The Demise of the American Middle Class

If you are debating whether or not the American middle class is, in fact, under attack – this article by Tony Allison should answer some of your questions. Ever wonder why it’s getting harder and harder for us to make ends meet? It would be one thing if we were suffering as a result of the normal fluctuations of our economic system. It’s something else entirely if this happens to be a coordinated assault on the American middle class – which you’ve seen me say before – is exactly what is happening.

If you read about the objectives of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) – you’ll get some insight into the goals of the global elite. They cannot gain control of the world if the United States remains a superpower – which is why we read that one of the main goals of the global elite is to reduce the power and influence of the U.S. They have been accomplishing their goals via economic means. It’s been happening slowly over decades – and we’re now seeing the final all-out assault that will result in the financial destruction of our nation.

As I’ve said before – it’s easy to look at this from a worldly viewpoint and be fearful. I am well aware that most people in the world today are just like I was – spiritually immature with no Godly knowledge and wisdom. We see our wealth evaporating – and since we have placed our faith in money and not God – we are fearful. How can we survive without our wealth? The sky is falling and we don’t know what to do.

Now that I view things from God’s viewpoint – not the world’s – I can see clearly what is happening. The sky is not falling. We are seeing firsthand what happens when a nation rejects God’s warnings. Things get serious because they need to get serious. If we don’t turn this ship around and start focusing on what is important – God’s plan for us – our nation will follow its current path to destruction. God is getting our attention – to save us from ourselves.

There are many people sounding an alarm about the economy and what our government is doing to us. The question becomes – when the rubber meets the road – will we stand and fight or will we shrink from the challenge? It’s easy to write about these things – it’s much harder to actually do something about it. Actually doing something requires – faith. If we don’t draw near to our Creator – we will not have the faith to do what will be required. Some of us will be asked to stand in the face of the beasts and proclaim the truth. As a result, some of us will not die from natural causes. Each of must have the faith required to do what our Lord asks us to do – regardless of the consequences. We must stand and not be moved.

The Demise of the Middle Class
Early 1970's an historic turning point

BY TONY ALLISON
December 8, 2008

As the credit crisis deepens and morphs into uncharted waters, a little perspective is necessary on what it is costing, in both dollars and human terms. You may have seen the mind-numbing comparisons with other massive government expenditures of the past. These statistics were inflation-adjusted, courtesy of Jim Bianco of Bianco Research. The credit crisis, with $4.6 trillion committed (and perhaps just getting started) already has cost roughly one trillion dollars more than World War II ($3.6 trillion). The Marshall Plan to rebuild Europe after the war cost a mere $115 billion. The Louisiana Purchase was a ridiculous bargain at $217 billion ($15 billion originally). It appears that the piper has finally arrived to be paid for the unlimited debt creation since 1971 and the middle-class is already tapped out.

Keepers of the American Dream

The American middle-class, the hard-working keepers of the American Dream, has been in distress for 35 years, slowly losing ground and purchasing power. The current credit crisis may prove to be the greatest challenge to the middle-class way of life. Adding astronomical debt to existing debt will not solve our problems.

The first chart below, Median Household Income since 1945, is the one the public sees in the media. It shows household income marching ever upward, a symbol of unbridled American prosperity. The truth is that inflation has made prosperity, especially for middle-class Americans, far more elusive.

Desperation and necessity

The struggles of the American middle-class since 1970 become very clear when looking at the next two charts. Their buying power has plunged when you factor in the massive loss of buying power of the US dollar. Over this 35+ year period, both spouses were forced into the workplace to keep the family afloat. It also explains the massive growth in consumer debt and lack of personal savings. The middle-class was not necessarily acting irresponsibly. It was acting out of desperation and necessity.

Clearly many in the middle-class (and elsewhere) have added debt too recklessly. But prices have inexorably grown faster, year after year, than the growth of real middle-class income. In addition fixed costs for the American family (mortgage costs, insurance, child care, health care, etc.) are much higher as a percentage of income than they were 35 years ago.

Median Income devastated by inflation

Divided by the CPI (which has been understated for decades) the “adjusted” Median Household Income has barely grown at all since 1973. When measured in terms of ounces of gold instead of dollars, median income has plunged. This chart shows median income peaked in 1970, when it would buy 240 ounces of gold. The devastating inflation of the 1970’s sent real median income down to its low in 1980, where it could only buy 29 ounces of gold. One can see the current direction of “real” median income since 2001, and we haven’t even felt the eventual inflationary effects of the credit crisis. As we stand today, the Median Household Income can buy approximately 65 ounces of gold, one of the lower levels since 1945.

Home equity on the decline

One key source to fill the gap of falling wage growth was home equity. Quite simply, Americans have been slowly transferring ownership of their homes to the banking system over the last 50+ years. These figures would look much worse if the roughly 1/3 of homes owned “free and clear” (mostly by seniors) were removed from the data, but you can see the trend is toward less equity and more debt. This is not a sign of a prospering middle-class.




Historic turning point

The availability of easy credit the last two decades was a key mechanism to keep the middle-class above water. Now the easy and available credit is going away, and with it much of the quality of life of the middle-class. The early 1970’s was clearly an historic turning point for millions of Americans. With the 1971 severing of the gold-backed dollar by the Nixon Administration, the fate of the middle class was sealed. Unlimited fiat money creation led to unlimited debt and a rapidly depreciating dollar. Middle-class “real” wage growth would never again keep up with “real” inflation, especially in key areas such as health care and college tuition, which have greatly exceeded the stated rate of inflation.



Do you think the strapped middle-class family feels better when hearing that inflation is “only” 4%, instead of 11.6%, as measured prior to 1983? Not likely. Understated inflation does not help remove the sting of declining purchasing power. It just adds to the confusion and desperation. The pain is still real, even as trust in government continues to decline. With the current world-wide deleveraging, inflation rates are coming down, for the short to medium term. With trillions upon trillions of government debt soon to flood the financial system, inflation will not be gone for long.

Inflation or deflation- middle class loses

Be it a hyperinflationary or deflationary scenario in the coming years, the middle-class will suffer. Either from a massive loss of buying power (hyperinflation) or explosive debt burdens (deflation). Eventually, foreign creditors will likely bolt the dollar for something with more enduring value; i.e. gold. It would be a good idea, whether you are middle class or not, to prepare by accumulating some gold while it is still relatively cheap and somewhat available.

The US dollar has been the global monetary standard since the Bretton Woods Agreement in 1944. Unfortunately, the dollar has not been a good store of value since Nixon severed the dollar’s link to gold in 1971. The Federal Reserve has always functioned as the lender of last resort, and is now becoming the “spender of last resort.” Unprecedented debasing of the US currency could be on our horizon.

Pawns in a chess game

While fulfilling its classic role as the backbone of the American economy, the middle-class also is the unwitting pawn in the complex chess game of global finance and government excess. The problem with being a pawn is that one has no control of the game, or its outcome. Historically, the middle-class is always the group to feel the greatest pain and reap the fewest rewards from the machinations of Wall Street and Washington. The period dead ahead will be no exception. The extraordinary debt levels will only make matters worse.

The middle-class has been under growing pressure for over 30 years, as its purchasing power has been steadily under attack. Things will very likely get worse before we see any light. The middle-class must retrench even further. But it must also search for a store of value as its dollars buy less and less. It is my belief that once the severe de-leveraging is finished, the commodity sector, particularly gold, will serve as that life raft. The struggling middle-class, and everyone else for that matter, will need something to stay afloat if the USS dollar slowly sinks in the murky seas of the global currency markets.

