This one's for you...

Two of ABF's favorite people. They appear in his nightmares on a regular basis. Nacy Pelosi and Maurice Strong.



I should have known there was a connection here, but I honestly had no idea.

Queen of the Democrats Nancy Pelosi will deliver the sovereignty of her own country over to the United Nations. In fact, she’s been working on it since 1992.

and following the money so to speak.... here

The global warming movement began at the 1992 U.N. Earth Summit where its director, Maurice Strong, started with the statement "We must therefore transform our attitudes and values, and adopt a renewed respect for the superior laws of divine nature." Strong subsequently passed several worldwide laws in 1997 known as the Kyoto Accord. In 1994, the U.N. commissioned Strong to write the Earth Covenant that was introduced in 2000 as the Earth Charter. The new edict was written on papyrus paper, placed in a replica of the Ark of the Covenant, ceremoniously ushered into the U.N. and called "the new 10 commandments," a "Global Ethic" that will transcend all religions and countries.

Strangely enough, there is more

A Canadian version of Mr. Soros, the energy tycoon Maurice Strong, who currently operates in China after getting his name dragged into the oil-for-food scandal, also remained influential.

Ever wonder what it is that Maurice is doing now? Wonder no more. He is handing out enviromental travel awards.

The first Awards will be given on the first World Responsible Tourism Day 2007 following a nominations process organized by eTurbo News and participating industry partners. The judging panel organized by Mondial Global Energy (MGe) will be chaired by Maurice Strong, who was Chair of the Rio Earth Summit and will include José Maria Figueres, former President of Costa Rica; Dawid de Villiers the last UNWTO Deputy Secretary General; Jonathan Tourtellot, Director of Sustainable Destinations, National Geographic Society; and Fiona Jeffrey, Managing Director, World Travel Market.

I'm sure ABF will be running out and purchasing a new book that is out... "Best of Intentions: Kofi Annan and the U.N. in the Era of American World Power".

Had Mr. Traub made serious use of this remarkable access, he might have written a real page-turner on the U.N. in crisis. Instead, he has produced "Best of Intentions: Kofi Annan and the U.N. in the Era of American World Power" (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 442 pages, $26), a paean to Mr. Annan, packed with scenes that mingle hagiography with the lingo of an infatuated schoolgirl. In this tale, Kofi Annan figures as a sort of Hamlet of Turtle Bay, a "benevolent renaissance prince," a "gentle soul," and, above all, a victim not of his own failures, cover-ups, and hypocrisies, but of circumstance and conservative critics. Voilà: Mr. Traub has crafted for Mr. Annan, just in time for his retirement next month, the New Legacy.
