May 6, 2000
I'd like to ask ten little questions of you and my fellow Americans.
1. Why is the United States of America being destroyed from within by the very officials
we expect to protect her from destruction?
2. Why is our Constitution, the Law of our Land, being defiled by elected officials who
swore to uphold this same Constitution?
3. Why are no elected officials standing to defend the Constitution they swore to protect
from foreign enemies and domestic traitors?
4. Why are the Laws of our land flagrantly disobeyed by elected officials?
5. Why is our Bill of Rights trashed by elected officials at all levels of Gov.?
6. Why is the 2nd Amendment declaring our God given right to own and bear arms being
denied, suborned and infringed by elected officials sworn to protect and defend all
citizens rights?
7. Why are American citizens allowing elected officials to criminally harm American
citizens without demanding that this lawlessness be stopped?
8. Why is a supposedly free people allowing criminals disguised as Congressmen to murder,
rob, rule and disarm them?
9. Why are no decent, fearless, strong, assertive men and women standing on every street
corner and church and every highway and byway to loudly condemn the corrupt, immoral,
illegal practices of the present government?

A CHRONOLOGICAL HISTORY OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER
by D.L. Cuddy, Ph.D.
Arranged and Edited by John Loeffler
In the mainline media, those who adhere to the position that there is some kind of
"conspiracy" pushing us towards a world government are virulently ridiculed. The
standard attack maintains that the so-called "New World Order" is the product of
turn-of-the-century, right-wing, bigoted, anti-semitic racists acting in the tradition of
the long-debunked Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, now promulgated by some
Militias and other right-wing hate groups.
The historical record does not support that position to any large degree but it has
become the mantra of the socialist left and their cronies, the media.
The term "New World Order" has been used thousands of times in this century
by proponents in high places of federalized world government. Some of those involved in
this collaboration to achieve world order have been Jewish. The preponderance are not, so
it most definitely is not a Jewish agenda.
For years, leaders in education, industry, the media, banking, etc., have promoted
those with the same Weltanschauung (world view) as theirs. Of course, someone might say
that just because individuals promote their friends doesn't constitute a conspiracy.
That's true in the usual sense. However, it does represent an "open conspiracy,"
as described by noted Fabian Socialist H.G. Wells in The Open Conspiracy: Blue
Prints for a World Revolution (1928).
In 1913, prior to the passage of the Federal Reserve Act President Wilson's The
New Freedom was published, in which he revealed:
"Since I entered politics, I have
chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the U. S., in
the field of commerce and manufacturing, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something.
They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so
interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath
when they speak in condemnation of it."
On November 21, 1933, President Franklin Roosevelt wrote a letter to Col. Edward
Mandell House, President Woodrow Wilson's close advisor:
"The real truth of the matter is, as you
and I know, that a financial element
in the larger centers has owned the Government every since the days of Andrew Jackson..."
That there is such a thing as a cabal of power brokers who control government behind
the scenes has been detailed several times in this century by credible sources. Professor
Carroll Quigley was Bill Clinton's mentor at Georgetown University. President Clinton has
publicly paid homage to the influence Professor Quigley had on his life. In Quigley's
magnum opus Tragedy and Hope (1966), he states:
"There does exist and has existed for a
generation, an international.. .....network which operates, to some extent, in the way the
radical right believes the Communists act. In fact, this network, which we may identify as
the Round Table Groups, has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any other
groups and frequently does so. I know of the operations of this network because I have
studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960s, to
examine its papers and secret records. I have no aversion to it or to most of its aims and
have, for much of my life, been close to it and to many of its instruments. I have
objected, both in the past and recently, to a few of its policies...but in general my
chief difference of opinion is that it wishes to remain unknown, and I believe its role in
history is significant enough to be known."
Even talk show host Rush Limbaugh, an outspoken critic of anyone claiming a push for
global government, said on his February 7, 1995 program:
"You see, if you amount to anything in
Washington these days, it is because you have been plucked or handpicked from an Ivy
League school -- Harvard, Yale, Kennedy School of Government -- you've shown an aptitude
to be a good Ivy League type, and so you're plucked so-to-speak, and you are assigned
success. You are assigned a certain role in government somewhere, and then your success is
monitored and tracked, and you go where the pluckers and the handpickers can put
you."
On May 4, 1993, Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) president Leslie Gelb said on The
Charlie Rose Show that:
"...you [Charlie Rose] had me on
[before] to talk about the New World Order! I talk about it all the time. It's one world
now. The Council [CFR] can find, nurture, and begin to put people in the kinds of jobs
this country needs. And that's going to be one of the major enterprises of the Council
under me."
Previous CFR chairman, John J. McCloy (1953-70), actually said they have been doing
this since the 1940s (and before). The thrust towards global government can be
well-documented but at the end of the twentieth century it does not look like a
traditional conspiracy in the usual sense of a secret cabal of evil men meeting
clandestinely behind closed doors. Rather, it is a "networking" of like-minded
individuals in high places to achieve a common goal, as described in Marilyn Ferguson's
1980 insider classic, The Aquarian Conspiracy.
Perhaps the best way to relate this would be a brief history of the New World Order,
not in our words but in the words of those who have been striving to make it real.
1912 -- Colonel Edward M. House, a close advisor of President Woodrow Wilson,
publishes Phillip Dru: Administrator in which he promotes "socialism as
