Pope - Praying the United Nations Collects More Taxes
The pope of Rome once again deceived the thousands gathered on March 17 to hear him speak. An "International Conference on Financing for Development," sponsored by the United Nations, will take place March 18-22 in Monterrey, Mexico. It is being billed as the first-ever "summit-level" international conference on global development. Endorsing this conference, the pope told the crowds at St. Peter's Square, "I ask everyone to pray so that the international community will respond with a generous and determined commitment to the immense needs of so many brethren who live in a poverty that wounds human dignity." This all sounds nice, but let's take a look at the real reason the pope supports this conference.
Just as when we examine the bible, and find the pope does not teach the truth of Christ, so too, the pope is not giving us all the information as to the purpose of this conference. The pope doesn't care about poverty! He wants international organizations strengthened because he can wield more influence over a few of them, than over many individual sovereign nations.
What the pope DIDN'T say was - the purpose of this conference will be to promote international taxation! The U.N. wants more money, and is looking for "innovative sources of finance," as the conference document states. U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan wants to set up a system of global taxes on transactions in the foreign currency markets, and his U.N. commission on this has already proposed the establishment of the "International Tax Organization," or "ITO."
This tax is also known as the "Tobin tax," named after a Yale University economist. On the surface, ordinary people may think this won't affect them, but every foreign currency transaction performed by their bank, insurance company, pension plan, IRA, or mutual fund would be taxed and sent to the U.N.! Some U.S. supporters of the Tobin tax are the AFL-CIO and the Friends of the Earth. Two years ago, Fidel Castro publicly endorsed the Tobin tax.
A few reasons the pope would love to see such a tax are:
1. He can look compassionate without having to spend a penny.
2. It will strengthen the U.N. at the expense of sovereign nations.
3. It will further drain the resources of the one nation standing in the way of the internationalist agenda - the Protestant United States.
I'm praying this conference falls flat on it's face. We've seen God's attitude toward internationalism in Genesis 11, when He smote ancient Babel and scattered the nations. May our fervent prayer be the Lord protects us from the pope and his modern church of Babel.
