"State Of The World Forum" To Advance "Global Governance" For Everyone
- Aug. 8, 2000 - Mikhail Gorbachev's "State of the World Forum" will meet for several days in September in New York.
- Three main principles drive the State of the World Forum; "ecological sustainability" as opposed
to the "generation of wealth," "global governance" rather than "national sovereignty", and a
"compassionate society" as opposed to the "global flow of capital."
The forum will include many "international heavyweights," including some conservatives, such as Margaret Thatcher, and New Age thinkers such as guru Deepok Chopra.
- It is timed to begin just after the World Peace Summit of religious and spiritual leaders concludes.

'Third Way' gets world hearing
- June 2, 2000 - President Clinton hopes to establish himself as the 'father' of the new political model called the "Third Way" when he addresses leaders of about 12 European countries on Saturday. He has long been an advocate of the global viewpont. It is an attempt to move away from a sterile debate between left and right - between those who favor either the state or the free market doing everything.
- Instead, they are looking towards a new form of
political philosophy that focuses on adapting
economies and societies to the demands and
pressures of globalization.

355,000-acre 'land grab' on fast track
- Apr. 11, 2000 - Without the need for congressional approval, President Clinton is planning to make a proclamation very soon to create a 355,000-acre national monument in Sequoia National Forest. The action, presumably to protect Giant Sequoias, is considered unnecessary by many because there are already laws against cutting them. Hume Lake Christian Camp is in the area, and although they own their own land, they believe that the effect of creating this area of strict government control will eventually curtail their activities and put other Christian campgrounds in the area, which lease their land, out of business.

Buchanan To Attack World Government
- Jan 5, 2000 - Reform Party Presidential Candidate Pat Buchanan will make a major issue of the current trend to surrender national sovereignty in favor of a global governance headed by the U.N.
- He says that we trample on the sovereignty of other nations like Kosovo by injecting troops into their conflicts.
- "If ever sovereignty becomes obsolete, we may expect America's
involvement in endless wars until, one day, we pay a horrific price in some
act of cataclysmic terror on our own soil," Buchanan said. "For
interventionism is the spawning pool of international terror."

Executive Order 13083 replaced with new one
- Aug. 7, 1999 - This article by David Bresnehan describes a new executive order which does not yet have a number, but which replaces the controversial Order 13083 which had been suspended after Congress reviewed its broad increase in federal powers.
- The policy outlined in the new order still broadens the scope of Washington's power, but it does call for consultation with states before assuming new rights and powers. It does, however, have several loopholes that make it possible for new federal authority to be exercised without the agreement of state governments.

Emergency Rule, Abuse of Power?
- July 30, 1999 - As members of Congress become more aware of the potential abuse of power from presidential Executive Orders, various remedies are being proposed. One of these is a suggestion from Ron Paul of Texas:
- Paul has proposed
legislation called the Separation of Powers Restoration Act,
which would provide that whenever the president signs an
executive order under the auspices of Article II it may be
applied only to federal employees, with constitutional duties
such as activities pursuant to the military and his role as
commander in chief protected. Presidential orders issued to
accord with unratified treaties would be illegal, as would orders
to support ratified treaties that violate the laws of states and
local governments.

Bilderberg Delegates Meet In Sintra
- May 6, 1999 - The ultra-secret, ultra-powerful Bilderberg group will meet in June, but don't expect to hear anything about it in the regular news media.
- The agenda for the meeting is said to include a
"globilaztion summit", during which nations which cling
tenaciously to their sovereign identities will be
denounced by its leadership.
The principal feature of Bilderberg is that it seeks one
global government, (a structure similar to the European
Union), while counteracting nationalist sentiment is
supposedly its greatest battle. Renewed calls for the
United Nations to be able to directly tax all people of
the world is said to be another major topic to be tabled
for discussion in Sintra.

Need For Mechanism To Mitigate Unpredictability Of Globalization...
- September 17, 1998 - Long press release from the United Nations about the effect of economic problems worldwide and the need for international laws and controls. An example:
- KOICHI HARAGUCHI, Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs of Japan, said that the most
important trends in the world today were globalization and increasing economic
interdependence, which had become more pronounced as a result of the conclusion of the cold
war. For example, today some $50 billion was transferred around the world every hour, $1.2
trillion every day, $300 trillion every year. Equally important was information technology, he
said, noting that the number of host computers that supported the Internet had grown more than
forty-fold from 1991 to 1997.
Noting that globalization freed people from the constraints imposed by national boundaries, he
said it had also destroyed the balance between the drive to increase efficiency and consideration
for the weak -- or, to put it in more general terms, between freedom and equality. Competition
produced winners and losers in a much harsher manner and enlarged the gap between the poor
and the rich.
Reform Tops Clinton's Agenda
- Sept. 1, 1998 - As Presidents Clinton and Yeltsin meet in Moscow, both men are severely crippled by domestic problems. CBN journalist Dale Hurd says that Clinton's message to Yeltsin is to not give up on the reforms which have been in effect in Russia.
- Bill Clinton arrives with a message that Russia should stay the course of
reform. But it was never reform, some say, because the hard economic
choices were never made. And it wasn't true capitalism, because it didn't
have the rule of law behind it. Some call this period the looting of a
nation, in which a few become billionaires while a nation becomes
destitute. If this is capitalism, many Russians will tell you, then America
can have it.
- The economic woes in Russia have turned the average Russian against the United States and capitalism.

President Clinton In China
- President Clinton has repeatedly called for a world-wide code of human rights and freedom of religion during his China trip. However, he is primarily promoting the concept of equal trade partnership with China, apparently without sanctions from the United States over our differences of opinions.
- Asked if he was hiding a secret agenda to contain China "behind his smile," Clinton said the United States is sincere in its desire for a partnership with China.
- "Do I really want to contain China? The answer is no," he said.
- "I believe it would be far better for the people of the United States to have a partnership on equal respectful terms with China in the 21st century than to have to spend enormous amounts of time and money trying to contain China, because we disagree with what's going on beyond our borders. I do not want that. I am not hiding another design behind a smile," Clinton said to roaring applause from the packed auditorium.
