Blane Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 the term "new world order" is a slippery one. It's used to talk about US hegemony in the aftermath of the cold war, but also the establishment of the League of Nations and the Bretton Woods institutions after WWII. I think it tends to be bandied about as a part of fear-mongering on both sides without much analysis. If Brown (as I feel he is) is referring to a collective restructuring the systems of global governance (WB, IMF, WTO) to rein in a casino economy that has spun out of anyone's control then I'm all for it. I have a hard time he's using it in the Kissinger-esque sense of a NWO shaped and enforced by the US to back US interests abroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaggyBalls Posted March 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Keeping in mind that the world revolves around economic interests, it's a lot safer to presume the 'new world order' doesn't have any interest of in ascending humanity as a whole above our current position.

timouse Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 the Obama new world order is way less frightening than the Bush/Cheney "Project for a New American Century (of world domination)" new world order. the term "new world order" is a slippery one.

SaggyBalls Posted March 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 How is the Obama NWO any different than the Bush/Cheney NWO?I haven't heard as much talk of any 'New World Order' in the media ever as much as the past 2 months, and with the clever uses of the words 'security' and 'prosperity' in the Presidential campaign, I really find it entertaining to watch it all fall so neatly together.Pulling out of Iraq but moving into Afhganistan, poised perfectly to move into Iran, Pakistan, and Russia......I didn't expect you to be such a sucker for a smile, guy.As far as the Kissinger vibe goes Blane, I've heard even him link Obama and the impending New World Order. Straight from the Horse's mouth.We're in for some interesting times in the next few years. Definitely not a time for me to join the military.

bradm Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 (edited) Definitely not a time for me to join the military.Without knowing exactly, definitely, what would be a time for you to join the military, that statement lacks context.Aloha,Brad Edited March 10, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaggyBalls Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 I suppose that if there were a time for me to enlist (I understand that the cutoff age is 40), it would be a time when our forces aren't propping up questionable international conflict, are working in rebuilding countries devastated by war, and instead are focusing on more of a supportive effort at home.
