...The triggering mechanism.

Clinton talks on the global economy at N.Y.U.
Former President Bill Clinton called on an audience of students to prepare for a future when America will no longer be "the biggest dog on the street" at the keynote address Tuesday of a New York University forum on globalization.
The current globalized world is not sustainable economically, politically or from a security vantage point, Clinton said at the second annual conference co-sponsored by New York University and the William J. Clinton Presidential Foundation. Clinton spoke to an audience of about 450 students and guests.
"On Sept. 11, 2001, members of Al Quaeda used the forces of globalization - open borders, easy immigration, easy travel, easy access to information technology - to kill 3,100 people from 70 countries in three cities in the U.S.," Clinton said.
There are ways to improve our security without sacrificing civil liberties, Clinton stressed. For starters, our government needs to start using the same kinds of tracking systems employed by direct marketers and credit card companies, he said.
With such technology the government in a short period of time can track people who have multiple addresses on file, such as Sept. 11 ringleader Mohammed Atta, who had 12 addresses registered in the U.S, Clinton said. The government could also monitor people who have accrued a lot of credit card debt, he added, giving the example of the Sept. 11 terrorist who racked up $260,000 of debt on 30 credit cards.
Profiling people according to their movements or debt is much preferable than "profiling people because of their religion or ethnic heritage or whatever else," Clinton said, adding that people with such extreme habits were "either rich or up to no good."
The former president also touched on topics including the nuclear crisis in North Korea, economic initiatives in Africa, the Kyoto protocol on global warming and primary education in Mexico and Brazil. He said that the U.S. must help create a global society with "shared benefits, shared responsibility and shared values."
Clinton acknowledged that, "this is not the sexiest subject on the block." But he tried his best to add some flair with the analogy, "If none of us ever joined anything unless we got our way all the time, nobody would get married."
Students had high marks for the former chief executive.
"He throws out a lot of different tidbits of information about different countries," said Hiss an Baja, a 22-year-old first-year law student from California, adding, "The reason I came to N.Y.U. Law is because it's known as the global law school."
The day featured three panels on important topics in the globalization debate. Panelists included Robert Rubin, former secretary of the Treasury; Sandy Berger, former National Security Advisor to President Clinton; and George Soros, the investor and philanthropist. Moderators included Bernard Shaw, C.N.N.'s former anchor; and Karen DeYoung, associate editor at the Washington Post.

He said this because he is a suck up to the Euroweenies of the world.
He said this, really not reflecting reality, but because it is the en vouge thing to say and believe among the Euroweenies and communist Chinese.
America has to feel bad for being #1... at least according to these nut jobs.
...The triggering mechanism.
Certainly NOT China. Not by a mile.
It is their dream. They want it to be that way. They don't want America to be on top...Just because they don't want it, doesn't make it so.
This kind of talk is nothing more than PC bull$h%t.
DITTO !!

- First, for Bill to be effective as SG of the UN, it would have to happen sometime during the next 8-12 years, before he turns 70 and is upstaged by some other worldwide leftist.
- Second, the single event that would raise Bill's chances the most would be a Hillary Presidency. We Freepers might hate the notion of Bill and Hill holding the SGUN and POTUS roles, but the world would love it. So, Hillary gets elected in 2008, takes office in 2009, and Bill begins his worldwide popularity tour as the heir apparent to whatever moron is currently holding the SGUN job. An alternate scenario has Hillary running well but losing enough primaries during 2008, and not taking office until 2012.
- Bill is nominated by a chorus of African countries (with widespread support from America's black community) and a few of the most leftist European countries. To show that she is "unbiased," Hillary directs the US to abstain.
- Bill is elected and the rest is history.
Those of you with prophetic calendars know that somewhere along the way, Bill negotiates a sham peace treaty between Israel and the Palestinians and the Jews rebuild their temple. These are the key events to watch for. When they do, the fireworks will really begin.
Very few of the American acomplishments of the 20th Century were done without imported brains. Unless America fundementally reforms education from play school to university (and I am not talking vouchers here) America will very quickly fall behind while this century is still young.
Clinton acknowledged that, "this is not the sexiest subject on the block." But he tried his best to add some flair with the analogy, "If none of us ever joined anything unless we got our way all the time, nobody would get married."
What the hell does that have to do with anything???? Why does this sleeze-ball have to boil everything down to sex?? VOMIT, SPIT, hiss. He makes me sick.
He will never be the ruler of the ONE WORLD kumbya-ers. He will be a patsy pal to the ONE WORLD ruler, and he will probably (I'd lay money on it) be UN "big dog" someday.
Post #73 is great!!!!!!!!!!
About all the time I have at the moment.

The Grand War Plan: It’s All Based on a Lie
Corporate Manager of Fairchild Industries, Spokesperson for Wernher Von Braun, Dr. Carol Rosin Von Braun [founder of modern rocket science] told me [in 1974] that the reasons for space-based weaponry were all based on a lie. He said that the strategy was to use scare tactics—that first the Russians, then the terrorists are going to be considered the enemy. The next enemy was asteroids. “The last card is the alien card. We are going to have to build space-based weapons against aliens, and all of it is a lie.”….I was at a meeting in Fairchild Industries in the War Room. The conversation [was] about how they were going to antagonize these enemies and at some point, there was going to be a Gulf War. Now this is 1977!—Video, Disclosure, pp. 255-259.
