According to a recent article in the American Free Press (March 24, 'GLOBALISTS GATHER IN BRUSSELS') at a recent Trilateral Commission meeting, members of the government and the corporate elite have come up with an innovative solution to the global warming problem. With all the resources available to this group of individuals; government studies, climate reports, and taxpayer dollars; we can all rest assured that the most effective and informed decision was made. What is this wonderful, radical solution that will adequately deal with the threat of global warming? Another tax of course.
And not just any tax, we are talking about a whopping one dollar per gallon gasoline tax as "penance" for causing pollution. Apparently these are the kinds of solutions being recommended at these super secret Trilateral Commission meetings by the ultra wealthy and former heads of the Central Intelligence Agency. But wait, the Trilateral Commission is a committee of private citizens from North America, Japan, and Europe isn't it? Who are they to be pushing additional taxation on the average taxpayer?
The terminology used at this meeting is also suspect. The fact that this tax should be imposed as "penance" should raise a few eyebrows. Penance? Like punishment or discipline? This suggests that this one dollar per gallon tax is simply reparations and not toward any effort to clean up the environment. So where will all this additional revenue go? Will any of it at all go to the environment? If so, who will police this new revenue stream? Can we trust a government with this huge windfall when it has shown such little respect for our hard earned tax dollars in the past?
So as usual the solution to this problem, like every other problem the government has to deal with, is to increase taxes. Problem, reaction, solution. But surely this private group of elites doesn’t have the power to lobby for such a tax, do they? Let’s dig a little deeper.
According to the same American Free Press article, back in 1991 at a meeting in Tokyo, the Trilateral Commission had called for a 10 cent increase in gasoline taxes. The Washington Post, who was in attendance, immediately followed up with an editorial on the topic the very next day. Would this pattern repeat itself this time? A quick search for "Carbon Tax" on the Washington Post website returns several results including two published on April 1; one entitled "Tax on Carbon Emissions Gains Support" and another entitled "We Can Get Out of These Ruts" which specifically mentions a dollar per gallon gasoline tax, but makes no reference to the Trilateral Commission. Are we to believe that both parties arrived at the exact same conclusion independently? This whole thing reeks of industry and media collusion, no big surprise considering the fact that the Washington Post attends all Trilateral Commission and Bilderberg meetings.
So it appears the writing is on the wall, get ready for a dollar per gallon carbon tax, another windfall for the powers that be. However, the phrase "carbon tax" sounds vaguely familiar, perhaps something else is going on here. Documents from the "North American Forum" which took place in September 2006 in Banff, Alberta have recently been released under Freedom of Information Act and may shed some light on the subject.
For those who are unaware (which is no big surprise due to the media's reluctance to cover the topic), the so called Security and Prosperity Plan of North America (SPP) was launched in March of 2005 by the leaders of Canada, the U.S., and Mexico in an effort to "increase security" and "enhance Prosperity" between the three nations through "greater cooperation and information sharing". More loosely known as the North American Union or NAFTA's big brother, the SPP has enjoyed relative anonymity in the media as it seeks to integrate the governmental, economic, and defense policies among others of the three North American countries.
