For years now, most governments have ignored what The Pope has been saying because it usually deals with issues in a regressive manner (AIDS, condoms). This time, however, Pope Benedict may have hit the nail on the head for certain conservative members of the G8 (Italy, Canada, the U.S., France).
While many conspiracy theorists have been warning of impending doom and gloom via a New World Order - a World Government of sorts - and guessing it would come from the U.S. side, it seems the Catholic leader has taken the lead on making this happen, blaming the current economic crisis in the process, and saying the economy should be regulated by a ''world political authority'' with the noble goal of helping the less fortunate and redistribute wealth more equally.
Yeah, right.
It was obvious this idea would start making the rounds in the media brought on by the political/religious right, and it was obvious they'd try to mask it as a leftist 'helping others' scam that will end up being a lie of sorts, either benefiting rich Americans or rich Europeans.
The 'amero' idea already started making the rounds, a 'unique dollar for all of North America' modeled on the euro, as has the Bush-supported idea of a 'super highway' linking Canada, the U.S. and Mexico - all viewed as the first steps in tools of integration to lead to a unique world currency and economy and, eventually, One World Government.
But how would a World Government not be a totalitarian regime? Americans, in all their democratic splendor, had George W. Bush in charge for 8 years. Worse still, Canadians have now twice elected as a minority leader Stephen Harper who acts like he was elected with a 90% majority eventhough he's riding the coattails of less than a quarter of the population's votes.
If we can't trust those who are in charge when they're in charge of mere countries, why should we trust them to be in charge of all the world's money and resources?
We're at an age when heads should roll, not take control.
