40. ''We must believe that it is the darkest before the dawn of a beautiful new world.

We will see it when we believe it." -- Saul Alinsky

“Each of us has the hope to build a New World Order.” -– President Richard Nixon, Hangzhou, China, February 1972

“We will succeed in the Gulf. And when we do, the world community will have sent an enduring warning to any dictator or despot, present or future, who contemplates outlaw aggression. The world can therefore seize this opportunity to fufill the long-held promise of a new world order – where brutality will go unrewarded, and aggression will meet collective resistance.” -– President George HW Bush, State of the Union Address 1991

“How I Learned to Love the New World Order” -– article by Sen. Joseph R. Biden, Jr. Wall Street Journal, April 1992

“The Final Act of the Uruguay Round, marking the conclusion of the most ambitious trade negotiation of our century, will give birth – in Morocco – to the World Trade Organization, the third pillar of the New World Order, along with the United Nations and the International Monetary Fund.” -- Government of Morocco, advertisement, New York Times, April 1994

“Since the Gulf War, since the new World Order, America is now the number one arms dealer in the world.” -– Rob Walton

“The ‘affirmative task’ before us is to “create a New World Order.” -- VP Joe Biden, speech Import Export Bank, April 5, 2013

“If the United Nations once admits that international disputes can be settled by using force, then we will have destroyed the foundation of the organization and our best hope of establishing a world order.” -— Dwight D. Eisenhower

“The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the Government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson.” -— Franklin D. Roosevelt, letter to Col. House, November 21, 1933

And here we are. There are many, many more examples (my personal favorite is Barbara Bush referring to a "brave new world order" thing,) but, more than the quote, the idea is what matters: Money and Power are being employed, not for democracy or the good of We the People, but for the betterment, enrichment and use by a tiny minority, the one percent of one percent. Not only is that undemocratic and un-American, it would be a crime if they didn't own the Supreme Court, too.
