Globalization: The Final Demise of National Security

The August Review ^ | 3/26/06 | Patrick Wood

[wotan]

Zbigniew Brzezinski, co-founder of the global elitist Trilateral Commission in 1973 and the principal architect of modern globalization, recently wrote in 2004,

"The notion of total national security is now a myth. Total security and total defense in the age of globalization are not attainable. The real issue is: with how much insecurity can America live while promoting its interests in an increasingly interactive, interdependent world?"1

The original Trilateral Commission policy of national insecurity has now come full circle.

The U.S. Department of Commerce white paper, Maritime Security and Beyond, tells us what is at stake in our maritime security policies:Maritime Security

"America's coasts, rivers, bridges, tunnels, ports, ships, military bases, and waterside industries may be the terrorists' next targets. The overall risk associated with the vulnerability of the U.S. maritime assets, both as a potential target for terrorist activity and more importantly as a transportation platform for the introduction of a "Trojan Horse," in which a potential weapon of mass destruction (WMD), terrorist, contraband or illegal aliens, enters the U.S. through its seaports, has been made very clear in the last several years. A catastrophic event at a seaport facility would not only affect the global transport infrastructure, but could also result in global economic devastation for a long period of time." [emphasis added]2

The issue of national security is of huge importance to all Americans. There are only three ways to enter the U.S. -- by land, sea or air. While globalist politicians have done little, if anything, to secure land borders with Canada and Mexico, it is now apparent that they will do little or nothing to improve our maritime security as well. In fact, they seem to be intent on dismantling what little security remains.

Me too.

Click on the link and read the entire well written article. This is almost a detailed destination guide. It explains a lot of questions that we have been asking about why there doesn't appear to be much difference between the Ds and Rs.

[hedgetrimmer]

"Going forward, we recognise that maritime security is a trans-national issue. Even as we safeguard ships and port facilities, there is also a need for greater international cooperation and multilateral efforts to ensure the security...of the global supply chain."
--Mr. Lui Tuck Yew

In short, globalization is about protecting the transnational's goods and property. Do you think they care about our national security or national sovereignty? Look at it this way: it interferes with the global supply chain.

[hedgetrimmer]

this post's for you

[hedgetrimmer]

There is nothing good for the American people in the notion of interdependence. The revolutionary war was fought to establish independence and rebuke the "free trade" system Britain had foisted on the world. They are at it again, this time more successfully, because the last 50 years has been spent breeding the INDEPENDENCE out of our government and of the American people.

[hedgetrimmer]

That article is certainly a stunner. Thanks for the ping.

[B4Ranch]

It answers questions for every patriot from every country in the world , doesn't it?

[Carry_Okie]

It's the bottom half of the article that is interesting.

Grampa Dave, here is your money trail, and what do you know, but the islamofascists would be nothing without Western money.

DP World, who will shortly take over operation of 21 U.S. port terminal facilities, is wholly owned by the royal family that constitutes the government of the UAE. This form of government, where a family owns and runs the government, is unknown in the western world. It is the pinnacle of fascism and dictatorship combined.

Most assume that the royal family's riches came from royalties paid on oil production, and this is certainly true. But even that kind of wealth cannot account for the rapid rise of DP World as a top player in shipping and port operation throughout the world.

Records show, for instance, that DP World purchased P&O for $6.8 billion. Only $300 million (5 percent) actually came from DP World -- the rest, $6.5 billion, was provided by Barclays Capital and Deutsche Bank AG.

In short, it is the global banking community that enables the corporate expansion of powerful companies owned by close-knit Islamic families in the GCC countries. Without global bank support, there would be no DP World to take over American shipping ports.

Good link. Thanks.

"It explains a lot of questions that we have been asking about why there doesn't appear to be much difference between the Ds and Rs."

It's like the old story about security in Mouseland:
First the white cats got into power, by promising Cheese with safety, and while the mice ate their 'free' cheese the cats ate the plumpest and juciest mice at their leisure.
Then, the Black cats ran on a ticket of Safety with peanuts, and were elected by a landslide, and while the mice ate their 'free' peanuts the cats continued to pick off the plump juicy mice of choice, and there was much dissatisfaction in mouseland.
The mice were in a quandry; what kind of cats did they need to rule over Mouseland? Finally H. Ross Per-Rat bought up some time on Mousevision, and proclaimed "what we need is cats that are black and white to protect us..." - and now you are wondering "where is mouseland?" aren't you!

Well hey! Just look how they've turned today's list of bulletins on BigCharts.MarketWatch.com into a list of lectures to the USA/Free (Non-Commie) World!!!

7:18 IMF should watch dollar, not yuan, Zhou says
7:05 Zhou says gradual rise in yuan is best
6:04 China's Zhou: Exchange reforms must be gradual
6:00 Zhou: China rejects label of currency manipulator
6:00 Zhou: Some monetary policy action need to curb money growth

It's getting to be enough to gag a maggot!!! (or anything that rhymes with that)

Today, our POTUS is in West Sacramento piddling around with stupid Schwartzenegger's "hydrogen highway" and probably riding around in that useless "hydrogen hummer," too!!! We're NOT going to make hydrogen ANYTHING without nuclear energy at a level comparable to the FRENCHIES and these two boobs can't even get a dam built on the American River to make failing CA levees irrelevant like the Chinese Communists are doing on the Yankzee River!!!

So there you have it! Our "leaders" haven't got the common sense of the Chinese, or EVEN THE FRENCH!!!

"It's a means of erasing borders so we can all live in some kind of fantasy world."

All written and sung about in a tune so moving that my first born's public high school graduating class adopted it as their "class song" for their graduation ceremonies! The song? "Imagine" by the Beatles! Read the lyrics and you'll see why so many young people in this world are confused, today!!!

But, but, but ...

A great many Freepers keep voting for these clowns because the alternative is: (choose one) unthinkable, dastardly, communist, Democrat, domestic, unpatriotic.

I'm really beginning to wonder how the word Republican got associated with FreeRepublic in the first place since the Republican Party has become anything but republican.

[B4Ranch]

The Republican Party has left us old lifetime Republicans for the new crop of socialist-neocon Pubs. That's fine if that's the way they want to do it. No more contributions locally or nationally from this old man. Them bucks are all going to go to Constitution Party candidates from now on.

[SierraWasp]

I think it was because the owner/operator was originally trying to hang on to being a Democrat almost as doggedly as Zell Miller, but at least saw the hopelessness in trying to reconcile a non-partisan conservative website with such a hopelessly confusing partisan label as "Democrat!"

That Party left him, just as it did Reagan, Miller, Nunn, Jackson (Scoop) and many others! Now he freely encourages Republican partisans to mingle with non-partisan and Republican conservatives on his conservative website.

Of course, even though a high percentage of Republicans consider themselves "conservatives," a surprisingly large percentage are embarrassed by conservatives. They don't want to leave the Republican Party although they're uncomfortable with it's largely conservative tilt, so their solution to that is to dominate the Party, the way that conservatives have done for the past decade.

At least that's the way I see it, although I'm sure we'll always find those that disagree with this conservative on this avowed "conservative" website!!! Right???

[dalereed]

I've watched the One World Socialists tear this country apart for the last 60+ years from the great country I was born in to the pile of dung that it is today.

The only reason that it isn't totally destroyed yet, but getting close, is that conservatives have been fighting it and have delayed the total demise.

China is "becoming more knowledgeable about how all countries need to play the game in Washington," said Kenneth Lieberthal, who oversaw China policy for the National Security Council under former President Bill Clinton.
