Morrison slap for UN in new world order

Scott Morrison has declared his government will lead the charge in asserting the authority of nation states over unelected international institutions, such as the UN.
The Prime Minister, in a major foreign policy address to the Lowy Institute on Thursday evening, signalled Australia would seek to play a greater role in shaping a new economic and strategic world order.
Mr Morrison’s speech was aimed squarely at the push by the UN to set the global agenda on issues such as climate change and refugee policies.
As democratic nations increasingly band together to counter a rising China, Mr Morrison announced he would visit India and Japan early next year and Indonesia next month.
Mr Morrison’s visit to Washington DC late last month sparked debate about how the nation should balance its relationship with the US and China, but he told the Lowy Institute it was not a “binary” equation.
While Mr Morrison recognised the benefits the global economy had brought Australia, he declared that the ballot box should always be more powerful than international institutions.
He warned that where elite opinion became disconnected from the mainstream of societies, it could foster a sense of resentment and disappointment.
“(It is) an era of insiders and outsiders, threatening social cohesion, provoking discontent and distrust,” Mr Morrison said.
He said Australia would partner with the international community through “practical globalism” and vowed to make fresh efforts to reshape international rules, starting with a new audit of global institutions and rule-making processes.
“We should avoid any reflex towards a negative globalism that coercively seeks to impose a mandate from an often ill-defined borderless global community. And worse still, an unaccountable internationalist bureaucracy,” Mr Morrison said.
“Only a national government, especially one accountable through the ballot box and the rule of law, can define its national interests. We can never answer to a higher authority than the people of Australia.”
He said Australia had played its part over the generations to build a better world through “co-operative and respectful internationalism”. But he warned that pragmatic international engagement was giving way to a new order that sought to “elevate global institutions above the authority of nation states to direct national policies”.
The speech came just over a week after Mr Morrison told the UN general assembly in New York that Australia was “carrying its own weight and more” in the fight against climate change, and warned against the exploitation of children’s anxieties to wage global campaigns.
While the Prime Minister did not name the UN in his Lowy Institute address, he has bristled in the past at UN criticism over Australia’s border protection policies, and has called for changes to global trading and climate change rules that hand preferential treatment to China by classifying it as a developing country.
Mr Morrison said Australia would seek to be a central player in shaping the new international order.
“I’m determined Australia will play a more active role in standards setting,” he said.
“I have tasked the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade to come back to me with a comprehensive audit of global institutions and rule-making processes where we have the greatest stake.
“And I want to send a message here tonight that we will be looking to tap Australian expertise as part of our efforts.”
Mr Morrison told the Lowy Institute he would visit India, a partner in the nascent Quad strategic bloc, in January at the invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“My visit will be another step in cementing India in the top tier of Australia’s partnerships,” he said.
He revealed he had also accepted an invitation from Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to visit Japan early next year, and would attend the inauguration of Indonesian President Joko Widodo next month.
“And I also intend to put more effort into our relationship with the Republic of Korea, building on our significant trade, energy and infrastructure ties,” he said.
Mr Morrison told the Lowy Institute that his natural instincts as a politician had always been domestic, but as Prime Minister he had to focus on the international forces that were shaping the nation’s future.
“Under my leadership, Australia’s international engagement will be squarely driven by Australia’s national interests,” he said.
“To paraphrase former prime minister John Howard, as Australians, ‘we will decide our interests and the circumstances in which we seek to pursue them’
Just as a fortuitous, unplanned benefit, Morrison and the Australians can buy MAGA apparel, and the A will just stand for Australia now. Doesn't get any better than that.
In a somewhat related aside, y'all will recall that the very first kerfluffle that Trump got in to when he came in to office, like maybe the first week or something, was when he had that dreadful conversation with the other australian pm and it was leaked.
Then they wonder why Trump locks transcripts of conversations with foreign leaders away. Stlll a lot of swamp-spies there. Some are trying to masquerade as whistleblowers. Not gonna work though. They are going to be hunted down and their swamp connections exposed.

