James Perloff - Trump's Incremental Globalism
January 20, 2025
Trump's Greenland grab is not about MAGA
Trump's ambition to expand America
is nothing more than a repackaging
of an old satanic plan to establish
world government through regional stepping stones.

To research my first book The Shadows of Power (1988), a study of the globalist power brokers at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), I went through every issue of Foreign Affairs, the CFR's flagship journal, going back to its first issue in 1922. There was no Internet then, no search engines. All facts had to be gleaned from hard-copy documents.
In going through Foreign Affairs, I recognized that the CFR had abandoned the idea of, in one swoop, unifying the planet under a world government. Instead, they reasoned, they could gradually bring about global governance by first organizing regional alliances. This would be a "stepping stone" approach (also known as "boiling the frog") to the ultimate goal of an all-powerful one-world government.
For example, we read in the January 1926 issue of Foreign Affairs:
Locarno [a European collective security agreement] represents an attempt to arrive at the same end by stages,--by treaties and local regional pacts which are permeated with the spirit of the Geneva Protocol,--these to be constantly supplemented, until at last, within the framework of the League of Nations, they are absorbed by one great world convention guaranteeing world security and peace by the enforcing of the rule of law in inter-state life.
Shortly after America joined NATO in 1949, Elmo Roper of the CFR issued a pamphlet entitled "The Goal is Government of All the World" in which he mused:
But the Atlantic Pact (NATO) need not be our last effort toward greater unity. It can be converted into one more sound and important step working toward world peace. It can be one of the most positive moves in the direction of One World.
In his April 1964 article for Foreign Affairs, "The World Order in the Sixties," Roberto Ducci wrote:
Pending the formation of such wider and more responsible political units, encouragement should be given to regional organizations, of the type recognized by the U.N. Charter. They should be strengthened so as to make them able to keep the peace in their respective areas: NATO in the North Atlantic and the Council of Europe in the European regions, O.A.S in the Americas, O.A.U. in Africa, SEATO in Southeast Asia.
The European Union is probably the epitome of regional government. It was, by design, evolved out of the Common Market. Today, of course, it has its own diplomatic representatives, the European Parliament, and a common currency in the euro. Long before anyone heard the term "European Union," French statesman and journalist Raymond Bourgine warned in the July 1968 issue of Spectacle Du Monde:
The Europe of Jean Monnet is the famous "Supranational Europe" to which member States will progressively surrender their attributes of national sovereignty. In the end their economies will be integrated by Administrators in Brussels while awaiting a European Assembly, elected by popular vote, which will turn itself into a legislative one and give birth to a new European political power. The national states will then wither away.
Zbigniew Brzezinski laid the strategy on the line at Mikhail Gorbachev's 1995 State of the World Forum: "We cannot leap into world government in one quick step. . . . The precondition for genuine globalization is progressive regionalization."
In 2005, President George W. Bush attempted to create a North American Union that would emulate the European Union, turning an economic partnership (NAFTA) into a political union, just as the EU had evolved out of an economic partnership (the Common Market).
Quoting my own 2013 book Truth Is a Lonely Warrior:
In 2004, the CFR's Robert Pastor wrote in Foreign Affairs: "Security fears would serve as a catalyst for deeper integration. That would require new structures to assure mutual security.... The Department of Homeland Security should expand its mission to include continental security - a shift best achieved by incorporating Mexican and Canadian perspectives and personnel into its design and operation."
Pastor is thus suggesting that security concerns warrant combining NAFTA's economic partners - America, Canada and Mexico - into a continent-wide Homeland Security Department.
But it doesn't stop there. On March 23, 2005, in Waco, Texas, President Bush met with Mexican President Vincente Fox and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin to discuss broadly integrating their three countries. The union is initially being called the "Security and Prosperity Partnership" or SPP. (In Establishment vocabulary, "security" has replaced "peace" in the phrase "peace and prosperity" because the public now perceives terrorism as more threatening than war.) Total convergence is ultimately planned: if fulfilled, our borders with Mexico and Canada would be eliminated, all citizens issued a North American ID card, and the dollar replaced by a continental currency (the "Amero") - in short, we would copy the European Union. . . .
Can you guess where the SPP was dreamed up? As The New American reported in 2006:
The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) serves as the intellectual incubator for most of the foreign policy direction followed by the executive branch of the federal government. Before the trilateral meeting between the heads of state in Waco on March 23 of last year, the CFR had already undertaken an initiative with its counterparts in Mexico and Canada (Consejo Mexicano de Asuntos Internacionales and the Canadian Council of Chief Executives) to study the possibility of integrating the three nations. Laying the foundation for the Waco meeting, the CFR produced a document entitled Creating a North American Community: Chairmen's Statement of the Independent Task Force on the Future of North America. The document called for "the creation by 2010 of a community to enhance security, prosperity, and opportunity for all North Americans."
The only reason the North American Union has not progressed according to the Establishment's timetable is that it has been so bitterly opposed by American patriots, including some members of Congress.
One of those Congressmen, I should mention, was Ron Paul. Donald Trump is now proposing a North American Union again, but to keep MAGA people in the dark, has re-branded it as nationalism instead of globalism.
I realize some will object: Bush's union included Canada and Mexico, but Trump is only proposing Canada and Greenland. The reason should be obvious. Trump's campaign underscored building a wall to shield us from the millions of immigrants flowing in from Mexico. A union with Mexico at this time would throw Trump supporters into cognitive dissonance on steroids.
Therefore, Greenland has simply replaced Mexico in the regionalization scheme. Greenland is actually larger (836,331 square miles) than Mexico (758,449), though its population is microscopic in comparison.
The melding of Greenland with America is not new, as shown by this map, based on the "Regionalized and Adaptive Model of the Global World System" report produced by the globalist Club of Rome in 1973. Note that the North American region included Canada and Greenland, but excluded Mexico.
It isn't my intention to assert that America will really merge with Canada and Greenland, a complicated process that would face many barriers. However, it is important to understand that Trump's ambition toward this goal is neither new nor patriotric, but an element of the age-old globalist agenda.
