The New World Order failed

On September 11, 1990, President Bush announced at a joint session of Congress "a new world order."

The dawn of a new era. The end of history. Utopia.

"We stand today at a unique and extraordinary moment. The crisis in the Persian Gulf, as grave as it is, also offers a rare opportunity to move toward an historic period of cooperation," he said. 

"Out of these troubled times, our fifth objective -- a new world order -- can emerge: a new era -- freer from the threat of terror, stronger in the pursuit of justice, and more secure in the quest for peace. An era in which the nations of the world, East and West, North and South, can prosper and live in harmony. A hundred generations have searched for this elusive path to peace, while a thousand wars raged across the span of human endeavor. 

"Today that new world is struggling to be born, a world quite different from the one we've known. A world where the rule of law supplants the rule of the jungle. A world in which nations recognize the shared responsibility for freedom and justice. A world where the strong respect the rights of the weak. 

"This is the vision that I shared with President Gorbachev in Helsinki. He and other leaders from Europe, the Gulf, and around the world understand that how we manage this crisis today could shape the future for generations to come."

Peace.

But first we must have a war.

"Tonight, 28 nations -- countries from 5 continents, Europe and Asia, Africa, and the Arab League -- have forces in the Gulf area standing shoulder to shoulder against Saddam Hussein. These countries had hoped the use of force could be avoided. Regrettably, we now believe that only force will make him leave," Bush told the world on January 19, 1991.

A sort of war. A half-hearted war. A war that ousted Iraq from Kuwait but did not oust Saddam Hussein from Iraq. 

In short, a war we lost.  We even let him keep helicopters, which he used to kill Kurds.

Next came the collapse of the Soviet Union. Instead of ending NATO, we expanded it.

Then came the European Union, which Prime Minister Thatcher reluctantly agreed to. 

And NAFTA.

We were told this would mean more jobs here, and fewer illegal aliens as Mexicans could find work there.

But it turned out to be a you-can-keep-your-doctor moment. We lost factory jobs, and gained illegal aliens.

And on the 11th anniversary of the New World Order speech came the 9/11 attack that destroyed the Twin Towers and part of the Pentagon.

Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq followed. 

An economic collapse in 2008 followed by a long and slow recovery reflected the de-industrialization of Europe and the United States. A decision to bomb the hell out of Libya led to the flooding of Italy with refugees. Later, war in Syria led to the invasion by refugees of Germany, France, Scandinavia, and other Western nations.

The New World Order failed the people. The EU dictated to nations socialist rules for living. In England, "hate speech" is considered a greater crime than the organized grooming and molestation of thousands of British schoolchildren.

Failure has consequences. The backlash was justified. Brexit and the election of President Trump resulted from the One World Government that both Bushes, Clinton and Obama embraced.

Nationalism is the result of the failure of internationalism.

The Deep State believes it can wait out President Trump, and Prime Minister Theresa May thinks she can likewise delay Brexit beyond the point of no return.

Perhaps this strategy will work, but if the socialists in those nations succeed in thwarting the will of the people, what follows will be the will of a strong man.
