GLOBALISATION: or how we are all treated like global village idiots

"We shall have world government, whether or not we like it. The question is only whether world government will be achieved by consent or by conquest." James Paul Warburg, Banker and member of the Council on Foreign Relations (Feb. 17, 1950, to the United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations)


Why is Australia being destroyed as a nation in its true sense and being replaced with what Professor Andrew Fraser in an article entitled, Rethinking the White Australia Policy, called "the transnational corporate welfare state [that] has taken on a life of its own, asserting its power and right to recreate the nation and its people in whatever form it chooses"?

To make sense of this conundrum, one must, as a departed but unlamented Prime Minister constantly urged, look at the "big picture". One must look at so called "Globalisation". Although of course the mind-benders have largely succeeded in presenting this as process leading to the best of all possible worlds, if your are taking the time to be reading this you are already fully aware of the inherent danger in believing any more than a minute part of what you are urged to believe by those with an agenda not as well hidden as they would like to believe through their mouthpiece of the mainstream media. It is a small step from this wariness to seeing Globalisation naked, no frills and in all its grotesque evil, which is as the ramp leading to world government.

The popular conception of Globalisation (if it's thought of at all) is that, at some time or other, governments of the world got together with a view to revolutionising world trade so that, as we are constantly told, the smooth streamlining would lead to an economic Shangri-La encompassing the world. Of course governments of the world were content to let sleeping dogs lie and weren't about to disabuse the governed of this stupendous illusion. To do otherwise may have sent other popular illusions toppling like dominoes; illusions such as the smoke and mirrors production that presents national governments as actually being in control of the nations in which they are ensconced.

As we shall see, in the true state of play, national governments have been reduced to little more than pawns on the global chess board, bearing out the sentiment behind the words of one Mayer Rothschild: "I don't care who makes the laws, as long as I control the money." "The money", Mayer knew, would be followed by politicians like birds on a trail of bread crumbs. Or to put it less picturesquely, when a man is clutched firmly by the testicles, the rest of him is sure to follow.

Humans, being humans, the urge to dominate has been around since, well ... since humans became humans. With every incremental step that has led to the marvelous peak of technological achievement we stand on today, the scope for domination has increased. When it was that people began thinking in terms of world domination is unclear, but it's a safe bet that it began around the time that people first began conceiving of a world. It didn't matter that it was flat; the trick was to simply stay away from the edge. Let the boobs in boats worry about that. They'd either drop off or come back. If they came back with news of easy pickings further afield, then it was probably time to gear up for a new round of rape, murder and pillage.

After humans became a little better organised, these opportunities for entrepreneurial activities were much more efficiently exploited. Those trying their hand here include a number of the truly great: Alexander the Great for one. There were also Genghis Khan, Julius Caesar and who could forget Napoleon with his plans for a prototypical European Union? Although never lacking in energy and enthusiasm, the efforts of these early multinationalists were amateurish in comparison with modern day explosions of "the will to power".


Carroll Quigley, a university professor, remembered with fondness and reverence by a former student named Bill Clinton, was a New World Order insider who implicitly believed the virtues, rightness and historical inevitability of the new order was something to shouted from the rooftops. Opting for something a little less physically taxing, he did the next best thing; he produced his monumental work, Tragedy and Hope, lifting the lid on the whole can of writhing worms. Exhibiting breathtaking naivety, he was apparently surprised and not a little disappointed when instead of his magnus opus being appreciated by those he had attempted to colour with glory, his efforts were met with unmistakable disfavour and his book became difficult to obtain.

Eschewing the persistent but difficult to substantiate rumours of dark conspiracies featuring the usual suspects: the Knight Templars, the Illuminati, the Masons, the Jews, Quigley traces genuine efforts at construction of a world government back to the history bending machinations of the inimitable Cecil Rhodes. As a young man, Rhodes was something of a dewy eyed idealist dreaming dreams that would eventually be set to music with John Lennon's Imagine. Whereas most young men's idealism becomes ground between the mills of experience and disillusionment, with Rhodes it stuck, and till the end of his life he believed that evils such as war could be eliminated with the advent of a benevolent world dictatorship. The problem of keeping a dictatorship benevolent - guarding the guardians - didn't seem to trouble him. He had apparently never come across Lord Acton's famous dictum regarding the corrupting influence of power.

