There is scope for debate – and innumerable newspaper quizzes – about who was the most influential public figure of the year, or which the most significant event. But there can be little doubt which word won the prize for most important adjective. 2009 was the year in which "global" swept the rest of the political lexicon into obscurity. There were "global crises" and "global challenges", the only possible resolution to which lay in "global solutions" necessitating "global agreements". Gordon Brown actually suggested something called a "global alliance" in response to climate change. (Would this be an alliance against the Axis of Extra-Terrestrials?)
Some of this was sheer hokum: when uttered by Gordon Brown, the word "global", as in "global economic crisis", meant: "It's not my fault". To the extent that the word had intelligible meaning, it also had political ramifications that were scarcely examined by those who bandied it about with such ponderous self-importance. The mere utterance of it was assumed to sweep away any consideration of what was once assumed to be the most basic principle of modern democracy: that elected national governments are responsible to their own people – that the right to govern derives from the consent of the electorate.
The dangerous idea that the democratic accountability of national governments should simply be dispensed with in favour of "global agreements" reached after closed negotiations between world leaders never, so far as I recall, entered into the arena of public discussion. Except in the United States, where it became a very contentious talking point, the US still holding firmly to the 18th-century idea that power should lie with the will of the people.(continued)

Excellent point, of which I agree.
With that in mind there will be whole bunch of folks hating death oh so much more than hating life.
Hidden away in his secret lair, Dr. Evil is rubbing his hands with glee and laughing his posterior off. Global warming was the scam he was looking for his whole life, and he found his favorite stooge in Barack Obama.
But, hang loose good Buddy... THE ultimate justice IS on its way.
Why run? Say a prayer, load up, and put some liberals before the judgment throne a little early.
Of Course,

Good on ya.
Good idea.
I’ve trained and worked in some of the same places propagandized about. There wasn’t anything going on but us few at work (training for foreign combat, mostly, and chores), and occasionally, other related units. The old post exchanges, barber shops...all closed for decades. Some of the fences needed fixing, but the old barracks for soldiers, WWII-era internees, and the like, were pretty nicely kept and empty. ...no prisons, no razorwire, no pink vehicles, no aliens from outer space, no frenchmen, no black helicopters (although dark green Blackhawks sometimes look black from below, when they’re flying).
The real conspiracy that I’m aware of is that of economic globalism being pushed by the same families that donate to both political parties while regulating against domestic production and jobs, opposing needed defense measures (for “trading partners”), supporting social programs, public education, and so on.
There might be just one sure way to scare the rest of the world into forgetting this nonsense about "one world government" ...
Well, let me tell you what "scares the hell out of a whole lot of people"... :-)
That would be if you tell them that they will be living under the control of a one-world government run by Jesus, the Messiah of Israel and there will be no getting away with anything, any longer...
Talk about making a lot of people "run scared"... that would... LOL...
Sure the economic globalism is horrid . . . and the tip of the iceberg.
It would also be in their interests to insure that disinfo was widely put out about bases that THEY might claim were death camps when they knew folks would discover they were not quite readily and neutralize somewhat the fact that there are such somewhere.
I’m somewhat skeptical that there are
800
such in the USA as I read once . . .
however, the globalists really would be dumb, stupid and incompetent, GIVEN THEIR GOALS, were there really none.
They aren’t THAT dumb, stupid and incompetent.
Hold That TIGER,,,,,

Sounds like you are fairly well informec of a very limited slice of the realities involved.
Outlaw-
Thanks for the reminder. I tell myself this several times a day. This is hard, isn’t it.
I hate having the enemy among us. I’d rather endure WWII than this. Divisions in the work place, in families. It’s hard to love your country when you see such dishonor in the government. This is breaking my heart.
Yep. Go medieval on ‘em. ;-)
This paper examines the growth of government during this century as a result of giving women the right to vote. Using cross-sectional time-series data for 1870 to 1940, we examine state government expenditures and revenue as well as voting by U.S. House and Senate state delegations and the passage of a wide range of different state laws. Suffrage coincided with immediate increases in state government expenditures and revenue and more liberal voting patterns for federal representatives, and these effects continued growing over time as more women took advantage of the franchise. Contrary to many recent suggestions, the gender gap is not something that has arisen since the 1970s, and it helps explain why American government started growing when it did.
