Stopping Mass Atrocities: Building a Social Movement

[Reaver4k]

Why are people so against the world federalist movment and other human rights based organizations, I mean some crack pot conspiracy videos gets more view then some positive video about Human Rights and brining peace, freedom(The same Ideals the United States was founded on) and justice.

every country has it' own way of fighting

what right dose one country have to tell another how to live

If we were to just stick to being a Free and Prosperous Nation, like Dr. Paul says; the other countries will want to idolize us, we cant force our policies on other countries just because we have the power. No one really know where all the money from the war on drugs, terror, poverty, and now genocide really goes. Come on, a WAR on Genocide basicly, this is called doubletalk. These are all never ending wars for a reason, constant govt involvement, & eventually control.

Countries in the EU have to give up their sovereignty to be in the EU, it is up to them true, but thats like a Mom&Pop store competing against Wal*Marx, the country will just get squeezed out of bizness and have to agree to the outrages terms sometimes of joining the EU.

Who will this world law answer to? Whats to prevent them from participating in global slavery and ALL of the atrocities they claim to be trying to stop. The WFA's goal is not a Democratic government system, how can it be, its a global government, that governs the world. Who will keep them from taking advantage of their power like Bush has? They would be at the top. It is inherently flawed.

If the political/governmental idea of world federalism is flawed then you are saying that federalism itself is flawed. I think you need to try and understand the federal governing system a little. For reference, research the United States government and the European Union for reasons and examples of federalism.

One idea instead of complete %100 Federalism, would be something like a treaty between sovereign states and a federal power, with those federal powers only granted by the people and Limited by the People, this is called a Democratic Republic, oh yea, the United States govt is one of those.

[greyface01]

(WAS one of those, until Multi-national corporations started having more power than countries, which is the problem of %100 federalism teaming up with corporations, its called Corporate Fascism, or State Capitalism.)

I agree with tubetrekker - we can't isolate ourselves from the rest of the world. This video is about stopping mass atrocity - including those that could be visited upon us because of problems in other countries. We have to change our perspective in order to address modern problems. That doesn't mean we should ignore domestic issues, but that we should think of ourselves as human beings first and Americans second if we want to survive.

[greyface01]

A World Court would have Absolute Power, we have people dying in the U.S. because they cant get healthcare everyday, why? Overseas spending with fiat money. With all trillions spent on other countries aid and the war on drugs, it has only got WORSE. This is no coincidence, the giant charity foundations (rockefeller, world bank, IMF,ect) have admitted to aiding these mass atrocities you speak of so countries borrow money with interest they can never pay back, so the banks own the countries.

They we're basing their strategy on washington consensus, that people if given free meals will not try to learn to work for them. They didn't know one thing, the information is never perfect so prices are never what they should be.

They lived in their private mansion and with their friends of same arrogance, they didn't know that humans work in a more complicated way.

The washington consensus is now dead.

look at the place joseph stiglitz is given in the financial times.

Bravo to those working for a democratic government system of nations, run by the rule of law. A world where we could use the trillions we waste on war and apply it to making all live a much better life. It can indeed happen. Get over your fears and start dreaming... for the sake of your kids.

With all the problems in the USA shouldn't we be focused more on domestic issues than pushing the agenda of a New World Order?

[samuel200182]

The equilibrium between local power and international regulations has ever been complicated to do.

But it is an obligation.

Domestic issues are reproducing all over the world, so coordination will keep bureaucracy down to settle them and regulators more able to push tax-haven to disclose what they are hiding.

There is no guarantee, managing billions of lives is obviously prone to panic..but national management is prone too.
