Kofi Annan
2 October 2002-Urging efforts to make worldwide integration an inclusive force, United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan today called for a "globalization of community."
Addressing the Yale Center for the Study of Globalization, Mr. Annan stressed the need "to create a wider, more expansive definition of our duties to our fellow men and women." He pointed out that this is an imperative, not a luxury, as today's world "demands that we tear down the walls in our own minds as well - those separating us from them, rich from poor, white from black, Christian from Muslim from Jew - so that we are able to recognize the untold ways in which we can all benefit from cooperation and solidarity across lines of nationality, race or economic development."
The Secretary-General called on those present to "rethink what belonging means, and what community means, in order to be able to embrace the fate of distant peoples, and realize that globalization's glass house must be open to all if it is to remain secure."
To achieve this, leaders must make the case for helping the poor and disenfranchised. "Either we help the outsiders in a globalized world out of a sense of moral obligation and enlightened self-interest, or we will find ourselves compelled to do so tomorrow, when their problems become our problems, in a world without walls," he warned.
Drawing lessons from last year's 11 September terrorist attacks against the United States, Mr. Annan said the global reaction offered hope. "The sight of people gathering in cities in every part of the world from every religion to mourn - and to express solidarity with the people of the United States - proved more eloquently than any words that terrorism is not an issue that divides humanity, but one that unites it."
While acknowledging that the past year had seen a dramatic rise of intolerance, he said acts of bigotry and ignorance represented the "ugly faces" of an exclusive globalization. "An inclusive globalization must address these ills," he said.
While the primary victims of the 11 September attacks were the innocent civilians who lost their lives, and the families who now grieve for them, the Secretary-General pointed out that peace, tolerance, mutual respect, human rights, the rule of law and the global economy were all among the casualties of the terrorists' acts.
"Just as a concerted international response can make the work of terrorists much harder to accomplish, so should the unity born of this tragedy bring all nations together in defence of the most basic right - the right of all peoples to live in peace and security," he said. "An inclusive globalization will be central to achieving this fundamental goal."
Is he referring to his own organization, the UN? The examples appear to represent the UN.
Others have claimed that the September 11 attacks are/will be used to push the Globalist agenda, and look at what is happening.
It looks like end-time Biblical prophecy is speeding right along.
Sure is. Better keep those eyes looking up, my friend.
He IS NOT...not unless you consider normal trade agreements to be globalism...WHICH THEY AREN'T.
CLINTON IS THE GLOBALIST!! THE TINFOIL HAT THING ABOUT PRESIDENT GEORGE H.W. BUSH BEING A GLOBALIST OPENED THE DOOR FOR THE LAST REAL GOBALIST USURPER IN THE WHITE HOUSE, LEADER OF THE THIRD WAY MOVEMENT BUBBA CLINTON. Al is a member of the Third Way too. So's Hillary.
Yeah....and it wasn't the UN that was attacked...Kofi would have us believe it was the world that was attacked. Kofi is lying. FREEDOM was attacked at it's pillar, the United States.
There is HUGE difference.
There is no longer any reasoning nor truth in the usage of the words 'conspiracy theorist's,' concerning the NWO/globalisation/globalization/New World Order/Global Community.
As it is an impossibility of any conspiracy as a declaration has been outright. And there are no longer any right-winged, NWO theories even possible as it is all presented as facts here (Scroll down and read the facts.) Sadly there is no possibility of a conspiracy only outright facts.
5 ...(in all seriousness)
Who knows what colours they are implementing of the rainbow from one day to the next.
What is the fine line between NATO troops and the United Nations troops and the United States troops is a good question.
He sure will. Look at the description of the anti-Christ.
Anti-God
Maginifies himself above all others
Claims he is God (not publically -- yet)
Sinfull
Liar
Decietful
And, he is , if we're nearing the end times, a man who is now holding great power via his people skills.
He will be a self-elected leader. He will volenteer his services rather than be officially elected to the position of world leader.
He will decieve many through his lieing toung.
Will have a religion based on man (political correctness) instead of God.
He will gain ( or arise out of) his power through the revived Roman Empire, the EU. He lives there, no?
He will bring peace through his religion, a form of Godliness, but lack the power of it. ("Share the wealth).
He will become a horrable dictator when someone tries to take him out, and he becomes partialy paralized on one side. He will demonize the right wing, or the moral majority. They will be his scapegoat for his rage.
My hope is that this charter will be a kind of Ten Commandments, a "Sermon on the Mount," that provides a guide for human behavior toward the environment in the next century and beyond.

Pretty frightening stuff, aye? They're re-writing God.
Probably. Clinton gave a speech saying the only way America will have peace is to share it's wealth.
This is great, coming from Mr. Money-Grubber himself.
