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 explains.

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

no talking please- Yeah. The even scarier thing is that while he's the only one to come out and say this, how many more are thinking it? Planning it?

Consider Mr. Clinton's first official presidential speach. He expressed gratitude for his "mentor" Carol Quigley. Enough said.

Perhaps he plans on getting his next job with the UN, and he is just working on his resume?

Are you paying attention to the ever increasing number of signs along the road? Are you noticing they are becoming clearer, easier to read, more pronounced in meaning? Are you ready to welcome in the New World Order?

Or are you like Chicken Little, keeping your eyes averted and your head down?

Have any of you heard of the Bilderburg organization? This is their stated goal. The names of the people in this group will amaze you.

I will probably get banned forever from this forum for even ASKING, but could it be that there are some advantages to one world government? One advantage might be more equitable treatment of all the world's people. Right now, people in many countries are totally exploited by other, more powerful countries.

Another possible advantage would be that we could stop putting so many of our resources into making nuclear weapons, paying the huge cost of standing armies, not to mention the cost of sending our boys overseas every time some creepo starts throwing his weight around.

As far as "Big Brother", I am very concerned about that aspect of one world government, but, hells bells, we are already getting Big Brother here in the USA, without one world govenment.

What we really need to worry about is BAD government, wherever it is.