The way forward

Historically, one great quality of America is resilience. It is my sincere hope that out of this crisis will emerge a more rational way forward. I believe the best way forward for our country would be a system of honest money; a new currency backed by gold that would enforce discipline on government spending and allow families to plan and save for their futures. And it might just provide our children and generations unborn their own shot at the American Dream. We owe them that much.

Today’s Markets

The stock markets shot higher for a second straight session Monday as investors bet that President-elect Barack Obama's plans to increase infrastructure spending will help lift the economy back to health. The major market indexes jumped more than 3 percent, and the Dow Jones industrials' nearly 300 point advance gave the blue chips their highest close in a month.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 298.76, or 3.46 percent, to 8,934.18, its highest close since it finished at 9,139.27 on Nov. 5th. The Standard & Poor's 500 index advanced 33.63, or 3.84 percent, to 909.70; and the Nasdaq composite index jumped 62.43, or 4.14 percent, to 1,571.74. It was the ninth advance in 11 sessions for the Dow and the S&P 500.

Oil futures surged 7% Monday, buoyed by expectations that the OPEC oil cartel may deliver a substantial cut in production as well as by U.S. President-elect Barack Obama's pledge of massive new infrastructure investment to revive the economy. Crude oil for January delivery surged $2.90, or 7.1%, to end at $43.71 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Earlier, the contract hit an intraday high of $44.70 a barrel.

Gold and other metals futures rallied Monday, getting a boost from soaring oil prices, weakness in the U.S. dollar and President-elect Barack Obama's pledge of a massive new infrastructure investment to buoy the U.S. economy. Gold for February delivery rose $17.10 to end at $769.30 an ounce on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Bernanke Outlines Steps to Avoid Future Crises

I mentioned in an earlier post that we can get a very good idea of what is being planned by the global elite by paying close attention to articles within mainstream media outlets. The article below is a great example of this – you and I are being told in this article who will oversee (regulate) – and control - the future global financial system.
First of all – we should pay close attention to the audience for Bernanke’s speech. Who was the audience? The Council on Foreign Relations. If you research the CFR – you’ll notice that the goal of this organization is a worldwide global government (search for the CFR and David Rockefeller if you want to know more about their motives). I have links to a couple of videos on the CFR on my website. The CFR has infiltrated mainstream media and has been planning for global government for decades – so it should be no surprise that Bernanke would address this group. What is surprising to me is that they would be so bold as to broadcast this. Again, you and I are dealing with some very arrogant people. They think that you and I have no idea what’s going on – and unfortunately, for the vast majority of the world’s people – they are correct.
Let’s take a look at the comments by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke in the article below.
"The responsibility to use the resulting capital inflows effectively fell primarily on the receiving countries, particularly the United States," Mr. Bernanke said. The "failure" of the U.S. and other big economies to do so "has led to a powerful reversal in investor sentiment and a seizing up of credit markets," he said.
Bernanke is telling us that current credit market problems have been caused by the inability of the U.S. (and other large economies) to manage capital inflows. Is this really what has caused the current global financial crisis? No. As you now know, the current crisis is a direct result of the world’s debt based monetary system – not a result of the management of ‘capital inflows’. Bernanke obviously knows this – he’s using financial language to confuse the lies. What is telling here - is that he never defines ‘effective’ use of capital inflows. No details – just a general statement criticizing our government – that tells us absolutely nothing.
"In the near term, governments around the world must continue to take forceful and, when appropriate, coordinated actions to restore financial market functioning and the flow of credit," Mr. Bernanke said. In the U.S., officials are determined "to ensure that systemically important financial institutions continue to be able to meet their commitments," Mr. Bernanke said.
"Until we stabilize the financial system, a sustainable economic recovery will remain out of reach," he said.
The statement above is a common message we’re hearing a lot lately from global leaders – government stimulus is required to ‘restore’ financial markets and the flow of debt (everyone likes to use the term ‘credit’ because it sounds better than ‘debt’ – but if you’re borrowing money – it’s debt we’re talking about). Can we (U.S.) restore financial/credit markets by borrowing trillions of dollars for government ‘stimulus’ packages? Of course not. We can’t borrow our way out of this mess. Until our monetary system changes – governments of the world can continue their ‘determined’ efforts to support the financial system all they want – it will eventually end with not only the failure of the financial institutions – but will also bring down the governments themselves.
The last sentence above is the most telling. Can we stabilize the financial system? No – we cannot stabilize the financial system under the current monetary system. We’ve reached the end of the line. We can no longer create the amount of debt required to keep the system functioning – it’s going to fail. So – what does this last sentence above tell us? Bernanke is telling us that we will never achieve ‘a sustainable economic recovery’ under this system. Since we’re never going to achieve economic recovery under the current system – what needs to happen? We’ll need a new ‘system’. Take note of his next comments.
“But even as Mr. Bernanke and others focus on stabilizing markets in the short term, he signaled it isn't too early to consider longer-term reforms including -- in the U.S. -- putting responsibility for addressing possible systemic risks with one authority, such as the Fed.
He outlined four steps related to: systemically important and interconnected firms; financial infrastructure; regulation; and addressing systemic risks under one authority.”
Bernanke is recommending that ‘one authority’ should be in charge of addressing systemic risks. Who is he recommending to be this ‘one authority’? The Federal Reserve. Again – who is the Federal Reserve? It is a cartel of private international bankers. Bernanke is telling us that a group of private bankers – not our government - should oversee and regulate the entire financial system. This is your future – a world governed by a ruling elite that controls every aspect of the world’s financial system. They are now telling you this on almost a daily basis. What does the Bible tell us about the end of this age? A deceptive, ruling organization will control a world government and world financial system. The world stands on the edge of the abyss – and few can see the signs – just as the Bible tells us. If there is one, overriding warning we are given in the Bible concerning our times – it is a warning against deception. We are not heeding the warning.
If the quotes above were not enough, Bernanke finishes his speech by reiterating the message.
As for placing responsibility for overall systemic risk with one authority, Mr. Bernanke noted that "some commentators have proposed that the Federal Reserve take on the role of systemic risk authority" while "others have expressed concern that adding this responsibility would overburden the central bank."
Whether the Fed's right for the job depends on how Congress defines the role of the new authority, Mr. Bernanke said.
"As a practical matter, however, effectively identifying and addressing systemic risks would seem to require the involvement of the Federal Reserve in some capacity, even if not in the lead role," he said.
You and I are being prepared for the complete takeover of the world’s financial system by an international cartel of private bankers. They currently run the world’s banking system – and they’re crashing it – in preparation for the next step in the plan. These same people have also infiltrated the world’s governments – so don’t expect our current leaders to offer much resistance. It will take true leaders with honor and courage to overcome this.

