Fight Globalism! Affirm Your Sovereignty! Stay Independent!

Postby Maniaca » Tue Jun 23, 2009 8:57 pm

An essay released by Maniacan Defense Corporation CEO Andre Romell Young:

Look out the window....what do you see? What would you have seen five years ago? Even last year? Is the world losing it's charm?

I look out the window and see glass and steel. Overcrowding has turned the city in which I work into a towering collection of habitable spires and prisms, connected from ground to peak by intermittent skyways upon which vehicles and pedestrians bounce from hundredth floor to hundredth floor. The skyways themselves form a web that obscures daylight. I sometimes go for days without seeing the ground or the sky, and I'm a CEO who does a lot of travelling. For millions of other Maniacans, who live and work above the twentieth floor and below the three-hundred-eightieth, years can pass between glimpses of natural light, or natural soil.

This however, is my home, and it is home to tens of billions. We cherish what we see, and the freedom to see it without the manipulative controls of collusive organizations, domestic or foreign. Despite our rich history of productive diplomatic cooperation, we understand that we might reduce ourselves to the company and production of ourselves and our neighbors, and live fruitful, fulfilling lives. The trifles of faraway nations and endeavors mean little to the yeomen of St. Anthony's, St. Patrick's, St. Oliver's, or any other coastal metropolises. The contempt exchanged between maritime rivals, and the crooked business dealings between foreign governments and their private sectors of no bearing on the frontier outposts in Maniaca's frozen north, or the sun-scorched dunes to the South.

Elsewhere in the world, the pleasures of reasonable domesticity seem to be vanishing. Everywhere, globalist organizations are germinating. Alliances promising mutual defense and comprehensive benefits, providing established dominions the opportunity to sucker developing nations by promising protection at the expense of tribute and military obligation.

Obviously, security is important. Some would say it's most important. But at what cost will we purchase safety? An American inventor and playboy by the name of Benjamin Franklin once asserted "he who would sacrifice freedom for security deserves neither." By forfeiting their sovereignty to these global groups, developing nations compromise their own security, and the precious liberty of their people.

Our world is curved for a reason; to prevent man from seeing to far. By confining a person's practical reality to a small portion of the world, the earth allows one to focus on what is really important. The problems arising within a neighborhood are just as significant and worthy of attention as global powerbrokering and shady TransAtlantic deals.

Retain your sovereignty. Scorn the advances of the UNTO, CAG, CAWK and GDODAD. Secure the rights of your own people. I will protect you. The W.T.O. kills farmers. Thank you.

What if I am one of those established dominions that wants to suck a developing nation dry?

OOC: Not to my knowledge, but included for nostalgia's sake and also because it's such a fantastic example of globalization run amok.
