Clinton: Prepare for globalism - a future when America no longer "the biggest dog on the street"

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.

The Traitor-In-Chief speaks almost brazenly now about his agenda being fulfilled.

[confused1]

Picture this...The world is one...all strife is done, we all live in harmony, no one wants for anything...but who will lead this new world of peace and love and be our representative to the Intergalactic Counsel of 12 when the alien ships bring the distinguished Counsel to invite us to join their great Federation? Could it be Bill himself? I hope they didn't bring any young alien interns for the flight...

"....with such extreme habits were "either rich or up to no good." "

Doesn't Bubba fall into this catagory?

[Reagan is King]

If Ramsey Clark isn't on the traitors list please add him ASAP! That anti-war protest was nothing but a commie pinko rally. What a freak show.

[hedgetrimmer]

The quotes are just two of many. The globalists have long planned to make China an economic powerhouse. An American congressman can invest in China and have her investment protected by the US treasury. She can't invest in her own country and have a fail safe investment. Where do you think she will invest? Why are so many congressmen and government officials doing business with China? Do you think they know something we don't?

If the busy anti-American beavers weren't working away at undermining our economy and our way of life we might be able to stay strong, but that just isn't what's happening right now.

Just look at all the anti-war protests that happened over the weekend. The core group organizing them was the World Workers Party. Look at how the media is pushing their viewpoint in the broadcasts. Doesn't it concern you that major media takes the side of known communist agitators like the World Workers Party and ANSWER? Communists are taking a very strong hold in this country, America's freedoms and values are being assaulted from every angle.

Clinton can just rot in he11...the traitor! He set us up for so much of what we're dealing with domestically and globally. Go back to whatever hole you crawled out of, Clinton, and leave us all alone. STOP spreading your lies about how horrible this great country is. STOP putting your own needs above all else. STOP talking, and STOP bashing this wonderful country or our wonderful President George W. Bush.

Just.....go.

His power comes from David (who-would-be-King-of-the-world) Rockefeller and his Council On Foreign Relations/Trilat/GLOBALONEY buddies who are more than happy to trade the future good of America and our U.S.Constitution, for their own selfish, traitorous GREED.

There is rumor that Blozo is Rock-A-Fellas illegitimate child. hmmmm

[Lando Lincoln]

It's really quite incredible to hear a former President speaking about the demise of the USA as we know it. Amazing even for him. What a wretched human being he is.

[John Lenin]

If we are lucky he will come down with incurable AIDS ....

And the witch too ....

[Quix]

His true global tyranny colors bleed through more and more.

Remember, folks, Shrillery Hillary is WORSE!

PLEASE CONSIDER: Printing & PASSING OUT some FREEPCARDS on Shrillery off from doug from upland's THE REAL HILLARY threads Episodes 3 & 5 . . . and help condense more if you are available.

[RISU]

He did is danmned best to help it happen. Fortunately, this Clinton goof ball couldn't make "anything" happen if he wanted to.

[Fiddlstix]

Good Heavens
What a Jerk!

[TheGrimReaper]

What a wretched human being he is

Assuming that he is human, yes.
He "loathes the military"... and acted accordingly for 8 long miserable years, using our people in uniform as a diversion for his perverted whims.
His Sec. of State, Madeline Halfbright, said it was "dangerous" for the U.S. to be the only superpower.
He sold/gave away technology to communists like it was candy.

Hell, where he WILL spend eternity, isn't hot enough for the likes of him and his beast of a wife.

THEIR INTENT is to bring us down to the lowest common denominator.

Some even claim their intent is to reduce the world population to 250,000,000.

. . . to protect the environment and to be easier to manage. . . and to reduce the danger of overthrow from so many unhappy serfs and slaves.

the William J. Clinton Presidential Foundation.

I don't know whether to laugh or vomit. I wonder what the seal or logo of the "Clinton Presidential Foundation" would look like?

[Quix]

I think the group needs their molecules dramatically rearranged . . . and by a process a bit faster than skin cell replenishment

They have been planning the demise of the USA and the rise of their tyranny for a lot longer than the 35 years I've been watching them. But assuming their starting line was 35 years ago--they are a huge percentage of the way toward completion of their plans.

Apart from God, if they kept up the pace of success they've enjoyed so far, none of our grandchildren would have any freedom left to live in . . . if they were left alive at all.

"And which country, exactly, will surpass the US? "

In the commie way of thinking, all countries will be identical. Of course, we all know just how well that works.

Boy that photo tells it all.

God havemercy on us.
