Anybody got any views on this? Is their really a conspiracy to install a New World Government?
For example, simple errors seem a better explanation for Gore's loss in Florida than a global power group's manipulations.
I think conspiracy theories are popular mostly because political issues are so damned difficult to understand. Even very bright people who try really hard can have difficulty understanding many issues. Just look at our American congress members.

Why would a few men create a socialist system and therefor give away all the power they have?
On the hand, if you look at GATT, the world bank and IMF you can quite plainly see that a small group of men do have an extreme amount of money and power.

Originally posted by ianpickeringI don't know about anyone else, but I almost never respond to posts that just have links to websites. If you had given us a couple of paragraphs summarizing the site and/or giving us some of your views on it, then that might generate some interest. But to just provide a link and ask for thoughts on it is almost a guarantee of getting minimal input.
Nobody interested in this? Thought it might provoke some debate.

Can't expect it not to happen.
The democratic system in many countries are easy to control provided you have sufficient funds. When you need a substantial amount of resources to run an election campaign, what greater incentive that bribery ?
Add to that the already existing flawed media and you can't really expect the ultra rich not to play God with the rest of us.

But I forget - the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was not a socialist state, was it?
