Do we not yet REALLY understand what is going on?
NATIONS are becoming outdated.
The MASTERS are now creating a one world government.
NATIONS are going the same way MONARCHIES went.
The nation state concept is really only about 500 years old.
And the nation state world we so often think was a thing that existed forever no longer REALLY makes sense in the world that we are becoming.
Now I happen to still be a nationalist, but I can certainly see the writing on the wall.
By the year 2100, NATIONS will have about as much relevance to most of us as STATES currently have here in the USA.
They will continue to exist but they will NOT be calling the shots about anything that truly matters.
Here's more of that handwriting:
a.Strobe Talbot, president of the Brookings Institution, has written that he welcomed super-national political authority, saying "In the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. National sovereignty wasn't such a great idea after all."
b.Harold Koh, chief legal adviser of the State Department, and the legal authority of the government on foreign legal policy, states that the Supreme Court "must play a key role in coordinating U.S. domestic constitutional rules with rules of foreign and international law," The only way for the Supreme Court to do that "coordinating" is to subordinate the real American Constitution to ever-evolving rules of foreign and international law.
c.Richard Haass, Republican, president of the Council on Foreign Relations states must be prepared to cede some sovereignty to world bodies if the international system is to function . sovereignty must be redefined if states are to cope with globalization.
d. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg defended the use of foreign law by American judges,...American hostility to the consideration of foreign law, she said, is a passing phase. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/12/us/12ginsburg.html
