What are we doing in the United Nations?

Are you ready for a world currency? If the United Nations has anything to say about it, that is exactly what we are all going to have shoved down our throats. A new United Nations report released on Tuesday essentially declares war on the U.S. dollar and publicly calls on the nations of the world to abandon it as the global reserve currency. This new report entitled "The U.N. World Economic and Social Survey 2010" is one of the most blatant attempts yet that we have seen from a major international organization to move us in the direction of a world currency. For years it was denial after denial after denial that a global currency was being considered. Of course we knew all along by reading their policy papers that the eventual goal of the globalists was indeed to move us over to a global currency. Finally, in just the past year, the International Monetary Fund's special drawing rights (SDRs) were promoted by the G20 as "an international reserve asset" that could be used as a unit of payment for IMF loans. SDRs are currently made up of a basket of various currencies from around the world, but now there are much bigger plans for the SDRs. According to the new U.N. report, the U.S. dollar should be abandoned in favor of a new world currency based on these SDRs….

"A new global reserve system could be created, one that no longer relies on the United States dollar as the single major reserve currency."

So why abandon the U.S. dollar? Well, the U.N. report says that we must abandon it because it has not been "stable" enough….

"The dollar has proved not to be a stable store of value, which is a requisite for a stable reserve currency."

But of course it has not been stable!

It is the very same globalists that are pushing for this new world currency that have been behind the destruction of not only the U.S. dollar but all paper currencies around the world.

In fact, there are many who are speculating that the recession that the world economy is now being "pushed" into is actually a contrived crisis which is designed to pave the way for the grand solution that the globalists have wanted all along.

So exactly what is that grand solution?

During a speech back in May, IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn called for the introduction of a global currency backed by a global central bank which would act as the "lender of last resort" in the event of a severe economic crisis.

That is what the globalists have always wanted – a global currency and a global central bank that we all pay taxes to.

Right now the world is not likely to go for it, but if the upcoming recession (or depression) is deep enough, then the would might just be willing to accept a global currency and a global central bank.

You see, it is the exact same problem/reaction/solution paradigm that the globalists have used time after time after time to get their way.

Even now, globalist organizations are lining up their proposals for global taxes that they wish to impose on all of us as we recently described on one of our sister sites….

*The World Health Organization recently announced that it is ready to impose global taxes on all of us. The World Health Organization says that it needs a lot more money and that it has some creative ideas for how to get it. Two of their main ideas for "raising revenue" are a global tax on Internet use and a global tax on paying bills online. These taxes would go directly to the World Health Organization.

*The IMF is actually calling for two new global taxes. One would be an international deposit insurance tax, and the other would be a tax on the profits of financial institutions worldwide. The IMF says that the funds would be used by them to prevent another major financial crisis.

So are you ready for a world currency and a world central bank that you will pay your world taxes to?

Malaysian economist Jomo Kwame Sundaram, the U.N. assistant secretary general for economic development, admitted during a news conference that "there's going to be resistance" to the idea of a world currency.

You think?

Oh, did they expect that we were just going to hand over our national sovereignty to them without any resistance whatsoever?

It is bad enough to have the Federal Reserve (a privately-owned central bank controlled by international bankers) controlling our currency right now.

If we ever allow the globalists to institute a global currency, a global central bank and global taxes then you can kiss our freedom and our national sovereignty goodbye.

But do you see any coverage of this on any of the big news channels?

Of course not.

The vast majority of the American people have no idea this is going on.

They are too busy catching up on the latest celebrity gossip and lining up to watch the new "Twilight" movie.

Our founding fathers are not here to stand up for our liberty and freedom, so it is up to you and I.

We must get the word out about the plan for a global currency and a global central bank before it is too late.

So, what would you do when the UN starts dictating our freedoms?

On Wednesday the Obama administration took its first major step in a plan to ban all firearms in the United States. The Obama administration intends to force gun control and a complete ban on all weapons for US citizens through the signing of international treaties with foreign nations. By signing international treaties on gun control, the Obama administration can use the US State Department to bypass the normal legislative process in Congress. Once the US Government signs these international treaties, all US citizens will be subject to those gun laws created by foreign governments. These are laws that have been developed and promoted by organizations such as the United Nations and individuals such as George Soros and Michael Bloomberg. The laws are designed and intended to lead to the complete ban and confiscation of all firearms.

