Fifty-five years after the founding of the United Nations in 1945,
the heads of state, rulers and princes of this world are coming together
to examine both the successes and failures of the United Nations and to
dialogue about its future and the pressing need to add a “People’s
Parliament” or international representative government to its
structure. Ten blocks from the United Nations another meeting is being
sponsored by the Gorbachev State of the World Forum, which not only
mirrors the goals and objectives of the United Nations but is looking to
help implement them. The speakers at the State of the World include
many heads of United Nations’ agencies and commissions, heads of state,
spiritual leaders, chief executive officers from major corporations and
numerous other global groups. What do these two meetings have in
common?
Globalization.
Globalization has been defined many ways. Basically it is the
tearing down of borders between countries. Over the last thirty years,
political, economic, trade, electronic, and social barriers have been
erased rendering the world one and not separate nation-states, as most
people still believe. This was followed by a philosophical change in
how the world would be governed. What is happening in New York this
week is a merging of all of the various components of globalization
which are coming together under a new entity which they call
“governance.” While they adamantly state it is not world government,
the reader will have to determine for his or herself what is true.
In 1980 President Reagan started the integration of countries by
passing the Depositary Institution Deregulation and Monetary Control
Act, also known as the 1980 Deregulation Act which erased laws
prohibiting Americans from investing outside the United States and
allowing foreigners to invest here. At the same time, the other Group
of Seven countries — Britain, Italy, France, Canada, Japan and Germany
were passing similar laws. This resulted not only in a flurry of global
and foreign mutual funds investing in countries outside of America, but
it created a $2 trillion borderless flow of money, which travels around
the world daily looking for the quickest play or highest return. The
finances of America are being integrated with the finances of the other
countries of the world.
This was followed by the end of the Cold War in 1989 and 1990, when
communism was able to fall in Russia without one bullet being fired.
With its fall, the world became one politically since we are told we
have no enemies to fight. In an interview with Jim Garrison, president
of the Gorbachev State of the World Forum, he told me that Gorbachev was
driven from office when he tried to restructure the Soviet Union by
dragging it kicking and screaming into the globalization age.
Trade barriers between the countries of the world were eliminated in
1992 when Congress passed the 25,000-page General Agreement on Trade and
Tariffs. Borderless trade has given rise to a new powerful actor on the
world stage: the transnational corporation which transcends borders.
From a social and environmental standpoint, the United Nations began
laying a foundational shift in how the world is governed back in the
1970s when they hosted a series of international conferences on the
environment, women’s issues, population reduction, food, and
housing/cities. Twenty years later, the U.N. revisited these issues
with a new set of conferences on the same subjects. The Rio Earth
Summit is pivotal.
In 1992 the United Nations sponsored the Conference on Environment
and Development, called the “Rio Earth Summit.” There a very radical
environmental agenda was unveiled — the effects of which are only now
being felt and understood by the American people. In Rio the United
Nations presented their new environmental philosophy by which the world
should be governed which basically points in the direction of world
government, i.e. the United Nations as caretaker of the world and its
resources. This document known as “Agenda 21” perverts Genesis,
Chapter 1, by insisting that the earth has dominance over man instead of
man having dominance over the earth. This new philosophy is the worship
of mother earth, “Gaia.” These ideas now constitute the new way in which
the world is being managed.
In March 1993, President Clinton announced his program to reinvent
the government. He said, “We intend to redesign, to reinvent, to
reinvigorate the entire national government.” To do this, the
administration set up the National Performance Review which said that
power needed to be transferred from Congress to the executive branch and
the bureaucracy. The new core of our own government is public-private
partnerships.
A public-private partnership is a partnership (business arrangement
which has profit as its goal) between government and business, along
with non-governmental organizations who perform the daily chores of the
partnership. The word “public” refers to government — local, county,
state, federal, and international levels of government — while
“private” refers to non-governmental groups such as foundations,
non-profits, corporations and individuals. For example, when a
public-private partnership owns your sewer facility, that asset has just
transferred from government (which you used to own) to this new
partnership. As a taxpayer, you not only lose an asset but the
objective of that partnership changes from service to profit and you
become a customer instead of a citizen. In this structure, it is the
corporation which is being empowered as they take on “governance”
responsibilities which used to be part of government’s
responsibilities. As power shifts to the deepest pockets (the
corporation), the governmental structure of America has changed.
All across America public-private partnerships are being established
that solidify the government/corporation as ruler. One of the
organizations facilitating this change is the National Council for
Public-Private Partnerships in Washington, D.C. Interestingly enough,
public private partnership has been the focus of the United Nations and
was publicly unveiled in 1996 at the Habitat II Conference and has been
integrated since that time in future conferences and Programmes of
Action. At Al Gore’s first Global Conference on Reinventing Government,
over a dozen countries came to testify how they were reinventing
government — we are all doing the same thing. Public-private
partnerships!
What is globalization? It is the blending together of economies,
people, laws, politics, monies and social ethics into one. The United
Nations has stated that the founders in 1945 set up an open and
cooperative system for an international world which has made
globalization possible. The United Nations itself is a picture of
globalization. When all of the nations of the world formed the U.N.,
they also allowed it to form on the international level counterparts to
their own governmental structure: finance with the International
Monetary Fund and World Bank; education with the United Nations
Economic, Scientific and Cultural Organization; agriculture with the
Food and Agriculture Organization; labor with the International Labor
Organization; the Supreme Court with the World Court; and Department of
State with the General Assembly. Over the last 55 years, the United
States has sent its own representatives from government to sit in
plenary sessions and debate global issues of finance, agriculture,
trade, food, health, education, and state issues. Our government has
increasingly relinquished its power over these areas as it has
participated in United Nations deliberations as they have rendered to
the United Nations federal authority.
The various world leaders who have spoken at the Gorbachev State of
the World Forum talk about “new thinking” and “new institutions” which
are animated by (public-private) partnerships and new actors.
When the Liberty Bell is rung at 9:30 Wednesday morning, Sept. 6,
perhaps we had better take note that it has nothing to do with
individual nation-states but everything to do with globalization and
governance.
The Millennium Assembly is not the Constitutional Congress. It
signals a major shift in world affairs and in our relationship with our
own government. It is the desire of the United Nations Millennium
Assembly to provide the citizens of the world with representative
government at the international level by erecting a chamber which
corresponds to our House of Representatives to augment the Senate which
corresponds to the United Nations General Assembly where nation-state
legislators meet. By adding a second chamber to the U.N. structure for
non-governmental organizations, transnational corporations, spiritual
leaders, and others, the United Nations is changing the world order of
society. Not since Babylon and Rome has the world been knit together as
one.
This alone signals a very fundamental change to our Constitution and
to our form of government. The Millennium Assembly is the globalization
of “representative government,” one of the most sacred components of
what our Forefathers provided us with.
Joan Veon has done extensive research on the United Nations and the organization’s agenda and has attended dozens of U.N. conferences.
Hey, Joe, how about the women of January 6?
