In the mainline media, those who adhere to the position that there is
some kind of "conspiracy" pushing us towards a world government are
virulently ridiculed. The standard attack maintains that the so-called
"New World Order" is the product of turn-of-the-century, right-wing,
bigoted, anti-semitic racists acting in the tradition of the
long-debunked Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, now promulgated
by some Militias and other right-wing hate groups.
The historical
record does not support that position to any large degree but it has
become the mantra of the socialist left and their cronies, the media.
The
term "New World Order" has been used thousands of times in this century
by proponents in high places of federalized world government. Some of
those involved in this collaboration to achieve world order have been
Jewish. The preponderance are not, so it most definitely is not a Jewish
agenda.
For years, leaders in education, industry, the media,
banking, etc., have promoted those with the same Weltanschauung (world
view) as theirs. Of course, someone might say that just because
individuals promote their friends doesn't constitute a conspiracy.
That's true in the usual sense. However, it does represent an "open
conspiracy," as described by noted Fabian Socialist H.G. Wells in The
Open Conspiracy: Blue Prints for a World Revolution (1928).
In 1913, prior to the passage of the Federal Reserve Act President Wilson's The New Freedom was published, in which he revealed:
"Since
I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me
privately. Some of the biggest men in the U. S., in the field of
commerce and manufacturing, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of
something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so
subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that
they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in
condemnation of it."
On November 21, 1933, President Franklin Roosevelt wrote a letter to Col. Edward Mandell House, President Woodrow Wilson's close advisor:
"The
real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial
element in the larger centers has owned the Government every since the
days of Andrew Jackson..."
That there is such a thing as a cabal
of power brokers who control government behind the scenes has been
detailed several times in this century by credible sources. Professor
Carroll Quigley was Bill Clinton's mentor at Georgetown University.
President Clinton has publicly paid homage to the influence Professor
Quigley had on his life. In Quigley's magnum opus Tragedy and Hope
(1966), he states:
"There does exist and has existed for a
generation, an international...network which operates, to some extent,
in the way the radical right believes the Communists act. In fact, this
network, which we may identify as the Round Table Groups, has no
aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any other groups and
frequently does so. I know of the operations of this network because I
have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the
early 1960s, to examine its papers and secret records. I have no
aversion to it or to most of its aims and have, for much of my life,
been close to it and to many of its instruments. I have objected, both
in the past and recently, to a few of its policies...but in general my
chief difference of opinion is that it wishes to remain unknown, and I
believe its role in history is significant enough to be known."
Even talk show host Rush Limbaugh, an outspoken critic of anyone claiming a push for global government, said on his February 7, 1995 program:
"You
see, if you amount to anything in Washington these days, it is because
you have been plucked or handpicked from an Ivy League school --
Harvard, Yale, Kennedy School of Government -- you've shown an aptitude
to be a good Ivy League type, and so you're plucked so-to-speak, and you
are assigned success. You are assigned a certain role in government
somewhere, and then your success is monitored and tracked, and you go
where the pluckers and the handpickers can put you."
On May 4, 1993, Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) president Leslie Gelb said on The Charlie Rose Show that:
"...you
[Charlie Rose] had me on [before] to talk about the New World Order! I
talk about it all the time. It's one world now. The Council [CFR] can
find, nurture, and begin to put people in the kinds of jobs this country
needs. And that's going to be one of the major enterprises of the
Council under me."
Previous CFR chairman, John J. McCloy (1953-70), actually said they have been doing this since the 1940s (and before).
The
thrust towards global government can be well-documented but at the end
of the twentieth century it does not look like a traditional conspiracy
in the usual sense of a secret cabal of evil men meeting clandestinely
behind closed doors. Rather, it is a "networking" of like-minded
individuals in high places to achieve a common goal, as described in
Marilyn Ferguson's 1980 insider classic, The Aquarian Conspiracy.
Perhaps
the best way to relate this would be a brief history of the New World
Order, not in our words but in the words of those who have been striving
to make it real.
1912 -- Colonel
Edward M. House, a close advisor of President Woodrow Wilson, publishes
