Guest Post: The Slow Death Of The Old Global Order

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by Robert Merry via The National Interest,

In the spring of 2012, The National Interest produced a special issue under the rubric of “The Crisis of the Old Order: The Crumbling Status Quo at Home and Abroad.” The thesis was that the old era of relative global stability, forged through the crucibles of the Great Depression and World War II, was coming unglued. In introducing the broad topic to readers, TNI editors wrote, “Only through a historical perspective can we fully understand the profound developments of our time and glean, perhaps only dimly, where they are taking us. One thing is clear: they are taking us into a new era. The only question is how much disruption, chaos and bloodshed will attend the transition from the Old Order to whatever emerges to replace it.”

Since publication of that special issue of the magazine, events have seemed to bolster the thesis that the current global situation and the American domestic political situation are inherently unstable, and stability will return only with the emergence of some kind of new order. Leaving aside the U.S. domestic scene for purposes of this digression, the gathering global crisis got a penetrating survey the other day from William Pfaff, the longtime geopolitical analyst for the International Herald Tribune (recently renamed the International New York Times).

Pfaff said the world faces an “international disorder unmatched since the interwar 1930s,” fostered by the ongoing Ukraine crisis, the “self-destructive forces” of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, growing instability within the world of Islam, and the “serious risk of collapse” of the European Union. Pfaff notes with a small measure of relief that the world isn’t beset these days by ideological dictatorships on the march or any new waves of totalitarianism. Today’s problems, he says, are merely “confusion, incompetence, and intellectual and moral disorder.” He adds: “But these are bad enough, in an over-armed world.”

What’s most troubling about all this is that today’s national leaders seem utterly lacking in any serious consciousness of just how dangerous the global situation is. The current Ukraine crisis , for example, is the product of a long-term Western tendency (the word “strategy" hardly qualifies here, given the lack of any coherent logic involved) to push eastward through what once were the buffer territories of Eastern Europe and press right up to the Russian border.

Though highly provocative, this didn’t generate any serious crisis when Russia remained weak after the Soviet collapse and the eastward push didn’t extend into territories that for centuries had been part of Russia’s traditional sphere of influence. But the United States, European Union and NATO remained blithely unmindful of the consequences when they kept pushing as Russia gained sufficient power to resist incursions into its areas of crucial national interest. What were the leaders of these Western entities thinking?

Pfaff puts that question a little differently: “Why Should Slavic and Orthodox-Uniate Ukraine, its history painfully intertwined with Russia’s, be made a member of what was and still essentially is Charlemagne’s post–Roman Europe?” With one sentence he places today’s sordid events surrounding Ukraine into a broad historical perspective of more than a millennium.

For that matter, adds Pfaff, “Why does Turkey belong in Christian Europe?" He wonders if President Obama, should he be asked such questions, could give a considered and historically grounded answer. “Or does the machinery of foreign-policy making grind relentlessly along behind Mr. Obama’s back, or beyond his attention?”

Good question. And it’s particularly intriguing given the machinations of that meddling bureaucrat, Victoria Nuland, Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, who worked behind the scenes  to foment the uprising that eventually ousted the duly-elected Ukrainian president, Viktor Yanukovych. She even identified the man who should replace Yanukovych after his ouster and—presto!—he did indeed emerge as Ukraine’s interim leader. It turns out that the United States has spent some $5 billion in fostering “democratic institutions” in Ukraine designed to nudge the country away from Russian sway.

Saner heads would have understood just how dangerous this kind of activity can be. And so some questions intrude: Did anyone in the State Department inform President Obama that this was going on? If anyone had, would the president or his informant have understood the potentially incendiary nature of such diplomatic intrusiveness? Or was the president simply left in the dark, as Pfaff has suggested, while his minions engaged in activity destined to create an unnecessary crisis in U.S.-Russian relations and possibly unleash destabilizing ethnic tensions in a crucial corner of the world?

For historical perspective, it’s worth noting that we look back now with a certain disdain upon the heads of state grappling with events leading to World War I. Those events ended a century of relative stability and peace in Europe, and the men who let that grand epoch pass are seen in history as hapless, out of touch, even stupid. In fact, they weren’t stupid, but they were out of touch and that rendered them hapless in the face of events they didn’t understand.

President Obama and those around him aren’t stupid either, but they don’t seem to understand the nature of our time and the challenges posed by a fading era. They seem incapable of grappling with the kinds of broad historical questions posed by William Pfaff.

