One came to the conclusion that the U.N.'s action was intended to make it more difficult for correspondents to let the world know what was going on in Katanga...(1) -- Smith Hempstone Rebels, Mercenaries, and Dividends, 1962 Early in 1987, millions of American television viewers tuned in to watch the dramatic ABC mini-series, AMERIKA. What they saw was a grim, menacing portrayal of life in our nation after it had been taken over by a Soviet-controlled United Nations force. Their TV sets showed a foreboding picture of America as an occupied police-state, complete with concentration camps, brainwashing, neighborhood spies, and Soviet-UN troops, tanks and helicopter gunships enforcing "the rule of law." Liberals angrily denounced the mini-series, claiming it demonized both the Soviets and the UN and insisting that it would rekindle anti-communist hysteria at a time when Soviet-American relations were at their best point since the end of World War II. The fact that Soviet troops were at that very time committing real atrocities against the peoples of Afghanistan didn't matter. UN officials, furious about the way their organization was being portrayed, even tried to have the program cancelled.(2) Why all the furor? Is the UN's image so sacrosanct or the goal of US-Soviet rapprochement so sacred that even fictional tarnishing is akin to blasphemy? After all, it was just a television program. Haven't there been scores of highly acclaimed Hollywood productions depicting the U.S. military and American patriots in similarly bad or even far worse light? Besides, the totalitarianism depicted in AMERIKA could never happen here. Could it? Dress Rehearsal? You may be surprised to learn that it HAS ALREADY HAPPENED HERE. NO, not in the same manner and on the same scale as viewers saw in the television series, but in an alarming real-life parallel of that dramatic production What follows is the true, but little-known story of the "invasion" of about a dozen American cities by "UN forces," as told by economist/author Dr. V. Orval Watts in his 1955 book, THE UNITED NATIONS: PLANNED TYRANNY. At Fort MacArthur, California, and in other centers, considerable numbers of American military forces went into training in 1951 as "Military Government Reserve Units." What they were for may appear from their practice maneuvers during the two years, 1951-1952. Their first sally took place on July 31, 1951, when they simulated an invasion and seizure of nine California cities: Compton, Culver City, Inglewood, Hawthorne, Huntington Park, Long Beach, Redondo Beach, South Gate and Torrance. The invading forces, however, did not fly the American flag. They came in under the flag of the United Nations, and their officers stated that they represented the United Nations. These forces arrested the mayors and police chiefs, and pictures later appeared in the newspapers showing these men in jail. The officers issued manifestoes reading "by virtue of the authority vested in me by the United Nations Security Council." At Huntington Park they held a flag- raising ceremony, taking down the American flag and running up in its place the United Nations banner. On April 3,1952, other units did the same thing at Lampasas, Texas. They took over the town, closed churches, strutted their authority over the teachers and posted guards in classrooms, set up concentration camps, and interned businessmen after holding brief one-sided trials without HABEAS CORPUS. Said a newspaper report of that Texas invasion: "But the staged action almost became actual drama when one student and two troopers forgot it was only make-believe. 'Ain't nobody going to make me get up,' cried John Snell, 17, his face beet-red. One of the paratroopers shoved the butt of his rifle within inches of Snell's face and snarled, 'You want this butt placed in your teeth? Get up.'" The invaders put up posters listing many offenses for which citizens would be punished. One of them read:"25. Publishing or circulating or having in his possession with intent to publish or circulate, any printed or written matter ... hostile, detrimental, or disrespectful ... to the Government of any other of the United Nations." Think back to the freedom-of-speech clause of the United States Constitution which every American officer and official is sworn to support and defend. What was in the minds of those who prepared, approved and posted these UN proclamations? The third practice seizure under the United Nations flag occurred at Watertown, New York, August 20, 1952, more than a year later than the first ones. It followed the same pattern set in the earlier seizures in California and Texas. Is this a foretaste of World Government, which so many Americans seem to want?(3) Who ordered these "mock" UN invasions? And to what purpose were they carried out? Do answers to these questions really matter? Or are these merely idle concerns about curious but irrelevant events that happened decades ago and have no bearing on our lives today? Events, developments, and official policies in the succeeding years, under both Republican and Democratic administrations, indicate that the mock invasions of the early 1950s do matter and that they do have a bearing on our lives today. The dress-rehearsal takeovers of American cities described above occurred just six years after the founding of the United Nations, while the organization was still enjoying widespread public support. American military personnel were at that very time fighting and dying under the UN flag in Korea. But as recounted in our previous chapter, a decade later in September of 1961, the President of the United States would propose a phased transfer of America's military forces to the UN. Under such a plan, our Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, even our nuclear arsenal, would be given over to UN command, making it possible for our nation's military forces to be used in a REAL U.N. invasion at some future date anywhere in the world. Interestingly, the Kennedy FREEDOM FROM WAR plan differed little from one proposed earlier that same month by the Soviet-dominated "nonaligned" nations at a conference held in Belgrade, Yugoslavia.(4) And it was merely an expansion of the policy enunciated by Secretary of State Christian Herter (CFR) during the latter days of the Eisenhower Administration. But few Americans even saw, and fewer still ever read and understood the incredible disarmament document. For those who did see, read and understand it, however, there could be no doubt that it created a path leading to global dictatorship. If the American public had been aware of FREEDOM FROM WAR and a number of then-classified government studies being prepared at that time -- each of which spelled out even more explicitly the intent of government and Establishment elitists to surrender America to an all-powerful United Nations -- there may well have been a popular uprising that would have swept all of the internationalist schemers from public office and public trust. In February 1961, seven months before the President released the FREEDOM FROM WAR plan to the public, his State Department, led by Secretary of State Dean Rusk (CFR), hired the private Institute for Defense Analyses (contract No. SCC 28270) to prepare a study showing how disarmament could be employed to lead to world government. On March 10, 1962, the Institute delivered Study Memorandum No. 7, A WORLD EFFECTIVELY CONTROLLED BY THE UNITED NATIONS, written by Lincoln P. Bloomfield (CFR).