There is a conspiracy by a group a powerful people to establish a one world government on Earth.

It looks as if my opponent has forfeited another round, which is unfortunate. I hope my opponent is ok, and I also wish him better luck in other debates. I don't think my opponent will be back for the final round, but I suppose I should still post some information here for the Pro side of the debate. ---- I wanted to touch on the overall big picture for a moment. If a person was to just look at each item I have listed one at a time, then they could probably be explained in a number of different ways and that they happened for any number of reasons. BUT what Pro has attempted to do is to show a "Pattern" of what is going on, and to show that all of these seemingly individual happenings are actually related and connected. And what all these many things are connected to is the foundation of a New World Order, a global government. For example if you just take one happening like that in 1963 the look of the dollar bill was changed, and on the back it was written (in Latin) "Announcing the birth of the New World Order" "Annuit Coeptis" = announcing the birth of "Novus Ordo Seclorum" = new order of the world (new world order) A person could probably shrug that off as just one little thing. BUT coupled with all of the many other evidences of things that are happening (things like: the formation of the EU, all the talk of the NAU. .. all of the many global organizations: CFR, UN, WTO, WHO, Trilateral Commission, IMF, World Bank, Bilderberger etc. .. , the economic hitmen talks, the coups that have happened, the bankruptcies of nations (like Iceland), the formation of the FED, presidential assassinations, people writing about the NWO (Quigley for ex),and all the other events and hints and the economic crises where the G20 basically threatens anyone who practices "protectionism" (aka - nationalism) etc. .. ). Then it actually just makes the picture become that much more clear of why that saying is really on the back of our currency, and that reason is not mere "coincidence" it is because it has been planned that way (in secret) as a conspiracy, and now the fruits of the conspiracy are coming into view. And what is coming into view? A New World Order. So what Pro is suggesting is in order to see this clearly one must see the big picture and the inter-relatedness of many events. Further, there has been a comparison made by Naomi Wolfe of civilizations that have been brought into fascism. She has identified 10 steps that are always taken. These 10 steps are happening in the USA. They are explained in greater detail on the website of how each item relates to what is currently happening in the USA: 1 Create a terrifying enemy 2 Create secret prisons 3 Create a paramilitary force 4 Set up an internal surveillance system 5 Harass citizens' groups 6 Engage in arbitrary detention and release 7 Target key individuals 8 Control the press 9 Dissent equals treason 10 Suspend the rule of law . http://www.guardian.co.uk... ---- Pro would also like to introduce the concept of "soft-law". "Soft law instruments are usually considered as non-binding agreements which nevertheless hold much potential for morphing into "hard law" in the future. This "hardening" of soft law may happen in two different ways. .. " "In international law, the terminology of "soft law" remains relatively controversial because there are some international practitioners do not accept its existence and for others, there is quite some confusion as to its status in the realm of law" The UN is actually used as an EXAMPLE of soft law on this site "In the context of international law, the term "soft law" covers such elements as: Most Resolutions and Declarations of the UN General Assembly, for example, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights;" . http://en.wikipedia.org... The UN is being set up as a world governing body. By using soft law it can become standard practice to defer to the laws of the UN (having precedence over laws of other nations) and thus make the transition into a world governing body easier to accomplish. This is already taking place. ---- As far as the definition of "conspiracy", Pro touched on the point of "secret" last round in depth, and now Pro would like to talk in depth a bit more about the concept of "unlawfulness" and show the unlawfulness of what is taking place with regard to what is happening with the NWO agenda. -In Rd. 2 (under point 1) Pro already talked about how meetings between certain US officials in secret with others about US policy is illegal. -Pro has also talked about in Rd. 2 that the President when taking the oath of office promises to uphold the constitution of the United States and if the president, or any entity in the USA puts global considerations ahead of upholding and obeying the constitution then it is in violation of the supreme law of the land and therefore illegal. -There are also various laws that just seem routinely to be broken and at any time could probably be examined in a court of law (but with the way the judges have been ruling it may not be worth the effort). Laws such as 18USC241 which deals with conspiracies to hinder a person's rights (and is a federal crime punishable by up to 10 years). Would not the Patriot Act fall under this law? (illegal wiretapping without probable cause / no warrant needed by a judge). My point is that however the judges managed to twist and distort the law to get the desired outcome, the fact is that it truly does not reflect the original intent of the Constitutional freedoms which should be kept by the people, and therefore is in fact illegal. -The Defense Authorization Act of 2006. This act allows the President to declare martial law for basically any reason. "The new law expands the list of pretexts to include "natural disaster, epidemic, or other serious public health emergency, terrorist attack or incident, or other condition" — and such a "condition" is not defined or limited" . http://www.fff.org... -We do not have to get into entangling alliances, that is one of the things the founding fathers warned us about to avoid. Their general feeling on the matter of international relations was generally to go by the saying "Trade with all, treaties with none" - Jefferson(? ), so the fact that we even have these treaties like NAFTA and the SPP etc. .. is really just because their are ulterior motives. What ulterior motives? Well let's examine the SPP a bit more with a video clip that talks about it. The Security and Prosperity Partnership Act is basically a stepping stone to help create a North American Union. . http://www.youtube.com... However, there was some talk about border security. .. they made sure to talk about the security of Mexico's SOUTHERN border. Certainly placing the USA into a North American Union is in violation of the Constitution, and therefore illegal. "We are more concerned about the border between N. and S. Korea than we are about our border between the USA and Mexico. " -Ron Paul ---- I understand if some readers still will not accept the point of view that Pro has provided, but still I would hope for fair voting and also I would hope that there has been at least a slight (if not more) acceptance of the idea that there actually could be this conspiracy taking place. Pro would also offer a standard of proof to consider for the readers: There is no "set" way that a reader has to weigh the evidences, for example: in criminal cases vs. civil cases there are differences in the "burden of proof" ex:"no reasonable doubt" but this heavy standard of proof doesn't necessarily have to be applied to this topic (that would be a very difficult standard to achieve - if not impossible), but if there are a lot of things that are happening that point to a certain conclusion then that is what is probably happening. ..
