    Why a One World Government makes perfect sense - The Concept of a Pan-World - Fair World Order
    One of the things I find reassuring today is the fact that one meets more and more people who have achieved a certain degree of wisdom. Yes, even scientists and materialists are beginning to be a little more prudent, a little more reasonable.

    Should we really expect anything better of them?

    At a July hearing, the State Department official overseeing the construction assured Congress that the project was “on schedule and on budget” and bragged about the “extremely high quality of construction.” Yet the cost of the (…)

    “The Bush administration may be highlighting accusations that the Iranian government is behind attacks in Iraq in order to strengthen its hand in preparing for military strikes on Iran, according to a leading British think-tank.”
    This analysis suggesting that the US is using Iran as a scapegoat for it’s failures in Iraq came as Iran stated that it would not succumb to “enemy” efforts to halt its nuclear program, while the US deployed its armada in the Persian Gulf earlier this year. (…)

    .....The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), mandated (…)
