Bin Laden Isn’t the Only One Out to Bankrupt the U.S

How the U.S. Through Statutes and Bureaucracies Intends to Tax Into the World’s Biggest Economy for the Purpose of Wealth Redistribution.

Bin Laden has stated that one of his objectives is to bankrupt the United States, to get his hands on the human capital, resources and treasure to further the goals of Islamism and the glory of Islam. The United Nations has similar designs on the U.S. economy, but for different reasons.

The U.N. continues to try to get direct regulatory access to the U.S. economy. The proposed “Internet Tax” is one way. The Kyoto Protocol that we didn’t sign is a part of the U.N. the second-ever “World Conference on Disaster Reduction” this week in Kobe, Japan, “attempting to blame natural disasters on, of all things, people,” us. And President Bush is standing in its way.

“The U.N.’s first disaster conference, held in 1994, was the “World Conference on Natural Disaster Reduction, which, incidentally (sic), occurred during the U.N.-proclaimed “International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction.” (1990-1999). (U.N. has a habit of naming years and decades for its projects)

Instead of focusing on the 10th anniversary of the deadly 1995 earthquake in Kobeand the enormous problems still facing the world following the Indian Ocean tsunami, “you would think they would focus on “natural disasters.” For the U.N. natural disasters appear to be no longer “natural.”

The U.N. has bought into the unproven notion that humans are significantly altering global climate for the worse. Thus people, industrialized countries, the U.S., are responsible for costly hurricanes, floods, droughts, heat waves, the rise of the seas due to melting ice caps, desertification of Africa, the inundation of Bangladesh, and so on.

And the particular people that the UN would most like to pin the blame for global warming on would be deep-pocket Americans, American businesses and the American government. As the global warming alarmist community likes to point out, the U.S. is the largest single contributor to the alleged global warming, emitting 25 percent of all greenhouse gases while possessing only 4 percent of the world’s population.

Toward the goal of blaming the U.S. for what used to be considered “natural disasters” in order to eventually extract financial compensation, the UN conference’s draft action plan is riddled with references to climate change [read, “U.S.-made climate change”] as causing or contributing to “disasters.”

The Bush administration rightly opposes the UN’s effort to de-naturalize disasters and has requested that the document’s references to climate change be removed. But UN officials oppose such changes.


The U.S. has achieved much through great effort. The world continues to hammer us with the fact we are a small part of the world’s population using much of the world’s resources. IF INCOME REDISTRIBUTION, or WORLD SOCIALISM, is successful, the wealth of the rich countries will be given out to others “according to their need.”

Jan Egeland, the U.N. Undersecretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, the same Jan Egeland that called the goaded the world, and called them, especially the U.S., “stingy” and “under-taxed,” said: “I hope there will be a global recognition of climate change causing more natural disasters.”

Weather disasters have always been with us. This summer the state of Florida in the U.S. experienced four major hurricanes, the American Midwest has just experienced major flooding of the Ohio River Drainage Basin in the states of Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and Illinois. A major winter storm with blizzard conditions and hurricane-force winds has dumped feet of snow on the Northeast, and California and parts of the Southwest has suffered from excessive rain and snow that led to mudslides, raging rivers and loss of life. All of these “natural disasters” led to loss of life that Americans and the American government dealt with.

There is no credible evidence that humans, much less Americans caused these or any of the other natural weather—related disasters: cold snaps, heat waves, ice storms, floods, droughts, all that have plagued man from the beginning of time before the development of the industrial world.

In earlier days, God was given credit for natural disasters, now the U.N. has decided that God-like, the United States has “discernible impact on the frequency and severity” of these disasters in Nature.

The media accuses President Bush of being “anti-science”, and has made the misinformed case which attributes all weather-related disasters to global warming. Some scientists “now feel compelled to go out of their way to reaffirm that global warming ISN’T causing natural disasters.

Not only is President Bush, a member of one of America’s richest families, being targeted, but “deep pocketed Americans, American businesses, and the American government [as] the U.S. is the largest single contributor to the alleged global warming..”

The U.N. dramatizes the need for an “action plan” by claiming that: economic damages resulting for “disasters” have increased from about 1,500 disasters costing $700 billion during the 1990s; and the number of “threatened” by “disasters” has increased from about 750 million people in the 1970s to about 2.5 billion people in the 1990s.


And we don’t know yet how many people the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami will ultimately affect.

How accurate are these estimates?

But “to the extend that natural disasters do wreak more natural havoc and threaten more people now than 30 years ago, that is most likely dure to all the upscale development that has spreading during that time to coastal regions and other areas more vulnerable to the whims of Mother Nature.


The end game is to get the United States to pay for damages due to weather-related damage. Who pays for them now? In some cases, such as in the United States, the Federal Government in the form of FEMA pays as well as insurance companies.

Participating in the U.N. conference is the German insurance company Munich Re, which has issued a report “Megacities—Megarisks: Trends and challenges for insurance and risk management. This 83-page report discusses the “alleged impacts of global warming and other ‘disasters’ on insurers.” It would be wonderful for the insurance industry to be able to assign liability to the United States government!

The end-game of the insurance industry, like that of the UN, is to be able to blame natural disasters on global warming so that it also can eventually seek compensation for its losses from U.S. businesses and taxpayers.

Insurers, apparently, are more than happy to accept premiums for writing risky policies, but not too happy when Mother Nature and policyholders force them to make good on claims.


Munich Re, the German insurance company colluding with the U.N., claims that

… “the urban heat island effect” – the modern-day phenomenon where cities are warmer than surrounding rural areas due to increased heat trapping by concrete and asphalt—amplifies the effect of global warming to increase the number of deaths caused by heatwaves.

Despite any intuitive appeal, this assertion is unfounded since there is no scientific evidence that global warming — which involves a hypothesized few-degree rise in global temperatures over the course of a century — has anything to do with summer heatwaves — which involve sudden dramatic, short-term shifts in local temperature.

Weather, after all, is not climate. (my emphasis)


The end game is more than to give relief to the insurance industry. The U.N. has its eye on the considerable assets of the United States and the rest of the industrialized world and believes that U.N. elites know better than anyone else how to manage and spend them. Recent financial scandals, such as “Oil for Food,” can lay to rest that notion, and like bin Laden, the U.N. will continue to forge ahead with its notions of a world government and financial system operated and distributed by the IMF, International Monetary Fund, a subsidiary of the United Nations.

It is unlikely that United States will voluntarily cede political or financial sovereignty to either bin Laden or to the U.N.