(5) Dr. Bloomfield had himself recently served with the State Department's disarmament staff, and while writing his important work was serving as an associate professor of political science and director of the Arms Control Project at the Center for International Studies, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This Bloomfield/IDA report is especially significant because the author is uncharacteristically candid, eschewing the usual euphemisms, code words, and double-talk found in typical "world order" pronouncements meant for public consumption. The author believed he was addressing fellow internationalists in a classified memorandum that would never be made available for public scrutiny. So he felt he could speak plainly. Here is the document's opening passage, labeled SUMMARY: A world effectively controlled by the United Nations is one in which "world government" would come about through the establishment of supranational institutions, characterized by mandatory universal membership and some ability to employ physical force. Effective control would thus entail a preponderance of political power in the hands of a supranational organization... [T]he present UN Charter could theoretically be revised in order to erect such an organization equal to the task envisaged, thereby codifying a radical rearrangement of power in the world. Dr. Bloomfield was still fudging a little as he began. The phrase "some ability to employ physical force" was more than a slight understatement, as the bulk of the report makes abundantly clear. He continued: The principal features of a model system would include the following: (1) powers sufficient to monitor and enforce disarmament, settle disputes, and keep the peace -- including taxing powers -- with all other powers reserved to the nations; (2) an international force, balanced appropriately among ground, sea, air, and space elements, consisting of 500,000 men, recruited individually, wearing a UN uniform, and controlling a nuclear force composed of 60-100 mixed land-based mobile and undersea-based missiles, averaging one megaton per weapon; (3) governmental powers distributed among three branches...; (4) compulsory jurisdiction of the International Court...(6) "The notion of a 'UN-controlled world' is today a fantastic one," the professor wrote. "... Political scientists have generally come to despair of quantum jumps to world order as utopian and unmindful of political realities. But fresh minds from military, scientific, and industrial life ... have sometimes found the logic of world government -- and it is world government we are discussing here -- inescapable."(7) Dr. Bloomfield then cited Christian Herter's speech of February 18, 1960, in which the Secretary of State called for disarmament "to the point where no single nation or group of nations could effectively oppose this enforcement of international law by international machinery."(8) To this CFR-affiliated academic, who had recently worked for the disarmament agency where Herter's speech had most likely been written, there was no question about the meaning of the Secretary of State's words. "Here, then," said Bloomfield, "is the basis in recent American policy for the notion of a world 'effectively controlled by the United Nations.' It was not made explicit, but the United States position carried the unmistakable meaning, by whatever name, of world government, sufficiently powerful in any event to keep the peace and enforce its judgments."9 Then, to be absolutely certain that there would be no confusion or misunderstanding about his meaning, he carefully defined his terms: "World" means that the system is global, with no exceptions to its fiat: universal membership. "Effectively controlled" connotes ... a relative monopoly of physical force at the center of the system, and thus a preponderance of political power in the hands of a supranational organization..." "The United Nations" is not necessarily precisely the organization as it now exists... FINALLY, TO AVOID ENDLESS EUPHEMISM AND EVASIVE VERBAGE, THE CONTEMPLATED REGIME WILL OCCASIONALLY BE REFERRED TO UNBLUSHINGLY AS A "WORLD GOVERNMENT." (10) [Emphasis added] If government is "force" -- as George Washington so simply and accurately defined it -- then world government is "world force." Which means that Bloomfield and those who commissioned his report and agreed with its overall recommendations wanted to create a global entity with a monopoly of force -- a political, even military power undisputedly superior to any single nation-state or any possible alliance of national or regional forces. It is as simple as that. "The appropriate degree of relative force," the Bloomfield/IDA study concluded, "would ... involve total disarmament down to police and internal security levels for the constituent units, as against a significant conventional capability at the center backed by a marginally significant nuclear capability."(11) Again and again as the following excerpts demonstrate, the study drives its essential points home: * "National disarmament is a condition SINE QUA NON for effective UN control... [W]ithout it, effective UN control is not possible."(12) * "The essential point is the transfer of the most vital element of sovereign power from the states to a supranational government."(13) * "The overwhelming central fact would still be the loss of control of their military power by individual nations."(14) Putting Theory Into Practice While Dr. Bloomfield was still writing his treatise for global rule, the hapless residents of a small corner of Africa were experiencing the terrible reality of "a world effectively controlled by the United Nations." The site chosen for the debut of the UN's version of " peacekeeping" was Katanga, a province in what was then known as the Belgian Congo. The center of world attention 30 years ago, the name Katanga draws a complete blank from most people today. Katanga and its tragic experience have been expunged from history, consigned to the memory hole. The region appears on today's maps as the Province of Shaba in Zaire. But for one brief, shining moment, the courageous people in this infant nation stood as the singular testament to the capability of the newly independent Africans to govern themselves as free people with a sense of peace, order, and justice. While all around them swirled a maelstrom of violent, communist inspired revolution and bloody tribal warfare, the Katangese distinguished themselves as a paradigm of racial, tribal, and class harmony.(15) What they stood for could not be tolerated by the forces of "anti-colonialism" in the Kremlin, the U.S. State Department, the Western news media, and especially the United Nations.(16) The stage was already set for the horrible drama that would soon unfold when Belgium's King Baudouin announced independence for the Belgian Congo on June 30,1960. The Soviets, who had been agitating and organizing in the Congo for years, were ready. Patrice Lumumba was their man, bought and paid for with cash, arms, luxuries, and all the women, gin, and hashish he wanted. With his Soviet and Czech "diplomats" and "technicians" who swarmed all over the Congo, Lumumba was able to control the Congo elections.(17) With Lumumba as premier and Joseph Kasavubu as president, peaceful independence lasted one week. Then Lumumba unleashed a communist reign of terror against the populace, murdering and torturing men, women, and children. Amidst this sea of carnage and terror, the province of Katanga remained, by comparison, an island of peace, order, and stability. Under the able leadership of the courageous Moise Kapenda Tshombe, Katanga declared its independence from the central Congolese regime. "I am seceding from chaos," declared President Tshombe, a devout Christian and an ardent anti-communist.(18) These were the days when the whole world witnessed the cry and the reality of "self determination" as it swept through the African continent. Anyone should have expected that Katanga's declaration of independence would have been greeted with the same huzzahs at the UN and elsewhere that similar declarations from dozens of communist revolutionary movements and pip-squeak dictatorships had evoked. But it was Tshombe's misfortune to be pro-Western, pro-free enterprise, and pro-constitutionally limited government at a time when the governments of both the U.S. and the USSR were supporting Marxist "liberators" throughout the world. Nikita Khrushchev declared Tshombe to be "a turncoat, a traitor to the interests of the Congolese people."(19) American liberals and the rabble at the UN dutifully echoed the hue and cry. To our nation's everlasting shame, on July 14, 1960, the U.S. joined with the USSR in support of a UN resolution authorizing the world body to send troops to the Congo.(20) These troops were used, NOT to stop the bloody reign of terror being visited on the rest of the Congo, but to assist Lumumba, the chief terrorist, in his efforts to subjugate Katanga. Within four days of the passage of that resolution, thousands of UN troops were flown on U.S. transports into the Congo, where they joined in the campaign against the only island of sanity in all of black Africa. Smith Hempstone, African correspondent for the Chicago Daily News, gave this firsthand account of the December 1961 UN attack on Elisabethville, the capital of Katanga: The U.N. jets next turned their attention to the center of the city. Screaming in at treetop level ... they blasted the post office and the radio station, severing Katanga's communications with the outside world... One came to the conclusion that the U.N.'s action was intended to make it more difficult for correspondents to let the world know what was going on in Katanga... A car pulled up in front of the Grand Hotel Leopold II where all of us were staying. "Look at the work of the American criminals," sobbed the Belgian driver. "Take a picture and send it to Kennedy!" In the backseat, his eyes glazed with shock, sat a wounded African man cradling in his arms the body of his ten-year-old son. The child's face and belly had been smashed to jelly by mortar fragments.(21) The 46 doctors of Elisabethville -- Belgian, Swiss, Hungarian, Brazilian, and Spanish -- unanimously issued a joint report indicting the United Nations atrocities against innocent civilians. This is part of their account of a UN attack on a hospital: The Shinkolobwe hospital is visibly marked with an enormous red cross on the roof... In the maternity, roof, ceilings, walls, beds, tables and chairs are riddled with bullets... 4 Katangan women who had just been delivered and one new-born child are wounded, a visiting child of 4 years old is killed; two men and one child are killed...(22) The UN atrocities escalated. Unfortunately, we do not have space here to devote to relating more of the details of this incredibly vicious chapter of UN history -- even though the progress toward establishing a permanent UN army makes full knowledge of every part of it more vital than ever. Among the considerable body of additional testimony about the atrocities, we highly recommend THE FEARFUL MASTER by G. Edward Griffin; WHO KILLED THE CONGO? by Philippa Schuyler; REBELS, MERCENARIES, AND DIVIDENDS by Smith Hempstone; and 46 Angry Men by the 46 doctors of Elisabethville. In 1962, a private group of Americans, outraged at our government's actions against the freedom-seeking Katangese, attempted to capture on film the truth about what was happening in the Congo. They produced KATANGA: THE UNTOLD STORY, an hour-long documentary narrated by Congressman Donald L. Jackson. With newsreel footage and testimony from eyewitnesses, including a compelling interview with Tshombe himself, the program exposed the criminal activities and brutal betrayal perpetrated on a peaceful people by the Kennedy Administration, other Western leaders, and top UN officials. It documents the fact that UN (including U.S.) planes deliberately bombed Katanga's schools, hospitals, and churches, while UN troops machine-gunned and bayoneted civilians, school children, and Red Cross workers who tried to help the wounded. This film is now available on videotape,(23) and is "must-viewing" for Americans who are determined that this land or any other land shall never experience similar UN atrocities. After waging three major offensive campaigns against the fledgling state, the UN "peace" forces overwhelmed Katanga and forced it back under communist rule. Even though numerous international observers witnessed and publicly protested the many atrocities committed by the UN'S forces, the world body has never apologized for or admitted to its wrongdoing. In fact, the UN and its internationalist cheering section continue to refer to this shameful episode as a resounding success.(24) Which indeed it was, if one keeps in mind the true goal of the organization. Following the Policy Line Why did the government of the United States side with the Soviet Union and the United Nations in their support of communists Lumumba and Kasavubu and their denunciation of Tshombe? Why did our nation supply military assistance to and an official endorsement of the UN's military action against Katanga? The answer to both questions is that our government was guided by the same "world order" policy line laid out by the New York Times in its hard-to-believe editorial of August 16, 1961: [W]e must seek to discourage anti-Communist revolts in order to avert bloodshed and war. We must, under our own principles, live with evil even if by doing so we help to stabilize tottering Communist regimes, as in East Germany, and perhaps even expose citadel of freedom, like West Berlin, to slow death by strangulation.(25) Further elaboration on this theme is revealed in a 1963 study conducted for the United States Arms Control and Disarmament Agency by the Peace Research Institute. Published in April of that year, here's what our tax dollars produced: Whether we admit it to ourselves or not, we benefit enormously from the capability of the Soviet police system to keep law and order over the 200 million odd Russians and the many additional millions in the satellite states. The break-up of the Russian Communist empire today would doubtless be conducive to freedom, but would be a good deal more catastrophic for world order...(26) "We benefit enormously?" Who is this "we"? Certainly not the American taxpayer, who carried the tax burden for the enormous military expenditures needed to "contain" Soviet expansionism. And who determined that freedom must be sacrificed in the name of "world order"? Dr. Bloomfield, in the same classified IDA study cited earlier, again let the world-government cat out of the bag. If the communists remained too militant and threatening, he observed, "the subordination of states to a true world government appears impossible; BUT IF THE COMMUNIST DYNAMIC WERE GREATLY ABATED, THE WEST MIGHT WELL LOSE WHATEVER INCENTIVE IT HAS FOR WORLD GOVERNMENT." (27) ( Emphasis added) In other words, the world order Insiders were faced with the following conundrum: How do we make the Soviets menacing enough to convince Americans that world government is the only answer because confrontation is untenable; but, at the same time, not make the Soviets so menacing that Americans would decide to fight rather than become subject to communist tyrants? Are we unfairly stretching these admissions? Not at all. Keep in mind that from the end of World War II, up to the very time these statements were being written, the communists had brutally added Albania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Poland, Romania, Czechoslovakia, North Korea, Hungary, East Germany, China, Tibet, North Vietnam, and Cuba to their satellite empire and were aggressively instigating revolutions throughout Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. And, as was later demonstrated by the historical research of Dr. Antony Sutton and other scholars, all of these Soviet conquests had been immeasurably helped by massive and continuous transfusions from the West to the Kremlin of money, credit, technology, and scientific knowledge(28) It was arranged for and provided by the same CFR-affiliated policy elitists who recognized in the "communist dynamic" they created an "incentive" for the people in the West to accept "world government." Project Phoenix The U.S. Departments of State and Defense funded numerous other studies about US-USSR convergence and world order under UN control. In 1964, the surfacing of the Project Phoenix reports generated sufficient constituent concern to prompt several members of Congress to protest the funding of such studies.(29) But there was not enough pressure to force Congress to launch full investigations that could have led to putting an end to taxpayer funding of these serious attacks on American security and our constitutional system of government. Produced by the Institute for Defense Analyses for the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, the Phoenix studies openly advocated "unification" of the U.S. and USSR.(30) The following passages taken from Study Phoenix Paper dated June 4, 1963 leaves no doubt about this goal: Unification -- ... At present the approach ... may appear so radical that it will be dismissed out of hand; nevertheless, its logical simplicity... is so compelling that it seems to warrant more systematic investigation... Today, the United States and the Soviet Union combined have for all practical purposes a near monopoly of force in the world. If the use and direction of this power could somehow be synchronized, stability and, indeed even unity might be within reach.(31) The Phoenix studies, like many other government reports before and after, urged increased U.S. economic, scientific, and agricultural assistance to the Soviet Union. These recommendations are totally consistent with the long-range "merger" plans admitted to a decade before by Ford Foundation President Rowan Gaither. And both Republican and Democratic administrations have followed the same overall policy ever since. But world order think-tank specialists like Bloomfield realized that the incremental progress made through these programs was too slow. He even lamented that reaching the final goal "could take up to two hundred years."(32) Bloomfield then noted that there was "an alternate road" to merger and eventual world government, one that "relies on a grave crisis or war to bring about a sudden transformation in national attitudes sufficient for the purpose."(33) The taxpayer-funded academic explained that "the order we examine may be brought into existence as a result of a series of sudden, nasty, and traumatic shocks."(34) Incredible? Impossible? Couldn't happen here? Many Americans thought so 30 years ago -- before "perestroika," the Persian Gulf War, propaganda about global warming, and other highly publicized developments. But by the fall of 1990, Newsweek magazine would be reporting on the emerging reality of "Superpowers as Superpartners" and "a new order... the United States and the Soviet Union, united for crisis management around the globe."(35) [Emphasis added] In a seeming tipping of his hat to Bloomfield, President Bush would state in his official August 1991 report, NATIONAL SECURITY STRATEGY OF THE UNITED STATES: "I hope history will record that the Gulf crisis was the crucible of the new world order."(36) The CFR's house academics were already beating the convergence drums. Writing in the Winter 1990 issue of Foreign Policy ( published by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace), Thomas G. Weiss (CFR) and Meryl A. Kessler exhorted: "If Washington is to seize the full potential of this opportunity, it will have to ... begin to treat the Soviet Union as a real partner." The long-planned partnership began to take form officially with the signing of "A Charter for American-Russian Partnership and Friendship" by Presidents Bush and Yeltsin on June 17, 1992. Among the many commitments for joint action in this agreement, we find the following: * "... Summit meetings will be held on a regular basis"; * "The United States of America and the Russian Federation recognize the importance of the United Nations Security Council" and support "the strengthening of UN peace-keeping"; * The parties are determined "to cooperate in the development of ballistic missile defense capabilities and technologies," and work toward creation of a joint "Ballistic Missile Early Warning Center"; * "In view of the potential for building a strategic partnership between the United States of America and the Russian Federation the parties intend to accelerate defense cooperation between their military establishments ..."; and * "The parties will also pursue cooperation in peacekeeping counter-terrorism, and counter-narcotics missions."(37) Before this charter had even been signed, however, our new " partners" were already landing their bombers on American soil. AIRMAN, a magazine for the U.S. Air Force, reported in large headlines for the cover story of its July 1992 issue: "The Russians Have Landed." The cover also featured a photo of the two Russian Tu-95 Bear bombers and an An-124 transport which had landed on May 9th at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana. An accompanying article noted that the Russians were given "a rousing salute from a brass band and a thrilled gathering of Air Force people and civilians who waved U.S. and Commonwealth of Independent States flags." The long-standing plan of the Insiders calls for a merger of the U.S. and the USSR (or Commonwealth of Independent States as it has become) and then world government under the United Nations (see Chapter 5). Details leading to completion of the plan are unfolding week after week, month after month, before an almost totally unaware America. ---------------------------------------- Copyright 1992 by Western Islands Published by : Western Islands, P.O.

Jasper (To order: 414-749-3783) CHAPTER 5 The Drive for World Government [T]here is going to be no steady progress in civilization or self-government among the more backward peoples until some kind of international system is created which will put an end to the diplomatic struggles incident to the attempt of every nation to make itself secure... The real problem today is that of world government.(1) -- Philip Kerr Foreign Affairs, December 1922 There is no indication that American public opinion, for example, would approve the establishment of a super state, or permit American membership in it. In other words time -- a long time -- will be needed before world government is politically feasible... [T]his time element might seemingly be shortened so far as American opinion is concerned by an active propaganda campaign in this country...(2) -- Allen W. Dulles (CFR) and Beatrice Pitney Lamb Foreign Policy Association, 1946 [T]here is no longer a question of whether or not there will be world government by the year 2000. As I see it, the questions we should be addressing to ourselves are: how it will come into being -- by cataclysm, drift, more or less rational design -- and whether it will be totalitarian, benignly elitist, or participatory (the probabilities being in that order.)(3) -- Saul H. Mendlovitz, director World Order Models Project, 1975 A major obstacle to alerting Americans about plans to cancel our national sovereignty and personal freedoms and to submerge the United States in a world government is the dissembling double-talk and outright lying routinely employed by the world government advocates. While groups like Planetary Citizens, the World Federalist Association, the Association of World Citizens, the Committee to Frame a World Constitution, the World Constitution and Parliament Association, the World Association for World Federation, etc. have usually flown their world government flag openly, the Council on Foreign Relations and other Establishment groups seeking world government prefer to obfuscate their aims with terms like "collective security," "the rule of law," "world law," "global institutions," "interdependence," and "world order." As we have already shown and will further demonstrate, the CFR and its influential members are also on record favoring and promoting world government. However, most of these public CFR utterances have appeared in publications and speeches intended for a select, sympathetic audience where the NEW WORLD ORDER adepts can "unblushingly" (in the words of Lincoln Bloomfield) contemplate and discuss "world government."(4) World government is not a subject to which most Americans, or other peoples of the world for that matter, give much serious thought. However, if John Q. Citizen does become cognizant of and disturbed about the threat of an emerging global leviathan, and if he expresses this concern to his congressman, senator, or local newspaper editor, he either meets with derisive charges that he is chasing chimera, or he is provided with solemn denials that plans for world government are even being considered. This writer experienced a typical example of this derision/denial paradigm in November 1990 at a branch of Purdue University in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The occasion was a Citizens Forum to discuss "America's Role in the New World Order." It featured as its three leading participants: Charles William Maynes (CFR), editor of FOREIGN POLICY; Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist David Broder; and Senator Richard Lugar (R-IN), former chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. All three of these Establishment internationalists enthusiastically touted the newly enhanced role of the United Nations as a result of the Persian Gulf War and embraced President Bush's oft-mentioned NEW WORLD ORDER. Attending as a member of the press, I questioned each of them concerning the meaning of the term "NEW WORLD ORDER" and its relationship to "a strengthened UN." All denied that there were any plans to transform the UN into a world government. " Nobody even talks about world government anymore, or seriously considers it," said Charles Maynes. People gave up on that idea 30 years ago." Maynes, whose journal is published by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, one of the premier fountains of world government propaganda, obviously knows better because he regularly publishes the Establishment world order line. Most Americans, however, find it difficult to believe that individuals in prestigious positions, like Maynes, the* senator, or the President, would lie to them or deceive them. But it is time to face facts: The historical record and the unfolding of current events patently contradict the denials and expose them for lies. It daily becomes more obvious that the world government advocates are pushing toward their goal with increased zeal and audacity. At the time of the Purdue conference, President Bush was pressing for the most far-reaching transfers of authority, prestige, and power to the United Nations that have taken place since its founding. Under the pretext of saving the people of Kuwait from the "naked aggression" of Saddam Hussein, he trumpeted his "NEW WORLD ORDER" gospel almost daily, even including as its centerpiece a call for new military muscle for the world body. In the succeeding months, as we have mentioned in previous chapters, he went even further, supporting UN Secretary-General Boutros-Ghali's call for a permanent UN Army and pledging America's economic and military support for the revolutionary venture. Extensive Evidence of Intent Anyone who is willing to spend a little time in a library researching this issue will have little difficulty verifying that the movement for world government has been underway in earnest for many decades. It has been led and supported by CFR members and their kindred spirits for most of this century. They have left a revealing trail of books, articles, studies, proclamation, and other documents, some blatantly obvious, others more discreetly veiled -- that unmistakably confirm their intention. During the 1930s, '40s, and '50s, many influential works by noted political leaders and intellectuals openly called for the supplanting of national governments by a one-world government. In his 1940 book, THE NEW WORLD ORDER, for instance, popular British novelist and historian H. G. Wells denounced "nationalist individualism" as "the world's disease" and proposed ag an alternative a "collectivist one-world state."(5) Wells, a leading member of the Fabian Socialist Society, stated further: [T]hese two things, 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.(6) [Emphasis in original] That same year saw publication of THE CITY OF MAN: A DECLARATION ON WORLD DEMOCRACY, which called for a "new order" where "All states, deflated and disciplined, must align themselves under the law of the world-state..."(7) Penned by radical theologian Reinhold Niebuhr, socialist philosopher Lewis Mumford, and other famous literati, it was greeted with critical acclaim by the CFR Establishment media. "Universal peace," these one-worlders declared, "can be founded only on the unity of man under one law and one government."(8) No, they were not envisioning the Second Coming of Jesus Christ and a world subject to God's rule; they had in mind a worldly kingdom of their own making. In the fall of 1945, immediately following the UN founding conference in San Francico, some of America's most famous educators met at the Rockefeller-endowed University of Chicago to propose the creation of an Institute of World Government. Their proposal resulted in the Committee to Frame a World Constitution, under the chairmanship of University of Chicago Chancellor Robert Maynard Hutchins.(9) Chancellor Hutchins was the Establishment's golden boy" of academe and the logical choice to lead the One-World crusade among the nation's intelligentsia. The Committee was heavy with "Hutchins' boys" from the University of Chicago faculty: Mortimer Adler, Richard McKeon, Robert Redfield, Wilbur Katz, and Rexford Guy Tugwell. They were joined by such luminaries as Stringfellow Barr (St. John's College), Albert Guerard (Stanford), Harold Innis (Toronto), Charles McIlwain (Harvard), and Erich Kahler (Princeton).(10) In 1948, the Committee unveiled its PRELIMINARY DRAFT OF A WORLD CONSTITUTION, published by the University of Chicago Press.(11) The principal author of this document was the Committee's secretary-general, G.A. Borgese, a renowned author of books dealing with literary criticism, history, and political science and a professor of romance languages at the University of Chicago. The following year, Senator Glen Taylor of Idaho introduced a resolution in the U.S. Senate stating that "the present Charter of the United Nations should be changed to provide a true world government constitution."(12) Authored by Borgese, Hutchins, Tugwell, et al., it was reintroduced in 1950.(13) John Foster Dulles (CFR), who would become President Eisenhower's first Secretary of State, added his considerable influence to the world government campaign in 1950 with the publication of his book, WAR OR PEACE. "THE UNITED NATIONS," he wrote, "represents not a final stage in the development of world order, but only a primitive stage. Therefore its primary task is to create the conditions which will make possible a more highly developed organization."(14) A founding member of the CFR and one of Colonel House's young proteges, Dulles was a delegate to the UN founding conference. He had married into the Rockefeller family and eventually served as chairman of both the Rockefeller Foundation and the Carnegie Endowment. It was Chairman Dulles who chose Communist Alger Hiss to be president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.(15) Earlier, Dulles had turned his attention toward religion and, in 1941, had become the first chairman of the Commission on a Just and Durable Peace of the subversive Federal Council of Churches. The efforts to draft a set of internationalist principles on which peace might be built sounded to him, he said, like an echo of the Gospels.(16) His commission's first order of business was to pass a resolution proclaiming that a world of irresponsible, competing and unrestrained national sovereignties, whether acting alone or in alliance or in coalition, is a world of international anarchy. It must make place for a higher and more inclusive authority.(17) Dulles's credentials as a certified, top-level Establishment Insider intimately involved in the design and creation of the UN make this following quote from War or Peace especially significant. He wrote: I have never seen any proposal made for collective security with "teeth" in it, or for "world government" or for "world federation," which could not be carried out either by the United Nations or under the United Nations Charter.(18) That same year, 1950, fellow one-world Insider James P. Warburg (CFR) would testify before the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee, claiming: We shall have world government, whether or not we like it. The question is only whether world government will be achieved by consent or by conquest.(19) Additional intellectual ammunition for the campaign came with publication of FOUNDATIONS OF THE WORLD REPUBLIC by Professor Borgese in 1953. There was no mistaking the book's intent; the publisher (again, the University of Chicago Press) had this to say in the opening sentences of the promotional fly-leaf of the book's dust jacket: WORLD GOVERNMENT, asserts Mr. Borgese, is inevitable. It will be born in one of two ways. It may come as a World Empire, with mass enslavement imposed by the victor of World War III; or it may take the form of a World Federal Republic, established by gradual integration of the United Nations.(20) [Emphasis in original] Immediately below that promotional blurb appeared this endorsement from University of Chicago Professor Robert Redfield: "This book is about the necessary interdependence of peace, justice, and power. It is an argument for world government. It is a revelation that justice is, in the end, love." At about the same time Saturday Review was candidly editorializing: If UNESCO is attacked on the grounds that it is helping to prepare the world's peoples for world government, then it is an error to burst forth with apologetic statements and denials. Let us face it: the job of UNESCO is to help create and promote the elements of world citizenship. When faced with such a "charge," let us by all means affirm it from the housetops.(21) Lewis Mumford added more endorsements for the idea of a world state with statements like the following from THE TRANSFORMATIONS OF MAN: [T]he destiny of mankind, after its long preparatory period of separation and differentiation, is at last to become one... This unity is on the point of being politically expressed in a world government that will unite nations and regions in transactions beyond their individual capacity...(22) In his 1959 book THE WEST IN CRISIS, CFR member James P. Warburg (who was also an Insider banker, economist and former member of FDR's socialist "brain trust") proclaimed: .. a world order without world law is an anachronism ... since war now means the extinction of civilization, a world which fails to establish the rule of law over the nation- states cannot long continue to exist. We are living in a perilous period of transition from the era of the fully sovereign nation-state to the era of world government.(23) Moreover, said Warburg, we must initiate "a deliberate search for methods and means by which American children may best be educated into ... responsible citizens not merely of the United States but of the world."(24) In 1960, Atlantic Union Committee treasurer Elmo Roper (CFR) delivered an address and authored a pamphlet, both of which were entitled, "The Goal is Government of All the World." In his appeal for global rule, Roper said: "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."(25) Just the Tip of the Iceberg We have, thus far, barely scratched the surface of the massive accumulation of world-government propaganda issued during the past several decades. Several additional chapters could easily be devoted to further presentation of examples from Establishment sources. We could turn to the late Norman Cousins (CFR, Planetary Citizens, United World Federalists, editor of SATURDAY REVIEW), a one-worlder who tended to wear his colors openly. On Earth Day, April 22,1970, he asserted, "Humanity needs a world order. The fully sovereign nation is incapable of dealing with the poisoning of the environment... The management of the planet, therefore -- whether we are talking about the need to prevent war or the need to prevent ultimate damage to the conditions of life -- requires a world-government."(26) We could also cite the HUMANIST MANIFESTO n (1973), a blatantly anti-Christian, anti-American document openly endorsed by some of America's most prominent authors, educators, academicians, scientists, and philosophers. It declares: We deplore the division of humankind on nationalistic grounds. We have reached a turning point in human history where the best option is to TRANSCEND THE LIMITS OF NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY and to move toward the building of a world community... a system of world law and a world order based upon transnational federal government.(27) [Emphasis in original] It would also be worthwhile to discuss the campaign during the 1960s and '70s for A CONSTITUTION FOR THE WORLD, another effort of Messrs. Tugwell, Hutchins, et al., funded and promoted by the Ford Foundation through the Fund for the Republic and the Center for the Study o Democratic Institutions.(28) Or, we could examine the growing momentum behind more recent efforts, such as those of the World Constitution and Parliament Association, which have attracted the support of political figures, jurists, celebrities, and intellectuals from 85 countries. In 1991, the World Constitution and Parliament Association launched a "3-year intensive global ratification campaign" for a proposed "Constitution for the Federation of Earth." The organization enjoys the support of such "Honorary Sponsors" as Nobel laureates George Wald, Glenn T. Seaborg (CFR), and Desmond Tutu, and other notables such as actor Ed Asner, SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN editor and publisher Gerard Piel (CFR), SWAPO terrorist leader and President of Namibia Sam Nujoma, psychologist Kenneth Clark, and former Attorney General Ramsey Clark.(29) We have space here, however, for presentation of only a small selection of material out of a vast deposit of globalist agit-prop. Those who require more evidence to become convinced that Americans have been subjected to -- and are being subjected to -- a conscious, well-orchestrated, long-range propaganda campaign by the CFR Establishment and its vast network of transmission belts and allies need only spend some time in a major library perusing the literature under the subject headings "world government," "world order," "interdependence," "internationalism," and "globalism." Attacks on National Sovereignty However, while many of the passages we have cited are straightforward appeals for world government, the CFR Insiders and their one-world propagandists more frequently resort to the oblique approach of advancing "world order" through attacks on national sovereignty. Since a one-world government is impossible as long as nations retain their sovereign powers to conduct their own affairs as they see fit, it makes sense for the globalists to undermine the whole concept of national sovereignty. Over a period of time, the peoples of the world might be convinced gradually to surrender aspects of national sovereignty to international institutions until, ultimately, world government is an established fact. This internationalist theme was delivered to the FOREIGN AFFAIRS reading audience 70 years ago in the December 1922 Foreign Affairs, the CFR journal's second issue: "Obviously there is going to be no peace or prosperity for mankind, so long as it remains divided into fifty or sixty independent states."(30) The problem for the CFR was overcoming the American people's "sovereignty fetish." The Council pondered this difficulty in its 1944 publication entitled AMERICAN PUBLIC OPINION AND POSTWAR SECURITY COMMITMENTS. Therein we find: The sovereignty fetish is still so strong in the public mind, that there would appear to be little chance of winning popular assent to American membership in anything approaching a super-state organization. Much will depend on the kind of approach which is used in further popular education.(31) The gradualist approach, as outlined for instance in The International Problem of Governing Mankind, by Columbia University professor and later World Court justice Philip C. Jessup (CFR), was the strategy most often adopted by the Insider internationalists. "I agree that national sovereignty is the root of the evil," Jessup wrote in his 1947 book. But, he noted: "The question of procedure remains. Can the root be pulled up by one mighty revolutionary heave, or should it first be loosened by digging around it and cutting the rootlets one by one?"(32) Like most of his elitist confreres, he opted for the piecemeal approach. Archetypal CFR Insider and former FDR Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau recognized the need for the step-by-step approach: "We can hardly expect the nation-state to make itself superfluous, at least not overnight. Rather what we must aim for is recognition in the minds of all responsible statesmen that they are really nothing more than caretakers of a bankrupt international machine which will have to be transformed slowly into a new one. The transition will not be dramatic, but a gradual one. People will still cling to national symbols."(33) Years later, in 1975, former Secretary of the Treasury C. Douglas Dillon, an ardent CFR globalist and honorary chairman of the Institute for World Order, admitted that it would still "take a while before people in this country as a whole will be ready for any substantial giving-up of sovereignty to handle global problems."(34) Not that members of the CFR crowd were taking a lackadaisical attitude. Far from it -- they had been engaged in full-scale sovereignty-bashing for decades. In his 1960 book THE UNITED STATES IN THE WORLD ARENA, Walt Whitman Rostow (CFR), who would rise to become chairman of the State Department's Policy Planning Board and the President's national security advisor, declared: [I]t is a legitimate American national objective to see removed from all nations -- including the United States – the right to use substantial military force to pursue their own interests. Since this residual right is the root of national sovereignty and the basis for the existence of an international arena of power, it is, therefore, an American interest to SEE AN END TO NATIONHOOD as it has been historically defined.(35) [Emphasis added] That kind of statement -- literally advocating an end to our nation and our constitutional system of government -- should have immediately disqualified Rostow for any government position. It would be impossible for him, in good faith, to take the oath of office to defend and protect the U.S. Constitution while adhering to such a position. However, quite to the contrary, it was this very same subversive, internationalist commitment that guaranteed his promotion by fellow one-world Insiders. Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, the war against national sovereignty was being led by the likes of Senator J. William Fulbright, longtime chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and one of the most influential members of Congress. In his 1964 book Old Myths and New Realities, Fulbright declared: Indeed, the concept of national sovereignty has become in our time a principle of international anarchy...(36) * * * ... the sovereign nation can no longer serve as the ultimate unit of personal loyalty and responsibility.(37) New York Governor and perennial presidential aspirant Nelson Rockefeller also certified his globalist credentials with frequent attacks on nationalism. Echoing the familiar Establishment theme at the 1962 Godkin lectures at Harvard University, he averred that "the nation-state, standing alone, threatens, in many ways, to seem as anachronistic as the Greek city-state eventually became in ancient times."(38) In his Harvard lectures, published in 1964 under the title THE FUTURE OF FEDERALISM, Rockefeller warned against the "fever of nationalism" and declared that "the nation-state is becoming less and less competent to perform its international political tasks."(39) His solutions? "All these, then, are some of the reasons -- economic, military, political -- pressing us to lead vigorously toward the true building of a NEW WORLD ORDER."(40) [Emphasis added] "More specifically, I hope and urge," stated Mr. Rockefeller, "... there will evolve the bases for a federal structure of the free world."(41) In his 1972 book WORLD WITHOUT BORDERS, Worldwatch Institute President Lester Brown (CFR) noted the continuing "problem" faced by himself and his fellow globalists: "Needless to say, sovereign nation-states steadfastly resist the transfer of power necessary to create strong supranational institutions."(42) He continued: There is discussion from time to time on the need for a full- fledged world government. Realistically, this is not likely to come about in the short run. If we can build some of the supranational institutions that are needed in various areas ... adding them to the International Monetary Fund, INTELSAT and the many others already in existence, these will eventually come to constitute an effective, though initially limited world government.(43) The "existing international system," Brown has declared, "... must be replaced by a NEW WORLD ORDER."(44) [Emphasis added] "Declaration of INTERdependence" One of the Insiders' most audacious propaganda gambits in support of the new world order was the world-government-promoting "Declaration of INTERdependence," unveiled in 1975 during the planning for our nation's 1976 bicentennial.(45) Sponsored by the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia and written by Establishment historian Henry Steele Commager (CFR), the "Declaration of INTERdependence" turned the Founding Fathers upside-down, declaring: When in the course of history the threat of extinction confronts mankind, it is necessary for the people of The United States to declare their INTERDEPENDENCE with the people of all nations... To establish a NEW WORLD ORDER of compassion, peace, justice and security, it is essential that mankind free itself from the limitations of national prejudice, and acknowledge ... that all people are part of one global community... [Emphasis added] The document's penultimate paragraph, and its real raison d'etre, declares: "We affirm that A WORLD WITHOUT LAW IS A WORLD WITHOUT ORDER, and we call upon all nations TO STRENGTHEN AND TO SUSTAIN THE UNITED NATIONS and its specialized agencies, and other institutions of world order..." [Emphasis added] Amazingly, 124 members of Congress endorsed this attack on our constitutional system of limited government. One of those who did not support this declaration was the late Congressman John Ashbrook (R-OH), who charged: Unlike the Declaration of Independence, whose great hallmarks are guarantees of individual personal freedom and dignity for all Americans and an American Nation under God, the declaration abandons those principles in favor of cultural relativism, international citizenship, and supremacy over all nations by a world government. The declaration of interdependence is an attack on loyalty to American freedom and institutions, which the document calls "chauvinistic nationalism," "national prejudice," and "narrow notions of national sovereignty."(46) To accompany, promote, and expand upon the "Declaration of INTERdependence," the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia and the Aspen Institute published THE THIRD TRY AT WORLD ORDER: U.S. POLICY FOR AN INTERDEPENDENT WORLD written by Harlan Cleveland (CFR).* In that book, Cleveland, a former Assistant Secretary of State and U.S. Ambassador to NATO, lamented that the first try at "world order" collapsed with the failure to secure U.S. entry into the League of Nations and that the second failure resulted from a United Nations that was not invested with sufficient authority and power to enact and enforce world law.(47) * Like many of his fellow Establishment Insiders -- Walt and Eugene Rostow, Dean Acheson, John McCloy, and Robert McNamara -- Cleveland had a long career on the far left that is worthy of note. Dr. Francis X. Gannon, in his authoritative BIOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY OF THE LEFT, recorded: "At Princeton, Cleveland was president of the Anti-War Society for three years and in the Princeton yearbook he listed himself as a 'Socialist.'"Intelligence expert Frank A. Capell reported in his column for THE REVIEW OF THE NEWS for August 21, 1974: Cleveland wrote articles for Far Eastern Survey and Pacific Affairs, publications of the Institute of Pacific Relations, a subversive organization described by the Senate Judiciary Committee as 'an instrument of Communist policy, propaganda and military intelligence.' He worked with John Abt and other key Reds on the staff of the LaFollette Civil Liberties Committee. He worked as deputy to Soviet agent Harold Glasser inside U.N.R.R.A. [United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration] and took part in 'Operation Keelhaul,' sending nearly five million Europeans into Russian concentration camps." William J. Gill's shocking 1969 expose of the extensive subversion in the U.S. government, THE ORDEAL OF OTTO OTEPKA (New Rochelle, NY: Arlington House), devotes more than two chapters to the pro-communist exploits of Harlan Cleveland. After having been brought into the State Department during the Kennedy Administration on a security waiver signed by Dean Rusk, Cleveland began to load up his staff with other security risks. One of those he tried to hire was his longtime friend Irving Swerdlow, who had been discharged eight years earlier as a security risk. He then stunned Otto Otepka, the chief of the State Department's personnel security, by asking: "What are the chances of getting Alger Hiss back into the Government?" In 1962, the State Department's Advisory Committee on International Organizations, chaired by Cleveland, attempted to devise an end run around the security checks on Americans employed by the United Nations. The new security procedures had been instituted in the wake of the Hiss espionage scandal and the revelations that he and his brother, Donald Hiss, had personally recruited more than 200 people for UN jobs. (For further information, see also STATE DEPARTMENT SECURITY 1963-65: THE OTEPKA CASE, Senate Internal Security Subcommittee Hearings, 1963-65.) According to Cleveland, the "third try," now underway, is an attempt to arrive at "world governance" piecemeal, by strengthening the UN to deal with various global "crises" involving, for instance, "the global environment," "food reserve[s]," "energy supplies," " fertility rates," "military stalemate," and "conflict in a world of proliferating weapons."(48) It was a recapitulation of what he had written in 1964 in the foreword to Richard N. Gardner's book, IN PURSUIT OF WORLD ORDER, wherein Cleveland stated: "A decent world order will only be built brick by brick."(49) Piece by Piece, Brick by Brick CFR luminary Richard N. Gardner took this same message of patient, persistent plodding to the Council's members and followers in 1974, with his now-famous article in FOREIGN AFFAIRS entitled "The Hard Road to World Order." Since hopes for "instant world government" had proven illusory, he wrote, "the house of world order" would have to be built through "an end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece." This could be done, he noted, on an ad hoc basis with treaties and international "arrangements" that could later be brought within "the central institutions of the U.N. system."(50) As we shall see, this gradualist road to world order, as outlined by Jessup, Cleveland, Gardner, et al. -- "root by root," "brick by brick," "piece by piece" -- has been followed assiduously by the one-worlders and is now rapidly approaching completion. However, even at this late hour, it still is not too late to throw a wrench into their well-oiled machine and topple their planned "house of world order" like a house of cards. ---------------------------------------- Copyright 1992 by Western Islands Published by : Western Islands, P.O.
