By Joan Veon © 2000 WorldNetDaily.com Fifty-five years after the founding of the United Nations in 1945, the heads of state, rulers and princes of this world are coming together to examine both the successes and failures of the United Nations and to dialogue about its future and the pressing need to add a "People's Parliament" or international representative government to its structure. Ten blocks from the United Nations another meeting is being sponsored by the Gorbachev State of the World Forum, which not only mirrors the goals and objectives of the United Nations but is looking to help implement them. The speakers at the State of the World include many heads of United Nations' agencies and commissions, heads of state, spiritual leaders, chief executive officers from major corporations and numerous other global groups. What do these two meetings have in common? Globalization. Globalization has been defined many ways. Basically it is the tearing down of borders between countries. Over the last thirty years, political, economic, trade, electronic, and social barriers have been erased rendering the world one and not separate nation-states, as most people still believe. This was followed by a philosophical change in how the world would be governed. What is happening in New York this week is a merging of all of the various components of globalization which are coming together under a new entity which they call "governance." While they adamantly state it is not world government, the reader will have to determine for his or herself what is true. In 1980 President Reagan started the integration of countries by passing the Depositary Institution Deregulation and Monetary Control Act, also known as the 1980 Deregulation Act which erased laws prohibiting Americans from investing outside the United States and allowing foreigners to invest here. At the same time, the other Group of Seven countries -- Britain, Italy, France, Canada, Japan and Germany were passing similar laws. This resulted not only in a flurry of global and foreign mutual funds investing in countries outside of America, but it created a $2 trillion borderless flow of money, which travels around the world daily looking for the quickest play or highest return. The finances of America are being integrated with the finances of the other countries of the world. This was followed by the end of the Cold War in 1989 and 1990, when communism was able to fall in Russia without one bullet being fired. With its fall, the world became one politically since we are told we have no enemies to fight. In an interview with Jim Garrison, president of the Gorbachev State of the World Forum, he told me that Gorbachev was driven from office when he tried to restructure the Soviet Union by dragging it kicking and screaming into the globalization age. Trade barriers between the countries of the world were eliminated in 1992 when Congress passed the 25,000-page General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs. Borderless trade has given rise to a new powerful actor on the world stage: the transnational corporation which transcends borders. >From a social and environmental standpoint, the United Nations began laying a foundational shift in how the world is governed back in the 1970s when they hosted a series of international conferences on the environment, women's issues, population reduction, food, and housing/cities. Twenty years later, the U.N. revisited these issues with a new set of conferences on the same subjects. The Rio Earth Summit is pivotal. In 1992 the United Nations sponsored the Conference on Environment and Development, called the "Rio Earth Summit." There a very radical environmental agenda was unveiled -- the effects of which are only now being felt and understood by the American people. In Rio the United Nations presented their new environmental philosophy by which the world should be governed which basically points in the direction of world government, i.e. the United Nations as caretaker of the world and its resources. This document known as "Agenda 21" perverts Genesis, Chapter 1, by insisting that the earth has dominance over man instead of man having dominance over the earth. This new philosophy is the worship of mother earth, "Gaia." These ideas now constitute the new way in which the world is being managed. In March 1993, President Clinton announced his program to reinvent the government. He said, "We intend to redesign, to reinvent, to reinvigorate the entire national government." To do this, the administration set up the National Performance Review which said that power needed to be transferred from Congress to the executive branch and the bureaucracy. The new core of our own government is public-private partnerships. A public-private partnership is a partnership (business arrangement which has profit as its goal) between government and business, along with non-governmental organizations who perform the daily chores of the partnership. The word "public" refers to government -- local, county, state, federal, and international levels of government -- while "private" refers to non-governmental groups such as foundations, non-profits, corporations and individuals. For example, when a public-private partnership owns your sewer facility, that asset has just transferred from government (which you used to own) to this new partnership. As a taxpayer, you not only lose an asset but the objective of that partnership changes from service to profit and you become a customer instead of a citizen. In this structure, it is the corporation which is being empowered as they take on "governance" responsibilities which used to be part of government's responsibilities. As power shifts to the deepest pockets (the corporation), the governmental structure of America has changed. All across America public-private partnerships are being established that solidify the government/corporation as ruler. One of the organizations facilitating this change is the National Council for Public-Private Partnerships in Washington, D.C. Interestingly enough, public private partnership has been the focus of the United Nations and was publicly unveiled in 1996 at the Habitat II Conference and has been integrated since that time in future conferences and Programmes of Action. At Al Gore's first Global Conference on Reinventing Government, over a dozen countries came to testify how they were reinventing government -- we are all doing the same thing. Public-private partnerships! What is globalization? It is the blending together of economies, people, laws, politics, monies and social ethics into one. The United Nations has stated that the founders in 1945 set up an open and cooperative system for an international world which has made globalization possible. The United Nations itself is a picture of globalization. When all of the nations of the world formed the U.N., they also allowed it to form on the international level counterparts to their own governmental structure: finance with the International Monetary Fund and World Bank; education with the United Nations Economic, Scientific and Cultural Organization; agriculture with the Food and Agriculture Organization; labor with the International Labor Organization; the Supreme Court with the World Court; and Department of State with the General Assembly. Over the last 55 years, the United States has sent its own representatives from government to sit in plenary sessions and debate global issues of finance, agriculture, trade, food, health, education, and state issues. Our government has increasingly relinquished its power over these areas as it has participated in United Nations deliberations as they have rendered to the United Nations federal authority. The various world leaders who have spoken at the Gorbachev State of the World Forum talk about "new thinking" and "new institutions" which are animated by (public-private) partnerships and new actors. When the Liberty Bell is rung at 9:30 Wednesday morning, Sept. 6, perhaps we had better take note that it has nothing to do with individual nation-states but everything to do with globalization and governance. The Millennium Assembly is not the Constitutional Congress. It signals a major shift in world affairs and in our relationship with our own government. It is the desire of the United Nations Millennium Assembly to provide the citizens of the world with representative government at the international level by erecting a chamber which corresponds to our House of Representatives to augment the Senate which corresponds to the United Nations General Assembly where nation-state legislators meet. By adding a second chamber to the U.N. structure for non-governmental organizations, transnational corporations, spiritual leaders, and others, the United Nations is changing the world order of society. Not since Babylon and Rome has the world been knit together as one. This alone signals a very fundamental change to our Constitution and to our form of government. The Millennium Assembly is the globalization of "representative government," one of the most sacred components of what our Forefathers provided us with. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
