      Concluding Remarks

      Intelligent foreign policy will require an intelligent president. But this condition
      is not of itself sufficient. As a democratic nation, an intelligent public is also
      required. Policy can only be as good as the polity from which it emerges.
      From this view, the US public remains woefully undereducated about the
      world.


      This exposes the polity to demagogy, and accounts for the culture of fear that
      has characterised US foreign policy of late. It also facilitates foreign lobbies.

      This then, is another essential task for the in-coming US president: to make
      his public understand the new dimensions of the world. The President-elect
      has the intellectual and rhetorical capacity to meet this task.
      In other words, the American high standard of living is dependent on the exploitation of the rest of the world... Accept it and let's keep it that way. :rolleyes:

        Where was he 4,5, or 6 years ago????:mad: Now he comes out saying that he knows the answers to Worlds problems!!!! The solutions he suggests are predicated on accepting the US World view. His observation about who came to Washington underscores this. This speech needs further VERY Very careful listening.

        He has certainly given us a BIG hint that the move against Switzerland, Luxembourg etc was not a coincidental event. I am almost certain that it was all planned on the bases of his comments. It was a way to go after the Ruling Elites in the East !!!!

        Sorry but his comment about numbers lost in the Israeli/Palestinian conflict being "minuscule" makes me shutter. Yes, he is looking at Global events and comparing them, but at the same time he gives a hint of how this problem has been weighted over time by policy makers in DC for the last 40 yrs. Nil. This World View has gotten us where we are today. A sad place indeed.

        Nothing in there to suggest a different course. He wants unilateralism under US banner with full support of the 14-16 members. Period. IMHO that is.

          "It is easier for a government to kill a million people than to control a million people. It is easier for a government to kill a million people than to control a million people." (Repeats the phrase)

          In other words, it is easier for 1 million people to control their government than for their government to control them. What's wrong with that? How does the thought of government killing a million of their own people come up?

          Who thinks this way? Why? He can only be talking about China.

            I think his observations on China are spot on. China has been practicing this for centuries and is not likely to change. Are they ready to use nucks? I tend to think they have other things up their Mandarin sleeves :-)

            So far only the US has shown willingness to use nucks. I think the US nuclear stance is still "All out attack", though there is talk of modifying this stance.

              I know, I am talking to myself here, but I find this speech very facinating. I GOOGLED but there was very little discussion of it in MSM, but a few forums are looking at it closely. Someone made a good transcript of the speech to be found here http://forum.prisonplanet.com/index.php?topic=77745.0 At this link this comment is posted
              Brzezinski and his friends at the RIIA and CFR assure us that nothing of the sort ever happens at these gatherings. However, I did attend one of Brzezinski's lectures at a globalist conference, where the content certainly was disturbing. It was Mikhail Gorbachev's 1995 State of the World Forum in San Francisco, and Brzezinski was one of the key speakers. He was frustrated that the new millennium was only five years away, but his long-sought goal of world government was still far off. "We do not have a new world order," he told the audience, a veritable Who's Who of world finance, business, politics, media, and academia. "We cannot leap into world government in one quick step," Brzezinski noted. Attaining that objective, he explained, would require a gradual process of "globalization," building the new world order "step by step, stone by stone" through "progressive regionalization."
              This is a very interesting speech and very instructive. I get the sense that Brzezinski wants "everyone" to get on wagon and he sees Russia as being a problem in this plan. Why get on one wagon? Because the times have changed, Peak Oil must certainly be the issue requiring all under one banner. He mentions the Baku-Ceyhan pipeline and the need to control Afghanistan. Afghanistan again is the crucial to his plan in order to be close to HC resources in this region. Guess his information must lead him to believe that without HC resource control there is no other alternative to run the world. Hence a unified order, the New World Order.
