For now.<\/p>\n<p>This really does raise a serious issue: How big of a threat are these global government institutions?<\/p>\n<p>Dreamy, dopey, and often scary intellectuals have dreamed of global government for centuries. If you are rich enough and smart enough, the idea seems to be the perennial temptation. The list of advocates includes people who otherwise have made notable contributions: Albert Einstein, Isaac Asimov, Walter Cronkite, Buckminster Fuller, and many others.<\/p>\n<div class=\"shortcode\">\n<div id=\"in_article_related_stories\" class=\"border-comp-divider mb-4 mr-4 w-full max-w-[500px] border px-5 py-4 text-[16px] leading-[20px] text-[#262626] print:hidden md:float-left\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Often the dream comes alive following huge upheavals such as war and depression. Or a pandemic period such as the one we\u2019ve just gone through. The use of \u201cdisinformation\u201d as a cross-border test case of global government power is designed to deploy a new strategy of governance in general, one that disregards national control in favor of global control.<\/p>\n<p>That has always been the dream. In history, for example, following the Great War, we saw the creation of the League of Nations, which was a forerunner to the United Nations, at the urging of President Woodrow Wilson. Both were seen by the intellectual class as necessary building blocks for what they really wanted, which was a binding world state.<\/p>\n<p>This is not a conspiracy theory.
