Verhofstadt want globe divided into "regions" rather than the G-7 + 1 ---- May 11, 2004
Speaking at the Annual Worldbank Conference on Development Economics in Brussels, Mr Verhofstadt said, "We need a global political response capable of rivalling the globalised market in which we are living. One way to achieve this goal is to replace the G8 of rich countries with a G8 of regional groupings".

What is Globalization ? International Trading Markets and Migration
It has brought diminishing national borders and the fusing of individual national markets. The fall of protectionist barriers has stimulated free movement of capital and paved the way for companies to set up several bases around the world.
But even in the developed world, not everyone has been a winner. The freedoms granted by globalisation are leading to increased insecurity in the workplace.
Manual workers in particular are under threat as companies shift their production lines overseas to low-wage economies.

At the heart of their concerns is the fact that huge trans-national companies are becoming more powerful and influential than democratically-elected governments, putting shareholder interests above those of communities and even customers.

We are no longer bounded by geography, but by corporations.

Absolute Power -- The Making of the New World Order © 1998 Richard K. Moore
As published in Toward Freedom, May 1998
The reason should be obvious: Globalization isn't about competition among nations, but rather about the increasing power of mega- corporations over nations and their peoples. In effect, the US government acts as a proxy for elite corporate interests, not as a representative of its people or even national interests in any traditional sense. Although sovereign national states, sometimes competing and sometimes cooperating, are the Familiar World Order, globalization is leading us inexorably toward a New World Order where mega- corporations (and the wealthy elite who control them) reign supreme, while nations are reduced to a vestigial, subservient, policing role -- as we see in much of the Third World.

the business wealthy -- gained status and influence through trade and manufacture...

Under a Pax Americana military umbrella, an international economic infrastructure was established (IMF, World Bank, et al). Investment and trade were free to flow, increasingly, around the "free" world, without the territorial partitions traditionally imposed by a competitive European imperial system. For the ex-colonies (soon to be dubbed the "Third World"), the result was domination by the capital elite, rather than the business interests of a single national power....

What we see are minimal regulation and taxation of megacorp activities, along with repressive regimes subsidized, armed, and otherwise bolstered by outside elite interests.

The Neoliberal Revolution

In 1980, a new phase of consolidation was launched simultaneously in the US and Britain, under the stage management of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher. The platform of the "neoliberal revolution" was lower corporate taxes, reduced corporate regulation, privatization of public services, elimination of international trade barriers, and the self- demonization of democratic political institutions. "The only good government is less government" became the kamikaze agenda.

This amounts to a wholesale transference of power, assets, and sovereignty into megacorp hands, embezzlement on the grandest scale ever attempted. Public lands, rights, responsibilities, and assets are being passed into private hands at undervalued prices -- without effective public oversight. Government itself is being dismantled. By rights, neoliberalism's public leaders ought to be indicted for conspiracy and high treason. Their revolution represents a declaration that nation states are no longer the tools of power, and that megacorps are the primary vehicle for wealth accumulation and organizing global society.

And they're making it clear that First-World nations and their populations are no longer privileged partners in the game. To this end, international arrangements such as the WTO, IMF, World Bank, NAFTA, and GATT have been set up to ensure that economic, social, and political polices can be dictated globally by corporate-dominated commissions. Megacorps and their commissions are controlled directly by the elite. There are no democratic mechanisms and no pretense that they represent the "will of the people." Democracy, the scam which unleashed capitalism, has finally become a direct hindrance to elite hegemony.

Escaping the Matrix by Richard K. Moore
Military might determined the scope of an empire; wars were initiated when a core nation felt it had sufficient power to expand its periphery at the expense of a competitor. Economies and societies in the periphery were kept backward--to keep their populations under control, to provide cheap labor, and to guarantee markets for goods manufactured in the core. Imperialism robbed the periphery not only of wealth but also of its ability to develop its own societies, cultures, and economies in a natural way for local benefit.

Quotes:

"No one will enter the New World Order unless he or she will make a pledge to worship Lucifer.
No one will enter the new age unless he will take a Luciferian Initiation."
David Spangler, Director of Planetary Initiative, United Nations

"And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast" Revelation 13: 4

"Do not be afraid of your enemies - in the worst case they can kill you;
Do not be afraid of your friends - in the worst case they can betray you;
Be afraid of the indifferent ones:
it is from their silent blessings that all the evil is happening in the world!"
-- Bruno Yasensky, Russian writer

"Power Corrupts; and Absolute Power corrupts absolutely"

A Global Democracy (ed. note: ruling the world)
According to the Collegium, solutions lie in the "emergence of a world citizenry – and with time – a world democracy." An ethical quality to the democratic model must be provided, which it is cruelly lacking today.

