The Final Push for World Government
Marines and Multinational Forces Train in Florida
April 26, 2009The Florida Times-Union - During the past week, the troops - Marines from the U.S. and six countries in Central and South America, as well as soldiers from Canada - worked together at Camp Blanding, fast-roping out of helicopters, firing weapons and sharing tactics.
They jelled quickly. “The only difference in identity” said Lt. Col. Jorge Garcia of Colombia, “is in the color of the uniforms. We have the same objectives.”
The Tower of Basel: Secretive Plans for the Issuing of a Global Currency
April 19, 2009Global Research - Do we really want the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) issuing our global currency? In an April 7 article in the London Daily Telegraph titled “The G20 Moves the World a Step Closer to a Global Currency,” Ambrose Evans-Pritchard wrote:
“A single clause in Point 19 of the communiqué issued by the G20 leaders amounts to revolution in the global financial order.BIS, founded in Basel, Switzerland, in 1930, it has been scandal-ridden from its beginnings. According to Charles Higham in his book Trading with the Enemy, by the late 1930s the BIS had assumed an openly pro-Nazi bias.
“We have agreed to support a general SDR allocation which will inject $250bn (£170bn) into the world economy and increase global liquidity,’ it said. SDRs are Special Drawing Rights, a synthetic paper currency issued by the International Monetary Fund that has lain dormant for half a century.
“In effect, the G20 leaders have activated the IMF’s power to create money and begin global ‘quantitative easing’. In doing so, they are putting a de facto world currency into play. It is outside the control of any sovereign body. Conspiracy theorists will love it.”
Indeed they will. The article is subtitled, “The world is a step closer to a global currency, backed by a global central bank, running monetary policy for all humanity.” Which naturally raises the question, who or what will serve as this global central bank, cloaked with the power to issue the global currency and police monetary policy for all humanity? When the world’s central bankers met in Washington last September, they discussed what body might be in a position to serve in that awesome and fearful role. A former governor of the Bank of England stated:
“The answer might already be staring us in the face, in the form of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS)… The IMF tends to couch its warnings about economic problems in very diplomatic language, but the BIS is more independent and much better placed to deal with this if it is given the power to do so...”
Gaddafi Outlines African Vision
April 15, 2009BBC - Libyan leader and current African Union chairman Muammar Gaddafi has spelled out his plans to create a United States of Africa. At an AU Executive Council session in Tripoli, he called on the continent to speed up the integration process. His vision of a pan-African government was at the heart of disputes at February’s AU summit in Ethiopia.
He said an African Union Authority would replace all other organs and be run by three co-ordinators. The BBC’s Rana Jawad in Tripoli says the establishment of an AU Authority is meant to be the starting point for the envisioned United States of Africa.
More than 60 AU ministers and delegates gathered for a one-day meeting in the Libyan capital to hear Col Gaddafi outline in detail for the first time how his plan would work...

