With the scandal-plagued United Nations increasingly marginalized and ridiculed as a “dictators club” in the United States, Deep State globalists appear to be pursuing a “Plan B” of sorts to move their agenda forward. Meet the proposed “League of Democracies,” a decades-old plot being rehabilitated and peddled by the global-government-promoting Council on Foreign Relations, the powerhouse Carnegie Foundation, U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, and various propaganda organs of the globalist establishment.
The scheme for creating this planetary league of “democracies,” known as “D-10” among supporters, was first reported publicly in May. However, despite being reported as a novel idea, the plan to develop an alternate mechanism for advancing globalism has been on the Deep State’s agenda for decades. According to news reports, British Prime Minister Johnson’s government had already approached Washington, D.C., about it. The Times of London reported May 29 that the proposed alliance would include all of the Group of 7 (G-7) governments — the United Kingdom, United States, Italy, Germany, France, Japan, and Canada — representing more than half of global wealth. Also involved would be the governments of Australia, South Korea, and India.
Early in the Trump administration, the globalist powerhouse known as the CFR was pushing for an alliance of nine “democracies” to defend the globalist “rules-based world order” from self-proclaimed anti-globalist President Donald Trump. As The New American reported in October of 2019, the CFR was openly pushing for a “Group of 9” (G-9) of America’s closest allies, dubbed the “Committee to Save the World Order,” to hold down the fort while Trump served out his term. Unfortunately for globalists, though, the scheme went nowhere. Instead, Trump unleashed a wrecking ball on the architecture of “global governance.” Among other actions, he withdrew from the disgraced UN Human Rights Council, UNESCO, the World Health Organization, and more.
Perhaps recognizing that an anti-Trump alliance of America’s closest allies would not be feasible with Trump in the White House, globalists seem to have gone back to the drawing board. And the D-10 seems to be their next vehicle. In a piece published by CFR mouthpiece Foreign Affairs August 3, Edward Fishman and Siddharth Mohandas declared that the “Council of Democracies” could “Save Multilateralism.” Multilateralism is globalist-speak for globalism — essentially making decisions multilaterally with other governments rather than unilaterally as sovereign nations. The subhead of the piece was “Boris Johnson’s ‘D-10’ Is the Club the World Desperately Needs.”
Complaining that Trump has withdrawn from the Communist Chinese-controlled UN WHO and is still setting back globalism on various fronts, the CFR piece argues that the world “desperately needs a new institution that is both global in reach and unified in vision” — something along the lines of Johnson’s D-10. The establishment mouthpiece pines for a “group of capable, committed, and cohesive democracies,” especially those that are “most internationally minded,” that could muster “political will and real resources.” It would serve as a “conduit” that “reinvigorates multilateral cooperation.”
The globalist Atlantic Council has been facilitating meetings among D-10 officials since the Obama administration, wrote Fishman and Mohandas, who served in the Obama State Department. And that is good for globalism, in their view. As the CFR journal explained, the UN produced “less impactful international cooperation” than global-governance mechanisms such as NATO or the EU’s predecessor organizations. And so, it is time to open a new front in the war on sovereignty, with the legitimacy of being “democracies.” After pretending to solve the phony concerns over not enough 5G providers, the institution “could easily evolve to address a broader and more ambitious agenda,” Foreign Affairs said.
The CFR even outlines the mechanisms by which this new global-governance institution would operate. For instance, it discusses creating a “Secretariat” including bureaucrats from all the 10 governments. Leaders of the governments would come together from time to time. And if all 10 governments could not agree on a particular action or policy, the other members would proceed without it. “Such a structure would enable the D10 to tackle an expansive array of projects,” continued Fishman and Mohandas. Among other ideas, they listed “climate change,” terrorizing companies that do not submit, and cracking down on governments with low-tax policies — so-called “tax havens” — as possible tasks for the new would-be regime of “democracies.”
A “League of Democracies” is not just a foolish idea, it is a dangerous one. It would threaten to further erode self-government while allowing even more American wealth and power to be siphoned off for subversive globalist purposes. Americans should resist the globalist siren calls to constantly surrender more and more sovereignty to the never-ending array of multilateral governance organizations. Instead, a renewed commitment to individual liberty, morality, the Constitution, and self-government represents a real solution to the crises at hand.
