Its really spooky how accurately he basically outlined the elite plan down to the Project Blue Beam bit.
I can't stress enough, this guy is 100% not elitist in any way or would ever have read anything about the likes of uniting behind a martian threat. It just came out of the blue . He's a down to earth ordinary Joe Soap who is quite outspoken against our own government and he genuinely believes that this is the best solution.

I'm afraid I've tried all that. He believes that my view is very much in the minority. What I was hoping for is that with ATS'ers leaving replies on his article he might start to believe that I am not alone in thinking his ideas are a carbon copy of the elites plan to control us. He writes around 3 or 4 op ed pieces a week and this is the first time this rabbit has been pulled out of the bag. I'm aiming to kill this train of thought before he starts expanding it

I work for a website here in Ireland and my boss has just written an article calling for:
Global Government
Global Court
One World Currency
Vaccines to reduce the population
Laying down all arms.
I've been trying to tell him that this is basically the exact same plan the elitist family dynasties of the world have been edging towards for hundreds of years but he is adamant that this can be done.

Global government already exists and I hope it continues to develop, especially from a legalistic, humanitarian and commercial perspective. We live in such a globalized international society today that we need laws governing not just interaction between states, but between multi-national corporations, individuals, courts (given the increasingly trans-national nature of law) and so forth.
2 global courts already exist, which I would say is a positive thing. The International Court of Justice, which has jurisdiction over state to state relations, and the International Criminal Court, which can trial individuals accused of war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity.
In my opinion, these courts are somewhat flawed, given their minimal jurisdiction, lack of flexibility, and lack of funding. Of course, their jurisdiction should be limited to states which accept it, in order to not impede sovereignty, but at the same time, states such as the US have rejected it's authority simply to avoid war crimes prosecution.
A more global approach is necessary, billions of dollars are exchanged everyday on a trans-national basis, goods are shipped all over the world, people migrate every day, migrants are brought to work in different countries, millions of goods are passed through customs unregulated, the banana industry is more regulated than the gun industry. A global approach is required to ensure security, efficiency and sustained economic growth and development throughout the world.
The internationalisation of resources is highly unlikely, but there is some merit to the idea. However, for pragmatic reasons, it can be rejected almost immediately. Saudi Arabia is not going to cede sovereignty over it's oil reserves, and even if they were internationalised, it is likely the more powerful states will ensure an un-equitable division of resources. It's a stupid idea if you are realistic.
However, your fears of one world governance are stupid. The world has been increasingly trending towards global governance since the establishment of the modern nation-state and the increasing inter-state conflict this bred. WW1 and WW2 highlighted the necessity of effective global governance to manage security concerns, conflict, economic disputes, economic crisis and a host of trans-national problems (terrorism, disease epidemics, financial crisis etc). Inter-state conflict has drastically decreased since WW1, although it will never be eliminated entirely.
Global governance is a practical solution to a global problem. It doesn't mean that states have become irrelevant, quite to the contrary, they are still the predominant actors in the global political arena, and global governance can only occur if they willingly cede some degree of sovereignty.

Now this doesn't have to be a bad thing....There can be a good world government! I don't know why people think they are mutually exclusive.
WE need to start doing something about it now, before the evil people enact their plan.
I agree and everyone who say "what if its corrupted". Well yeah it will likely be corrupt at first, everything is but you have to think long term. The big concern is do we want this to come about in a violent way or a more peaceful way?
