Global Governance Closing the Noose on Freedom, Editor's Commentary

Global governance will not come upon us suddenly during the dual meetings of the Millennium Assembly and Summit this September. Global governance has been encroaching for decades. Rather, the Millennium Summit will likely mark the public debut of UN global governance across trans-national boundaries. The Millennium Assembly is a special name for the fifty-fifth session of the United Nations General Assembly that commences on September 5, 2000. The Millennium Summit, on the other hand, is a meeting of all the heads of state in the world and starts on September 6. Its purpose is to determine the future of the UN in the twenty-first century.

The implementation of global governance has been gradually underway for decades as the sovereignty of individual nations around the world has been systematically eroded. Within nations all of the pieces of global governance have been carefully put into place, ensuring the final transfer of power to a centralized, global government in the not too distant future.

NGOs have protested and rioted in 1) Seattle, 2) Davos, Switzerland, where a policemen was felled, and 3) in Bangkok, Thailand. NGOs have promised the same for 4) Washington, DC in April, 2000. By violently opposing globalism, NGOs are forcing world leaders to accept global governance at the Millennium Summit this September, including a new parliamentary body for themselves.

The UN agenda is already firmly entrenched in the American landscape in such things such as gun control, sustainable development and federal land grabs that will eventually claim well over 100 million acres of private property with the balance controlled through regulation. Federal programs such as the American Heritage Rivers Program, Clean Water Action Plan, Ecosystem Management, Sustainable America, Global Warming and many, many more, effectively circumvent Constitutional law by transferring power from elected representatives to nonelected bureaucracies and Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs). All of these are done in the name of satisfying the requirements of numerous treaties and international agreements—even when they have not been approved by Congress.

At the same time the global educators have implemented the occult-based Goals 2000 to dumb-down and prepare our children to be unquestioning global citizens. UN taxing authority merely awaits a new UN Charter. Finally, with the International Criminal Court in place and a permanent, standing army in the works, the UN is poised at the threshold of having the enforcement muscle it needs to back its policies and retain centralized control.

Before the Millennium Summit takes place, however, the inaugural meeting of a new Millennium Forum of "Civil Society" will be held May 22-26 in New York. Civil Society is nothing more than globally-oriented special interest non-governmental organizations seeking to violently force their collective agenda onto the world through protests and riots. So far there have been three protests and riots by NGOs. The first in Seattle late last year was against the WTO. The second was in Davos, Switzerland, early this year against the World Economic Forum,and the third was in Bangkok, Thailand, in mid-February at the UN Conference on Trade and Development. They were the result of highly orchestrated efforts to bring enormous pressure on the world leaders at the Summit to adopt NGO demands. The next protest is scheduled for Washington D.C. against the World Bank-International Monetary Fund meetings starting on April 16.

The NGO demands take the form of Charter 99, A Charter for Global Democracy, which is nothing more than a restatement of recommendations made in 1995 by the UN Commission on Global Governance. Both provide a blueprint for global governance. The Commission on Global Governance had recommended a new UN Charter be presented to heads of state at the Millennium Summit on September 6. That recommendation was derailed, however. So, instead of the UN proposing a new UN Charter at the Millennium Assembly, NGOs will do it. In a stroke of Hegelian duplicity, NGOs are now protesting globalism by rioting, in order to force the world’s leaders at next September’s Millennium Summit to create a new UN Charter which will institute global governance. The UN will claim the people of the world demanded it.

Six sub-themes will be addressed at the Millennium Forum that parallel Charter 99: 1) Peace, Security and Disarmament, 2) The Eradication of Poverty, Including Debt Cancellation and Social Development; 3) Human Rights; 4) Sustainable Development and The Environment; 5) The Challenges of Globalization, Achieving Equity Justice and Diversity; and, 6) Strengthening and Democratizing the United Nations and Other International Organizations. More accurate titles might be: 1) Global Gun Control and Disarmament, 2) Redistribution of Wealth, 3) Control of Human Rights, 4) The Great Global Land Grab, 5) Creating an NGO Parliament within the UN and, 6) Socialization of the Planet.

Nearly every agenda item in the Millennium Forum represents a consolidation of power in the hands of nonelected bureaucrats and NGOs. The impudence with which these demands are made shows that the obliteration of national sovereignty and personal freedom is the core goal of "Civil Society" which seeks to establish enormous power for itself within the coming global government.
