UK PM Brown Announces “New World Order”
America's New Leaders
World leaders on Thursday heralded the G20 summit as the day the world “fought back against the recession” as they put on a show of unity that lifted global markets and mapped out a new future for financial regulation, reported the London Financial Times with a straight face.
Gordon Brown, UK prime minister, host of the summit, said the meeting marked the emergence of a “new world order”, as he unveiled what leaders claimed was a $1,100 billion package aimed at tackling the global economic downturn.
The FT reported that the leaders ‘papered over’ differences between the US and Europe about whether the world could afford it. (Guess what they used for ‘paper’?)
Obama described the summit’s measures as “bolder and more rapid than any international response that we’ve seen to a financial crisis in memory,” and for once, I’d have to agree with him.
Had it been any slower or had there been any deliberation, none of them would have been able to pull it off without a popular revolt at home. Americans, say goodbye to the greenback.
And to your sovereignty.
