It looks indeed like a New World Order or something very similar is in the works. But Brown has good intentions, check it out.

UK's Brown: Now is the time to build global society

07:03 PM EST


LONDON (Reuters) - The international financial crisis has given world leaders a unique opportunity to create a truly global society, Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown will say in a keynote foreign policy speech on Monday.

In his annual speech at the Lord Mayor's Banquet, Brown -- who has spearheaded calls for the reform of international financial institutions -- will say Britain, the United States and Europe are key to forging a new world order.

"The alliance between Britain and the U.S. -- and more broadly between Europe and the U.S. -- can and must provide leadership, not in order to make the rules ourselves, but to lead the global effort to build a stronger and more just international order," an excerpt from the speech says.

Brown and other leaders meet in Washington next weekend to discuss longer term solutions for dealing with economic issues following a series of coordinated moves on interest rates and to recapitalize banks in the wake of the financial crisis.

"Uniquely in this global age, it is now in our power to come together so that 2008 is remembered not just for the failure of a financial crash that engulfed the world but for the resilience and optimism with which we faced the storm, endured it and prevailed," Brown will say in his speech on Monday evening.

"...And if we learn from our experience of turning unity of purpose into unity of action, we can together seize this moment of change in our world to create a truly global society."

According to a summary of the speech released by his office, Brown will set out five great challenges the world faces.

These are: terrorism and extremism and the need to reassert faith in democracy; the global economy; climate change; conflict and mechanisms for rebuilding states after conflict; and meeting goals on tackling poverty and disease.

Brown will also identify five stages for tackling the economy, starting with recapitalizing banks so they can resume lending to families and businesses, and better international co-ordination of fiscal and monetary policy.

He also wants immediate action to stop the spread of the financial crisis to middle-income countries, with a new facility for the International Monetary Fund, and agreement on a global trade deal, as well as reform of the global financial system.

"My message is that we must be: internationalist not protectionist; interventionist not neutral; progressive not reactive; and forward looking not frozen by events. We can seize the moment and in doing so build a truly global society."

Oh but Christians are just "alarmists" we're "crazy" we spread "fear"  "the Bible is just fiction, fairy tales" they say...yeah, keep on believing that...they're about to find out we've known what we were talking about all along...people get ready...the mark of the beast isn't far off.

"He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666" (Revelation 13:16-18).

Interesting. I don't find this to be a religious event either. It's a reminder that living beyond your means will eventually catch up to you.... People are naive if they thought the financial markets would not be affected by greed and corruption. I refuse to stand still and I find this a time for all the world to come together and build on the financial infrastructure of our countries. Ignoring the "beast" ie "debt" is not the answer, all leaders and citizens must participate in the changes to come..... New World Order. Great post Jeanie!

America is no longer the "super power" that it once was.  We have put ourselves into so much debt because of various situations.  We have caused a lot of countries to despise us because of our actions.  This may put us back on the right track.
