Bolton Under Media Attack for
Resisting U.N. Push for Global Taxes
WASHINGTON ?
Accuracy in Media today accused U.N. supporters and the media of
orchestrating a campaign to force the Bush Administration to go along with a
pro-world government agenda at next month?s ?World Summit? in New York. As part
of the campaign, major media organizations are depicting new U.S. Ambassador to
the U.N. John Bolton as someone obstructing the ?progress? of the international
community because he is objecting to portions of a proposed summit document.
?What the media
have carefully concealed,? explains Accuracy in Media (AIM) editor
Cliff Kincaid, ?is the fact that the proposed summit document would put
the U.S. on record in support of global taxes on the American people.? Kincaid
said that a French proposal, targeted for elimination by Bolton, would impose an
international tax on airline travel.
The main players in
the new anti-Bolton campaign are the pro-world government World Federalists, the
Open Society Policy Center of billionaire George Soros, and Ted Turner?s Better
World Campaign. In terms of media, Reuters news service, The New York
Times, and The Washington Post have already opened fire on Bolton.
Most recently, Arianna Huffington and Steven Clemons of the New America
Foundation have joined the campaign, urging the State
Department to bypass Bolton and give in to U.N. demands that the U.S. commit to
hundreds of billions of dollars in new foreign aid spending.
Negotiations on the
document are scheduled to resume Monday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. ?All signs point
to a propaganda blitz on behalf of the U.N. over the next several days as
negotiations on the summit document intensify,? said Kincaid. He added, ?It?s
unfortunate that the major media have reporters at the U.N. who are either too
lazy or too liberal to inform the American people that the document proposes to
loot the American taxpayer through a global tax. They
would rather beat up on Bolton than tell the truth about the U.N.
agenda.?