But the problem doesn’t reside only with the current administration. There seems to be a zeitgeist in play that retards the ability of our leaders and intellectuals to grasp the transformative nature of our time and hence the havoc besetting the globe. Pfaff is equally hard on George W. Bush and his father, George H. W. Bush, particularly regarding what he calls “the Muslim conflagration.” He writes: “Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Pakistan—in all of them, a President Bush, or President Obama, together with his accomplices, has passed their way, sowing annihilation."

He’s right, of course, and equally correct in dismissing the ongoing efforts by U.S. officials to find a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict “in the face of the manifest unwillingness of Israel to allow the conflict to be solved on any terms that do not expel all the Palestinians from the Palestinian Occupied Territories, and award these to Israel (God’s lands, therefore Zionist Israel’s: Sheldon Adelson, sales agent)."

One could argue that it isn’t in America’s interest to push Israel on this matter, though that is eminently debatable. More to the point, though, is the haplessness of a nation continually going back to the well with high expectations of finding water, when in fact the well has been dry for decades. That kind of behavior by any nation denotes a clear lack of seriousness.

Seriousness is what the times call for. We are living through a crisis of the old order, and it demands new thinking, new cautions, new understandings of the profound challenges of this pregnant historical interregnum. If Western leaders continue along the course they’ve been on in the post-Cold War period, they are likely to go down in history in much the same light as those sadly obtuse leaders who presided over the onset of World War I.

Well, such serious shit is kinda hard to comprehend and master when you're on the golf course. But even if O'drama wasn't out there swingin' his club, could he figger this out? Doubt it.

That is the most ass-tard statement of the day. If they don't sell them, then they hand them out. The question is HOW they hand them out. If you think there is no corruption in the process, ever, then you are a maroon, quite clearly. If there is some corruption in the process, which there is, why would it not be exercised on behalf of the ascendancy of Clinton?

One more time.

full marks ebworthen, politics is distraction,follow the money.

The world's most indebted nation,USA, and the world's most thoroughly and heavily armed nation,USA is in terminal crisis.

Gone,in 40 years,from world's biggest creditor nation,to world's biggest debtor nation.And by a fair stretch.

So.what to do? How to give our now worthless currency some semblance of legitimacy?

Simple,until now,that is.

Have Oil,Gas,and most of the world's resources only able to be traded using $US. The Petrodollar;and ever since the Coup in Iran in mid fifties,but especially since Kissinger and Nixon,this has been how it's been done.

Now, Putin via Gazprom has decided Russia no longer wants to play the game of prop up the USA,which may mean end of petrodollar,and end of indebted USA.

Of course,the MIC, neo-con, facsist, bankster cabal will not be going quietly..

That is always the same story with 'americans'. They give out a blatantly distorted version of reality and they expect the listeners to submit. It is a litmus test: those who do not comply with the blatantly distorted vision are against them.
Join the group, bro, pick your side because for 'americans', the group is all.

Wasnt it the same think tank stuff that, the last time, in order to establish the benefitial character of pax americana, that goes with any massacre, joyfully dismissed the 6 million dead people in the Kongo war, started with the approval of the US American negro susan rice?

It keeps going with those accomodation with reality

The 'american' EU is the post carolingian empire and why should turkey be part of Europe...

Then why should Spain, Sicilia be part of the 'american' EU? In the times of the post empire, they were muslim territories.

Etc...

'Americans' cant face reality, they always require to fabricate a distorted vision of reality. As they keep doing that, it keeps snowballing because they bring changes on their perverted vision. Then it goes into the past and then, they turn this past into a fabled past to even force more changes based on distorted visions.

This is an 'american' world. Hedge accordingly.

The death of the old global order?

What old global order?

Accross history, global orders have been scarce because people did not know that the world could be global.

'Americans' were the first to set a global order.

Since then, they have relentlessly removed anything that went on their path. Especially, past orders that were not global.

'Americans' have been making globalization.

This is not the end of the former global order, that is the continuation of the 'american' order which is by design global.

actually we are still in the Globalization 2.0 World Order

the Globalization 1.0 World Order was under the British Empire from 1815 to 1914, and was interrupted by two world wars and their aftermaths

it's a whole century where America was not a dominant player, and where Britain ruled the seas and all trade on them

the very word "global" is very, very British, and was used extensively in that century, which has many parallels with the later 2.0 version

Globalization is ending. There are only few places where 'americans' have no fully plunged their clutches in.

