Lula Da Silva Calls For New World Economic Order
Merco Press ^ | 6/16/09

Brazilian President Lula da Silva urged unions and workers on Monday to take advantage of the global financial crisis to help forge a new world economic order. He also criticized multilateral organizations for having no plans to address the current global crisis.

The Brazilian president said it was time to end with “paper” speculation

"I address myself now to the labour leaders" Lula da Silva told a global jobs summit at the International Labour Organization (ILO) in Geneva, Switzerland. "This is an exceptional opportunity for all of you to think and develop proposals together with the employers and business leaders so that we can change definitely the relations between state and civil society and so that we can build our countries with much more fairness and much more solidarity," he said. Lula da Silva added that destabilizing surges last year in oil and commodity prices had been due to speculation. "We cannot live with a financial system that speculates paper on top of paper without generating one single job, without manufacturing one screw, one shoe, one shirt, one tie" the former union leader told the conference to frequent applause. "This economic crisis has opened an enormous perspective so that we can discuss everything, everything can be put on the table" he said. The G20 group of rich and emerging countries, of which Brazil is a member, has asked the ILO to design policies to build a recovery from the crisis. ILO says it is important to avoid a lag in job creation as the economy recovers, because jobs and incomes will underpin the consumption needed as a foundation for sustainable growth. Further on he said that “you’re witnesses that with the crisis for the eighties and nineties, when the World Bank and the IMF had all the solutions for the poor countries, but when the crisis hits the US, Japan and Europe, they don’t have the least proposal to address it”. “The big banks and financial institutions had assessments and knew about the economic situation of countries in Latinamerica and Africa but they did not have five seconds to assess their own risks”, he added. The crisis had exposed the falseness of "neo-liberal" doctrines calling for the state to be limited and everything to be left to the market, he said. Only the state had the power to bail out banks when the crisis hit, he said. "It's only the state that has the guarantee and credibility to do what the markets did not manage to do," he said. Lula da Silva said he was disappointed that last year there was not sufficient consensus to conclude the Doha round of trade talks, which for eight years has been under discussion in an attempt to liberate trade. “This would have helped reduce the huge government subventions of rich countries to their farmers and which constrict the production capacity of countries in Africa and Latinamerica”, underlined the Brazilian president.

Hi Lori!
Paragraphs are your friends!

Communist BS - blaming the free market and claiming that Socialism is the solution, more government control, etc.
Disaster looms.

There’s absolutely nothing “new” about the so-called “New World Order”; Marx, Engels, Lenin, Trotsky... they all had the same dream. The dream turned into a nightmare in the Soviet union, Cuba, China, Cambodia, Vietnam... the list goes on and on. Yet, legions of self-styled intellectuals continue to stroke themselves over this nonsense, believing, somehow, that in those earlier failures it “wasn’t done right” and that, if intellectuals such as themselves could only design the system, it would be sure to succeed. It’s sheerest fantasy.

Every class in society has, at one time or another, dreamed of a dictatorship by its members. However, dictatorship is dictatorship, and the result of suppression of any segment of society is tyranny. Inevitably, these so-called new world orders end in political and social repression, and ultimately in mass murder.

Freedom is freedom, no matter how much some members of society wish us to believe that Freedom is Slavery.

I'm beginning to think that the "new world economic order", along with the rest of the world government, is already in place and this kind of press is just to get people used to the idea.

Another piece of Bible prophecy in the process of falling into place.

Opponents of freedom will always use the corruption of capitalists as an excuse to curtail our liberties. From what I see, many of the corrupt business and government people who got us in this mess will freely adopt authoritarian ways if they think it will profit them personally. I don't believe we are in the trouble we are because of any natural economic cycle. We are harvesting the fruits of corruption. From Barney to Bernanke, from corrupt bankers to lawyers and accountants who knew, by the thousands, of the corruption around them and either covered it up or conveniently ignored it.

We are in such a weak position to fight off the socialists, communists and fascists because of the individual dishonesty and corruption of so many so called capitalists.

Our founders knew that our system of government was only suited to an honest and moral people. Our business and government "leaders" have shown us that honesty and morality are not traits they have cultivated.

Maybe he is, or maybe he's just another [foundation] brick in the [pyramid] wall!

Somehow, I don't think Ahmadinejad & Kim Jong Il and some others will be reading from the new 'neo-capitalist Illuminati' script when planning their own brand of Communo-Religious tyranny for the World.

Whatever happens now, there's inevitably going to be a clash of Communist ideals, Classic 'v' Religious 'v' Capitalist tyranny, which will probably be destructive on an unimaginable scale.

” It’s sheerest fantasy.”

What are you saying- that the New World Order isn’t real? Isn’t possible? Isn’t being installed right now in Washington, D.C.?

THAT VIEW is sheerest fantasy. The referent is pretty clear; try reading it again.
