Obama's costly, dangerous and altogether bad bill (S. 2433), which could come up in the Senate any day, is called the Global Poverty Act. It would commit U.S. taxpayers to spend 0.7 percent of our Gross Domestic Product on foreign handouts, which is at least $30 billion over and above the exorbitant and wasted sums we already give away overseas.
The scariest phrase in the bill is "Millennium Development Goal." That refers to the declaration adopted by the United Nations Millennium Assembly and Summit in 2000 (blessed by President Bill Clinton) which called for the "eradication of poverty" by "redistribution (of) wealth and land," cancellation of "the debts of developing countries," and "a fair distribution of the earth's resources" (from the United States to the rest of the world, of course).
(T)he only way to force the United States to commit that much money is by a global tax, such as a tax on fossil fuels. Empowering the United Nations to impose a direct international tax on Americans has been a U.N. goal ever since the 1995 Copenhagen Summit embraced the so-called Tobin Tax.
By adopting the Millennium Goals in 2000, the U.N. escalated its demands to impose international taxes. Specifically, the Millennium called for a "currency transfer tax," a "tax on the rental value of land and natural resources," a "royalty on worldwide fossil energy projection - oil, natural gas, coal," "fees for the commercial use of the oceans, fees for airplane use of the skies, fees for use of the electromagnetic spectrum, fees on foreign exchange transactions, and a tax on the carbon content of fuels."
It doesn't bother U.N. sycophants that most U.S. handouts go into the hands of corrupt dictators who hate us and vote against us in the U.N., and that only 30 percent of American foreign aid ever reaches the poor. U.N. bureaucrats accuse the United States of being "stingy" in its handouts to underdeveloped countries.
There is much more to the Millennium Goals than merely extorting more money from U.S. taxpayers. The goals set forth a comprehensive plan to put the United States under U.N. global governance.
These goals include a "standing peace force" (i.e., a U.N. standing army), a "U.N. Arms register" of all small arms and light weapons, "peace education" covering "all levels from preschool through university," and "political control of the global economy." The goals call for implementing all U.N. treaties that the United States has never ratified, all of which set up U.N. monitoring committees to compromise U.S. sovereignty.
To achieve this level of control over U.S. domestic law, the plan calls for "strengthening the United Nations for the 21st century" by "eliminating" the veto and permanent membership in the Security Council. The goal is to reduce U.S. influence to one out of 192 nations, so we would have merely the same vote as Cuba.

Juan In a Million (johnfw) comments:
This is just a small example of the types of nonsense we will endure when (not if) Obama is President. He promises the world to Americans and gives America to the world.
Mike Huckabee had a slim but likely chance of defeating Obama in the general election. McCain has no chance and the Republican candidates that have withdrawn would have even less chance than McCain.
This absurd legislation would not even be considered under Huckabee because they'd know it would be vetoed.
Thanks to all who did not do their homework and were misguided in supporting Giuliani, Romney, and Thompson instead of choosing Huckabee and giving him the support needed to win the nomination and defeat Obama. Coulter, Limbaugh, Hewitt and all the others can't complain about Obama because they created the scenario to make his presidency inevitable.
Huckabee is a CFR stooge. Do your homework buddy. He was giving speeches at their meetings and getting his foreign policy advice from the director of CFR.
I know we are desperate to have a godly man as pres but Huckabee is an imposter.
You are DREAMING if you think he would vetoe anything like this. He is a new world order guy just like Jorge.
I think America is finished. |
and I don't know you. You don't know me either so how do you know if I've "done my homework"?
On the other hand it's obvious that you have not done any research at all as you simply regurgitate misinformation that was abundantly and satisfactorily debunked weeks ago.
As to my homework, since I'm retired I have the luxury of time to spend engaged in the issues on the web (8-10 hours a day) and apparently sufficient mental accuity to understand and analyze what I read and hear since I earned my doctorate 35 years ago when the aforementioned was required, unlike today when they put them in cereal boxes like the one Dr. Phil retrieved from a Cheerios box. Side note: Do not trust those who use titles in front of their first name. |
