Excerpts from the book The Deeper State Part 1

Even former Vice President Joseph Biden showed his globalist colors while serving as a U.S. senator in a 1992 article in the Wall Street Journal. In Biden’s article, entitled “How I Learned to Love the New World Order,” he extolled “collective security” through the United Nations, and called for a “permanent commitment of forces for use by the Security Council.”

Biden then asked, “Why not breathe life into the U.N. Charter?”

Biden continued to promote a new world order outcome at least through 2013 when he spoke to the thirty-eighth annual conference of the Export-Import Bank of the United States.

Biden asserted at that conference that “the affirmative task we have now is to actually create a new world order.” This means global governance and world government and all that implies.

Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel is the father of the progressive movement. He believed that the history of mankind was the rational evolution of mankind to “perfect” humanity, but that process required a government to tame man’s raw impulses. Further, Hegel’s “philosophy of history” can be understood as man becoming god on earth. That view explains the basis for progressive foreign policy as well, which is built on two central ideas from nineteenth-century German philosophy: ethical idealism and historical evolution.

Ethical idealism, according to Christopher Burkett, an associate professor of political science at Ashland University, “is any action motivated by a concern for one’s own happiness, welfare, or interest is not moral, and accordingly, the only moral action is one undertaken purely to promote the good of others.” The state’s proper role, explained Burkett, is to “discourage individualistic pursuit of private interests, promoting instead cooperative moral actions that contribute to the good of the whole.”

Historical evolution, the second tenet of progressivism, asserts that human societies evolve from primitive origins and over time they become “more civilized, more ethical, and more democratic culminating in the emergence of the state.” The culmination of that evolutionary process is freedom, which comes only when “a people become civilized, ethical, and democratic under the tutelage of the state.”

These progressive tenets are in stark contrast to the theory of our founders, who believed the laws of nature, human nature, and natural rights did not evolve; they are God given. Further, our founders rejected the progressive notion that all self-interested actions were immoral. Burkett concluded, “Accepting human nature for what it is, they [the founders] believed that the primary purpose of government was to allow individuals to exercise their liberty in pursuit of their own happiness.”
