People are beginning to realize that those governing in their name have long been working toward the eradication of the nation-state. The United Nations is not neutral ground where national governments debate their differences; it is a governmental construct intended to replace national governments. The World Health Organization is not an international body coordinating complex responses to global health crises; it is an institution equipped with vast authority and mandate to monitor and regulate every human being on the planet. The Bank for International Settlements, the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund do not exist to expand free trade, open markets, and assist developing nations; they exist to centralize control over all financial transactions worldwide.
"Green laws" and the control of citizens
The storm of legislation resembling the "New Green Deal" in Canada, the United States, Britain, the European Union, Australia, and New Zealand has nothing to do with protecting the environment or "saving the planet"; it is part of a broader UN initiative to track the so-called "carbon footprint" of every individual so that all human activity can be monitored, taxed, and regulated! The UN policy on "climate reparations" has nothing to do with "justice" or "science"; it exists to justify the redistribution of wealth from Western nations to non-Western ones under the pretext of international law.
The assault on nationalism
The message we have heard our entire lives is clear: nations do bad things; international organizations do good things. The rhetorical war against "nationalism" did not begin because people proud of their nations suddenly became Nazis; those proud of their nations are labeled "Nazis" so that those who rule us can demonize the nation-state. If one examines newspapers and scholarly articles prior to World War II, the words "nationalism" and "patriotism" are used interchangeably. After the war, there is a clear linguistic shift. "Patriotism" remains an acceptable political virtue, while "nationalism" is increasingly used as a derogatory term linked to fascism—as if the very concept of the nation-state is inherently authoritarian and anti-democratic.
The democracy of supranational organizations
Why should a constitutional republic be considered "fascist" at a national level but "democratic" when organized internationally? Why should the leader of a country like Germany, France, or the United States be deemed more "authoritarian" than the secretary-general of the UN or the president of the European Commission? Why is an international governing body viewed as more "democratic" than a self-governing city, region, or nation? Why should European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen be considered a "representative leader" of Europe when european citizens never voted for her directly to "represent" them? The UN possesses 193 member-state ambassadors who supposedly represent approximately 8.3 billion people. Why should such a tiny parliamentary assembly be considered "democratic" or "representative"? At best, it uses the facade of "democracy" to justify imposing its authoritarian will upon all of humankind.
Internationalism and totalitarianism
Natural rights and freedoms do not become more natural because 193 people in New York say so. Freedoms exist despite the existence of government, not because of government. The more people an authority claims to rule, the less likely it is that the natural rights of each individual will be protected. International governments are no less likely to become totalitarian than national governments. Much like Hitler's National Socialism and Mussolini's fascism in the last century, international tyranny prefers to masquerade as something peaceful, benevolent, and for the common good. If Hitler had conquered Europe, perhaps the German empire would be named the European Union. If he had conquered the entire world, perhaps the UN headquarters would be located in Berlin!
Trump and the WHO
For instance, the very same people who accuse US President Donald Trump of "authoritarianism" applaud the authoritarianism of international organizations like the WHO. When Trump withdrew the United States from the WHO due to its handling of the COVID pandemic and the attempt to cover up its origins in Wuhan, China, his critics labeled him "scientifically irresponsible" and called "global cooperation" a biological necessity.
The "linguistic magic" of internationalism
The same global corporate information system that has spent eighty years training the world to view "nationalism" as something evil, warmongering, and barbaric has simultaneously trained the world to regard everything "international" as inherently good, peaceful, and progressive. If the International Monetary Fund were more accurately named the "American Monetary Fund," would it become more suspect? If so, then words like "international" and "global" function as a verbal trick that creates the illusion that these organizations act on behalf of all humankind.
The UN "peacekeepers"
The UN possesses an entire Department of Peace Operations. This department deploys military and police personnel known as "peacekeepers." For decades, these "peacekeepers" raped women and girls around the world, while the UN and multinational media covered up their actions.
Globalization seeks to destroy nations
The big lies reveal the true objective of internationalism: internationalists are building a global empire. This empire is authoritarian because it demands global compliance at the expense of personal liberty, and totalitarian because it requires complete submission to a centralized global authority. This is why the UN encourages mass illegal immigration toward the United States and Europe. When one seeks to destroy nations, they do not care if murderers and rapists tear apart local communities or if Islamist terrorists burn down Christian churches. For globalization to triumph, it must first kill the nation-state! Everything indicates that the great battle of patriots around the world is approaching. And this time, the stakes are not taking power in a specific country, but the salvation of all peoples on the planet.
