Invisible Empire: A New World Order Defined Page #6

---

Defense Secretary Dick Cheney

has approved a revised draft

of a policy document

on the New World Order.

The Pentagon is backing off

a controversial earlier draft

and has abandoned a

one-superpower strategy.

The final document puts more emphasis

on international alliances

and organizations.

This would become an

unprecedented time period

for people all over the

globe to discuss at length

what the New World Order meant to them.

People within the media:

Does anybody want to talk

about the New World Order?

Is there a New World Order

out there or is this a,

a vision that exists in the...

He does have his vision;

there's no doubt about that.

But does that exist

in the President's mind

or does it exist out there in reality.

This President sees this

episode as the first test case,

as the first example for the New

World Order he is trying to organize.

Some people have called

it the New World Disorder

and there's a lot of truth to that.

University and Institutional Chairs

I mean, we're talking a New

World Order at Georgetown,

and we'd like to very much be a

part of it and continue to live.

This is a world that that is likely

to be dominated in the near future,

and perhaps longer, by the Gulf

War and the New World Order,

which is the buzzword of the moment.

So the secret of a New World Order...

and at this point it's just a slogan

but it does have some

historical background

in terms that orders have

succeeded each other over time

the secret of this is to learn

how to use coalitions.

We are effective in the United Nations.

People within Government

George Bush has invoked a New World Order

without enunciating a

new American purpose.

The President has still failed

to articulate clear goals

for our nation's foreign

policy in this new age.

I find the term New World

Order very revolting,

and not only historically

but politically today.

I think Hodding is absolutely

right and the actions

of the administration just after

annunciation of the New World Order

put the lie to the fact

there is any real substance

behind what they say is New World Order.

The first act of the New

World Order was a.) to make war

and then b.) was to

sell arms all over again.

Is there a New World Order?

We know certainly that George Bush has

copyrighted the term at this point.

In the aftermath of this war

though, is it an empty vessel

into which something will be poured?

Is it the appropriate term to use?

Is it going to be a New World Order

or will disorder be just as significant

in this process as we look ahead;

and let's start with Madeleine.

I think that we have, in fact,

kind of had this term thrown at us
