      Yikes.  Sounds like the thin end of a very large and painful wedge.  And I bet none of this is actually going to benefit Third World countries either.

      Here's a copy of an article going into more detail about the Copenhagen treaty:

      What did you expect ?
      America was founded by Freemasons, and they have been waiting all this years for this time to come.
      Freemasons don't care for U.S.A.
      Their only  goal is power for themselves. And now they're going to get it.
      They've bee waiting for more than 300 years. Do you think they won't succeed? Get Real !

              Excuse me.
              there are a lot of freemasons all over the world. I can say I'm a freemason. Who could say I'm not ?
              The freemasons you hear about in books, youtube, google etc, are not 'THE'Freemasons. 'THE' Freemasons t don't go in the media, and you wouldn't even imagine who they are!
              But they are only 'ONE'. And they are the ones behind the 'freemasons' faces behind the New World Order.
              And they are the ones that founded your country, wether you like it or not .

    if some countries gives up calling themselves "developed",
    if some countries are not branded as "developing" 
         and "underdeveloped",
    if every country honour the existence of other countries,

    It's not a "dream" - more like a nightmare. America is where she is because of the goodness and hard work of it's people, and in spite of the loonies who run things on occasion. If other countries got their act together they would have what America has. And at the root of what America has is self respect that comes from acknowledging the inalienable rights of every human being.

    We don't need a "world government" to have that.

          Lets have a bit of truth here, the US like the UK have looted and destroyed the resources of the third world countries for decades, they never needed us (UK) or you the US and would have been better off without either of us. Take responsibility for what they have done in your name.  If you think the US is "civilised" then you have believed your own propaganda, nobody else believes it.  You have the most corrupt and lying government to every be in power.  Check out the disclosure movement - 400 strong and gathering momentum.  Your money has been going to block ops not 3rd world countries. You, like the UK, have been bankrupt for decades and only survive on false economy and figures. Start to blow holes in your own illusory bubble.

            That's precisely the attitude we have to put up with here. Our consumption alone is raising the living standards of millions of people in China, India, Malaysia, Thailand and around the globe. Are people being exploited? Of course! But you can't lay the blame for that on the doorstep of the USA! Look at Cuba, we haven't done business with them for 40 years and that country is a mess! Is that our fault too? Is Darfur our fault? Saudi Arabia? Russia? Pulease!

            America is the last and only beacon of freedom in the world - and we're trying to hold on to that with our last dying breath here - in spite of European interference all the way back from the 1840's. England couldn't get "the colonies" back through war, so they attacked from within and we've been trying to fight them off ever since. You think it's Americans who interfere in third world, and every other economy? Think again. And read some history.

              I dont think you read what I said - I included UK in this destruction and exploitation of 3rd world countries and I believe its you that needs to read up on the real history.  UK, our crown and the parts of the illuminatti that are English still run your country with your governments - they are in it together.  You have housed the NAZI scientists and used their knowledge since WW2, you transported them out of Germany to your own country and they are running the black ops space programmes and advanced energy processes for you. Wake Up, its time to smell your own manure heap.  I certainly am aware of the manure heap from the British.  Its not right, never has been but its the truth, the US and the UK have everything to answer for - so called developed world came through UK and US and what a mess.

                You do have a point. this country was founded on a government and morals that I think anybody would want to fight for. But the fact that we were tainted(unknowingly) by infiltration of the illuminati and its subsidaries like the free masons makes the trip a little harder to recognize. Many still think we are fighting for all the right reasons, while the strings of the puppeteres are yanked and loosed.

    Baphonet is a major part of free masonry, and free masonry is a minor part of something bigger. but just for fun, watch some Walt Disney(33rd degree mason) movies. Notice most characters exhibit Baphonet hand symbols throughout the movies. Little Mermaid, aladin, the list is endless. Then look at your political leaders making Baphonet hand signs throughout history.

    I will bet most don't wave at anyone with the symbol of the goat(devil). You might see it happen at rock concerts, and people think that they are giving some sort of "rock and roll" sign, but most know that it is the sign of the devil. Interesting when you know who controls the music industry. Even more crazy is some lyrics that make it into songs.

    Someone said that it is "strange" that these groups have not exposed themself. Sure they have, time and time again. People have even left the Illuminati and talked about it. Many came up missing. They also expose themselves with symbols and imagery. It is one of mans inner most sinful desires to belong to something secret.

    Part of the article provided by Empress's link on page one.

    Interviewed by broadcaster Alan Jones on Sydney radio Monday, Lord Monckton said "this is the first time I've ever seen any transnational treaty referring to a new body to be set up under that treaty as a 'government.' But it's the powers that are going to be given to this entirely unelected government that are so frightening." He added: "The sheer ambition of this new world government is enormous right from the start—that's even before it starts accreting powers to itself in the way that these entities inevitably always do."

        More like "dissolve" the human condition...as in a vat of extremely corrosive acid.  "Solving" the human condition implies that said condition is a problem. To me, it's our salvation--not religious salvation, but the only real bulwark resisting the one world government.  I do agree with you, Earnest, that it IS such a bulwark.

