Tyranny by treaty

Bad policy or grand theft?

Project #1901 was not built in response to free market principles. It was built in response to a nonsensical global political policy. The UN climate change treaty created this top-down “mitigation” policy. It’s bad policy, bad global “governance”. And, if the UN gets its dream of taxes on international travel and trade, it will officially be a global government, without any accountability whatsoever - a corrupt politician’s dream world.

In President Obama’s speech to the climate change meeting in Copenhagen, he pushed for: “Mitigation. Transparency. And financing.”

“Mitigation”: tax dollars will be transferred to projects no one wants with UN technocrats charging fees certifying companies providing nonsensical mitigation for trumped up issues hyped by propaganda campaigns.

“Transparency”: online databases will bury agency fees and outrageous paperwork costs - $38,000 a page! - for tons of UN treaty-mandated reports that no one will ever read.

“And financing”: the UN and World Bank will transfer your taxes to opportunists around the globe.

All this socialism is simply not sustainable. All this “green” for all these “green” jobs comes at the expense of blue and purple and orange jobs. Our government institutions are building an elaborate Potemkin village with money taxed out of the pockets of waitresses and truck drivers, farmers, fishermen and office workers.

“Mitigation. Transparency. And financing.”

Fraud.

As the line from The Godfather goes, “A lawyer with his briefcase can steal more than a hundred men with guns”. It’s obvious that, if you throw in a few PhD’s and a treaty or two, it’s possible to raid the treasuries of the developed world without ever firing a shot.

So, about that 2009 UN climate change meeting in Copenhagen, let’s ask that question again: “Did they really all have to go?”

In Bangladesh, China and India, at the World Bank and the UN, the answer is, “Yes! Yes! Yes!”
