BUILDING THE NEW WORLD ORDER 113

jsjevv World Order. In this report, Gyohten explains that the real importance of "trade" agreements is not trade but the building of global government:

Regional trade arrangements should not be regarded as ends inthemselves, but as supplements to global liberalization.... Regionalarrangements provide models or building blocks for increased orstrengthened globalism.... Western Europe [the EU] representsregionalism in its truest form.... The steps toward deepening

[increasing the number of agreements] are dramatic and designed tobe irreversible.... A common currency.... central bank.... court andparliament—will have expanded powers.... After the Maastrichtsummit [the Dutch town where the meeting was held], an Economisteditorial pronounced the verdict: "Call it what you will: by any othername it is federal government."... In sum, the regional integrationprocess in Europe can be seen as akin to an exercise innation-building.

Applying this same perspective to the NAFTA treaty, former Secretary-of-State, Henry Kissinger (CFR), said it "is not a conventional trade agreement but the architecture of a new international system.... the vital first step for a new kind of community of nations." The newspaper article that contained this statement was appropriately entitled: "With NAFTA, U.S. Finally Creates a New World Order." David Rockefeller (CFR) was even more emphatic.

He said that it would be "criminal" not to pass the treaty because:

"Everything is in place—after 500 years—to build a true 'new world' in the Western Hemisphere."3

By early 1994, the drift toward the New World Order had

become a rush. On April 15, the government of Morocco placed a full-page ad in the New York Times celebrating the creation of the World Trade Organization which was formed by the signing of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) which took place in the Moroccan city of Marrakech. While Americans were still being told that GATT was merely a "trade" agreement, the internationalists were celebrating a much larger concept. The ad spelled it out in unmistakable terms:

A RARE GLIMPSE INTO THE INNER WORKINGS

So much for the final play. Let us return, now, to the game called bailout as it is actually played today on the international scene. Let us begin with a glimpse into the inner workings of the Presidential Cabinet. James Watt was the Secretary of the Interior in the Reagan Administration. In his memoirs, he described an incident at a Cabinet meeting in the spring of 1982. The first items on the agenda were reports by Treasury Secretary Donald Regan and Budget Director David Stockman concerning problems the less-developed countries were having with their bank loans. Watt said:
