What Japanese bombers could not do in 1941, politicians and businessmen are doing in 2001: destroying U.S. sovereignty and independence. Their weapons are not sinking ships, but they are sinking American autonomy. Furthermore, a Republican administration has done nothing to circumvent or slow down this Draconian drift toward international government.
Recently, a U.N. official said, "Within 10 years time you're going to see the beginning of an embryonic world order." The official's name is Edward Widmer, and he is president of the Illinois Division of the United Nations Association of the United States. He made his remarks at a gathering of the Bolingbrook Rotary Club just a few days ago. If you think Widmer is simply a wild canary out on a limb by himself, you are very mistaken.
Former newsman, Walter Cronkite, wrote in his book, A Reporter's Life, "A system of world government is mandatory. The proud nations someday will see the light and . yield up their precious sovereignty."
Cronkite also told BBC newsman, Tim Sebastian, "I think we are realizing that we are going to have to have an international rule of law." He added, "We need not only an executive to make international law, but we need the military forces to enforce that law."
Cronkite went on to say, "American people are going to begin to realize that perhaps they are going to have to yield some sovereignty to an international body to enforce world law."
England's Prime Minister, Tony Blair, is just as direct. In a speech given back in 1999 he said, "Globalization has transformed our economies and our working practices. But globalism is not just economic. It is also a political and security phenomenon."
Blair went on to say, "We are all internationalists now, whether we like it or not." He also said, "On the eve of a new Millennium we are now in a new world. We need new rules for international co-operation and new ways of organizing our international institutions." He further said, "Today the impulse towards interdependence is immeasurably greater. We are witnessing the beginnings of a new doctrine of international community."
Remember it was former president, George Bush, Sr., that spoke of Americans swearing loyalty to a "New World Order." His son, George, Jr., feels much the same way. Phyllis Schlafly recently reminded us that, back on April 22 of this year, G.W. signed the Declaration of Quebec City in which he gave a "commitment to hemispheric integration and national and collective responsibility for improving the economic well-being and security of our people."
Obviously, "our people" means the people of the Western Hemisphere, not the people of the United States. Schlafly continued to say, "Bush pledged that the United States will 'build a hemispheric family on the basis of a more just and democratic international order.'" If Congress grants President Bush such unconstitutional Fast Track trade authority (which it has), he will no doubt do exactly what he said he would do: build an international order.
Call it what you want - "New World Order," "International Order," "International Community," "World Law." It all means the end of U.S. sovereignty and independence. Americans need to be aware that power hungry politicians from both parties along with money hungry executives from multinational corporations pose a much greater threat to our liberties than any foreign terrorist does. If our freedoms are destroyed, it likely will not be by heat-seeking missiles from above but by freezing cold hearts from within.
