I can't really understand why groups like the John Birch Society and their 
followers are so upset about globalism. The JBS claims to be "Americanist", 
or at least very patriotic toward the USA. From every post I've seen about 
the Evil CFR / Trilateral Commission, assuming the *very worst* about the 
groups, the One World Government would have its capitol in Washington, DC.

Personally, I don't think these groups are much more than social clubs with 
a civic/academic bent. C. Wright Mill's *The Power Elite* seems to have come 
closer to the point -- that "conspiracies" are just cliques in a political 
culture.

I'm sure there are plenty of things to worry about from the circles of power 
throughout the world. I greatly doubt "globalism" is one of them.

MdF. What About The Global Conspiracy To Destroy My DISHWASHER ?
