FINAL WARNING: A History of the New World Order

FINAL WARNING: Introduction

Foreign Affairs (pg. 558): “In short, the ‘house of world order’ will have

to be built from the bottom up rather than from the top down. It will

look like a great ‘booming, buzzing confusion,’ to use William James’

famous description of reality, but an end run around national

sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more than

the old fashioned frontal assault.”

Richard A. Falk, wrote in his article “Toward a New World Order:

Modest Methods and Drastic Visions” (from the 1975 book On the

Creation of a Just World Order): “The existing order is breaking down

at a very rapid rate, and the main uncertainty is whether mankind can

created by the American people.”

In an October, 1975 speech to the General Assembly of the United

Nations, Henry Kissinger said: “My country’s history, Mr. President,

tells us that it is possible to fashion unity while cherishing diversity,

that common action is possible despite the variety of races, interests,

and beliefs we see here in this chamber. Progress and peace and

justice are attainable. So we say to all peoples and governments: Let

us fashion together a new world order.”

During the 1976 Presidential campaign, Jimmy Carter said: “We must

replace balance of power politics with world order politics.” In a

February 14, 1977 speech, Carter said: “I want to assure you that the
