Every regular television news watcher has
heard the expression "New World Order" often enough now to be familiar
with it. George Bush really popularised the expression during the last
two years of his administration. Prior to that one heard only occasional
veiled references to it, but as Mr. Bush ordered wave after wave of bombers
over Iraq to pound Baghdad into rubble and attempted to kill Iraq's President
with "smart" bombs, he spoke repeatedly of the need to punish those who
tried to stand in the way of the New World Order.
Bill Clinton has used the expression even
more freely: he has referred to the New World Order in connection with
his futile efforts to assassinate Somalia's uppity warlord Mohammed Aidid,
with his support of Russia's current clown prince Boris Yeltsin, and, most
recently, with his campaign to push the North American Free Trade Agreement
(NAFTA) through the Congress. Probably most of you remember Mr Clinton
talking on television about NAFTA being essential for the New World Order
and for equality in the world.
Most people who have become familiar with
the term assume that it is merely an abstraction: a convenient label for
referring, in a general, loose sort of way, to the reordering of international
power relationships which has been going on ever since the Second World
War -- and especially since the collapse of the Soviet Empire at the beginning
of this decade.
Actually, for the initiated, the New World
Order has a much more specific and concrete meaning. In brief, it is a
utopian system in which the U.S. economy (along with the economy of every
other nation) will be "globalised"; in which the wage levels of U.S. and
European workers will be brought down to those of workers in the Third
World; in which national boundaries will for all practical purposes cease
to exist; in which an increased flow of Third World immigrants into the
United States and Europe will have produced a non-White majority everywhere
in the formerly White areas of the world; in which an elite consisting
of international financiers and the masters of the mass media will call
the shots; and in which so-called "peace keeping" forces from the United
Nations will be used to keep anyone from opting out of the system.
This particular scheme for world rule
has very deep historical roots. Tracing those roots is fascinating, but
I won't have time for that on this program today. If you want to study
the historical details, then you should read my article on the New World
Order in the current issue of National Vanguard magazine, which is available
from the producer of this program.
I'll simply say today that the New World
Order conspiracy had its origins in a series of international Zionist conferences
held around the beginning of this century. It picked up steam during the
First World War and really began acquiring concrete substance with the
formation of a number of organisations in the period immediately after
that war, the foremost of which was the Council on Foreign Relations. By
the end of the Second World War the New World Order planners formed a virtual
ruling class in America with total control of U.S. foreign policy and also
a growing power to mould domestic policy to suit their internationalist
aims. What these people understood, long before anyone else did, is the
potential power of the mass media. They understood what enormous, hidden
political power could be wielded in an age of mass democracy by a tiny
group of well-organised people who could manipulate public opinion by controlling
the mass media.
It should be noted that the New World
Order booster club has developed a rather diverse membership as its schemes
have matured. There are, of course, the original, power-hungry conspirators,
who believe that their god intended for them to rule the world, and there
are the cynical politicians of the Bush/Clinton stripe who go along with
the conspirators, hoping to receive a few choice scraps from their table.
Then there are the crazies: the homosexuals
and feminists, for example, who see in the New World Order the antithesis
of the heterosexual, patriarchal world they hate with such insane fervour.
Along with these are the lunatic egalitarians, which are hell-bent on "equalising"
everyone.
A substantial portion of the membership
consists of a rabble of academics and literatii who simply want to be fashionable;
they would as enthusiastically support any other intellectual fashion possessing
as large and skilful a press claque.
Besides all of these, however, there are
many people on the New World Order bandwagon today for more or less benign
reasons. The world population really is far too large. The ongoing destruction
of the global ecosystem really is unacceptable. Something must be done
-- and soon. Many of those who recognise these facts are neither power-hungry
cynics nor deranged haters nor even fashion-conscious eggheads, but instead
are sane, principled men who simply do not have the moral courage to deal
in a forthright way with the population explosion in the non-White world
and with a number of other pressing demographic and ecological problems.
