Henry the Horse Still Waltzing

"And of course, Henry the Horse, dances the waltz.*

With apologies to the Beatles, I refer to Henry Kissinger who in a recent interview said that Barack Obama has an excellent chance to establish a new world order. This according to Drew Zahn, writing at World Net Daily. The video interview is also posted.

"The president-elect is coming into office at a moment when there is upheaval in many parts of the world simultaneously," Kissinger responded. "You have India, Pakistan; you have the jihadist movement. So he can't really say there is one problem, that it's the most important one. But he can give new impetus to American foreign policy partly because the reception of him is so extraordinary around the world. His task will be to develop an overall strategy for America in this period when, really, a new world order can be created. It's a great opportunity, it isn't just a crisis."

Echoes of Rahm Emmanuel, Obama's incoming Chief of Staff, who said that every crisis presents an opportunity to advance an agenda.

The concept of a New World Order has been around since at least 1840 - that's 169 years - when H.G. Wells "used it as a title of a book describing a socialist, unified, one-world government." It has been associated, says Zahn, with several U.S. presidents including George H.W. Bush who, before a joint session of Congress in 1989, said this:

"A new partnership of nations has begun, and we stand today at a unique and extraordinary moment," said Bush before a joint session of Congress. "Out of these troubled times, our fifth objective – a new world order – can emerge: A new era … in which the nations of the world, east and west, north and south, can prosper and live in harmony."

Kissinger's affection for a New World Order have long been known, and he's been around since the Nixon era, dispensing advice, heading up commissions and running international errands. He's a Bilderberg'er (read the article if you want details). He's still waltzing the one-world matilda.

You don't have to believe in the fire of an elite conspiracy to engineer the world's economic and political systems a certain way, but you have to admit that there certainly is a lot of smoke.

As an American who believes in individual freedom, the Constitution, and the inalienable God-given rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness (which includes property), I believe that first and foremost the citizens of the U.S. must protect our freedoms from encroachment from the world (and from enemies among us who would sell us out), before we spend a dime or a minute worrying about how to stabilize the globe. If there is to be a New World Order, let the rest of the world adopt our Constitution and emulate us.

Then we might talk.