The Obama administration is attempting to use tactics and methods of gun control that will inflict major damage to our 2nd Amendment before US citizens even understand what has happened. Obama can appear before the public and tell them that he does not intend to pursue any legislation (in the United States) that will lead to new gun control laws, while cloaked in secrecy, his Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton is committing the US to international treaties and foreign gun control laws. Does that mean Obama is telling the truth? What it means is that there will be no publicized gun control debates in the media or votes in Congress. We will wake up one morning and find that the United States has signed a treaty that prohibits firearm and ammunition manufacturers from selling to the public. We will wake up another morning and find that the US has signed a treaty that prohibits any transfer of firearm ownership. And then, we will wake up yet another morning and find that the US has signed a treaty that requires US citizens to deliver any firearm they own to the local government collection and destruction center or face imprisonment.

This is not a joke nor a false warning. As sure as government health care will be forced on us by the Obama administration through whatever means necessary, so will gun control.

U..S. reverses stance on treaty to regulate arms trade

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States reversed policy on Wednesday and said it would back launching talks on a treaty to regulate arms sales as long as the talks operated by consensus, a stance critics said gave every nation a veto.

The decision, announced in a statement released by the U.S. State Department, overturns the position of former President George W. Bush’s administration, which had opposed such a treaty on the grounds that national controls were better.

Well your current USSA government, and the UN are ready for you to. They have a vision of a world government spreading the wealth across the world and for the world government to determine our rights and entitlements. You might find the video below interesting.

If you found the above part 1 of 5 video interesting, I encourage you to watch the other 4 on You Tube.

Virtually every cabinet position filled in the Obama administration not only subscribes to the below — but most of them belong to one of more organizations working toward that goal. Your (because he certainly isn’t mine) International Apologist President absolutely subscribes to this — and no doubt the megla-maniac sees himself as the Chairman of the World. Read the below article — because it is the goal of the world for us ‘American Average Joes’ to be the pawns of World government — equal to Obama’s half brother in a mud hut.

In the book of Jeremiah, the prophet tells of the pending invasion of Judah by the Babylonian king, Nebuchadnezzar. He records, “the snorting of horses was heard in Dan.” Can you imagine an invasion of that kind? You have been warned by reports that there is an invading army on the way. As they get closer you can feel the ground move as the multitude of well-trained soldiers and galloping horses get closer to your city. You are strangely aware that your world is going to change forever as you hear the snorting get louder.

That is how I felt fourteen years ago when I read the 1994 United Nations Development Report. I was absolutely shocked to read the Special Contribution entitled “Global Governance for the 21st Century” by the 1969 Nobel Prize for Economics, Jan Tinbergen. He wrote,

Mankind’s problems can no longer be solved by national governments. What is needed is a World Government. This can best be achieved by strengthening the United Nations system. In some cases, this would mean changing the role of UN agencies from advice-giving to implementation. But some of the most important new institutions would be financial—a World Treasury and a World Central Bank. Just as each nation has a system of income redistribution, so there should be a corresponding ‘World Financial Policy’ to be implemented by the World Bank and the World Central Bank. Some of these proposals are, no doubt, far-fetched and beyond the horizon of today’s political possibilities. But the idealist of today often turns out to be the realists of tomorrow.

In that report, it also laid out the changes to be made to the international level of government in order to complete the necessary powers: They included:

A World Central Bank which should have five functions: (1) stabilize global economic activity, (2) lender of last resort to financial institutions, (3) calm jittery financial markets, (4) regulate financial institutions and (5) create and regulate new international liquidity.

The institution named to be the successor organization was the International Monetary Fund. This new central bank would float a new issue of Special Drawing Rights-SDRs and it would have “Global Macroeconomic Management” worldwide. It would also acquire some regular control of international banking activities.

A World Trade Organization to be the successor to the General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs.

An Economic Security Council to “review the threats to global human security and agree on required action.” It would have 11 permanent members and another 11 rotating members. They would not have any veto and it would “coordinate activities of the UN agencies and watch over the policy direction of all international and regional financial institutions.”

Other components mentioned included a World Anti-Monopoly Authority, a World Bank International Investment Trust and a World Bank Intermediate Assistance Facility.” The report also called for a World Police force, an International Court of Justice and a World Treasury.

The report stated, “It will probably take some time and probably some international financial crisis—before a full-scare World Central Bank can be created.” It appears we are there. For most people, the things that I wrote about were ridiculous. Why? Because they were not reading the same documents I was reading. At the 101 global meetings I have covered around the world, these kinds. of ideas were considered exciting and were being actively discussed, as they are now.

