Ex-PM at centre of 2008 banks rescue suggests taskforce of leaders and health experts

Gordon Brown has urged world leaders to create a temporary form of global government to tackle the twin medical and economic crises caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

The former Labour prime minister, who was at the centre of the international efforts to tackle the impact of the near-meltdown of the banks in 2008, said there was a need for a taskforce involving world leaders, health experts and the heads of the international organisations that would have executive powers to coordinate the response.

A virtual meeting of the G20 group of developed and developing countries, chaired by Saudi Arabia, will be held on Thursday, but Brown said it would have been preferable to have also included the UN security council

No global government will ever be acceptable under any circumstances. America is a unique country, created in unique circumstances. It took the miracle of the Trump Presidency to keep the nation from following the British and European style “democracies” into socialist, social engineering insanity. Whether America will be able to sustain its republic remains to be seen, but it is the world’s last great hope. There are too many envious, rapacious cultures and regimes in the world to ever have any semblance of responsible government. The UN is a disaster, even thought it is mostly toothless. it would be a horror if it had real power.

10 years ago anyone who talked about a plan for World Government was denounced as crazy. Now it’s in your face.

He needs to contemplate the world from a good vantage point. I suggest we send him on a one-way trip to the moon. He’ll have a great view from there.

And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen, the Master Plan for planet earth. If it takes a virus, they’ll launch a virus. If it takes WWIII, they’ll launch WWIII. If it takes police state repression, they’ll launch police state repression. ALL evil in the world can be summed up in Vladimir Lenin’s little dictum - “The ends justify the means”.
