Is it Time for a World Tax?
Article: UN Urges Countries to Impose
Global Taxes to Boost Aid
Reuters - July 5, 2012
The United Nations on Thursday
urged countries to impose international taxes to raise more than $400 billion
a year, such as a carbon tax, a currency
transaction tax and a billionaires tax,
to offset cutbacks in aid by many countries amid global economic turmoil.
The United Nations has no
authority or mechanisms to enforce an
international tax and can only urge its
193 members to do so.
Proponents of world government
know that a system of global taxation
is necessary if the United Nations is
to become the one-world government
that they envision.
Putin Makes Prophecy-Fulfilling
Suggestion
Article: Putin Makes Global Proposition to Europe
Pravda.Ru – October 7, 2012
President Vladimir Putin believes
that the level of cooperation between
Russia and the EU does not correspond
to the potential of the parties. Putin
invites the Europeans to create a joint

market that would stretch from the
Atlantic to the Pacific.
Putin said during a session at the
Foreign Ministry, “We could put an
ambitious goal with Europe - to build
the joint market from the Atlantic to
the Pacific Ocean in the amount of
140trillions of euros,” Interfax reports.
Putin’s proposal is particularly interesting when we remember that the
Bible prophesies the very union that
he is suggesting.
In Revelation 13:1-2, a beast is
depicted symbolizing the world government of the endtime. This beast has
the mouth of the lion (Great Britain),
the body of the leopard (Germany),
the feet of the bear (Russia) and the
ten horns of a ten-nation alliance
from Europe that has not yet manifest
itself. The prophecy depicts this world
government alliance of the last days
dominating the world. We’d better pay
close attention to what Putin is saying!
Russia, China—Don’t Ignore
International Law
Article: Russia, China Warn West
Against Syria Intervention
Reuters – August 21, 2012
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei
Lavrov on Tuesday warned the West
not to take unilateral action on Syria,
saying that Russia and China agree
that violations of international law
and the United Nations charter are
impermissible.
Russia and China have opposed
military intervention in Syria throughout 17 months of bloodshed and have
vetoed three UN Security Council
resolutions backed by Western and
Arab states that would raise pressure
on Damascus to end violence.
Lavrov, cited by Russian news
agencies at a meeting with China’s top
diplomat, was speaking a day after US
President Barack Obama said US forces
could move against President Bashar
Assad if he deploys chemical weapons
against rebels trying to overthrow him.
Russia and China base their diplomatic cooperation on “the need to
strictly adhere to the norms of international law and the principles contained
in the UN Charter, and not to allow
their violation,” Interfax quoted Lavrov
as saying at a meeting with Chinese
State Councilor Dai Bingguo.
“I think this is the only correct
path in today’s conditions,”
Lavrov said.
