Obama and United Nations

Organizing the World Citizens ... and Taxes?

President-elect Barack Obama ~ introduced his national security team, made up of centrist Washington insiders, and promised an overhaul of foreign policy to give added emphasis to diplomacy and bring a "new dawn of American leadership."

In one sign of the importance the new president will place on international institutions, Obama said the job of ambassador to the United Nations would again have Cabinet rank, as it did under President Clinton.

Obama’s Global Tax Proposal
February 12, 2008

A nice-sounding bill called the "Global Poverty Act," sponsored by ~ Barack Obama, is up for a Senate vote ~ and could result in the imposition of a global tax on the United States.

Global Taxes Are Back, Watch Your Wallet

Global tax proposals are not new. Various plans have been flitting around in academic circles and liberal and socialist think-tanks for decades. And while the United States and other developed nations have staved off such proposals in the past, third world nations have increasingly dominated the U.N. General Assembly by sheer numbers since 1970. As a result, they have begun to see promise in their quest to take and keep for themselves the wealth of citizens from nations like the United States - specifically using the term "redistribution."

Recent U.N. actions have also provided a new excuse and set the stage for the third world to not only renew its pursuit of global taxes but also hold out hope for eventual success.

Needless to say, the failing nations, led by banana republic regimes, would like nothing better. A global tax would be the ultimate handout - and security assurance - for crippled governments, failed states, and totalitarian regimes.

As the United Nations and its chorus of developing countries begin to make their case ~, Americans should watch their wallets. The global taxation zealots are coming. SOURCE ...

It is the Organization set up to organize the world.

SURRENDER OF POLICY CONTROL
President Clinton ordered U.S. military personnel, such as Specialist Michael New, to take off their uniforms, remove the American flag, and don the Blue Helmets of the UN peacekeeping missions.

The program laid out in the UN Charter but not yet fully implemented must come into full flower with the addition of certain reforms. There has been much talk in the United States about UN reforms. But inside the UN the word "reform" has a different meaning.

Every year the Secretary-General of the United Nations invites Heads of States and Governments to participate in the treaty signature/ratification ceremony organized by the Treaty Section with a view to encourage wider participation in the multilateral treaties deposited with him (over 500 treaties) and their speedier entry into force.
