THE END OF FINANCIAL PRIVACY
Over the weekend, UNELECTED representatives from the 34 member OECD (Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development), of which Canada is a member, announced plans for world governments to exchange ALL their citizen's tax and financial data with one another. Doesn't that just give you a warm and fuzzy feeling?

In the very unlikely event that this becomes any kind of a newsworthy issue, it will be 'sold' to the gullible public that it is necessary to do this so that big corrupt multi-nationals run by corrupt tycoons don't abscond with dollars that should be used and enjoyed by the public. 90 percent of the adult population will never hear anything about this, and out of the 10 percent that do, virtually all of them will buy the offered excuse. They won't worry about it at all because they never heard about (or immediately forgot) the seizures from private accounts in Europe.
ReplyDeleteWell, it adds nicely to UN objectives from 1976 (http://habitat.igc.org/vancouver/vp-intr.htm) through 1992 (http://www.green-agenda.com/agenda21.html) and to the present day. The notion of private property is described thus: "Social justice, urban renewal and development, the provision of decent dwellings-and healthy conditions for the people can only be achieved if land is used in the interests of society as a whole." Well, they did that. Now they need your cash too.
DeleteThe MSM is only interested in reporting on the happenings with Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus and Rob Ford.
DeleteWhere this will hit "ordinary" people hard is on a vacation trip to Mexico (only one country on that list of 34)....known for corrupt officials...
When people are detained for possible tax evasion, in their shorts and flip-fops in some 3rd world hell hole, THEY will know who has the ability to pay the bribe to get out of there.
Yes Glengarrian, it's that, but much, much more. It is the ability of a cash-starved, bankrupt government to now what your out-of-country assets are, and to confiscate all or a portion of that if they wish to do so. So the condo in Arizona or the little bungalow you bought on the Yucatan peninsula for your retirement years are no longer the security blankets you might have thought they were.
DeleteLet me re-write that to read 90% (in reference to what Jamie wrote above) of the "ordinary people" will not know what is going on til it bites THEM on the arse.
DeleteFolks that visit here know exactly what is happening!
This will be no different than the creation of the NSA in the United States to monitor terrorist activity...or so they claimed....and as Snowden's revelations revealed everybody is being watched and freedom is being stomped on and slowly and surely being eroded.
Gold, silver, and land. Repeat.
ReplyDeleteand guns and ammo if you want to keep it.
