Subject:          World government/world education - scholarly report


Dear All,


I've found a fascinating site -- at UT Austin of all places, Texas' hotbed
of liberalism! The site
(http://www.engr.utexas.edu/cofe/governance/Default.htm) is researched and
written by academics and is heavily footnoted. At first glance of the table
of contents, I thought this site was going to be in favor of world
government. In fact, it gives a "connect the historical dots" rendition of
how and why certain bodies are leading us toward world government and world
education. This research paper ought to be printed and kept close at hand
for reference.

Here's an excerpt:




Five years later, in testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, CFR member James Warburg said: "We shall have world government
whether or not you like it --by conquest or consent."18


The ink on the UN Charter had not yet dried when the Charter for UNESCO
(United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization) was
presented in London, November, 1945. UNESCO swallowed and expanded the
Paris-based International Institute for Intellectual Cooperation which was
a holdover from the League of Nations. Julian Huxley was the prime mover of
UNESCO and served as its first Director-General. Huxley had served on
Britain's Population Investigation Commission before World War II and was
vice president of the Eugenics Society from 1937 to 1944. In a 1947
document entitled UNESCO: Its Purpose and Its Philosophy, Huxley wrote:


"Thus even though it is quite true that any radical eugenic policy will be
for many years politically and psychologically impossible, it will be
important for UNESCO to see that the eugenic problem is examined with the
greatest care, and that the public mind is informed of the issues at stake
so that much that now is unthinkable may at least become thinkable."19


UNESCO's primary function is set forth in its Charter: "Since wars begin in
the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defenses of peace must
be constructed." UNESCO was created to construct a world-wide education
program to prepare the world for global governance. UNESCO advisor,
Bertrand Russell, writing for the UNESCO Journal, The Impact of Science on
Society, said: "Every government that has been in control of education for
a generation will be able to control its subjects securely without the need
of armies or policemen . . . ."20 The National Education Association was a
major advocate for UNESCO. In a 1942 article in the NEA Journal, written by
Joy Elmer Morgan, the NEA called for " . . . certain world agencies of
administration such as: a police force; a board of education . . .."


A year later in London, the Conference of Allied Ministers of Education
called for a United Nations Bureau of Education. UNESCO became the Board of
Education for the world.  (see:  http://www.unicc.org/ibe/)
