More United Nations Tyranny

Read the full article here: Beware a 'Digital Munich'
by Mr. Norm Coleman Republican senator from Minnesota

It sounds like a Tom Clancy plot. An anonymous group of international technocrats holds secretive meetings in Geneva. Their cover story: devising a blueprint to help the developing world more fully participate in the digital revolution. {affordable computers in all school children's hands} Their real mission: strategizing to take over management of the Internet from the U.S. and enable the United Nations to dominate and politicize the World Wide Web. Does it sound too bizarre to be true? Regrettably, much of what emanates these days from the U.N. does.


The Internet faces a grave threat. We must defend it. We need to preserve this unprecedented communications and informational medium, which fosters freedom and enterprise. We can not allow the U.N. to control the Internet.


In addition to resentment of U.S. technological leadership, proponents of politicization are driven by fear -- of access to full and accurate information, and of the opportunity for legitimate political discourse and organization, provided by the Internet. Nations like China, which are behind the U.N. plan to take control, censor their citizens' Web sites, and monitor emails and chat rooms to stifle legitimate political dissent. U.N. control would shield this kind of activity from scrutiny and criticism.

by Refet Kaplany

The controversy centers in part around a proposal to create something called the International Tax Organization. The organization would help nations collect and disseminate information on tax policies and, opponents insist, assess its own taxes, help governments tax emigrant citizens working in other countries and even compel member states to share tax data.

High-tax countries like France have long lamented their loss of human and financial resources to lower-taxed nations like the United States. An international tax agency would thus work to reduce such "tax competition" between nations.

That doesn't sound right to low-tax advocates. They fear decreased "tax competition" would only force foreign nationals working in the United States to pay higher taxes to their native governments or, even more disturbing, compel the United States to raise its own tax rates.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some of us do NOT recognize any authority from the United Nations. In fact, many of us believe it's time to "retire" the United Nations OFF of American soil.

Buh bye.

As for paying a WORLD TAX~~~~~~~~~~MAKE ME.

My grandfather REFUSED to pay Social Security. He considered it communism. As for a world tax, I "ain't gonna" pay it EVER.

Throw me in jail...at least then I'll get 3 "squares" a day~~more than I get now; and will have air conditioning and heat in abundance~~something I've had to scrimp on the past year; free cable~~haven't had TV in 2 years; free internet; hey, those prisoners live better than I do! But I'm FREE.

At least for now........

11/18 Update: Agape Press
by Bill Fancher

...Conservatives gathered at the Washington, DC-based Heritage Foundation on Thursday (Nov. 17) to discuss the prospects of the United Nations taking control of the Internet.

The panelists taking part in the seminar agreed this was one of the easiest topics they have ever explored. They said it would be devastating to allow the U.N. to control the worldwide web.{What hubris to think they are even ENTITLED to do so; as if any of them had anything to do with the creation of the World Wide Web, which might entitle them a teeny, tiny bit. Since they had NOTHING to do with it, just who are they to determine how it should be controlled?}

Minnesota Senator Norm Coleman said the Internet must be kept free. "The good book says that people without a vision will perish," Coleman offered. "The vision that we have to have is a vision of a liberated Internet -- a vision of an Internet not controlled by government, not controlled by international organizations."

California Congressman John Doolittle is convinced the U.N. wants to gain control of the Internet so it can raise huge amounts of money. "The U.N. has already proposed a so-called 'bit tax' {Don't know about the rest of ya'll, but I AIN'T paying it~~EVER.} on sending data through the Internet at a rate of one cent per 100 e-mails," the lawmaker says. "This so-called 'very small tax' on the roughly one billion people using the Internet today would equate to almost two trillion dollars to fill the U.N.'s coffers." {See, GREED is prompting this and nothing more. Does anyone in their right mind believe the United Nations would do any good with this money? NO. They wouldn't. The poor would remain poor while the "fat cats" got fatter.}

The resounding conclusion of the panel was that the Internet needs to be kept as far as possible from the U.N.
{AMEN.}
