It's a world, which, as Moises Naim, Editor-in-Chief of Foreign Policy magazine told me, is crying out for some form of global governance.

Someone finally gets it?

50 years ago, a threat of sanctions against the USA would have simply brought a shrug from us. Today I'm not so sure.

Whether you lowly peasants want it or not.

The global elite knows what's best for you, and you're going to get it.

No problem. Just make me Brave Incredible General, Supreme Head Imperial Tyrant (B.I.G. S.H.I.T., for short), and I will mandate that it will be illegal for women between the ages of 19 to 25 to wear clothing.

>>you see the obvious potential weakness of the emerging globalised world: break any one link in the chain and the result will could be disruption on a major scale. Pandemic terrorist attacks, this disease has the capacity to bring our continent world to gridlock and submission to the Islamic Koran.

How many days food supply do you have in your home? Do you friends and neighbors have the same?

Reliance upon foreign nations for our food supplies, is criminal! Our nation wide daily food requirements could be interrupted so simply. With foreign ships refusing to unload at our foreign controlled ports this will bring America to her knees in ten days or less.

Starvation isn't something that cannot be fought with bullets or nuclear missiles. The mere threat of terrorist attacks upon the foreign ships after they leave our ports, if they have unloaded at our ports will be enough for them to refuse to bring our daily food requirements.

The ship owners would apologize up one side and down the other, explaining that we can't protect them with our shrinking Navy. The foreign controlled port authorities would pretend to beg for our salvation, meetings of the General Assembly at the United Nations would be held. In the end America would collapse and heed the wishes of the Islamics.

Do you remember what six men in a rubber boat with a couple of rockets in a rubber boat did to the warship, the USS Cole? What could those same men do to unarmed, unprotected cargo ship? Could they sink it next to a major pier in ___________.(you name the city port) How many months would it take to remove the sunken ship? How many ships would they have to sink before foreign ship owners would order their Captains to stay away from American ports?

Men and nations lay down to die. Why are we laying down? Are we just relaxing or are we sleeping while our President and the Congress sign our death certificates?

To All Americans: Do you want to see this movie or would you prefer to live this one event to the end? Is it time to stop globalization or shall we continue walking to our graveyards?

Yeah, but I suspect a CoDominion such as has been described by Jerry Pournelle is not quite what they have in mind. But it may come to that.