"Democracy cannot be confined to the electoral principle or even to the power of the people to govern themselves: elections can be used by dictators, and people left to their fears or their identity crises, can turn to war or oppression against other human beings."

"Greater Europe" ... EU plus Russia and the CIS -- May 16, 2003
In the wake of the United States' victory in Iraq, Russia and Europe appear to be joining forces toward a strategic goal of creating "Greater Europe" -- a union consisting of both the European Union and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). And Moscow's newfound willingness to sacrifice part of its control over post-Soviet states in favor of a greater Europe will make this union possible, Stratfor's sources in the Russian government say.

Having abandoned dreams of Russia as a superpower, President Vladimir Putin and his associates appear to be pursuing a more realistic goal: for Moscow -- together with Berlin and Paris -- to become a leading voice within a united Europe, the world's potential second superpower

"Greater Europe" to have no dividing lines -- May 15, 2003
STRASBOURG (di-ve news) -- 15 May 2003 – 1825CET -- Foreign Minister Joe Borg chaired the 112th session of the Committee of Ministers held in Strasbourg which dealt mainly with three main issues:
1. the future role of the Council of Europe in building a Europe without dividing lines,
with a view to the Organisation’s Third Summit;
2. the means of guaranteeing the effectiveness of the European Court of Human Rights;
3. and possible future Council of Europe action to
A. combat the trafficking of human beings,
B. to promote freedom of movement of persons within Greater Europe,
C. and to combat terrorism.

Lithuania to join Europe by May 1, 2004 (Communist Day) -- May 12, 2003

Lithuania is one of 10 mainly ex-communist countries on course to join the EU on May 1, 2004.

" Greater Europe" to include CIS states and Turkey

Berlusconi wants Turkey and the Russian Federation in the EU -- May 13, 2003
However, his remarks this week on both the European Union and Cyprus issues will probably endear him to the Turkish people. In fact, Berlusconi has his own original perspective on the EU. He dreams of a ‘Greater Europe.’ In Ankara, he made an astonishing remark on the admission of Turkey and the Russian Federation to the European Union: ‘Europe will only be able to look at the United States not from the position of a subordinate if it becomes a ‘Greater Europe,’ not only great in the economic sense but also in terms of military power.’ That’s what he calls the ‘Greater Europe Project.’ As a matter of fact, isn’t the adventure of the EU itself a step-by-step realization of such a dream? Weren’t prominent figures such as Jean Monnet and Robert Schumann criticized as being a bit nuts back in the 1940s whenever they talked about a European Union?

Yen jumps as yuan is revalued -- July 21, 2005
The yen surged and stocks jumped on Thursday after China said it was scrapping the yuan's peg against the dollar in favour of a basket of currencies, the first step in a long anticipated move to float the currency.
http://today.reuters.com/investing/financeArticle.aspx?type=bondsNews&storyID=2005-07-21T114018Z_01_L21524083_RTRIDST_0_MARKETS-

Malaysia / Singapore switch to Basket Currencies too -- July 21, 2005
Malaysia followed China, scrapping the ringgit's seven-year peg to the dollar. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose 7 basis points to 4.23 percent

What they're really doing is leaving the door open to further revaluations,

Linking the yuan to a basket of currencies means China's currency wouldn't be tied so closely to swings in the dollar, said Adam Cole, a currency strategist at RBC Capital Markets Ltd. in London. The basket will probably be composed of the euro, yen and other Asian currencies as well as the dollar, he said.

Singapore manages its currency by allowing it to fluctuate [Ed: "float" ] against a group of the nation's major trading partners. The Monetary Authority of Singapore, which reviews its policy every six months, hasn't disclosed the composition of the basket. [ Ed: of currencies ]

Saudi Arabia , Basket of Currencies -- July 16, 2005
We have to decide if it will continue to be pegged to the dollar or if we will do something else,” he said, making clear that: “Nothing is ruled in or out.”
As a first step, all six countries pegged their existing currencies to the dollar in 2002 in a move that reflected the fact that oil prices are denominated in dollars. But the dollar’s slide on currency markets has triggered speculation over a rethink. Since 45 per cent of the six states’ imports come from Europe, the euro’s rise against the falling dollar has ratcheted up their import bills, potentially making an alternative peg arrangement more attractive

