Jack:

I checked out the Drudge report and I can't find the article on this - all I see is the above headline. Do you have a link?

-- Scarlett (creolady@aol.com), September 26, 1999.

Just keep watching.. the big splasy headline often comes before the story. Also noticed that Quayle has quit. Dang. There goes all the fun.

-- Linda (lwmb@psln.com), September 26, 1999.

I just e-mailed Drudge to ask about the link/source/context. It's not like him to hit and run without citing a source for a direct quote.

Maybe he'll mention it on the radio tonite -- 10PM Eastern. Check your local listings.

I'll report back if he gets back to me. (Ya right.)

The story's up on Drudge now.

It's nothing new, if you know anything about Talbott.

TALBOTT: NEXT CENTURY, AMERICA WILL NOT EXIST IN CURRENT FORM, 'ALL STATES WILL RECOGNIZE A SINGLE, GLOBAL AUTHORITY'

Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott believes the United States may not exist in its current form in the 21st Century -- because nationhood throughout the world will become obsolete!

Talbott, who is profiled in the NEW YORK TIMES on Monday [for the second time in six months], has defined, shaped and executed the Clinton administration's foreign policy. He has served at the State Department since the first day of the Clinton presidency.

Just before joining the administration, Talbott wrote in TIME magazine -- in an essay titled "The Birth of the Global Nation" -- that he is looking forward to government run by "one global authority."

"Here is one optimist's reason for believing unity will prevail ... within the next hundred years ... nationhood as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority," Talbott declared in the July 20, 1992 issue of TIME.

"A phrase briefly fashionable in the mid-20th century -- 'citizen of the world' -- will have assumed real meaning by the end of the 21st."

Talbott continued: "All countries are basically social arrangements, accommodations to changing circumstances. No matter how permanent and even sacred they may seem at any one time, in fact they are all artificial and temporary."

Talbott's belief that the United States of America and other nations are "artificial and temporary" continues to cause a rift inside of the State Department, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

"I think we are losing sight that we work for the American taxpayer, not Russia, not Asia," one State Department veteran told the DRUDGE REPORT in Washington. "Mr. Talbott is completely consumed with world order and has alienated many career employees here. [His] attitude borders on obsession."

In recent months, Talbott has come under fire for his stand on Russia. The policy of financial and political engagement with Russia as revelations pour forth of massive money-laundering schemes has made Talbott the target of critics, reports John Broder at the TIMES.

"We have to be calm and steady and have a clear sense of purpose," Talbott tells Monday's NEW YORK TIMES.

"One of my modest suggestions to the world is strategic patience. We have to be calm and steady and have a clear sense of purpose when that dynamic is discouraging, as it is today," Talbott tells the TIMES.

Global government has proven to be slightly more complicated than one optimist dreamed.

oh don't worry about Talbot, he's just been talking to the Big Giant Head too much lately.

-- Officer Don (thirdrock@sun.~com), September 26, 1999.

Attention! Attention! Now hear this. Anyone who is unwilling or unable to fit into our new global community will be transported to a special place where they can be re-programmed. Remember-see, hear, and obey.

-- rcw (cwiowa@uiowa.edu), September 26, 1999.

Mr. Talbot should be given his world citizenship card today.

Then he can be fired from the United States government. Surely someone in the government has read the part of the constitution about treason and allegience to foreign powers--and make no mistake about it, any "world government" would be a foreign power!

For any senior government official to favor such a bizarre concept is frightening. Given the dozens of world hot spots, some in conflict of potential conflict for decades and in some cases hundreds of years such a goal would require forced genetic reengineering and reeducations of hundreds of mlllions of people. Oops, maybe "Adolph" Talbot thought of that. ;-)

-- cgbg jr (cgbgjr@webtv.net), September 26, 1999.

This is an extremely dangerous thing to say to countries like Russia and China that have nuclear weapons, and no intention whatsoever to become part of a 'new world order' that to them means American political and corporate hegemony.

One World Government is not only an impossibility, but it is a bad idea, all the more insidious because it seems like a good idea to the simple minded.

There is an optimum size for any group of people, whether it is how many workers you put on a project, or what size a nation can be before its size renders it ungovernable. The true future goes in the opposite direction, towards smaller, more autonomous political units. You can have a global 'community'of sorts without global government.

Islam will not submit. Do we fight them? We have been involving ourselves in foreign wars for decades without proper authorization from Congress. No world authority is acceptable that must come into power by coercion, and by violating the Constitutional principles of self-government.

I used to snicker at the NWO conspirinoids. I don't anymore.

Obviously, we have someone on the payroll who does not have the best interestes of the United States at heart. He obviously has his own agenda...and doesn't care much about the opinions of the people who pay the taxes that pay him. Apparently, however, he apparently does reflect the feelings of his bosses (Secretary of State and President).

It is unfortunate that it is still over a year until the next election.

-- Mad Monk (madmonk@hawaiian.net), September 27, 1999.

mad monk...just think about it. we are probably feeding and caring for most of the world. we pay, we pay, we pay. plus we pay for all their wild schemes. that is why our president just vetoed the tax bill. we can't have our money back!! so when the new global government comes to being--we will provide much of the tax base, don't you think? i believe that is why they will talk nicely to us in the beginning to make us think we are happy about this. then they will simply let us know what we really are. slaves. i don't know about you, but by the time this takes place...i am goin home!! come and get me lord.

I wouldn't sweat it if Talbott thought of it. This guy was the "Soviet Expert" who has been wrong on every point including that the Soviet Union would survive, and that Gorbachev would be its greatest leader.....

And our tax money pays this guy's salary...........
