I decided that I wanted to learn more about globalization and the New World Order so that I could oppose it as effectively as possible. I believe that globalization represents the loss of freedoms and democracy to the control of the masses by financial elites and corporations.

Signs of globalization

Allan Greenspan walked away with 15 billion dollars in addition to money he has in foreign bank accounts. Why should he or anyone like him have had any say or control over our money.

Hordes of people are flooding into America illegally even tho Americans are mostly opposed to this. By 2040 the UN predicts that we will be overwhelmed with immigrants from Africa, Asia and the Middle East. It was 2050 but its happening so fast they changed it.

Since these people know or care little about our history and our government, they only come here so "they can have a better life" it will be even more impossible for us to govern ourselves and we will be caught up in the tyranny of public opinion which will be the opinions of the new immigrants that they deserve to have their way since they will out number us. So we must oppose globalization because it will destroy us.

There are open ware courses from many colleges and I chose the one at MIT

http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Political-Science/17-196Fall-2005/CourseHome/index.htm

While studying thru the course I came across the book Globalization in Question by Hirst and Thompson and when I added it to my library here at Library Thing it says that not one other person here is reading the book. I'm amazed at that. Why is nobody reading it?

At Amazon the book is around $40.

http://www.amazon.com/Globalization-Question-International-Possibilities-Governa...

I can't afford to pay this so I hope I can find the book at the library. Is there a hope in the world of finding this book at my small town local library. I seriously doubt it. But before I shell out the money is there anyone here who can find the book at your library and who is interested in talking about it.

Wow. read this account of what globalization has turned people into

http://www.lclark.edu/~soan370/global/casino.html

How would thinks have been different if we had been very nationalistic as a distinct people and Anglo Saxons. If we had a strong sense of who we are and been loyal to the idea of America would we be confronting globalization.

Yes. It's the way of the world. By the way, What IS the idea of America?

Where's codyed? This all sounds vaguely racist.

What a flippant uninformed uncalled for remark.

America is supposed to be a nation that is "One From Many". However the fact is that with diversity we have become a country of various ethnic groups and religions with each seeking their own interests at the expense of the General Welfare. No Small Thing.

We completely lost all regard for the welfare of the people who founded this nation and wrote the Constitution. Certainly nothing that is going on was intended by our founding Fathers.

We don't even have a strong pro American leadership. Instead we have a leadership of money. The group with the most money and the richest segment of the population is the Jews so therefore we waged a Middle East Holocaust against the Iraqis and now Israel wants us to attack Iran and with great hustpa and confidence has sent a delegation to Washington DC to demand it.

Can you tell us why we spent the last 8 years in the Middle East. How did it help America? We are bankrupted and we are bogged down but I guess according to you that just the way of the world.

Experts tell us that our military resources should be in the Pacific to guard against China, not in the MIddle East.

The Chinese are using all of those American petro dollars to build a new superpower Navy. One of their subs came along side an American nuclear submarine and we didn't even know it. When the Chinese are the military superpower we'll see if they have a strong sense of a Chinese country and how they respond to the rest of us. See if they're vaguely racist.

Sounds like we need to do some work on our own military as well as rebuilding our crumbling and dangerous infrastructure rather than pouring our money down a black hole in the MIddle East on behalf of a Jewish state. Opps I didn't mean to make it sound like the Jews are vaguely racist.

But thats the beauty of diversity. The group with the most money will run our government to benefit their own ethnic group. Not the idea of America.

But I was not talking about race here and the last link I gave was nothing about race either. It was about ads and how technology and the markets are dehumanizing us.

I didn't want to get off track. I am talking about Globalization. The New World Order. If you didn't have your radar up, busying yourself with political correctness bs and looking under every rock for a racist you might have noticed that the entire thrust of my comment was about Globalization and corporations and big business.

Nevertheless everything I said about immigrants is true and I don't give a shit if you think I'm racist. Everything is about race in case you hadn't noticed. Why don't you worry about Hispanics coming here looking out for their own interests without a concern in the world for the rest of us if you are so concerned about racism. Why were blacks so thrilled to elect Obama if its not about race.