They have opted for what seems to them the only solution for halting the
self-destruction of the world, which has a sufficiently powerful advocacy
group behind it to be feasible. They really believe that under the New
World Order Kenyans no longer will be permitted to machine-gun herds of
elephants from helicopters in order to collect their tusks, Brazilians
no longer will be permitted to destroy the rain forests with chainsaws
and flame-throwers, and Haitians will be forced to use condoms. Even White
Americans will be forced to curb their wasteful habits.
The New World Order schemers have played
a very significant role in bringing about many social and economic changes
in America, and I could spend a lot more time than we have today talking
about these changes--and why the Internationalists wanted them. If you
want to understand that part of the scheme you'll just have to read my
article in the current issue of National Vanguard magazine. Today I must
limit myself to just one New World Order policy, and that's so-called "free"
trade and what that policy means for America.
Our first really notable experience with
"free" trade in the post-Second World War period was with Japan. A few
years after the war Japanese cameras began displacing U.S.-made cameras
from stores in the United States, until today they totally dominate the
market: Nikon, Canon, Minolta, Pentax, Olympus, Fuji -- they're all Japanese.
The only two American brands left are Polaroid and Kodak. If you'll go
into a camera store and look carefully at the Polaroid and Kodak cameras
on display, however, you'll discover that most of them were actually manufactured
in Japan or elsewhere, not in the United States.
After succeeding in establishing a virtual
camera monopoly the Japanese began moving into the consumer electronics
business: portable radios, television receivers, VCRs, pocket calculators,
microwave ovens, hi-fi tuners and amplifiers, etc. Within two decades they
virtually wiped out domestic production. The few U.S. consumer electronics
companies still surviving have their products made in Asia and then put
their names on them and bring them into this country to sell them.
The average American saw nothing amiss
with this; indeed, he regarded it as a boon. More products were available
to him, at lower prices, than there would have been if trade barriers had
kept out Japanese products. The unhappy voices of the few hundred thousand
Americans who had been employed in the camera and consumer electronics
industries were drowned out by those of millions of happy consumers. When
Japanese automobiles began appearing on American streets in large numbers
in the 1970s, there was more of a reaction. The unionised automobile and
steelworkers were able to make their voices heard. They smashed Japanese
cars with sledgehammers in publicity stunts designed to win sympathy for
their plight. Even the politicians who had been bought by the internationalists
got into the act: worried by the threat of losing union votes, they put
on serious faces and talked to the television cameras about limiting the
number of Japanese cars which could be brought into the country. The percentage
of Hondas, Toyotas, Subarus, Nissans, and other Japanese vehicles sold
in America eventually stopped rising. General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler
pulled in their belts, fired a few hundred thousand American workers, and
announced that they would survive. Although the U.S. steel-making industry
was hit hard and was forced to close dozens of plants, it also managed
to hang onto life.
All was not quite as it seemed, however.
Americans were reassured by the sight of new Fords, Chevrolets, and Dodges
on their highways, but in many cases not much more than the name was actually
American. The Chrysler Corporation sold Dodge Colts which, in fact, were
made in Japan by Mitsubishi. Under a Chevrolet label General Motors sold
light pickup trucks, which were produced entirely in Japan. Ford did the
same thing, not only with some of its consumer vehicles, but also with
its farm tractors.
Japan is not the only country, which has
claimed a part of what used to be the American automobile industry. U.S.
auto companies have stayed in business only by having more and more of
the work which goes into their cars performed outside of the United States,
in order to take advantage of vastly cheaper labour. Wiring harnesses from
Mexico, electronic ignition modules from Taiwan, seat covers and other
upholstery from Korea, alternators from Brazil, speedometers and other
dashboard instruments from Hong Kong: more and more of what is sold as
"American" is made elsewhere and only assembled in the United States.
The Asian country, which has benefited
most in recent years from the U.S. policy of "free" trade, is China. The
Chinese assault on American industry was not widely noticed at first, because
the Chinese did not begin with high-profile consumer items, such as cars
or television receivers. They began at a more basic level, first with machine
tools and then with hand tools. They have virtually destroyed the American
machine-tool industry single-handedly.