Let’s stand up to globalist cant
MAURICE NEWMAN
We confront “a state of society where men may not speak their minds, where children denounce their parents … where a businessman or small shopkeeper ruins his competitor by telling tales about his private opinions … (They) feed on hatred … they must seek, from time to time and always at shorter intervals, a new target, a new prize, a new victim.”
These words are not the preface to a right-of-centre think tank’s brochure lamenting the all-too-familiar trends in contemporary Australian society. They are Winston Churchill’s 1938 appeal to Americans to join Britain in the fight to preserve the precious liberties of the English-speaking world.
After seven long years and the loss of 80 million lives, the forces for freedom finally claimed victory. Yet, for all that sacrifice, within a mere 75 years, the lights are going out again.
In the West today, there are no obvious Hitlers or Stalins. Rather, faceless globalists work the corridors of the multiple United Nations agencies and the European Commission to project and amplify their socialist ideology. They promote an ever-growing list of evils that is uncritically embraced by Western teaching institutions, the mainstream media and the courts.
True to their beliefs that borders and nations should be dissolved, the globalists pressure “rich” countries to accept unreasonable numbers of migrants. Predictably, this has worsened the refugee crisis, harmed social cohesion and given a wedge to those intent on stifling free speech. Hitherto strong European and British statutes protecting “the right to freedom of expression”, including “the freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority”, are now being overridden by “hate speech” laws. While sometimes this may shield deserving minorities, it is too often used to shut down debate.
Testament to the influence of the corridor ideologues is the spectacle of Western children parading fear, self-loathing and guilt. “Capitalism kills”, “Revolution is our only hope”, they protest. Socialism is their utopia.
Indoctrination leads them to believe their existence depends on their governments committing to economic self-harm.
There is a pattern here that suggests central planning. After all, is it likely the simultaneous denigration of white men, the deprivation of free speech, the politics of climate change, the push for open borders, the sharp rise in anti-Semitism and the demonisation of Christianity could be random? Call it guided ideological collaboration but it is imported from somewhere and is anything but spontaneous.
Scott Morrison has sensed this and has called for a “comprehensive audit of global institutions and rule-making processes”.
President Donald Trump’s review cast him as an international pariah. He rejected sweeping transnational organisations and alliances. He took the US out of the UN Human Rights Council and the Paris climate agreement. He now threatens to withdraw from the international mail services governing body.
In his recent address to a largely unfriendly UN General Assembly, Trump said: “The future does not belong to globalists. The future belongs to patriots. The future belongs to strong, independent nations. Globalism exerted a religious pull over past leaders, causing them to ignore their own national interests. Those days are over.”
Possibly. Perhaps Brexit is the litmus test? It certainly explains why Boris Johnson has become public enemy number two. If he succeeds in taking Britain out of the EU, other potential defectors could be emboldened and confirm socialist billionaire and, arch globalist, George Soros’s worst fears, that the “European Union will go the way of the Soviet Union”.
Trump’s “America first” policies have invigorated globalists within the US establishment. As the presidential election draws nearer and fears of his re-election grow, an unprecedented three-year crusade to impeach him has stepped up a gear. In their eagerness to topple this legitimately elected president, the Democrats, the intelligence services and the mainstream media have colluded to form what is effectively a partisan, hostile branch of government within the governing administration.
Globalists argue their mission is noble because it has a higher purpose. Only a common multilateral approach can achieve true diversity, inclusiveness, social justice and wealth and income equality. Yet, their claims are not supported by evidence. In Europe, indeed across the Western world, political polarisation has intensified.
Instances of identity politics, social division and censorship are on the rise. And income and wealth inequality have rapidly accelerated since the 1980s, albeit at different rates. And while, on the whole, the poorest are not getting poorer, there is no convincing evidence to demonstrate that globalisation is the reason.
Indeed, globalists are architects of much inequality. It is their seductive cocktail of corporate welfare, regulatory protection and co-ordinated monetary policies that has created extensive wealth and privilege opportunities that crony capitalists fiercely defend.
Journalist Sebastian Haffner, writing on Hitler’s rise in Germany, refers to the absence of conservative resistance: “They went along with everything: the terror, the persecution of Jews … They were not even bothered when their own party was banned and their own members arrested.” Alexander the Great similarly observed that the people of Asia were slaves because they had not learned the word “no”.
The tendency is always to hope this time it’s different.
Or to feel powerless, or deluded into believing it’s not what it seems. Like a slow-growing cancer, it’s easy to dismiss the first suspicious signs. Nevertheless, the existence of Western civilisation is not preordained and its survival requires more courage, confidence and determination than is presently in evidence. The longer apathy prevails, the nearer the road to serfdom becomes. As Churchill warned, for every day’s delay, how much harder the toil

Excellent post. However, conservatives have lost the will to fight. Conservatism is a masculine endeavor and requires vim and vigor to protect.
Just a few factors to consider -
War - Civil War, WWI,WWII,Korea,Vietnam,Middle East, Afgan - statistically significant reduction in prime breeding stock. Decline of the Alpha male.
Attention Deficit Disorder - A disturbingly large number of young boys are being given medication because primarily female teachers have trouble harnessing the energy of these young boys. **There is no biological test for ADD. Young boys are classified based on the recommendation of their teachers. Schools get more funds depending on the number of ADD students they have.**
Technology in General and especially computers have made a significant portion of the population much more docile.
The above have led to declining birth rates among certain portions of the population.
