Concurrently, it requires building the conditions for a lasting world peace. This means eventually dismantling the military-industrial and security apparatus which sustains these financial interests, the abolition of NATO and the phasing out of the arms industry.And that sums it up: he's nuts.

I've always thought that the more radical elements here on FR closely resembled the anarchist idiots that attack Starbucks and then feel real good about themselves. You've proved me right. This website is being corrupted.

You believe. The NWO appologists and lackeys have done their job well.
May Big Brother be grateful, smile upon you, and give you peace with your Big Mac. Blessed be the names of Exxon, GM, and Coca-Cola.

Ah, an enemy of the US speaketh out of his nether regions. Give me Exxon over anti-WTO anarchists anyday. Exxon makes my day better with cheaper gas and other petroleum products. Anti-WTO anarchists drive up the cost of living and destroy property in an attempt to enslave or exterminate the rest of us with their insane ideas. Hmm, I wonder if the US military could spare a daisycutter for the next major protest?

The political spectrum is a circle - if you walk far enough to the right you end up on the left. There is no difference between the disenfranchised angries on either side, looking for something or someone to blame for their misery. Except themselves, that is.

Funny how the plans of the WTO engineered world society cabal doesn't seem to bother many at FR?

You missed my point (I hope). The WTO is a prescursor to the NWO one-world government.
To: dighton
yea i thought that was funny too lmao

I thought about trying my hand at a point-by-point refutation, but then I came across this passage...
As amply documented, humanity in the post-Cold War era is undergoing an economic and social crisis of unprecedented scale leading to the rapid impoverishment of large sectors of the world population. National economies are collapsing. Unemployment is rampant; Wall Street banks are "taking over countries" one after the other; regional wars have erupted along strategic gas-oil pipelines, and often behind the various "insurgencies" are powerful corporate interests which coincidentally are also lobbying for trade reform. In most countries the standard of living has collapsed.
...and it became immediately clear to me - he's not talking about the way things are around
here. No, he's obviously decrying the state of the
Martian economy or some such thing. He can't possibly be talking about
this planet...

Anyone with a shred of sanity laughs at NWO conspiracists.

The political spectrum is a circle - if you walk far enough to the right you end up on the left.An all too common misconception due to a simplistic view of realpolitic.
It's a straight line!!
One end is an idealistic benevolent anarchy, the other end is the all-to-common absolute dictatorship, it makes no difference whether it calls itself communist or fascist.
Republicrats are in the middle, flanked by 19th century Liberals on the right, and 21th century Liberals on the left.
Fascists are not on the right!!
Nazi is an acronym for National Socialist Workers Party.

Similarly, the WTO almost neutralizes "with the stroke of the pen" the authority and activities of several agencies of the United Nations including the U.N. Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and the International Labor Organization (ILO).The sky is falling! The sky is falling! What would we do without the UN and International Labor Organization?

You forget GE. Amen!

What the IMF and World Bank fear isn't riots at their conventions; that just distracts antiglobalists and takes their energy away!
What the World Bank most fears is a boycott of its bonds by pension funds and cities - much like the antiapartheid "divestment" crusade of 15-20 years ago. Already, antiglobalists have gotten a few small cities to boycott World Bank bonds - and are now trying to get a giant professors' retirement fund (TIAA-CREF) to boycott them. With the leftism predominant among college faculty, I give that effort excellent chances.
To: rightofrush
idealistic benevolent anarchy
I respectfully disagree - the ideal of the lunatic right seems pretty close to the lunacy of the cultural revolution in China or certain ideas of Trotsky. Hatred of the economically successful, a deep distrust of commerce, business and the market, and a strong desire to impose their "moral" values on their countrymen (or the world).
To: July 4th
Thanks. So many NWO Bush boosters, so little knowlege.
