"Imagine there's no countries," John Lennon warbled in his inane song "Imagine." "It isn't hard to do / Nothing to kill or die for ... Imagine all the people / Living life in peace / You may say that I'm a dreamer / But I'm not the only one / I hope someday you'll join us / And the world will be as one."
They believed in those pathetic dreams in Europe. In the aftermath of World War II, facing the prospect of Soviet domination and wanting to keep the defeated Germans from completing a World War trilogy, the European community, aided by the United States, created the European Coal and Steel Community. A federal Europe was the goal; the original plans included a European Defense Community and a European Political Community, both of which fell through. Eventually, this grew into the European Economic Community.
The European Union was the successor to the EEC, formed in 1993. The current EU members include Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, German, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
There was only one problem with this notion: These states had little in common. They did not share a common language; they didn't share common customs (other than, perhaps, a deep-rooted history of anti-Semitism); they didn't even share basic economic principles. This created potential for tremendous conflict within the Union.
The most obvious success for the EU, however, was the Euro -- the official currency for Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia and Spain. It is the second largest reserve currency on the planet, after the dollar.
With the integrated economic community, however, came a serious problem: If any of the member states spent beyond their capacities, the others would have to pick up the slack. And that's precisely what happened. Greece is bankrupt. So is Spain. So is Ireland. The bleed-over is corrupting the economies of the other Euro members.
This week, the Euro members got together to attempt to solve the crisis. Many of the members are no longer interested in bailing out Greece -- they are sick of the redistributive socialism of the eurozone. They don't want to have to create slush funds for the different countries to raid based on how much they feel like spending. The grand Lennon-esque experiment is failing. As the Financial Times reported, "officials described mounting concerns that the summit will fall well short of market expectations."
The Dutch government will fall unless the crisis is solved. So will the Italian government. So will the entire EU, according to Alan Greenspan. "At the outset of the creation of the euro in 1999," Greenspan said, "it was expected that the southern eurozone economies would behave like those in the north; the Italians would behave like Germans. They didn't. Instead, northern Europe fell into subsidizing southern Europe's excess consumption, that is, its current account deficits." In short, said Greenspan, the countries comprising the EU are incompatible. "The effect of the divergent cultures in the eurozone has been grossly underestimated."
Lennon's one-world concept was a communist one. "Imagine no possessions / I wonder if you can / No need for greed or hunger / A brotherhood of man / Imagine all the people / Sharing all the world." Lennon got his wish in soft form in the creation of the European Union. The result: class warfare in the extreme -- a racial powder keg ready to blow -- and full-scale bankruptcy. Now the EU will revert to what it has always been: a loose agglomeration of nations, often in conflict with one another. That's the way the world works. That's the way the world will always work. And that is not a bad thing. Better that some nations stand for individualism, freedom and entrepreneurialism than that we all stand for redistributionism and the spineless multiculturalism that results in destruction of standards.
A One World Government will include Muslims, which means that eventually all non-believers will be murdered.
No thanks!
If there are no countries, where do you call “home”?
Democracy is the road to socialism. -Karl Marx
Democracy is indispensable to socialism. The goal of socialism is communism. -V.I. Lenin
The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism .-Karl Marx
“If there are no other countries, where can you flee to?”
You can’t.... and THAT makes domination INEVITIBLE AND INESCAPABLE.
However... Socialists call it equality.
Thatcher was right.
This was inevitable and predictable from the very beginning. A couple of dozen countries with hatreds for one another that went back centuries, different philosophy s, languages, religions. You name it. That it took this long is amazing in itself. The thing that has kept the “UNITED STATES of AMERICA together for so long, Civil War notwithstanding, is language, culture and a general adherence to a Christian philosophy. Those who would destroy us will do everything to destroy those fundamental legs of out society. You see it in play every day.
No where to run.
Then we can possibly look forward to a world of ‘Logan’s Run’ in real life
and enough control over mind and body to make one wish they were dead. IMO
Yeah.. Imagine no Hell below us, above us only sky... no possessions... no religion...
No thanks. Pol Pot imagined that for Cambodia. It didn’t go particularly well.
My family has been in the US for 4 generations but we still keep in touch with the relative in Europe. This is what I’ve learned:
1) The Polish side hates the Russians, REALLY hates to Ukrainians and doesn’t trust the Germans.
2) The French fear the Germans, loathe the British and believe the Spanish and Italians are filthy people.
3) The Irish hate EVERYBODY who is not Irish.
4) The Italians think the Greeks are pigs, the Croats are modern day Nazis and the Swizz are snobs.
What a One-World Government Looks Like

—This was inevitable and predictable from the very beginning.—
Reminds me of some weddings I’ve been to, and the subsequent marriages followed by divorce.
And the analogy fits pretty nicely, actually. Anybody that really knew them knew they should not have gotten married. This surprises nobody that was paying attention.
And the meaning of Salaam (peace) is the absence of opposition to Islam.
From what I have seen of people, I don’t think some form of world government would ever work. Thinking people, as opposed to writers of silly songs, understand the sheer military power that it would take to suppress the identities of the worlds cultures. It is a Satanic vision to destroy the cultures of the world. It would take a very brutal heavy boot on the neck of the world to impose a Pax Romana. The Romans only could control part of their known world. We did in this country get the Indian tribes to quit butchering each other for entertainment, but even that was a long process and many of the tribes still exist as a subculture. I think the only chance would be the invention of a new weapon, and this time, in the hands of a very malevolent government. The United States was the only country that was in that position briefly in human history and fortunately for the world it was us and not the Nazis who had the bomb.
excellent post
It’s not our fault that nobody is as awesome as the Irish.
Agreed. I remember talkshow host, Chuck Harder, made this point back in the 1990s where you have 1500 separate cultures in the world. There is no way you’re going to “get them to sing the Coca-Cola song in perfect harmony.” (as he put it) Sure you might use force but it will fail eventually as things fall apart. If you think how the Islamic world uses a lot of IED’s now, it will skyrocket as everyone and has brother starts using them. Look how Afghanistan fought the Russians or the Viet-Cong/NVA the US and take it to a global scale. You might have cultures that are generally enemies team up to fight the NWO much like how both sides in the Irish conflict took potshots at the British.
The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism .-Karl Marx
Interesting that Karl Marx said that when Islam says basically the same thing about “peace”, that it is submission to Islam.
If the good people end up losing the world to the socialists and the muzzies, those two will obviously have to go to war with each other. Who will win?
This is human nature.
I saw it in Asia in the navy years ago: The Japanese hated and looked down on everybody except the Chinese, whom they merely hated, but respected somewhat. Everybody hated the Japanese. The chinese looked down on everybody. The Filipinos hated the Japanese, of course, and resented the highly successful Chinese in their midst, and everyone around Asia thought the Filipinos were subhuman. Any adjacent countries with different languages and cultures typically hated and suspected each other.
Amongst Buddhist temples established in the US for Southeast Asia refugees and immigrants after Vietnam, the Vietnamese would only go if the temple had a Thai or Vietnamese monk, Thais would only go to a Thai monk, Cambodians only to a Vietnamese monk, Burmese only a Burmese monk, or a Thai monk in a pinch.
In the hospitals in Honolulu, the Japanese immigrants and descendants would only go to Kapiolani, with a largely Japanese medical staff, the Chinese and the Filipinos only to St. Francis with a largely Chinese medical staff.
A one world government is only the dream of Marxists and Muslims, who love to dominate and tell others how to live, as well as naive useful idiots drenched in quasi-Marxist dreams. When an institution such as the UN is finally created, we see it attracting only the corrupt and the power hungry and the useful idiots.
