50% of the WORLD lives off of or under $2.00 a day and work for wages we would not think twice about turning down. Even our own industry knows this, and replaced like 60% of the manufacturing jobs with robots, or moved them overseas where they can get people to work for $0.03 a they make.
I guess you are trying to compare apples and oranges here. Compare us to countries like us, not to the third world. And blame the victim while you're at it. Americans' greed is what caused our jobs to be shipped overseas and roboticized out of existence? Really? Not corporate greed but workers' greed in NOT being willing to work for $2.00 a day?
Hogwash. And more to the point, the OP has done a great service compiling these documents all in one place where they tell a compelling story...not only is the average American too busy to have read these documents already, why should they have known they exist? I'm sick of ats elitists blaming average Americans for our common predicament. I would argue, we, as the conspiracy educated fringe, have failed our fellow countrymen rather than vice-versa. Blame the media for force-feeding them trivia, rather than the truth. Even blame sites such as this one for promulgating the notion that people who believe in conspiracies like this also believe in lizard people from the center of the earth. (No offense to the those folks, but c'mon, the average guy isn't apt to give that a fair listen)
I have been reading threads on ats for several years now, and I haven't seen a "one-world conspiracy" thread so well documented and presented. What that means is that to expect the average American to have read this information already is ludicrous. We don't get anywhere disparaging our fellow man as sheeple. How many people have you personally shared this information with? Ask yourself if YOU are doing everything YOU can before blaming the average American.

You are asking to have the US compared only to countries "like the US," in other words, you are expecting to disqualify any comparisons in which the US isn't depicted favorably. There's no reason for this, except to squelch unfavorable comparisons. The US is a nation of human beings. Any third world nation, likewise, is a nation of human beings. Whether that's Taiwan, North Korea, Cambodia, Cuba, or anything else. All nations are nations of actual people. The only difference is the relative comfort, security, and liberty in those nations.
A one-world government would see no reason why Americans should automatically be granted greater comfort or security than Cambodians, and neither do I. We are all human, we all deserve the same dignity. And it is well within the financial reach of our global economy to provide that dignity (and liberty) to all people in every nation - we are hampered only by our backward nationalist assertions national "exceptionalism." Come on now, it's silly. People are people, and the imaginary lines that separate nations should be abolished.
If there are enough resources to go around (and there are), then any system that denies those resources to people who need them -- regardless of what kind of system it is or how warm and fuzzy it makes you feel -- is inherently evil.

The argument against a one-world system are the true comedy. You seem to think corruption, slavery and subjugation are non-issues under the current system of international law we have now. As for people from the other side of the world policing your streets, there are plenty of people in Taiwan, Afghanistan, Iraq, and many other places who are well acquainted with that situation already.
It's admirable to defend liberty and self-determination, but in reality you have neither right now. "The Powers that Be" are the same elitist psychopaths either way.
The globe is already interconnected politically and economically. There is already a one-world government in place, except instead of officials and institutions that have direct control (and are directly controllable themselves) the one-world government of today is an overstretched system of international law and political etiquette that was never designed to cope with a post-information-revolution world. But it is still a system of international governance, however inefficient and ineffective it may be.

Um, yeah, it is called "Free Market Economics".
When they talk about deregulation, it means allowing banks to write the rules so they can screw everyone who is not super rich. Newt Gingriches contract on America is what took down the U.S. economy that was going like a gang buster in the mid nineties under Clintoin's third way economics.
Can it really bring man into the 21st century with prospects for peace, welfare and dignity?

As much as there is anti-NWO mood, you should understand that it is not a bad thing. Capitalism is very exploitable in very important way, centralization of wealth and power to those who have money.
Globalization is important step towards better humanity. United under one country, freed of religion and nationalism, we can explore universe as one, and perhaps coexist with other species as one.
On February 17, 1950, CFR member James Warburg (banker, and architect of the Federal Reserve System) stated before a Senate Foreign Relations Committee, "We shall have one world government whether or not you like it, by conquest or consent."
