- In The News: New Global Order?
I was planning to get back to my England Series but saw an opportunity to give some substance to my concluding remark in my previous article: “The Day After.” (Read the P.S. again at the bottom of that article).
There will be a summit this weekend attended by world leaders (20 world economies) including British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown. He is, as well as other leaders, focusing on the Obama administration to set a serious tone for addressing the world financial crisis.
On the subject of foreign policy, he hopes that there will be a major focus by Obama’s team on global institutions. The World Bank and International Monetary Fund, he hopes, would be on the priority list for radical reforms.
He believes there should be more involvement regarding future roles in world institutions for China and the Persian Gulf. This worldwide financial crisis could, according to Prime Minister Brown, be the “birth pangs of a new global order”.
Having family and friends who live in Europe, I am fortunate to know the inside scoop as well as hear the whispers on the other side of the Atlantic ocean.
Speaking of whispers, another spotlight has been updated in Stairway to Secrets. Look in the Music section and enjoy the video and songs performed by Jeanne Madsen. There will also be another update coming soon in the Video section. Have you ever seen an elephant paint?
With all the changes heading our way, make sure you take the time to reflect upon the things that are most important to you. It is necessary we stay alert to our surroundings; however, we must be careful that we don’t bury ourselves in too many worries and distractions. So if you’ve never seen an elephant paint before, now is the time to discover the wonders of the world you live in.
Share with us how you feel about your surroundings- if there is anything you wish to add or change.

It will be very interesting to observe what happens here. I think that this New World Order has been in the creation stages for some time now. Sometimes I don’t know if anyone in politics can be trusted. Certainly not Obama, but I don’t think Bush either. These should be some interesting times ahead. I feel as you that we are headed to a storm. It will be interesting to see.
Thank you Randi for your comment. It is wonderful to hear what other people think.
Looking at past leaders who contributed and lead, making an aggressive mark on society, I believe, at some point, intentions could have been pure in the beginning(how far back in the beginning I don’t know).
Perhaps even Hitler or Napoleon had good intentions in their early days? People loved Hitler in the beginning and felt he was their savior (it might be interesting to read his book: “Mein Kampf”.. “My Fight”. Anybody read the book? I’m curious to know what he wrote).
We know opposition sets its root in the most fertile region (good intentions) so it can thrive and expand its territory. When the season changes and the wind gathers new seeds (thoughts, ideas) the region becomes home to all.
However, where there is access to light and nutrition, the seedlings may compete with one another for dominion. Absolute power may then sprout forth with the capability to cease, weaken, and manipulate the human heart.
This hidden agenda may be recognizable when it hides behind a mask, for history has revealed similar masks. We should therefore strive to be aware and cultivate our own inner surroundings to successfully shape what is on the outside.
This fertile region would then be able to handle the winds of change where seeds embrace life and all that is in it. When that happens, I believe there is enough light and nutrition for all!
After doing a little research myself, I discovered that Hitler wrote a second book (unpublished, which was hidden in an air raid shelter only to be discovered by an American soldier towards the end of the war) which expands a little more on “Mein Kampf” but with a huge terrain on “foreign policy”.
Interestingly, his vision included a greater Germany (control over most of Europe), and its confrontation, for world domination, with the United States by 1980. According to this futuristic path involving Hitler’s force, this world domination would be sought with the aid of the British Empire.
As a child I grew up with war stories related to me by my parents who survived the war but remembered well, the influence Hitler had on his people. It began with hope which later turned to a sour dictatorship.
Here is a clip of his first speech as Chancellor. Notice the people’s reaction as he spoke. Observe his body’s movement throughout the address, and the long pause at the beginning.

I agree. It will be interesting to see what happens during the next four years. I believe we need a change, but the change we need is not necessarily with the government, but with each of us as individuals. We need to realize that the problems we are having now are not only the fault of big business and the government, but more our own fault.
What are the wispers from your family or friends in Europe about our new president elect? Anything new world order tastes bad in my mouth.