In the 1950s the United States was the
world leader in the manufacture of machine tools, with more than 50 per
cent of the total production. Machine tools -- lathes, milling machines,
grinders, stamping machines, and the other large, motorised tools used
in factories -- are the most essential component of a nation's industrial
base. Today we make only six per cent of the world's machine tools. In
the last decade alone our share of the world's production has declined
by a factor of three, down from 19 per cent in 1984. It's still dropping.
In another five years we'll have only three or four makers of machine tools
left, and they'll be making only highly specialised, computer-controlled
tools. All of the general-purpose machine tools used in the United States
will come from China or Brazil.
The same thing is happening to the U.S.
hand-tool industry. If one examines the plastic-packaged tools and accessories
hanging on the display peg-boards in any of the larger automotive parts
stores -- the spark plug wrenches and screwdriver sets and compression
testers -- one will find that somewhere between two-thirds and three-quarters
of them are imported from Asia, mostly from China. With the larger tools
-- hydraulic floor jacks, for example -- the situation is worse: the chances
are about nine out of ten that one will find a "Made in China" label. If
there are any U.S.-made jacks still to be found, they will be priced at
about three times the price of a Chinese jack of similar quality. American
manufacturers, with their much higher labour costs, simply cannot compete
with Chinese industry, and they are being driven out of business.
For the past few years the Chinese have
been moving into the production of low-priced consumer goods as well: the
sort of plastic household goods that housewives buy in K-Marts or Wal-Marts.
Because these goods are priced substantially lower than similar American
products, consumers welcome them. They do not consider the fact that the
well-paid American workers who formerly made such goods in U.S. factories
now are scrambling to find service-industry employment at substantially
lower wages.
The Chinese (including those in Hong Kong
and Taiwan) and the Japanese are not the only Asians who are destroying
the U.S. industrial base. The Koreans, for example, have had the U.S. clothing
industry under attack for years and have devastated large sections of it.
Mr. Clinton has just invited the Vietnamese to join the feeding frenzy.
There is a double significance to this
transfer of American industry out of the country. In the first place, it
lowers the average wage level of American workers, as they are forced to
move from manufacturing into a service industry or into less than full-time
employment. And although factory workers are the first to be hit, eventually
most other segments of the work force suffer as well, even the yuppies
and others who would never think of working with their hands. When people
who used to work in factories have less money to spend, there's less money
to earned by everyone.
In the second place, the transfer of industry
out of the United States robs us of national self-sufficiency. It may not
matter much whether we have factories for producing pantyhose and plastic
hair curlers or we import these things from Korea, but it matters very
much whether or not we produce our own machine tools. If the Koreans give
us an ultimatum: do what we say or no more plastic hair curlers, we can
laugh in their faces. If the Chinese decide not to sell us more machine
tools, however, we'll be in trouble.
This, of course, is exactly what the New
World Order boys planned. "Interdependence," they call it. They began selling
us on the virtues of interdependence -- and the evils of independence --
as early as the 1950s. The New World Order is a system in which every country
is dependent on many other countries for its necessities of life, and no
country is independent enough to opt out of the system and go its own way.
"Free" trade is essential to the whole
scheme. The controlled media deliberately have created the impression in
the public mind that "protectionism" -- the regulation of imports through
the imposition of tariffs or quotas -- is a corrupt policy which benefits
greedy industrialists at the expense of everyone else. Actually, it is
a necessity for national survival and progress. Consider just three facts:
* Fact Number 1: Merchants always will
buy their manufactured goods from the supplier who will give them the best
price for goods of a specified quality. If the best price is from a foreign
supplier, and if international trade is unregulated, then the merchants
will import their goods from abroad. On an individual basis the merchants
really have no choice in the matter: a widget merchant who pays two or
three times as much for his American-made widgets as other widget merchants
do for their Chinese-made widgets soon will be out of the widget business.
* Fact Number 2: For most manufactured
goods the cost of the labour which went into them is the largest single
component of the total production cost. When one country has a much lower
wage scale than another country, then it will be able to sell its manufactured
goods at a lower price, other things being equal. The other things are
labour discipline, organisational skill, and the possession of the necessary
machinery and raw materials. Thus, Ghana or Zambia, for example, could
not compete with the United States in the production of manufactured goods
even if it paid nothing at all for labour, because it lacks labour discipline,
organisational ability, and an industrial base. China, on the other hand,
has very cheap labour which is better disciplined than that in America,
as well as the needed organisational skills for utilising that labour effectively
in large-scale enterprises. Furthermore, China has painstakingly built
up its industrial base -- with our collaboration -- during the past 40
years or so.
