WTF is “Natural Law”???

Mike Pompeo is the nation’s Secretary of State.

Created in 1789 by the Congress as the successor to the Department of Foreign Affairs, the Department of State is the senior executive Department of the U.S. Government. The Secretary of State’s duties relating to foreign affairs have not changed significantly since then, but they have become far more complex as international commitments multiplied. These duties – the activities and responsibilities of the State Department – include the following:

• Serves as the President’s principal adviser on U.S. foreign policy;
  
  
• Conducts negotiations relating to U.S. foreign affairs;
  
  
• Grants and issues passports to American citizens and exequaturs to foreign consuls in the United States;
  
  
• Advises the President on the appointment of U.S. ambassadors, ministers, consuls, and other diplomatic representatives;
  
  
• Advises the President regarding the acceptance, recall, and dismissal of the representatives of foreign governments;
  
  
• Personally participates in or directs U.S. representatives to international conferences, organizations, and agencies;
  
  
• Negotiates, interprets, and terminates treaties and agreements;
  
  
• Ensures the protection of the U.S. Government to American citizens, property, and interests in foreign countries;
  
  
• Supervises the administration of U.S. immigration laws abroad;
  
  
• Provides information to American citizens regarding the political, economic, social, cultural, and humanitarian conditions in foreign countries;
  
  
• Informs the Congress and American citizens on the conduct of U.S. foreign relations;
  
  
• Promotes beneficial economic intercourse between the United States and other countries;
  
  
• Administers the Department of State;
  
  
• Supervises the Foreign Service of the United States.
  
  

In addition, the Secretary of State retains domestic responsibilities that Congress entrusted to the State Department in 1789. These include the custody of the Great Seal of the United States, the preparation of certain presidential proclamations, the publication of treaties and international acts as well as the official record of the foreign relations of the United States, and the custody of certain original treaties and international agreements. The Secretary also serves as the channel of communication between the Federal Government and the States on the extradition of fugitives to or from foreign countries.

That is the official job description for the position of Secretary of State, taken from the U.S. Government’s own website.  Please note that NOWHERE in all that verbiage does it say that the Secretary of State is in charge of setting the moral guidelines for the citizens of the United States!
Without the usual pomp and circumstance that usually accompanies announcements by the Trump regime, yesterday the State Department quietly announced the formation of a new committee to be called the Commission on Unalienable Rights, to be headed by Mike Pompeo.  According to the notice, the “nature and purpose” of the commission is …
“The Commission will provide the Secretary of State advice and recommendations concerning international human rights matters. The Commission will provide fresh thinking about human rights discourse where such discourse has departed from our nation’s founding principles of natural law and natural rights.”
Ponder on this one for a moment, if you will.  “… departed from … founding principles of natural law”???  What is “natural law”?  One definition is …
“Natural law is a philosophy asserting that certain rights are inherent by virtue of human nature, endowed by nature—traditionally by God or a transcendent source—and that these can be understood universally through human reason.”
Mike Pompeo is one of those evangelicals who are anti-everything … anti-abortion, anti-women’s rights, anti-LGBTQ, anti-Muslim … and the list goes on.  On April 3^rd, Brunei legalized the stoning to death of LGBT people.  Most of the western world was appropriately outraged.  Actor George Clooney called for a boycott of hotels owned by the Sultan of Brunei.  The governments of the EU and UK publicly called on Brunei to abandon the law.  Donald Trump and Mike Pompeo were silent. When pressured by the media to comment, Pompeo finally said he was “concerned”, but neither he nor Trump condemned the brutality.
And now, Mike Pompeo, the evangelical, the man who is only ‘concerned’ about the brutal murder of people in the LGBTQ community, is in charge of a commission on ‘natural law’.  Be afraid, people … be very afraid.
In recent weeks, we have seen numerous states infringing on women’s human rights by passing draconian laws banning a woman’s right to an abortion, even if to save her life.  We have seen laws repealed that prohibited the discrimination of LGBTQ people in almost every area, including health care.  In short, we have seen that this regime does not respect the rights of either women or the LGBTQ community.
The State Department already has an entire bureau devoted to the issues of human rights.  Human rights advocates and activists are worried that the true purpose of this commission is to strip both women and LGBTQ people of protections against discrimination.
The most worrying part, to me, is that term “natural law”, which is typically associated with religion.  The United States is a secular nation.  Some will claim it is a ‘Christian nation’, but that is not the way the Constitution, the framework for our government, is designed.  We welcome people of all or no religions to practice whatever religion … or none … they choose, but … BUT we do not design our laws in accordance with Christianity or any other religion.
For Mike Pompeo, who holds strong and narrow-minded religious views, and a group of his choosing to have input into the legal processes of this nation is a dangerous proposition … it poses, in this writer’s view, a distinct threat to the concept of separation of church and state, and it poses a threat to women and the LGBTQ community at the very least.
Few facts are available about what the commissions goals and processes are to be, and the State department refused to provide further details to the media, but this is something to keep an eye on, folks.  This may well go the way of Trump’s “Voter Fraud Commission” in 2017 and simply fade into oblivion, but what if it doesn’t?  Think about it.

"Mike Pompeo is one of those evangelicals who are anti-everything … anti-abortion, anti-women’s rights, anti-LGBTQ, anti-Muslim … and the list goes on." Its really interesting that if you speak out against the Jewish behavior, your anti-semetic, if you speak out against the slaughter of innocent children, your anti-womens rights, against LGBTQ etc, your homophobic, anti muslim, your racist....  Lets think about this....Whats wrong with protecting an unborn child? Whats wrong with showing concern over a boy in our daughters bathroom. whats wrong with trying to show the truth about Jewish aggression..Muslims and jews dont assimilate. Never have..Hmmmmm, and womens rights and the womans movement.....It is not about empowering women...It was a Rockefeller plan to get more women on the tax roll and get their children into the liberal controlled education system. Look at the kids now..They could
care less about individual rights, dont have a clue what 'natural laws" are, are clueless about the Constitution, and
are just like water,  they seek the least path of resistance...Just what the globalists ordered!
