I am really having trouble reconciling a few things.....
I mean I remember Alex Jones raving on about carbon tax being the beginnings of a global tax of the new world order somewhere perhaps his endgame movie and I have always thought the guy is a "conspiracy" nutter....
And now I find that this is written in exactly those terms is seemingly easily verifiable text from 1976:
"The Financing of Development: A new framework for international resource transfers form an essential part of the effort to establish a new international order. It will take time to negotiate such a framework and put its various elements in place, but at least some of the principles on which this framework should be based can be spelt out. (I) An element of automation must be built into the resource transfer system. To be realistic, the world community is still too early in its stage of evolution and recognition of its interdependence to accept the concept of international taxation of the rich nations for the benefit of the poor nations. But the concept need not be accepted in its entirety: it can be introduced gradually over time through a variety of devices:... (b) certain sources of international financing can be developed - such as tax on non-renewable resources, tax on international pollutants... (c) if the rich industrialized nations are unwilling to tax themselves, others can collect and distribute these tax proceeds on the basis of what the rich nations consume - e.g. even a one-dollar per barrel 'development levy' by OPEC..." - 216

I mean really, how is a supposedly "rational" person meant to process this information, sometimes I feel like that guy from the matrix who took the red pill and just wants to go back to the way things were.....
Have I descended into the "conspiracy" realm dominated by schizotypal personalities. Have I had some break from reality?
Is Alex Jones a conspiracy nutter or is he reporting reality?
