Born Charles Philip Arthur George Mountbatten-Windsor in 1948, crowned Prince of Wales in 1969, the future King George VII, as he will be known, has an abundance of titles reflecting his wealth and power. He is related to all of the royal houses of Europe and his lineage goes back to Charlemagne, the titular kings of Jerusalem and the ancient kingdoms of Persia and Babylon. Though the media has continued to paint Britain's Prince Charles as a polo-playing two-timer, his long list of accomplishments include musician, recognized painter, horseman, man of war and businessman.
He holds the rank of major general in the British Army, rear admiral in the Royal Navy and air vice marshal in the Royal Air Force. Furthermore, he flies a variety of jet fighter planes including the Chipmunk, Spitfire, Nimrod, Phantom, Jet Provost and Harrier T4. As king, he will hold three important offices: king of a 1,200-year-old monarchy, head of the Anglican church and true head of state since the army and navy report directly to the sovereign and not to the prime minister.
When not in uniform, Prince Charles wears a business suit, using his clout as a major force behind the scenes, affecting the whole agenda of the United Nations. In 1991, he brought together major world leaders and multinational corporations to discuss how to obtain consensus on "Agenda 21," a pagan-centered environmental philosophy. The outcome of the United Nations Conference on the Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 brought us sustainable development and the Biological Diversity Treaty. Currently 37 states have adopted "Smart Growth" policies which stem from the Biological Diversity Treaty.
In 1990, he formed The Prince of Wales International Business Leaders Forum in Charleston, S.C. Over 100 CEOs in the United States met to discuss their role in a changing world. They concluded that chief executive officers have a critical role to play in (1) setting company values and listening to concerns of community leaders, (2) ensuring that corporations adopt sustainable development practices, and (3) assisting community leaders in inner cities and in rural areas to regenerate neighborhoods.
Up until the recent World Economic Forum meeting in New York, this organization has had no exposure on the local level. On the global level, the Prince of Wales International Business Leaders Forum has become the key originator and broker of new innovative corporate policies and practices, supporting the structural change in government to partnerships with business. Many popular corporations are a part of this including 3M, Cable and Wireless, TRW, Coca-Cola, BMW, Volkswagen, CIGNA, DHL Worldwide Express, Levi Strauss and the Ford Foundation.
As a result of public-private partnerships, the growing role of corporations is expanding. The balance sheet of many multinational corporations is fatter and healthier than most Third World countries. Corporations have the ability to produce wealth and increase the power of any impoverished nation to lift its citizens out of the gutter. For all of these reasons, the CEO is now moving into the visible position of statesman.
To highlight the importance of this shift, the World Economic Forum and the Prince of Wales International Business Leaders Forum announced a "Framework for Action" that chief executives, chairmen, board directors and executive management teams can use to develop a strategy for managing their company's impact on society and their relationship with employees, customers, suppliers and members of the community. The Framework has three commitments. First, to commit to being "global corporation citizens" in the way businesses are run. Two, "to identify and work with key stakeholders in our main spheres of influence." Third, "ultimate leadership for corporate citizenship rests with us as chief executives, chairmen and board directors." The 36 corporations include business leaders from different countries and industry sectors. Some of those signing on from America are: Arthur D. Little, Inc., Coca-Cola, Fleetboston Global Bank, ING Group, McDonald's Corporation, Phillips-Van Heusen and S. C. Johnson Wax.
Adrian Hodges, director of the Miami office of the Prince of Wales International Business Leaders Forum, informed me that they have had a "tremendous amount of interest and willingness from U.S. corporations on how to integrate corporate citizenship in their business." Additionally they are working with both the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Latin American Chamber of Commerce. In explaining their role, he said, "We are a wholesaler rather than a retailer of ideas to the corporate sector, so we work through organizations so they can reach the masses of corporate America."
If you lost your greatest possession to a group of terrorists, wouldn't you look for a different way to bring them back? The developed world does not use guns and bullets to effect change – they use ideas, thoughts, concepts and understanding. The British lost the War of 1812 to a bunch of illiterate sharpshooters from the mountains of Kentucky and Tennessee. It appears they have changed their tactics. America be on guard. THE BRITISH ARE COMING!!!
Sara Moulton's show? Geez. Guess I won't be watching that one for a while.

But my favorite remains "Stop Global Whining."
I love this sort of thing. It's whackos like this that make Free Republic worth reading.
Hell anyone with any real sense knows that the NWO is not the UN its the USA, with the UN and EU is a subservient clean up role.
Put in for voluntary redundancy today, I want to get out before the ship sinks.

We can't allow those who have proven themselves without merit in the treatment of their own citizens to develop WMD. Iraq and North Korea don't qualify as responsible powers in this regard. Don't like it? Tough. The powers that be are ordained by God and until He takes away our ability to decide who's worthy and who isn't to hold nukes we'll keep on deciding who holds them and who doesn't.
In terms of military force the US is the 'world governing body'. If they are not with us, they are with the enemy.
Well if Americans are happy to police the world, or creat a pax America, I dont mind but I hope our beloved leadr decides to sit this one out.
Cheers Tony
... of men we know, that by a necessary law of their nature they rule wherever they can. And it is not as if we were the first to make this law, or to act upon it when made: we found it existing before us, and shall leave it to exist for ever after us; all we do is to make use of it, knowing that you and everybody else, having the same power as we have, would do the same as we do.
In any case, according to this lot the whole business is part of a plot to make Prince Charles into the ruler of the world, and who could argue with that?
Is it supposed to mean something in regard to this thread, or what?