Also in 1994, The Bretton Woods Commission which was convened by Paul Volcker, former Federal Reserve Chairman and James D. Wolfensohn who was the Director of the World Bank met. Their report confirmed the 1994 Human Development Report and called for “greater economic convergence among countries.” With regard to a world monetary system, the Commission stated,

Any future international monetary system should focus on the major international currencies which dominate trade and global capital markets. For some time to come these will be the dollar, the yen and the Deutsch mark [or its successor European currency). The alternative to a new global system is to continue the present non-system of loose ad hoc cooperation, dominated by the G7 process (pages 4-5).

Furthermore the Bretton Woods Commission said the IMF “should be given a central role to play in coordinating macroeconomic policies and in developing and implementing monetary reforms.” They said that the IMF should be given surveillance in order to secure a more stable exchange rate system and that the Special Drawing Rights are needed—but not now, and should be considered at some other time.” Interestingly enough the Bretton Woods Commission was supported by numerous foreign and American Banks which included, J.P. Morgan, Kidder Peabody International, Inc., Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley Group, Salomon Brothers, The Ford Foundation, The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, The German Marshall Fund and S. G. Warburg Group. Some of these banks no longer exist and some even had trouble earlier in our current banking crisis.

I was seeing the plan for a future world governmental structure. I used the 1994 Human Development Report as my blueprint for the future and what I should look for.

Then in February, 2004, I interviewed U.S. Treasury Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs, Tony Fratto at the G7 Finance Ministers meeting in Boca Raton, Florida. Part of our discussion follows:

Veon: Given the drop in economic, financial, and trade barriers and as America moves into a global economy what else needs to be done to complete this global economy?

Fratto: There is still a lot more that needs to be done. There are many countries around the world with trade barriers affecting financial services, affecting capital flows, allowing for financial service firms to invest and be welcomed into their countries and we are going to see a lot more of that and it is part of the Free Trade Agreements and negotiations, regionally and at the Doha Round [WTO level]. Treasury plays a major role in negotiating the investment chapters [of the WTO Agreement] and the chapters that concern financial flow and we will see more of that.

Veon: The Bank for International Settlements set up the Financial Stability Forum-FSF—how important is that in today’s economy to manage a global system without borders?

Fratto: It is very important. We participate in the FSF regularly and it is very important to help ensure that markets across the world are operating properly and that financial services firms are coping with regulation and changing landscape and financial services. So it is very, very important.

Veon: Given the fact that the economic, trade, financial, political and information barriers between the nation-states have fallen, is there a deadline—2014 or 2020 for the completion of the global financial architecture?

Fratto: No one has put a specific date on it. From our perspective, we don’t want to be bound by deadlines, but we want to see progress—steady and every day on these issues. Things like Basel II, we are moving that forward. The liberalization of rules for capital flows—you will see more of that.

Veon: Foreigners have been willing to hold U.S. debt because it is a reserve currency, is there any discussion of a shift to the dollar sharing the reserve currency with the euro?

Fratto: I will not comment.

Veon: If 65% of central bank foreign exchange reserves are in dollars, will you be discussing how much more they will be willing to hold of dollars?
Fratto: I will let the ministers address those kinds of questions.

As you can see, the U.S. Treasury was actively working to expand a global economic infrastructure. The things that I was hearing on the international level, along with the ideas of the 1994 Human Development Report, were common knowledge to everyone except the American people. Later on in November, I interviewed Paul Volcker and specifically asked him about what he saw for the future. He told me, “What the world needs is a global currency.” I asked if he meant “the Special Drawing Right.” He refused to answer. Then in 2007, I interviewed him again and asked about the Special Drawing Right. He told me that it had not been on his lips for years. His actions and words are not the same.

As a result of the 2008 Credit Crisis which continues in 2009, Congress has been trying to understand the agenda behind the actions of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve. In an exchange between Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) and Paul Volcker on February 24, 2009, Ron Paul specifically asked him about his opening statement to the House Banking Committee in which he talked about “strong coordination among national authorities, unifying accounting standards, liquidity requirements, and ‘internationally agreed to’ arrangements.” Congressman Paul wanted to know if Volcker was referring to “a super IMF or if we were going to revive the SDRs? What kinds of discussion are going on internationally right now to devise a standard and are you a participant in these international negotiations to come up with this new system?” Paul Volcker told him, “No, No. I don’t know of any coherent or regular discussion going on officially and there are very few going on unofficially in terms of construction of the monetary system.” As they bantered back and forth with Volcker refusing to give forthright answers, Volcker said, “I can’t tell you the answers—they are not apparent. Make no mistake. This is a unique moment in economic history where the world is going on the basis of fiat currencies.” It was apparent by his answers, his laughter at Ron Paul’s forthrightness, and his body language that he had no desire to be honest in his global involvement.

