To be fair, the others have had their six times as long.

As for globalism, I think it is very important to differentiate tow senses in which the word gets used which are often confused. One is actually the insidious shift of power structures from nations to corporations that cross borders between nations, and they distort the map of nations and the ability of individuals to determine their own destiny. The geographical map becomes secondary to the map of trans-nation corporate shells and their shills, and this shift of power from people in places, to executives running companies, is a drift toward planetary fascism of great long-term danger.

The other sense of globalism is the view of our species on its single and limited planet, with no ready means of escape or transfer. This is an imperative perspective for anyone contemplating policy--to think globally--because the interdependence of regions has accelerated and grown. Acting wisely locally is also an important mandate.

As to the CFR, I am not sure exactly why it gathered the reputation for pushing for international corporatism. Does anyone know plainly how this came about or what the CFR has actually done?? Or is this just the casting of shadows into mysterious boojums?
