A cursory sweep of the Internet
reveals no shortage of sites dealing with one-world government and the
Club of Rome, two subjects of special concern to pro-life and pro-family
supporters.
The concern is based not
only on the effort to concentrate political and economic power in the hands
of small, wealthy elites, but also on the danger of the emergence of some
supra-national government superceding the laws, traditions and values of
countries such as Canada..
One such website, entitled
the Coming of One-World Government, refers to a report published by the
Club of Rome which calls for the build-up of global government at the expense
of national legitimacy.
“For the uninformed,” the
site reads, “the Club of Rome is an offshoot of the Bildebergers through
one Aurelio Peccei (now deceased), a prominent Italian industrialist with
close ties to the Fiat and Olivetti corporations. Like the Bildebergers,
the Club of Rome draws a high percentage of its members from the Council
on Foreign Relations (CFR). The Club of Rome has ben assigned the task
of overseeing the regionalization and unification of the entire world,
wherein all nations of the world will give up their sovereignty in favor
of a global government.”
Critics of the Club of Rome
believe it has divided countries into ten regions or “kingdoms.” It is
believed these regions will one day elect a chief representative who will
report to the world government of the day.
“The primary issue,” the
critical report says, “is a one-world government has been officially planned
and will be fully implemented in the near future.” Surprisingly, Canada,
which has been placed in Region 1 with the United States, is said to have
guaranteed its full participation, regardless of public support or awareness.
A second website established
by the Club of Rome itself offers a wealth of positive-sounding details.
It says the Club was established in 1968 to promote greater efforts at
international co-operation.
“So far, the efforts to promote
the growing globalization have always been perceived in a negative light,
as an unfortunate consequence of a crisis of civilization,” the Club says.
“We strongly feel the need for a thorough overhaul of democracy and a new
economic system.”