In short, we have the global crisis which the 1994 Human Development Report said would probably need to happen in order to shift to a global system of government. It is also glaringly noticeable that the report was right on the money in terms of where the world needed to move to complete a global integration of countries. Without the continuous move to drop the barriers between nation-states that began with the birth of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank in 1944 and continued into the 1990s with the birth of the World Trade Organization in 1994, it would not be possible to have the global financial integration through common regulatory laws that the leaders of the G20 are calling for. Furthermore, a world central bank, the Special Drawing Rights, and an Economic Security Council would not be possible. However in a world where there are no longer any barriers between nation-states, total integration and a world government structure is possible.

The newly empowered G20 is actively pursuing greater powers and responsibilities for the IMF. The IMF already has power over all countries, including the U.S., as it does country financial assessments. Furthermore, the Special Drawing Right was adopted by the Bank for International Settlements in 2004 when they switched “for bookkeeping entries” as I was told from the Swiss franc to the SDR. In 1999, when the Financial Stability Forum while set up, was never given much public attention, now it is at the center of the G20 discussions. Lastly, in conjunction with the G20 meetings, a special commission at the United Nations headed up by Dr. Joseph Stiglitz is calling for the G20 to become a fully recognized Economic Security Council on par with the Security Council.

The bottom line is that the above comprises the moving of the ground beneath us. Everything we have experienced as a sovereign country is in the process of being changed. The enemy cannot have the advantage over you in battle if you know his agenda. Do you hear the snorting of the horses yet?

A day after his White House meeting with President Barack Obama, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called the United States a "deadbeat" donor to the world body.

From the Fox News Site: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/03/11/chief-calls-deadbeat-donor/

A day after his White House meeting with President Barack Obama, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called the United States a "deadbeat" donor to the world body while making the made the rounds on Capitol Hill.

Ban's criticism Wednesday of the U.N.'s single biggest backer irked some members of the House Foreign Relations Committee. They were generally supportive of his leadership but voiced concern about U.N. efforts in areas from Sudan to Somalia.

"He used the word 'deadbeat' when it came to characterizing the United States. I take great umbrage (over) that," Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, the panel's senior Republican, said after an hour-long, closed-door meeting. "We certainly contribute a whole lot of U.S. taxpayer dollars to that organization. We do not deserve such a phrase.

Interviewed after the session, Ban said he had wanted to draw attention to the fact that the U.S. agrees to pay 22 percent of the U.N.'s $4.86 billion operating budget, but is perennially late with its dues — and now is about $1 billion behind on its payments.

That figure is "soon to be $1.6 billion," Ban emphasized. Asked if he'd used the word 'deadbeat' during the meeting, he replied, "Yes, I did — I did," then laughed mischievously.

Ban also urged Congress to adopt climate change legislation to boost chances for his top goal this year: clinching a global climate deal. The hope is for accord at a U.N.-sponsored conference in Copenhagen in December.

"I believe for the United States it's a necessity. It will have a very politically important impact on the ongoing negotiation," he said. "We need the U.S. leadership at this time. Whole world is looking at U.S. leadership."

Ban generally got a "very respectful" reception from the House committee, said Rep. Bill Delahunt, D-Mass., who chairs a subcommittee that oversees U.S. participation in the United Nations.

"Clearly they have an interest in the United States meeting its responsibility. In terms of peacekeeping, we're about $670 million behind, and I think the argument is well-stated," Delahunt said.

He noted America backs U.N. peacekeeping operations — and said it loses credibility if it doesn't provide financial support. "And at the same time, we have to recognize that there are no American troops involved in the 17 different venues where there are peacekeeping operations," Delahunt said.

Ban was also meeting with Sen. John Kerry, D-Calif., the Senate Foreign Relations chairman, and other committee members.

During an Oval Office session Tuesday, Obama pledged to work to help bring peace to Darfur and called it "not acceptable" that Sudan's president has been kicking out humanitarian aid workers from the region of western Sudan. President Omar al-Bashir was charged in an International Criminal Court arrest warrant with war crimes and crimes against humanity for targeting civilians.

Ban told Obama his support for climate legislation is "encouraging", but said 2009 is a "make-or-break" year for the U.N. and its member countries on global warming, Darfur and other prominent conflicts.

