If you were King, and there was a village that refused to comply with your vision for a perfect country, would you:
A. put a stranglehold on all the citizens in that village?
B. constantly, gently, move them toward compliance, for their own good?
C. concede to the village, and it's contrary policies, and make it the strongest village in your country?

It would depend on what I was asking for. if it was vital for the defense of the realm, I would probably force them to comply. (Hey, this is a Monarchy right?)

If it was to get them to improve something or discontinue a undesirable practice, i would choose B.

What if America was the village in question, and the undesirable practice was the following of an independent constitution?
Here is what the New World Order spokesman said about the right time to institute it's policies. He said the second term of Pres. Obama should do the trick. If Obama has been chosen as the president of the collective countries, why would he strengthen the village holdout?
Making us stronger now, will compromise his abilities later.

"Kissinger: Obama primed to create ‘New World Order’
Policy guru says global upheaval presents ‘great opportunity’. Conflicts across the globe and an international respect for Barack Obama have created the perfect setting for establishment of “a New World Order,” according to Henry Kissinger, the Nobel Peace Prize winner and former secretary of state under President Nixon.

Kissinger has long been an integral figure in U.S. foreign policy, holding positions in the Nixon, Ford and Reagan administrations. Author of over a dozen books on foreign policy, Kissinger was also named by President Bush as the chairman of the Sept. 11 investigatory commission.

Kissinger made the remark in an interview with CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street” hosts Mark Haines and Erin Burnett at the New York Stock Exchange, after Burnett asked him what international conflict would define the Obama administration’s foreign policy.

“The president-elect is coming into office at a moment when there is upheaval in many parts of the world simultaneously,” Kissinger responded. “You have India, Pakistan; you have the jihadist movement. So he can’t really say there is one problem, that it’s the most important one. But he can give new impetus to American foreign policy partly because the reception of him is so extraordinary around the world. His task will be to develop an overall strategy for America in this period when, really, a new world order can be created. It’s a great opportunity, it isn’t just a crisis.”
The phrase ‘new world order’ traces back at least as far as 1940, when author H.G. Wells used it as the title of a book about a socialist, unified, one-world government. The phrase has also been linked to American presidents, including Woodrow Wilson, whose work on establishing the League of Nations pioneered the concept of international government bodies, and to the first President Bush, who used it in a 1989 speech.

“A new partnership of nations has begun, and we stand today at a unique and extraordinary moment,” said Bush before a joint session of Congress. “Out of these troubled times, our fifth objective – a new world order – can emerge: A new era … in which the nations of the world, east and west, north and south, can prosper and live in harmony.”

The phrase “New World Order” causes alarm for many Americans, particularly those concerned about an international governing body trumping U.S. sovereignty or those that interpret biblical prophecy to foretell the establishment of a one-world government as key to the rise of the Antichrist. Conspiracy theorists, too, have latched on to the phrase, concerned that powerful financial or government figures are secretly plotting to rule the world.
Kissinger’s ties to government and international powers – as well as his use of the phrase – have made him suspect in the eyes of many who are wary of what “new world order” might actually mean.
“There is a need for a new world order,” Kissinger told PBS interviewer Charlie Rose last year, “I think that at the end of this administration, with all its turmoil, and at the beginning of the next, we might actually witness the creation of a new order – because people looking in the abyss, even in the Islamic world, have to conclude that at some point, ordered expectations must return under a different system.”

Kissinger was also part of last year’s super-secret Bilderberg Group, an organization of powerful international elites, including government, business, academic and journalistic representatives, that has convened annually since 1954.
According to sources that have penetrated the high-security meetings, the Bilderberg meetings emphasize a globalist agenda and promote the idea that the notion of national sovereignty is antiquated and regressive.
CNBC’s Haines concluded the Kissinger interview by asking, “Are you confident about the people President-elect Obama has chosen to surround him?”
Kissinger replied, “He has appointed an extraordinarily able group of people in both the international and financial fields".



:confused:
These pretend/spontaneous upheavals are being orchestrated, to bring about the need for one solution for all of these "problems". I thought Obama's response to the Egyptian leader, when it was their turn to up heave, was telling. He told the Egyptian gov. to get that internet back up and running.
Obama's friends at Google needed to get strategy to the up heavers.

Why would anyone believe that Obama wants to strengthen America? It is counter productive to his belief that we need to be changed fundamentally, in order to "fit in".

What are America's fundamentals?

seems to me that there are two ways to do things... one is brutally, the other is more cerebrally, incorporating the cultural reality of the people being governed. charlemagne tried both and found out that the brutal way led only to mutiny. the catholic church incorporated it's pagans' traditions into it's own church dogma so as to co-opt the pagans.

The young and strong would go into my army.
The pretty go to my Castle.
The Homely Democrat ladies go to my brothels.
The village then is on it's own.
 
If I were King I would ban lame attempts at metaphorical threads perpetrated by the unimaginative.

Right, absolute monarchies always use force and make examples, had a hard time imagining any other course. Just not applicable to our system.
