The United Nations is holding its Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janero, Brazil, over three separate sessions in June, to which organizers, led by UN Conference Secretary-General of Rio+20, Sha Zukang [who 'really doesn't like Americans'], expect 193 attendees from governments, the private sector, NGOs and other stakeholders, according to the Sarah de Sainte Croix March 20, 2012 article in The Rio Times.

More specifically, the debates will cover a
breathtaking array of carbon taxes, transfers of trillions of dollars from wealthy countries to poor ones, and new spending programs to guarantee that populations around the world are protectedfrom the effects of the very programs the world organization wants to implement.
According to Russell, the Obama Administration officials have supported this agenda, which is designed to make dramatic and enormously expensive changes in the way that the world does nearly everythingor, as one of the documents puts it, a fundamental shift in the way we think and act.
According to U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, proposals on how the challenges can and must be addressed, include:
More than $2.1 trillion a year in wealth transfers from rich countries to poorer ones, in the name of fostering green infrastructure
climate adaptation
other green economy measures.
New carbon taxes for industrialized countries [amounting to] about $250 billion a year, or 0.6 percent of [US] GDP by 2020. Other environmental taxes are mentioned, but not specified.
Further unspecified price hikes
derived from agriculture, fisheries, forestry, or other kinds of land and water use [industries], all of which would be radically reorganized[to] contribute to a more level playing field between established, brown technologies and newer, greener ones.
Major global social spending programs, including a social protection floor and social safety nets for the worlds most vulnerable social groups for reasons of equity.
Even more social benefits for those displaced by [this] green economy revolutionsuch as those put out of work in undesirable fossil fuel industries. The benefits, called investments, would include access to nutritious food, health services, education, training and retraining, and unemployment benefits.
A guarantee that if those sweeping benefits werent enough, more would be granted
Any adverse effects of changes in prices of goods and services, vital to the welfare of vulnerable groups, must be compensated for and new livelihood opportunities provided.
Transforming the global economy will require action locally (e.g., through land use planning), at the national level (e.g., through energy-use regulations) and at the international level (e.g., through technology diffusion), the document says.
It involves profound changes in economic systems, in resource efficiency, in the composition of global demand, in production and consumption patterns and a major transformation in public policy-making. It will also require a serious rethinking of lifestyles in developed countries.

This UN doctrine seems to directly channel Marx and Engels scribe of 1848, The Communist Manifesto, wherein its organizational and operational structure appears to largely be a paraphrasical equivalent to the 10 short-term demands Marx prescribed in section II., Proletarians and Communists.
However, instead of the UN overthrowing the capitalist system, it simply wants to tie it to a leash and be subject to the UN
[a] dictatorship of the proletariat, to redistribute wealth around the world to magically elevate the poverty class to the middle class.
The United States, arguably the most fertile and favorable ground for such a massive experiment, has already spent $15 [T]rillion in taxpayer treasure over the past 47 years attempting to circumvent market forces and eliminate povertywith no affect.

Actually, as this directly smacks of the long-discussed UN Agenda 21, America must treat this audacity of the United Nations as a wake up call, and say [last] check pleasethen hit the UN exit doors without delay.
