Their speech and writings are rife with deceptive, fuzzy-headed terms like "multilateral cooperative measures," and "global interdependence," and "global solidarity" when they seek to define specific goals and objectives in their "Global New Deal." Some read this phraseology for its entertainment value. And it might be laughable -- except that there are increasing numbers of high-level officials in western democracies and even in the U.S. government who see these terms as appropriate expressions in an "enlightened" worldview. In fact, no representative of any government at the Geneva General Assembly session stood up to challenge those who advocate the dissolution of "nation-states" and abandoning national sovereignty and individual liberty as "archaic concepts." And because the UN operates in virtual secrecy without the scrutiny of a skeptical media, and acts through unelected, unaccountable diplomats answerable to no one, ludicrous ideas become credible concepts. Thus in Geneva, no official arose to oppose the absurd core notion of the Global New Deal: that because so many other national governments are unwilling or unable to do so, the United Nations should provide a "basic income for all people." The idea: Create a "UN currency." Establish a UN central bank and thousands of UN Branch Banks and an accompanying UN debit system. Distribute 250 "UN dollars" to every person in the world (more for those in poverty.) To ensure that all people on the planet benefit, a UN representative would be assigned to represent every 1,000 people. Your local UN representative will be responsible for entering all necessary personal information into the UN Global Computer System to ensure that you use your UN dollars for appropriate purposes."townhall.com
