The United Nations Wants to TAX YOU
(00:00.95)
No Taxation Without Representation 2025 Edition. I brought this up on the podcast, I don’t know, a year or two ago. I can’t remember exactly. But it’s back. I forgot about it, quite frankly. I thought it actually went away, especially with Donald Trump in office. The International Maritime Organization.
IMO, United Nations body based in London. They’re looking, they’ve got a meeting this week and they want to secure final approval for its quote, net zero framework for shipping. What this will do is it will impose charges per metric ton of carbon dioxide that ships emit above certain limits.
The tax would be $100 or $380 per metric ton depending on various factors. That could translate to an annual tax take of $10 billion to $12 billion. This is right. The United Nations is going to tax all of us. They’re going to tax the globe. United Nations. Anyway.
Trump administration, they actually threatened and good for them. But quite frankly, I think his threat doesn’t go far enough. Donald likes coming out and issuing his cooking oil threats and tariffs, all this stuff. I’m president of the United States right now. I’m coming out to a podium or putting out a tweet that if this international maritime organization goes through with this tax,
the United States is going to leave the United Nations period the end. And I’d follow through with it like this, okay? No taco, no taco. We are going to leave and you can take your damn United Nations. You can move it right the hell out of New York. We’ll give you a year. Again, I wanted this a long time ago. You move the bloody thing to Sudan, okay? Move it to Darfur.

Move it to Port-au-Prince, Haiti, for crying out loud. Get it out of New York. Trump is threatening to slap sanctions on any country that votes in favor of imposing this tax. Again, why? This is going to raise costs. Not just us here in the United States, but everyone. It’s going to increase global shipping costs by as much as 10%.
Again, there is a little bit of irony. Wall Street Journal pointed this out today that Trump’s worried about the price of imports, especially when he’s terrifying anybody. But anyway, neither here nor there. This is political. It’s economic, but it’s political. If you do recall, the United Nations has tried in the past to put together various different emissions
carbon schemes, whatever it may be. They wanted to do it for aviation. This is, again, the United Nations claiming that they have the ability to levy a tax on the entire globe that’s gonna be paid to a UN controlled fund.
(03:51.758)
This net zero fund is going to be managed by agency staff. They say it would support innovation in green shipping and record low emissions and reward low emissions ships. What a bunch of bullshit. OK, sorry. OK, it is. You know this and I know this. This is just another slush fund that’s going to go and they’re going to pay off different people and manage.
Most of it will end up in some Swiss bank account somewhere. Again, the US is one of the greatest wastes of money. One of the top things that we do. mean, it’s hard to rank them in terms of wasted tax dollars. And I want remind everybody, the greatest, they said the greatest, largest financial scam at all time was the UN run Iraq oil for food scam with a
what was actually led by the Kofi Annan’s son, the Iraq oil for food scam. Again,
Why this thing even does what exactly do you do? I mean, yeah, you snarl traffic in New York City when you have a general assembly. What exactly do you do? Nothing. Yet we continue to fund this nonsense. Again, I’m calling on the president, calling president to say, hey, we don’t, you know, we don’t do that here in the United States. We’re not going to have the United Nations tax.
American since it’s just just not gonna happen. You want to follow through with this. You can move your crappy-ass United Nations out of the country because you know what we’re out. See how fast. See how fast they do a 180. Watchdogonwallstreet.com
