DAILY KOS ON FIRE ABOUT GORDON BROWN!

Now, Daily Kos, is as liberal as one can get in the way of political perspective... but... they are finally getting it! They are finally seeing the hand writing on the wall of what is going on in this financial "crisis" that world politicians are referring to as a great "opportunity" for them.

This is almost too good to be true!

Please note that I haven't started my quote at the beginning of the article, so don't think you are at the wrong link.

...GORDON BROWN'S CRUSADE

Gordon Brown is a driven man. He's been jetting around non stop to pitch his big vision: A global governing body to oversee the world's finances. Here is him selling the idea to congress the other day:

Our task is to rebuild prosperity and security in a wholly different economic world, where competition is no longer local but global and banks are no longer just national but international.

It seems to me banks are already too international, where some bad loans in California ends up bankrupting a bank in Dubai. But Brown isn't just talking about cooperation. He's talking about something far more profound:

"Or we could view the threats and challenges we face today as the difficult birth-pangs of a new global order -- and our task now as nothing less than making the transition through a new internationalism to the benefits of an expanding global society."....

...Hey, I'm all for the world citizen concept. But not the one envisioned by people like Walter Wriston, Henry Kissinger, or Gordon Brown. Not one that further centralizes power away from common people, thereby eliminating all accountability to democratic authority. That is what's at stake here. Our system of government is already to centralized and unaccountable enough. Imagine this global authority, even in a likely scaled back form, where it just regulates banks and such. What recourse would I, as an American citizen, have to such a monstrosity?

Now... be forewarned... there is some really graphic language in the article... but when you get time go read it for a remarkable lesson on the political move toward what the "conspiracy nuts" have been telling us for about eighty years now.

Then... go to your closet and pray...

Then... come out swinging.