* Fact Number 3: When industrial production
moves from a country with high wages to a country with low wages, the immediate
effect will be a reduction in the difference in wages between the two countries.
Wages in the country, which gains the industry, will rise, and wages in
the country, which loses the industry, will fall. This will be true whether
the production is in the hands of nationally based companies or a multi-national
corporation. Thus, if the North American Free Trade Agreement results in
the Ford Motor Company closing a plant in Detroit and building a new one
in Tijuana for the production of Fords, wages will rise in Mexico and fall
in the United States just as surely as if the production had shifted from
Ford to a company owned entirely by Mexicans.
What this means is that if an industrialised
country which has built up a high standard of living for its citizens wants
to maintain its industrial base and its living standard, it must regulate
imports of goods from countries with lower wage scales. If it does not,
its industrial base will be eroded, and its living standard will fall.
This is a fairly simple economic fact, and most Americans could understand
it if the proponents of the New World Order had not thrown up a smoke screen
of obfuscation. They claim that there will be "readjustments" to be made
when all trade barriers are down, but that in the long run everyone will
benefit. We will import more goods, they say, but we also will export more,
and everything will even out. That is not true, and they know it. What
will "even out" will be wage scales around the world. The rich countries
will become less rich, and the poor countries will become less poor, and
if the process continues long enough wage scales -- and standards of living
-- will approach equality, which is what the egalitarian ideologues among
the globalists really are aiming at. To them the present state of affairs,
with White Americans earning 20 times as much as Mexican peons or Chinese
coolies, is "unjust."
Other New World Order ideologues see in
the interdependence which will result from wiping out a number of strategically
vital industries in the United States (and other industrialised nations)
a sure way to prevent international conflict in the future. They have taught
two generations of Americans that "Cupertino" is a virtue in itself, and
we will be a more virtuous nation when we no longer are able to act unilaterally:
that is, when we must secure the agreement of the countries which supply
our ball bearings and our computer chips before we make a major move in
international affairs.
All of this is not to say that international
trade is a bad thing in itself. Trade, like many other things, should be
an instrument of national policy. A nation's international trade should
be regulated with one aim in mind: to maximise the security and prosperity
of the nation. Americans can hardly expect that of a government headed
by a man who only two decades ago was demonstrating in the street with
other draft-dodgers, gleefully chanting, "Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh, the Viet
Cong's gonna win!"
The only environment in which unregulated
trade can be tolerated is within a natural community of interest: i.e.,
within a group of political entities which have a common sense of identity
and a common set of interests, determined by Nature rather than by politics
alone. In such an environment unrestricted trade usually is beneficial.
For example, we do not want to protect Michigan's automobile industry from
competition by an automobile manufacturer in Indiana or Texas. If Texans
can build a better car at a lower price, then we, as Americans, are better
off for it. We don't worry about people in Michigan becoming dependent
on Texans, because we're the same people.
But we damned well better worry about
being dependent on Chinese and Mexicans, who are fundamentally different
from us in many ways.
Most White Americans, I am sure even if
they have been taken in by the egalitarian propaganda that racial differences
really don't mean anything, are not willing to have their own living standards
continue to go down, so that Chinese and Mexican living standards can rise.
And very few real Americans are willing to sacrifice our national independence
and security to a scheme, which will make us dependent on countries like
China and Mexico for a lot more than cheap consumer goods.
But that's exactly what's happening now.
Mr. Clinton and the gang in the White House are pushing as hard as they
can to destroy American sovereignty, to boost interdependence at the expense
of national independence, and to make us equal to Mexicans and Chinese.
The only way we can stop this is to reach
millions of people with our message, to make them understand the consequences
of the ongoing destruction of America's industrial base and the motives
of those responsible for it. We must make every American understand what
a dangerous and evil scheme the New World Order is and what disastrous
consequences it will have for all of us if we fail to derail it while there
is still time.
