Since our nation’s founding, and because of events like the Depression, WWII and 9/11, our federal government has been moving from an unintrusive type toward total control, and now that there is one party with absolute power, we are headed there at break-neck speed. The government has a relentless goal to make us equal through an ever-progressive tax system and entitlement programs, whose real purpose is to redistribute wealth and secure voting blocks. Think Joe the plumber and Karl Marx. We’re heading into the new world order, as our government signs treaties that would surrender sovereignty and allow a migration from the south that is diluting our culture.

Cuba has agreed to open talks with the United States on issues ranging from immigration to anti-narcotics cooperation and direct mail service , a senior State Department official said today, in a sign that the island’s communist government is warming to President Obama’s call for a new relationship after decades of tension.

From May 14-17, the global elite met in secret in Greece for the yearly Bilderberg conference, amid scattered and limited global media attention. Roughly 130 of the world’s most powerful individuals came together to discuss the pressing issues of today, and to chart a course for the next year. The main topic of discussion at this years meeting was the global financial crisis, which is no surprise, considering the list of conference attendees includes many of the primary architects of the crisis, as well as those poised to “solve” it.

London Guardian journalist Charlie Skelton, who began his coverage of the 2009 Bilderberg conference in a jovial and mocking manner, is now warning that the horrendous treatment dished out to him by both police and undercover spies is just a taste of what we can expect in our daily lives if we allow Bilderberg’s agenda, and specifically ID cards and implantable microchips, to be implemented. Initially setting out to cover the event in a satirical way, Skelton left Greece yesterday chilled to the bone about how he had been harassed, detained and stalked for days on end by authorities merely for taking photographs of the hotel where Bilderberg members were staying.

Former Mexican President Vicente Fox pushed Tuesday for forming a union between Canada, Mexico and the United States. Fox was the keynote speaker at Kennesaw State University’s inaugural summit on the Commission of North American Prosperity, or North America 2050.

As the world financial and economic crisis comes into its own, the Western political leaders and elites are seeking to impress on mankind the idea that this upheaval will end up ‘turning the world into something different’.

Former Mexican President Vicente Fox was in San Antonio Friday, delivering a wide-ranging address about U.S.-Mexico relations that touched on trade, the drug war, comprehensive immigration reform and the United States’ “mammoth” financial crisis that has spread worldwide.

Fox also delivered a message of hope — hope that someday Canada, the United States and Mexico, indeed the rest of Latin America, would function like the European Union.

“It’s an extremely successful model,” said Fox, whose wife, Marta Sahagún, accompanied him. “My vision is to speed up the process of further integration.”

The New World Order is upon us, full of hope, promise and a fair amount of fear. In our recent discussion regarding the direction of our country, we noted the risks of catering to conventional wisdom and the implications for the U.S. dollar.

Take the stance adopted by British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, who was former Chancellor of the Exchequer. He is calling on fellow world leaders to use the current worldwide economic “downtown” as an opportunity to thoroughly reform international financial institutions. Brown proposes that a new “truly global society” be created with Britain, the US and Europe providing the leadership. But what will Brown’s “thorough reform plan for international financial institutions” achieve, when the major players who brought us into this financial crisis in the first place are being asked by him to be the leaders of this new reform package?

Rahm Emanuel, President-elect Barack Obama’s chief of staff, has declared that “you don’t ever want a crisis to go to waste.” As reported here yesterday , former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has been busy lately promoting the idea that Obama should move quickly once in the White House to turn various economic and political crises into opportunities to create a “new world order.”
