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

It's easier than you think and can be done in ways that we will not notice such as international banking fees and carbon taxes on airlines.

Here's an example of a tax that got added recently without the public knowing about it. This hidden tax will add thousands of dollars to the cost of a home mortgage;

Some are convinced that there is no global agenda and our Constitution will protect us. Nothing will change their minds. If the word isn't "tax" then it's not a tax, understand ?

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.

And some idiots are in denial. They don't understand international finance and the power to add costs worldwide. The cost of goods and services in the US is quite often impacted by international politics, taxes and fees. It's just not visible.

Now that was an excellent post.

I still find the initial article HIGHLY speculative, I will have to reserve judgment until I get something more solid. This is probably one of the reasons I despise people like Rense, Jones etc. is that they throw so much crap up that even if they do come up with something reasonable I cannot possibly give them the benefit of the doubt or waste much time on thier imagination. That's why I prefer more legit sources like the one you just provided.

And a lot of people didn't realize how important the Copenhagen meetings were and what could have happened if China didn't round up the other Asian nations and back out.

That's why I found material on the UN site. The wording in the UN documents are very subtle. No mention whatsoever of "tax" or "mandate".
It's "innovative development funds" and "voluntary" but it's not the industry that gets to choose, it's the government that gets to choose for them.

UNITAID is a good place to go do reading as it's already in place since 2006. That is part of this Innovative Development coming from the UN.
While the US does not participate, the Gates Foundation does.

All you have to do is look at the mess the europeans made out of their global warming plans of utopia. Hell Spain threw their whole thing out the window. I just read an article today that Germany has higher air pollution today after they set up all these "green zones" that certain cars couldn't enter because they let off too many emissions. Wind fail, solar fail, the whole green economy is a fail and was from the start. Thank the Lord like you or somebody else said that Gore didn't get his carbon exchange going or we'd be doomed about now unless your sitting on a couple thousand acres of rain forest property.

Better yet, look at Japan. They are buying carbon credits all over the world because they can not meet their mandate. They have been the biggest carbon credit buyer since 2006 because they cannot meet their cap.