Phillip Dru: Administrator in which he promotes "socialism as dreamed
of by Karl Marx."
1913 -- The Federal
Reserve (neither federal nor a reserve) is created. It was planned at a
secret meeting in 1910 on Jekyl Island, Georgia by a group of bankers
and politicians, including Col. House. This transferred the power to
create money from the American government to a private group of bankers.
It is probably the largest generator of debt in the world.
May 30, 1919 -- Prominent
British and American personalities establish the Royal Institute of
International Affairs in England and the Institute of International
Affairs in the U.S. at a meeting arranged by Col. House attended by
various Fabian socialists, including noted economist John Maynard
Keynes. Two years later, Col. House reorganizes the Institute of
International Affairs into the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).
December 15, 1922 -- The CFR endorses World Government in its magazine Foreign Affairs. Author Philip Kerr, states:
"Obviously
there is going to be no peace or prosperity for mankind as long as [the
earth] remains divided into 50 or 60 independent states until some kind
of international system is created...The real problem today is that of
the world government."
1928 -- The Open Conspiracy: Blue Prints for a World Revolution by H.G. Well is published. A former Fabian Socialist, Wells writes:
"The
political world of the into a Open Conspiracy must weaken, efface,
incorporate and supersede existing governments...The Open Conspiracy is
the natural inheritor of socialist and communist enthusiasms; it may be
in control of Moscow before it is in control of New York...The character
of the Open Conspiracy will now be plainly displayed...It will be a
world religion."
1931 -- Students at the Lenin School of Political Warfare in Moscow are taught:
"One
day we shall start to spread the most theatrical peace movement the
world has ever seen. The capitalist countries, stupid and
decadent...will fall into the trap offered by the possibility of making
new friends. Our day will come in 30 years or so...The bourgeoisie must
be lulled into a false sense of security.
1932 -- New books are published urging World Order:
Toward
Soviet America by William Z. Foster. Head of the Communist Party USA,
Foster indicates that a National Department of Education would be one of
the means used to develop a new socialist society in the U.S.
The
New World Order by F.S. Marvin, describing the League of Nations as the
first attempt at a New World Order. Marvin says, "nationality must rank
below the claims of mankind as a whole."
Dare the School Build a New Social Order? is published. Educator author George Counts asserts that:
"...the
teachers should deliberately reach for power and then make the most of
their conquest" in order to "influence the social attitudes, ideals and
behavior of the coming generation...The growth of science and technology
has carried us into a new age where ignorance must be replaced by
knowledge, competition by cooperation, trust in Providence by careful
planning and private capitalism by some form of social economy."
1933
-- The first Humanist Manifesto is published. Co-author John Dewey, the
noted philosopher and educator, calls for a synthesizing of all
religions and "a socialized and cooperative economic order."
Co-signer C.F. Potter said in 1930:
"Education
is thus a most powerful ally of humanism, and every American public
school is a school of humanism. What can the theistic Sunday schools,
meeting for an hour once a week, teaching only a fraction of the
children, do to stem the tide of a five-day program of humanistic
teaching?
1933 -- The Shape of Things to Come by H.G.
Wells is published. Wells predicts a second world war around 1940,
originating from a German-Polish dispute. After 1945 there would be an
increasing lack of public safety in "criminally infected" areas. The
plan for the "Modern World-State" would succeed on its third attempt
(about 1980), and come out of something that occurred in Basra, Iraq.
The book also states,
"Although
world government had been plainly coming for some years, although it
had been endlessly feared and murmured against, it found no opposition
prepared anywhere."
1934 -- The Externalization of the
Hierarchy by Alice A. Bailey is published. Bailey is an occultist, whose
works are channeled from a spirit guide, the Tibetan Master [demon
spirit] Djwahl Kuhl. Bailey uses the phrase "points of light" in
connection with a "New Group of World Servers" and claims that 1934
marks the beginning of "the organizing of the men and women...group work
of a new order...[with] progress defined by service...the world of the
Brotherhood...the Forces of Light...[and] out of the spoliation of all
existing culture and civilization, the new world order must be built."
The
book is published by the Lucis Trust, incorporated originally in New
York as the Lucifer Publishing Company. Lucis Trust is a United Nations
NGO and has been a major player at the recent U.N. summits. Later
Assistant Secretary General of the U.N. Robert Mueller would credit the
creation of his World Core Curriculum for education to the underlying
teachings of Djwahl Kuhl via Alice Bailey's writings on the subject.
1932

