IT'S LATER THAN YOU THINK
THE NEW WORLD ORDER IS JUST AROUND THE
CORNER

As America sleeps, globalization is firmly underway. The
simple fact is that the hour is later than most people think
when it comes to the move towards a collective global
nation-state. The European Union is steadily coalescing itself
into a virus-like entity with tentacles that are insinuating
themselves into more and more sociopolitical orifices in both
Europe and the US. We barely grunt at these unsolicited
penetrations as a European governing body which voted itself
into existence, arbitrarily assumes more and more power for
itself, passing so-called "laws" that give it the de-facto
authority to dictate everything from religious expression to
Internet publishing standards for countries that are not even
officially part of its Union! For example, the International
Criminal Court has given ITSELF authority to punish a web
author for "hate crimes" if material on a website, though
legal in the country where it originates and is hosted, is
VIEWED in a country that has legislation prohibiting such
expressions. And we blithely give these groups credibility by
running to them for ever-more expansive rulings regarding
everything from ecological preservation to copyright
violations. Every time we ask for a ruling by the ICC or its
ilk, we establish a ruling that becomes a legal precedent
merely by the fact of its existence. Every time this precedent
is referenced in subsequent rulings (yes, even by our U.S.
Supreme Court!), it gains even more credibility, even though
the original finding was provided by an organization with no
legal right to exist, and no binding legal authority in this
country! |
I was recently privy to a fairly high-level brief by a strategic
military and political planner who spoke of globalization not only
as highly desirable, but as an all but forgone conclusion. Countries
with strong, nationalistic identities were viewed as "old world" and
presented as the enemies of globalization, and thus indirectly,
enemies of the United States. That's right. The United States was
presented by this senior military planner as being at the forefront
of the move towards an interdependent global identity. He spoke of
finding and implementing ways to deal with "system perturbations,"
which were defined as actions by those who won't "get on board" with
globalism. Traditionally this has meant third world countries,
especially those of fundamentalist Muslim foundations. I am not
making this up. In effect, those who oppose globalism are in effect
third-world throwbacks who won't get on board, and so have to be
dealt with. So boil it down to one sound-bite: Under current
political thought at the highest levels, opposition to globalism
equates with terrorism in both the perceived threat and required
response. You read it here first.
I suspect that the move towards globalism is about three or four
steps ahead of where most people, even those who view themselves as
informed, think we are. You can see hints of it in many shapes and
forms. Notice that many phone numbers, especially on widely sold
products, now use a period instead of a dash to separate the numbers
(i.e. - 209.555.1212). This is a European convention that is
quietly, without fanfare and little notice, being widely adopted by
businesses and political institutions. Nearly all operational and
strategic military doctrine and planning hinge on the concept of
"jointness." This is not just joint service commitments, such as
conducting warfare using assets from the Air Force, Navy, Army and
Marines, but also Joint in the aspect of relying on foreign
countries to fill out our force mix. Much planning and thought is
going into how to best operate in a "joint environment" and "joint
theatres of conflict."
Some would say that you can't maintain control over a world
government of such a scale. You can if control is mostly voluntary,
under the color of treaty and international law. Enforced by
economic sanctions and military force. How viable could such a
military be? Western Navies have in their inventory catamaran-hulled
"fast response ships" which can cruise at upwards of 80 knots --
nearly three times as fast as the 25 knots capable by most older
amphibious ships, changing response times from days to mere hours.
They can offload an entire Battalion Landing Team in 20 minutes. The
US is also developing a hypersonic bomber capable of carrying out an
unmanned attack anywhere in the world in two hours. The social,
political, and military resources needed to make the "global
village" work are inexorably being worked into place. Penalties for
opposition and/or noncompliance are being established and given
progressively greater authority and legitimacy by sold-out
politicians who have read the writing on the wall and are working to
secure their place as high up as possible in the new world's command
structure.
Don't be fooled into thinking the the US is some valiant bulwark
against globalism. Our legislative, judicial, and executive branches
are not only greasing the rails, but pouring coals to the locomotive
as well. And here we sit in the dining car, blissfully playing
Canasta while our destiny is decided for us because we care not for
where the train is going, as long as our glass is full and our seat
cushions soft.
