I do not think that George Bush was referring to world government when he referred to a New World Order, I think he was referring to a time of peace and cooperation in the aftermath of the Cold War. Nor do I think we are anywhere near a world government, when the European Union has barely gotten off the ground, and NAFTA has not led to much closer relations with our neighbors, Mexico and Canada.
I do not think there is a conspiracy, and I have no idea what a conspiracy would do. Talk up world unity? That may be goofy, but it is not nefarious.
The reference in the Declaration of Independence is not to a "conspiracy", but to royal usurpation of colonial prerogatives, for example, disbanding colonial legislatures, allowing royal governor's to rule by fiat, and the like.
To say that there are those who might erode the constitutional order or be cavalier with national sovereignty is true enough, but that does not depend on conspiracy in any meaningful sense.
What I want to know is what is gained by sticking the label "conspiracy" on pro- internationlist sentiments? |
