When Prime Minister Gordon Brown called upon Congress recently to consider his ‘global solution’ strategy – his ‘global new deal’ – he did so in full knowledge that America’s top money men would be ready and willing to cooperate.

“How much safer would everybody’s savings be if the whole world finally came together,” Mr Brown cooed. “Every continent playing their part in a global new deal.”

He concluded: “I say we should seize the moment because never before have I seen a world so willing to come together.”

I don’t see a world “willing to come together”. What I see is a world forced to come together by the economic pressures we face—the false economic conditions engineered by the so-called ‘credit crunch’.

After all, hasn’t the so-called ‘recession’ been engineered to create the conditions in which Gordon Brown’s ‘global new deal’ might finally be implemented? Of course it has.

It brings to mind the Great Depression of 1930s, engineered to create the conditions for war. The only difference today is that the war is surreptitious and waged on your personal freedoms.