states bound together by a league or federal union.
1939
-- New World Order by H. G. Wells proposes a collectivist one-world
state"' or "new world order" comprised of "socialist democracies." He
advocates "universal conscription for service" and declares that
"nationalist individualism...is the world's disease." He continues:
"The
manifest necessity for some collective world control to eliminate
warfare and the less generally admitted necessity for a collective
control of the economic and biological life of mankind, are aspects of
one and the same process." He proposes that this be accomplished through
"universal law" and propaganda (or education)."
1940 --
The New World Order is published by the Carnegie Endowment for
International Peace and contains a select list of references on regional

1942 -- The leftist Institute of Pacific Relations publishes Post War Worlds by P.E. Corbett:
"World
government is the ultimate aim...It must be recognized that the law of
nations takes precedence over national law...The process will have to be
assisted by the deletion of the nationalistic material employed in
educational textbooks and its replacement by material explaining the
benefits of wiser association."
June 28, 1945 -- President Truman endorses world government in a speech:
"It
will be just as easy for nations to get along in a republic of the
world as it is for us to get along in a republic of the United States."
October 24, 1945
-- The United Nations Charter becomes effective. Also on October 24,
Senator Glen Taylor (D-Idaho) introduces Senate Resolution 183 calling
upon the U.S. Senate to go on record as favoring creation of a world
republic including an international police force.
1946 --
Alger Hiss is elected President of the Carnegie Endowment for
International Peace. Hiss holds this office until 1949. Early in 1950,
he is convicted of perjury and sentenced to prison after a sensational
trial and Congressional hearing in which Whittaker Chambers, a former
senior editor of Time, testifies that Hiss was a member of his Communist
Party cell.
1946 -- The Teacher and World Government by
former editor of the NEA Journal (National Education Association) Joy
Elmer Morgan is published. He says:
"In the struggle to establish an
adequate world government, the teacher...can do much to prepare the
hearts and minds of children for global understanding and
cooperation...At the very heart of all the agencies which will assure
the coming of world government must stand the school, the teacher, and
the organized profession."
1947 -- The American Education Fellowship, formerly the Progressive Education Association, organized by John Dewey, calls for the:
"...establishment of a genuine world order, an order in which national sovereignty is subordinate to world authority..."
October, 1947 -- NEA Associate Secretary William Carr writes in the NEA Journal that teachers should:
"...teach
about the various proposals that have been made for the strengthening
of the United Nations and the establishment of a world citizenship and
world government."
1948 -- Walden II by behavioral
psychologist B.F. Skinner proposes "a perfect society or new and more
perfect order" in which children are reared by the State, rather than by
their parents and are trained from birth to demonstrate only desirable
behavior and characteristics. Skinner's ideas would be widely
implemented by educators in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s as Values
Clarification and Outcome Based Education.
July, 1948 -- Britain's Sir Harold Butler, in the CFR's Foreign Affairs, sees "a New World Order" taking shape:
"How
far can the life of nations, which for centuries have thought of
themselves as distinct and unique, be merged with the life of other
nations? How far are they prepared to sacrifice a part of their
sovereignty without which there can be no effective economic or
political union?...Out of the prevailing confusion a new world is taking
shape... which may point the way toward the new order...That will be
the beginning of a real United Nations, no longer crippled by a split
personality, but held together by a common faith."
1948 --
UNESCO president and Fabian Socialist, Sir Julian Huxley, calls for a
radical eugenic policy in UNESCO: Its Purpose and Its Philosophy. He
states:
"Thus, even though it is quite true that any radical eugenic
policy of controlled human breeding will be for many years politically
and psychologically impossible, it will be important for UNESCO to see
that the eugenic problem is examined with the greatest care and that the
public mind is informed of the issues at stake that much that is now
unthinkable may at least become thinkable."
1948 -- The
preliminary draft of a World Constitution is published by U.S. educators
advocating regional federation on the way toward world federation or
government with England incorporated into a European federation.
The
Constitution provides for a "World Council" along with a "Chamber of
Guardians" to enforce world law. Also included is a "Preamble" calling
upon nations to surrender their arms to the world government, and
includes the right of this "Federal Republic of the World" to seize
private property for federal use.
February 9, 1950 -- The Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee introduces Senate Concurrent Resolution 66 which begins:
"Whereas,
in order to achieve universal peace and justice, the present Charter of
the United Nations should be changed to provide a true world government
constitution."
The resolution was first introduced in the Senate
on September 13, 1949 by Senator Glen Taylor (D-Idaho). Senator
Alexander Wiley (R-Wisconsin) called it "a consummation devoutly to be
wished for" and said, "I understand your proposition is either change
the United Nations, or change or create, by a separate convention, a
world order." Senator Taylor later stated:
"We would have to
sacrifice considerable sovereignty to the world organization to enable
them to levy taxes in their own right to support themselves."
April 12, 1952
-- John Foster Dulles, later to become Secretary of State, says in a
speech to the American Bar Association in Louisville, Kentucky, that
"treaty laws can override the Constitution." He says treaties can take
power away from Congress and give them to the President. They can take
powers from the States and give them to the Federal Government or to
some international body and they can cut across the rights given to the
people by their constitutional Bill of Rights.
A Senate
amendment, proposed by GOP Senator John Bricker, would have provided
that no treaty could supersede the Constitution, but it fails to pass by
one vote.
1954 -- Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands
establishes the Bilderbergers, international politicians and bankers who
meet secretly on an annual basis.
1958 -- World Peace
through World Law is published, where authors Grenville Clark and Louis
Sohn advocate using the U.N. as a governing body for the world, world
disarmament, a world police force and legislature.
1959 -- The Council on Foreign Relations calls for a New International Order. Study Number 7, issued on November 25, advocated:

international order [which] must be responsive to world aspirations for
peace, for social and economic change...an international
order...including states labeling themselves as 'socialist'
[communist]."

Parliament Association is founded which later develops a Diagram of
World Government under the Constitution for the Federation of Earth.
1959
-- The Mid-Century Challenge to U.S. Foreign Policy is published,
sponsored by the Rockefeller Brothers' Fund. It explains that the U.S.:
"...cannot
escape, and indeed should welcome...the task which history has imposed
on us. This is the task of helping to shape a new world order in all its
dimensions -- spiritual, economic, political, social."
September 9, 1960
-- President Eisenhower signs Senate Joint Resolution 170, promoting
the concept of a federal Atlantic Union. Pollster and Atlantic Union
Committee treasurer, Elmo Roper, later delivers an address titled, The
Goal Is Government of All the World, in which he states:
"For it
becomes clear that the first step toward World Government cannot be
completed until we have advanced on the four fronts: the economic, the
military, the political and the social."
1961 -- The U.S.
State Department issues a plan to disarm all nations and arm the United
Nations. State Department Document Number 7277 is entitled Freedom From
War: The U.S. Program for General and Complete Disarmament in a Peaceful
World. It details a three-stage plan to disarm all nations and arm the
U.N. with the final stage in which "no state would have the military
power to challenge the progressively strengthened U.N. Peace Force."
1962
-- New Calls for World Federalism. In a study titled, A World
Effectively Controlled by the United Nations, CFR member Lincoln
Bloomfield states:
"...if the communist dynamic was greatly abated, the West might lose whatever incentive it has for world government."
The
Future of Federalism by author Nelson Rockefeller is published. The
one-time Governor of New York, claims that current events compellingly
demand a "new world order," as the old order is crumbling, and there is
"a new and free order struggling to be born." Rockefeller says there is:
"a
fever of nationalism...[but] the nation-state is becoming less and less
competent to perform its international political tasks....These are
some of the reasons pressing us to lead vigorously toward the true
building of a new world order...[with] voluntary service...and our
dedicated faith in the brotherhood of all mankind....Sooner perhaps than
we may realize...there will evolve the bases for a federal structure of
the free world."
1963 -- J. William Fulbright, Chairman
of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee speaks at a symposium
sponsored by the Fund for the Republic, a left-wing project of the Ford
Foundation:
"The case for government by elites is irrefutable...government by the people is possible but highly improbable."
1964 -- Taxonomy of Educational Objectives, Handbook II is published. Author Benjamin Bloom states:
"...a
large part of what we call 'good teaching' is the teacher's ability to
attain affective objectives through challenging the students' fixed
beliefs."
His Outcome-Based Education (OBE) method of teaching
would first be tried as Mastery Learning in Chicago schools. After five
years, Chicago students' test scores had plummeted causing outrage among
parents. OBE would leave a trail of wreckage wherever it would be tried
and under whatever name it would be used. At the same time, it would
become crucial to globalists for overhauling the education system to
promote attitude changes among school students.
1964 -- Visions of Order by Richard Weaver is published. He describes:
"progressive
educators as a 'revolutionary cabal' engaged in 'a systematic attempt
to undermine society's traditions and beliefs.'"

