UK's Brown: Now is the time to build global society
07:03 PM EST
LONDON (Reuters) - The international financial crisis has given world leaders a unique opportunity to create a truly global society, Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown will say in a keynote foreign policy speech on Monday.

In his annual speech at the Lord Mayor's Banquet, Brown -- who has spearheaded calls for the reform of international financial institutions -- will say Britain, the United States and Europe are key to forging a new world order.

"The alliance between Britain and the U.S. -- and more broadly between Europe and the U.S. -- can and must provide leadership, not in order to make the rules ourselves, but to lead the global effort to build a stronger and more just international order," an excerpt from the speech says.

Brown and other leaders meet in Washington next weekend to discuss longer term solutions for dealing with economic issues following a series of coordinated moves on interest rates and to recapitalize banks in the wake of the financial crisis.

"Uniquely in this global age, it is now in our power to come together so that 2008 is remembered not just for the failure of a financial crash that engulfed the world but for the resilience and optimism with which we faced the storm, endured it and prevailed," Brown will say in his speech on Monday evening.

"...And if we learn from our experience of turning unity of purpose into unity of action, we can together seize this moment of change in our world to create a truly global society."

According to a summary of the speech released by his office, Brown will set out five great challenges the world faces.

These are: terrorism and extremism and the need to reassert faith in democracy; the global economy; climate change; conflict and mechanisms for rebuilding states after conflict; and meeting goals on tackling poverty and disease.

Brown will also identify five stages for tackling the economy, starting with recapitalizing banks so they can resume lending to families and businesses, and better international co-ordination of fiscal and monetary policy.

He also wants immediate action to stop the spread of the financial crisis to middle-income countries, with a new facility for the International Monetary Fund, and agreement on a global trade deal, as well as reform of the global financial system.

"My message is that we must be: internationalist not protectionist; interventionist not neutral; progressive not reactive; and forward looking not frozen by events. We can seize the moment and in doing so build a truly global society."

If you transies want to do this you must remember to put huge, in I do mean huge checks and balances on this power. It can be used for great evils and hurt millions of people. The day you can prove that you can run something like this with in a standard of check and balances; the day you can show that you can be respectful to the rights of us the people, then maybe just maybe I will give you a second of thought. The day you can clean up the mess called the UN into a respectable organizion that can be trusted maybe.

Well, we have just the president to see to that. aren't we lucky.

LONDON (Reuters) - The international financial crisis has given world leaders a unique opportunity to create a truly global society,

Given them the opportunity? More like the Globalists engineered this crises to give themselves the opportunity to increase their power.

Seems like we threw a wrench into their North American Union and Amero plans, so they are just skipping that and going directly to the One World Currency.

We slown it down, but I doubt we stoped it. Obama will push it down our throats knowing full well that much of this nation will allow it to happen,yes sire most of this nation cares more about their foot ball and play boy, I'm scared to say. These people are not scared with that army between them and us.

I've been reading about other forms of government. I believe they will go with the Canada, UK form. With the upper house/senate that they likely will transform the general assembly into. I also expect they will throw a bone to the people and allow elections of a much larger "lower house" maybe over a thousand members. In which case, I expect the majority likely very antiAmerican will be "prime minister". But of course this is just guess work. Les pray this never happens.

Obama any way you look at it will be very very bad for us. In they are starting to come out in speaking the way they feel. They feel that it is safe to do so now.
