When Does It Become World Goverment?
When does it become world government?
By Henry Lamb
There are certain similarities between Hitler's quest for global dominance, and the U.N.'s quest for global governance:
- Hitler dreamed his dream long before the rest of the world was aware of it.
- Hitler gathered around him an inner-circle of trusted, like-minded individuals.
- Hitler consolidated his power base before expanding outward.
- Hitler achieved his goals - until he confronted the United States.
World government was an articulated dream a century ago. It was the United States that foiled the first effort - the League of Nations. The world government dreamers, however, gained control of the U.S. government after the great depression, and created a second effort to achieve world government - the United Nations.
Since 1945, the dreamers within the United Nations have been gathering like-minded individuals and consolidating their power base. The outward expansion began about a decade ago, when the U.N.'s forces began mobilizing through an unprecedented series of world conferences:
- on children in New York (1990);
- on the environment in Rio de Janeiro (1992);
- on human rights in Vienna (1993);
- on world trade in Uruguay (1994);
- on world population in Cairo (1994);
- on social development in Copenhagen (1995);
- on sustainable development in New York (1995);
- on women in Beijing (1995);
- on human settlements in Istanbul (1996);
- on global warming in Geneva (1996);
- on the International Criminal Court in Rome (1998);
and on to the Millennium Assembly and Summit in 2000.
The U.N.-endorsed and funded Commission on Global Governance convened in 1993, and in 1995, made public the detailed plan to achieve world government, with the U.N. at the helm.
No one paid much attention.
No one paid much attention to Hitler either, until March 11, 1938, when Hitler invaded Austria. Three days after Hitler invaded Poland, on September 1, 1939, Britain declared war on Germany. The United States began paying attention.
In the comparison to Hitler, world government is somewhere between Austria and Poland. The U.N. made its intentions known with the publication of the CGG report, Our Global Neighborhood, as Hitler made his intentions known when German forces invaded Austria.
When the United Nations gains independent financing, freeing itself from dependence upon the United States, the U.N. will have "invaded Poland," so to speak.
The CGG report is quite specific in its plan to achieve independent financing for the U.N. It calls for consolidation of all international financial and development institutions, under the administrative arm of the U.N. It calls for global taxation - on currency exchange, fossil fuels, and a host of other tax-targets.
The Millennium Summit endorsed these ideas in very generalized language in its Millennium Declaration. A special High Level Panel on Financing for Development was created. A preliminary report issued by the Panel's chairman last September, embodied all the recommendations of the CGG and the Millennium Declaration.
The panel's final draft report issued recently, has softened the language considerably, but still embraces the themes of the CGG report. This special panel is also calling for continuation as a perpetual institution to continue working toward the CGG goals.
Sooner or later the U.N. will achieve independent financing, unless the United States realizes that "Hitler is at Poland's border," and takes action now to stop the invasion. If we again procrastinate, hoping that Hitler will be a good boy, it may take as much effort to defeat world government as it did to defeat Hitler.
There are also differences between Hitler and the U.N. Hitler used bombs and bullets; the U.N. uses propaganda and persuasion. Hitler gave his soldiers much armament and little pay; the U.N. gives their soldiers much pay, and makes up for deficient armament by bloating the bureaucracy.
Hitler's army bit off more than they could chew when they encountered the United States. This too, could be a difference. It is not at all clear that the United States is still willing to defend its sovereignty; many Americans believe that the U.N. is a "good boy," that will not conquer the world.
With each new U.N. treaty, and world conference, the U.N. expands its sphere of influence and consolidates a little more power. Austria, Poland, Belgium, France - when does it become world war?