October issue of Foreign Affairs, Nixon writes of nations' dispositions
to evolve regional approaches to development needs and to the evolution
of a "new world order."
1968 -- Joy Elmer Morgan, former editor of the NEA Journal publishes The American Citizens Handbook in which he says:
"the
coming of the United Nations and the urgent necessity that it evolve
into a more comprehensive form of world government places upon the
citizens of the United States an increased obligation to make the most
of their citizenship which now widens into active world citizenship."
July 26, 1968
-- Nelson Rockefeller pledges support of the New World Order. In an
Associated Press report, Rockefeller pledges that, "as President, he
would work toward international creation of a new world order."

New World Order for the Decade 1990, author Ian Baldwin, Jr. asserts
that:
"...the World Law Fund has begun a worldwide research and
educational program that will introduce a new, emerging discipline --
world order -- into educational curricula throughout the world...and to
concentrate some of its energies on bringing basic world order concepts
into the mass media again on a worldwide level."
1972 --

"The
next century can be and should be the humanistic century...we stand at
the dawn of a new age...a secular society on a planetary scale....As

the division of humankind on nationalistic grounds....Thus we look to
the development of a system of world law and a world order based upon
transnational federal government....The true revolution is occurring."
April, 1974
-- Former U. S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, Trilateralist and
CFR member Richard Gardner's article The Hard Road to World Order is
published in the CFR's Foreign Affairs where he states that:
"the
'house of world order' will have to be built from the bottom up rather
than from the top down...but an end run around national sovereignty,
eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more than the
old-fashioned frontal assault."
1974 -- The World
Conference of Religion for Peace, held in Louvain, Belgium is held.
Douglas Roche presents a report entitled We Can Achieve a New World
Order.
The U.N. calls for wealth redistribution: In a report
entitled New International Economic Order, the U.N. General Assembly

Interdependence, written by historian Henry Steele Commager. The
Declaration states that:
"we must join with others to bring forth a
new world order...Narrow notions of national sovereignty must not be
permitted to curtail that obligation."
Congresswoman Marjorie Holt refuses to sign the Declaration saying:
"It
calls for the surrender of our national sovereignty to international
organizations. It declares that our economy should be regulated by
international authorities. It proposes that we enter a 'new world order'
that would redistribute the wealth created by the American people."
1975

"Once
the ruling members of the CFR have decided that the U.S. government
should espouse a particular policy, the very substantial research
facilities of the CFR are put to work to develop arguments, intellectual
and emotional, to support the new policy and to confound, discredit,
intellectually and politically, any opposition..."