dreamed of by Karl Marx."
1913 -- The Federal Reserve (neither federal nor a reserve) is created. It was
planned at a secret meeting in 1910 on Jekyl Island, Georgia by a group of bankers and
politicians, including Col. House. This transferred the power to create money from the
American government to a private group of bankers. It is probably the largest generator of
debt in the world.
May 30, 1919 -- Prominent British and American personalities establish the Royal
Institute of International Affairs in England and the Institute of International
Affairs in the U.S. at a meeting arranged by Col. House attended by various Fabian
socialists, including noted economist John Maynard Keynes. Two years later, Col. House
reorganizes the Institute of International Affairs into the Council on Foreign
Relations (CFR).
December 15, 1922 -- The CFR endorses World Government in its magazine Foreign
Affairs. Author Philip Kerr, states:
"Obviously there is going to be no peace
or prosperity for mankind as long as [the earth] remains divided into 50 or 60 independent
states until some kind of international system is created...The real problem today is that
of the world government."
1928 -- The Open Conspiracy: Blue Prints for
a World Revolution by H.G. Well is published. A former Fabian Socialist, Wells writes:
"The political world of the into a Open
Conspiracy must weaken, efface, incorporate and supersede existing governments...The Open
Conspiracy is the natural inheritor of socialist and communist enthusiasms; it may be in
control of Moscow before it is in control of New York...The character of the Open
Conspiracy will now be plainly displayed...It will be a world religion."
1931 -- Students at the Lenin School of Political Warfare in Moscow are taught:
"One day we shall start to spread the
most theatrical peace movement the world has ever seen. The capitalist countries, stupid
and decadent ... will fall into the trap offered by the possibility of making new friends.
Our day will come in 30 years or so...The bourgeoisie must be lulled into a false sense of
security."
1931-- In a speech to the Institute for the
Study of International Affairs at Copenhagen) historian Arnold Toyee said:
"We are at present working discreetly
with all our might.to wrest this mysterious force called sovereignty out of the clutches
of the local nation states of the world. All the time we are denying with our lips what we
are doing with our hands...."
1932 -- New books are published urging World
Order:
Toward Soviet America by William Z. Foster. Head of the Communist Party
USA, Foster indicates that a National Department of Education would be one of the means
used to develop a new socialist society in the U.S.
The New World Order by F.S. Marvin, describing the League of Nations as
the first attempt at a New World Order. Marvin says, "nationality must rank below the
claims of mankind as a whole."
Dare the School Build a New Social Order? is published. Educator author
George Counts asserts that:
"...the teachers should deliberately
reach for power and then make the most of their conquest" in order to "influence
the social attitudes, ideals and behavior of the coming generation...The growth of science
and technology has carried us into a new age where ignorance must be replaced by
knowledge, competition by cooperation, trust in Providence by careful planning and private
capitalism by some form of social economy."
1933 -- The first Humanist Manifesto is
published. Co-author John Dewey, the noted philosopher and educator, calls for a
synthesizing of all religions and "a socialized and cooperative economic order."
Co-signer C.F. Potter said in 1930:
"Education is thus a most powerful ally
of humanism, and every American public school is a school of humanism. What can the
theistic Sunday schools, meeting for an hour once a week, teaching only a fraction of the
children, do to stem the tide of a five-day program of humanistic teaching?"
1933 -- The Shape of Things to Come by H.G.
Wells is published. Wells predicts a second world war around 1940, originating from a
German-Polish dispute. After 1945 there would be an increasing lack of public safety in
"criminally infected" areas. The plan for the "Modern World-State"
would succeed on its third attempt (about 1980), and come out of something that occurred
in Basra, Iraq. The book also states,
"Although world government had been
plainly coming for some years, although it had been endlessly feared and murmured against,
it found no opposition prepared anywhere."
1934 -- The Externalization of the Hierarchy
by Alice A. Bailey is published. Bailey is an occultist, whose works are channeled from a
spirit guide, the Tibetan Master [demon spirit] Djwahl Kuhl. Bailey uses the phrase
"points of light" in connection with a "New Group of World
Servers" and claims that 1934 marks
the beginning of "the organizing of the men and women...group work of a new
order...[with] progress defined by service...the world of the Brotherhood...the Forces of
Light...[and] out of the spoliation of all existing culture and civilization, the new
world order must be built."
The book is published by the Lucis Trust, incorporated originally in New York as
the Lucifer Publishing Company. Lucis Trust is a United Nations NGO and has
been a major player at the recent U.N. summits. Later Assistant Secretary General of the
U.N. Robert Mueller would credit the creation of his World Core Curriculum for education
to the underlying
teachings of Djwahl Kuhl via Alice Bailey's writings on the subject.
1932 -- Plan for Peace by American Birth Control League founder Margaret Sanger
(1921) is published. She calls for coercive sterilization, mandatory segregation, and
rehabilitative concentration camps for all "dysgenic stocks" including Blacks,
Hispanics, American Indians and Catholics.
October 28, 1939 -- In an address by John Foster Dulles, later U.S. Secretary of
State, he proposes that America lead the transition to a new order of less independent,
semi-sovereign states bound together by a league or federal union.
1939 -- New World Order by H. G. Wells proposes a collectivist one-world
state"' or "new world order"
comprised of "socialist democracies."
He advocates "universal conscription for service" and declares that "nationalist individualism...is the world's
disease." He continues:
"The manifest necessity for some
collective world control to eliminate warfare and the less generally admitted necessity
for a collective control of the economic and biological life of mankind, are aspects of
one and the same process." He proposes that this be accomplished through
"universal law" and propaganda (or education)."
1940 -- The New World Order is published by
the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and contains a select list of references on