China expected to revalue the renminbi -- tied to basket of currencies -- July 15, 2005
The US Treasury has told Beijing it needs to revalue the renminbi by at least 10 per cent against the dollar. Mr Snow reiterated on Thursday that the US wanted China to move “as soon as possible.”
China is considering introducing a currency regime similar to the managed float operated by Singapore. Under this system the renminbi would be pegged to a basket of currencies reflecting the country's trade, but the details of the weights of the basket would not be made public, a person familiar with the Chinese administration's thinking said

Authoritarian Singapore -- July 16, 2005
First, Singapore has shown how to harmonise private entrepreneurship and a competitive environment with rising productivity, even within a tightly controlled and disciplined administrative regime.
The state first performed the role of guaranteeing security of life and property, leaving little scope for industrial unrest, crime, or the creeping cancer of corruption. In this sense, the virtues of growth and innovation, associated with a market-driven eco-nomy, were combined with the rigours of discipline and respect for authority
Second, Singa-pore’s public sector entities have not haemorrhaged its economy, but have successfully used the strength of the state to undertake productive ventures, both in Singapore and other countries. Public ownership has been combined with high productivity, based on autonomy and efficiency in project implementation

Free Market : Americanisation of Europe -- June 20, 2005
anti-protectionism
The only alternative is the difficult and painful tasks of reform and modernisation. It's the policy that the Barroso commission set out in February for Europe and its member states, explaining our revised Lisbon strategy. To prioritise growth and jobs is not a neoliberal obsession. Yes, it involves difficult economic reforms, affecting many vested interests as well as people's livelihoods. Yes, it demands of us to press ahead with opening markets in Europe, in order to provide European business with a vibrant economic base on which it can compete in the rest of the world. But the thrust, I repeat, is reform for a purpose: to make our European model of society sustainable for generations to come. No wealth, no opportunity. No opportunity, no progress.

TABD TransAtlantic Business Dialogue -- June 20, 2005
Bush, Solana, Barroso, Juncker
The Transatlantic Business Dialogue, a group of senior US and European business leaders, praised the new drive for regulatory co-operation.
The TABD said that although large companies were generally well placed to jump the regulatory hurdles, smaller enterprises faced much greater challenges. Only 10 per cent of these companies engaged in transatlantic trade, and this was partly a reflection of heavy regulatory burdens.

Civil society and business sector representatives are also participating in the meeting.
Theme: "Monterey Consensus" and "Millennium Declaration" ( alleviating global poverty)
http://www.un.org/docs/ecosoc/meetings/bwi2005/

Trilateral Commission met April 16th, 2005 in Washington, D.C.
The Trilateral Commission, a secretive association of the world's most powerful private citizens, met behind closed doors in Washington over the weekend with top Bush administration officials, discussing the rise of China, global currency conflicts and the pending referendum before nations of the European Union.
    As usual, the press was not allowed in any of the meetings, which included speeches by Vice President Dick Cheney, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, World Bank President-designate Paul Wolfowitz and Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld.
Members include former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, former Assistant Secretary of Defense Richard Perle, Kennedy administration Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, Harvard President Lawrence H. Summers, and Zbigniew Brzezinski, a national security adviser in the Carter administration.
TC has "inspired conspiracy theories of powerful puppeteers who secretly pull the strings of world powers as they seek to establish a new world order. " [ Ed: the elitist- movers and shakers of the NWO ]
The theories are based partly on fact. Mr. Brzezinski once asserted that the commission came up with the idea to create the Group of Seven industrial nations. The commission boasts three U.S. presidents once among its ranks: Bill Clinton, George Bush and Jimmy Carter, who joined in 1973 and moved into the White House three years later.

Globalization Means ......
" The goal of Western political systems, and the criterion of their legitimacy, Scruton argues, is citizenship, which "depends on pre-political loyalties of a territorial kind... rooted in the sense of the common home and of the transgenerational society that resides there. In short, citizenship as we know it depends on the nation... ." But the Koranic vision of society is "alien... to any idea of territorial jurisdiction or national loyalty."

There are other complicating factors. Not only is there the dream of "another kind of citizenship... in which national loyalties would be extinguished in an all-embracing order," but there is also the postmodern repudiation of "the cultural inheritance which defines us as something distinct from the rest."

"In place of the Enlightenment emphasis on reason as the path to objective truth," Scruton writes, "has come the 'view from the outside,' in which our entire tradition of learning is put in question

Possible interpretation:
The city of expedient commercialism is possibly New York City,
complete with Wall Street and the center of world trade.

The 10 (EU) have already absorbed our trans-national corporations, who have all moved their headquarters to Europe. And perhaps soon our dollar will be devalued, and the euro possibly could be the main currency of exchange.
