The Global Elders
Friday, 1 August 2008
By Patrick M. Wood
“We are moving to a global village and yet we don’t have our global elders. The Elders can be a group who have the trust of the world, who can speak freely, be fiercely independent and respond fast and flexibly in conflict situations.” (http://www.theelders.org website)
The Elders have arrived on the world scene. Thus far, there are 12 self-appointed “apostles” of globalism to manage the “global village.” This group represents the cream of the globalist crop.
- Nelson Mandela – Former president of South Africa
- Desmond Tutu – Former general secre-tary of the South African Council of Churches
- Ela Bhatt – Founder of SEWA (Self-Employed Women’s Association) in India
- Gro Brundtland – Former chair of the World Commission of Environment and Development (the
Brundtland Commission
), and driving force behind Sustain-able Development
- Jimmy Carter – Former president of the United States
- Muhammad Yunus – founder of Grameen Bank
- Graca Machel – President of Foundation for Community Development in Mozambique
- Kofi Annan – Former Secretary-General of the United Nations
- Lakhdar Brahimi – Former Under-Secretary General of the United Nations
- Fernando H. Cardoso – Former President of Brazil
- Mary Robinson – Former President of Ireland; former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights
- Aung San Suu Kyi – Freedom fighter and figurehead leader in Burma since 1988
Initial funding was secured from global players such as Richard Branson, Peter Gabriel, Humanity United, Tick Tarlow, the United Nations Foundations, and others.
The original idea behind The Elders came from British musical icon, Peter Gabriel.
The current Executive Director of The Elders is Dr. Robert A. Pastor (surprised?), who is also known as the “father of the North American Union” because of his tireless work to unite Mexico, Canada and the United States into a common block similar to the European Union.
Pastor has a very long association with Jimmy Carter dating back to the 1970’s, and with other members of the Trilateral Commission. For instance, he was the executive director of the infamous Linowitz Commission that produced the policy blueprint for Carter to give away the U.S.-owned Panama Canal during Carter’s presidency.
The Linowitz Commission consisted of eight members, seven of which were members of the Trilateral Commission. The temporary ambassador/negotiator to Panama was Commissioner Sol Linowitz.
Despite humanity's dark history of corruption and war, Elder Desmond Tutu not only disagrees but also believes that he is held in such high regard so as to qualify himself for global eldership...
“Despite all the ghastliness that is around, human beings are made for goodness. The ones who ought to be held in high regard are not the ones who are militarily powerful, nor even economically prosperous. They are the ones who have a commitment to try and make the world a better place. We - The Elders – will endeavor to support those people and do our best for humanity.” – [Desmond Tutu, http://theelders.org website]
In case you are thinking this is a spoof, forget it. Go to their website and check it out for yourself!
The Elders apparently assume that most, if not all, of the world they serve will be under Marxist control because their members are decidedly pro-Marxist.
When a pro-Marxist group tells you that they are going to do what’s good for humanity, that’s reason enough for you to fortify your home and build a perimeter. After all, well over 100 million people died in the last century because they didn’t go along with what their Marxist leaders conjured up for them.
Indeed, Jimmy Carter and Robert Pastor both show their true colors by their association with The Elders. Globalist ego seems to know no bounds.

Patrick M. Wood
is editor of The August Review,
which builds on his original research with the late Dr. Antony C. Sutton,
who was formerly a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution for War, Peace
and Revolution at Stanford University. Their 1977-1982 newsletter, Trilateral
Observer, was the original authoritative critique on the New International
Economic Order spearheaded by members of the Trilateral Commission.
Their highly regarded
two-volume book, Trilaterals Over Washington, became a standard reference
on global elitism. Wood's ongoing work is to build a knowledge center
that provides a comprehensive and scholarly source of information on globalism
in all its related forms: political, economic and religious.
