USPA NEWS - For Some Years now we have felt a Crisis was coming in the World Order, but in 2018 the symptoms were emerging with Greater frequency and Intensity. Power Vacuums, The United States is withdrawing from Certain Spaces that other Actors look Eager to fill. Accelerated Technological Change is already resulting in a Redistribution of Power at Global Level and changing the Foundations on which the Economic and Social Orders of the Most Developed Economies are based.... The Calendar also invites us to reflect on the Validity, Durability and Composition of the World Order. One Hundred Years have passed since the First World War, which marked the Beginning of the End of a Euro-Centric World Order.
For Some Years now we have felt a Crisis was coming in the World Order, but in 2018 the symptoms were emerging with Greater frequency and Intensity.

The Calendar also invites us to reflect on the Validity, Durability and Composition of the World Order. One Hundred Years have passed since the First World War, which marked the Beginning of the End of a Euro-Centric World Order.
In 2018, it will be Seventy Years since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted, the World Health Organization (WHO) was created and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) came Into Force. All are Pieces of what has come to be called the Liberal Order, which was built on a Western Matrix and associated with US Power. It began to crack, Politically, Fifteen Years ago with the War in Iraq, and Economically with the fall of Lehman Brothers Ten Years ago.
Afro-Asian Dynamics Condition European and North American Policies more than the Reverse. We are witnessing an Inversion of the Geopolitical and Geoeconomic Power inherited from Bretton Woods. China's Ambition provokes Suspicion in the United States, which had got used to playing a Hegemonic Role in the International Order and which still retains Primacy in the Military Sphere.... In Recent Decades, we have seen an Apparently Unstoppable Process of Population, Wealth and Power concentrating in Urban and Metropolitan Areas. But the Planet's Great Challenges also affect Cities. Poverty, Exclusion, Violence and Climate Change are Phenomena with a Growing Urban Dimension. In this Context, the Number of Local Political Leaders demanding to be more than Mere Managers and Implementers of Policies adopted by Central Governments is rising. They seek to influence the Main Global Agendas around Sustainable Development, aware that the Solution to the Large global Problems begins at Local Level....

By Peter Dale Scott and Published in FRANCE by Demi Lune Editions. Prominent Political Analyst Peter Dale Scott begins by tracing America´s Increasing Militarization, Restrictions on Constitutional Rights, and Income Disparity since the Vietnam War.

He marshals Convincing Evidence that the "Deep State" is partly institutionalized in Non-Accountable Intelligence Agencies like the CIA and NSA, but it also includes Private Corporations like Booz Allen Hamilton and SAIC, to which 70 Percent of Intelligence Budgets are outsourced. Behind these Public and Private Institutions is the Traditional Influence of Wall Street Bankers and Lawyers, allied with International Oil Companies beyond the Reach of Domestic Law....