Bernanke Outlines Steps to Avoid Future Crises

Wall St. Journal
By BRIAN BLACKSTONE
WASHINGTON -- U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on Tuesday outlined steps he thinks would help avert future financial crises, saying the time for such a longer-term discussion has come even as policy makers address the worst crisis since the 1930s.
In remarks to the Council on Foreign Relations, Mr. Bernanke also issued a mea culpa of sorts for the current global financial crisis on behalf of the U.S. and some other big economies that failed to "prudently" invest the rush of capital inflows that started more than a decade ago.
"The responsibility to use the resulting capital inflows effectively fell primarily on the receiving countries, particularly the United States," Mr. Bernanke said. The "failure" of the U.S. and other big economies to do so "has led to a powerful reversal in investor sentiment and a seizing up of credit markets," he said.
"In the near term, governments around the world must continue to take forceful and, when appropriate, coordinated actions to restore financial market functioning and the flow of credit," Mr. Bernanke said. In the U.S., officials are determined "to ensure that systemically important financial institutions continue to be able to meet their commitments," Mr. Bernanke said.
"Until we stabilize the financial system, a sustainable economic recovery will remain out of reach," he said.
But even as Mr. Bernanke and others focus on stabilizing markets in the short term, he signaled it isn't too early to consider longer-term reforms including -- in the U.S. -- putting responsibility for addressing possible systemic risks with one authority, such as the Fed.
He outlined four steps related to: systemically important and interconnected firms; financial infrastructure; regulation; and addressing systemic risks under one authority.
Referring to big interconnected firms, known as "too big to fail," Mr. Bernanke said "any firm whose failure would pose a systemic risk must receive especially close supervisory oversight of its risk-taking, risk management, and financial condition, and be held to high capital and liquidity standards."
Mr. Bernanke also suggested ways to address the "potential fragility" of money-market mutual funds. "One approach would be to impose tighter restrictions on the instruments in which money market mutual funds can invest, potentially requiring shorter maturities and increased liquidity," Mr. Bernanke said.
"A second approach would be to develop a limited system of insurance for money-market mutual funds that seek to maintain a stable net asset value," he said.
Officials should also consider changes to deposit-insurance funding, Mr. Bernanke said, such as raising reserve ratios in good times to create a buffer that can be drawn on in down times.
As for placing responsibility for overall systemic risk with one authority, Mr. Bernanke noted that "some commentators have proposed that the Federal Reserve take on the role of systemic risk authority" while "others have expressed concern that adding this responsibility would overburden the central bank."
Whether the Fed's right for the job depends on how Congress defines the role of the new authority, Mr. Bernanke said.
"As a practical matter, however, effectively identifying and addressing systemic risks would seem to require the involvement of the Federal Reserve in some capacity, even if not in the lead role," he said.

UN Panel Touts New Global Currency Reserve System

I’ve mentioned a couple of times in recent weeks that global leaders are now telling us that the world’s currency system has become unstable and should be replaced. We’re told that this instability is caused by the current global financial crisis – which is pressuring the value of the world’s reserve currency – the U.S. Dollar (if we also consider the Fed’s recent decision to print another $1.5 trillion dollars – it’s easy to understand the concern). We’re beginning to see these same leaders propose a new global currency to replace the U.S. Dollar as the world’s reserve currency.

It now appears that the United Nations is also proposing that the world move to a new reserve currency (article below). This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone.

I’m not going to go into any additional details about the plans of the global elite – because I don’t really need to convince you myself. I’m going to let the world’s leaders confirm in coming months what I’m telling you. I’m simply going to tell you exactly what is happening and why – and let world events confirm the truth.

This global financial crisis has been orchestrated for one purpose – absolute control of the world’s monetary and economic system. You and I are told things on the surface through mainstream media – while the truth is hidden in the shadows. Here is the truth. Here’s what you and I are going to see in coming months/years:

1. More and more rhetoric from world leaders and global organizations (CFR, United Nations, etc.) touting a new global financial/monetary system that will ‘solve’ the problems inherent in the current system. The current economic ‘problems’ are - unsustainable debt and money growth, deflation, hyper-inflation, etc. – problems that we now know are caused by the current system itself.
2. The world’s existing monetary/economic system will continue to deteriorate and eventually collapse.
3. When the current system collapses – things will become very chaotic for a time. Civil unrest will become much worse across the globe.
4. After the collapse – you and I will quickly see the ‘solution’ appear – a new monetary system with a new global currency.
5. Much of the world will embrace the ‘solution’ – because they do not see or understand the danger (no true biblical knowledge or understanding).
6. Once the global elite institute a new global monetary system with one currency – we’ll begin to then see world leaders speak about joining governments into one interconnected global governing body.
7. We should expect future ‘events’ – similar to September 11, 2001 – false flag operations that will strike fear among the world’s population – and many will agree to give up their freedom for security – falling into Satan’s snare.
8. From the world’s perspective – the new global government will eventually have 10 leaders representing 10 regions of the earth. These leaders will receive their orders and direction from the global elite (the ‘beast out of the earth’ of Revelation chapter 13).
9. There is no way to know a timeframe for the events mentioned above – but I believe our world is about to deteriorate rapidly in the coming months.

So – how can you know what I’m telling you is true? If I’m wrong – then President Obama’s ‘stimulus’ packages will revive the economy. The U.S. recession will end and our economy will begin growing again. The Federal Reserve’s actions will not destroy the value of the dollar and inflation will remain stable. The world’s economy will also recover – and every nation will somehow figure out a way to keep an exponential monetary system functioning in a finite world. There will be no future global currency or global monetary/economic system.

However, if I’m right – then the economy of the United States and the world will collapse in coming months and you will begin to see the things mentioned above. The many government ‘stimulus’ packages will fail to revive the U.S./World economies – while bankrupting the world’s governments. The Federal Reserve’s actions will destroy the value of the dollar and interest rates and inflation will sky-rocket. Our private banking system will fail under the weight of decades of exponential debt growth. We will begin hearing world leaders mention a new ‘system’ to replace the world’s shattered economy - a ‘system’ that will be heavily regulated by the world’s government – eventually leading the world into bondage.

You’ve seen me reference certain quotes or scenes from the movie ‘The Matrix’. The reason is because so many of us are living in a fantasy world very similar to the computer simulation in that movie. In the movie – billions of people live their lives as if they are free – but in reality – they are living in complete bondage – and they don’t know it. You now understand how this is taking place in our world.

“You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inert, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it." –Morpheus (The Matrix)

We want to believe that everything is A-OK in this little fantasy world that we’ve created for ourselves – as if we deserve to be the wealthiest, most powerful nation on Earth. We believe, in the world we’ve created for ourselves, that we are the masters of our universe – that we control what’s going to happen by our strength alone. We want to believe that in this world our leaders will do what’s best for us and we ignore the quiet warnings in our minds telling us something different. What you’ve discovered in this blog is that you’ve been living in a world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you to the Truth.

From a spiritual standpoint – you have probably wondered why God would allow the world’s economy to collapse. It’s a simple answer – much of the world has turned away from Him – and as a result – the world is being tested. His true warriors will emerge – in preparation for the end of this age.

“Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth. I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on him my new name. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” (Revelation 3:10-13)

You’ve probably also wondered how I knew many of these things would happen. I assure you – I could not have understood these things on my own nor could I have done these things on my own. For the first 34 years of my life, my focus was elsewhere – my focus was on myself and my world. I was living in the Matrix. We like to proclaim the same message as Agent Smith in the movie – and if we never change – we will suffer the same fate as him.
“This is my world! MY WORLD!” –Agent Smith (The Matrix Revolutions)
In May of 2005, the Lord called to me, asked me to give up my worldly pursuits and follow Him. I took a brief look at my life and the world around me – and I dropped my selfish pursuits – walked away from the world - and started following the Lord. The past four years have been what I would call a spiritual boot camp – as I have learned the Truth about God, His ways, His character, His prophecies – and what His enemy is doing in the world. I am no longer living in the Matrix – I’m now living in the real world – and I can see and understand clearly. If there is one point in the movie that relates to each one of us – it’s the scene below. God offers each one of us the chance to overcome the world and be with Him – and each of us must choose.