There is no post Roman Europe. The Roman Empire remains with successive branches such as the Spanish, English and Amerikan. Russia and China are removing themselves from Vatican control and the Empire is making sure they do not go far. What many prefer to call incompetent and out of touch can be much better understood as obedience to those who "own" the planet.

Always remember, THEY operate in a self inflected constant mode of stealth. Can you imagine the constant pressure they put themselves under to stay off the radar ?

In the UK, some jobs in the professions simply go "hand in hand" as I have found out to my personal cost, simply by abstaining and refusing to stand on the square. "Come to an open day, they said, run it past your wife, there is nothing to fear !"

You would have to be a complete tool not to be able to join up the dots, the symbolism is everywhere around us in corporate logos, but to be honest, it is an exaggerated show of strength, the masses due to the web have woke up, but do not think this is not part of the grand plan, as Disraeli said, the world is governed by very different personages to those who think they know.

Look at the clubs, Bilderberg (EU steering committee), Club of Rome (started the big push on global warming in 1990' despite the world being in a state of Global Cooling since the 70's and now we are in a ridiculous phase of Climate Change where it can get hotter or cooler in the future !), the BBC which is a mouthpiece to the global Zionist Illuminist agenda to continue driving towards a New World Order.

They simply promote from within, marry from within and at a higher level describe themselves as stakeholders in a grand idea. They will move new faces into new chairs to delude the public as they have for centuries.

£ sterling and the US dollar is what they are protecting before they can advance to a new global currency. Short steps every week, every year to advance their goals over centuries of skulduggery.

Want to read a good book, start with "The Creature of Jekyll Island"' which proves the Fed reserve is as federal as Federal Express, then move onto Carroll Quigley's "Tragedy of Hope" which describes the hidden hand (Quigley was a personal tutor to Rhodes scholar Bill Clinton), then try John Perkins "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" which shows you their modus operandi in formenting coups and asset stripping nations and building trans national and impenetrable trade bodies to keep the jig alive.

The knowledge will disturb you but after releasing the anger of this knowledge, you will pick up more "light" here than you will in a role play exercise at your local lodge.

Smile, you are reading Zero Hedge, you have already chosen the right door to walk through to become a better man, you don''t need to play their game, just sit back and watch it happen before your eyes and try to wake up a few should to make their life a little bit better.

Pretty much what I've been telling my more paranoid amigos for years...know what you can and can't control, then surround yourself with people you love, prepare yourself a little, get through your days as happy as possible and sit back and enjoy the ride while drinking your favorite frio cervesa. 

Going out on the street and "protesting" won't help...and arguably might hurt...you will be demonized and the reaction to you will just be used to validate the failed 'order'.  Wait for your opportunities.  Washington understood that you can't win a war if your army is all dead because you imagined 'honor' required suicidal reactions to greater force. 

I'm glad the author threw in that we are in a "transformational" period and noted they are chaotic and bloody at times...but they do create power vacuums within which liberty can once again appear.  Nothing is written in stone...the elites do turn over during transformational times.  Sure, you can mark the lineage of some powerful families over centuries and point to their continued power (think Rothschild for ex.), but they are the exceptions and not the rule.  How many elites in 16th and 17th c. Europe adapted and maintained power...a tiny tiny few.  And no one is guaranteed to make it through this time either...AND they know this and are scared shitless.

There has to be something very odd in Britain when Prince Charles can have 20+ secret meetings with government ministers and not one of them is reported anywhere in the media and the agendas were even more secret. All that when the British Monarchy is not permitted to meddle in politics.

I have always said, the Cromwell civil wars were not really about taking power back to the people from a despotic, unelected king, but about transferring power from one faction of the unelected ruling elites to another. It worked. And the British people fell for it, in just the same way today that they fall for the notion of there being two political parties when in fact they're two faces of the same old same old.

A good article which could be summed up by admitting that Western leaders, progressively since 1945, have become ever more incompetent and driven by agendas which stay hidden until they get into office, Some of which are undoubtedly criminal, influenced or controlled by unknown, unelected people in the shadows who never present themselves for any sort of election.

This is what we have seen from USG foreign policy for years. Iraq, Libya, Syria and now Ukraine are simply the latest examples of secret expansionist/destructive agendas that transcend political parties and which have never been sanctioned by the American people. They fly in the face of democratic accountability.

