t it is just another scheme to transfer money from American taxpayers to corrupt UN diplomats and Third World tyrants. That seems to be the main function of the UN nowadays.

Correct. What they are saying is very simple: "We are unable to be effective because we are not in control of everybody. Give us absolute authority and just see what we can do."

Once again, it's all about the money--who has it, who doesn't, who can get it, who will control it once it's confiscated. Social justice and world peace is just the current justification used to pick out collective pockets.

"Essentially the UN is proposing to transfer a full 1/3 of our GNP to the poorer countries."

Bingo..... which is why the US needs to participate.

This is very irritating..... Bill Gates buys this crap because his company is turning into a white elephant.

Development Programme (UNDP)

I believe that it was originated at the World Economic Forum in Davos in 1999. It was later fleshed out in Istanbul in 2002.

Yes indeed. At the heart of the proposal, unveiled at a gathering of world business leaders at the Swiss ski resort of Davos, is a push to get countries to account for the cost of failed policies, and use the money saved "up front" to avert crises before they hit.

This plan would slice through the Gordian knot of problems that have bedevilled the world for most of the last century. . ."Globalisation has meant the closer integration of countries, and that in turn has meant a greater need for collective action."

"Hey! That's my line!" Karl Marx.

Gordian knot? Is that some sort of hangman's knot? Hey useful idiots free tradin' away our technology, wealth, and production to developing countries, they've named Lenin's hangman's knot, Gordian knot. When they ask you "free traders" if you sell rope, run away!

The UN was a bad idea that continues to get worse!

Is it that difficult to provide a working link?

There are two money quotes here - ideas that the UN wants to float, to create wealth.

First, they create a completely artificial market in pollution credits. Instant wealth - those credits will, literally, be worth trillions. Wealth that never existed, will by fiat.

Second, that the US refuses to sign. For good reason.

And kerry is pushing it...I wonder why?

Incredible. They do not take into account the greatest problem facing the world --- Islamofascism. The cost of that around the world is staggering. Militant Islam is responsible for almost all of the major conflicts around the world. They want to destroy the world economy.

My first thought was fine, let's get rid of the US War on Poverty. Admit that FDR policies/programs still don't work, and stop them immediately. Rush said that today, too, plus, we would all live better in USA if we did that!

Figures? Like who? Mickey Mouse?

------------------

In a groundbreaking move, the People of the United States of America have suddenly discovered they can save untold BILLIONS of dollars by shoving the UN back down into that pit of Socialists from which it sprang!

I can guarantee you that is in the planning. We got a socalled single currency here already (in Euroland) and it's nothing but a disaster.

"At the heart of the proposal, unveiled at a gathering of world business leaders at the Swiss ski resort of Davos..." Funny...Wasn't Senator Kerry at this resort earlier in the week "skiing"? when he (all of a sudden) decided to come back to Washington and join the growing list of senators wanting to filibuster the Alito proceedings???

yes he was. Take 1, add 1, do the math, and guess who endorsed these loony UN ideas?

The Davos gang, the trilaterals etc have had that goal for years. One good world depression will be their springboard.