It is not difficult to picture Rhodes noting the huge patches of pink on a world map of his time and recognising the already extant superstructure of a truly global empire. If it could be linked to the stirring giant of US power (and belatedly realising the forlorn hope of George the Third of reclaiming the American colony)the result would obviously be a power to be reckoned with.

The thing that kept Rhodes just outside of rampant ratbaggery and gave him the sniff of a chance of realising his dream was money - serious money. He was born richer than most men die then added to his wealth the fabulous gold and diamond riches of South Africa. Initially there was a problem here in that the Boers, Dutch descended farmers, owned the land containing the valuables. In a sobering illustration of what can be achieved when the rich are able to co-opt a national government to their cause, the Boers were moved on under British guns.

As if Rhodes wasn't adequately tided over at this stage, he also had the backing of Rothschild money. Lord Rothschild was also designated as one of the successors of Rhodes secret Society of the Elect which had links with the Round Table founded by Lord Milner. The Round Table was one of the earliest "think tanks" - a precursor of the much more powerful models to follow - with influential lobby groups in the major Empire centres as well as the US. Its membership comprised ruling class cream and its mission was to nudge the foreign policies of the nations within its reach in the direction this private, unelected club thought it should be going. Rhodes dream of course failed, notwithstanding his reaching out from the grave with his scholarships to kindle the flame in others. His objectives and strategies were no doubt duly noted by his intellectual descendants for a time and a world more conducive to the idea of a world government.

That time wasn't long in coming. The eruption of the most cataclysmic war in the annals of a blood-stained human history shattered the optimistic belief in inexorable progress and transformed the world. It was presented as "the war to end all wars". Suitably traumatised and terrified, the people of the world were ready to welcome a mechanism to fulfill this promise - even if it meant surrendering a portion of national sovereignty. And so the League of Nations came into being. The more cynical saw this as an an embryo world government and some went as far as to see the League of Nations as being one of the main reasons the war was fought. (Henry Ford claimed that during his mission to try to prevent the most powerful nations of the world tearing each others throats out that he came into contact with people - in a position to know - who informed him that his efforts would be futile because the war had been long in the planning.) The American senate apparently contained its share of cynics because it refused to ratify the treaty that would have seen the US joining the League of Nations. Because of this absence of such a powerhouse of a nation, the League was doomed to failure.

In 1921, perhaps sensing that the League was an evolutionary dead-end,some extremely powerful people, originally coming together at the Paris Peace Conference of 1919, launched onto an unsuspecting world the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). The strategy of the CFR harkened back to that of the Round Table (indeed, Walter Lippmann, one of the founders of the CFR was a Round Table member)in giving governments an unsolicited helping hand with foreign policy. Ostensibly, the government that would receive the most help was the US government but with sister organisations - the Royal Institute of International Affairs based in London, and the Institute of Pacific Relations to inform Far Eastern affairs as well as organisations based in Paris and Hamburg, the CFR was global in reach.

In the US, the CFR acted as a conduit between high finance (notably the Rockefeller family) , big oil (notably the Rockefeller family), corporate elites and the Federal government. In 1922 it began producing its journal, Foreign Affairs. A graphic illustration of its influence on US foreign policy was included in a CFR expose (http://www.apfn.org/apfn/cfr-members.htm) "It has been said by political commentators on the left and the right that 'if you want to know what US foreign policy will be next year, you should read Foreign Affairs this year'."

Since 1966, every director of the CIA has been a CFR member. It is well known that President Kennedy was determined to reign in the CIA and perhaps not divorced from this determination (and the shortness of his life) was his awareness of a gigantic conspiracy growing like a tumour on the American state (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhZk8ronces.) It is believed by many that the CIA was involved in Kennedy's assassination. It is also believed by many that his death signalled nothing less than a coup d'etat in the US. If so, whoever was responsible, it is logical to assume, is still at the wheel. A lawless intelligence agency would no doubt be a valuable asset. Starving the CIA of funds proved to be an exercise in futility as the agency simply became self-funding by way of drug dealing and arms peddling. But it would be wrong to assume that the CIA became a consummate rogue organisation, a law unto itself. This is shown by the CFR accepting its director as member, which simply wouldn't pay unless a degree of control or at least influence could be exerted. So, if long ago quitting as an employee of the US government, it would be fair to say that the CIAs new employer is the CRF. But why would an organisation claiming to be as benign and helpful as the CRF does need a department of dirty tricks?

