UN Attempting Power & Money Grab Supported by Influential Occupy Supporter

The United Nations (UN) attempt to grab money and further power is not new.  “Innovative methods of financing” is the latest term they are using to describe their actions.

Examples: A 1% worldwide billionaires tax, a currency trading tax, a tax on all financial dealings (stock, bond and derivative trading), a carbon emissions tax or an airline ticket tax.

These ideas are supported at UN meetings.  The idea is that the UN would be in charge of these funds and “redistribute” the funds to poorer countries.

Also supporting these measures is Jeffrey Sachs.

Sachs is a vocal Occupy Wall Street supporter and “climate change” fighter.

Sachs also happens to be the leader of the Earth Institute, from Columbia University and a UN Assistant Secretary General.  Part of his (UN) duties are to work with UN agencies and “multilateral financing institutions and other international organizations” to (in large part) fight climate change.  To do so he was appointed head of a new lobbying group named the Sustainable Development Solutions Network.

This week Sachs was noted to have been promoting a U.S. carbon tax to fight “climate change” by calling on President Obama.  He has also been quoted “I’m happy to have the future pay for a lot of this. It doesn’t have to be current financed.” by Bloomberg News.

TSA Spending More On New Security System

The TSA (Transportation Security Administration) is switching security systems.  The apparent motivation…  privacy and health concerns.

A $245 million program is establishing the second generation of body scanners.  American Science and Engineering and L-3 Communications has been chosen to develop the new device.

The new technology now in use is called Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT-2).  It is able to find non metal weapons and home made explosive devices.  The AIT-2 makes use of two types of technology;  x-ray scans and electromagnetic waves.

These new scanners have already been deployed in San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, San Diego and Sacramento earlier this summer.  Another 700 have also been placed around the country.

San Francisco tops Businessweek.com’s 2012 Best Cities Ranking

If you don’t mind cooler weather, walking up hills and pricey homes then San Francisco might be the place for you.

Despite being under a million in population, the city has so much to offer… world-class restaurants and museums, fairs and festivals, a larger educated group and an economy that is holding its own.

The ranking came about with Businessweek.com partnering with Bloomberg Rankings which looked at 100 of the largest cities in the country.

There were many factors looked at.  For the individual it cannot be said which is the best city as family, work, lifestyle and sports team connections all factor in.

Some common traits that put San Francisco at the top of the list are as follows:  They scored highest in education, in leisure they placed sixth and it made the top 20 in air quality and economic issues.  The events hosted by San Francisco makes it seem like there is a continual festival going on.  Views which attract about 130,000 tourists every day and its general ambiance intensifies local offerings.

Downsides are that it has one of the largest populations of homeless people in the nation and that rent is over $2000 for… a studio apartment!

Comparison cities are Seattle which came in second, Washington 3rd, New York 7th and LA 50th.

On Wild Rampage, Bloody Naked Man Chews Woman’s Head

Hawley, Pennsylvania.  State Police report a Doylestown man, while naked and bleeding excessively, was “screaming like an animal” and was “gnawing” on a woman’s head.

The incident occurred early September 7th in Hawley Boro, Pennsylvania.

The suspect Richard Ciminio is 20 years old.

According to investigators, Ciminio unsuccessfully tried to break into a home while dressed only in underwear.  After his first attempt, he then stripped down completely and succeeded in breaking into another home.

While in the property, he jumped out of a second floor window which led to his many injuries.  Apparently unfazed, he continued down the street where he approached two women walking.  Again, according to reports, Ciminio “tackled” one women and “began to gnaw” on her head “while screaming like an animal”.

Upon Police and medic arrival it was reported that Ciminio’s “delusional and confrontational behavior” did not stop, despite being tasered.

According to the investigators, they are not sure if anything caused Ciminio’s behavior.

This report is eerily similar to a Florida story earlier this year.
