U.S. Stands Firm Against World TaxSome Members of Congress Take Notice; Offer Praise, Support By James P. Tucker Jr. United Nations bureaucrats, meeting in New York, are trying to shove through Bilderberg’s demand for a direct tax on world citizens but, so far, the United States is firmly opposed. UN bureaucrats used euphemisms to hide their tax plan in the 40-page “Draft Outcome Document of the High-Level Plenary Meeting of the General Assembly of September 2005.” The document, if finally agreed upon, is to be taken up by 170 heads of state at the UN. It calls for “innovative and additional sources of financing for development on a public, private, domestic or external basis” and “solidarity contributions on plane tickets to finance development projects” and “other solidarity contributions that would be nationally applied and internationally coordinated.” For years, Bilderberg has pressed for a direct UN tax on the world, and for at least three years such proposals have been pending before the world body. Bilderberg’s favorite form of UN taxes has been a levy of 10 cents a gallon on oil. This would, initially, be so small the consumer would not notice the fraction of a penny on gasoline, even with today’s sky-high prices. But the principle would be established and, like the U.S. income tax, it would be tuned up in the years ahead.The oil tax would be imposed under the language of “other solidarity contributions.”There is a growing awareness of this threat to U.S. sovereignty. Majority Whip Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) secured unanimous agreement in the House to oppose any UN taxes. The Senate should enact the same prohibition. At the UN, U.S. Ambassador John Bolton has taken this document apart, demanding 40 changes, including purging language supporting taxing authority for the UN. “The U.S. does not accept . . . global taxes,” Bolton wrote.(Issue #40, October 3, 2005) Not Copyrighted.

I'm sorry but can you change the avatar pic?

Do you get your fair and balanced news from americanpreepress.net? At least the National Enquirer knows it's a joke. Apparently AFP doesn't. Example:In reply to:“It’s similar to what we had during the Cold War,” said Vallely. “We tell the radical Islamists, ‘If you launch one nuclear device against us anywhere, we will then irradiate Mecca and Medina because you know all Muslims have to go there at least once in their lifetime.’Here's something else they publish that you surely must enjoy, WesleyWes:In reply to:New Bill in Congress Targets Teachers Who Dare to Question US Support for IsraelIs this your petition to Congress?In reply to:In support of Anti-CatholicismTo support anti-catholic beliefs and convictions. To not supress persons who are anti-catholic. To support the understanding of what the Roman-Catholic church is. How it functions. What Catholics believe. And so forth.Is this part of your belief system?In reply to: no illicit intercourse - Prohibits adultery, incest, homosexual intercourse and bestiality, according to Torah definitions.Didn't you post this to a Cathlolic Web site?In reply to:--Previous Message--: Hello Bumbling Idiots,:: I was curious to know if your church totally: dismisses the seventh day as any kind of: sabbath at all? Shouldnt people rediscover: the meaning of Saturday? I know that Sunday: is special as well do to it being the day of: resurection of Christ. However i am curious.:: Anti-Catholic regards in Christ,: S. Wesley McgranorIf you were really curious, S. Wesley, you would have phrased your post in a less gratuitously offensive manner, with a view to engaging in discussion rather than provoking vituperation.Try reposting your query, under another name, and more thoughtfully phrased, with a view to omitting language which is likely to obscure your true purpose, and you might get somewhere.Are you really a drifter?In reply to:Bum money. Ask, can ya spare some change?Or a variation, got any change ya can spear? Then theres, ya cant spare a buck or two can ya? Or a variation, can ya spare a buck or two?Then theres allways flyin a sign. I aint hip ta that.Dude, you have left a long an deep trail of weirdness on the Internet.

I dont see the point in just talking about polotics. Talking about it will not change anything unless your a polotision. Polotics are boring.

Then don't. the reason this is here is to keep politics and religion out of other non related forums.

the reason this is here is to keep politics and religion out of other non related forums. It's a noble effort, but people will just bring up politics (occasionally) and religion (a lot) in the course of their posting. I doubt that many people will think, "Wait a minute! There a thread for that!"But it will be nice if I'm wrong.There are other religious and political threads in the Community Forum.

True. I really doubt making a topic for it will keep it off the boards. Its gunna get brought up either way.

Your avatar pic is really disturbing.

Well it's just making up for all that fuss i caused.

Um politics ok um.......George Bush

What the hell is this guy's problem? He spends 40% of his term on vacation then starts a war looking for "nuclear weapons" then destroys the country looking for its "leader" and is spending 200 billion dollars to rebuild the country, what the hell kind of crap is that? (I don't blame the French)

Then the jackass gets elected again. And Katrina hits and the idiot doesn't even make an effort to do anything for 7 days while there are people dying in the street. When the tsunami hit in Thailand he responded as soon as it happened.
He should be impeached (him and his plastic looking wife.)

Oh and 9/11....
This stupid, ugly looking, Texan, Jackass sat there for 20 minutes listening to little kids read while the country was under attack then he went on vacation!

In conclusion I HATE BUSH :angry:

Well I can tell you have got all of that from media propoganda. The news is complete bull shit, I dont believe anything they say. Back when they had the miner strikes the media would show up and pay the miners to fight the police so they coukd get some pictures. They were having a perfectly pieceful strike until the media show up and egg it on to make a good story. The news is bull shit.

