New leader of Indonesia meets with UN Secretary General over conditions in East Timor |
The formation of a world “Criminal” court is the final awareness that world government is upon us, there is no turning back. The three largest nation states on the planet came together to collectively oppose the formation of this court because they correctly assumed that it was infringe on their national sovereignty. One finds it hard to image common ground between China, India and the United States, but this issue is one they share. But, changes, gradual and compellingly supported by the vast majority of the people of the planet can not be stopped. This was the case with the movement to ban land mines, lead by individual people and humans acting in concert the treaty was established only a few short months ago and work is well underway for a similar but more complicated world wide control on the spread of assault weapons of every kind. You will note that the largest national states uniformly opposed the land mine treaty and also balk at the small arms control movement. But it is a certainty that like the world court to prosecute crimes against humanity the spread of weapons of war will be brought to a solution. | ||
In Europe, though England and one or two others definitely oppose the use of the Eurodollar it is now a reality. The banks of the far East attempted to act as they had, as organs of their nation states, only to discover that their practices were no longer accepted and the economic crisis of the past year has developed. No longer are nation states going to “money markets” to handle economic shortcomings, the “IMF” (International Monitory Fund) is now the world bank that controls economies everywhere and in some ways dictates policy and even influences social programmes. | |||
Long we have been warned of the dangers of Multinational corporations and their hapless behaviour toward everyone for the sake of profits. The solution to this is not stronger national governance to control them, but the need for world supervision that will bring them into line with the social and ecological needs of the planet as a whole. If you select any specific problem, you will discover that in the light of this present day world, we are more interdependent world wide, then has ever been the case and that trend can not be reversed. Flu in Capetown spreads to Sydney then to San Francisco and Vancouver as fast as a Boeing can get there. AIDs affects the world population, not just the folks on Penner and Granville, just as a three nothing win by France over Brazil is experienced in Hong Kong and Buenos Aires at the same time. | |||
