The invisible government: The fight for a socialist (and economically weak) America

Dec. 15, 2008 - Wes Vernon points to the work of multibillionaire Gorge Soros to influence politics and possibly even to cause financial chaos. Soros is a socialist who has apparently created a secret party within the ranks of the Democrat Party.

Former radicals David Horowitz and Richard Poe have exposed Soros's vast secret network of private think tanks, foundations, stealth PACs, and other front groups that have crafted the agenda, the talking points — and most of all, the money — that have driven the Democrat Party's agenda.

And now for a world government

Dec. 9, 2008 - Because there are global warming, global financial problems and a global war on terror, there may be acceptance of the concept of a world government. Jacques Attali, an adviser to President Nicolas Sarkozy of France, says that that the "core of the international financial crisis is that we have global financial markets and no global rule of law".

A "world government" would involve much more than co-operation between nations. It would be an entity with state-like characteristics, backed by a body of laws. The European Union has already set up a continental government for 27 countries, which could be a model.

President-elect Obama is more inclined to global governance than President Bush. He has appointed Susan Rice, one of his closest aides, as America's ambassador to the UN, and given her a seat in the cabinet.

Vatican Cardinal: "A New World Order is Gaining Ground"

Nov. 20, 2008 - Cardinal Stanislaw Rylko, President of the Pontifical Council for the Laity, warned that our generation is creating a new 'world order,' and a 'new man' completely detached from the Judeo-Christian tradition.

According to the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano, the cardinal denounced the "dictatorship of relativism," rampant in Western societies, in which there is a growing "anti-Christian attitude" that makes "attacks on Christians, and particular on Catholics, pass off as politically correct."

Is a World Government on the Horizon?

Dec. 6, 2007 - The United States has resisted signing the United Nation's "Law of the Sea Treaty" for 25 years because opponents say it surrenders our national sovereignty and could be the next step to world government.

The treaty was rejected by President Reagan and signed by President Clinton. At present, 154 nations have accepted the treaty. President Bush is now urging urging the Senate to ratify it.

North American Union leader says merger just crisis away

Kissinger warns of possible "war of civilizations"

Sept 13, 2006 - Former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger warned the U.S. and Europe to move beyond their disagreements over the Iraq war and face the greater threat of a "war of civilizations" that is brewing. This generation is seeing the erosion of respect for national sovereignty. Trans-national groups like Hamas are the real danger, and it will become critical with the rise of a nuclear-armed Middle East. Kissinger said,

"We now know that we face the imperative of building a new world order or potential global catastrophe. It cannot be done alone by either side of the Atlantic. Is that realization sufficient to regenerate a common purpose?"

NAFTA superhighway to mean Mexican drivers, say Teamsters

Aug. 28, 2006 - Teamster magazine's cover story on plans for the NAFTA superhighway warns that the massive corridor will bring tens of thousands of unsafe trucks and drugged drivers into the U.S. It will pose a serious security threat to our country. The plan is to enlarge I-35 so that it that will reach north from the drug capital border town of Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, 1,600 miles to Canada through San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, Kansas City, Minneapolis and Duluth. The superhighway will be 1,200 feet wide with six lanes devoted to cars, four to trucks, with a rail line and utilities in the middle. It will enable transfer of world trade from new Chinese-run ports in Mexico, bypassing the need to enter U.S. ports.

The Emerging Global Community
By Thomas Ice

July 4, 2006 - President Bush has signed a trilateral agreement with Mexico and Canada that will have a profound effect on our future, leading to a North American Union. U.S. citizens will surrender many of our rights and freedoms to this regional government. The agreement, signed in Waco, Texas March 23, 2005 by President Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox and then-Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin, is called Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SSP).

The European Union has already merged in this way, and many observers believe they intend to extend their control gradually over other regional unions, leading to a global government.
