Insight into the NWO....
Global Nightmare

The United States is today the bastion of global capitalism. In many ways it is not a true nation, but a gigantic commercial-industrial complex. US citizens have very little say in government affairs and are effectively excluded from the decision making process. Policy is formulated and manipulated by the cosmopolitan financial oligarchy, through a powerful network of interlocking think-tanks, lobby groups, and related ‘opinion makers’. This capitalist ruling class uses the political, military, and economic power of America as an instrument to achieve mercenary interests and purposes. Take as an example the ongoing US campaign against Iraq. The American people are told that the murderous 1991 Gulf War was in the ‘national interest’. The national interest requires Iraq to be kept weak and isolated. The facts are America’s capitalist oligarchy — ‘secret government’ — wants to maintain its privileged dominance of Arab oil. Arab nationalist states, like Libya and Iraq, who challenge foreign exploitation of Arab resources, are the evil enemy. The interests of the American oil conglomerates are erroneously and deceptively termed national interests.

Organisations like the Rock-efeller sponsored Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), among others, formulate and shape the policies later implemented by Washington under the cover of national interest. These influential bodies, funded and backed by transnational corporations, are dedicated to the preservation and expansion of global capitalism. Their job is to keep the world safe for big business. The documents of these elitist global planners leave us in no doubt that national sovereignty and economic self-reliance are anathema in their One World Order. All manifestations of communal spirit are to be abolished or taken over by the agents of international capitalism. In the words of that ‘friend of the people’, David Rockefeller, "Broad human interests are being served best in economic terms where free market forces are able to transcend national boundaries."

In capitalist countries like the United States, Britain and Australia, the ruling circles are hidden behind a "democratic" facade of parliaments and elections. As Karl Marx correctly pointed out, parliamentary elections give the people the right every few years to choose which member of the ruling class will misrepresent them in parliament. The constantly reinforced myth is that the "people" elect the politicians, who thus determine government policy. The plain facts reveal otherwise. The very nature of the capitalist system means Money Rules and the real power centres are often well concealed. The modern state serves capitalism, not the "people". Parliaments are simply talking shops to conceal the truth that the country’s real policies are shaped by decisions taken by transnational corporations and their local big business associates.

The rules of the parliamentary game demand no politician ever question the system or the multitude of myths advanced in the name of liberal democracy and the capitalist free market. Yes, changes to the outward forms and trappings of the system are permitted. But any talk of revolution or dare we say it, overthrowing the system itself, is almost instinctively condemned. The system may be tinkered with, made more responsive, humanised, reformed, even modified, but never challenged! Through numerous subtle messages propagated by the corporate run mass media, we are told there is no alternative to liberal capitalism. Material prosperity and unlimited consumption are the purpose of life itself. And according to this propaganda, only Big Brother capitalism can keep us fat and happy. Without money, say the purveyors of the capitalist nightmare, the individual human being is worthless.

One of the goals of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), in alliance with the secretive European Bilderberg Group, was to weaken, divide, and economically enslave the former Soviet Union. A necessary prelude to the birth of the Corporate One World Order. Today, Russia is reduced to a pauper dependent on the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, with its population and natural resources open to exploitation by transnational corporations and banking institutions. The catastrophic social and economic situation in Russia is being repeated in Indonesia and other Asian countries following the recent financial upheaval. These once prospering developing countries are now subject to IMF reforms designed to fully open their economies to global free trade.

What Is To Be Done?

Living in a society saturated with values and ideas serving the rule of money, what can be done? The key to resisting the combined forces of the Corporate One World Order is an alternative worldview. The agents of the global plutocracy are able to successfully promote their agenda because there is so little coherent, organised opposition. People are being purposefully programmed to accept mass consumer culture, the discrediting of genuine diversity, the deprivation of national sovereignty, and attacks on working people in the guise of privatisation. Strategies and ideologies critical of the globalist agenda are ridiculed, devalued in the eyes of the public, and neutralised. In the post-Cold War era, capitalist globalisation is presented as the "natural course of events" and the "only guarantee of freedom".

The real nature of capitalism’s one world is plain to see. On the eve of the 21st century we must admit that there is more unhappiness, instability, insecurity, anxiety, and downright misery, than ever before. This post-Cold War world is a global system of tyrannical oppression. People’s lives distorted, impoverished and imprisoned by a world in which slavish conformity is hailed as freedom and liberation as austerity. The world capitalist system is sick and such sickness can only end in death, death of the system.

We do not need conspiracy theories to explain what is taking place in our world. The Corporate One World Order is simply the inevitable development of capitalism. History clearly shows that capitalism brings misery to the people, unemployment, inflation, crises, war. Capitalism insists on the sacrifice of people’s national interests and security in order to profit multinational corporations. Independence and sovereignty are betrayed so as to increase profits, guarantee the free flow of capital and goods, and maintain the unjust world economy.

To justify this anti-human system the supporters of capitalism rely on the false argument that respect for and protection of the individual extends to the economic sector. Capitalist notions of liberty and freedom really mean the liberty to exploit other people. The freedom to treat everything, including human beings, as a saleable commodity. Slavery is very much alive in the 1990s, it just takes on new — more discreet — forms.

As long as Australia is shackled to the US dominated world capitalist system, Australia’s resources will always be plundered and Australian workers exploited. The capitalist road leads unavoidably to the Corporate One World Order.

We can only say NO to the New World Order when we embrace an outlook in practical opposition to capitalism’s Corporate World Order. Such an ideological position, based on a scientific approach to contemporary developments, is the way to defeat the advocates of global slavery.

While there are voices critiqueing the current crisis and decrying the fast emerging Corporate One World Order, few people are offering a coherent, comprehensive alternative.

What struggling people all over the world are searching for is not some unjust old world order re-packaged in a new aggressive form, but a new vision with cultural, political and economic horizons that embrace the needs and aspirations of all humanity.

In other words, we must set out a realistic alternative capable of filling the vacuum left by decades of sterility and despair generated by free market capitalism and bureaucratic state socialism.

All genuine political action must take the international picture into consideration. Otherwise much energy, time and resources are wasted in egotistical, transitory ventures. Serious contemporary political action must aim at outmanoeuvring all the forces that have a stake in the Corporate World Order. These forces constitute the ‘hegemony of the hour’ determining as they do all the values and thinking of the modern age. We must lift up a banner of total opposition that demands human values over selfish consumerism, international co-operation in place of an unjust global system, national self-reliance as opposed to global free-trade, cultural diversity over bourgeois sameness.

In the great struggle against economic globalisation, the old animosities of Christians against Muslims, one race against another, one nation against another, must be seen for what they are. Part of the divide and rule tactics used by the exploiters. When necessary, racial and national antagonisms are inflamed by the moneyed class to divide people who should rightly be united in opposition to the common foe. Immigrants are not the ‘problem’, neighbouring peoples are not the ‘enemy’. Ethnic and sexual minorities do not constitute a ‘threat’ to national life. False stereotypes have been deliberately embedded in the public consciousness to divert attention from the reality of events. By blaming the homosexual, the immigrant, the non-believer, the communist — in short the other — reactionary politicians and populist commentators try to deflect attention away from the system. We have seen the enemy, the real cause of the problem — it is the very system in which we live. Stereotypes, constantly reinforced by the media, prevent the mass of people from impartially and sensibly comprehending what is occurring all around us. If the liberal free market globalist agenda is to be defeated, many of us will have to abandon our favourite illusions and accept new realities. The capitalist system is the problem, the real enemy of humanity.

Wrecked by crisis, upheavals, and increasingly exposed, the capitalist system can always depend on sham patriots and populists to come to the rescue. These people fear the loss of the capitalist system and therefore try to deflect attention away from the cause to peripheral issues. They often use a myriad of buzz words like "law and order", "family values", "immigration", "parliamentary democracy", "the constitution", "the war on drugs"… They address only the issues, not the cause! Building more prisons and harsher jail terms will not halt crime. Capital punishment will not bring the end of senseless violence or drug abuse. Crime, drug addiction, and other social diseases are a product of the alienation caused by the exploitative capitalist system. Men and women are not born ‘bad’, they are shaped by the society in which they live. What more can we expect from a society built on exploitation, lies and injustice. Only revolution — the replacement of the current economic, political and social system, with a genuine new society — will save Australia.

The great Australian political economist, Ted Wheelwright, over fifteen years ago, wrote:

Unless Australians can capture state power and turn it to the use of the majority of its people rather than that of the compradors, foreign investors and local elites, the country will decline…to that of a Third World country…which will be like Oliver Goldsmith’s deserted village, a place ‘where wealth accumulates, and men decay’, as its people and resources are used to shore up a world economic system which is grinding to a halt. (Australia: A Client State, Greg Crough and Ted Wheelwright, 1982)

It is futile to form yet another political party to engage in the parliamentary circus. Revolution will only be brought about by a mass movement of Australian people united by a clear vision of what tomorrow must be. This remains the only hope for a future worth living.
