments and requirements.
All of the above would hold students accountable to unthinkable
international standards.
If traditional homeschooling families are forced to participate in this
revolutionary government agenda -- including the continual assessments
that measure progress toward socialist goals -- the new global
management system would challenge their freedom to follow their
conscience or take a stand on the uncompromising truths of the Bible.
What about Christian service? For instance, could Christian youth meet
the universal service requirement by serving at an inner-city mission?
Perhaps -- if the mission is a Faith-Based government partner or
accredited by a coordinating body. But only the ministries that rely on
the "service learning" process to teach collectivism would fit.
David Hornbeck, former President of the Carnegie Foundation for the
Advancement of Teaching and Superintendent of Maryland Public Schools,
explained why. On January 25 1984, he testified in favor of "mandatory
community service at state-approved places" before the Maryland State
Board of Education. In "Human Capital," a book he co-authored with
Lester Salomon, he quoted Ernest Boyer, former U.S. Commissioner of
Education, as saying "in the end the goal of service in the schools is
to teach values -- to help all students understand that to be fully
human, one must serve."[18]
The many objections to such "involuntary servitude" has slowed the
process. But the unconstitutional visions that have been driving the
global agenda don't die easily. They keep coming back in new forms and
at more accepting times.
"As young people mature we must help them develop...a service ethic
which is geared toward the real world,: said Professor Harold G. Shane,
an influential education change agent during the last four decades.
Referring to "the global servant concept in which we will educate our
young for planetary service and eventually for some form of world
citizenship," he continued, "..implicit within the 'global servant'
concept are the moral insights that will help us live with the
regulated freedom we must eventually impose upon ourselves."[19]
While soldiers in military service might remain free to share their
faith, Christians involved in civilian service -- in America or
elsewhere -- would be restricted. They could share God's love but not
His Word. They could bring physical comforts, but God's spiritual
comforts would be forbidden.
What then can we do?
Pray! Make it a priority to encourage your child in Biblical faith and
truth. Awaken friends, neighbors and relatives to the problem. Call or
write representatives. Then put your trust in the sovereign God in the
universe, who has power to guard and guide His children -- no matter
how oppressive the world system becomes.
Be encouraged by the true church in China, where mandatory service was
a major tool for teaching Communist ideals. In the midst of cruel
oppression, the uncompromising Christians grew strong in faith -- not
because of feel-good marketing or worldly prosperity, but because the
beacon of their eternal hope in Christ shone all the brighter in the
midst of persecution!
"Why do the nations rage,
And the people plot [conspire] a vain thing?
The kings of the earth set themselves,
And the rulers take counsel together,
Against the Lord and against His Anointed...."
"Blessed are all those who
put their trust in Him."
Psalm 2:1-2, 12

bill, the 'No Child Left Behind Act'. ... Students or parents who
object could opt out and withhold that information." But Major Brenda
Leong, a policy officer in Department of Defense, argued that "Defense
and the Department of Education have enforcement powers, but only
Education Department can threaten district funding. The Defense
Department's policy is that opt-in' does not comply with the law....

Not only did it go straight to committee and died just like last years draft