"This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill -- the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill -- you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes." –Morpheus (The Matrix)

With all of the information you have been given on this blog - you have now been armed with the knowledge to see through Satan’s lies. Get yourself ready – our battle is just beginning.

"There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path." -Morpheus (The Matrix)

UN Panel Touts New Global Currency Reserve System
AFP 2008
Mar 26 04:09 PM US/Eastern

A UN panel of expert economists pressed Thursday for a new global currency reserve scheme to replace the volatile, dollar-based system and for coordinated steps by rich countries to stimulate their economies.
"A new Global Reserve System -- what may be viewed as a greatly expanded SDR (Special Drawing Rights), with regular or cyclically adjusted emissions calibrated to the size of reserve accumulations, could contribute to global stability, economic strength and global equity," the panel said.
As part of several recommendations to tackle the global financial crisis, the panel also noted recovery would require all developed countries, in the short term, to take "strong, coordinated and effective actions to stimulate their economies."
And it stressed the need to "lay the basis for the long-run reforms that will be necessary if we are to have a more stable and more prosperous global economy and avoid future global crises."
The commission, led by US economist Joseph Stiglitz, a frequent critic of globalization and unbridled free markets, is primarily aimed at finding solutions for developing countries.
On the monetary front, Stiglitz, the 2001 Nobel economics laureate, told a press conference here there was "a growing consensus that there are problems with the dollar reserve system.
He noted that such a system was "relatively volatile, deflationary, unstable and (had) inequity associated with it."
"Developing countries are lending the United States trillions dollars at almost zero interest rates when they have huge needs themselves," Stiglitz noted. "It's indicative of the nature of the problem. It's a net transfer, in a sense, to the United States, a form of foreign aid."
This week, China's central bank chief Zhou Xiaochuan suggested the dollar could be replaced as a reserve currency by an International Monetary Fund (IMF) basket comprising dollars, euros, sterling and yen, saying it would not be easily influenced by individual countries.
But the UN panel warned that a two (or three) country reserve system "may be equally unstable."
It said a new Global Reserve "is feasible, non-inflationary and could be easily implemented, including in ways which mitigate the difficulties caused by asymmetric adjustment between surplus and deficit countries."
Stiglitz said his panel's experts were currently trying "to lay out the conceptual framework of how this might be done."
The issue of the world currency reserve is expected to be raised at the April 2 summit of the G20 club of developed and emerging economies.
On Wednesday IMF managing director Dominique Strauss-Kahn said that talks on a new global reserve currency to replace the US dollar were "legitimate" and could take place "in the coming months."
But US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner earlier defended the dollar as a key global reserve currency.
"I think the dollar remains the world's standard reserve currency, I think that's likely to continue for a long period of time," he said.
Among other recommendations, the Stiglitz panel proposed western aid to help developing nations out of the crisis, better market regulation, a reform of central bank practices and of international financial institutions, as well as the creation of a new structure such as a United Nations economic council.
It specifically called for immediate, additional funding for developing countries "just to offset the imbalances and inequities created by the massive stimulus and bail-out measures introduced by advanced industrialized countries."
It said the funds could come through the issuance of SDRs approved by the IMF board in 1997.
SDRs are an international reserve asset, created by the IMF in 1969 to supplement the existing official reserves of member countries and support the Bretton Woods fixed exchange rate system.
They are allocated to member countries in proportion to their IMF quotas.

Books & Quotes by the Global Elite

If you’ve read through the posts on this blog and are still not convinced that a world-wide conspiracy exists – maybe the information below will help you understand. You’ve seen me describe the members of this conspiracy and what they are trying to do. You’ve also seen me list many articles and videos published by mainstream media (newspapers, magazines, CNN, etc.) that are telling us exactly what is planned for our future. What I haven’t discussed – are the books written by the global elite that push a global government agenda.

While reading the Atlanta Journal-Constitution this morning I reviewed the section of the paper that briefly describes new and noteworthy books. Typically, this section includes both fiction and non-fiction. Each Sunday I will normally scan this section to see what everyone is reading, books that are popular, etc. Today, as I scanned through the list, one particular book caught my eye. In between books on the internet and poetry – was a book written by Strobe Talbott. You are probably wondering – who is Stobe Talbott? Mr. Talbott’s biggest claim to fame is that he was the Deputy Secretary of State from 1994 to 2001 while Bill Clinton was President. You might now be thinking – big deal. I would agree except that he is a member of a few organizations that you’ve seen me mention before. If you dig a little deeper into Mr. Talbott’s past – you’ll find that he is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the Trilateral Commission and is also a member of the Skull & Bones secret society at Yale. If you’ve read my other posts – then you know that each of these organizations is secretly working to create a global government. If the fact that many of our current leaders are members of these organizations doesn’t bother you – then maybe the books that they’ve written or the things that they’ve said will change your mind.

Let’s start with Mr. Talbott’s recent book published in 2008 - “The Great Experiment: The Story of Ancient Empires, Modern States, and the Quest for a Global Nation”. It has recently been updated with a new conclusion entitled ‘Yes, We must’. You don’t need to read the book to understand what is being advocated by Mr. Talbott.




Here’s the write-up from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:

“The great experiment, Talbott says, is global governance, and he traces it from ancient times up to the present. He believes that we are heading toward ‘an international system that is far more cohesive’ and ‘far more effective than the one we have today.’”
So – we see that one of our highest ranking diplomats during the Clinton administration supports a global government over nation-states. If you’ve never studied the global elite – it would seem very strange that a high ranking U.S. official would be more concerned with a global government than the well-being of the United States. Why would the Deputy Secretary of State of the United States advocate a global government – and in effect, the eventual fall of the United States of America as a sovereign nation? He’s not saying this outright, but it’s impossible to have a strong and sovereign United States and also have a global government. He’s doing this because he is intimately involved with both the downfall of the United States and the creation of the coming New World Order. Not convinced? The following quote is also attributed to Mr. Talbott and should alleviate any doubt about what he supports:

“Here is one optimist's reason for believing unity will prevail ... within the next hundred years ... nationhood as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. A phrase briefly fashionable in the mid-20th century -- 'citizen of the world' -- will have assumed real meaning by the end of the 21st. All countries are basically social arrangements, accommodations to changing circumstances. No matter how permanent and even sacred they may seem at any one time, in fact they are all artificial and temporary.”-Strobe Talbott (Time, July 20, 1992)
Does the phrase ‘citizen of the world’ sound familiar? It should – Barack Obama used this phrase during a trip to Berlin during his campaign in the summer of 2008.

"I come to Berlin as so many of my countrymen have come before, although tonight, I speak to you not as a candidate for president, but as a citizen -- a proud citizen of the United States, and a fellow citizen of the world" – Barack Obama

It seemed a strange thing to say at the time – but if you study the global elite and how they deceive the world – you begin to understand that there is a method to the madness.

Has anyone else used the term ‘citizen of the world’? It appears that Barack Obama is not the first President to utter these words.