regional and world federation, together with some special plans for world order after the
war.
December 12, 1940 -- In The Congressional Record an article entitled A
New World Order John G. Alexander calls for a world federation.
1942 -- The leftist Institute of Pacific Relations publishes Post War Worlds by
P.E. Corbett:
"World government is the ultimate
aim...It must be recognized that the law of nations takes precedence over national
law...The process will have to be
assisted by the deletion of the nationalistic material employed in educational textbooks
and its replacement by material explaining the benefits of wiser association."
June 28, 1945 -- President Truman endorses
world government in a speech:
"It will be just as easy for nations to
get along in a republic of the world
as it is for us to get along in a republic of the United States."
October 24, 1945 -- The United Nations
Charter becomes effective. Also on October 24, Senator Glen Taylor (D-Idaho) introduces
Senate Resolution 183 calling upon the U.S. Senate to go on record as favouring creation
of a world republic including an international police force.
1946 -- Alger Hiss is elected President of the Carnegie Endowment for
International Peace. Hiss holds this office until 1949. Early in 1950, he is convicted of
perjury and sentenced to prison after a sensational trial and Congressional hearing in
which Whittaker Chambers, a former senior editor of Time, testifies that Hiss was a member
of his Communist Party cell.
1946 -- The Teacher and World Government by former editor of the NEA Journal
(National Education Association) Joy Elmer Morgan is published. He says:
"In the struggle to establish an
adequate world government, the teacher...can
do much to prepare the hearts and minds of children for global understanding and
cooperation...At the very heart of all the agencies which will assure the coming of world
government must stand the school, the teacher, and the organized profession."
1947 -- The American Education Fellowship,
formerly the Progressive Education Association, organized by John Dewey, calls for the:
"...establishment of a genuine world
order, an order in which national sovereignty is subordinate to world authority..."
October, 1947 -- NEA Associate Secretary
William Carr writes in the NEA Journal that teachers should:
"...teach about the various proposals
that have been made for the strengthening
of the United Nations and the establishment of a world citizenship and world
government."
1948 -- Walden II by behavioral
psychologist B.F. Skinner proposes "a
perfect society or new and more perfect
order" in which children are reared by the State, rather than by their
parents and are trained from birth to demonstrate only desirable behavior and
characteristics. Skinner's ideas would be widely implemented by educators in the 1960s,
70s, and 80s as Values Clarification and Outcome Based Education.
July, 1948 -- Britain's Sir Harold Butler, in the CFR's Foreign Affairs,
sees "a New World Order"
taking shape:
"How far can the life of nations, which
for centuries have thought of themselves
as distinct and unique, be merged with the life of other nations? How far are they
prepared to sacrifice a part of their sovereignty without which there can be no effective
economic or political union?...Out of the prevailing confusion a new world is taking
shape... which may point the way toward the new order...That will be the beginning of a
real United Nations, no longer crippled by a split personality, but held together by a
common faith."
1948 -- UNESCO president and Fabian
Socialist, Sir Julian Huxley, calls for a radical eugenic policy in UNESCO: Its Purpose
and Its Philosophy. He states:
"Thus, even though it is quite true that
any radical eugenic policy of controlled
human breeding will be for many years politically and psychologically impossible, it will
be important for UNESCO to see that the eugenic problem is examined with the greatest care
and that the public mind is informed of the issues at stake that much that is now
unthinkable may at least become thinkable."
1948 -- The preliminary draft of a World
Constitution is published by U.S. educators advocating regional federation on the way
toward world federation or government with England incorporated into a European
federation.
The Constitution provides for a "World Council" along with a "Chamber
of Guardians" to enforce world law. Also included is a "Preamble"
calling upon nations to surrender their arms to the world government, and includes the
right of this "Federal Republic of the World" to seize private
property for federal use.
February 9, 1950 -- The Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee introduces Senate
Concurrent Resolution 66 which begins:
"Whereas, in order to achieve universal
peace and justice, the present Charter of the United Nations should be changed to provide
a true world government constitution."
The resolution was first introduced in the Senate on September 13, 1949 by Senator Glen
Taylor (D-Idaho). Senator Alexander Wiley (R-Wisconsin) called it "a consummation devoutly to be wished for"
and said, "I understand your proposition is
either change the United Nations, or change or create, by a separate convention, a world
order." Senator Taylor later stated:
"We would have to sacrifice considerable
sovereignty to the world organization
to enable them to levy taxes in their own right to support themselves."
1950 -- In testimony before the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, international financier James P Warburg said:
"we shall have a world government,
whether or not we like it. The question
is only whether world government will be achieved by consent or by conquest."
April 12, 1952 -- John Foster Dulles, later
to become Secretary of State, says in a speech to the American Bar Association in
Louisville, Kentucky, that "treaty laws can
override the Constitution." He says treaties can take power away from
Congress and give them to the President. They can take powers from the States and give
them to the Federal Government or to some international body and they can cut across the
rights given to the people by their constitutional Bill of Rights. A Senate amendment,
proposed by GOP Senator John Bricker, would have provided that no treaty could supersede
the Constitution, but it fails to pass by one vote.
1954 -- Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands establishes the Bilderbergers,
international politicians and bankers who meet secretly on an annual basis.
1954 -- H. Rowan Gaither, Jr., President - Ford Foundation said to Norman Dodd
of the Congressional Reese Commission:
"...all of us here at the policy-making
level have had experience with directives...from