"It's the beginning of the establishment of a close relationship between the two," said Peter Yeo, a vice president for the U.N. Foundation, launched by media mogul Ted Turner's $1 billion donation in 1997.

Yeo, a former House Democratic staffer and foreign policy adviser to both the Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton campaigns last year, said Obama's budget proposal also is a hopeful sign for the U.S.-U.N. relationship.

Obama seeks a 9.5 percent increase in international affairs spending, which Yeo said would be enough to cover not only next year's U.S. dues to the U.N., but also $1 billion in arrears.

Here’s a hint — think of the UN’s goal of a Global One Government Communist World that the UN governs. We need to get out of the UN, and get these asshole out of the US.

GENEVA, Dec 17 (Reuters) – The United Nations should stop passing resolutions, largely promoted by Islamic countries, calling for laws against “defamation of religion”, according to international experts on freedom of expression.

The four experts — from Africa, Europe, Latin America and the United Nations itself — said such laws were often used to shield religious leaders from criticism and to suppress religious minorities and non-believers.

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) – The U.N. General Assembly split over the issue of gay rights on Thursday after a European-drafted statement calling for decriminalization of homosexuality prompted an Arab-backed one opposing it.

Diplomats said a joint statement initiated by France and the Netherlands gathered 66 signatures in the 192-nation assembly after it was read out by Argentina at a plenary session. A rival statement, read out by Syria, gathered some 60.

The two statements remained open for further signatures, the diplomats said. No resolution was drafted on the issue and there was no voting, they added.

The division in the General Assembly reflected conflicting laws in the world at large. According to sponsors of the Franco-Dutch text, homosexuality is illegal in 77 countries, seven of which punish it by death.

The European Union-backed document, noting that the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was marked this month, said those rights applied equally to all people, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.

It urged states “to take all the necessary measures, in particular legislative or administrative, to ensure that sexual orientation or gender identity may under no circumstances be the basis for criminal penalties, in particular executions, arrests or detention.”

But the opposing document said the statement “delves into matters which fall essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of states” and could lead to “the social normalization, and possibly the legitimization, of many deplorable acts including pedophilia.”

“We note with concern the attempts to create ‘new rights’ or ‘new standards,’ by misinterpreting the Universal Declaration and international treaties to include such notions that were never articulated nor agreed by the general membership,” it added.

This, it said, could “seriously jeopardize the entire international human rights framework.”

Muslim countries have for years opposed international attempts to legalize homosexuality.

U.S. officials said the United States had not signed either document. They said the broad framing of the language in the statement supporting decriminalization created conflicts with U.S. law, but gave no further details.

But Dutch Foreign Minister Maxime Verhagen told reporters it was a “very special day at the U.N.”

“For the first time in history a large group of member states speaks out in the General Assembly against discrimination based on sexual orientation,” he said. “With today’s statement, this is no longer a taboo within the U.N.”

Syrian Ambassador Bashar Ja’afari told reporters sponsors of the statement had “cornered” other members by springing the declaration on them.

Spain outraged by cost of art for UN

The artist Miquel Barcelo works on the Human Rights Room at the UN headquarters in Geneva

By Elizabeth Nash in Madrid
Thursday, 13 November 2008

Spain is embroiled in a furious row over a wildly expensive artwork at the United Nations headquarters in Geneva for which the Spanish taxpayer has contributed millions of euros, including a sizeable tranche taken from the overseas aid budget.

The new Room of Human Rights and the Alliance of Civilisations, a spectacular cave dripping with multicoloured stalactites and described as the Sistine Chapel of the 21st century, was created by the artist Miquel Barcelo and is to be inaugurated on Tuesday by Spain’s King and Queen.

But the early plaudits for this vast space swiftly became cries of outrage as news emerged that the Spanish government was contributing €8m (£5.3m) from the public purse, including €500,000 lifted from the aid budget for developing countries.

The Foreign Minister, Miguel Angel Moratinos, declined to specify the final cost. “Only fools confuse value and price. This project is a new way of doing diplomacy and foreign policy,” he said, adding that the taxpayer would contribute 40 per cent and a dozen Spanish companies raising the remainder.

About €11m has reportedly already been raised, which would mean Spain’s public purse is lighter by €4.4m. But at least one corporate sponsor has pulled out. And Spain missed the deadline for completion so it has had to pay for alternative accommodation for meetings and conferences.

The deputy Prime Minister, Maria Teresa Fernandez de la Vega, fearful of the political fallout, has demanded full financial disclosure.
