What looks, acts, and taxes like One World Government?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The UN has succeeded in getting a global shipping tax approved supposedly to control the weather.  It will be formally adopted in October, and start in 2027, applying to ships of more than 5,000 tons. I don\u2019t remember our parliamentarians debating it, do you? Somehow a tariff is a terrible thing, but a global trade tax paid to unaccountable bureaucrats will save the world?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It sets a very dangerous new precedent. For the first time the United Nations would be able to tax the world directly, without twisting the arm of national governments.  Who owns the oceans? The UN apparently\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By 2030 the UN is projected to collect $40 billion in total from this tax. Supposedly they will hand this on to \u201csupporting developing countries\u201d (like China, eh?). Obviously, this gives the UN bureaucrats another $40 billion in power. It\u2019s more money for them to fly to conferences in the Amazon, more money to reward their \u201cfriends\u201d, and more money to buy the right votes at the right moment. It will feed more committees to write more press releases to shake down even more money from the hapless taxpayers of the West.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And why would it stop there? Once the UN can collect the cash from ships, why not planes too, and surely satellites and rockets? (Has anyone told Elon?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever happened to \u201cNo taxation without political representation?\u201d Killed by a thousands cuts.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global breakthrough to tackle shipping emissions<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Esme Stallard, BBC<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Countries have agreed a global deal to tackle shipping emissions, after nearly ten years of negotiations.\u00a0 The agreement covers the vast majority of the world\u2019s commercial shipping and means that starting in 2028, ship owners will have to use increasingly cleaner fuels or face fines.\u00a0The deal was nearly derailed after Saudi Arabia forced a last-minute vote and the US pulled out of talks in London \u2013 but it eventually passed on Friday. Small island states and environmental groups were angry that a blanket tax was not agreed to and called the deal \u201cunfit for purpose\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The United Nations\u2019 International Maritime Organization (IMO) will be able to take $380 per ton of \u201ccarbon\u201d emitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will require owners of large international vessels to increase their use of less carbon intensive fuels or face a penalty of up to $380 per tonne of carbon dioxide emissions<\/strong> they emit from burning fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vote was requested by Saudi Arabia, who did not support the agreement, and this position was shared by a dozen other oil-producing nations, including Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although they opposed the proposal, they will be bound to implement it because they are members of the IMO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The targets are impossible but that\u2019s a feature, not a bug<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The UN decided the world\u2019s shipping will reach Net Zero in 2050, as if we will all learn to sail or use solar powered ships. But the UN surely knows the targets are wildly unreasonable, and that\u2019s the point.  Ships that don\u2019t manage to convert to hydrogen or ammonia, or run on palm oil or fairy dust, will be able to \u201cpay more\u201d to the UN instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The great thing about impossible targets is they make for endless cash cows for fat parasites to dine out on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Figures vary depending on the fuel type but the World Economic Forum estimates<\/a> that these green fuels are 3-4 times more expensive to produce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is no fuel as cheap as diesel that ships use today because when we take crude oil out of the ground, we take out all the nice bits, that\u2019s the kerosene for aviation, diesel and petrol for cars,\u201d said Faig Abbasov, programme director for maritime transport at think tank Transport and Environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhatever is left at the bottom, that\u2019s what ships burn. So, no fuel will be as cheap as this because not much energy goes into its production,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is estimated that the agreement could achieve an 8% reduction in emissions for the sector by 2030, according to the maritime consultancy UMAS.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, they will use $40 billion to cut 8% off 3% of the human global emissions by 2030 \u2014 cutting mankind\u2019s whole output by 0.25%, an amount too small to measure, but employing a lot of UN people to do it. And the money will go help the poor starving NGO\u2019s who ran out of USAID money, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any money raised from the penalties will be put into a \u201cNet Zero\u201d fund, with money spent on scaling up greener fuels and supporting developing countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is this \u201credistribution\u201d that prompted the US delegation to pull out of the talks on Tuesday night. A letter was sent by the US to all countries at the IMO negotiations saying any levy would cause inflation and if it was passed then \u201creciprocal measures\u201d would be taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deal was nearly derailed after Saudi Arabia forced a last minute vote and the US pulled out of talks in London \u2013 but it eventually passed on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US delegation left the proceedings, but apparently that doesn\u2019t matter because they don\u2019t have many boats (can we get an exemption too?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US only flags 178 cargo ships that represent 0.57% of worldwide commercial shipping tonnage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once it starts it will never end. If the UN could raise the tax because they felt like it, what would stop them?  Nothing \u2014  until the big trading nations get fed up, and either pull out of the UN or send in the aircraft carriers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than ever, we need an alliance in the Anglosphere that just says \u201cNo\u201d. End the UN. It has failed at the only tasks it was set up to do \u2014 stop wars and end pandemics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
