[bush] george and his new world order

As Whitney and Whitney say [p449]: No one guessed how quickly the breeze the President mentioned would become a gale. In a whirlwind of events, the Communist governments of Hungary, Poland, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Romania, Bulgaria, and Yugoslavia gave up their monopolies on power and held popular elections. These astonishing changes came quickly and with remarkably little violence.

Then Desert Storm came around. Again from W&W: On September 11, 1990 the President addressed a joint session of Congress on live television. He spoke of the crisis in the Persian Gulf and of America's place in a post Cold War world:

"We stand today at a unique and extraordinary moment. The crisis in the Persian Gulf, as grave as it is, also offers a rare opportunity to move toward an historic period of cooperation … Out of these troubled times, a new world order can emerge: a new era, freer from the threat of terror, stronger in the pursuit of justice and more secure in the quest for peace. An era in which the nations of the world, east and west, north and south, can prosper and live in harmony."

In poetic language the President said:

"a hundred generations have searched for this elusive path to peace, while a thousand wars raged across the span of human endeavor. Today that new world is struggling to be born. A world quite different from the one we've known. A world where the rule of law supplants the rule of the jungle. A world in which nations recognize the shared responsibility for freedom and justice. A world where the strong respect the rights of the weak."

In other words, largely by agreement. This and the rhetoric Bush often employed reminded me of something but I couldn’t think what - the breeze, reborn, new world order can emerge, elusive path, a thousand wars, the strong, the weak.

These last two terms were particularly surprising as most politicians refer to rich and poor, haves and have-nots and so on. There is one organization I know of that speaks in the rhetoric of ‘strong’ and ‘weak’ and maintain this tone. They call themselves Moriah Conquering Wind and this immediately reminded me of a passage from ‘N or M’, by Agatha Christie:

"It's people like you who will be needed in the new State — the State that will arise in this country when your present imbecile Government is vanquished. We want to turn some of our enemies into friends — those that are worth while. If I have to give the order that ends your husband's life, I shall do it — it's my duty — but I shall feel really badly about having to do it! He's a fine fellow — quiet, unassuming and clever.

Let me impress upon you what so few people in this country seem to understand. Our Leader does not intend to conquer this country in the sense that you all think. He aims at creating a new Britain — a Britain strong in its own power — ruled over, not by Germans, but by Englishmen. And the best type of Englishmen — Englishmen with brains and breeding and courage. A brave new world, as Shakespeare puts it.

We want to do away with muddle and inefficiency. With bribery and corruption. With self-seeking and money-grubbing — and in this new state we want people like you and your husband — brave and resourceful — enemies that have been, friends to be. You would be surprised if you knew how many there are in this country, as in others, who have sympathy with and belief in our aims. Among us all we will create a new Europe — a Europe of peace and progress. Try and see it that way — because, I assure you— it is that way."
His voice was compelling, magnetic.
[Manager edition pp 191/2]

In a later passage, this exchange takes place:

Tommy and Tuppence stared.

"Incredible!" said the former.

Grant shook his head. "You do not know the force of the German propaganda. It appeals to something in man, some desire or lust for power. These people were ready to betray their country not for money, but in a kind of megalomaniacal pride in what they, they themselves, were going to achieve for that country. In every land it has been the same. It is the Cult of Lucifer — Lucifer, Son of the Morning. Pride and a desire for personal glory!"
[Manager edition p202]

In an article from November 27, 2003, Wes Penre states: In 1922 the Lucifer Trust was created in London, but later changed its name to Lucis Trust, as the first name was too obvious. The Trust is a non-governmental body and publishing house officially listed by the United Nations, an extension of the Theosophical Society which influenced Adolf Hitler in developing his doctrine about the Arian Super Race.

The Lucis Trust is sponsored by, among others, Robert McNamara, former minister of Defense in the USA, president of the World Bank, member of the Rockefeller Foundation, and Thomas Watson, IBM, former ambassador in Moscow. In turn, Lucis sponsors: United Nations, Greenpeace Int., Greenpeace USA, Amnesty Int. and UNICEF, to name a few. The Lucis Trust had a chapel, the Temple of Understanding, until recently within the UN headquarters in New York
[A 205 Basic Course II Police High School autumn 1991; authors: Ingela Göransson and Lena Martinsson, Sweden.]

I’ve seen this chapel – it had a three dimensional geometric design in the centre and was bathed in cold blues and other shades, all diffused and overlapping. There was no discernible religious icon anywhere – it supposedly represented what you wished it to represent. Another organization similarly worshipping a nebulous figure named ‘the great architect’ is quite influential in the monied world. Again, cold blue is the chosen colour of their decor.

Most people remember the interview Gen. Tommy Franks gave to the December 2003 edition of the men’s lifestyle magazine Cigar Aficionado. He warned that if terrorists succeeded in using a weapon of mass destruction against ‘‘the U.S. or one of our allies, it would likely have catastrophic consequences for our cherished republican form of government.’’

If that happens, Franks said, “... the Western world, the free world, loses what it cherishes most, and that is freedom and liberty we’ve seen for a couple of hundred years in this grand experiment that we call democracy.”

Franks then offered “in a practical sense” what he thinks would happen in the aftermath of such an attack.

“It means the potential of a weapon of mass destruction and a terrorist, massive, casualty-producing event somewhere in the Western world – it may be in the United States of America – that causes our population to question our own Constitution and to begin to militarize our country in order to avoid a repeat of another mass, casualty-producing event. Which in fact, then begins to unravel the fabric of our Constitution. Two steps, very, very important.”

Franks didn’t speculate about how soon such an event might take place.

Franks offered his assessment on a number of topics to Cigar Aficionado, including:

On the motivation for the Iraq war: Contrary to claims that top Pentagon brass opposed the invasion of Iraq, Franks said he wholeheartedly agreed with the president’s decision to invade Iraq and oust Saddam Hussein.

“I, for one, begin with intent. ... There is no question that Saddam Hussein had intent to do harm to the Western alliance and to the United States of America. That intent is confirmed in a great many of his speeches, his commentary, the words that have come out of the Iraqi regime over the last dozen or so years. So we have intent.

Capturing Saddam: Franks said he was not surprised that Saddam has not been captured or killed. But he says he will eventually be found, perhaps sooner than Osama bin laden. “The capture or killing of Saddam Hussein will be a near term thing. And I won’t say that’ll be within 19 or 43 days. ... I believe it is inevitable.”

Franks ended his interview with a less-than-optimistic note. “It’s not in the history of civilization for peace ever to reign. Never has in the history of man. ... I doubt that we’ll ever have a time when the world will actually be at peace.”

He’s right, as long as the NWO brigade rule the roost. The interesting thing is that the ‘kooks’ on the web whom everyone, including myself, dismisses as conspiracy theorists, might just be borne out in the not too distant future. Moriah, for example, sets a 2012 deadline for the first part – the militarization of the western world.

Well, we can only wait and see.
