With far more political acuity than critics expected, President George Bush disarmed world government proponents while promising more aid to developing nations. The U.N.'s High Level Panel on Financing Development concluded its four-day conference in Monterrey, Mexico, without explicit authorization for U.N. taxes on currency exchange, fossil fuels and a host of other tax targets. The conference, publicized as a poverty-reducing initiative, was, in fact, another effort by the U.N. to gain taxing authority. Ernesto Zedillo, head of the U.N. panel, issued a report on June 28, calling for the new taxing authority. U.S. delegates to the conference made it...

While President Obama and Speaker John Boehner are wrestling with whether or not they will agree to raise taxes, United Nations delegates partying in Doha, Qatar are planning to impose a new kind of tax on Americans. U.N. conferees have been discussing how they can start a global tax that would hit Americans hard. The U.N. bureaucrats are not deterred by the fact that Americans should be protected by our U.S. Constitution, Article 1, Section 7, which specifies that "all bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives." The greedy globalist U.N. bureaucrats have been conniving for...

It should come as no surprise that President Obama will raise taxes if he is re-elected. But here’s the shocker: He will invite the United Nations to tax Americans directly. And the proceeds would go directly to the Third World. In this way, Barack Obama will, indeed, realize the dreams of his father.

Occupy’s busting out on a new path … So Adbusters is asking people all around the world to march on Oct. 29. “We want to send a clear message that we the people want to slow down this global casino.” And Adbusters does have one specific demand, a 1 percent tax on financial-sector transactions. Some form of that idea, known as the “Robin Hood” tax. Dominant Social Theme: We want justice for the world and the UN will give it to us. Free-Market Analysis: Kalle Lasn, founder of Adbusters magazine, based in Vancouver, B.C. – the magazine that issued the...

That Barack Obama is a dangerous socialist is a given. His hard left orientation and what he would do if ever given the power of the White House and Congress should make Americans shutter. Last December Obama slipped back into Washington to be the main sponsor of Senate Bill, 2433, The Global Poverty Act of 2007. Obama’s bill will give our money away to the whole world. It’s a kowtowing new tax on the American taxpayers payable to the corrupt socialist United Nations, and no amount of lipstick can dress this pig up. The official description of the bill is...

Are you ready for a new U.N. TAX TAKEN OUT OF YOUR PAYCHECK?WHY again did Liberals (i.e. "Democrats") Oppose Bolton to the U.N.?NoDNC.com staff While the disaster in Louisiana has had everyone's attention, a little known skirmish in the United Nations was taking place.  The United Nations was trying to force America into paying a Global Tax to the U.N.  Meanwhile, the democrat media propaganda machine was out in force to continue its lies and deception of the American public.  Was the real opposition to John Bolton as Ambassador to the United Nations because the democrats and the left see the United Nations...

<p>The oceans of the world are being overfished. The solution: roaming robots that bring fish farming to the open seas.</p> <p>About 9 miles southeast of New Hampshire, near the Isles of Shoals, what seems to be an ordinary yellow navigation buoy sways in the Atlantic chop. Like a regular buoy, it's a metal cylinder that extends 10 feet above the surface and blinks its lights to warn away passing ships. Unlike a regular buoy, though, it has an access hatch that leads to an inner chamber crammed with enough electronics to merit its own IT staff. Indeed, this may be the first buoy in history that had its launch delayed by a software glitch.</p>

An attempt by developing countries to put management of the internet under United Nations auspices is likely to be shelved at next month's world information summit in Geneva - but the issue is now firmly on the international agenda, summit sources say. It will be one of the main bones of contention this week as government negotiators and non-governmental organisations descend on Geneva for the final round of preparatory talks on the draft declaration and plan of action due to be endorsed by heads of state and government at the summit on December 10-12. However, UN officials say they see...

Reprinted from NewsMax.comGerman Socialists Urge Abolition of American Way of LifeCliff KincaidExclusive for NewsMax.comTuesday, April 9, 2002WASHINGTON – A controversial Green organization linked to Germany’s Socialist Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer is launching a campaign to impose $300 billion in global taxes and radically transform the American way of life. European disagreements with the U.S. on matters such as the environment and the Middle East are nothing new. But Heinrich Boll Foundation, an arm of the German Green Party, is taking the offensive to Washington today, when it will sponsor a conference at the Ronald Reagan Building to put pressure on...

April 15th is coming, and you’re getting ready to file your tax return. Throughout the year you paid federal taxes through withholding, including Social Security payroll taxes. You also paid state income taxes, unless you’re fortunate enough to live in Texas or another state without an income tax. You paid local property taxes. You paid local sales taxes every time you bought something, and you paid numerous miscellaneous taxes such as vehicle license fees and federal gas taxes. Like most people, you probably feel taxed to death by all these city, county, state, and federal taxes. Well, hold on to...
