And speaking of that “mythical” One World Government

Check out some excerpts from this May 8, 2009 United Nations document:

UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE
World Financial and Economic Crisis and its Impact on Development

“We are determined to take prompt, decisive, harmonious, coordinated and convergent action to address the root causes of the crisis [You mean you’re going to abolish all central banks, outlaw fractional reserve banking, and demand a 100% gold-back medium of exchange?], mitigate its global impact, prevent similar crises in the future, and restructure the world financial and economic system and architecture to achieve a more inclusive, equitable, balanced, stable, and sustainable socio-economic model compatible with life on earth and the overcoming of poverty and inequality. These actions should be undertaken at the international , regional and national levels through new international [You mean One World Government?] and regional institutions, the reform of existing ones, and harmonious, coordinated national, macro-economic policies.”

“The political economy of the model has sought to reduce concentration through anti-monopoly laws and redistributive policies such as progressive taxation [with the exception, of course, of all of the super-rich who pay very little in personal income tax on a percentage basis] and public social service delivery. The values and ethics required for survival demand that inequality be actively reduced. The recognition of asymmetries between the rich and the poor with compensation for them has been proven to reduce [Why just reduce it? Why not make sure that all wealth is redistributed so that everyone has an equal amount of wealth at all times? That’s not very compassionate of you if you’re just going to reduce it.] inequalities between and within nations.”

“The economic cycle and financial market volatility are an integral, recurring part of the prevailing socio-economic system. There have been four major market crashes in the last 150 years (1873-1896 “The Long Depression”, 1907 “The Bankers Panic”, 1929-1943 “the Great Depression” and 2007-2009 “Ongoing Economic Downturn”). Likewise, there have been 22 recessions in the United States since 1900 [That’s “incorrect”—we’ve had a stable economy since 1914 when we created the Federal Reserve to prevent recessions.] and dozens of other recessions and crashes in other countries. Laws, rules, regulations, and institutions have attempted to reduce volatility in financial markets, but capital actively innovates to escape controls. Examples include hedge funds, derivatives and globalization itself through which corporations use regulatory arbitrage to find the most favorable conditions for their activities [You forgot the two primary examples: central banks and fractional reserve banking.].”

“The market without regulation destroys the environment, concentrates income, wealth, and power; increases inequality, and favors financial capital leading to volatility and eventual financial crashes. After 1980 massive, systematic deregulation led to the eventual crash of the ill-fated combination of unlimited avarice with self-regulation. The principle must be to assure a new balance between the Market and State control of market [You mean Socialism?] forces in accordance with a people centered economy that prioritizes the fulfillment of human needs, human rights and human security.”

“Globalization without effective global [You mean One World Government?] or regional institutions is leading the world into chaos.”

“We pledge to recover and restructure avoiding war (World War Two ended the Great Depression [Yes, folks, we always knew the definition of economic growth to Socialists—wealth destruction.]) or the economic warfare of protectionism as well as competitive cycles of devaluations (that hampered recovery in the Great Depression).”

I could quote on and on. Here’s the entire document. Better  read it on an empty stomach.

UPDATE: Here’s the much larger final version.
