one-world government has been proceeding rapidly. Following are some of the news reports that document the huge strides that have been taken towards world government during 2012: UN Plans Global Welfare System Article: UN Wants World Tax to ‘Help the Poor’ Infowars.com – February 3, 2012 The United Nations wants a world tax imposed on all financial transactions to fund a global model of social services that will provide ‘needy people’ with a basic income, free healthcare, education and housing. “No one should live below a certain income level,” stated Milos Koterec, President of the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations. “Everyone should be able to access at least basic health services, primary education, housing, water, sanitation and other essential services.” The UN is planning two global taxes to pay for this global welfare program and to provide the United Nations with an independent source of revenue. They want a world tax imposed on all financial transactions and cap & trade taxes that would force businesses and individuals to pay for exceeding their assigned carbon emissions quota. These two taxes combined would generate an incredible amount of revenue, supplying the finances to enable the UN to become a bona fide world government. This represents the UN’s latest attempt to fleece Western taxpayers under the utopian rhetoric of global socialism and to reinvigorate the pursuit of a one-world government. According to the report, the new global tax is designed to be a progressive scale, with higher earners paying more to help provide “all needy people with a basic income, healthcare, education and housing. World Government Refuses to Approve the Toppling of the Syrian Government Article: US ‘Disgusted’ at Russia, China UNSC Veto on Syria Reuters – February 4, 2012 Russia and China vetoed a UN Security Council resolution on WHILE OUR ATTENTION HAS BEEN LOCKED ON EGYPT, LIBYA, IRAN AND SYRIA, THE DRIVE TO ESTABLISH A ONEWORLD GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN PROCEEDING RAPIDLY. Saturday calling for Syrian President Bashar Assad to resign, prompting the US delegate to react with “disgust” that the permanent council members had thwarted international action to stop 11 months of violence. Editor’s note: Though 13 of the 15 members of the security council voted for the resolution, Russia and China are two of the five permanent members of the council that possess veto power over UN Security Council actions. Editor’s note: Most UN members believe the veto power of the five permanent members should be abolished so that the UN could function as a true world government of equal states. However, this change has not yet been accepted by the world body. Russia has been Syria’s ally and number one supplier of military equipment for many years-thus the veto. CFR Launches ‘Council of Councils’ Article: CFR Convenes “Council of Councils” Linking Leading Foreign Policy Institutes From Around the World Council on Foreign Relations – March 12, 2012 The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) has launched an international initiative to connect leading foreign policy institutes from around the world in a common conversation on issues of global governance and multilateral cooperation. The mission of the Council of Councils is to find common ground on shared threats, build support for innovative ideas, and inject remedies into the public debate and policymaking processes of member countries. The founding membership of the Council of Councils includes leading institutions from 19 countries, roughly tracking the composition of the Group of Twenty (G20). The network will facilitate candid, not-forattribution dialogue and consensus building among influential opinion leaders from established and emerging nations. CFR will convene the inaugural Council of Councils conference on March 12-13 in Washington, DC. Participants will tackle four major themes at this first gathering: • the overall state of global governance and multilateral cooperation • the status of the nuclear nonproliferation regime (with a focus on Iran) • the dollar’s future as the world’s reserve currency • the criteria for humanitarian intervention, in the wake of regime change in Libya and the ongoing crisis in Syria The group will also consider longterm structural reforms that would enhance the global governance capacity of leading international institutions. CFR President Richard N. Haass said, “The defining foreign policy challenges of the twenty-first century are global in nature. The Council of Councils draws on the best thinking from around the world to assess emerging threats and opportunities and formulate responses to them.” CFR’s International Institutions and Global Governance (IIGG) program aim to identify the institutional requirements for effective multilateral cooperation in the twentyfirst century. Editor’s note: Multilateral cooperation is the globalists’ way of saying world government. Only World Government Can Prevent Climate Catastrophe Article: Effective World Government Will Be Needed to Stave Off Climate Catastrophe Scientific American – March 17, 2012 Human societies must now change course and steer away from critical tipping points in the Earth system that might lead to rapid and irreversible change.
