The Promise and the Reality of Globalization
The Promise and the Reality of Globalization The adherents of globalism believe they are closing in on the achievement of their grand design – the unification of mankind, sometimes also referred to as the New World Order. This still incomplete project – which Alexander the Great, the Roman Caesars, Napoleon, Leon Trotsky, Joseph Stalin and other megalomaniac conquerors dreamed about, but never fully realized – is being carried forward resolutely, and at the same time, carefully, gradually, even stealthily. Unification by bureaucratization. For the most part, the globalists’ vision is being implemented not by military force, but by huge bureaucracies, which for over 70 years, have been functioning unobtrusively in the realms of finance, international trade, foreign investment, diplomacy and security. A host of international institutions advancing the globalist agenda have sprung up in the post-war period, including the United Nations (UN), the European Union (EU), the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the like. The oneworld project receives quiet, but effective support from a wide spectrum of public and private elites active in the financial, corporate, governmental, journalistic, cultural and ecclesiastical fields. 9
