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.

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

I'm sure Clinton would like to see the U.S. as a Buddy snuffling the crotch of despotism.

[Quix]

What a wretched piect of slug sh*t he is.

[hedgetrimmer]

See this thread.

Yeah, they're so advanced they have to buy their fighter jets from Russia and can't even put a man in space - and the US did that 40+ years ago!!

[Quix]

Emotionally, it's easy to agree with you.

Experientially,

him having to face himself and all his evil deeds to others--millions of others--to face all that alone for eternity without relief would be quite sufficient horror.

Imagine him being supernaturally inside all his victim's minds and emotions and physical pains that he's caused--over and over and over and over and over.

His chickens will come home to roost quite impactfully.

Shrillery's will be worse.

Dilldo is evil--exceeding, whitewashed, vain, sadistic, arrogant evil.

Shrillery is the same and more condensed several times over.

I spoke with a NASA engineer a few months ago. NASA is concerned that China will beat the US to Mars. They have an active space program and we don't.

We can't sit on our laurels as we have since 1969 and expect that no country will surpass our acheivments!

China or Russia will beat us to Mars using our tax money and stolen technologies.

If we are to stay free we must keep our edge, and I have been trying to explain, it is being eaten away with the help of traitors in our government, and apathetic citizens.

In the history of the world, well equipped well funded armies win wars. It doesn't matter that much they haven't developed the technology themselves.

[Quix]

Perhaps we could have a competition.

Then buy up some sign sized land plots around Dilldo's library and post the top 3 designs. We might have trouble sanitizing them enough to be public signs.

"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."

260,000 into 30 credit cards equals.......$8666.67 in debt per card. That's not much.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thank you for the heads up!

[Quix]

Certainly he'd be delighted to be that.

But he has very stiff competition at the moment--his so called wife.

She'd castrate him in a flash at the neck or other places to step ahead in that race.

I don't think the puppet masters consider them slick or polished enough. They might hand out North America or at most the Western Hemisphere? I shrudder to think they'd give the globe to them. But actually, someone worse is no doubt slated for that role.

[Quix]

Not planning to advertise it in church,

but you capture my seDiments on it well.

[Quix]

Yes, they could . . .

Shrillery.

[Quix]

The doc is on FR and the DISCLOSURE site. I'll track both links down shortly.

[Quix]

I would expect this to multiply geometrically.

The CHINESE ARE EXCEEDINLY PATIENT AND METHODICAL . . . and relentless.

[Quix]

I pray you are right.

Have also prayed that God would make a public example out of him . . .

somewhat akin to the example made of the Roman ruler who accepted the mass's acclaim that he was a god.

. . . . worms ate him immediately and publically right then and there . . . I think Dilldo is an excellent candidate.

And Shrillery a better one.

[canuck_conservative]

Russia ain't going anywhere beyond Earth, they're broke.

China - well, they've still got a lot to learn about earth-orbit, docking maneuvers, rendezvous techniques, etc., all of which are necessary prerequisites to any long-range space trip. But that whole argument smells like NASA's attempt at fundraising-by-threat.

Once again: China, to date, hasn't even sent an UNMANNED space probe to the Moon or Mars - again something that the US pulled off 40+ years ago!! ALWAYS take a totalitarian country's boasts with a lot of skepticism!!

[Travis McGee]

Frankly I think that arch traitors merit the Benito Mussolini finale.

[Quix]

I sure hope so--as bloody as that would be.

But I think it depends on timing and a lot on prayer and a lot on how the righteous live day by day as examples. For example--it's very difficult to get people to even try to print and distribute 3 X 5 cards about Shrillery's evil deeds and sayings.

If the puppet masters are patient enough, the rot will have encroached and eroded enough souls that the percentage of freedom fighters will be greatly lessened.

[hedgetrimmer]

Yep, they are looking ahead to the next thousand years.

Many American citizens just don't seem to care about our posterity, I think.
