Brexit: Globalism Is At The Gate
Townhall.com ^ | June 28, 2016 | Susan Stamper Brown

Globalists must be shivering in their boots after the United Kingdom's Brexit vote.

It's hard for elitists to comprehend that the commoners they seek to control aren't obsessed with money and power the same way they are. Ordinary people care more about freedom, their kids' future and their country than they care about the mighty Euro or dollar.

Not even President Obama's effervescence was able to sway Britons when he visited the U.K. in an effort to prevent his beloved globalism from crumbling the same way communism fell years back.

Global elitists in the United States, also known as Progressives, surely cringe at things to come, given the mood of voters across America. Just like in Great Britain, huge swaths of ordinary Americans are disgusted that the very essence of this country is being steamrolled by those who wish to turn America into a religion-less, genderless, custom-less European mini-me.

The left's worn-out tactic of name-calling, labeling people as bigots, homophobes, xenophobes or racists isn't working. The more they hurl accusations, the bigger the movement grows.

Globalists fail to understand human psyche. They don't get that humans are hardwired with an innate desire for freedom, and the longer it is repressed the stronger the desire grows.

In a nutshell, globalism is a skewed worldview based on fear of death and lack of faith in God's provision.

A little historical background: Globalism first showed up on the planet with the Tower of Babel. After the flood, God instructed man to disperse and "fill the Earth," but a nimrod named Nimrod thought he had a better idea, and gathered together a group of likeminded faithless rebels who believed dispersing was a bad idea. So they built a city and a tall tower with the intention to live in a world of perpetual sameness under the control of a universal ruler, Nimrod the nimrod.

To them, oneness, globalism, meant survival. But Genesis 11 tells the rest of the story and what God thought about this primitive version of globalism. Because of their disobedience and self-sufficiency, "... the Lord scattered them from there all over the earth...That is why it was called Babel ---- because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world..."

If individual nations with unique languages, customs and cultures are good enough for God, it should be good enough for us. That's why the globalist utopian dream of peaceful coexistence and economic share-everything-ness is just a dream and will never become a reality.

Nonetheless, diehards will do everything in their power to make it work. They've sewn our mouths shut with political correctness and shackled our hands with abusive, controlling regulations. They are so committed to their globalism purpose, they feel the need to cover for it every time something like Fort Hood, San Bernardino or the Orlando massacre happens.

Globalism's a real and present problem, but if you've read The Book, you understand there really is no permanent fix. The best we can do is do our best to delay the arrival of the inevitable like Great Britain's Brexit referendum just did. But in the meantime, one thing's for certain: Another train is set to arrive and we are promised that one will be right on time. May we not be so preoccupied with Babel-like self-reliance that we fail to prepare for the trip that really matters.

I read here on FR yesterday that England was sending to the EU every week $500 million pounds or dollars (probably pounds).

That’s just economic genocide right there, and it was foisted on the people by their elites.

The elites should pay for their crimes.

Globalism is now under judgment by God. It has served its purpose and is going down hard.

Not only is England sending the EU all that money every week, the EU is sending them the refugees who can move freely around all countries in the EU once they get there.

Glad they have at least one writer with a brain and a soul not sold out to the Globalists.

Excellent takeaway:

Not even President Obama’s effervescence was able to sway Britons when he visited the U.K. in an effort to prevent his beloved globalism from crumbling the same way communism fell years back.

Global elitists in the United States, also known as Progressives, surely cringe at things to come, given the mood of voters across America.

That is why it was called Babel

Never knew that. Very cool...speaking of babble...that speech that Farage gave at the European Parliament this morning was incredible. Afterward Juncker went up and snidely asked why Farage was there since the UK voted to leave. Of course, he didn't refute anything Farage said, including that most of those politicos never had a proper job! Classic!

My thought, exactly. Didn’t he basically threaten them? “You’ll go to the back of the queue”. What a pompous fool he is.

Where’s the “DOW Roars back” articles?

Usually, a 100 pt rise is touted as “soaring”.

So unlike the media to selectively use adjectives /s

In a nutshell, this is another socialist experiment that has failed, this time on global proportions.

The Kenyan telling the Brits what to do did not go over very well. I remember how much they used to love him when he was elected.

The problem with the global elite is that they want to reduce my income and increase my expenses.

They already have at least ten to 100 times more than they need.

What is their problem?

I see this situation as promising, BUT I also know that these “elites” won’t go quietly into the night. They think themselves a much higher level of human being than the rest of us, and they just don’t understand why we would do this to ourselves (resist). Much blood will be spilled before these Satanists give up on their dream and it will be for our own good in their eyes.

This all plays out in the movie “Rollerball”.

Strobe Talbott -

12th United States Deputy Secretary of State
In office
February 23, 1994 – January 19, 2001
President Bill Clinton
Preceded by Clifton R. Wharton, Jr.
Succeeded by Richard Armitage

TALBOTT: NEXT CENTURY, AMERICA WILL NOT EXIST IN CURRENT FORM, ‘ALL
STATES WILL RECOGNIZE A SINGLE, GLOBAL AUTHORITY’

Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott believes the United States
may not exist in its current form in the 21st Century — because
nationhood throughout the world will become obsolete!

Talbott, who is profiled in the NEW YORK TIMES on Monday [for the
second time in six months], has defined, shaped and executed the
Clinton administration’s foreign policy. He has served at the State
Department since the first day of the Clinton presidency.

Just before joining the administration, Talbott wrote in TIME magazine
— in an essay titled “The Birth of the Global Nation” — that he is
looking forward to government run by “one global authority.”

“Here is one optimist’s reason for believing unity will prevail ...
within the next hundred years ... nationhood as we know it will be
obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority,”
Talbott declared in the July 20, 1992 issue of TIME.

“A phrase briefly fashionable in the mid-20th century — ‘citizen of
the world’ — will have assumed real meaning by the end of the 21st.”

Talbott continued: “All countries are basically social arrangements,
accommodations to changing circumstances. No matter how permanent and
even sacred they may seem at any one time, in fact they are all
artificial and temporary.”

Talbott’s belief that the United States of America and other nations
are “artificial and temporary” continues to cause a rift inside of the
State Department, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

“I think we are losing sight that we work for the American taxpayer,
not Russia, not Asia,” one State Department veteran told the DRUDGE
REPORT in Washington. “Mr. Talbott is completely consumed with world
order and has alienated many career employees here. [His] attitude
borders on obsession.”

In recent months, Talbott has come under fire for his stand on Russia.
The policy of financial and political engagement with Russia as
revelations pour forth of massive money-laundering schemes has made
Talbott the target of critics, reports John Broder at the TIMES.

“We have to be calm and steady and have a clear sense of purpose,”
Talbott tells Monday’s NEW YORK TIMES.

“One of my modest suggestions to the world is strategic patience. We
have to be calm and steady and have a clear sense of purpose when that
dynamic is discouraging, as it is today,” Talbott tells the TIMES.

Global government has proven to be slightly more complicated than one
optimist dreamed.
