WWF and Oxfam pushing for a shipping tax at Durban COP17 – since when do NGO's get to write tax laws?

The NGO “Charities” like WWF & Oxfam are amongst the most dangerous players in the cAGW scam. And there are plenty of precedents for them writing draft legislation.
Exactly what Bryony Worthington of Fiends of the Earth did when she drafted the UK’s Climate Change Act 2008 for little Eddie Milipede. Arguably the most expensive (and ridiculous) Bill ever passed into law.
She’s now Baroness Worthington.

In fact, I’m fairly certain that this is the ship in question:

A French-flagged LNG tanker built in 1974 and probably headed for the breakers’ yard soon.

The U.N. is sure to go for this. Look carefully at the “analysis” offered by Oxfam and WWF. $25 billion is collected then $10 billion goes to developing countries and $10 billion for the greenies to waste. That makes it perfect for U.N. accountants because it leaves $5 billion to be siphoned off and put into bureaucrats’ Swiss bank accounts.

I thought that organisations registered as charities, like WWF and Oxfam, had to stay clear of political campaigning in order not to lose their charitable status. In campaigning for a tax based on the highly politicised subject of CO2 emissions they appear to have crossed that boundary.

That looks like a steam turbine powered tanker ” blowing the tubes” i.e. getting rid of soot from the boiler tubes.

This isn’t a tax, it’s a punitive fine for ‘carbon pollution’.
Taxes are paid to governments for governance services
and are roughly proportional to the cost of said services.
The UN isn’t even a government and does zero services for anybody.
Also, that diagram forgot the FAT money-arrow going to these very clowns.

I am afraid it is a tax. That has been the whole point of the exercise from day one. To con the public into Making the United Nations a GOVERNMENT. To be a government the United Nations needs certain powers and the ability to tax the people of the world without going through national governments is one of those powers.

Good Governance at the Supranational Scale: Globalizing Administrative Law
“…While acknowledging the inevitable lack of democratic underpinnings for supranational governance, this Article highlights a series of other bases for legitamacy: expertise and the ability to promote social welfare; the order and stability provided by the rule of law; checks and balances; structured deliberation; and most notabably the institutional design of policymaking process as structured by principles and practices of administrative law…”

Activists and NGOs
Several years ago I looked into NGOs because of the WTO/Food/Animal ID issue. Here is some relevant stuff from my notes. (The links may no longer work)
BACKGROUND:
From a history blog:

Ignoring Elites, Historians Are Missing a Major Factor in Politics and History
“… Over the last quarter-century, historians have by and large ceased writing about the role of ruling elites in the country’s evolution. Or if they have taken up the subject, they have done so to argue against its salience for grasping the essentials of American political history. Yet there is something peculiar about this recent intellectual aversion, even if we accept as true the beliefs that democracy, social mobility, and economic dynamism have long inhibited the congealing of a ruling stratum. This aversion has coincided, after all, with one of the largest and fastest-growing disparities in the division of income and wealth in American history….Neglecting the powerful had not been characteristic of historical work before World War II. ” http://hnn.us/roundup/archives/11/2005/3/#11068

Remember the Students for a Democratic Society on campus when you were in college?

The ‘Innocents’ Clubs’
“…During the 1920’s and most of the 1930’s Münzenberg played a leading role in the Comintern, Lenin’s front for world-wide co-ordination of the left under Russian control. Under Münzenberg’s direction, hundreds of groups, committees and publications cynically used and manipulated the devout radicals of the West….Most of this army of workers in what Münzenberg called ‘Innocents’ Clubs’ had no idea they were working for Stalin. They were led to believe that they were advancing the cause of a sort of socialist humanism. The descendents of the ‘Innocents’ Clubs’ are still hard at work in our universities and colleges. Every year a new cohort of impressionable students join groups like the Anti-Nazi League believing them to be benign opponents of oppression…” http://www.heretical.com/miscella/munzen.html

THE ORIGINS OF NGOs
Remember Maurice Strong, Chair of the First Earth Summit in 1972 that started CAGW? The guy who said “…current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class…are not sustainable. A shift is necessary toward lifestyles less geared to environmentally damaging consumption patterns….” in his opening remarks at Earth Summit II in 1992.
In brief Maurice Strong worked in Saudi Arabia for a Rockefeller company, Caltex, in 1953. He left Caltex in 1954 to worked at high levels in banking and oil. By 1971, he served as a trustee for the Rockefeller Foundation, and in 1972 was Secretary-General of the U.N. Conference on the Human Environment. He was Co-founder of the WWF and Senior Advisor to the World Bank and the UN.
Strong’s early work with YMCA international “…may have been the genesis of Strong’s realization that NGOs (non-government organizations) provide an excellent way to use NGOs to couple the money from philanthropists and business with the objectives of government.” http://sovereignty.net/p/sd/strong.html

“Very few of even the larger international NGOs are operationally democratic, in the sense that members elect officers or direct policy on particular issues,” notes Peter Spiro. “Arguably it is more often money than membership that determines influence, and money more often represents the support of centralized elites, such as major foundations, than of the grass roots.” The CGG [Commission on Global Governance] has benefited substantially from the largesse of the MacArthur, Carnegie, and Ford Foundations…. http://www.afn.org/~govern/strong.html

