The New World Order
v. Nationalism

The term NEW WORLD ORDER is commonly used but seldom defined. The essence of the NEW WORLD ORDER is that traditional institutions of family, clan, church and nation will be destroyed and replaced by a global government having direct governance and control over the individual. The New World Order offers all the people in the world materialistic necessities - food and shelter, medical care, peace and public order, as well as wish-fulfillment, sexual license and recreational fantasy. In exchange, individuals will be required to surrender their natural rights to pursue marriage, family, religious, ethnic and national associations.

The emerging threat to the NEW WORLD ORDER is NATIONALISM. Often called "Ultra-Nationalism" by its detractors, nationalism is a conscious repudiation of the NEW WORLD ORDER and a re-assertion of each nation's sovereignty over international organizations such as the United Nations. Nationalism includes the re-affirmation of each nation's ethnic, cultural and religious identity. The religion of the nationalist movement is Christianity. The nationalist movement is represented by LePen in France, the Christian Democratic Party in Germany, Zhirinovsky in Russia, Haider in Austria, Buchanan in the United States, Day in Canada, and Tudor in Romania, to name but a few.

Pope John Paul II has often sided with Nationalists against the New World Order. On April 27, 2001, the Pope stated that globalization must not be a process whereby "a wealthy elite controls... resources to the detriment of the majority," and condemned the "ethics" of globalization as "bearing the stamp of utilitarianism." While the Pope has always insisted that immigrants be treated fairly as individuals, he has also cautioned that immigration must not be used to disrupt each nation's "cultural equilibrium." The Pope warmly received Joerg Haider and his gift of a Carinthian Christmas tree when Haider visited the Vatican for Christmas, 2000 A.D.

Unsurprisingly, the media failed to publicize these pronouncements and actions by John Paul II, preferring instead to dwell on its favorite topic: "When will John Paul II die, and will a "liberal" succeed him?"

The conflict between the NEW WORLD ORDER and NATIONALISM is becoming the most salient struggle of the twenty-first century. In Britain, Margaret Thatcher has again come to the fore of controversy, championing the cause of "Euroskeptics" and criticizing Tony Blair and the Labour Party for selling out Britain's sovereignty. In Germany, the Christian Democratic party recently proposed quotas on immigration and demanded that immigrants conform to "the values of our Christian culture." In Italy, Silvio Berlusconi and Umberto Bossi prevailed in recent elections on a platform of limiting immigration and decentralizing government power.

In the United States, our "one party" system and media conglomerates have largely succeeded in suppressing dissent from the NEW WORLD ORDER. It was last threatened by Mr. Buchanan's game challenge in 1996.