"...if local civil government is necessary for local civil peace, then world civil government is necessary for world peace."
1979 -- Barry Goldwater, retiring Republican Senator from Arizona, publishes his autobiography With No Apologies. He writes:
"In
my view The Trilateral Commission represents a skillful, coordinated
effort to seize control and consolidate the four centers of power --
political, monetary, intellectual, and ecclesiastical. All this is to be
done in the interest of creating a more peaceful, more productive world
community. What the Trilateralists truly intend is the creation of a
worldwide economic power superior to the political governments of the
nation-states involved. They believe the abundant materialism they
propose to create will overwhelm existing differences. As managers and
creators of the system they will rule the future."
1984 -- The Power to Lead is published. Author James McGregor Burns admits:
"The
framers of the U.S. constitution have simply been too shrewd for us.
The have outwitted us. They designed separate institutions that cannot
be unified by mechanical linkages, frail bridges, tinkering. If we are
to 'turn the Founders upside down' -- we must directly confront the
constitutional structure they erected."
1985 -- Norman Cousins, the honorary chairman of Planetary Citizens for the World We Chose, is quoted in Human Events:
"World government is coming, in fact, it is inevitable. No arguments for or against it can change that fact."
Cousins
was also president of the World Federalist Association, an affiliate of
the World Association for World Federation (WAWF), headquartered in
Amsterdam. WAWF is a leading force for world federal government and is
accredited by the U.N. as a Non-Governmental Organization.
1987 -- The
Secret Constitution and the Need for Constitutional Change is sponsored
in part by the Rockefeller Foundation. Some thoughts of author Arthur
S. Miller are:
"...a pervasive system of thought control exists in
the United States...the citizenry is indoctrinated by employment of the
mass media and the system of public education...people are told what to
think about...the old order is crumbling...Nationalism should be seen as
a dangerous social disease...A new vision is required to plan and
manage the future, a global vision that will transcend national
boundaries and eliminate the poison of nationalistic solutions...a new
Constitution is necessary."
1988 -- Former Under-secretary of State and CFR member George Ball in a January 24 interview in the New York Times says:
"The
Cold War should no longer be the kind of obsessive concern that it is.
Neither side is going to attack the other deliberately...If we could
internationalize by using the U.N. in conjunction with the Soviet Union,
because we now no longer have to fear, in most cases, a Soviet veto,
then we could begin to transform the shape of the world and might get
the U.N. back to doing something useful...Sooner or later we are going
to have to face restructuring our institutions so that they are not
confined merely to the nation-states. Start first on a regional and
ultimately you could move to a world basis."
December 7, 1988 -- In an address to the U.N., Mikhail Gorbachev calls for mutual consensus:

Bernstein of Watergate fame) book Loyalties: A Son's Memoir is
published. His father and mother had been members of the Communist
party. Bernstein's father tells his son about the book:
"You're going
to prove [Sen. Joseph] McCarthy was right, because all he was saying is
that the system was loaded with Communists. And he was right...I'm
worried about the kind of book you're going to write and about cleaning
up McCarthy. The problem is that everybody said he was a liar; you're
saying he was right...I agree that the Party was a force in the
country."
1990 -- The World Federalist Association faults
the American press. Writing in their Summer/Fall newsletter, Deputy
Director Eric Cox describes world events over the past year or two and
declares:
"It's sad but true that the slow-witted American press has
not grasped the significance of most of these developments. But most
federalists know what is happening...And they are not frightened by the
old bug-a-boo of sovereignty."
September 11, 1990
-- President Bush calls the Gulf War an opportunity for the New World
Order. In an address to Congress entitled Toward a New World Order, Mr.
Bush says:

the new world is struggling to be born."

points of light....The winds of change are with us now."

program, CFR member and former CIA director Stansfield Turner (Rhodes
scholar), when asked about Iraq, responded:
"We have a much bigger
objective. We've got to look at the long run here. This is an example --

