In a sweeping move that has garnered surprisingly little
attention this week the United States and the European Union
have signed up to a new transatlantic economic partnership
that will see regulatory standards "harmonized"
and will lay the basis for a merging of the US and EU into
one single market, a huge step on the path to a new globalized
world order.
The BBC
reported from the Summit in Washington on Monday:
The two sides agreed to set up an "economic
council" to push ahead with regulatory convergence
in nearly 40 areas, including intellectual property, financial
services, business takeovers and the motor industry.
Skipping over what the fall out from a single
Western market will be, the BBC simply announced "The
aim is to increase trade and lower costs." before moving
swiftly on to analyse what this means in terms of global
warming.
While the masses are being whipped up into
a never ending frenzy over climate change at every given
opportunity, hardcore political actions that will affect
the lives of everyone on the planet in the here and now
are being skated over with little or no attention being
paid to them.
The proponents and architects of a one world
order have worked long and hard behind the scenes for a
long time pushing a gradual erosion of national sovereignty
via a harmonization of all areas of life, economic, social,
cultural and environmental.
Such harmonization and elimination of diversity
is the only way to maximize the profit of the few at the
expense of the many, while maintaining tight controls over
society as a whole in order for a long continuation of that
status quo.
The global corporate elite are the only ones
who will benefit from essentially wiping out the free market
and eliminating economic competition across nations.
The EU has long been used as a tool for such
harmonizing globalization and has now reached the point
at which it has become a supranational federal government
for Europe. Over the years, what was originally sold as
a simple free trade treaty has slowly been built from the
bottom up into an all encompassing monolithic authority
over the entire region.
The areas it now seeks to dominate also include
public health, social policy, transport, justice, agriculture,
fisheries, energy, economic and social cohesion, the environment,
internal and external trade, and consumer protection.
It has recently been highlighted that European
globalists such as Britain's Tony Blair and Germany's Angela
Merkel are seeking to implement by stealth areas of the
EU constitution regardless of its blanket rejection by voters.
Senior
British Cabinet sources have warned that they are also
pushing hard for Brussels to be given a full-time unelected
president, who would serve a five year term and speak as
the voice of Europe on the world stage.
It is commonly accepted that reforms to strengthen
the European Parliament, scheduled
to be implemented before 2009, could undermine the ability
of member states to opt out of EU laws, as Britain does
at present, effectively ending national sovereignty.
In their important history of the EU,
The Great Deception, British authors Christopher Booker
and Richard North, concluded that the 27 member nations
now entangled in the union have ceded their sovereignty
in a carefully planned stealth operation. They grudgingly
credit european globalists with accomplishing "a slow-motion
coup d’etat: the most spectacular coup d’etat
in history."
The authors of The Great Deception summarized the effect
of the Treaty of Rome: "Thus did the central deception
of the whole story become established. From now on, the
real agenda, political integration, was to be deliberately
concealed under the guise of economic integration. Building
Europe was to be presented as a matter of trade and jobs."
In addition dissidents and outcasts such as Vladimir
Bukovksy have warned that an elite plan has long existed
whereby the EU would be hijacked and transformed into a
Soviet style Socialist superstate that would eliminate the
individual nation state's power and create a governing body
with no accountability or direct representation.
In 2003 the BBC uncovered incredible archived documents
which confirmed that both the EU and its single currency,
the Euro, were the brainchild of the secretive Bilderberg
Group. Some 50 years BEFORE the implementation of the
European single currency, Bilderberg, now infamous as the
secret elite hand behind world events, had drawn up the
plans.

In addition to the EU, an
agenda for a North American Union is now beyond doubt
and is well on course according to the internal policy documents
of its unelected legislators, the Council on Foreign Relations.
The CFR's North American Union mirrors Bilderberg's
European Union. In the CFR's document, Building
a North American Community, mention is given to the
Bilderberg group in a recommendation that private bodies
be formed to direct policy between Canada, Mexico, and the
United States. The document states:
"To ensure a regular injection of creative energy
into the various efforts related to North American integration,
the three governments should appoint an independent body
of advisers. This body should be composed of eminent persons
from outside government, appointed to staggered multiyear
terms to ensure their independence. Their mandate would
be to engage in creative exploration of new ideas from a
North American perspective and to provide a public voice
for North America. A complementary approach would be to
establish private bodies that would meet regularly or annually
to buttress North American relationships, along the lines
of the Bilderberg..."
Very much like the EU, provisions for a NAU such as NAFTA
and GATT were sold at their inception as free trade agreements.
As time has progressed we have witnessed the birth of the
"Security and Prosperity
Partnership", a treaty, which seems to be a little
more than a simple economic agreement, between leaders of
the US, Mexico and Canada that has been agreed without Congressional
oversight.
A Canadian
report has described the SPP as "an international
framework for trilateral and bilateral cooperation in North
America" that is "not a formal international treaty"
or "an overarching binding legal agreement." But
what is an "international framework" that commits
U.S. officials from various federal agencies to working
with officials of two other countries? Why is such a process
not subjected to congressional scrutiny and approval?
Last September we reported that Journalist Jerome Corsi
had received the first documents pertaining to a FOIA request
asking for full disclosure of the SPP office in its activities
towards creating a Pan
American Union.
The
documents show that a wide range of US administrative
law is being re-written in stealth under this program to
"integrate" and "harmonize" with administrative
law in Mexico and Canada, just as has become commonplace
within the EU.
