Independence Hall Given to UN Control

'Esclarmonde' writes, "Independence Hall in Philadelphia, one of the most important symbols of American freedom and sovereignty, has been placed under the United Nations jurisdiction as a "World Heritage Area." It's one of at least 17 historic sites in the U.S. now controlled -- to one extent or another -- by the U.N. Others include the Statue of Liberty, Yellowstone National Park, Everglades National Park, Yosemite National Park, the Grand Canyon and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park."
