2009 IS FIRST YEAR OF WORLD GOVERNMENT ACCORDING TO EU PRESIDENT

The powers of world government are so sure of themselves that they really don't make much effort to hide anymore. It's only in America that they still feel the need to shroud their intent behind "social justice" and the "common good". We may be the last people that still value freedom; though it seems that even here this characteristic is fading fast.

"We are living through exceptionally difficult times: the financial crisis and its dramatic impact on employment and budgets, the climate crisis which threatens our very survival. A period of anxiety, uncertainty and lack of confidence. Yet these problems can be overcome by common efforts in and between our countries. 2009 is also the first year of global governance, with the establishment of the G20 in the middle of the financial crisis. The climate conference in Copenhagen is another step towards the global management of our planet. Our mission is one of hope, supported by acts and action."