“Identifying himself as a "citizen of the world," he [Bill Clinton] repeatedly called for an "integrated global community," which would result if all join together "to make the United Nations a more meaningful, more powerful, more effective institution." (Bill Clinton in a speech in Blackpool, England - The New American, November 2002)
Ronald Reagan even called himself "a citizen of the United States and of the world" during a speech in 1982 before the United Nations General Assembly.When it comes to deception of the world’s population – you can see how a message is broadcast throughout the world by world leaders and major media outlets. If someone were to ask you about your citizenship, would you respond ‘I am a citizen of the world’? Of course not. As an American – I would respond that I am an American – and that I will protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. It would never occur to me to say that I am a citizen of the world – because I am not a citizen of the world. I do not protect and defend every nation – nor do I defend the plans for a world government. If you are from another nation – you would respond that you are a citizen of Britain – or France, or Germany, etc. It is not natural for us to consider ourselves as ‘citizens of the world’ because we have grown-up in a system of nation-states. The global elite would like to change this – of course – so we hear world leaders speak the message of a world citizenry – over and over again.

We have seen the same type of message as it relates to the current global economic recession. In recent months, many world leaders have advocated a new global economic/monetary system due to the current crisis – and this message has been broadcast all over the world. If you know what to look for – it’s not very hard to see what is being planned.

Let’s now take a look at a few quotes attributed to U.S. and world leaders:

"Global governance is here, here to stay, and, driven by economic and environmental globalization, global governance will inevitably expand." (Gustav Speth, who served on Bill Clinton's transition team before being appointed to head the U.N. Development program, 1997)

"[The war in Iraq is] a rare opportunity to move toward an historic period of cooperation. Out of these troubled times...a New World Order can emerge." –George H.W. Bush

"Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the U.S., in the field of commerce and manufacturing, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it." –Woodrow Wilson

"It is ironical that the only nation which affirmatively expresses a dependence upon and belief in Almighty God in its birth certificate, should now be in mortal combat for its very existence with a godless conspiracy intent upon conquering the world, and reverting human society to the hazards and indignities of the Dark Ages." (Loyd Wright – Former President of the American Bar Association, 1961)

"The sovereignty fetish is still so strong in the public mind,that there would appear to be little chance of winning popular assent toAmerican membership in anything approaching a super-state organization.Much will depend on the kind of approach which is used in furtherpopular education." (Council on Foreign Relations, 1944)

"We can't be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans..." (Bill Clinton, Press Conference on March 1, 1993)

"It cannot happen without U.S. participation, as we are the most significant single component. Yes, there will be a New World Order, and it will force the United States to change its perceptions." (Henry Kissinger)

"This present window of opportunity, during which a truly peaceful and interdependent world order might be built, will not be open for too long - We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order." (David Rockefeller - 1994)

"After the insiders have established the United Socialist States of America (in fact if not in name), the next step is the Great Merger of all nations of the world into a dictatorial world government. … The Insiders’ code word for the world superstate is “new world order,” a phrase often used by Richard Nixon. The Council on Foreign Relations states in its Study No. 7: “The U.S. must strive to: A. BUILD A NEW INTERNATIONAL ORDER.” (Gary Allen, Author)

“The road to tyranny, we must never forget, begins with the destruction of the truth.” (Bill Clinton)

“There are a lot of very brilliant people who believe that the nation-state is fast becoming a relic of the past.” (Bill Clinton, 1997)

“If the personal freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution inhibit the government's ability to govern the people, we should look to limit those guarantees.” (Bill Clinton, 1993)

"For you see, the world is governed by very different personagesfrom what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes." (Benjamin Disraeli, Former British Prime Minister)

“…..the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards aworld government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual eliteand world bankers is surely preferable to the nationalauto-determination practiced in past centuries." (David Rockefeller, 1991)

“The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government of the U.S. since the days of Andrew Jackson. History depicts Andrew Jackson as the last truly honorable and incorruptible American president.” (Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1933)

"The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But underthe name of 'liberalism' they will adopt every fragment of the Socialistprogram, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, withoutknowing how it happened." (Norman Thomas, U.S. Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party of America, 1948)

"We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it.The only question is whether World Government will be achievedby conquest or consent." (James Paul Warburg, Chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, 1950)
When I first began to study how the global elite were conspiring to form a world government – I didn’t want to believe it. I set out to prove this big ‘conspiracy’ was simply a theory – not supported by facts. I figured that after a few days, I would find what I was looking for (proof that it didn’t exist) and then move on with my life. What I found was astonishing. What began as a few days of reading – expanded into months of research.

Eventually, I turned my focus to the Bible for the truth. I figured that if this world-wide conspiracy was truly as big as it appeared to be – that the Bible’s prophecies about a future world government would certainly give us a clue as to how it was formed. As I studied and prayed about the prophecies in Revelation – it became clear what the Lord’s prophecies were describing. We are told – very clearly – that the coming world government is formed by conspiracy and deception.

How does the Lord describe the people behind the formation of the world government?

“Then I saw another beast, coming out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon.” (Revelation 13:11)

They represent kindness, gentleness and would appear harmless. They would appear to act in the world’s best interests. What is the true nature of these people? They are evil – and their actions are evil.

Do they deceive the world’s population? Absolutely.

“…..he deceived the inhabitants of the earth.” (Revelation 13:14)

These are the people that eventually institute an evil spiritual ‘mark’ – that will allow or deny access to the world’s financial system. Is deception involved with this ‘mark’? Again – the answer is yes.

“…..he deceived those who received the mark of the beast…..” (Revelation 19:20)

So – we see that the Bible tells us clearly that the people behind the formation of a world government are evil and they are very deceptive. They deceive the world.

I found that these verses (and others) confirmed the conspiracy happening today regarding world government – but another thought occurred to me. Did Jesus mention deception regarding our times? Matthew chapter 24 provided my answer. This chapter begins with His disciples asking about His return and the end of this age. How does Jesus respond?

“And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you.” (Matthew 24:4)

“Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.” (Matthew 24:11)

“For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.” (Matthew 24:24)

We see that Jesus also warns us about deception – more than once. We should also take special note of the phrase ‘even the elect’ of verse 24. What is Jesus telling us here? He’s telling us that even his own teachers and disciples are deceived by people in the world. It doesn’t get more deceptive than this.

Think about what is happening in the world today regarding the world’s economy. We’re told by world financial and political leaders that the cause of this current crisis relates to subprime mortgages, financial derivatives, etc. What is the real cause? If you’ve read my previous articles on the world’s monetary system – then you know that all of the problems we see today with the world’s economy are simply symptoms of a disease. The disease causing all of our problems is our monetary system. Who created this system? The same people who are lying to us about the causes of the crisis. What are they recommending now to solve the problem? Central Bank (printing vast amounts of money) and government ‘stimulus’ packages (resulting in enormous budget deficits). What is the end result of these ‘stimulus’ packages? Not only will this system bankrupt private individuals and corporations – it will bankrupt governments as well.

We see that many of the world’s financial and political leaders are proposing solutions that will not only not fix our economic problems – they will accelerate our collapse. So – we see world leaders telling us they are helping – but the truth is – they are causing a worldwide economic collapse. In the same breath as they tell us that they are doing everything possible to help us – they also mention the need for a new, heavily regulated global financial system. You have to admit – it would appear that they are talking to us as if they were lambs (acting in our best interests) – but their actions are much more dragon-like. Somewhat eye-opening – don’t you think?

As we contemplate how to stand against this beast, keep in mind that Jesus tells us we must always remain as innocent as doves – yet be shrewd as snakes. If you want to join the battle – you better have a good knowledge of what the snakes are doing.

