The Cost of Globalisationby Trend Authority on 13 Nov 2011 permalink
To forfeit your sovereignty as a nation is something people used to go to war about. Today it is happening all around the world in nibble-sized bites. People don't even realise we have given away our independence.
The deception is quite subtle. Inflation erodes our purchasing power. Workers demand higher wages. Factories close down. Manufacturing goes overseas. Foreign labour is cheap and abundant. We import what we used to make ourselves. Globalisation is not just an economic issue. Have you noticed the trend to amalgamate all religions into one? If you don't stand for something, you will accept anything. People are becoming worn-out by perpetual tensions and may give up their traditional values for the sake of keeping the peace. But you would not really call that peace - more like bullying, intimidation, pressure, power play, etc... There has been a massive influx of migration into the western world. The argument is that since our birth rate is so low that we face extinction in the next 20 years, governments have resolve to borrow new taxpayers from overseas to pay for our looming old age pensions. Never mind what sort of work they will find when they get here. Labour governments indulge in a massive civil service. Or they might re-create a new cottage industry to cater for their own traditional needs. There is a booming market for Islamic clothing in Britain. In turn this creates a melting pot of civilizations. You can travel the whole world without leaving your home city. Restaurants of all persuasions will train you to foreign tastes and exotic flavours. Unheard of music permeates through our suburbs. Sport and art are used to mend disparate cultures. The world soccer cup in South Africa and the Commonwealth Games in India have showcased how nations will live together in harmony in the new world order. The volcanic eruption in Iceland which closed all of Europe's airspace has demonstrated what an intertwined economy we live in. Because certain parts made in Ireland were unavailable the Nissan car plant in Japan stopped to a standstill. This is the great global village we were promised. This is even so visible on the internet where one player in a given market can quickly rise to prominence at the expense of everyone else in that field. We know we should not trust politicians - yet their agendas go unchecked. You would think different interests would counter-balance each other yet they all seem to pull in the same direction - the direction where we don't want to go. You are witnessing the birth pains of a new civilization, a new world order. When you finally see what it is, I don't think you're going to like it - but it will be too late.
