Interesting that this originated on Salon.

Daniel’s 70th week is coming. Things will get much worse before they get better. I don’t plan to be around for the fun.

It’s the Nazification of America and the world!

[GraceG]

I used to think people warning for the NWO were crazies...

Sadly they are being proven right day after day after day...

[kabumpo]

The Basil accord? Did he mean Basle?

[bmwcyle]

But them they point to the wrong villains.

Elites’ strange plot to take over the world

A few decades ago, politicians hatched a Tom Friedman-esque idea to unite U.S. and Western Europe. Did it succeed?

BY MATT STOLLER

Elites’ strange plot to take over the world

The idea of a country seems pretty simple. I live in America, and I’m an American. She lives in France, and she is French. The Americans have a president who is their leader, the British have a prime minister, the French have their own president, and so forth.

But the way political decision-making around security issues ricochets around the world, from Western capital to Western capital, is making a mockery of commonly held conceptions of national sovereignty. In recent weeks, a British parliament vote on Syria forced the U.S. president to seek authorization from Congress, while leaked documents detailed extensive cooperation between the intelligence services of the U.S. and other nations. The president of Bolivia was forced to down his plane by Italy and France, just because he joked about having Edwards Snowden on board. And so on, and so forth.

This all demands the question: Why do we hold the conception that we live in separate nation-states? Well, it turns out that this question was actually asked after World War II, and the answer American leaders came up with was … we shouldn’t.

Stoller introduces Salon readers to Clarence Streit, a Rhodes Scholar-turned elite journalist who, in 1939, published an influential but now scarcely-remembered tome, Union Now: A Proposal for an Atlantic Federal Union of the Free. In his book, Streit proposed to federate the United States, Canada, the “freedom-loving” nations of Europe, and other English-speaking countries like Australia and New Zealand under an international government designed along the lines of the U.S. government.

I'm sure the protection of the Bill of Rights, including the Second Amendment, would then be extended to all these other countries.

(Do I really need a /sarc tag?)

No way of knowing, but the way things are accelerating it could be fairly soon.

Obama is an Enabler, for certain. He’s on the side of Evil and doing everything according to plan.

Here is Streits bio. He made a good living out of his Union Now proposal. He died in , appropriately, Washington DC. Clarence Kirschmann Streit (German pronunciation: [ʃtʀaɪ̯t]; January 21, 1896 – July 6, 1986) was a journalist and Atlanticist who played a prominent role in the Atlantic Movement. Streit, of Palatine German origin, moved with his family to Missoula, Montana in 1911. In Missoula, he founded the Konah, a high school paper that is now one of the oldest in the United States in continuous publication.[2] While a student at Montana State University (now the University of Montana), he volunteered for military service during World War I, serving in an Intelligence unit in France and assisting the American delegation at the Conference of Versailles. He was a Rhodes scholar at University of Oxford in 1920. He married Jeanne Defrance in Paris in 1921, after which he became a foreign correspondent for the New York Times. In 1929, he was assigned to cover the League of Nations in Switzerland, where he witnessed the League's slow disintegration and collapse. That experience, coupled with the rise of totalitarian regimes in Europe, convinced him that mankind's best hope was a federal union of democracies, modeled on American federalism. This led him to write Union Now, a book advocating the political integration of the democracies of Western Europe (including their colonies) and the other English-speaking countries at that time (the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa). The book was published in 1938, on the eve of World War II.[3] It had sold over 300,000 copies by 1972.[4] Soon after the book's publication, Streit founded Federal Union, Inc. (later renamed the Association to Unite the Democracies) to promote his vision. In 1949, with William Clayton and Owen Roberts, Streit founded the Atlantic Union Committee, advocating the transformation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) into a political entity. The Streit Council, a successor organization to the Association to Unite the Democracies, was named after him.

The ultimate motivation behind the program was and remains greater and greater power, pure and simple — power for a small cadre of vain, self-serving elites who are convinced they can abolish all the ills of this fallen world if only they can wrest enough power from the wretched and ignorant masses to achieve their objectives.

Monsters. All of them. The real goal is as Orwell's O'Brien had it: torture for the sake of torture. Slaughter for the sake of slaughter. A boot in a human face forever.

Anyone who has been near the upper reaches of the military, finance, academia, government bureaucracy, NGOs or elsewhere for the last 50 years could’ve told you as much. I was a spear-carrier under Presidents Carter and Reagan and I know more than the author will probably ever know. It is a fait accompli and has been for decades.

[Hayride]

Within 5-10 minutes you could go find quotes from Popes, Presidents, Prime Ministers and many very powerful men from the past few generations talking about a NWO and global gov’t. This isn’t cracking the enigma code or paranoia or conspiracy theory. It’s a conspiracy and it’s a fact.

I have a very poor record of trying to wake people up through the years. One of the reasons for failure is it sounds too crazy to be true even though the evidence is easy to confirm. Some people feel powerless to stop what’s going on so they don’t want to think about it. Also, it might be scary to others so there’s a powerful defence mechanism that kicks in and they deny any such plan has been in the works.

The evil one has come to steal, kill and destroy. The globalists aren’t being driven by the spirit of God, much the opposite, so what do you think they have in store for us? Wake up, wake up!

[Jack Hydrazine]

Keep in mind that the goal of a world government is the dream of both Jews, Christians, and Shi-ite Muzzies as well as secular humanist collectivists.

Secular humanist collectivists want it under a auspices of a world dictator/thug.

And the others want it under a Messiah/Mahdi figure who will be a truly God-fearing man.

One way or another it’s going to happen. It is up to us as to who is going to run it.

“... power for a small cadre of vain, self-serving elites who are convinced they can abolish all the ills of this fallen world if only they can wrest enough power from the wretched and ignorant masses to achieve their objectives.”

Umm, isn’t this the practical objective of ‘communist’ regimes everywhere?

"When the author walks on the stage the play is over. God is going to invade, all right...something so beautiful to some of us and so terrible to others that none of us will have any choice left. For this time it will be God without disguise...it will be too late then to choose your side. There is no use saying you choose to lie down when it has become impossible to stand up."

~C.S. Lewis