The documents contain references to upwards of 13 working
groups within an entire organized infrastructure that has
drawn from officials within most areas of administrative
government including U.S. departments of State, Homeland
Security, Commerce, Treasury, Agriculture, Transportation,
Energy, Health and Human Services, and the office of the
U.S. Trade Representative.
Corsi also
reported that at a recent high-level confab in Banff,
an assistant U.S. secretary of state, Thomas A. Shannon
, chaired a panel that featured a presentation by Prof.
Robert Pastor, author of a book promoting the development
of a North American union as a regional government and the
adoption of the amero as a common monetary currency to replace
the dollar and the peso.
Just a conspiracy theory? Not according to Steve Previs
of Jefferies International who stated on CNBC, "I think
one thing for people who are dollar based need to focus
on is the Amero, that's the one thing that nobody is talking
about that I think is going to have a big impact... on everybody's
life in Canada, the U.S. and Mexico..."
A global crash, predicted by former World Bank
chief economist and nobel prize winner Joseph
Stiglitz, and a totally devalued dollar that can barely
rival the peso are greasing the skids for a single North American
currency. This spells disaster for all Americans who wish
to maintain their standard of living and not find themselves
barefoot on the street in a bread queue.
The decline of the economy in the US is being
caused by the very predatory globalist policies of the IMF
and World Bank that are still presented to us as the solution
for economic turmoil. These two globalist vampires have drained
the third world dry, and are now focusing their attention
on enslaving the developed world.
The single currency and a 'new economic order'
is a major step on the road to global governance. Europe already
has its own strong single currency, while the dollar's days
seem to be numbered. When money is being printed by a private
corporation is it any surprise to see a push for a merger
with other countries' currencies?
Talk has long been of a global currency by 2018
if plans go accordingly. A 1988 famous cover of The Economist
emphasized this, depicting a phoenix standing atop burning
paper money symbolizing its rise out of their destruction,
with the words "Get ready for a world currency"
next to it.
The article carried in The Economist, titled "Get Ready
for the Phoenix," stated that, "THIRTY years from
now, Americans, Japanese, Europeans, and people in many other
rich countries, and some relatively poor ones will probably
be paying for their shopping with the same currency."
The article went on to state that sovereignty
will be lost with the advent of the new currency, but that
trends towards globalization are already doing away with it
anyway.
"The phoenix zone would impose
tight constraints on national governments. There would be
no such thing, for instance, as a national monetary policy.
The world phoenix supply would be fixed by a new central
bank, descended perhaps from the IMF. The world inflation
rate - and hence, within narrow margins, each national inflation
rate- would be in its charge. Each country could use taxes
and public spending to offset temporary falls in demand,
but it would have to borrow rather than print money to finance
its budget deficit. With no recourse to the inflation tax,
governments and their creditors would be forced to judge
their borrowing and lending plans more carefully than they
do today. This means a big loss of economic sovereignty,
but the trends that make the phoenix so appealing are taking
that sovereignty away in any case. Even in a world of more-or-less
floating exchange rates, individual governments have seen
their policy independence checked by an unfriendly outside
world."
"Pencil in the phoenix for around 2018,
and welcome it when it comes," the article concludes.
In 2004 Robert Mundell, the Nobel-prize winning
economist often credited with paving the way to the European
single currency, called
for a global currency.
In an interview with French paper Libération,
Mundell said: "With the emergence of the euro and its
instability against the dollar, Europe, the United States
and the Asian powers should come together and create a new
international monetary system."
In 2006 the scandal-ridden and highly secretive
Bank For International Settlements, considered to be the world's
top central banking policy, released a policy paper that called
for the end of national currencies in favor of a global
model of currency formats.
The BIS is a branch of the of the Bretton-Woods
International Financial architecture and closely allied with
the Bilderberg Group. It is controlled by an inner elite that
represents all the world's major central banking institutions.
John Maynard Keynes, perhaps the most influential economist
of all time, wanted it closed down as it was used to launder
money for the Nazis in World War II.
It appears we are now seeing the slow realization
of a gloabal economic system with a single currency.
The end game of such regionalizing harmonization
is of course a global government.
It has long been recognized that an instant
world government would be roundly rejected by the masses and
that a stepping stone agenda, a stealth implementation of
a new global order is the key to its success.
Writing in the April 1974 issue of Foreign Affairs,
the flagship publication of the Council on Foreign Relations
(CFR), Richard N. Gardner , who has held a number of State
Department posts, argued against what he called "instant
world government." Instead, he wrote, "the 'house
of world order' will have to be built from the bottom up rather
than from the top down. It will look like a great 'booming,
buzzing confusion,' to use William James' famous description
of reality, but an end run around national sovereignty, eroding
it piece by piece, will accomplish much more than the old-fashioned
frontal assault."
In a similar sentiment, former National Security
Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski pointed to "regionalization"
as the key for "globalization" in his address to
Gorbechev's State of the World Forum in October 1995: "The
precondition for eventual globalization — genuine globalization
— is progressive regionalization, because thereby we
move toward larger, more stable, more cooperative units."
This week we have witnessed the first steps
towards the biggest "cooperative unit" there has
ever been with the groundwork being set for a EU-US single
market. However, as the CFR would say, amidst the "booming,
buzzing confusion" few have noticed.
