Perpetual Peace Through Perpetual War
Tacitus wrote mostly of the Roman Empire of the first century into the early years of the second century, and his cynical reference meant that what the Romans called their Pax Romana (or “Peace of Rome”) was in reality just a ruthless imposition of Roman rule. He just as easily could have been describing the desire of many globalists for the United Nations of our day.
The UN Charter was adopted on October 24, 1945, promising to bring peace to a world weary of two world wars that had brought death to millions of human beings. But, as the Romans deemed their ravaging and slaughtering to be in the name of “peace,” so the UN Charter set the stage for a series of wars led by the UN since that time — all supposedly in the cause of peace.
From the days of the Tower of Babel through the wars of Alexander the Great and the Roman Empire to the League of Nations, and even President George Herbert Walker Bush’s call for a New World Order in the aftermath of the First Persian Gulf War, there have been continued efforts in our world’s history for world government. In a 1961 document entitled “Program for General and Complete Disarmament in a Peaceful World,” the U.S. State Department called for “complete disarmament” of all nations of the world, including the United States, which could “only be achieved through the progressive strengthening of international institutions under the United Nations and by creating a United Nations Peace Force to enforce the peace.”
