Invisible Empire: A New World Order Defined Page #4

---

for a New World Order of his era.

He has called for it time and time again

in policy papers, meetings and interviews.

Time magazine recognized

both Nixon and Kissinger

as Men Of The Year after announcing

their New World Order in China.

However, they were

working on it long before.

In these once classified documents,

they both discuss the New Order

with the President of Indonesia.

Mainstream media was even

critical of Kissinger's vision

in the early seventies.

In ragged, spasmodic fashion a New

World Order is coming into being,

but it looks less and less like

the World Order that Mr. Kissinger

had constructed in his own mind.

Kissinger's New World Order would

fall under the radar for some time.

However, it saw a vast revival

during the first Bush administration.

Here is Brent Scowcroft, former

Vice-Chairman of Kissinger Associates,

and former National Security Adviser

under both Ford and Bush Senior

as he discusses the New World Order:

Looking at the subtitle this morning,

Are we ready for the New World Order?

gives me something of the shudders,

that phrase New World Order I'm afraid I'm

partly responsible for resurrecting.

To me, what that symbolized

was perhaps a fundamental change

in the character, character of our

response to national security issues.

Here Charlie Rose asks Scowcroft,

Kissinger and former National

Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski,

if we are living in a New World Order.

Where are we as we think about this

time in American foreign policy?

Are we at a special moment

which is being redefined,

or are we creating a New World Order?

We're at a moment when

the international system

is in a period of change

like we haven't seen for

several hundred years.

In some parts of the world

the nation-state on which the

existing international system was based

is either giving up

its traditional aspects,

like in Europe or as in the Middle East.

George H. W. Bush would

campaign for a New World Order

like no other President before him.

He would openly discuss it during

his State of the Union address.

What is at stake is more

than one small country.

It is a big idea: a New World Order

where diverse nations are

drawn together in common cause

to achieve the universal

aspirations of mankind.

Again, a unified Europe was a

major goal in creating this Order.

With few exceptions, the

world now stands as one.

A year-and-a-half ago, in Germany,

I said that our goal was

a Europe whole and free.

Tonight, Germany is united.

Europe has become whole and free.

The world can therefore

seize this opportunity

to fulfill the long held

promise of a New World Order.