“I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.” (Matthew 10:16)

A History of the New World Order

A Chronological History of the New World Order

Below is a brief history of the New World Order by Dr. Cuddy. Excellent research that shows you how the global elite have moved their plans forward over the past 100 years.

Here’s a brief list of some of the world’s political and financial leaders who have spoken of and/or supported world government and the New World Order:

Franklin D. Roosevelt
Richard Nixon
Bill Clinton
George H.W. Bush
David Rockefeller
John Foster Dulles (U.S. Secretary of State)
Harry Truman
Glen Taylor (U.S. Senator)
Alexander Wiley (U.S. Senator)
James P. Warburg
H. Rowan Gaither (President – Ford Foundation)
William Jenner (U.S. Senator)
Dwight Eisenhower
Nelson Rockefeller
J. William Fulbright (U.S. Senator)
Jimmy Carter
Chester Ward (Navy Admiral and Judge Advocate General of the U.S. Navy)
Strobe Talbott (U.S. Deputy Secretary of State)
George Ball (U.S. Under-Secretary of State)
Mikhail Gorbachev
Stansfield Turner (CIA Director)
Boutros-Boutros Ghali (U.N. Secretary General)
Henry Kissinger

…and the list goes on and on.

I believe historian Arnold Toyee best sums up their method of operation.

"We are at present working discreetly with all our might to wrest this mysterious force called sovereignty out of the clutches of the local nation states of the world. All the time we are denying with our lips what we are doing with our hands...."

What are they telling us about the current economic crisis? They are doing everything they can to help us. What are they actually doing? Destroying our economy so that we will willingly accept the New World Order. Deception….deception….deception.

Never forget – Satan does not play fair. Never has – never will.

Fortunately for us – God gave our nation wise founders. Their wisdom in writing our Constitution has bought us time. Will we act before time runs out?

"The framers of the U.S. constitution have simply been too shrewd for us. They have outwitted us. They designed separate institutions that cannot be unified by mechanical linkages, frail bridges, tinkering. If we are to 'turn the Founders upside down' -- we must directly confront the constitutional structure they erected."- James McGregor (Author) 1984

A CHRONOLOGICAL HISTORY OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER

by D.L. Cuddy, Ph.D.

Arranged and Edited by John Loeffler

In the mainline media, those who adhere to the position that there is some kind of "conspiracy" pushing us towards a world government are virulently ridiculed. The standard attack maintains that the so-called "New World Order" is the product of turn-of-the-century, right-wing, bigoted, anti-semitic racists acting in the tradition of the long-debunked Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, now promulgated by some Militias and other right-wing hate groups.

The historical record does not support that position to any large degree but it has become the mantra of the socialist left and their cronies, the media.

The term "New World Order" has been used thousands of times in this century by proponents in high places of federalized world government. Some of those involved in this collaboration to achieve world order have been Jewish. The preponderance are not, so it most definitely is not a Jewish agenda.

For years, leaders in education, industry, the media, banking, etc., have promoted those with the same Weltanschauung (world view) as theirs. Of course, someone might say that just because individuals promote their friends doesn't constitute a conspiracy. That's true in the usual sense. However, it does represent an "open conspiracy," as described by noted Fabian Socialist H.G. Wells in The Open Conspiracy: Blue Prints for a World Revolution (1928).

In 1913, prior to the passage of the Federal Reserve Act President Wilson's The New Freedom was published, in which he revealed:

"Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the U. S., in the field of commerce and manufacturing, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it."

On November 21, 1933, President Franklin Roosevelt wrote a letter to Col. Edward Mandell House, President Woodrow Wilson's close advisor:

"The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the Government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson... "

That there is such a thing as a cabal of power brokers who control government behind the scenes has been detailed several times in this century by credible sources. Professor Carroll Quigley was Bill Clinton's mentor at Georgetown University. President Clinton has publicly paid homage to the influence Professor Quigley had on his life. In Quigley's magnum opus Tragedy and Hope (1966), he states:

"There does exist and has existed for a generation, an international ... network which operates, to some extent, in the way the radical right believes the Communists act. In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table Groups, has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any other groups and frequently does so. I know of the operations of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960s, to examine its papers and secret records. I have no aversion to it or to most of its aims and have, for much of my life, been close to it and to many of its instruments. I have objected, both in the past and recently, to a few of its policies... but in general my chief difference of opinion is that it wishes to remain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant enough to be known."

Even talk show host Rush Limbaugh, an outspoken critic of anyone claiming a push for global government, said on his February 7, 1995 program:

"You see, if you amount to anything in Washington these days, it is because you have been plucked or handpicked from an Ivy League school -- Harvard, Yale, Kennedy School of Government -- you've shown an aptitude to be a good Ivy League type, and so you're plucked so-to-speak, and you are assigned success. You are assigned a certain role in government somewhere, and then your success is monitored and tracked, and you go where the pluckers and the handpickers can put you."

On May 4, 1993, Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) president Leslie Gelb said on The Charlie Rose Show that:

"... you [Charlie Rose] had me on [before] to talk about the New World Order! I talk about it all the time. It's one world now. The Council [CFR] can find, nurture, and begin to put people in the kinds of jobs this country needs. And that's going to be one of the major enterprises of the Council under me."

Previous CFR chairman, John J. McCloy (1953-70), actually said they have been doing this since the 1940s (and before).

The thrust towards global government can be well-documented but at the end of the twentieth century it does not look like a traditional conspiracy in the usual sense of a secret cabal of evil men meeting clandestinely behind closed doors. Rather, it is a "networking" of like-minded individuals in high places to achieve a common goal, as described in Marilyn Ferguson's 1980 insider classic, The Aquarian Conspiracy.

Perhaps the best way to relate this would be a brief history of the New World Order, not in our words but in the words of those who have been striving to make it real.

1912 -- Colonel Edward M. House, a close advisor of President Woodrow Wilson, publishes Phillip Dru: Administrator in which he promotes "socialism as dreamed of by Karl Marx."

1913 -- The Federal Reserve (neither federal nor a reserve) is created. It was planned at a secret meeting in 1910 on Jekyl Island, Georgia by a group of bankers and politicians, including Col. House. This transferred the power to create money from the American government to a private group of bankers. It is probably the largest generator of debt in the world.

May 30, 1919 -- Prominent British and American personalities establish the Royal Institute of International Affairs in England and the Institute of International Affairs in the U.S. at a meeting arranged by Col. House attended by various Fabian socialists, including noted economist John Maynard Keynes. Two years later, Col. House reorganizes the Institute of International Affairs into the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).

December 15, 1922 -- The CFR endorses World Government in its magazine Foreign Affairs. Author Philip Kerr, states:

"Obviously there is going to be no peace or prosperity for mankind as long as [the earth] remains divided into 50 or 60 independent states until some kind of international system is created... The real problem today is that of the world government."

1928 -- The Open Conspiracy: Blue Prints for a World Revolution by H.G. Wells is published. A former Fabian Socialist, Wells writes:

"The political world of the ... Open Conspiracy must weaken, efface, incorporate and supersede existing governments... The Open Conspiracy is the natural inheritor of socialist and communist enthusiasms; it may be in control of Moscow before it is in control of New York... The character of the Open Conspiracy will now be plainly displayed... It will be a world religion."

