The state is not disappearing; it is unbundling into its separate, functionally distinct parts. These courts, regulatory agencies, executives, and legislatures are then networking with their counterparts abroad, creating a new, transgovernmental order. While lacking the drama of high politics, transnational government networks are a reality for the internationalists of the 1990s -- bankers, lawyers, activists, and criminals. And they may hold the answer to many of the most pressing international challenges of the 21st century.
Many thought that the new world order proclaimed by George Bush was the promise of 1945 fulfilled, a world in which international institutions, led by the United Nations, guaranteed international peace and security with the active support of the world's major powers. That world order is a chimera. Even as a liberal internationalist ideal, it is infeasible at best and dangerous at worst. It requires a centralized rule-making authority, a hierarchy of institutions, and universal membership. Equally to the point, efforts to create such an order have failed. The United Nations cannot function effectively independent of the major powers that compose it, nor will those nations cede their power and sovereignty to an international institution. Efforts to expand supranational authority, whether by the U.N. secretary-general's office, the European Commission, or the World Trade Organization (WTO), have consistently produced a backlash among member states.
The leading alternative to liberal internationalism is "the new medievalism," a back-to-the-future model of the 21st century. Where liberal internationalists see a need for international rules and institutions to solve states' problems, the new medievalists proclaim the end of the nation-state. Less hyperbolically, in her article, "Power Shift," in the January/February 1997 Foreign Affairs, Jessica T. Mathews describes a shift away from the state -- up, down, and sideways -- to supra-state, sub-state, and, above all, nonstate actors. These new players have multiple allegiances and global reach.
Mathews attributes this power shift to a change in the structure of organizations: from hierarchies to networks, from centralized compulsion to voluntary association. The engine of this transformation is the information technology revolution, a radically expanded communications capacity that empowers individuals and groups while diminishing traditional authority. The result is not world government, but global governance. If government denotes the formal exercise of power by established institutions, governance denotes cooperative problem-solving by a changing and often uncertain cast. The result is a world order in which global governance networks link Microsoft, the Roman Catholic Church, and Amnesty International to the European Union, the United Nations, and Catalonia.
No, I can't forget this evening Or your face as you were leaving But I guess that's just the way the story goes You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows Yes, it shows
No, I can't forget tomorrorow When I think of all my sorrows When I had you there but then I let you go And now it's only fair that I should let you know What you should know
I can't live if living is without you I can't live, I can't give any more Can't live if living is without you I can't give, I can't give any more
No, I can't forget this evening Or your face as you were leaving But I guess that's just the way the story goes You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows Yes, it shows
Can't live if living is without you I can't live, I can't give anymore I can't live if living is without you Can't live, I can't give anymore (Living is without you)
All alone at the end of the evening And the bright lights have faded to blue I was thinking 'bout a woman who might have Loved me and I never knew You know I've always been a dreamer (spent my life running 'round) And it's so hard to change (Can't seem to settle down) But the dreams I've seen lately Keep on turning out and burning out And turning out the same
So put me on a highway And show me a sign And take it to the limit one more time
You can spend all your time making money You can spend all your love making time If it all fell to pieces tomorrow Would you still be mine?
And when you're looking for freedom (Nobody seems to care) And you can' find the door (Can't find it anywhere) When there's nothing to believe in Still you're coming back, you're running back for more
So put me on a highway And show me a sign And take it to the limit one more time
Take it to the limit Take it to the limit Take it to the limit one more time
Legalizing Marijuana & Opium in The New World Order June 29, 2009 by ahrcanum 新世界秩序においてマリファナ&アヘンを公認します。 ahrcanumによる2009年6月29日 Just when I think American economists and politicians have the slightest clue about the most basic facts of world affairs, international trade, or the nature of money, I am reminded yet again of the hypocrisy of this financial and social abyss towar international trade, or the nature of money, I am reminded yet again of the hypocrisy of this financial and social abyss toward which America is heading in the pecking order of the New World Order.
The U.S. government owns the banks and the car industry. It sets the rules, makes them up as it goes along and has control over the money supply. It apparently has no oversight as the Fed in May tap danced around the missing NINE TRILLION DOLLARS that we could sure use about now.