The worst thing in the world is somebody who runs around calling other people names if we cross any political correctness taboos. Its gotten to where we're not allowed to discuss any issues of importance. You are worse than the double speakers in 1984

Of course only white people are forced to observe political correctness

Clearly bringing immigrants as cheap wage slaves from the third world is at the very heart of Globalization and I have a right to talk about the harm they will do to Americans who are already here. We don't need any more immigrants. Particularly as we are being told that there will be food riots and water shortages because of the corporations doing whatever they please while the government refuses to carry on with its responsibilities to its people.

I would even be so bold as to say that the Jewish neocons and Rahm Emanuel could be derelect in their duties to us because they have no biological nor psychological connection to us since Jews make up only 1.7% of the population but that might cause your radar to go ballistic and give you an apolectic fit.

Of course if a big reader like you has read about the Russian holocaust you already know what Jews did to tens of millions of Russians once they got control of the government. Of course we would never assume that they would do that to us Christians in America. They never persecute us do they. Why that would be racist wouldn't it. And we know that only white people can be racist.

You'd think that there would be a higher level of debate at a site that is about reading books. I feel like I'm at a site of 12 year olds.

I just want to drop the whole thing. Forget I asked about the Hirst book. I wouldn't even say anymore and I would just leave but the bottom line is that you have no right to accuse me of being vaguely racist. The proper thing to have done would be to discuss what I said and show me where I was wrong but its too easy just to call people racist isn't it. You probably don't have any clue about globalization nor any desire to learn about it so you just post insults against me.

Given everything that could have been in America and everything that the descendants of the founders have lost I believe that there is a legitimate discussion about that topic but discussing such things would not be good for all the other ethnic groups that are allowed to come in here and take everything our people have fought for and earned for us. We are therefore forced to play the role of the evil white devils at the same moment every other ethnic group and every other government on Earth are positioning themselves to get to America which is now up for grabs so they can further their own ethnic interests and get a piece of the pie. We are not even allowed to defend ourselves because that would be racist.

They can make demands and tell us what we owe them but we're not supposed to talk about our interests. It is certainly not in our interests to have had Jewish neocons running our White House for the last 8 years because it changed the very meaning of what it is to be American. but don't worry about it since you don't even know what America stands for in the first place.

Nobody can take pride in the singing of the National Anthem any longer even if it were not sung like a common cheap rap song by idiots who have no frame of reference for what it means to be American because they are drowning in the self serving propaganda of all the non whites.

Goodbye.

Jeez, I just thought he should meet codyed. I thought they could have a constructive discussion. Apparently codyed had enough sense not to engage in this conversation.

Woah, that was quite a tirade up there. Talk about the dehumanising effect of capitalism and markets. I doubt if that guy even sees human beings anymore, just diametrically opposed racially motivated special interest groups. A very strange perspective of the world.

#7: Those have to be some pretty thickly tinted lenses for you to take the ramblings of a self-avowed anti-free-market bigot as being pro-free-market. You're afraid of sellers earning money peacefully, he's afraid of brown people earning money peacefully. It's the same disease.

Ugh. This guy tried to hijack Progressive & Liberal not too long ago (over the summer, I believe). Once again, "Dixie": the days of the xenophobic, Anglo-Saxon-dominated "progressive" movements in America are over. The Party of Jackson no longer fears "the other." You can rant and rave all you want, but will find no allies here.

You clearly hate one specific group of people. Your contempt for Jews--all Jews--is just as contemptible as the hatred of the followers of Meir Kahane for all Palestinians. It is beyond irrational. It is sociopathic. And it will not fly in an open, pluralistic community like LibraryThing.

I was looking forward to discuss a book I have read but all I get is the crap above...Paul Hirst(who set up the degree programme I studies) would be turning in his grave!

by crap above I meant the postings from the person who started this topic - not the other authors above.
