If I allow myself to go deep into “full conspiracy” mode, I ask myself: Who are the Globalists? Who are they really? How long have they been around?

From a Globalist perspective, I think the three big disasters have been:

1) WWI and the destruction of monarchies in much of Europe.
2) The French Revolution and the destruction of monarchy in France and (perhaps) the diminution of the Church in France.
3) The Thirty Years War – the Hapsburgs lost and Nation States arose under the concept of Westphalian Sovereignty, named after the Peace of Westphalia which ended the war.

Who are the Globalists? I think they are old, rich families that want to end the concept of nationalism and replace it with a hereditary ruling class that controls Europe and beyond.

I do not think the Hapsburgs are saviors. They may not actually be the Globalists who haunt my dreams, but I don’t think they are saviors.

I disagree. The globalists of today are largely the remnants of international communism -- men like George Soros. A family like the Habsburgs is much too Catholic and out in the open for this crowd. Remember, the globalists hate Christianity and hate operating openly.
