Yup.. Www.StopTheNorthAmericanUnion.Com ... there is so much of this going on it is sad. You know RT if you wish to know the modern beginnings of this elitist plan pick up the little paperback book by John Robbison "Proofs of a Conspiracy" printed in 1879. You'll enjoy this brother...
1879? So if that book was written then, then the globalist agenda probably started some years before then, at least not long after the Civil War?
During Grant's administration, there was a financial crisis that was known as "Black Friday." There were a bunch of financial crisis' during his administration. Do you know if all of the "robber barron's" were globalists?
Actually, Lubab just sent me a pm on a related subject "Skull and Bones" re: Free Masonry. It is known that the Illuminati was started in the late 1760's by Adam Weishaupt, most state specifically 1776, with the goals of world socialism: "Globalism". I'd say it started much earlier in all honesty. Now if you look around Europe and the various revolutions and who was behind them one can draw conclusions. So you are most likely right as to your first question.
During Grant's administration there was financial crisis for which many say were "engineered". Possible? Perhaps as were the engineered Holocaust, starvations in the Ukrane and the millions dead under Mao's "Great Leap Forward". The Robber Baron, or Industrialist:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robber_baron_(industrialist) may not have all been "globalists" but since the end goal of Capitalism is to "own ones competition": Monopoly, it makes absolute sense. If one wishes to state the Cosimo deMedici, Jacob Fugger, Francis Drake, John Law, Wallenstein, Amshel/Nathan Rothschild, Thomas Gresham, Robert Owen, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and all the way through J.P. Morgan and J.D. Rockefeller one could arrive at the same conclusion: amoral capitalists looking solely towards increased personal gain. The converse side of the super "capitalist" coin was put foward by Ayn Rand in her fabulous tome "Atlas Shrugged" in that these are the people that, on the one hand seek power and money/profits but on the other take the risks, employ millions of people and provide the productive engine behind indiviualism: Capitalism. The Anti-Trust/Monopoly laws were a good thing...if followed. Competition is a good thing but at the "super" capitalist level, the competition is baught out, legislated as "illegal" through bribery of politicians or destroyed. The great example of our times in "Global Warming". This fraud restricts the advancement of the productive West for the slave labor and anti-competition/individualism/competition of the despotic dictatorships of the East/Turd World...
The last question, as related to the aforementioned names as being "robber barons"...probably in the case that, their goals are to own their entire industries and as things become more corrupt one finds more and more back room dealings between politicians, financiers and industrialists to conclude that they would be "globalists": International Socialsits as they are the "Polit bureau".
