Solution to Global Warming: the New World Order
After the successful invasion of Iraq in Gulf War I, then President, George H.W. Bush, made much ado about a "New World Order." By this he meant: "a new world coming into view. A world in which there is the very real prospect of a new world order. In the words of Winston Churchill, a 'world order' in which 'the principles of justice and fair play ... protect the weak against the strong ...' A world where the United Nations, freed from cold war stalemate, is poised to fulfil the historic vision of its founders. A world in which freedom and respect for human rights find a home among all nations."
The emphasis in that scenario is the fulfillment of "the historic vision" of the United Nations -- a vision of international peace. This is an ironic embellishment in a speech coming after a massive war that slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Iraqis; it's Orwellian to the core, i.e. "WAR IS PEACE."
The UN emphasis remained throughout the Clinton years, and the NATO-run war in the Balkans empitomized the dream of an international force imposing an international will. Again, the irony is dripping off the walls. We've had incessant war since the founding of the peace-establishing United Nations.
After 9/11, this all changed. We began to see "bad press" released on the United Nations highlighting misappropriation of funds, executive corruption, and raping and pillaging by UN forces. The Neoconservatives expressed their great disdain for the UN by pushing one of their own into the position of U.S. representation in the UN: none other than the UN-hating John Bolton, who once suggested that most of the floors of the UN could be demolished without making a difference. In other words, the UN had become a bureaucratic jungle.
The old moniker of the "New World Order" used by the senior Bush and his predecessors gave way to the Neoconservative ambition for a "New American Century" where diverse nations would not come together for peaceful resolution, but rather be subdued politically, economically, and militarily by U.S. hegemony. A century is 100 years and this span parallels Bush Jr.'s prediction that the "War on Terror" will last 100 years.
Now, the rhetoric of Old Europe and it's utopian UN dream is being established upon the morass of global warming. Although the global warming fallacy is nothing new, it's made remarkable progress of late with even Sports Illustrated dedicating editorial space to the subject.
Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon Brown, of the Labor Party is set to deliver a speech today that calls for a "new world order" to combat global warming. Brown will suggest that the UN make the fight against global warming the pillar of its international mission. According to the AFP, Brown will also praise the EU for agreeing to reduce emissions of CO2 by 20 percent by 2020. By making global warming the "pillar" of the UN mission, it removes the obviously failed mission of making peace. This a PR tactic, and it best explains the mass media hysteria of late over global warming. We're being set up. Well, the more Left-leaning population is being set up -- the Right tends to decry the threat of global warming.
Gordon Brown is favored to replace Tony Blair as Britain's next prime minister, and he has a long history of serving the ruling class. After taking the office of Chancellor, Brown allowed the Bank of England total operational independence as a stepping stone towards the institution of the Euro. Brown sold over half of Britain's gold reserves, and this again, went to the international banking community -- the long-standing architects of any New World Order.
The public relations of the Bush-led Neocons is quickly becoming like that of the defunct UN. The psychological aftermath of 9/11 has all but worn off the American psyche. Only the most ardent Republicans still swallow the tainted hogwash streaming from the White House and Defense Department. Although it's too early to predict the next president, the likelihood of a Democrat is real and probable -- especially if the wars in the Middle East continue without resolution.
Most Americans embrace the fallacy of global warming, and the Democrats have claimed early ownership of the campaign for environmental policy change. Al Gore's documentary helped to seal the deal, and we should see a revival of New World Order rhetoric bubbling up in Washington.
