It's hip and vogue, progressive sounding and modern. It smacks of fairness, equality, fraternity, all the things George Bush was against. Right?
Here it comes. One World Government.
Transnationalism is a social movement grown out of the heightened interconnectivity between people all and the loosening of boundaries between countries. Proponents of transnationalism seek to facilitate the flow of people, ideas, and goods between regions.
They believe that it has increasing relevance with the rapid growth of
globalization. They contend that it does not make sense to link
specific nation-state boundaries with for instance migratory workforces, globalized corporations, global money flow, global information flow, and global scientific cooperation.
Furthermore transnationalism often entails a vision of the obliteration of nation states to make way for a unified world government.
AND, from of all places, the University of Chicago, we see something called the
Transnationalism Project. You heard it right.
The Transnationalism
Project's current research projects are the following:
- Global
Governance - The multiplication of cross-border governance
mechanisms: implications for democracy and global order, and
- Migration - The interdisciplinary study of international migration,
conducted in conjunction with the Human Rights Program
Barack Obama's
latest personnel move?
Harold Hongju Koh
is stepping down from the deanship at Yale Law School. President Obama
is nominating Dean Koh to serve as the Legal Adviser of the U.S.
Department of State. Koh is a leading proponent of transnationalism, which would subordinate
American national interests to perceived global interests. In
his new post, Koh would be well positioned to turn his academic
theories into reality—threatening severe damage to American sovereignty
and subjecting American citizens to rule by a transnational elite of
left-wing lawyers appointed to various international bodies.
My question to every politician and media type will be, "do you think international law trumps the US Constitution?"
