UN unveils plan to release untapped wealth of...$7 trillion
2006-01-30
Hold on to your bank accounts and sovereignty---Via Lucianne:
The most potent threats to life on earth - global warming, health pandemics, poverty and armed conflict - could be ended by moves that would unlock $7 trillion - $7,000,000,000,000 (£3.9trn) - of previously untapped wealth, the United Nations claims today.
The price? An admission that the nation-state is an old-fashioned concept that has no role to play in a modern globalised world where financial markets have to be harnessed rather than simply condemned....

#11  There you go again underestimating the true cost of the whole deal. Anciliary costs bribes will add on an extra $3.365 Trillion. We'll have to work harder for a lot less to make up the shortfall. And when I say "we", I mean all you thievin' capitalists!
#6 Unfortunately, the administrative costs assosiated with this plan will total aprox. $6.2 Trillion.

#4   I wonder how much of that "untapped wealth" is in my wallet?

Well, Kofi and John Kerry want to each grab one of your ankles, turn you upside down and shake until something falls out.

#3  The UN solution to half the population being under either a Marxist dictatorship, or an Islamic mobocracy, is to spread enable its spread to the rest of the world.

#1  I didn't read the whole thing, but a hopeless mishmash of free markets make people rich (self evidently true) with the USA must sign up to Kyoto cos it it aint gonna work otherwise (ignoring the fact it isn't and never will work anyway). It then lumps together fighting disease makes people better off (again self evidently true) with securing third world debts against productive aspects of economies, economic idiocy because it loads down the stuff that works with the debts of the stuff that doesn't work.

I despair when I read this brain dead nonsense.
