The Rising Sun of International Government
December 7, 1999
What Japan could not do by bombing Pearl Harbor, today’s
political and commercial elite are quietly accomplishing
without a shot being fired. So successful is their attempt to
globalize the economies and militaries of the world that many
no longer bother to hide it.
In a speech on October 19 to the World Federalist Association,
former CBS broadcaster Walter Cronkite is quoted by the
Washington Times as saying, "It seems to many of us that if we
are to avoid the eventual catastrophic world conflict we must
strengthen the United Nations as a first step toward a world
government patterned after our own government with a
legislature, executive and judiciary, and police to enforce its
international laws and keep the peace.
"To do that, of course, we Americans will have to give up some
of our sovereignty.
"We cannot defer this responsibility to posterity. Time will
not wait. Democracy, civilization itself, is at stake. Within
the next few years we must change the basic structure of our
global community from the present anarchic system … to a new
system governed by a democratic UN federation…. Today, we must
develop federal structures on a global level. We need a system
of enforceable world law – a democratic federal world
government – to deal with world problems."
Cronkite is not alone in his thinking. Deputy Secretary of
State, Strobe Talbott is quoted by Time magazine in an essay
titled "The Birth of the Global Nation" as saying that he is
looking forward to government run by "one global authority."
Talbott went on to say, "… Nationhood as we know it will be
obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global
authority."
Plans for such international government are well under way. The
Los Angeles Times just yesterday ran a story outlining the fact
that the newly created European Union is currently developing a
"rapid-reaction corps" comprised of some 50,000 – 60,000
thousand troops under direct EU control.
The Times states, "The multinational force, roughly the size of
three army divisions, would be on standby for deployment…. It
is not expected to function before 2003, but is already being
hailed by some Europeans as the vanguard of an entirely unified
military…."
On December 4, the Washington Times ran a report stating, "The
United States has resigned itself to the eventual creation … of
a UN International Criminal Court to be modeled after war
crimes tribunals for Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia. Even if
the United States does not ratify the treaty, American citizens
will be subject to arrest and trial as the treaty document is
now drafted."
Add to this the fact that Secretary of Defense, William Cohen
announced that on October 7 a new US Joint Forces Command
became operational. This new command, which replaces the old US
Atlantic Command, eviscerates the Posse Comitatus Act, which
denied the use of federal forces against American civilians,
and permanently establishes a new command unit charged with the
responsibility of sending federal (and international?) forces
against the American citizenry.
Secretary Cohen said, "The American people should not be
concerned about it. They should welcome it."
If that isn’t enough, Kofi Annan, secretary-general of the UN
told the UN General Assembly just a few weeks ago that national
borders will no longer be a deterrent to UN intervention. After
watching NATO’s aggression against the former Yugoslavia, it
would seem Annan is not uttering idle threats.
Through the IMF, the World Bank, the under-construction World
Financial Organization, so-called "free trade" agreements and
organizations like NAFTA, GATT and the WTO, the much-touted
"global economy" is fast becoming global government. The US
Senate is even considering legislation to authorize a study
considering the potential benefits of hiring police officers of
other nations by federal law enforcement agencies, according to
World Net Daily.
It seems clear to me that the presidential election next year
will be more about American sovereignty and independence versus
globalism and internationalism than any other single issue.
Sadly, I find little significant difference on this issue
between the establishment front runners of both parties.
Both Bush and Gore support NAFTA, GATT, the WTO, MFN for Red
China, the entrance of China into the WTO, virtually all
international trade deals, the IMF, the World Bank, ad
infinitum. Neither candidate appears likely to stand against
the UN and its desire to create a socialist New World Order.
Our choice seems to be between a New World Order Republican and
a New World Order Democrat. I choose neither.
I resent the two major parties’ constant compromise of American
sovereignty and independence. I refuse to vote for the "lesser
of two evils" if I’m convinced the lesser evil is still going
to lead my country further down the road to internationalism.
