“The purpose of politics, [our founders] understood, was to keep government in its properly subordinate role, thereby leaving people free to build a better and more civilized world.” (William Norman Grigg, A Better World, The New American, October 20, 2003.)

“…the single largest source of…lethal violence was the unrestrained, lawless state in all of its manifestations, which according to political scientist R. J. Rummel killed nearly 170,000,000 human beings during that period. This hideous accomplishment easily dwarfs the combined achievements of all private sector criminal syndicates throughout recorded history.” (William Norman Grigg, describing the folly of disarming civilians and giving a monopoly of power to the state. Global Gun Grab: The United Nations Campaign to Disarm Americans, p. 9-10.)

“[The UN propaganda film Armed to the Teeth: The World-Wide Plague of Small Arms] imputes to firearms a capacity for independent malice and the ability to ‘murder indiscriminately.’ Curiously, however, the UN seems to believe that firearms are miraculously purged of their demonic qualities when they are wielded by representatives of the State.” (William Norman Grigg, Global Gun Grab: The United Nations Campaign to Disarm Americans, p. 72. October 2001.)

“The most effective means of enforcing civilian disarmament, as we have seen, is psychological disarmament—inducing people to turn in their weapons voluntarily. After all, even the most efficient and comprehensive police state ultimately depends upon the cooperation of its subjects.” (William Norman Grigg, Global Gun Grab: The United Nations Campaign to Disarm Americans, p. 81. October 2001.)

“The chief problem with the NRA's decision to obtain NGO status is that by doing so, it—like scores of other ‘conservative’ organizations—has helped to advance the UN's claim to be a global legislature acting on behalf of the peoples of the world.” (William Norman Grigg, Global Gun Grab: The United Nations Campaign to Disarm Americans, p. 112. October 2001.)

“We must find and exploit the UN's greatest vulnerability—its source of funds. Herein lies one of the best–kept secrets about the United Nations: The UN is entirely dependent upon American sufferance and subsidy. Cut off its access to the U.S. taxpayers, and the UN will quickly collapse.” (William Norman Grigg, Global Gun Grab: The United Nations Campaign to Disarm Americans, p. 121. October 2001.)

“…the JBS devotes its efforts to the strategy employed by the Founding Fathers in the decades leading up to American independence: educating the citizenry in sound principles of government; warning the public about the existence of an organized, covert threat to our liberties and free institutions; and mobilizing patriots in an organized, principle–centered effort to defeat the enemies of freedom.” (William Norman Grigg, Global Gun Grab: The United Nations Campaign to Disarm Americans, p. 122-123. October 2001.)

“On December 9, 1958, during the founding meeting of the John Birch Society, JBS Founder Robert Welch warned that the long-term objective of both international Communism and its allies within the American political elite was “to induce the gradual surrender of American sovereignty, piece by piece and step by step, to various international organizations—of which the United Nations is the outstanding but far from the only example….” It was not until 16 years after Robert Welch uttered this “extremist” statement that the chief organ of the American political establishment confirmed Welch’s description of the incremental, conspiratorial approach to the creation of world government.

“In his notorious April 1974 Foreign Affairs essay “The Hard Road to World Order,” Richard N. Gardner, using terms nearly identical to those used by Welch, wrote that a “case-by-case approach can produce some remarkable concessions of ‘sovereignty’ that could not be achieved on an across-the-board basis.” Rather than pursuing “instant world government,” Gardner explained in the policy journal of the Council on Foreign Relations, “the ‘house of world order’ will have to be built from the bottom up rather than from the top down”—by means of “and end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece.…” (William Norman Grigg, Global Gun Grab: The United Nations Campaign to Disarm Americans, p. 123–124. October 2001.)
