1984 -- The Power to Lead
is published. Author James McGregor Burns admits:
"The framers of the U.S. constitution
have simply been too shrewd for us. The have outwitted us.
They designed separate institutions that cannot be unified
by mechanical linkages, frail bridges, tinkering. If we are
to 'turn the Founders upside down' -- we must directly
confront the constitutional structure they erected."
1985 -- Norman Cousins, the
honorary chairman of Planetary Citizens for the World We
Chose, is quoted in
Human Events:
"World government is coming, in fact, it
is inevitable. No arguments for or against it can change
that fact."
Cousins was also president of the World
Federalist Association, an affiliate of the World
Association for World Federation (WAWF), headquartered in
Amsterdam. WAWF is a leading force for world federal
government and is accredited by the U.N. as a
Non-Governmental Organization.
1987 -- The Secret Constitution
and the Need for Constitutional Change is sponsored in
part by the Rockefeller Foundation. Some thoughts of author
Arthur S. Miller are:
"...a pervasive system of thought control
exists in the United States...the citizenry is indoctrinated
by employment of the mass media and the system of public
education...people are told what to think about...the old
order is crumbling... Nationalism should be seen as a
dangerous social disease...A new vision is required to plan
and manage the future, a global vision that will transcend
national boundaries and eliminate the poison of
nationalistic solutions...a new Constitution is
necessary."
1988 -- Former Under-secretary of
State and CFR member George Ball in a January 24 interview
in the New York Times says:
"The Cold War should no longer be the
kind of obsessive concern that it is. Neither side is going
to attack the other deliberately...If we could
internationalize by using the U.N. in conjunction with the
Soviet Union, because we now no longer have to fear, in most
cases, a Soviet veto, then we could begin to transform the
shape of the world and might get the U.N. back to doing
something useful...Sooner or later we are going to have to
face restructuring our institutions so that they are not
confined merely to the nation-states. Start first on a
regional and ultimately you could move to a world basis."
December 7, 1988 -- In an address
to the U.N., Mikhail Gorbachev calls for mutual consensus:
"World progress is only possible through
a search for universal human consensus as we move forward to
a new world order."

1989 -- Carl Bernstein's (Woodward
and Bernstein of Watergate fame) book Loyalties: A Son's
Memoir is published. His father and mother had been
members of the Communist party. Bernstein's father tells his
son about the book:
"You're going to prove [Sen. Joseph]
McCarthy was right, because all he was saying is that the
system was loaded with Communists. And he was right...I'm
worried about the kind of book you're going to write and
about cleaning up McCarthy. The problem is that everybody
said he was a liar; you're saying he was right...I agree
that the Party was a force in the country."
November
9, 1989 -- The
much hated Berlin Wall comes tumbling down, completing the
deliberate dissolution of the U.S.S.R. and of Communism.

1990 -- The World Federalist
Association faults the American press. Writing in their
Summer/Fall newsletter, Deputy Director Eric Cox describes
world events over the past year or two and declares:
"It's sad but true that the slow-witted
American press has not grasped the significance of most of
these developments. But most federalists know what is
happening...And they are not frightened by the old bug-a-boo
of sovereignty."

New World Order, Mr. Bush says:

new world order can emerge in which the nations
of the world, east and west, north and south, can prosper
and live in harmony.... Today the new world is
struggling to be born."
September 25, 1990 -- In an
address to the U.N., Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard

by the Gulf Crisis.

begin a journey into a... new age."

Baden, Germany. The Bilderbergers also exert considerable
clout in determining the foreign policies of their
respective governments.
July, 1991 -- The Southeastern

Division, and a former Secretary General of International
Planned Parenthood.
Late July, 1991 -- On a Cable News
Network program, CFR member and former CIA director
Stansfield Turner (Rhodes scholar), when asked about Iraq,
responded:
"We have a much bigger objective. We've
got to look at the long run here. This is an example -- the
situation between the United Nations and Iraq -- where the
United Nations is deliberately intruding into the
sovereignty of a sovereign nation...Now this is a marvelous
precedent (to be used in) all countries of the world..."
October 29, 1991 -- David
Funderburk, former U. S. Ambassador to Romania, tells a
North Carolina audience:
"George Bush has been surrounding himself
with people who believe in one-world government. They
believe that the Soviet system and the American system are
converging."
The vehicle to bring this about, said
Funderburk, is the United Nations, "the majority of whose
166 member states are socialist, atheist, and
anti-American." Funderburk served as ambassador in Bucharest
from 1981 to 1985, when he resigned in frustration over U.S.
support of the oppressive regime of the late Rumanian
dictator, Nicolae Ceausescu.
October 30, 1991: -- President

towards a new era, a new age... We see both in our
country and elsewhere...ghosts of the old thinking...When we
rid ourselves of their presence, we will be better able to
move toward a new world order... relying on the
relevant mechanisms of the United Nations."

