6 CORE CLAIMS

1. Globalization Is About the Liberalization and Global Integration of Markets (not an ideology) “in other
words the concrete outcomes of market interactions are neither intended nor forseen, but are the result
of the workings of what Adam Smith famously called the ‘invisible happen'” yet Globalists usuaully
convey the assertion that globalization is integration of markets in the form of moral imperatives “The
concept of ‘free trade’ arose as a moral principle even before it became a pillar of economics”- George
Bush

2. Globalization is Inveitable and Irrerversible Despite the presupposition that the market is based on
independent inter-subjective decisions of independent and individual rational actors within a liberally
organized democratic society, it is still spoken of within a marxist hegelian determinism. By seeing
globalization as the natural historical local of the universes organization principles, it is passively
accepted yet actively pursued! President Clinton on US Foreign Policy “Today we must embrace the
inexorable logic of globalization– that everything from the strength of our economy to the safety of our
cities, to the health of our people, depends on events not only within our borders, but half way a world
away”

3. Nobody is in Charge of Globalization “The great beauty of globalization is that no one is in control. The
great beauty of globalization is that it is not controlled by any individual, any government, any
institution” – Robert Hormats, vice chairman of Goldman sachs The meetings, the groups, the
foundations, that all work on spreading neoliberal principles and new world order principles have been
deeply rooted in ancient history.

4. Globalization Benefits Everyone g-7 summit of 1996, speaking in a Jacobin spirit “Economic growth
and progress in today’s interdependent world is bound up with the process of globalization.
Globalization provides great opportunities for the future, not only for our countries, but for all others
too. Its many positive aspects include an unprecedented expansion of investment and trade; the
opening up to international trade of the world’s most populous regions and opportunities for more
developing countries to improve their standards of living; the increasingly rapid dissemination of
information, technological innovation, and the proliferation of skilled jobs. These characteristics of
globalization have led to a considerable expansion of wealth and prosperity in the world. Hence we are
convinced that the process of globalization is a source of hope for the future”

5. Globalization Furthers the Spread of Democracy in The World The globalist claim is anchored in the
neoliberal assertion that freedom, free markets, free trade and democracy are synonymous terms. This
focus on the act of voting– in which equality prevails only in the formal sense– helps to obscure the
conditions of inequality reflected in existing asymmetrical power relations in society.

6. Globalization Requires War on Terror Daniel Griswold, Associate Director of the Cato Institute (A
Major DC5 Think Tank) “An essential part of any plan to establish freedom in Iraq should be a
commitment to a free market and the instutions that support it, including a commitment to free trade…
The technology dynamism, and openness for our own market helped us win this war; if spread to Iraq,
could help us win the peace” Robert Kaplan reminds his readers “The purpose of US power is not power
itself; it is the fundamentally liberal purpose of sustaining the key characteristics of an orderly world.
Those characteristics include basic political stability; the idea of liberty, pragmaticaly conceived; respect
for property; economic freedom; and representative government. At this moment in time it is American
power, and American Power only, that can serve as an organizing principle for the worldwide expansion
of a liberal civil society” – The Hard Edge of American Values
