When the new world government makes it into the pages of The Wall Street Journal, is it still a conspiracy theory?
Has Anyone Read the Copenhagen Agreement?
U.N. plans for a new 'government' are scary.
By JANET ALBRECHTSEN
We can only hope that world leaders will do nothing more than enjoy a pleasant bicycle ride around the charming streets of Copenhagen. For if they actually manage to wring out an agreement based on the current draft text of the Copenhagen climate-change treaty, the world is in for some nasty surprises. Draft text, you say? If you haven't heard about it, that's because none of our otherwise talkative political leaders have bothered to tell us what the drafters have already cobbled together for leaders to consider. And neither have the media.
Enter Lord Christopher Monckton. The former adviser to Margaret Thatcher gave an address at Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota, earlier this month that made quite a splash. For the first time, the public heard about the 181 pages, dated Sept. 15, that comprise the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change�a rough draft of what could be signed come December.
So far there have been more than a million hits on the YouTube post of his address. It deserves millions more because Lord Monckton warns that the aim of the Copenhagen draft treaty is to set up a transnational "government" on a scale the world has never before seen.
The "scheme for the new institutional arrangement under the Convention" that starts on page 18 contains the provision for a "government." The aim is to give a new as yet unnamed U.N. body the power to directly intervene in the financial, economic, tax and environmental affairs of all the nations that sign the Copenhagen treaty.
The reason for the power grab is clear enough: Clause after complicated clause of the draft treaty requires developed countries to pay an "adaptation debt" to developing countries to supposedly support climate change mitigation. Clause 33 on page 39 says that "by 2020 the scale of financial flows to support adaptation in developing countries must be [at least $67 billion] or [in the range of $70 billion to $140 billion per year]."
And how will developed countries be slugged to provide for this financial flow to the developing world? The draft text sets out various alternatives, including option seven on page 135, which provides for "a [global] levy of 2 per cent on international financial market [monetary] transactions to Annex I Parties," among others the U.S., Australia, Britain and Canada.
Interviewed by broadcaster Alan Jones on Sydney radio Monday, Lord Monckton said "this is the first time I've ever seen any transnational treaty referring to a new body to be set up under that treaty as a 'government.'

I also just watched the latest interview of Mockton on the Alex Jones Show (Dec. 8th), and he describes what he claims to be the actual text of the treaty. He claims he was able to get a copy of it in advance (after making a big fuss over it, they original denied even having it). He is in Copenhagen now, so this is the latest news. Some of the main points in the treaty that he describes are as follows:
--industrialized nations will be required to pay a tax of up to 2% of GNP. (To put it into perspective, in the US this would be an amount greater than half of our total annual military budget).
--industrialized nations will be levied on their greenhouse gas emissions.
--allowances to emit greenhouse gases will be auctioned, and if countries/companies don't buy these allowances, then things like power plants will be forced to shut down.
--a uniform levy of $2 per ton of all emissions will be enforced globally, specifically on aviation.
--a 2% global levy on international monetary transactions (on top of other taxes already mentioned).
--penalties for "non-compliance", whether in terms of failing to reduce emissions to levels laid out in the treaty, or not paying taxes.
--and worst of all... all of the above is to be enforced by a global "police force", the first of its kind ever created by an international organization, which will have the power to impose "unlimited financial penalties" on countries who don't follow the rules.
--the money will be used to fund around 700 new UN bureaucracies.
I am quoting Monckton nearly verbatim on the above points. Whether it is true or not I can't verify yet since I don't have a copy of the text myself, but he is quite clear about it. He does say that he and his people are still reading it over, and that there are pages and pages of additional taxation mechanisms (far too many for him to list in his interview). It's basically a complete world take-over by the UN and its bureaucracies (run by the World Bank and IMF) in the making.