as to alter our life in the United States that we can be comfortably merged with the
Soviet Union."
1954 -- Senator William Jenner said:
"Today the path to total dictatorship in
the United States can be laid by strictly legal means, unseen and unheard by the Congress,
the President, or the people....outwardly we have a Constitutional government. We have
operating within our government and political system, another body representing another
form of government, a bureaucratic elite which believes our Constitution is outmoded and
is sure that it is the winning side.... All the strange developments in the foreign policy
agreements may be traced to this group who are going to make us over to suit their
pleasure.... This political action group has its own local political support
organizations, its own pressure groups, its own vested interests, its foothold within our
government, and its own propaganda apparatus."
1958 -- World Peace through World Law
is published, where authors Grenville Clark and Louis Sohn advocate using the U.N. as a
governing body for the world, world disarmament, a world police force and legislature.
1959 -- The Council on Foreign Relations calls for a New International Order. Study Number 7, issued

"...new international order [which] must
be responsive to world aspirations
for peace, for social and economic change...an international order...including states labeling themselves as 'socialist'
[communist]."
1959 -- The World Constitution and
Parliament Association is founded which later develops a Diagram of World Government
under the Constitution for the Federation of Earth.
1959 -- The Mid-Century Challenge to U.S. Foreign Policy is published, sponsored
by the Rockefeller Brothers' Fund. It explains that the U.S.:

welcome...the task which history has imposed on us. This is the task of helping to shape a
new world order in all its dimensions -- spiritual, economic, political, social."
September 9, 1960 -- President Eisenhower
signs Senate Joint Resolution 170, promoting the concept of a federal
Atlantic Union. Pollster and Atlantic Union Committee treasurer, Elmo Roper, later
delivers an address titled, The Goal Is Government of All the World, in
which he states:
"For it becomes clear that the first
step toward World Government cannot be completed until we have advanced on the four
fronts: the economic, the military, the political and the social."
1961 -- The U.S. State Department issues a
plan to disarm all nations and arm the United Nations. State Department Document
Number 7277 is entitled Freedom From War: The U.S. Program for General and
Complete Disarmament in a Peaceful World. It details a three-stage plan to disarm
all nations and arm the U.N. with the final stage in which "no state would have the military power to challenge
the progressively strengthened U.N. Peace Force."
March 1,1962 -- Sen. Clark speaking on the
floor of the Senate about PL 87-297 which calls for the disbanding of all armed forces and
the prohibition of their re-establishment in any form whatsoever. "..This program is the fixed, determined and approved policy of the
government of the United
States."
1962 -- New Calls for World Federalism. In a
study titled, A World Effectively Controlled by the United Nations,
CFR member Lincoln Bloomfield states:
"...if the communist dynamic was greatly
abated, the West might lose whatever incentive it has for world government."
The Future of Federalism by author Nelson Rockefeller is published. The
one-time Governor of New York, claims that current events compellingly demand a "new world order," as the old
order is crumbling, and there is "a new and
free order struggling to be born." Rockefeller says there is:
"a fever of nationalism...[but] the
nation-state is becoming less and less
competent to perform its international political tasks....These are some of the reasons
pressing us to lead vigorously toward the true building of a new world order...[with]
voluntary service...and our dedicated faith in the brotherhood of all mankind....Sooner
perhaps than we may realize...there will evolve the bases for a federal structure of the
free world."
1963 -- J. William Fulbright, Chairman of
the Senate Foreign Relations Committee speaks at a symposium sponsored by the Fund for the
Republic, a left-wing project of the Ford Foundation:
"The case for government by elites is
irrefutable...government by the people is possible but highly improbable."
1964 -- Taxonomy of Educational
Objectives, Handbook II is published. Author Benjamin Bloom states:
"...a large part of what we call 'good
teaching' is the teacher's ability to attain affective objectives through challenging the
students' fixed beliefs."
His Outcome-Based Education (OBE) method of teaching would first be tried
as Mastery Learning in Chicago schools. After five years, Chicago students'
test scores had plummeted causing outrage among parents. OBE would leave a trail of
wreckage wherever it would be tried and under whatever name it would be used. At the same
time, it would become crucial to globalists for overhauling the education system to
promote attitude changes among school students.
1964 -- Visions of Order by Richard Weaver is published. He describes:
"progressive educators as a
'revolutionary cabal' engaged in 'a systematic attempt to undermine society's traditions and

make the most of their citizenship which now widens into active world citizenship."
July 26, 1968 -- Nelson Rockefeller pledges
support of the New World Order. In an Associated Press report, Rockefeller pledges that, "as President, he would work toward international creation of a
new world order."
1970 -- Education and the mass media promote
world order. In Thinking About A New World Order for the Decade 1990,
author Ian Baldwin, Jr. asserts that:
"...the World Law Fund has begun a
worldwide research and educational program that will introduce a new, emerging discipline
-- world order -- into educational curricula throughout the world...and to concentrate
some of its energies on bringing basic world order concepts into the mass media again on a
worldwide level."
1972 -- President Nixon visits China. In his

May 18, 1972 -- In speaking of the coming of
world government, Roy M. Ash, director of the Office of Management and Budget, declares
that:
"within two decades the institutional