Nations is deliberately intruding into the sovereignty of a sovereign
nation...Now this is a marvelous precedent (to be used in) all countries
of the world..."
October 29, 1991 -- David Funderburk, former U. S. Ambassador to Romania, tells a North Carolina audience:
"George
Bush has been surrounding himself with people who believe in one-world
government. They believe that the Soviet system and the American system

Funderburk, is the United Nations, "the majority of whose 166 member
states are socialist, atheist, and anti-American." Funderburk served as

ourselves of their presence, we will be better able to move toward a new
world order...relying on the relevant mechanisms of the United
Nations."

be transferred to the third world.
July 20, 1992 -- TIME
magazine publishes The Birth of the Global Nation by Strobe Talbott,
Rhodes Scholar, roommate of Bill Clinton at Oxford University, CFR
Director, and Trilateralist, in which he writes:
"All countries are
basically social arrangements...No matter how permanent or even sacred
they may seem at any one time, in fact they are all artificial and
temporary...Perhaps national sovereignty wasn't such a great idea after
all...But it has taken the events in our own wondrous and terrible
century to clinch the case for world government."
As an editor of
Time, Talbott defended Clinton during his presidential campaign. He was
appointed by President Clinton as the number two person at the State
Department behind Secretary of State Warren Christopher, former

away."
Lord became an Assistant Secretary of State in the Clinton administration.
Winter, 1992-93
-- The CFR's Foreign Affairs publishes Empowering the United Nations by
U.N. Secretary General Boutros-Boutros Ghali, who asserts:
"It is
undeniable that the centuries-old doctrine of absolute and exclusive
sovereignty no longer stands...Underlying the rights of the individual
and the rights of peoples is a dimension of universal sovereignty that
resides in all humanity...It is a sense that increasingly finds
expression in the gradual expansion of international law...In this
setting the significance of the United Nations should be evident and
accepted."
1993 -- Strobe Talbott receives the Norman
Cousins Global Governance Award for his 1992 TIME article, The Birth of
the Global Nation and in appreciation for what he has done "for the
cause of global governance." President Clinton writes a letter of
congratulation which states:
"Norman Cousins worked for world peace
and world government...Strobe Talbott's lifetime achievements as a voice
for global harmony have earned him this recognition...He will be a
worthy recipient of the Norman Cousins Global Governance Award. Best
wishes...for future success."
Not only does President Clinton use
the specific term, "world government," but he also expressly wishes the
WFA "future success" in pursuing world federal government. Talbott
proudly accepts the award, but says the WFA should have given it to the
other nominee, Mikhail Gorbachev.
July 18, 1993 -- CFR member and Trilateralist Henry Kissinger writes in the Los Angeles Times concerning NAFTA:

January/February, 1994
-- The CFR's Foreign Affairs prints an opening article by CFR Senior
Fellow Michael Clough in which he writes that the "Wise Men" (e.g. Paul
Nitze, Dean Acheson, George Kennan, and John J. McCloy) have:
"assiduously
guarded it [American foreign policy] for the past 50 years...They
ascended to power during World War II...This was as it should be.
National security and the national interest, they argued must transcend
the special interests and passions of the people who make up
America...How was this small band of Atlantic-minded internationalists
able to triumph?...Eastern internationalists were able to shape and
staff the burgeoning foreign policy institutions...As long as the Cold
War endured and nuclear Armageddon seemed only a missile away, the
public was willing to tolerate such an undemocratic foreign policy
making system."
1995 -- The State of the World Forum took
place in the fall of this year, sponsored by the Gorbachev Foundation
located at the Presidio in San Francisco. Foundation President Jim
Garrison chairs the meeting of who's-whos from around the world
including Margaret Thatcher, Maurice Strong, George Bush, Mikhail
Gorbachev and others. Conversation centers around the oneness of mankind
and the coming global government. However, the term "global governance"
is now used in place of "new world order" since the latter has become a
political liability, being a lightning rod for opponents of global
government.
1996 -- The United Nations 420-page report Our
Global Neighborhood is published. It outlines a plan for "global
governance," calling for an international Conference on Global
Governance in 1998 for the purpose of submitting to the world the

make global government a reality. We could not fit them all in here.