Bro, the info is credible. Not only that but the U.N. wants to control the Net. It was bad enough when our government regulated, partly because of 'apathy'. United Nations Last Updated: Oct 20th, 2005 - 14:31:22 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------A World Wide Web of Oppressionby Steven J. DuBordAugust 8, 2005Any plan for an Internet effectively controlled by the United Nations will serve only to blanket the globe in a world wide web of oppression. A United Nations-appointed panel has done it again. Or not done it again, depending on your perspective. What did they do? They convened purportedly on behalf of the best interests of every man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth — this time regarding the fate of the Internet — though they were not elected to this task by any of the billions they supposedly represent. What didn't they do? Agree, thank goodness.There are few things worse than unelected, unaccountable "representatives" actually agreeing on what they think is best for the world and leaving the world no say in the matter. Come to think of it, these people do represent someone; they were nominated by the UN secretary-general. The fact that he is knee-deep in the UN's oil-for-food scandal — one of the biggest humanitarian aid swindles in history — just might shake our confidence in his hand-picked team.Reuters reported on July 14 that this panel, the Working Group on Internet Governance, was unable to reach an agreement on who should manage the Internet and how the job should be done. They did, though, come up with four models for overseeing the Internet that ranged from maintaining the status quo of U.S. management with private sector involvement to putting the assignment of all Internet domains under the auspices of the UN. Reuters stated: "At issue for the world body is who runs the Internet and how it can better serve the world."To "better serve the world" … hmm, shades of the old Twilight Zone episode in which aliens visited Earth and brought with them a book reassuringly titled To Serve Man. It turned out that the aliens were taking humans back to their home planet on a one-way trip because … (spoiler alert) To Serve Man was a cookbook. As this publication has previously noted ("Make Way for the UNternet?" on January 26, 2004, and "UN to Make Internet a Global 'Common Heritage'?" on March 21, 2005), the United Nations has long desired to "serve" the world by running the Internet.Yet the UN's real stake in the issue is not how the Internet can better serve the world, but how it can better serve world government. For an Internet effectively controlled by the UN is an Internet effectively controlled by government. That the UN-appointed panel was called the Working Group on Internet Governance gives this away. To see what an Internet effectively controlled by government looks like, one need look no further than to a permanent member in good standing of the UN Security Council, Communist China.Through both technology and regulation, Communist China has severely limited access to the Internet from within its borders, creating what has been called the Great Fire Wall of China. Yet the building of this Great Fire Wall has not disqualified China from membership in the highest ranks of the United Nations. How will it serve the world to turn over the Internet to a body that tolerates such tyranny?Communist China's totalitarian Internet policies are the most repressive in the world. The Open Net Initiative, a joint effort by the University of Toronto, Harvard University, and the University of Cambridge, recognized this in their 2004-2005 study on Internet filtering in China. Beijing "operates the most extensive, technologically sophisticated, and broad-reaching system of Internet filtering in the world." Anyone who opens an Internet account in China must register it with the police. Chinese Internet Service Providers are required to track their customers' usage and websites visited. Cyber cafés offering public Internet access "must keep detailed logs linking users to the pages they visited." The Open Net Initiative study points out that "China's intricate technical filtering regime is buttressed by an equally complex series of laws and regulations that control the access to and publication of material online."U.S. firms desiring to do business in Communist China must bow to these repressive regulations and to Beijing's lust for absolute control over its subjects. French news agency AFP reported on June 13 that Microsoft, Yahoo!, and Google have all agreed to cooperate in censoring the Internet from their China-based sites by filtering out content that the Chinese government finds objectionable. The list of forbidden words includes "democracy," "freedom," "human rights," and "Taiwan independence." AFP also noted that any China-based websites not formally registered with the government by the end of June 2005 would be shut down by the government's Internet police.Article 29 of the UN's Universal Declaration on Human Rights states that "in the exercise of their rights and freedoms, everyone shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law.... These rights and freedoms may in no case be exercised contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations." Since the UN views rights as being given by government, not granted by God, there is apparently no incompatibility between the Communist Chinese policies — which are, after all, "determined by law" — and the "principles of the United Nations."Any plan for an Internet effectively controlled by the United Nations will serve only to blanket the globe in a world wide web of oppression. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- © Copyright 2005 American Opinion Publishing Incorporated

I'm not trying to be a jerk.. but your Avatar isn't exactly appropriate for this site. We do have young people that read on these threads.

In reply to:There are other religious and political threads in the Community Forum. Hence mine called humor me, which hasn't fallen off yet... so your actually the one making a repeat unneeded thread if you think about it And "Wow, Our president is really uneducated" Whats wrong with discussing politics in those, especially since they were already made?mad cause my thread is being pushed aside Pf-ft.

I cant be arsed to read all that. I got kinda the general jist of it by skimming over it. Its not somthing that I couldnt imagine the government doing. The internet is full of far too much free speech for them. Also I'm sure the internet looses them money because I live in the UK and I order my stuff from the USA cus it works out cheaper and they dont sell most of the stuff I want in the UK. Also they loose money from illegal music downloads and movie downloads because there is no tax. I fucking love the internet the Government can go fuck themselves. Its their own falt because they were the ones who invented it in the first place ha!

Unlike Eddie, I feel like being a jerk. Change your avatar num-nuts. You've been warned in every forum you've posted. Do we really have to wait for a mod. to tell you to change it....jesus! dum little son of....goes off muttering curse words under breath To everyone, sorry if that sounded harsh...just having a really bad day.

You go boy! *Z-snap* :grin:
