Anyone ever read Changing Images of Man? It was published by a liberal think tank from the 70s called the Stanford Research Institute. The actual cover of the original printing described it as part of the "System Science and World Order Library". Basically, it discusses how man has historically viewed himself relative to the world/universe (from ancient times, through Greek, Roman, Egymption, Judeo-Christian concepts, etc.), how those various views have affected civilization, and how those views (especially the Judeo-Christian concept of man as separate from and superior to the earth/universe) must change if mankind is to survive. The authoris predict a great colapse of America and attempt to tell how we can avoid this great collapse, largely based on man changing his image of himself as separate from the physical world. Fascinating reading, and fodder for many conspiracy theories. Many say it predicted 30 years ago what is happening in American and the world today. And/or that it serves as a blueprint for the government (and/or shadow government) on how to direct where we are headed as a people. Highly recommended reading for all of you conspiracy buffs.
Carrol Quigley did a good job in his "Tradgedy and Hope", he was for them, and that was forty years ago.

Fundamental, Bible-believing people do not have the right to indoctrinate their children in their religious beliefs because we, the state, are preparing them for the year 2000, when America will be part of a one-world global society and their children will not fit in.

Language is a field of battle, the media is the artillery, and vocabulary is the ammunition. The NWO (New World Order) has taken the field by storm, and is proceeding with coordinated attacks on several fronts, using all the latest high tech vocabulary ammunition. Theyve laid a bed of mines that cripple us when we try to stand on them; liberalism, conservatism, prosperity, democracy. Richard Moore, Doublespeak.
In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill
All these dangers are caused by human intervention and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome. The real enemy, then, is humanity itself. Alexander King Bertrand Schafer founder and secretary respectively of the Club of Rome The First Global Revolution,

The rest of the world is much more than just the Western World. I simply do not believe that isolationist countries like Iran and North Korea, or a rising superpower like China, would want to be part of a one world government. I am also confident that many other countries in the middle east would balk at this. What about Russia? Most Russians are nationalists who take great pride in their tradition, their sovereignty, and their national strength and influence in the world.
The WWII comment has me baffled. Your understanding of the cause of that war must be very different from mine.
This next part of the post is what will get me in trouble. The U.S. is so hated in the world in part, because we are the biggest, richest kid on the playground, and let everyone know that. The bigger part is that we interfere with other countries sovereignty, and have a bad habit of just slapping people around to get our way in the world (see the many Ron Paul comments about blow-back, he says it better than I can).
