The UN International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights states that everyone shall have the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, except as may be subject to such limitations as are prescribed by law.Article 19 establishes the right to freedom of expression, except as prescribed by law,Article 21 establishes the right to peaceful assembly, except as prescribed by law.Article 22 establishes the right to freedom of association, except as prescribed by law.As is clearly evident, all these supposed ‘rights and freedoms’ which, according to the US Constitution and Bill of Rights, are irrevocable by government, ***are now rights and freedoms dispensed and controlled*** by a central government called the UN.So much for an ‘inalienable right’.

It is said that he fought against the looting rulers and returned the loot to those who had been robbed, but that is not the meaning of the legend which has survived. He is remembered, not as a champion of property, but as a champion of need, not as a defender of the robbed, but as a provider of the poor. He is held to be the first man who assumed a halo of virtue by practicing charity with wealth which he did not own, by giving away goods which he had not produced, by making others pay for the luxury of his pity.