1931 -- Students at the Lenin School of Political Warfare in Moscow are taught:

"One day we shall start to spread the most theatrical peace movement the world has ever seen. The capitalist countries, stupid and decadent ... will fall into the trap offered by the possibility of making new friends. Our day will come in 30 years or so... The bourgeoisie must be lulled into a false sense of security."

1931 -- In a speech to the Institute for the Study of International Affairs at Copenhagen) historian Arnold Toyee said:

"We are at present working discreetly with all our might to wrest this mysterious force called sovereignty out of the clutches of the local nation states of the world. All the time we are denying with our lips what we are doing with our hands...."

1932 -- New books are published urging World Order:

Toward Soviet America by William Z. Foster. Head of the Communist Party USA, Foster indicates that a National Department of Education would be one of the means used to develop a new socialist society in the U.S.

The New World Order by F.S. Marvin, describing the League of Nations as the first attempt at a New World Order. Marvin says, "nationality must rank below the claims of mankind as a whole."

Dare the School Build a New Social Order? is published. Educator author George Counts asserts that:

"... the teachers should deliberately reach for power and then make the most of their conquest" in order to "influence the social attitudes, ideals and behavior of the coming generation... The growth of science and technology has carried us into a new age where ignorance must be replaced by knowledge, competition by cooperation, trust in Providence by careful planning and private capitalism by some form of social economy."

1933 -- The first Humanist Manifesto is published. Co-author John Dewey, the noted philosopher and educator, calls for a synthesizing of all religions and "a socialized and cooperative economic order." Co-signer C.F. Potter said in 1930:

"Education is thus a most powerful ally of humanism, and every American public school is a school of humanism. What can the theistic Sunday schools, meeting for an hour once a week, teaching only a fraction of the children, do to stem the tide of a five-day program of humanistic teaching?"

1933 -- The Shape of Things to Come by H.G. Wells is published. Wells predicts a second world war around 1940, originating from a German-Polish dispute. After 1945 there would be an increasing lack of public safety in "criminally infected" areas. The plan for the "Modern World-State" would succeed on its third attempt (about 1980), and come out of something that occurred in Basra, Iraq. The book also states,

"Although world government had been plainly coming for some years, although it had been endlessly feared and murmured against, it found no opposition prepared anywhere."

1934 -- The Externalization of the Hierarchy by Alice A. Bailey is published. Bailey is an occultist, whose works are channeled from a spirit guide, the Tibetan Master [demon spirit] Djwahl Kuhl. Bailey uses the phrase "points of light" in connection with a "New Group of World Servers" and claims that 1934 marks the beginning of "the organizing of the men and women... group work of a new order... [with] progress defined by service... the world of the Brotherhood... the Forces of Light... [and] out of the spoliation of all existing culture and civilization, the new world order must be built."

The book is published by the Lucis Trust, incorporated originally in New York as the Lucifer Publishing Company. Lucis Trust is a United Nations NGO and has been a major player at the recent U.N. summits. Later Assistant Secretary General of the U.N. Robert Mueller would credit the creation of his World Core Curriculum for education to the underlying teachings of Djwahl Kuhl via Alice Bailey's writings on the subject.

1932 -- Plan for Peace by American Birth Control League founder Margaret Sanger (1921) is published. She calls for coercive sterilization, mandatory segregation, and rehabilitative concentration camps for all "dysgenic stocks" including Blacks, Hispanics, American Indians and Catholics.

October 28, 1939 -- In an address by John Foster Dulles, later U.S. Secretary of State, he proposes that America lead the transition to a new order of less independent, semi-sovereign states bound together by a league or federal union.

1939 -- New World Order by H. G. Wells proposes a collectivist one-world state"' or "new world order" comprised of "socialist democracies." He advocates "universal conscription for service" and declares that "nationalist individualism... is the world's disease." He continues:

"The manifest necessity for some collective world control to eliminate warfare and the less generally admitted necessity for a collective control of the economic and biological life of mankind, are aspects of one and the same process." He proposes that this be accomplished through "universal law" and propaganda (or education)."

1940 -- The New World Order is published by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and contains a select list of references on regional and world federation, together with some special plans for world order after the war.

December 12, 1940 -- In The Congressional Record an article entitled A New World Order John G. Alexander calls for a world federation.

1942 -- The leftist Institute of Pacific Relations publishes Post War Worlds by P.E. Corbett:

"World government is the ultimate aim... It must be recognized that the law of nations takes precedence over national law... The process will have to be assisted by the deletion of the nationalistic material employed in educational textbooks and its replacement by material explaining the benefits of wiser association."

June 28, 1945 -- President Truman endorses world government in a speech:

"It will be just as easy for nations to get along in a republic of the world as it is for us to get along in a republic of the United States."

October 24, 1945 -- The United Nations Charter becomes effective. Also on October 24, Senator Glen Taylor (D-Idaho) introduces Senate Resolution 183 calling upon the U.S. Senate to go on record as favoring creation of a world republic including an international police force.

1946 -- Alger Hiss is elected President of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Hiss holds this office until 1949. Early in 1950, he is convicted of perjury and sentenced to prison after a sensational trial and Congressional hearing in which Whittaker Chambers, a former senior editor of Time, testifies that Hiss was a member of his Communist Party cell.

1946 -- The Teacher and World Government by former editor of the NEA Journal (National Education Association) Joy Elmer Morgan is published. He says:

"In the struggle to establish an adequate world government, the teacher... can do much to prepare the hearts and minds of children for global understanding and cooperation... At the very heart of all the agencies which will assure the coming of world government must stand the school, the teacher, and the organized profession."

1947 -- The American Education Fellowship, formerly the Progressive Education Association, organized by John Dewey, calls for the:

"... establishment of a genuine world order, an order in which national sovereignty is subordinate to world authority... "

October, 1947 -- NEA Associate Secretary William Carr writes in the NEA Journal that teachers should:

"... teach about the various proposals that have been made for the strengthening of the United Nations and the establishment of a world citizenship and world government."

1948 -- Walden II by behavioral psychologist B.F. Skinner proposes "a perfect society or new and more perfect order" in which children are reared by the State, rather than by their parents and are trained from birth to demonstrate only desirable behavior and characteristics. Skinner's ideas would be widely implemented by educators in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s as Values Clarification and Outcome Based Education.

July, 1948 -- Britain's Sir Harold Butler, in the CFR's Foreign Affairs, sees "a New World Order" taking shape:

"How far can the life of nations, which for centuries have thought of themselves as distinct and unique, be merged with the life of other nations? How far are they prepared to sacrifice a part of their sovereignty without which there can be no effective economic or political union?... Out of the prevailing confusion a new world is taking shape... which may point the way toward the new order... That will be the beginning of a real United Nations, no longer crippled by a split personality, but held together by a common faith."

1948 -- UNESCO president and Fabian Socialist, Sir Julian Huxley, calls for a radical eugenic policy in UNESCO: Its Purpose and Its Philosophy. He states:

"Thus, even though it is quite true that any radical eugenic policy of controlled human breeding will be for many years politically and psychologically impossible, it will be important for UNESCO to see that the eugenic problem is examined with the greatest care and that the public mind is informed of the issues at stake that much that is now unthinkable may at least become thinkable."

1948 -- The preliminary draft of a World Constitution is published by U.S. educators advocating regional federation on the way toward world federation or government with England incorporated into a European federation.

