If you think that all this alarm over a
New World Order is hypothetical and driven by conspiracy theorists, have a look
at Paul E. Scates’s column at American
Thinker (“Watch Out for the WEF”), which begins:
As long as I can remember, there
have been conspiracy theories about organizations bent on "taking over the
world" — The John Birch Society...the Council on Foreign Relations...The
Trilateral Commission. After a tour in Vietnam and two subsequent
years privy to top-secret information working for the Naval Security Group (a
military arm of the NSA) opened my naïve eyes (I had enlisted in the Marine
Corps at age 17 to "fight the communists"), I was angry enough that
my government had lied to the American people (repeatedly) to spend much of my
college study in discovering how they could get away with such a
betrayal. So I spent a lot of my college studies on government,
political psychology, and philosophy in an attempt to understand how
governments can so easily and often dupe their loyal populations.
Fast-forward to the 21st century,
where yet another entity is apparently "trying to take over the
world." The World Economic Forum, headed by Klaus Schwab (he of
the shaved head, heavy Teutonic accent, and penchant for space movie attire),
could be considered just another object of the conspiracy nuts...but that would
be a serious mistake. Schwab and his minions have been working at
this for over 50 years and, as far-fetched as it sounds, they're very near
achieving their globalist fantasies. Schwab is now 84 years old, so
he and his fellow aging comrades (George Soros is 92) must realize that their
time on Earth is getting short. I believe that's why the
"sudden" aggressiveness of the "woke," progressive agenda,
with the Critical Race Theory push and the claptrap about gender fluidity,
transhumanism, etc. But this movement for global control is anything
but sudden.
In 1967, German socialist agitator
Rudi Dutschke, building on Italian communist Antonio Gramsci's cultural
Marxism, coined the concept "the long march through the institutions"
as a way for Marxists to capture Western societies without recourse to
arms. It called for socialists and their fellow travelers to
infiltrate all of society's institutions: politics, education, entertainment,
the church, the military, etc.
Today, over 50 years hence, we're
seeing the inevitable result of that infiltration . . .
And Mr. Scates enumerates the symptoms we see today of
America’s descent into communism. He
concludes his column:
The devil's greatest lie was
convincing people that he doesn't exist. Laura Hollis recently
wrote a
brilliant essay for the Patriot
Post, "'Save the World' Is a Racket; Stop Falling for
It." The WEF's fantastical vision of the future is just such a
racket, every bit as foul and putrid as the now-disproven communist myth of
equality and freedom was. But the WEF "solution" is on the
verge of becoming reality.
A reader at the American Thinker page comments that raising awareness is a
necessary first step to trying to restore our constitutional republic. Read the full column with reader comments
