There are signs everywhere I look. And I don't mean eagle flying high
and we'll lose the morning battle kind of signs. I mean the coalitions of
countries being formed on the various continents (EU, AU this U and that
U). It's happening first locally and then all those U's will combine to form
a gigantic U. A U so humongous you will wake up in the morning
wondering what's that floating about over there? Is it U? Why, yes, I think
it is.
A world government would in effect regulate international law. Countries
and other Unions will have to surrender their local territories if need be to
this giant U. They would also find themselves protected by the same laws
as everyone else in U. So it's good, yes? What's that U, say?
Is it Usher? No. Is it Uncle Sam? Possibly. Is it Universal? Quite likely. But
are there pictures? No. Why? Because the power behind these coalitions;
the power that is all around us and yet we can't feel or use it, is a secret,
hidden from public view organisation that only a handful of people knows
about. You think Bush miraculously became president despite his
intellectual short-comings? You think Ahmadinejad could lead a nation
against the "great Satan" using but insults and stories about how he's
really the next prophet? You think that Sweden is not in fact the mother
of all countries, cultures and anything else of human nature? Well, you
might believe all that, but I'm telling you: the truth is much more subtle
and (dare I say it?) grim. Hiding behind the curtains are a bunch so
vicious and powerhungry that you cannot imagine. Hiding behind a mask
of the semitic...
Ok, but seriously, am I the only one having a feeling that there's always
more going on than you see in the news? We can't possibly be as stupid,
violent and inconsiderate towards each other as it appears in the news
(current writer being the exception to the rule of stupidity and possibly
inconsiderance*, of course). It just HAS to be a plot of sorts. Divide and
conquer sort of thing. Those damn muslims! Those greedy Jews! Those
damn americans! Those delectably gorgeous swedes! Debate!
Also, I'd like to abet you all to stop killing each other and even stop
throwing insults at each other, and instead smile at perfect strangers on
the street, to counteract the will of this most sinister force that's at work
here. Whatever and wherever it may be.

The post that was quoted here has been removedYes. I remember now. I saw Zeitgeist. It was excellent and made a deep
impression on me. I guess a bigger impression than I realised. 😕
The film speaks of the three major unions (or was it four?) possibly being
steps towards one world government, right? You don't think that'll
happen? I'm curious: Why not?
Personally, the more I think about it, I can't help but wonder if it's not
inevitable even. First we lived in small tribes. Then over the years as our
developing technology allowed us to cover ever more ground we united in
larger and larger groups (through wars mostly). I don't see how a world
government is even avoidable, like it or not. It's bound to happen.
The post that was quoted here has been removedI often wonder how violent we really are as a race. We all have violent
and egoistic instincts naturally, or we simply wouldn't have survived this
many thousands of years. But like any other animal, I think that by
nature we tend to avoid violence until we feel seriously threatened. This
idea that we can take off on a trip to unfamiliar territory and start killing
people based on some loony ideas such as religion or politics has got to
be a relatively recent thing (like in the past 10000 years or so). I really
think that most people just wants to mind their own business, survive and
lead a happy life, and then there's a relatively few who has to get in each
others faces and who has the ability to manipulate and incite people
against each other. Those relatively few are the ones that becomes world
leaders. I shrug just thinking of them.
We should all just ignore any exhortations to go hurt them "evil" people
on the other side of our abstract, ideological fense until we have a gun
pointing in our faces. Then we can fire the gun we have hidden in our
pockets.

another government based on the same democratic principles?
Oh, I see. 'Cause if there's a world government, there would be no way to
use people from less fortunate parts of the world for your own economical
benefits. And also, who would you point to when you feel that uncontrollable
urge for a common enemy to whinge about and unite against?
Those are indeed valid points you make there, son of pirates. Ay!

Sometimes I have the feeling that there is less going on than we see on the news. Seriously. All the war and terror we see on the tv is a filtrate, the most extreme. From people that were visiting those countries - unless they are journalists - you often hear that they hardly noticed anything different. Governments think they make the rules, but the rules don't work if people refuse to obey them.
OK, maybe this is a very optimistic view, but I somehowe hope it is true, or that it may become so that day there will be one universal government. That government should be driven by the people. after all, the people make the economy, working and consuming and wishing and creating... and without a thriving economy there is nothing to govern.
Originally posted by der schwarze RitterIt's being proposed. People will be able to vote against parties that support it. Nothing undemocratic there.

Democracy is not defined by whether one particular person likes the outcome. If I lived in the US I'd have a government that has done all sorts of things I fundamentally don't agree with...but I wouldn't call it undemocratic on that basis.
