Ullman warns that an  extraordinary crisis is needed to preserve the new world  order, which is under threat of being derailed by non-state  actors like Edward Snowden,   writes News Watch.  <\/p>\n<p>    In an     article entitled War on Terror Is not the Only    Threat, Ullman asserts that, tectonic changes are    reshaping the international geostrategic system, arguing that    its not military superpowers like China but non-state actors    like Edward Snowden, Bradley Manning and anonymous hackers who    pose the biggest threat to the 365 year-old Westphalian    system because they are encouraging individuals to become    self-empowered, eviscerating state control.  <\/p>\n<p>    Very few have taken note and fewer have acted on this    realization, notes Ullman, lamenting that information    revolution and instantaneous global communications are    thwarting the new world order announced by U.S. President    George H.W. Bush more than two decades ago.  <\/p>\n<p>    Without an extraordinary crisis, little is likely to be done    to reverse or limit the damage imposed by failed or failing    governance, writes Ullman, implying that only another    9\/11-style cataclysm will enable the state to re-assert its    dominance while containing, reducing and eliminating the    dangers posed by newly empowered non-state actors.  <\/p>\n<p>    Ullman concludes that the elimination of non-state actors and    empowered individuals must be done in order to preserve the    new world order. A summary of their material suggests that the    Atlantic Councils definition of a new world order is a    global technocracy run by a fusion of big government and big    business under which individuality is replaced by transhumanist    singularity.  <\/p>\n<p>    Ullman concludes that the elimination of non-state actors and    empowered individuals must be done in order to preserve the    new world order. A summary of their material suggests that the    Atlantic Councils definition of a new world order is a    global technocracy run by a fusion of big government and big    business under which individuality is replaced by transhumanist    singularity.  <\/p>\n<p>    Ullmans rhetoric sounds somewhat similar to that espoused by    Trilateral Commission co-founder and regular Bilderberg    attendee Zbigniew Brzezinski, who in 2010 told a Council on    Foreign Relations meeting that a global political awakening,    in combination with infighting amongst the elite, was    threatening to derail the move towards a one world government.  <\/p>\n<p>    Ullmans implied call for an extraordinary crisis to    reinvigorate support for state power and big government has    eerie shades of the Project For a New American Centurys 1997    lament that absent some catastrophic catalyzing event  like a    new Pearl Harbor, an expansion of U.S. militarism would have    been impossible.  <\/p>\n<p>    In 2012, Patrick Clawson, member of the influential pro-Israel    Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP) think tank,    also suggested that the United States should launch a staged    provocation to start a war with Iran.  <\/p>\n<p>    Ullmans concern over failing state institutions having their    influence eroded by empowered individuals, primarily via the    Internet, is yet another sign that the elite is panicking over    the global political awakening that has most recently    expressed itself via the actions of people like Edward Snowden,    Julian Assange, Bradley Manning and their growing legion of    supporters.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Read more here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/kavkazcenter.com\/eng\/content\/2014\/02\/04\/18837.shtml\" title=\"add. formats\">add. formats<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Writing for the Atlantic Council, a prominent think tank based in Washington DC, Harlan K.
