if you have read ANYTHING by C. Wright Mills he constantly speaks of the "Power Elite", your NWO. So, he beat you to it...anyway.

I pose this question....

If I was a member of the power elite, why would I want to unite the world under one government?? Sure, I could have more power...at least for a little while, until my death. OR I could keep wars between nation-states and NGOs going and be making a shit ton of money and use that money to keep making money. Because with money, I can bribe governments and use my power. If I emerge from the shadows and unite the world under one government not only can I be targeted by the people who I rule, but my money just might run out.

Take, for example, Augutus' method of ruling (behind the scenes, died of old age) as compared to that of Nero (Ruled extravagantly and was forced to commit suicide)

vazilizaitsev, you know from your own values that ideas are bulletproof. The people that want unity and envision how it will be feel like they see the light and the rest of us are barbars. And really, they are right.

To understand their reasoning, not the incidentals and momentary by products, read some of their literature. Like, Rhodes, Rockefeller, H.G. Welles, etc...

Many people that are weak and fighting nature say that change is evil and paint a frightening picture, but really all they are doing is making their listeners feel powerless, hopeless, fearful, and weak. And this is the state that many cult leaders put their followers in before they are initiated. In all honesty, might is right, and nobody is right because they all have their own selfish idea of what is right, so fuck them all.

The "truthseeking" propaganda pushers are really disgusting, they give no goodness, only fear and paranoia. And this weakened condition opens you up to follow them and; buy their products, donate to their cause, and follow a false prophet. David Icke has every attribute of a cult leader. They give you no hope for change, only a way of looking at the world through their narrow eyes, and that way is usually not even the way they truly see it.

But in the end nobody is right. They all are faggots that need to be cut up the middle for fucking w/ lives, but life is a power struggle and as they see it, the elite, they are the wiser and more just, in the end, of the powerful tyrannical men. And if you look at it naturally, just like with any system, it all, every system, grows towards order, especially the more complex it gets, it's just natural, it's the way things are. And I try to stay ahead of things, I evolve, or else I die, and this is the most natural and wise view point, in my eyes.

But I would check out some of the old school unity idealists from the 19th and 29th century, like I said welles, etc. They are the stronger and they will succeed, and all of the fear inducing people of today are already dead and they are already forgotten and humanity is working to fix the inefficiencies with the new connected system to go on to bigger and better problems of existence.

well with a one world govnt they simply controll more ppl. Or something similar to an Orwellian 1984 world is probably one of their ideas. I dont know if youve read 1984 but basically...

there are 3 Super-Power nations that control the world. All 3 are constantly changing alliances but always fighting eachother. They know they cant win unlless they use their nukes, and do a lightening fast strike, but this is next to impossible pluss they would get nuked. So the leaders maintain totilitorian regimes pretty similar to N. Korea modern day in my opinion. And the main character's country, Oceania, constantly gets bombed by basically ICBM's and the populous runs around nuts and scared and stupid. Thats kinda a lame nutshell of the situation.

However as you read on Winston, the main character, brings up a few very good points. The missiles could in fact be launched Oceania on its own populous to keep them in a state war and perpetually scared. But the greater issue is, there is no way to actually tell if the other 2 nations (east-asia and Eurasia) actully exist. It is possible that there is one nation, a world government, that controls everyone through this way. It is a lot more complicated, and i hope you havent read it otherwise i just wasted my time lol. But if you have any questions id be happy to answer, its an amazing read. It really explains how and why the elite do what they do, and the methods they use.

how does a book report on perhaps the greatest book of the 20th century answer my question? I've read that book so many times Ive lost count...not to mention the countless analysis of said book.

Orwell wasnt going into C. Wright Mills' concept of the power elite...Orwell was talking about a socialist revolution gone wrong

i came off kinda bad. You asked why they would want a one world govnt instead of what we have now. Im giving an example of how a one world govnt could be better and profitable. Using that world was my example.
