George Soros, the radical, far-left billionaire, with a long history of antipathy toward American interests, now sits on a United Nations (UN) panel charged with organizing a $100 billion wealth transfer from the developed world to the underdeveloped world in the name of environmentalism. News of his involvement here is buried away in a New York Times report but it should be the lead sentence.
Developing countries must help combat the many challenges associated with global warming, according to a UN panel. That is assuming all concerned parties accept the premise of catastrophic human induced climate change and the New York Times certainly does. The price tag has been fixed at $100 billion and the villain here is of course the United States, which refuses to comply with anti-emissions regulations.
It’s a familiar script that is wearing thin. The alarmist rationale has been dealt serious setbacks in recent months thanks to updated research and the growing “climategate” scandal. But international bureaucrats and transnationalists opposed to America’s free market system remain undeterred in their course of action.
Last December, “international leaders” agreed that it would be necessary for the developed world to fork over $100 billion by 2020 during the Copenhagen climate summit. But the methodology and details of this transfer remain a point of consternation and contention. The U.N. panel has just released a report that offers up some suggestions.
“The attitude of the developing nations was that the industrialized world caused the pollution, so the richer states should cut a check for reparations and another check to help pursue clean development,” the Times report notes. “The richer nations balked at the prospect. Some of those differences remain in the report: the developing world thinks the financing should come in the form of public aid, whereas the developed world wants to rely heavily on private investment, for example. The differences were indeed on display during the release of the report.”
The nexus between environmentalism and anti-Americanism is not difficult to unravel. Van Jones, an avowed communist, who previously served as a czar for the Obama Administration, was forced to step down when far left history came to light. Buried deep in the NYT piece is a revealing nugget that should have been in the lead.
“The 21-member United Nations panel included Lawrence H. Summers, the White House’s departing national economics adviser; the billionaire financier George Soros; Ernesto Cordero Arroyo, the finance minister of Mexico; and Christine Lagarde, the French economic minister,” the Times reports.
That’s right, the same George Soros who has railed against American independence and sovereignty is now organization a massive wealth transfer to third world countries in the name of environmentalism.
The headline should read: George Soros Led United Nations Panel Organizes $100 Billion Anti-U.S. Shakedown Effort. But that it does not should surprise none.

Ping.
Time to drop the UN and Soros. The UN has outlived its usefulness.
Half the planets in the solar system show signs of warming.
We can’t delay any more. Stop climate change now. Whatever the cost, its cheap when you consider whats at stake.
Just say “No” and then can the U.N.
I’d hoped that NYC ‘contrail’ was from an Air Force bomber over the UN but no luck!
I hear a lot of rumblings about Glen Beck...but, I say, “God Bless Glen Beck!”
You forgot your sarcasm tag...
By the way, when almost everyone around Obama is on Soros’ dime one way or another, and when Obama is signing into law bills written by Soros and his minions, when in fact laws are showing up on congress’ doorstep written by Soros’ guys and it gets voted into law unread...
Isn’t that the very definition of official corruption?
It looks like high crimes and misdemeanors that must be dealt with.
Has the UN ever had any usefulness?
I’ve been watching Glenn Beck’s coverage of Soros. Most of it is not new, but when he laid it all out with the example of what happened in Czechoslovakia, it all hit home. Combine that with the fact that Soros sent his number 2 guy to speak with Beck’s assistant about not covering the Soros story, and it is just plain scary.
I’m going out and buy food to store. I’m thinking that if Beck is wrong, and the inflation doesn’t occur, I won’t have lost anything.
Back out of the UN and kick it out of the US. And our communists black Muslim leader is part of the entire destruction of the United States.
Beck has even made my doubting relations see the light. He’s a good teacher.
It looks like the UN has been bought again. At one time Saddam owned it, paid for in Oil for Food money, oil contracts to Security Council members, and direct payments to UN bureaucrats. Then Bush hanged him.
So now Soros seems to have bought it. Maybe he got a two-for-one deal when he bought the DNC. Maybe we need to deal with him too.
One thing the new Congress can do is have hearings and subpeona Soro’s sorrya$$ to testify just what part his shennnigans had in causing the current economic collapse.
***This Meglomaniac soros is in a corner and is lashing out...beware.***
He’s 80 years-old and probably suffering from dementia. With death around the corner - he is racheting up his madness. IIRC, G.Beck has not discussed or analysed his children/heirs regarding the continuation of his ‘legacy’.
Although he became a naturalized US citizen in 1961 at the age of 31 - he clearly did not do it because he loves this country - he did it to abuse our freedoms and secure his own safety. He truly is ‘a man without a country’ who wants to rule the world.
He is doing more damage around the world with his ill-gotten gains - than Al Quaeda with their guns and bombs.
Hey - wait a minute&&^(&%%%##%$#@!!!!$%??? Are you thinking what I’m thinking??
