UN Wants a 10% Global Tax to Pay for New ‘Shared Responsibility’ Program to Address Coronavirus Pandemic
No.
[GatewayPundit] The United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, has announced the creation of a fund for addressing the global coronavirus pandemic ‐ and he is simultaneously asking nations to contribute the equivalent of at least 10 percent of the annual income of the entire planet to a massive "human-centered, innovative and coordinated stimulus package" that would be administered at the international level.



Although Guterres doesn’t state it explicitly, he seems to be connecting the new fund, which he calls a "dedicated COVID-19 Response and Recovery Fund," with the massive stimulus package plan, announcing both measures in the same press release.

If countries were to accept the plan, the United Nations or some similar coordinating agency would be given the equivalent of approximately 8.7 trillion USD, an unprecedented amount that would be 2,900 times greater than the UN’s annual budget of 3 billion USD.

The proposed plan would effectively place a global agency, presumably the UN itself, in charge of propping up the economies of the world during the coronavirus crisis, placing it in charge of 10% of global income.

#7 The fact that they are using the pandemic to push for this should get it an automatic 'Go F Yourself' just as an automatic reaction.
And a complete defunding of the U.N. as a measured response.

#9 I think we need the money that we give to the UN more during this crisis. Might go on a very long time. Defund the UN and keep that money in the US.

#11 How about we first have a full audit of the UN. Anyone found to have been stealing money, handing it to friends etc, you know the usual crap, will be publicly executed. As will whoever they gave the money to. Then if there's any UN people left, we can then tell them, "ESAD"

#12 How many years, no, decades has the UN resisted any attempt to have any public financial audit? FOAD.

#14 Ummm, Tony? Which letter of the word NO do you not understand? The "N," or the "O"?

I'll be happy to explain them both.

After I do that, you can FOAD.
