Advocating Globalism is as sensible as advocating Air or advocating Humanism.  Lo and behold, as fate and fact would have it, Air is as crucial to Humanism as is a Globe.  Very handy, indeed, that humanity shall have terra firma under its big footprint and oxygen coursing through its countless capillaries.

The question is, WHY advocate the obvious?  Perhaps the answer lies in the damning preposition ‘before.’  Globalism is defined as the belief (or advocating the belief) that political policies should take worldwide issues into
account BEFORE focusing on
national or state concerns.

Um . . . er . . . ah . . . NEGATIVE.

Do passengers on a crashing plane, even Hero Types, tend first to the oxygen masks of the rest of the plane’s population, or are passengers factually instructed to FIRST put on their OWN oxygen masks BEFORE assisting others?  The cold, hard Truth is that passengers, even parents, are instructed in no uncertain terms to tend to their own PRACTICAL NEEDS before tending to the needs of others, including those of their kidlets.  Why?  Do airline representatives think that one adult is more valuable than another?  Are parents instantly persuaded that they are more valuable than their children?  Or do intelligent and logical people intuitively GET IT that, if we will not first see to our own lifeblood, we will be USELESS to others?  Otherwise, parents might wrestle masks onto flailing kids only to pass out, whereupon the young ‘uns can inhale big swigs of the aforementioned Air for their sustained sobbing.

Torture Lite is A-okay, but Survival of the Fittest is antiquated brutality?  Only in America.

Truly, only in America has Altruism taken on life-threatening connotations.  The other countries rather stand to benefit from Others First but – jeepers, I hate to sound like The Ugly American – what’s in it for us? 

What’s in it for us might be argued to be a gigantic Mea Culpa with, as per usual, the most guilty percolating above the fray and the least prosperous absorbing the lion’s share of the cost.  American quality of life will deteriorate via Globalization as surely as American labor has suffered via Outsourcing and Illegal Immigration.  American Labor and American Quality of Life must necessarily stagnate in order for SEVERAL BILLION PEOPLE catch up with 300 million.

It is harrowing enough that our Corporate Masters are Internationalists whose principal loyalty is to coffers, not country.  It is demoralizing enough that our Ruling Elite is corrupt beyond imagination.  CONTAINMENT is key.  Give them LESS room to maneuver, not more.  Ponder only International Creative Accounting.

OR, conversely, let us NOT be Ugly Americans.  Let us DO embrace Globalism.  But, for real Change, let us not cherry-pick from the implications.  Let us not stop with how many more taxes can be levied and how many more profits will be finagled.  Let us go about Big Picture Melting Pot in good faith.

First – this is so obvious as to go without saying, except it apparently does NOT go without saying – for Globalization to be Globalization and not, say, Monopolization, Labor must be able to globe-trot as freely Capital and Power.  What’s good for the gander is good for the goslings.  In the alchemy of Free Market and Free Will, an inordinate amount of mischief is circumvented by healthy competition amongst innovative and industrious people.  Think, worldwide economic stimulus rather than idiosyncratic windfalls.

Then by all means – the hastier and more thorough, the better – let us put our best foot forward by eliminating the Council on Foreign Relations, the National Security Council, Homeland Security and the State Department.  These wildly expensive entities are redundant in the Globalization paradigm.  Redundancy is lunacy when we need so desperately to cut costs.  Moreover, these are disproportionately powerful entities – not at all in keeping with the Kumbaya spirit of Globalization.

Let us even more promptly eliminate the Secret Service.

Why on earth would leaders of the much-heralded New World Order fear for their lives?  Indeed, they should consider the safety of others BEFORE they consider their own.
