You should also know that History is and always has been written by the Victors.
The Rothschild s and their Counting Houses along with their side kicks the Rockefeller s and the Gates and their old competitor Soros - you have much of History to catch up on. Learn the difference also between the real Jews (nice people) and the Zionists (not nice) Big differences. Did you know that Israel is owned by the Rothschilds'
Many Many Many Members here have done serious research into Historical Factual Data and some of it has taken years and some people have even died exposing these leaches -
Insults!!!!

I think if someone could come up with a completely transparent model that is also based on democratic principles. We do need some type of global institution, yet at the same time we also need more localism. Its a dichotomy that needs to be addressed. The nation state is too small to deal with global problems but too big to deal with local problems.
David rockefeller one of the most powerful and rich in the world openly talks about one world government. AND de-population. Bill gates also talks about the need for de-population..

I oppose a one world government because NOTHING is inevitable in this life other than death. I would surely give my life opposing a one world government. You may think that a one world government would bring peace and harmony to the world, a utopia if you will. Sad to say but history is full of megalomaniacal rulers who promised their peoples utopia and instead delivered a dystopia.

And that is a bad thing how? As long as it is not achieved by killing people, depopulation is very much beneficial for humanity.

I think the idea of resource based economies makes perfect sense, which is what I think the zeitgeist movies are trying to push. Basically we have finite resources on the planet, we need to stop basing our economic models on the assumption that we have unlimited resources. Both Capitalism and Communism work on this assumption. So both of these models are outdated and we need to think of a better way to move forward based on the scientific knowledge of the resources that are available to the worlds people. Obviously this process wont go down well with everyone.
What makes you think such a government will be democratic? It will be the greatest centralization of POWER in the history of the world. We already see what happens to politicians in power, what do you think will REALLY HAPPEN with global power concentrated like that?

Because I believe it will be the most evil regime ever to cover the face of the earth. I also do not believe in "evolution" or "darwinism"; I do believe species adapt, but fish stay fish and apes stay apes.
Originally posted by MathematicalPhysicistSo, why oppose it? Why oppose human evolution?
The US is currently a corporate police state, and was never a democracy at all. In our "hey day" we were a representative republic, but those days are over. Our freedoms are basically gone.
Originally posted by MathematicalPhysicist I've heard all the arguments against a one-world government, and frankly, none of them hold any merit at all. The most common one, "There are simply too many religions, cultures, and ethnic groups to expect a democratic one-world government". The U.S also has a very diverse mix of ethnic groups, religions, and cultures and they happen to make it work and are democratic for the most part.
Yes.
Originally posted by MathematicalPhysicist Should the U.S become more decentralized, then? Should they split up into 50 countries, and then decentralize further into defining their borders by cities? That is what the argument implies.
As shown above, your initial supposition is false, thus the rest of your argument has no foundation.
Originally posted by MathematicalPhysicist If the U.S can be a stable democratic nation, then a world government can be a stably democratic as well.

Clearly you haven't thought that statement through. Though a program of depopulation and an enforced police state, the people who once numbered 6 billion will be reduced to a more manageable number.
Originally posted by survivalstationDo you remember what happened in East Germany with the Stasi? How about what Stalin did in Russia? Ever hear of ethnic cleansing, gulags or purges?
Your argument is farcical at best. Why would they devalue the currency? Ask Obama, ask Bernanke. Read up on QE 1 and QE2. Do you know anything about mathematics or supply and demand?

I oppose it because of the Psychopathic, evil and power crazy nut jobs who not only want this one world government, but also want over 90% of the earths population eradicated. It also seems likely that they will want only one race in this new world..
It has bad news written all over it.
The question is..
Why NOT oppose it?
You have absolutely no evidence to support your ridiculous assertions. There are no "global elites" that want to control the world and reduce the population. No human organization can perpetuate this "ultimate plan" for years and years without any thing going wrong. That just not plausible.
As for the growth rates of the world are stable and will be declining as more and more countries start to industrialize. Countries that currently have high growth rates also have high death rates as well, so the population rate is stable and directly proportional to our scientific advancements in medicine and biotechnology.
Secondly, there is no reason why these "global elites", if they exist, would want a totalitarian world government. That would imply that first world nations would need to cede their sovereignty and, at the same time, pay exorbitant taxes just to bring third world countries up to par. Why would these "global elites" devalue their currency, when they already have total control over third-world countries by means foreign aid and international loans? Assuming these ancient megalomaniacs exist, the status quo is much more favorable than a totalitarian one-world dictatorship. This global conspiracy is founded on epic nonsense. There is no "group" behind the scenes, I'm afraid. That is the reality.edit on 9-7-2011 by MathematicalPhysicist because: (no reason given)
First of all, there are no "ruling elites". It is just not possible for flawed humans to have continually perpetuated this control over the centuries. Secondly, there is no "sinister plan" for population control.
Do you have any evidence to support this? All the evidence I see says that we are heading for a global police state where 1984 is the ultimate goal.
I am not naive, just a realist. Human evolution, according to historical data, dictates that we are heading towards a democratic one-world government, as countries slowly become industrialized and assimilated by regional unions. This is the future.

I completely agree and this is the most sensible post in this thread by far. Individual freedoms must be preserved, I am not against that. Former nations will be states and will regulate their own laws, police, and other state issues. The federal government will mostly be responsible for research and development, space exploration, universal health-care, and tackling global issues as well as dealing with any state governments that are either oppressing or wronging their citizenry. Of course, this will still take time and could work in another 200-1000 years. We are nowhere close to that, but we are slowly getting there.
