    this is the head of the IMF in a recent interview on CNBC where he clearly states

    "It's the beginning of global governance made easier by the crisis"

    At his side is Ben Bernanke, former head of the Federal Reserve.

    ...is this still "crackpot conspiracy theory"? I'd love to hear some of the opinions of the people here on this.

    the vid is only a minute long so it wont burn the head off ya..

    Good find Kenny. No doubt there will still be people denying that global governance is happening.

    "global governance, ah sure these are the guys looking after the show anyway, it'll be grand.. "

    Not sure that this should be in the conspiracy theories section.

    Global Governance...of the financial system, not individual states. He's speaking in reference to the solution to the global credit crisis and says further on in the video "it's impossible to find a domestic solution to a global problem". But that's where G20 et al come in, states agreeing on mutually beneficial policies, for example the recent agreement between China and the US not to attempt to devalue their currencies in order to become more competitive than each other.

    Global governance ≠ a one world government.

    It refers to how governments interact with one another when the same problem exists in more than one area & needs to be sorted collectively rather than separately

    Global governance = unelected people making binding decisions on nation states. One world government by another name.

    Example:

    -Bank of International Settlements enforces actions on Ireland and the EU via Basel I, II & III through retail, merchant and central banks fractional rates and other obligations.
    -The US Fed's owners (GS et al) decide the board and actions of the BIS.
    --The Fed controls it in part
    --GS et al control the other part
    -The Fed is owned by private bankers that US congressmen cannot fully find out all the controlling owners.
    --The Fed provides a select list from which the POTUS can select a Fed chair.

    Well then I wouldn't worry too much as that's not what he was referring to in the video. :)
