Decrying the "virtual news blackout" on next week's UN conference to impose global taxes, Tom DeWeese, president of the American Policy Center, a think tank, has written to President Bush, urging him to resist all such plans. A United Nations conference this month will ask world leaders, including President Bush, to consider global taxes to finance increased foreign aid spending. The March 18-22 International Conference on Financing for Development in Monterrey, Mexico, is organized by the U.N. with the participation of the World Bank, International Monetary Fund and the World Trade Organization. "There has been a virtual news blackout concerning the boldest, most dangerous scheme to deprive the United States and all other nations of their sovereign rights, to take over the entire world's financial systems, to tax all energy sources, air transportation, and other aspects of the lives of the world's population," says DeWeese. "This would be the foundation of a global government run by the United Nations", warns DeWeese. "With trillions of dollars in taxes, the UN will be free to ignore all nations, including the United States of America. The United States fought a Revolution to resist taxation without representation and the UNs plans will deal a death blow to our nation." In a letter to President Bush, DeWeese says, "As the International Conference on Financing for Development meets in Monterrey, Mexico, (March 18-21) you will come under great pressure to support United Nations' schemes for global taxation. You are urged to vigorously resist them and condemn any plans for global taxation." "You must soundly reject these proposals and instead promote successful American ideals that will allow other nations to build their own economic success," said DeWeese in his letter to the President. "Rather than following American principles of private enterprise, private property rights and limited government to successfully achieve these goals, the UN proposals seek only to loot America's wealth in a Robin Hood-style theft; robbing from the rich to give to the poor." DeWeese quoted UN Secretary General Kofi Annan's clearly announced intentions with regard to global taxation. In a report entitled Existing Proposals for Innovative Sources of Finance, "Annan outlined plans for global taxes on, among other things, international currency transactions, air line transportation, the internet, energy and natural resources." "The United Nations has no claim to these sources of revenue; rather they are the products of private individuals, private companies or sovereign nations. Only sovereign governments have the power to tax," said DeWeese. "The United Nations seeks to become a global government." "Mr. President, you must not allow the UN to collect a single dollar of global taxes. For once begun, there will be no way to ever stop it. The United States is the most powerful force on earth. If our nation opposes these global tax schemes, then they will not become reality."
When they don't want you to know something, they really don't want you to know it!
Anyone remember the UN Conference something about the "rights of children." It was supposed to happen late September but last I heard it was postponed because of 911.
Did they have it yet or did we get lucky and it all went away? If it happened anyone point me to finding out what happened (actual name of the conference would help me do a search.)
Boneheaded Bush Bashers wrong again?? I am shocked, SHOCKED!!!
The point man for this whole effort is Kofi Annan, a clinton clone and a virtual clinton appointee!!!! (Remember how clinton and company pushed out Boutros Boutros-Ghalli to get his errand boy, Annan, in!) It is ironic--but typical NWO--that a US appointee is now heading up a scheme to destroy what is left of American sovereignty.
Among other things, the "tax" will be used to finance a world police force of "peacekeepers". You can be sure that most of this force will consist of blue-helmeted muslim thugs!!! For a prevew of "coming attractions", look at Kosovo, where blue-helmeted "Emirati", Jordanian, and Moroccan gendarmes have been pushing Kosovo Serbs around, and even aiding their KLA co-religionists in destoying Christian churches!!! Imagine such "police" in Yourtown, USA!!!
I am more pro-UN than most posters on FR. I mainly see the UN as a means of war prevention--talking rather than fighting (i.e., the original purpose of the UN when it was founded by mainly Western countries). However, I am EXTREMELY against the "new UN", the UN's kangaroo "court" in the Hague and other NWO activities already in place, and aganist Kofi Annan continuing to serve as Secretary-General. If this is what is happening, I join the Freeper chorus calling for the US out of the UN and the UN out of New York!!!!