Brzezinski, later National Security Advisor to President Carter, as the Commission's first
director and invites Jimmy Carter to become a founding member.
1973 -- Humanist Manifesto II is published:
"The next century can be and should be
the humanistic century...we stand at the dawn of a new age...a secular society on a
planetary scale....As non-theists we begin with humans not God, nature not deity...we

development of a system of world law and a world order based upon transnational federal
government....The true revolution is occurring."
April, 1974 -- Former U. S. Deputy Assistant
Secretary of State, Trilateralist and CFR member Richard Gardner's article The Hard
Road to World Order is published in the CFR's Foreign Affairs
where he states that:
"the 'house of world order' will have to
be built from the bottom up rather than from the top down...but an end run around national
sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more than the old-fashioned
frontal assault."
1974 -- The World Conference of Religion for
Peace, held in Louvain, Belgium is held. Douglas Roche presents a report entitled We
Can Achieve a New World Order.
The U.N. calls for wealth redistribution: In a report entitled New International
Economic Order, the U.N. General Assembly outlines a plan to redistribute the

1975 -- In Congress, 32 Senators and 92 Representatives sign A Declaration
of Interdependence, written by historian Henry Steele Commager. The
Declaration states that:
"we must join with others to bring forth
a new world order...Narrow notions
of national sovereignty must not be permitted to curtail that obligation."
Congresswoman Marjorie Holt refuses to sign the Declaration saying:
"It calls for the surrender of our
national sovereignty to international organizations. It declares that our economy should be
regulated by international
authorities. It proposes that we enter a 'new world order' that would redistribute the
wealth created by the American people."
1975 -- Retired Navy Admiral Chester Ward,
former Judge Advocate General of the U.S. Navy and former CFR member, writes in a critique
that the goal of the CFR is the "submergence
of U. S. sovereignty and national
independence into an all powerful one-world
government..."
1975 -- Kissinger on the Couch is published. Authors Phyllis
Schlafly and former CFR member Chester Ward state:
"Once the ruling members of the CFR have
decided that the U.S. government
should espouse a particular policy, the very substantial research facilities of the CFR
are put to work to develop arguments, intellectual and emotional, to support the new
policy and to confound, discredit, intellectually and politically, any opposition..."
1976 -- RIO: Reshaping the
International Order is published by the globalist Club of Rome,

1979 -- Barry Goldwater, retiring Republican
Senator from Arizona, publishes his autobiography With No Apologies. He
writes:
"In my view The Trilateral Commission
represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate the four
centers of power -- political, monetary, intellectual, and ecclesiastical. All this is to
be done in the interest of creating a more peaceful, more productive world community. What
the Trilateralists truly intend is the creation of a worldwide economic power superior to
the political governments of the nation-states involved. They believe the abundant
materialism they propose to create will overwhelm existing differences. As managers and
creators of the system they will rule the future."
1984 -- The Power to Lead is
published. Author James McGregor Burns admits:
"The framers of the U.S. constitution
have simply been too shrewd for us. The have outwitted us. They designed separate
institutions that cannot be unified by mechanical linkages, frail bridges, tinkering. If
we are to 'turn the Founders upside down' -- we must directly confront the constitutional
structure they erected."
1985 -- Norman Cousins, the honorary
chairman of Planetary Citizens for the World We Chose, is
quoted in Human Events:
"World government is coming, in fact, it
is inevitable. No arguments for or against it can change that fact."
Cousins was also president of the World Federalist Association, an
affiliate of the World Association for World Federation (WAWF),
headquartered in Amsterdam. WAWF is a leading force for world federal
government and is accredited by the U.N. as a Non-Governmental Organization.
1987 -- The Secret Constitution and the Need for Constitutional Change is
sponsored in part by the Rockefeller Foundation. Some thoughts of author Arthur S. Miller
are:
"...a pervasive system of thought
control exists in the United States... ...the citizenry is indoctrinated by employment of
the mass media and the system of public education...people are told what to think
about...the old order is crumbling...Nationalism should be seen as a dangerous social
disease...A new vision is required to plan and manage the future, a global vision that
will transcend national boundaries and eliminate the poison of nationalistic solutions...a
new Constitution is necessary."
1988 -- Former Under-secretary of State and
CFR member George Ball in a January 24 interview in the New York Times says:
"The Cold War should no longer be the
kind of obsessive concern that it is. Neither side is going to attack the other
deliberately...If we could internationalize
by using the U.N. in conjunction with the Soviet Union,
because we now no longer have to fear, in most
cases, a Soviet veto, then we could begin to transform the shape of the world and might
get the U.N. back to doing something useful...Sooner or later we are going to have to face
restructuring our institutions so that they are not confined merely to the nation-states.
Start first on a regional and ultimately you could move to a world basis."
December 7, 1988 -- In an address to the U.N., Mikhail Gorbachev calls for