NGOs REPLACE VOTERS in USA
By Presidential Executive Order the USA was divided into ten regions. These regions are governed by an unholy mix of unelected government bureaucrats and NGOs. The regions were set up by President Nixon but the implementation of the “regional governance concept began in earnest with the Clinton-Gore administration. “On the heels of the President’s Council on Sustainable Development , came the President’s Community Empowerment Board, chaired by Vice President Al Gore,” [ http://www.rense.com/general63/ree.htm ] These quasi-governmental regional authorities are slowly transforming the US from representative government to government by United Nations sponsored and directed NGOs and appointed bureaucrats.
THE BEHIND THE SCENES PLAYERS

SCIENTIFIC STUDY Says World’s Stocks Controlled by Select Few
A recent analysis of the 2007 financial markets of 48 countries has revealed that the world’s finances are in the hands of just a few mutual funds, banks, and corporations. This is the first clear picture of the global concentration of financial power, and point out the worldwide financial system’s vulnerability as it stood on the brink of the current economic crisis…
The most pared-down backbones exist in Anglo-Saxon countries, including the U.S., Australia, and the U.K. Paradoxically; these same countries are considered by economists to have the most widely-held stocks in the world, with ownership of companies tending to be spread out among many investors. But while each American company may link to many owners, Glattfelder and Battiston’s analysis found that the owners varied little from stock to stock, meaning that comparatively few hands are holding the reins of the entire market http://www.insidescience.org/research/study_says_world_s_stocks_controlled_by_select_few

The whole Rockefeller/Strong/Saudi/Khashoggi/CIA/Bush/oil/banking interconnections are worth pursuing considering the 1973 Oil Crisis bankrupted third World Countries so they had to get World bank/IMF loans with SAPs strings controlling their governments. The UN’s Commission on Global Governance, (Maurice Strong of course was a member) was established in 1992, after Rio, at the suggestion of Willy Brandt, former West German chancellor and head of the Socialist International.

….:For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as “internationalists” and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure – one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.” – Pg. 405 of David Rockefeller’s Autobiography, 2002

I think cargo ships should be nuclear, the amount of weight they (diesels) have to carry in fuel is ridiculous.
The only problem is that enriched uranium in a non military vessel is quite enticing for terrorists.
______________________
“…A 2009 assessment by the IAEA under its Innovative Nuclear Power Reactors & Fuel Cycle (INPRO) program concluded that there could be 96 small modular reactors (SMRs) in operation around the world by 2030 in its ‘high’ case, and 43 units in the ‘low’ case, none of them in the USA….. Development of Small Nuclear Power Reactors (suitable for ships) http://www.world-nuclear.org/info/inf33.html
Given the NIMBYs in the USA and the EU, China is going to leave us in the dust as far as nuclear powered shipping. This means the “Affluent Middle Class westerners” will get to foot the bill for a socialist world government while China leaps ahead thanks to “Technology sharing” that has also been mandated.

China Initiates Thorium MSR Project
Published in Coal Strategy Thorium Uranium-233 by Kirk Sorensen on January 30th, 2011
…A Chinese delegation led by Dr. Jiang travelled to Oak Ridge National Lab last fall to learn more about MSR technology and told lab leadership of their plans to develop a thorium-fueled MSR.
The Chinese also recognize that a thorium-fueled MSR is best run with uranium-233 fuel, which inevitably contains impurities (uranium-232 and its decay products) that preclude its use in nuclear weapons. Operating an MSR on the “pure” fuel cycle of thorium and uranium-233 means that a breakeven conversion ratio can be achieved, and after being started on uranium-233, only thorium is required for indefinite operation and power generation.
Currently there is no US effort to develop a thorium MSR. Readers of this blog and Charles Barton’s Nuclear Green blog know that there has been a grass-roots effort underway for over five years to change this. The formation of the Thorium Energy Alliance and the International Thorium Energy Organization have been attempts to convince governmental and industrial leaders to carefully consider the potential of thorium in a liquid-fluoride reactor….
The ability of thorium MSRs to operate at atmospheric pressure and with simplified safety systems means that these reactors could be built in factories and mass-produced. They could then be shipped to operational sites with standard transportation. Their thorium fuel is compact and inexpensive. Chinese rare-earth miners have been rumored to have been stockpiling thorium from rare-earth mining for years, and if this is true, the Chinese will have hundreds of thousands of years of thorium already mined and available for use….. http://energyfromthorium.com/2011/01/30/china-initiates-tmsr/

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
That is the 501c3 of the income tax code (1954) thanks to Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson. It sole goal was to muzzle local churches.
It does not effect NGO or large foundations at all.
The loop hole is WWF or Greenpeace or the Rockefeller foundation funds a small policy making arm that is a different “Corporation” and therefore the bulk of the money is not taxed.
http://hushmoney.org/501c3-facts.htm

“…since when do NGO’s get to write tax laws?”
Ever since the Parasitic Commies started trying to “save the world” by making the rest of us “equal” slaves…again. “Si se pueda!”