        Even so, I'm not terribly comfortable with the idea that the world government "cannot" happen.  "Not bloody likely", that I could buy (with hope in my eye), but far too many former and obvious impossibilities of yesterday are the facts of today for me to ever become complacent.

    World government isn't likely. However, stronger international institutions are needed to deal with issues that affect the world or many countries. For example: arms control and reduction, pollution and climate change issues, copyright enforcement, disease epidemics that spread quickly across national boundaries, fishery conservation, international trade issues, offshore tax evasion schemes, increasing piracy at sea due to failed national governments, drug trafficing, and last but not least, international terrorism which will require cooperation among all nations if we are to deal effectively with it.

    We should not let unrealistic fears of "international government" deter us from international cooperation!

    1. profile image0
      Ghost32posted 15 years agoin reply to this

      I thoroughly agree, Ralph.  The operative word being "unrealistic", of course.  In fact, the entire debate pretty well boils down to differences of opinion of what constitutes an unrealistic fear of international government and what constitutes a grim yet realistic fear of international government. 

      Fortunately or unfortunately, Maxwell Maltz illustrated that point clearly in his classic book (Psychocybernetics) when he gave the example of a man who encountered a bear while hiking a mountain trail.  Terrified, the man rushed back the way he had come, loudly informing other hikers of the furry black menace lurking just around the next corner.  Undeterred, those hikers kept going...and found that the threatening object was not a bear at all, but a tree stump that simply LOOKED like a bear in the fading evening light.

      Since the first man had kept running, he never learned that, and to this day he believes he nearly lost his life to a real bear.  The point being, the human mind is literally unable to differentiate between an experience that is vividly imagined and one that really happened.  Which makes your point exactly.

      HOWEVER, the reverse could as easily be true.  The first hiker could have passed the shadowy lump sitting beside the trail and thought nothing of it:  "Ah, no big; just a tree stump."  Then the next hikers come along, the tree stump turns out to be a bear, and the bear eats the hikers.  Yet the first hiker, heading on over the ridge on a one way journey, never learns of this...and believes to this day that he had a simple, peaceful, safe stroll from one side of the mountain to the other.

      So:  Would a truly forceful international government turn out to be a cranky, hungry bear (as I firmly believe) or a simple, peaceful tree stump where one might sit and rest while enjoying a sandwich (as you firmly believe)? 

      A neutral third  party might well consider this a valid question.  For my part...I'd just like to stay out of the woods.

                  By 1975, the U.S. had withdrawn its troops from Vietnam. Cambodia's government, plagued by corruption and incompetence, also lost its American military support. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge army, consisting of teenage peasant guerrillas, marched into Phnom Penh and on April 17 effectively seized control of Cambodia.

    "Private Capital Flows:
    In 2006, the United States initiated $62.3 billion in private capital flows to the developing world. This amounted to one-third of all international private capital flows to developing countries.

    Private capital flows are essentially investments and lending at market terms. As the Hudson Institute report puts it, “it is this capital that creates jobs, raises productivity, transfers skills and technology, and boosts export industries in developing countries—what economists see as the critical factors in creating growth and prosperity.”

    American Private Giving:
    But American international development aid doesn’t consist only of capitalism and governmental donations. Far from it.

    Private and voluntary organizations (PVOs) in the United States gave approximately $10.6 billion to developing countries in 2006.

    Religious Organizations in the United States gave approximately $8.8 Billion to developing countries in 2006.

    Non-profit Foundations in the United States gave approximately $4.0 billion to developing countries in 2006.

    Corporations in the United States gave approximately $5.5 Billion to developing countries in 2006.

    Colleges, Universities and other foundations in the United States gave approximately $3.7 billion to students from developing countries in 2006.

    In the 2006-2007 academic year, 60 percent of international students came from the developing world. Of this group, 61 percent came from Asia, 18 percent from Latin America, 10 percent from Africa, 5 percent from the Middle East, 5 percent from Europe, and less than 1 percent from Oceania

    Volunteers in the United States gave approximately $2.2 billion worth of time in 2006 volunteering for development assistance causes abroad and for international assistance organizations in the U.S. It is estimated that 26.7 percent of Americans volunteered in some capacity in 2006. Among these 61.2 million volunteers, 8.1 billion volunteer hours were dedicated to domestic and international volunteerism."




    "American private and voluntary organizations alone gave more aid to the developing world in 2006 than Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden each gave in government aid.

    Universities and colleges in the U.S. provide more in scholarships and stipends to the developing world than half of all the developed country donors gave in official assistance individually in 2006

    Remittance outflows from the United States to the developing world totaled $71.5 billion in 2006, or 37 percent of total U.S. economic engagement with developing countries. They exceed any other donor country’s government aid program and are equivalent to 68 percent of total ODA from all developed countries. "

    This proposed one world government may have an impact on those countries that have refused to ratify important United Nations resolutions like the banning of land mines or ratifying the International Criminal Court.  The US has not ratified either.  If they were made to then the US would not be allowed to manufacture, sell or use land mines.  And they may be forced to hand over suspected war criminals to stand trial in the Hague (examples - Kissinger, Bush, Cheney and the like).