Bernstein of Watergate fame) book Loyalties: A Son's Memoir is published.
His father and mother had been members of the Communist party. Bernstein's father tells
his son about the book:
"You're going to prove [Sen. Joseph]
McCarthy was right, because all he was saying is that the system was loaded with
Communists. And he was right...I'm worried about the kind of book you're going to write
and about cleaning up McCarthy. The problem is that everybody said he was a liar; you're
saying he was right...I agree that the Party was a force in the country."
1990 -- The World Federalist
Association faults the American press. Writing in their Summer/Fall newsletter,
Deputy Director Eric Cox describes world events over the past year or two and declares:
"It's sad but true that the slow-witted
American press has not grasped the significance of most of these developments. But most
federalists know what is happening...And they are not frightened by the old bug-a-boo of
sovereignty."
September 11, 1990 -- President Bush calls
the Gulf War an opportunity for the New World Order. In an address to
Congress entitled Toward a New World Order, Mr. Bush says:
"The crisis in the Persian Gulf offers a
rare opportunity to move toward an historic period of cooperation. Out of these troubled
times...a new world order can emerge in which the nations of the world, east and west,
north and south, can prosper and live in harmony....Today the new world is struggling to
be born."
September 25, 1990 -- In an address to the

New World Order which is attended by 65 prestigious members of government, labor,
academia, the media, military, and the professions from nine countries. Later, several of
the conference participants joined some 100 other world leaders for another closed door
meeting of the Bilderberg Society in Baden Baden, Germany. The
Bilderbergers also exert considerable clout in determining the foreign policies of
their respective governments. While at that meeting, David Rockefeller said in a speech:
"We are grateful to the Washington Post,
The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have
attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years.
It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been
subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more
sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational
sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the
national auto-determination practiced in past centuries."
July, 1991 -- The Southeastern World Affairs
Institute discusses the New World Order. In a program, topics include, Legal
Structures for a New World Order and The United Nations: From
its Conception to a New World Order. Participants include a former director of the

Parenthood.
Late July, 1991 -- On a Cable News Network program, CFR member and former CIA
director Stansfield Turner (Rhodes scholar), when asked about Iraq, responded:
"We have a much bigger objective. We've
got to look at the long run here.
This is an example -- the situation between the United Nations and Iraq -- where the
United Nations is deliberately intruding into the sovereignty of a sovereign nation...Now
this is a marvelous precedent (to be used in) all countries of the world..."
October 29, 1991 -- David Funderburk, former
U. S. Ambassador to Romania, tells a North Carolina audience:
"George Bush has been surrounding
himself with people who believe in one-world government. They believe that the Soviet
system and the American system are converging." The vehicle to bring this about, said
Funderburk, is the United Nations, "the
majority of whose 166 member states
are socialist, atheist, and anti-American."
Funderburk served as ambassador in Bucharest from 1981 to 1985, when he resigned in
frustration over U.S. support of the oppressive regime of the late Rumanian dictator,
Nicolae Ceausescu.
October 30, 1991: -- President Gorbachev at the Middle East Peace Talks in
Madrid states:
"We are beginning to see practical
support. And this is a very significant sign of the movement towards a new era, a new
age...We see both in our country and elsewhere...ghosts of the old thinking...When we rid
ourselves of their presence, we will be better able to move toward a new world
order...relying on the relevant mechanisms of the United Nations."
Elsewhere, in Alexandria, Virginia, Elena Lenskaya, Counsellor to the Minister of
Education of Russia, delivers the keynote address for a program titled, Education
for a New World Order.
1992 -- The Twilight of Sovereignty by CFR member (and former Citicorp

Environment and Development (UNCED) Earth Summit takes place in Rio de Janeiro

because of opposition at home due to the threat to sovereignty and economics. The summit
says the first world's wealth must be transferred to the third world.
July 20, 1992 -- TIME magazine publishes The Birth of the Global Nation by
Strobe Talbott, Rhodes Scholar, roommate of Bill Clinton at Oxford University, CFR
Director, and Trilateralist, in which he writes:
"All countries are basically social
arrangements...No matter how permanent
or even sacred they may seem at any one time, in fact they are all artificial and
temporary...Perhaps national sovereignty wasn't such a great idea after all...But it has
taken the events in our own wondrous and terrible century to clinch the case for world
government."
As an editor of Time, Talbott defended Clinton during his presidential
campaign. He was appointed by President Clinton as the number two person at the State
Department behind Secretary of State Warren Christopher, former Trilateralist and former
CFR Vice-Chairman and Director. Talbott was confirmed by about two-thirds of the U.S.
Senate despite his statement about the unimportance of national sovereignty.
September 29, 1992 -- At a town hall meeting in Los Angeles, Trilateralist and
former CFR president Winston Lord delivers a speech titled Changing Our Ways:
America and the New World, in which he remarks:

have to yield some of our sovereignty,
which will be controversial at home... [Under] the North American Free Trade Agreement
(NAFTA)...some Americans are going to be hurt as low-wage jobs are taken away."
Lord became an Assistant Secretary of State in the Clinton administration.
1992 -- President Bush addressing the General Assembly of the U.N said:

publishes Empowering the United Nations by U.N. Secretary
General Boutros-Boutros Ghali, who asserts:
"It is undeniable that the centuries-old
doctrine of absolute and
exclusive sovereignty no longer
stands...Underlying the rights of the individual and the rights of peoples is a dimension
of universal sovereignty that resides in all humanity...It is a sense that increasingly
finds expression in the gradual expansion of international law...In this setting the
significance of the United Nations should be evident and accepted."
1993 -- Strobe Talbott receives the Norman
Cousins Global Governance Award for his 1992 TIME article, The Birth
of the Global Nation and in appreciation for what he has done "for the cause
of global governance." President Clinton writes a letter of congratulation which
states:
"Norman Cousins worked for world peace
and world government..... ...Strobe Talbott's lifetime achievements as a voice for global
harmony have earned him this recognition...He will be a worthy recipient of the Norman
Cousins Global Governance Award. Best wishes...for future success."
Not only does President Clinton use the specific term, "world government,"
but he also expressly wishes the WFA "future success" in pursuing world federal
government. Talbott proudly accepts the award, but says the WFA should have given it to
the other nominee, Mikhail Gorbachev.
July 18, 1993 -- CFR member and Trilateralist Henry Kissinger writes in the Los
Angeles Times concerning NAFTA:

Socialist friend of Bill Clinton when he was at Oxford University, says in a C-Span
interview:

is a ruling class in this country, and that it has allies internationally."
October 30, 1993 -- Washington Post
ombudsman Richard Harwood does an op-ed piece about the role of the CFR's media members:
"Their membership is an acknowledgment
of their ascension into the American ruling class [where] they do not merely analyze and
interpret foreign policy for the United States; they help make it."
January/February, 1994 -- The CFR's Foreign Affairs prints an opening
article by CFR Senior Fellow Michael Clough in which he writes that the "Wise
Men" (e.g. Paul Nitze, Dean Acheson, George Kennan, and John J. McCloy) have:
"assiduously guarded it [American
foreign policy] for the past 50 years...They
ascended to power during World War II...This was as it should be. National security and
the national interest, they argued must transcend the special interests and passions of
the people who make up America...How was this small band of Atlantic-minded
internationalists able to triumph ...Eastern internationalists were able to shape and
staff the burgeoning foreign policy institutions...As long as the Cold War endured and
nuclear Armageddon seemed only a missile away, the public was willing to tolerate such an
undemocratic foreign policy making system."
1994 -- In the Human Development Report,
published by the UN Development Program, there was a section called "Global
Governance For the 21st Century". The administrator for this program was
appointed by Bill Clinton. His name is James Gustave Speth. The opening sentence of the
report said:
"Mankind's problems can no longer be
solved by national government. What is needed is a World Government. This can best be
achieved by strengthening the United Nations system."
1995 -- The State of the World Forum took
place in the fall of this year, sponsored by the Gorbachev Foundation located at the
Presidio in San Francisco. Foundation President Jim Garrison chairs the meeting of
who's-whos from around the world including Margaret Thatcher, Maurice Strong, George Bush,
Mikhail Gorbachev and others. Conversation centers around the oneness of mankind and the
coming global government. However, the term "global governance" is now used in
place of "new world order" since the latter has become a political liability,
being a lightning rod for opponents of global government.
1996 -- The United Nations 420-page report Our Global Neighborhood
is published. It outlines a plan for "global governance," calling for an
international Conference on Global Governance in 1998 for the purpose of
submitting to the world the necessary treaties and agreements for ratification by the year
2000.