Barely had the last ember of the 1914 - 18 inferno lost its glow when the world burst into an even greater conflagration. Depending on your perspective, this was either World War 2 or part 2 of the first. After the fighting this time died in mushroom clouds, it was glaringly apparent that man had scaled a technological height from which it was possible to destroy himself completely. Another global explosion of fire and barbarism could possibly result in "the death of death" and render the planet uninhabitable. It was time for another surge towards world government. What else could possibly save man from himself?

The incarnation this time was the United Nations. This time with the Americans on board, it was thought to have a real chance of success. The headquarters this time was even located on US soil - donated by none other than the Rockefeller family - never far away when power was being mightily consolidated. Complementing the UN and created around the same time were the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, instruments thought capable of eventually being conducive to a one-world economy. The was even talk of a World Army but the nearest this came to fruition was individual nations contributing troops ad hoc to the blue helmeted UN forces, but this arrangement proved to be a dismal failure. Not to worry though: NATO would later fill this role. Now fighting in Afghanistan, it seems to have drifted a long way from the North Atlantic and the role it was originally created to fill.

The creators of the New World Order rapidly coalescing in our time deserve admiration, if only grudging, for the tirelessness and patience they have displayed in realising their dream. Their creature is hydra-headed with more tentacles than a badly mutated octopus. It is multidimensional. When one avenue appears blocked, it merely slithers off in another
direction.

When the UN, with its charter appearing strikingly similar to its Soviet counterpart being less of a surprise when it was learnt it had been written by under-cover communists, began to be not as forthcoming in delivering the glorious brotherhood of man as originally envisaged, its champions were philosophical. After all, there were plenty of other irons in the fire.

On May 29 - 31, 1954, the first meeting of the Bilderbergers was held in Oosterbeek, Holland at the Bilderberg Hotel, hence the group's name. Every year since, in a different country each time, the Bilderbergers have held their annual meeting. It is always shrouded in the darkest secrecy. Similar types attend these meetings as do CFR meetings - high flyers in finance, education, the media, corporate big-wigs and politicians - the difference being that there is no set membership. The wealthy and powerful from Europe and the US are invited according to what they can contribute at the time. The American delegation to the first meeting was led by .... David Rockefeller.

Although because of the lengths that are gone to to ensure the strictest security, not a great deal is known about the Bilderbergers. However, they are known to be powerful. How powerful? According to George McGhee, a former US ambassador to West Germany, "the Treaty of Rome which brought the Common Market into being [which stealthily metamorphosed into the European Union] was nurtured at Bilderberger Meetings".

Perhaps these movers and shakers were beginning to feel a little ashamed about their world moulding meetings looking a little like white-men's clubs, or more likely there was still too much of the world their tentacles had not enveloped. It was soon time to branch out.

The CFR failed as a grab for global power but as a shake-down exercise and dress-rehearsal for the real thing it was invaluable. The real thing was the Trilateral Commission. It was launched in 1973 by David Rockefeller in partnership with Zbigniew Brezinski, a geostrategist who would go on to become US National Security Adviser to President Jimmy Carter from 1977 - 81. Here is an insight into the diabolically brilliant mind of Brezinski as given by the man himself in Between Two Ages: The Technetronic Era: "... the nation-state as a fundamental unit of man's organised life has ceased to be the principal creative force: International banks and multinational corporations are acting and planning in terms that are far in advance of the political concepts of the nation-state."

The Trilateral Commission, as the name would suggest, encompasses the three main engines of economic power: the US, Western Europe and Japan. After targeting the power points comprising primarily Corporate, Academic and Political (in an ancillary position is the media which doesn't rate alongside the big three as it is dominated by all three) in these key chunks of the planet, the talent scouting was on in earnest. To quote from the August Review (a web journal)Vol5, Issue 12: "In general, the goals for globalisation are created by Corporate. Academic then provides studies and white papers that justify Corporate's goals. Political sells Academics arguments to the public [via the media] and if necessary, changes laws to accommodate and facilitate Corporate in getting what it wants."