Lenskaya, Counsellor to the Minister of Education of Russia,
delivers the keynote address for a program titled,
Education for a New World Order.
1992 -- The Twilight of
Sovereignty by CFR member (and former Citicorp Chairman)

...compromises of national sovereignty... There is no
escaping the system."
1992 -- The United Nations
Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) Earth
Summit takes place in Rio de Janeiro this year, headed by
Conference Secretary-General Maurice Strong. The main
products of this summit are the Biodiversity Treaty and
Agenda 21, which the U.S. hesitates to sign because of
opposition at home due to the threat to sovereignty and
economics. The summit says the first world's wealth must be
transferred to the third world.
July 20, 1992 -- TIME magazine
publishes The Birth of the Global Nation by Strobe
Talbott, Rhodes Scholar, roommate of Bill Clinton at Oxford
University, CFR Director, and Trilateralist, in which he
writes:
"All countries are basically social
arrangements... No matter how permanent or even sacred they
may seem at any one time, in fact they are all artificial
and temporary... Perhaps national sovereignty wasn't such a
great idea after all... But it has taken the events in our
own wondrous and terrible century to clinch the case for
world government."
As an editor of Time, Talbott defended
Clinton during his presidential campaign. He was appointed
by President Clinton as the number two person at the State
Department behind Secretary of State Warren Christopher,
former Trilateralist and former CFR Vice-Chairman and
Director. Talbott was confirmed by about two-thirds of the
U.S. Senate despite his statement about the unimportance of
national sovereignty.
September 29, 1992 -- At a town
hall meeting in Los Angeles, Trilateralist and former CFR
president Winston Lord delivers a speech titled
Changing Our Ways: America and the New World, in

"To a certain extent, we are going to
have to yield some of our sovereignty, which will be
controversial at home... [Under] the North American Free
Trade Agreement (NAFTA)... some Americans are going to be
hurt as low-wage jobs are taken away."
Lord became an Assistant Secretary of
State in the Clinton administration.
Winter, 1992-93 -- The CFR's
Foreign Affairs publishes Empowering the United
Nations by U.N. Secretary General Boutros-Boutros Ghali,
who asserts:
"It is undeniable that the centuries-old
doctrine of absolute and exclusive sovereignty no longer
stands... Underlying the rights of the individual and the
rights of peoples is a dimension of universal sovereignty
that resides in all humanity... It is a sense that
increasingly finds expression in the gradual expansion of
international law... In this setting the significance of the
United Nations should be evident and accepted."
December 31, 1992
-- Formation of Western Europe as the first nation to be
formed in the global 10-Nation Reorganization Plan.
1993 -- Strobe Talbott receives
the Norman Cousins Global Governance Award for his 1992 TIME
article, The Birth of the Global Nation and in
appreciation for what he has done "for the cause of global
governance." President Clinton writes a letter of
congratulation which states:
"Norman Cousins worked for world peace
and world government... Strobe Talbott's lifetime
achievements as a voice for global harmony have earned him
this recognition... He will be a worthy recipient of the
Norman Cousins Global Governance Award. Best wishes... for
future success."
Not only does President Clinton use the
specific term, "world government," but he also expressly
wishes the WFA "future success" in pursuing world federal
government. Talbott proudly accepts the award, but says the
WFA should have given it to the other nominee, Mikhail
Gorbachev.
April 19, 1993
-- Waco conflagration.
July 18, 1993 -- CFR member and
Trilateralist Henry Kissinger writes in the Los Angeles
Times concerning NAFTA:
"What Congress will have before it is not
a conventional trade agreement but the architecture of a new
international system... a first step toward a new world
order."
August 23, 1993 -- Christopher
Hitchens, Socialist friend of Bill Clinton when he was at
Oxford University, says in a C-Span interview:
"...it is, of course the case that there
is a ruling class in this country, and that it has allies
internationally."
October 30, 1993 -- Washington
Post ombudsman Richard Harwood does an op-ed piece about the
role of the CFR's media members:
"Their membership is an acknowledgment of
their ascension into the American ruling class [where] they
do not merely analyze and interpret foreign policy for the
United States; they help make it."
January/February, 1994 -- The
CFR's Foreign Affairs prints an opening article by
CFR Senior Fellow Michael Clough in which he writes that the
"Wise Men" (e.g. Paul Nitze, Dean Acheson, George Kennan,
and John J. McCloy) have:
"assiduously guarded it [American foreign
policy] for the past 50 years...They ascended to power
during World War II...This was as it should be. National
security and the national interest, they argued must
transcend the special interests and passions of the people
who make up America... How was this small band of
Atlantic-minded internationalists able to triumph?...
Eastern internationalists were able to shape and staff the
burgeoning foreign policy institutions... As long as the
Cold War endured and nuclear Armageddon seemed only a
missile away, the public was willing to tolerate such an
undemocratic foreign policy making system."
1995 -- The State of the World
Forum took place in the fall of this year, sponsored by
the Gorbachev Foundation located at the Presidio in San
Francisco. Foundation President Jim Garrison chairs the
meeting of who's-whos from around the world including
Margaret Thatcher, Maurice Strong, George Bush, Mikhail
Gorbachev and others. Conversation centers around the
oneness of mankind and the coming global government.
However, the term "global governance" is now used in place
of "new world order" since the latter has become a
political liability, being a lightning rod for opponents of
global government.
April 19, 1995
-- Oklahoma City bombing of the Federal Murrah Building.
1996 -- The United Nations
420-page report Our Global Neighborhood is published.
