The non-existent Atlantic Charter, the only basis for forming the UN

The Atlantic Charter was a pivotal policy statement issued during World War II on 14 August 1941 which defined the Allied goals for the post-war world. The leaders of the United Kingdom and the United States drafted the work and all the Allies of World War II later confirmed it. The Charter stated the ideal goals of the war: no territorial aggrandizement; no territorial changes made against the wishes of the people (self-determination); restoration of self-government to those deprived of it; reduction of trade restrictions; global cooperation to secure better economic and social conditions for all; freedom from fear and want; freedom of the seas; and abandonment of the use of force, as well as disarmament of aggressor nations. Adherents of the Atlantic Charter signed the Declaration by United Nations on 1 January 1942, which became the basis for the modern United Nations.

US President Franklin D. Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill drafted the Atlantic Charter at the Atlantic Conference (codenamed Riviera) in Placentia Bay, Newfoundland. They issued it as a joint declaration on 14 August 1941 at Naval Station Argentia although the United States would not officially enter the War until four months later. The policy was issued as a statement; as such there was no formal, legal document entitled "The Atlantic Charter". It detailed the goals and aims of the Allied powers concerning the war and the postwar world.

Churchill and Roosevelt began communicating in 1939; this was the first of their 11 wartime meetings. Both men traveled in secret; Roosevelt was on a ten-day fishing trip. On 9 August 1941, the British battleship HMS Prince of Wales steamed into Placentia Bay, with Churchill on board, and met the American heavy cruiser USS Augusta, where Roosevelt and members of his staff were waiting. . . .

The Atlantic Charter made clear that the United States was supporting the United Kingdom in the war. Both the US and UK wanted to present their unity, regarding their mutual principles and hopes for a peaceful postwar world and the policies they agreed to follow once the Nazis had been defeated.[7] A fundamental aim was to focus on the peace that would follow, and not specific American involvement and war strategy, although American involvement appeared increasingly likely.[8]

The eight principal points of the Charter were:
    no territorial gains were to be sought by the United States or the United Kingdom;
    territorial adjustments must be in accord with the wishes of the peoples concerned;
    all people had a right to self-determination;
    trade barriers were to be lowered;
    there was to be global economic cooperation and advancement of social welfare;
    the participants would work for a world free of want and fear;
    the participants would work for freedom of the seas;
    there was to be disarmament of aggressor nations, and a common disarmament after the war.

Although Clause Three clearly states that all peoples have the right to decide their form of government, it fails to say what changes are necessary in both social and economic terms, so as to achieve freedom and peace.

Clause Four, with respect to international trade, consciously emphasized that both "victor [and] vanquished" would be given market access "on equal terms." This was a repudiation of the punitive trade relations that were established within Europe after World War I, as exemplified by the Paris Economy Pact.

Only two clauses expressly discuss national, social, and economic conditions necessary after the war, despite this significance.

No signed version ever existed. The document was threshed out through several drafts and the final agreed text was telegraphed to London and Washington. President Roosevelt gave Congress the Charter's content on 21 August 1941. He said later, "There isn't any copy of the Atlantic Charter, so far as I know. I haven't got one. The British haven't got one. The nearest thing you will get is the [message of the] radio operator on Augusta and Prince of Wales. That's the nearest thing you will come to it ... There was no formal document."

The British War Cabinet replied with its approval and a similar acceptance was telegraphed from Washington. During this process, an error crept into the London text, but this was subsequently corrected. The account in Churchill's The Second World War concludes "A number of verbal alterations were agreed, and the document was then in its final shape", and makes no mention of any signing or ceremony. In Churchill's account of the Yalta Conference he quotes Roosevelt saying of the unwritten British constitution that "it was like the Atlantic Charter – the document did not exist, yet all the world knew about it. Among his papers he had found one copy signed by himself and me, but strange to say both signatures were in his own handwriting."

Acceptance by Inter-Allied Council and by United Nations

The Allied nations and leading organisations quickly and widely endorsed the Charter. At the subsequent meeting of the Inter-Allied Council in London on 24 September 1941, the governments in exile of Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Greece, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, and Yugoslavia, as well as the Soviet Union, and representatives of the Free French Forces, unanimously adopted adherence to the common principles of policy set forth in the Atlantic Charter. On 1 January 1942, a larger group of nations, who adhered to the principles of the Atlantic Charter, issued a joint Declaration by United Nations stressing their solidarity in the defense against Hitlerism.

 [Note that the paragraph in the Declaration shown above following the statement, "The Governments signatory hereto," ends with a direct reference to the "Atlantic Charter."]

Impact on the Axis powers

The Axis powers interpreted these diplomatic agreements as a potential alliance against them. In Tokyo, the Atlantic Charter rallied support for the militarists in the Japanese government, who pushed for a more aggressive approach against the US and Britain.

The British dropped millions of flysheets over Germany to allay fears of a punitive peace that would destroy the German state. The text cited the Charter as the authoritative statement of the joint commitment of Great Britain and the US "not to admit any economical discrimination of those defeated" and promised that "Germany and the other states can again achieve enduring peace and prosperity."

The most striking feature of the discussion was that an agreement had been made between a range of countries that held diverse opinions, who were accepting that internal policies were relevant to the international problem. The agreement proved to be one of the first steps towards the formation of the United Nations.

Poetic Truth Found in Song Titles

On December 12, 2007, the following two pertinently titled audio recordings were saved from the internet, and they appear inadvertently in the file list in the order shown below:

My Songbird - EmmyLou Harris
Get Up John - EmmyLou Harris

Then down the list a couple of songs more, having been saved from the internet in January of 2009, is another pertinent song:

Escape - Enrique

Truth in poetry form comes from all sorts of sources, even from song titles.

Here is a photo of John McTraitor leaving the Hanoi Hilton in Vietnam striding forward with no crutches needed. The Naval officer behind him is not assisting him.

Here is a photo of him being pardoned by Nixon. Notice the forward leaning pathetic sycophantic position, as he pretends to have a need for crutches after his horrible time in Hanoi. Must have gotten badly beaten at home after his return, eh?



Though he had not been even charged much less convicted, Nixon pardoned him. For what? Pardons are not possible for those who have not even been charged, and Nixon got pardoned by Ford the same way later after he resigned over the Watergate crimes.


"Songbird John McCain" has indeed now gotten up and made an "Escape" from justice for now. Yet, even if his death was faked, nevertheless, he will have to face Divine Justice for his treachery.

"Escaping the Wheel of Fortune" by The Unknown Artist

"Escaping the Wheel of Fortune," mixed media computer graphics and oil on canvas by The Unknown Artist. See more on its meaning below the artwork.

The Wheel of Fortune is a Tarot major arcana card, and escaping it requires going to the center where the spinning cycles of the wheel do not affect life. 

"The Wheel of Fortune is one of the few cards in the major arcana that does not have a human figure as a focal point. This is because its center is above the realm of man - in the higher levels (clouds) where the destinies of all are woven together in the tapestry of life." 

That quotation and the following summary points were found at <http://www.learntarot.com/maj10.htm>

being at a turning point

reversing
moving in a different direction
turning things around
having a change in fortune
altering the present course
being surprised at a turn of events

feeling movement

experiencing change
having the tempo of life speed up
being swept up in new developments
rejoining the world of activity
getting involved

having a personal vision

seeing how everything connects
becoming more aware
uncovering patterns and cycles
expanding your outlook
gaining greater perspective
discovering your role and purpose