米国政府は銀行と自動車工業を所有しています。 それは規則を定めて、それが一緒に行動する時に、それらを作り、マネーサプライをコントロールします。私達が今や確かに使うことができた9兆ドル、5月の連邦準備局が行方不明のもののまわりでタップダンスを踊った時に、それは見たところミスを全然持っていません。 Say nothing of main stream media whose focus on the deaths of Michael Jackson is a slap in the face. Icon, perhaps but a role model-hardly. What about all the dead soldiers from U.S. Wars and the one’s breathing in over 130 foreign countries? No views of them in the nightly news. マイケル・ジャクソンの死亡のフォーカスが顔面平手打ちを受ける本流メディアは何も言わないでくれ。アイコン、けれどもたぶん、 ほとんどモデルの役割 。 米国の戦争で死んだすべての兵士はどうですか?そして、兵士は130カ国を超える外国でどうですか?夜のニュースの中のそれらのビューがありません。
No worries though, Congressman Barney Frank (D-MA), Chairman of the Financial Services Committee, introduced legislation decriminalizing marijuana at the federal level again. If passed, the legislation would eliminate criminal penalties for possessing 100 grams or less of marijuana for personal use. Not to be outdone, San Francisco Assemblyman Tom Ammiano announced the introduction of a bill to tax and regulate marijuana like alcohol in the state of California. Yippee, another government owned industry! Obama just signed a huge tax increase on tobacco, I can only image the tax on a joint. しかし心配いりません、連邦議会議員バーニーフランク(DMA)、金融サービス委員会の議長は、再び連邦レベルでマリファナを解禁する法律を導入しました。通過されるならば、法律は個人的な利用のために100グラム以下のマリファナを所有するために刑事罰を除くでしょう。負けじとばかり、サンフランシスコの議員トムアミアーノは、カリフォルニア州でアルコールのようなマリファナに課税して、管理するために、徴税の導入を発表しました。ワーイ、もう一つの政府は、工業を所有しました!オバマはちょうどタバコの大きな増税に署名しました、私はジョイントに対する税金を想像することができるだけです。
“The Ammiano legislation would create a regulatory structure for that market similar to that for beer, wine and liquor: it would regulate taxed sales to adults while barring sales to or possession by those under 21. Estimated annual revenue from fees and sales and excise taxes under the proposed regulations runs into the billions of dollars. http://www.drugpolicy.org/news/pressroom/pressrelease/pr022309b.cfm
Maybe the U.S. Government can subsidizes pot growers like it does cotton, corn, soybean and other farming industries with my tax dollars. Maybe we can trade it on the commodities exchange and all the traders can get a little profit too. I wonder what currency it will trade- USD, Amero, Acmetal, Euro…? たぶん、それが私の税金ドルによって綿、トウモロコシ、大豆、および他の農業産業にするように、アメリカ政府はポット栽培者に助成金を支給するでしょう。 たぶん、私達は商品交換においてそれを売買することができて、すべてのトレーダーは小さい利益も得ることができます。 私は、それがどんな通貨を交換するかについてわかりません -USD Amero、Acmetal、ユーロ…?
The rest of the world is focusing on a new reserve currency in the New World Order and we focus on legalizing pot and subsidizing farmers in Afghanistan. As of the 111th Congress, Frank is also advocating a 25 percent reduction in the overall Military budget of the United States.
世界の残りは新世界秩序における新しい準備通貨に集中していて、私達は、ポットを公認し、アフガニスタンで農民に助成金を与えることに集中します。 現在、第111回目の議会、フランクはまた米国の全体の軍事予算の中の25パーセントの縮小を主張しています。 The Huffington Post http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/27/us-announces-shift-in-afg_n_221826.html says that “The United States has announced a new drug policy for opium-rich Afghanistan, saying it was phasing out funding for eradication programs while significantly increasing its funding for alternate crop and drug interdiction efforts. The War on drugs in the U.S has thousands in prison for drugs with our failing policies here, and we are expected to believe that sending millions there will be a deterrent? I still have that little island in the desert for sale if anyone is interested.
Last week when leaders of the so-called BRIC nations (Brazil, Russia, India and China) held their first summit. The BRIC countries comprise 15 per cent of the world economy, 40 per cent of global currency reserves and half the world’s population. The governments of BRIC and must be laughing like they were smoking marijuana and injecting heroin at America. Our elected officials focus on legalizing pot rather than be bothered with the cumbersome announcement from Russian President Dmitri Medvedev that the U.S dollar is on notice.
“The artificially maintained unipolar system”, he lectured, is based on “one big centre of consumption, financed by a growing deficit and … one formerly strong reserve currency.” At the root of the global financial crisis, he concluded, is that the US makes too little and spends too much. ”The summit must create the conditions for a fairer world order.” …The BRICs have put the US dollar on notice, and are already finding alternatives as a means of clearing accounts. Medvedev called for the IMF to include the Russian ruble and the Chinese yuan in the basket of currencies used to value its financial products. But that is just for starters. Chinese Central Bank governor Zhou Xiaochuan says the goal is now to create a reserve currency “that is disconnected from individual nations.”sourced at http://dprogram.net/2009/06/24/a-new-world-is-being-born-one-without-the-us-dollar-greasing-the-wheels-of-commerce/
China, known for it’s Human Rights violations says, “It is a common wish of people of all countries to solve the drug problem as soon as possible and to build this planet into a healthy, civilized, happy and beautiful world.” http://www.china-embassy.org/eng/zt/mzpkz/t36387.htm ”Those convicted of drug-related crimes in China face harsh penalties, in some cases capital punishment. Drug abusers and addicts must undergo rehabilitation at police-run facilities or labor camps. Reformers are attempting to introduce community-based treatment approaches to a system dominated by zero tolerance.”http://www.erowid.org/psychoactives/law/countries/law_china.shtml Apparently, the perceptions of a dead American dollar and a dead American soldier can be overcome by getting stoned on government subsidized Marijuana and Opium in The Obama Administration. Changes I don’t want to believe in….