The cherry picking of the best and brightest, not to mention greediest and most power crazed, advanced at a prodigious pace. Attracting the most desired personnel apparently presented no problem. In fact those tapped for inclusion seem to have positively flocked to its banner: ".. of the 54 original US members of the Trilateral Commission, Jimmy Carter was fronted to win the presidential election of 1976. Once inaugurated, Carter brought no less than 18 fellow members of the Commission into top- level cabinet and government agencies". (ibid)

No US executive since the Carter administration has been free of Commission domination. Bearing in mind that Commission members - American as well as foreign - march to the sound of a different drummer than the one supposedly maintaining the beat of the US national interest, this obviously does not augur well for US sovereignty or democracy. And given that the US leads the 'free world', one can only wonder at the type of freedom that is enjoyed by those who follow the pied piper of globalisation.

And yet we are allowed no respite from being told how we'll all be better off. This has to be a private joke. Irrepressible images arise of boardrooms full of men doubled over with laughter: "if the idiots believe that, they'll believe anything".

Neither, do we - the serfs - not need to be told one more time about the wonders of the "global village". Indeed, in financial terms, the world has shrunk to the size of a large casino, with trillions of dollars sloshing about the planet every day. Our sparkling technology isn't of course limited to the hyper efficient transfer of money; it has also taken communication to limits undreamed of just a few generations ago. "Communication" can also be read as mind control. Propaganda didn't die with Joseph Goebells - it had hardly been born! In the intervening sixty odd years it has been honed into a devastatingly effective weapon. And of course, should a little less subtlety be called for, war fighting technology has also improved exponentially if perhaps there are some misguided souls who do not fully appreciate the benefits of globalisation.

What drives those who see their reason for existence as the corralling and domination of as many of their fellow humans as possible? Or put another way, what do you get for the man who has everything? Answer: more! And that more is brought more clearly into focus if distilled into two main elements, those being, MONEY and POWER. But we have to try and get our heads around the fact we are not dealing with ordinary men here. We are dealing here with men whose appetites are gargantuan, their lusting after the twin treasures of money and power so obsessive, so all consuming, so pathological, it is beyond the comprehension of those not similarly afflicted.

There is of course the outside chance that the interpretation of world events given thus far is a regrettable mistake. History after all may just be a series of wild coincidences. For instance, it may just be one of those wild coincidence that the disease of multiculturalism broke out all over the Western world at almost exactly the same time that The Trilateral Commission was born - although it must be conceded that misguided zealots and ideologues had long struggled, albeit without much success to bring it about. Why would multiculturalism figure in the schemes of the Trilateralists? Simply because the nation- state and that central tenet of Western liberal democracy - individualism - would be the two main stumbling blocks to a world under new, globalist management. These open conspirators knew full well that both would be destroyed by multiracialism and multiculturalism.

Now in private hands, the world with its open borders and free flow of goods, capital and labour is in a "race to the bottom". The only logical conclusion is that when all wages have bottomed out around the level of what is paid to Indonesian coolies, and the great preponderance of the world's wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few and, with stampeding technology thrown into the mix, the 20/80 world has been entered - 20 percent of the world's population productive, 80 percent nothing but useless mouths to feed with no doubt dark muttering about the need for "depopulation" (new improved swine flu anyone - or even better, the vaccine?).

Is there so much as a sliver of silver lining in the storm-cloud of globalisation? Yes, and it is more than a sliver. In proportion to the globalisation of oppression, there rises the globalisation of resistance. All over the world, ordinary people are awakening and stirring. Via the wonders of technology our would be masters must be kicking themselves for allowing us to share, people are reaching out to each other across cities, tundra, deserts and oceans. They are educating, informing and inspiring each other. Although there is and always will be a terrible preponderance of firepower on the side of the enemy, the weight of numbers is on our side. While seduced and mesmerised by the deadly cooing of these masterminds of propaganda and mind control these numbers admittedly do not count for a lot. However, as the endgame of the New World Order approaches its climax, it will become increasingly difficult, if not impossible to keep what is happening under the shroud of deceit that has served these Machiavellians so well for so long.

It would be no exaggeration to describe what is coming as the final battle between good and evil. As has been demonstrated for so long and so often the streak of evil in man is truly terrifying. Conversely, the copious amount of good in man has allowed him to survive in the face of all that evil has thrown at him. The human spirit has shown itself time and time again to be indomitable. Couple this fearsome spirit with minds that have been freed from the web of hypnosis that have been spun about them for so long and the New World Order may have a terrible fight on its hands. Even now it would be trying to calculate just how many would rather die on their feet than live on their knees.
