And now for a world government By Gideon Rachman

Published: December 8 2008 19:13 | Last updated: December 8 2008 19:13

I have never believed that there is a secret United Nations plot to take over the US. I have never seen black helicopters hovering in the sky above Montana. But, for the first time in my life, I think the formation of some sort of world government is plausible.

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. The EU has a supreme court, a currency, thousands of pages of law, a large civil service and the ability to deploy military force.

Bush the first New World Order and Clinton The Third Way. In what ways these two pland differ I can’t say but they sound a lot like what 0bama may have in his mind for Global Poverty thing..involving the UN. Details to follow..oh wait..0bama does not deal in details.

The payments and support received by individuals in this country still come overwhelmingly from private-sector employment. Most of government's payments out are to institutions of some kind, either governmental or private businesses.

No, that's not the Roman Mob going to lunch.

Chin up, they haven't got us cornered yet.
