According to Henry Kissinger, the various political and economic crises currently conflicting the world offer President-elect Barack Obama an opportunity to create a "new world order." That's what the former Secretary of State told CNBC's Mark Haines in a January 5 interview from the busy floor of the New York Stock Exchange.

"What do you think the most important thing is for Barack Obama?" Haines asked. "... If you had to say, this is going to be the country, or the conflict, or the place that will define the Obama administration, what would it be?" Kissinger replied: "The President-elect is coming into office at a moment when there are upheavals in many part of the world simultaneously. You have India-Pakistan. You have, ah, a jihadist movement."

"But," continued Kissinger, "he can give new impetus to American foreign policy ... I think that his task will be to develop an overall strategy for America in this period, when really a 'new world order' can be created. It's a great opportunity. It isn't such a crisis."

Haines did not ask Dr. Kissinger to explain what he meant by creating a new world order, nor did he or any of his colleagues in the major U.S. media report on the fact that Kissinger was present at the New York Stock Exchange that morning to celebrate a key milestone in the planned move toward the same new world order. To find out why the gravely voiced eminence gries of the American Establishment was visiting the Wall Street hub of world capitalism one had to turn, paradoxically, to the media mouthpieces of Communist China.

Beijing's Xinhua News Agency, for instance, reported that Kissinger was there as the honored guest of the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations for a ceremony marking the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the United States and China. Dr. Kissinger, of course, was the key figure in that sea-change event, engaging in clandestine trips to Beijing for President Richard Nixon, as well as for his mentor, David Rockefeller, then president of the Chase Manhattan Bank as well as chairman of the powerful Council on Foreign Relations and Trilateral Commission.  "[At that time] if anyone had told me that I would celebrate an event about the People's Republic of China on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, I would think that could be inconceivable," Kissinger told the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations event attendees. The Xinhua story reported:

According to the renowned strategist, the world has entered an era in which leaders must "keep an eye on the opportunities they have for cooperation." "They should realize that they for the first time in the history can deal with issues on global bases, and not just on their national bases, so this is a great opportunity for them," he explained.

For example, he said, the United States and China now have "a common opportunity because the international economic system has to be rebuilt," and "it can not be done unless the United States and China agree on the agenda of direction."

"There were so many political crises in the world, which require cooperation, and I believe this really can be a beginning of a new era of our relationship," he added.

The world also has many other problems that are "more subtle, more complicated and less direct," and they require U.S.-China cooperation in many ways, Kissinger noted.

"What is needed is a continued development by both leaderships of methods of cooperating and solving the world's problems," he stressed.

What Mr. Kissinger is describing here in somewhat veiled terms is something he and his confreres at the Council on Foreign Relations and Trilateral Commission refer to as the new-world-order process of "convergence": the gradual melding together of the various regions and political-economic systems of the world into a world government.

Kissinger puts more specific flesh on the new world order/convergence skeleton in a December 16, 2008 interview with PBS's Charlie Rose, explaining that "crises" such as global terrorism, global economic upheaval, and global environmental deterioration will require moving beyond the nation state and national sovereignty.

Explicit appeals by high-powered new-world-order advocates for world government are coming fast and furious. As we noted last month (here and here) a revealing piece by Gideon Rachman in the Financial Times of London seemed to be signaling that we can expect to see an avalanche of calls by globalist elites for world government to save us, as Kissinger puts it, from the terrifying "abyss" of economic and political turmoil that is supposedly insoluble under our current system of independent nation states.

Kissinger Was The First to Promote "First Strike" Offensive Wars and is a Global Socialist Neocons and Liberal Democrats Are All Members of the Globalist CFR I think the writer need to do some research on the "think tank" Council on Foreign Relations, who is behind both the liberal Democrats and Neocon's philosophies. They are the ones in conjunction with the U.N. for the New World Order and global socialism. Obama and Biden are it's newest electees to that club, that is why policy rarely changes with a change of administration. Because they are all members of the same club. The same bankers which fund the Federal Reserve also fund the CFR. So it is the international bankers who are calling the shots in foreign and domestic policies, with their puppet political appointees. This has been going on since Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act. No money is made in peace, only in war. Check out the members of this organization, and match them against Obama's new cabinet members. Six of the top eleven are members. There will be no change, the agenda is simply going to accelerate.

	Jasper is an authority on this subject Linda, I appreciate your enthusiasm but William F. Jasper is an authority on this subject. He has researched and written about it extensively for decades. Most of what you described was pioneered by JBS. You should check out some of Mr. Jasper's books: The United Nations Exposed Global Tyranny-Step by Step: The United Nations and the Emerging New World Order

Bill Jasper is the worlds most qualified expert on the CFR. I laughed when I saw the suggestion that Bill study the CFR. He was writing exhaustive articles, which became authoritative books on this subject two and three decades ago. Do a simple search on this site for "CFR" and you'll find 20+ articles on this topic and many other related topics. Try JBS.org and you'll find the leading organizational authority on these topics.

	That he has written about the subject for years doesnot make him God This article is all true but doesnot tell you THE REST OF THE STORY. We are on the verge of seeing the American Union and the AMERO introduced and also yes a WORLD government in very short order maybe the next 90 days.

The Time Has Come To Unite! Part 1 Greetings, I have come to the realization that, all that know about the New World Order that come to different forums to leave messages and comments about current news, have no unity and definite purpose and we sit and type as nothing gets done. The overwhelming consensus is that there is nothing we can do about it. So we go about our everyday lives as we stock up on food, water and ammo for the fateful day the New World Order becomes a reality. The reason for this in my opinion is that people do not know what to do or simply do not know where to get started. This is occurring because our focus is pulled in to many directions. Everything and I mean absolutely everything we could possibly write about, will always come back to the same conclusion and that is that we want to be free. Continue to part 2

... Part 4 Time is running out folks. If we stand united for freedom it doesn't matter what your religion, culture, race, gender, age or any other ideal that separates us may be. We can only stop the New World Order if we stand together. Organizations are working together and masses of people are being united as we speak. I feel we may need to take this message to the streets but be warned that violent protests will be met with Martial Law. We must be strategic in our planning. Here’s some food for thought. Maybe every high ranking official gets a telephone call at exactly the same time from people just like you coordinating their efforts around the globe. Most public parks do not require permits to gather. Who could stop you and a few thousand of your friends from walking in a public park. Last I checked it is not against the law if you happen to be carrying around a sign while doing so. Maybe several people alert the associated press beforehand (anonymously of course) so we are all leaders of any gathering keeping safety a priority and no one to point a finger at but the general public themselves. The presence will be incredible. The media will catch wind of the gathering just by the sheer numbers across the globe that show up! Continue to part 5 (last part)

... Part 5 This in itself may not be the entire solution but guaranteed it will wake everybody up and bide us some time to continue growing in numbers and strategically defeating the elite and there evil plans to destroy 80-90% of the world population. Their “great” plan as spelled out on the Georgia Guidestones will be a thing of the past. Please do yourself a favor and visit warnthepeople.org. It appears to be a fairly new site but they have the right idea to unite people in a way that makes sense and a focus and determination to stop the suffering around the world. We need people that are tired of waiting for somebody else to do something. This is your calling, there is no future unless you decide to stand up for it. No matter what you may be thinking I want everyone who reads this to always remember that: Good Is Supposed To Triumph Over Evil