And whilst the USG is by far the largest peddler of secret agendas, it is certainly not the only one. The UK, Europe, Canada and Australia are all at it too. There is a loosely co-ordinated agenda to roll back democracy and usher in an era of authoritarian government. The UN, IMF, OECD, WB and other unelected international organisations all play their part.

Whichever Western country one looks at, one sees domestic and foreign policies which beggar belief and which create exactly the consequences that wiser heads warned of. Time and time again. It is this which has always lead me to assert that governments are out of control.

Starting point is

Nafta and EU represent just under half the worlds economy,

Nato countries accounts for 70% of worlds military spending.

Nato countries have combined populations of 900 million.

There are many other large economic powers also aligned with the above Soth Korea, Japan. Australia and others pushing all of the above numbers even higher.

Apparantly our system has made the EU so weak they can't even defend themselves. Sort of like the Venetians, just give him a country or two and maybe Vlad will go away. Not likely, he's smarter than that and has far greater ambition, I think. In spite of WWII this is the same thinking the best minds could come up with then and it didn't work and now it won't work. I'm thinking a large part of the EU is a write off. Back to the middle ages or them! Back in the US we have some time to get our house in order and get rid of the bankers that got us in this mess, but not that much time. This is going to get intresting as our government trys to grab everything that isn't tied down to rehypothicate it to eternity for one more fix of easy fiat. The trouble is, they are being squeezed in the EU by Vlad and in the US by citizens who have had enough. Desperate they are. I've always thought once this administration is gone by whatever means the money will be gone the responsible people will have to rebuild some sort of responsible civilization. Pass the popcorn

The EU? What are their dependency on energy imports?

'Americans' came with the idea they were something special in humankind, that they could overcome the environment.

Growth is a matter of policy for 'americans', not support from an environment.

So now, Europe's traditional backyard, Africa, is being challenged by the Chinese and Indians moving inland and even worse, this continent is well on the path of depletion of resources.

The only special 'americans' have is how fast they can consume. They beat anyone else at consumption.

'Americans' in a bit more of two hundreds years have managed to put the entire humankind of the brink of resources exhaustion. They single handedly managed the trick.

Hats to the 'americans', and their 'americanism', the undertaker of humanity.

All I want to do is own all the Silver and Gold. Bankster collapse on a massive scale is inevitable. They’ll do it themselves within a few years. All I have to do is wait.” gna gna gna ...

The first paragraph is pricelessly accurately, but the details are a bit less spot on. You'll begin to see new competing financial systems, most notably the FX and gold markets, splintering away from the old and forming new platforms among equitable regional trading partners, Russia, China India, BRICs essentially. With the EU as the prize.

The vast majority of any group, tribe, state, nation, or empire, are the unenlightened, and the demise of all these is due this fact.- Aristotle

I suppose this would apply to our global community as well.

The Democrats wrongly blamed Bush for almost everything.  But I do attribute one thing to Bush that the US will eventually regret: creating a political environment where a two-bit demagogue like Barrack Obama could get elected.

All US presidents are puppets. Being wrongly blamed is only a sensible assertion when you admit the bankers & Generals, CIA, choose them all.

I'm sorry, but this article misses the point.  The author overlooks the fact that the current global situation is part of the plan instituted by the Rothschild group and their central bankers, meaning, the one-world-govt crowd.

All that you see happening is no accident or coincidence.  Now that the technology exists, these folks are moving forward to control the world.  If you look at events in that light, suddenly things make sense.  It's just a matter of time until they'll need to reduce global population dramatically.

actually increase.
Slaves are the heart & soul of the empire.
Reduced population is opposite of their goal. By pretending they want it and  having the Vatican push for more babies they hope to vastly increase world population. starving, begging, desperate people will borrow anything from the elites and will be slaves in debt forever.
The key then is to reduce life-span, not population, so you can't ever live long enough to learn why you need to resist, rise up, refuse and revolt.

Your own actions are reducing global population by all the people saying global warming is a hoax. As long as people believe it's a hoax the long-term survival of the species is compromised.

If life-spans are reduced instead and more babies are made, slavery in the empire lives on forever in the name of Rothschild. You do their bidding by making babies you can't afford. You condemn all your descendents to their slavery.

To bring some kind of justice to Palastine, all that is necessary is for members of congress to find their anatomy and tell their constituents that they elected him to represent them and not some foreign country.  Vast amounts of money will flow to Zionist candidates, but they can be identified and defanged.  After all, the Jewish population of the US is only about two percent and the Zionist population a fraction of that.
