Stoller introduces Salon readers to Clarence Streit, a Rhodes Scholar-turned elite journalist who, in 1939, published an influential but now scarcely-remembered tome, Union Now: A Proposal for an Atlantic Federal Union of the Free. In his book, Streit proposed to federate the United States, Canada, the “freedom-loving” nations of Europe, and other English-speaking countries like Australia and New Zealand under an international government designed along the lines of the U.S. government.

I'm sure the protection of the Bill of Rights, including the Second Amendment, would then be extended to all these other countries.

(Do I really need a /sarc tag?)

Here is Streits bio. He made a good living out of his Union Now proposal. He died in , appropriately, Washington DC. Clarence Kirschmann Streit (German pronunciation: [ʃtʀaɪ̯t]; January 21, 1896 – July 6, 1986) was a journalist and Atlanticist who played a prominent role in the Atlantic Movement. Streit, of Palatine German origin, moved with his family to Missoula, Montana in 1911. In Missoula, he founded the Konah, a high school paper that is now one of the oldest in the United States in continuous publication.[2] While a student at Montana State University (now the University of Montana), he volunteered for military service during World War I, serving in an Intelligence unit in France and assisting the American delegation at the Conference of Versailles. He was a Rhodes scholar at University of Oxford in 1920. He married Jeanne Defrance in Paris in 1921, after which he became a foreign correspondent for the New York Times. In 1929, he was assigned to cover the League of Nations in Switzerland, where he witnessed the League's slow disintegration and collapse. That experience, coupled with the rise of totalitarian regimes in Europe, convinced him that mankind's best hope was a federal union of democracies, modeled on American federalism. This led him to write Union Now, a book advocating the political integration of the democracies of Western Europe (including their colonies) and the other English-speaking countries at that time (the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa). The book was published in 1938, on the eve of World War II.[3] It had sold over 300,000 copies by 1972.[4] Soon after the book's publication, Streit founded Federal Union, Inc. (later renamed the Association to Unite the Democracies) to promote his vision. In 1949, with William Clayton and Owen Roberts, Streit founded the Atlantic Union Committee, advocating the transformation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) into a political entity. The Streit Council, a successor organization to the Association to Unite the Democracies, was named after him.

Within 5-10 minutes you could go find quotes from Popes, Presidents, Prime Ministers and many very powerful men from the past few generations talking about a NWO and global gov’t. This isn’t cracking the enigma code or paranoia or conspiracy theory. It’s a conspiracy and it’s a fact.

I have a very poor record of trying to wake people up through the years. One of the reasons for failure is it sounds too crazy to be true even though the evidence is easy to confirm. Some people feel powerless to stop what’s going on so they don’t want to think about it. Also, it might be scary to others so there’s a powerful defence mechanism that kicks in and they deny any such plan has been in the works.

The evil one has come to steal, kill and destroy. The globalists aren’t being driven by the spirit of God, much the opposite, so what do you think they have in store for us? Wake up, wake up!