Obama Hails the New World Order
April 3, 2009The Independent - Gordon Brown declared that a $1 trillion package to stimulate economic growth agreed at yesterday’s G20 summit in London will ensure that the world pulls out of recession more quickly. Speaking after the one-day summit of the world’s richest nations in the Docklands, the Prime Minister said there were “no quick fixes,” adding: “Today’s decisions will not immediately solve the crisis. But we have begun the process by which it will be solved.”
He said: “This is the day that the world came together to fight back against the global recession, not with words, but with a plan for global recovery and for reform and with a clear timetable for its delivery.”The US President Barack Obama played a key role in brokering the agreement, resolving tensions between China and France on tax havens.
The $1trn will be made available to countries that run into trouble via the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank and World Trade Organisation, which will all be beefed up. Half the money will come from IMF loans, with $250bn to finance trade deals and a further $250bn from the IMF’s currency reserve.
Mr Brown and President Obama originally wanted the G20 summit to call for higher government spending and tax cuts, but they ran into opposition from European nations, led by Germany and France. However, the summit kept open the option of such action in 2010 if the $5trn fiscal stimulus scheme does not work. The IMF will have a new role in monitoring whether countries are doing enough to help the world economy grow at about 4 per cent a year.
G20 leaders will meet again to review progress, probably in New York in September, to coincide with the annual meeting of the United Nations General Assembly.
Last night British ministers said the real significance of yesterday’s agreement was not the $1trn package but the enhanced role it gave to world institutions like the IMF, whose budget will triple to $750bn.
“A new world financial order has been born, almost by accident, because of this crisis,” one cabinet minister said. “These bodies have been revamped; now they need to raise their game.”The IMF will no longer be regarded as a last-resort option for nations facing bankruptcy, but will instead take preventative action. Many nations have been reluctant to turn to the fund because the stigma of doing so sends bad signals to the financial markets...
Venezuelan President Seeks Arab Support for New Oil-backed Currency
March 31, 2009AP - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez tried Tuesday to court Arab support for another swipe at America as its economy stumbles: a proposal for a new, oil-backed currency to challenge the global prominence of the dollar.
The idea never reached the full agenda of a summit of leaders from South America and the Arab League—and has little hope of gaining any momentum among the U.S. allies in the Middle East. But it managed to reflect broader sentiments at the gathering: that Western financial leadership has been deeply eroded by the economic meltdown.
Chavez set the tone moments after arriving in Qatar, proposing a "petro-currency" that would have the backing of oil-rich nations such as Venezuela and its Arab partners in OPEC. Chavez has tried before, with little success, to undercut the dollar's role as the world's leading commercial currency.
The dollar, however, is facing real pressures elsewhere.
China has struck deals—most recently this week with Argentina—to conduct trade in currencies other than the dollar, and Beijing's central bank governor has proposed creating a new "reserve currency" comprising a basket of global currencies controlled by the International Monetary Fund. Iran has proposed replacing the dollar with the euro or other currencies to set worldwide oil prices, and other nations are swapping some foreign currency reserves in favor of the euro. "Venezuela supports... efforts to find an alternative reserve currency," Chavez told the summit.
Chavez plans stops in both Iran and China—in addition to Japan— after the one-day gathering, which focused heavily on trade issues but also touched on Arab worries about rival Iran's growing influence in Latin America.
"The global economic crisis erupted outside our regions, but nevertheless effect our economies," said a statement by business envoys from the two regions, who called for a "new international financial system" that includes greater influence from outside the West...
Arab Parliament Approves Yemeni Initiative to Develop Arab Joint Work
March 22, 2009Yemen News Agency (Saba) - The Arab Parliament approved on Sunday a Yemeni initiative of developing Arab joint work. In its round held in Damascus capital of Syria, the parliament considered the initiative of Yemen as serious and typical step to enhance national security of the Arab nation and Arab-Arab ties. It thanked Yemen for the initiative, asking the speaker of the parliament to raise it to the secretary general of the Arab league to be presented then to the coming Arab summit.
Meanwhile, the parliament agreed to form a committee of solidarity with Sudan headed by the deputy speaker of the parliament Mansor al-Zandani. Al-Zandani told Saba that the initiative comes within concern of the Yemen represented by President Ali Abdullah Saleh to boost the joint Arab work to serve issues of the Arab nation.

The G-20 Summit: Neoliberal Agenda Untouched; Next Phase of the Crisis is Looming
April 2, 2009Global Research - The G20 strategy is to put a fresh coat of paint on a world which is collapsing. Only a strong popular mobilization will make it possible to lay solid foundations to build another world in which finance is at the service of people, and not the other way round. The 28 and 30 March demos were big ones: 40,000 people in London, thousands and thousands in Vienna, Berlin, Stuttgart, Madrid, Brasilia, Rome, etc. with the common motto “Let the rich pay the crisis!”
The week of global action called for by the social movements from all over the world at the WSF at Belém last January thus had a gigantic echo. Those who had announced the end of the movement for another globalization were wrong. It has proved that it is able to bring large crowds together, and this is only the beginning. The success of the mobilizations in France on 29 January and 19 March (three million demonstrators were in the streets) is evidence that the workers, the unemployed and young people all want other solutions to the crisis than those which consist in bailing out bankers and imposing restrictions on the lower classes...

World Bank President Admits Agenda For Global Government
April 1, 2009Prison Planet - World Bank President and Bilderberg elitist Robert Zoellick openly admitted the plan to eliminate national sovereignty and impose a global government during a speech on the eve of the G20 summit.
Speaking about the agenda to increase not just funding but power for international organizations on the back of the financial crisis, Zoellick stated, “If leaders are serious about creating new global responsibilities or governance, let them start by modernising multilateralism to empower the WTO, the IMF, and the World Bank Group to monitor national policies.”
In other words, give global institutions the power to regulate national policy as part of the creation of global government...