The Constitution provides for a "World Council" along with a "Chamber of Guardians" to enforce world law. Also included is a "Preamble" calling upon nations to surrender their arms to the world government, and includes the right of this "Federal Republic of the World" to seize private property for federal use.

February 9, 1950 -- The Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee introduces Senate Concurrent Resolution 66 which begins:

"Whereas, in order to achieve universal peace and justice, the present Charter of the United Nations should be changed to provide a true world government constitution."

The resolution was first introduced in the Senate on September 13, 1949 by Senator Glen Taylor (D-Idaho). Senator Alexander Wiley (R-Wisconsin) called it "a consummation devoutly to be wished for" and said, "I understand your proposition is either change the United Nations, or change or create, by a separate convention, a world order." Senator Taylor later stated:

"We would have to sacrifice considerable sovereignty to the world organization to enable them to levy taxes in their own right to support themselves."

"Today the path to total dictatorship in the United States can be laid by strictly legal means, unseen and unheard by the Congress, the President, or the people... outwardly we have a Constitutional government. We have operating within our government and political system, another body representing another form of government, a bureaucratic elite which believes our Constitution is outmoded and is sure that it is the winning side.... All the strange developments in the foreign policy agreements may be traced to this group who are going to make us over to suit their pleasure.... This political action group has its own local political support organizations, its own pressure groups, its own vested interests, its foothold within our government, and its own propaganda apparatus."

"... a large part of what we call 'good teaching' is the teacher's ability to attain affective objectives through challenging the students' fixed beliefs."

His Outcome-Based Education (OBE) method of teaching would first be tried as Mastery Learning in Chicago schools. After five years, Chicago students' test scores had plummeted causing outrage among parents. OBE would leave a trail of wreckage wherever it would be tried and under whatever name it would be used. At the same time, it would become crucial to globalists for overhauling the education system to promote attitude changes among school students.

Thus we look to the development of a system of world law and a world order based upon transnational federal government.... The true revolution is occurring."

April, 1974 -- Former U. S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, Trilateralist and CFR member Richard Gardner's article The Hard Road to World Order is published in the CFR's Foreign Affairs where he states that:

"In my view The Trilateral Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate the four centers of power -- political, monetary, intellectual, and ecclesiastical. All this is to be done in the interest of creating a more peaceful, more productive world community. What the Trilateralists truly intend is the creation of a worldwide economic power superior to the political governments of the nation-states involved. They believe the abundant materialism they propose to create will overwhelm existing differences. As managers and creators of the system they will rule the future."

1984 -- The Power to Lead is published. Author James McGregor Burns admits:

"The framers of the U.S. constitution have simply been too shrewd for us. They have outwitted us.

1988 -- Former Under-secretary of State and CFR member George Ball in a January 24 interview in the New York Times says:

"The Cold War should no longer be the kind of obsessive concern that it is. Neither side is going to attack the other deliberately... If we could internationalize by using the U.N. in conjunction with the Soviet Union, because we now no longer have to fear, in most cases, a Soviet veto, then we could begin to transform the shape of the world and might get the U.N. back to doing something useful... Sooner or later we are going to have to face restructuring our institutions so that they are not confined merely to the nation-states. Start first on a regional and ultimately you could move to a world basis."

I agree that the Party was a force in the country."

September 11, 1990 -- President Bush calls the Gulf War an opportunity for the New World Order. In an address to Congress entitled Toward a New World Order, Mr. Bush says:

The Bilderbergers also exert considerable clout in determining the foreign policies of their respective governments. While at that meeting, David Rockefeller said in a speech:

"We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries."

Now this is a marvelous precedent (to be used in) all countries of the world... "

October 29, 1991 -- David Funderburk, former U. S. Ambassador to Romania, tells a North Carolina audience:

Funderburk served as ambassador in Bucharest from 1981 to 1985, when he resigned in frustration over U.S. support of the oppressive regime of the late Rumanian dictator, Nicolae Ceausescu.

October 30, 1991: -- President Gorbachev at the Middle East Peace Talks in Madrid states:

"We are beginning to see practical support. And this is a very significant sign of the movement towards a new era, a new age... We see both in our country and elsewhere... ghosts of the old thinking... When we rid ourselves of their presence, we will be better able to move toward a new world order... relying on the relevant mechanisms of the United Nations."

July 20, 1992 -- Time magazine publishes The Birth of the Global Nation by Strobe Talbott, Rhodes Scholar, roommate of Bill Clinton at Oxford University, CFR Director, and Trilateralist, in which he writes:

"All countries are basically social arrangements... No matter how permanent or even sacred they may seem at any one time, in fact they are all artificial and temporary... Perhaps national sovereignty wasn't such a great idea after all... But it has taken the events in our own wondrous and terrible century to clinch the case for world government."

As an editor of Time, Talbott defended Clinton during his presidential campaign. He was appointed by President Clinton as the number two person at the State Department behind Secretary of State Warren Christopher, former Trilateralist and former CFR Vice-Chairman and Director. Talbott was confirmed by about two-thirds of the U.S. Senate despite his statement about the unimportance of national sovereignty.

September 29, 1992 -- At a town hall meeting in Los Angeles, Trilateralist and former CFR president Winston Lord delivers a speech titled Changing Our Ways: America and the New World, in which he remarks:

"To a certain extent, we are going to have to yield some of our sovereignty, which will be controversial at home... [Under] the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)... some Americans are going to be hurt as low-wage jobs are taken away."

It is a sense that increasingly finds expression in the gradual expansion of international law... In this setting the significance of the United Nations should be evident and accepted."

1993 -- Strobe Talbott receives the Norman Cousins Global Governance Award for his 1992 Time article, The Birth of the Global Nation and in appreciation for what he has done "for the cause of global governance." President Clinton writes a letter of congratulation which states:

Not only does President Clinton use the specific term, "world government," but he also expressly wishes the WFA "future success" in pursuing world federal government. Talbott proudly accepts the award, but says the WFA should have given it to the other nominee, Mikhail Gorbachev.

July 18, 1993 -- CFR member and Trilateralist Henry Kissinger writes in the Los Angeles Times concerning NAFTA:

"assiduously guarded it [American foreign policy] for the past 50 years... They ascended to power during World War II... This was as it should be. National security and the national interest, they argued must transcend the special interests and passions of the people who make up America... How was this small band of Atlantic-minded internationalists able to triumph ... Eastern internationalists were able to shape and staff the burgeoning foreign policy institutions... As long as the Cold War endured and nuclear Armageddon seemed only a missile away, the public was willing to tolerate such an undemocratic foreign policy making system."

1994 -- In the Human Development Report, published by the UN Development Program, there was a section called "Global Governance For the 21st Century". The administrator for this program was appointed by Bill Clinton. His name is James Gustave Speth. The opening sentence of the report said:

1995 -- The State of the World Forum took place in the fall of this year, sponsored by the Gorbachev Foundation located at the Presidio in San Francisco. Foundation President Jim Garrison chairs the meeting of who's-whos from around the world including Margaret Thatcher, Maurice Strong, George Bush, Mikhail Gorbachev and others. Conversation centers around the oneness of mankind and the coming global government. However, the term "global governance" is now used in place of "new world order" since the latter has become a political liability, being a lightning rod for opponents of global government.

1996 -- The United Nations 420-page report Our Global Neighborhood is published. It outlines a plan for "global governance," calling for an international Conference on Global Governance in 1998 for the purpose of submitting to the world the necessary treaties and agreements for ratification by the year 2000.
