Its sad to see the tripe conspiracy theories that people in this country, especially many of the right wing posters on here believe in .

There are serious mental health issues affflicting many people and I believe there is urgent need for some people to be on powerful meds.

OK, so let's quote another source... then maybe you will believe it.

The money to fund these services may come from a new world tax.

"We will need a modest but long-term way to finance this transformation," stated Jens Wandel, Deputy Director of the United Nations Development Program. "One idea which we could consider is a minimal financial transaction tax (of .005 percent). This will create $40 billion in revenue."

"It is absolutely essential to establish controls on capital movements and financial speculation," said Ambassador Jorge Valero, the current Chairman of the Commission on Social Development. He called for "progressive policies of taxation" that would require "those who earn more to pay more taxes."

Valero's speech to the forum focused on capitalism as the source of the world financial problems.

Of course the fact that he sells a vast array of books, silver, freeze dried meals, radiation detectors and more is entirely coincidental to his repeated "nuclear scares", FEMA camps, economic collapse and so forth.

Just seems to me that some folks around here need to take a closer look at Mr. Jones motivations and track record.

P.S. Last summer he was strongly insinuating there was an ongoing nuclear meltdown in Iowa. Then there was the DC earthquake caused by underground nuke......must have had left over radiation detectors to sell.
Alex Jones is Glenn Beck without all the crying and little snot bubbles.

He is? Is jones THAT good? Does he also bring proof of everything he claims by showing video OF the culprits?

Does he bring old radio clips of them revealing themselves before they knew they'd become big shots in our government, too?!

Does he have monitors that he puts screen shots up of pages of their books and papers that they have authored or co-authored, too?! Just like Glenn does?!

I gotta start watching his youtubes, etc....and give him the respect he sounds like he deserves cuz NO ONE in this nation of ours is better at it, than Beck. No one is a better reporter or has a better paid team of researchers than Glenn does, and with personal integrity and patriotism, too.


Oops, keeping on subject here...get OUT of the UN? How, now? Obama is for signing four more insane UN treaties very soon. Sounds like he has a love affair with the UN, so how can we get out? Can congress get us out?

Roadking, I hereby impose a 10% tax on all your income and everyone else in the USA. Please remit accordingly since well....you believe anything.

Really didn't know I needed any more authority than just my say-so but some folks will believe anything I guess.

This is NOT new. There is a global tax on airline tickets in 25+ countries already.
Yes it was done and it's not called a tax but "innovative development financing".
It's a fee on airline tickets and was solidified in 2006. The US does not participate.
It's to fight aids and get cheaper drugs to third world countries.
