Last Friday, while most Americans were distracted debating the pros and cons of the Confederate Flag, or lamenting the latest SCOTUS rulings, Democrats and one world supporters gathered in San Francisco, California to celebrate the 70th Anniversary of the United Nations.
The event, held in San Francisco City Hall, was a Progressive star-studded event featuring the likes of Governor Jerry Brown, Mayor Ed Lee, and Democratic Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi. But the most compelling statement was made the the keynote speaker, the Secretary-General of the United Nations Ban Ki-Moon. Secretary Moon admitted that in September World Leaders, including President Obama,are set to sign a new international development agreement to eradicate poverty:
“ “Ladies and Gentlemen I’ll tell you why we have big works ahead. In September World Leaders, including President Obama, will come to the United Nations Special Summit Session and will adopt an inspiring new development agenda to end global poverty.”

What could these new development goals be, you ask? And could they possibly involve wealth redistribution?
The “goals” are none other than Sustainable Development goals, which are an extension of the Millennium Goals, and they will be adopted at the Sustainable Development Summit in September in New York City. Oh and yes, they do involve wealth redistribution.
According to a United Nations report, Sustainable Development is all about wealth redistribution:
““The growing concentration of wealth and income, which may represent an inherent feature of capitalism (Piketty 2013), stands in sharp contrast with the increasingly cooperative nature of wealth creation in ever more interdependent and globalized, but segmented and dispersed production processes (Moulier-Boutang 2012). It further prevents eradicating poverty without breaching planetary boundaries (Rockström et al. 2009, Gerst et al. 2013). An approach for simultaneously addressing issues of resource allocation, wealth and income distribution as well as the quantity of natural resources nurturing economic activity is therefore required (Costanza et al. 2012, Farley et al. 2013). Redistributive policies are an essential component of strategies for reducing inequality and promoting sustainable development in its three dimensions: economic, social and environmental.”
So in a few months when the American people are once again distracted by the latest news of the day, President Obama will be in New York signing an international agreement to redistribute the wealth of Americans in an effort to eliminate poverty. Because just as every Progressive Communist knows, poverty disappears when everyone is equally poor.
Yea! War on Poverty is over!
Obama wins!
LOL
Mission Accomplished
What mad fools! They are setting the stage for a world government that will oppress man like no other government before. Think of all the modern technologies that will be used to monitor and control man like never before! It will be like 1984 on steroids.
So... is this going to be as effective as the Kellogg-Briand pact?
And those that fight will be eradicated and their possessions spread amongst he poor
Exempting all politicos and their cronies from the solution, but that goes without saying.
More wonderful news from the Ban Kin Moon squad.
WITH OUR MONEY!
Don’t know where I heard it, probably Mark Steyn, “0bama has managed to close the gap between the poor and the truly destitute.”
I’ll bet he intends to do it with OUR money. Communists suck.
Leftist Puppet Show -
Agenda 21
Wow! Now I’ll never have to pay my mortgage again. And gasoline will be free. Everybody will drive a Mercedes. Who wants to be seen in a Chevy!
We’ll all be as rich as the Greeks!
Ending global poverty.. Gee, I wonder who the UN is expecting to foot that bill.............
The poor can consume and destroy far, far more than all the wealth of the world. It may be unpopular to say, but most poor people are poor because of the poor choices they make. I could give a poor person an expensive car, build them a palace, etc., and those things would most likely be ruined in short order. People simply don’t care about things they don’t earn.
This does not mean there aren’t exceptions. There are people who are poor due to illnesses or accidents beyond their control. Private charity should try to help those folks. In some cases, the help will be necessary for a lifetime. I’m not necessarily opposed to government programs to take care of the truly disabled, but government is a very poor replacement for private charity.
We know these things to be true. We all see it everyday in our private lives, but for some strange reason, too many people somehow think government can fix human nature and the real world problems that arise from it.
Democrats have perpetuated poverty in the US for the primary purpose of winning elections. For democrats to participate in a world wide effort means they have to change 180 degrees on their policies of keeping the poor poor in the US and other places. It will also mean the Democrats will have to stop funding terrorists who are creating poverty all over the Middle East. I just don’t see how Obama and the Democrats can do anything here as they have caused the greatest refugee crisis of the last 40 years with their arming of terrorists in Libya, Syria and Yemen.
well except for in our own country..
Obama will drain the coffers and put us further in debt for generations in order to buy a hamburger (sorry, a veggie burger) and fries for everyone else today..
tomorrow they can go back to starving...
