Subject: Re: harriet, do you really want the answer?
I can tell you whats next, its really simple and has hardly been hidden, what comes next is one world government, who will lead it is still up for debate, though the USA is the lead (should history show us the victor I have no doubt our unique form of democracy, you know the elite republic kind, will be spread throughout the world, then everyone will get to vote for which ever of the evils appears the least so). By the way, what is that word they use for a government which is run by the wealthy minorty of rich bussness people, seems to me it started with a fas...something?

but I digress, the question was who will lead.....
Europe has just woke up and is rapidly attempting unite its currency through the euro dollar, they are also in the process of forming and strengthing more then one united european military force. (they are borrowing the USA "fight terrorism" public cause- what a joke, europe has had more terrorism in the last 2 decades then we have had in the usa's entire existence, and they never took any measures this drastic before, think they could at least come up with a better public agenda and cause)

The middle eastern countries are banding together under the guise of the palistine cause, (were they really all that concerned they would have banded together long before now, this is mearly their public agenda), the law of the desert has never changed "the enemy of my friend is my friend".

The usa's public agenda is to "fight terrorism", "evil" and free people from a bad governments as in afganistan (if this were true, dont ya wonder why we didnt free them decades ago, i mean they have been begging for our help for the last 20yrs?)of course it has nothing to do with that oil pipeline they have been wanting to build for the last 20yrs, you know the one from the dead sea that will run right across afganistan? nor does it have anything to do with money, power or controll.

the battles are just starting, I dont think any of us will live to see the victor of the war, we may see some victories and losses of the small battles, like we did during desert storm and are now watching in afganistan, but these are only small battles in the real war. At any rate I hope im long gone before the real war is won or lost.
Replying to:

The underlying motive - that I read between the lines -is "money". Always has been and always will be. Not that such will actually produce any grand form of education for poor countries: the U.S., one of the wealthiest countries in the world, has what????? to show for its own educational system with gazillions of dollars invested in it..........it's more like "global gouging" to me.

Another concern from the article, though, that issues red flags for me is the "global" jargon that continues to flood our millenial language - global economy, global awareness, now global education - what's next: global bank (there are some that already exist), global religion - ????????? what is the underlying agenda for all this "global" subtlety?

To your original post and questions - we the taxpayers will be footing the "global bill" for such a project - but do we get a report card? Doubt it. I encourage all readers of this forum to know who their state and federal legislators are and be sure to correspond with them on a regular basis about such matters and one's preferences of same, please!!

This was in the paper today. It is yet more evidence of the grand plan to standardize the human being for service in the global workforce. I love how they push all the emotional buttons about teaching young girls to read etc. Don't think for a moment that the World Bank, of all corporate strangleholds, would reveal it's true mission to get "every child in the world in school". Of course you also note who is supposed to foot the bill for this "Education for All". Why should the ruling elite use their own money when the American taxpayer will do it for them. THere would be a public outcry if "Friends" or some such blather went off the air, but something like this will go unnoticed.

World Bank Endorses Global Education Plan
April 22, 2002
By PAUL BLUSTEIN, Washington Post

WASHINGTON -- Global financial leaders gave broad backing Sunday to a World Bank plan aimed at ensuring that by 2015 all children in poor countries get at least a primary school education.

The plan, called "Education for All," still lacks firm financial commitments from many major donors, most notably the United States. That is a source of concern to aid advocates who warned that the initiative would probably fail unless the Bush administration provides enthusiastic leadership in the form of a sizable contribution.

At a news conference that capped the weekend meetings of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, however, World Bank President James Wolfensohn said he was "extremely heartened by the support" for the plan shown by members of a policy-setting committee that represented the bank's 183 member nations, including Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill, who represented the United States.

"What I hoped to get today on education ... I got," Wolfensohn said. "It was a wholehearted endorsement." The British aid group Oxfam International hailed the result as "a major breakthrough in the campaign to get every child in the world into school," while adding that rich countries must now back up their words with billions of dollars in funding.

About 125 million primary-school-age children in developing countries, the majority of them girls, do not attend school. Getting nearly all of those children to attend class and complete five years of primary education is widely regarded by development experts as one of the most achievable and important of the "millennium development goals" set two years ago by the world's governments for 2015. Reducing illiteracy among women generates many benefits in poor societies, including improved child health and nutrition.

During the weekend meetings, the World Bank warned that 88 countries will fall considerably short of meeting the education goal if they continue on their present course. The bank said it will cost $2.5 billion to $5 billion annually to help the 47 poorest countries meet the goal, and the cost of achieving the goal in all developing countries could be triple that amount.

The World Bank plan is based on the idea that the poor countries, rather than the donors, should play the main role in improving their education systems, and that any country with a sensible plan can count on receiving sufficient foreign assistance for it.

Liz again: Please tell me what a "sensible plan" is. Sensible to whom? Could it be that any "poor" country with a greedy govt. will agree to producing non-thinking, cookie cutter people, to get their hands on the money?
