Writing for the Atlantic Council, a prominent think tank based in Washington DC, Harlan K. Ullman warns that an extraordinary crisis is needed to preserve the new world order, which is under threat of being derailed by non-state actors like Edward Snowden, writes News Watch.

In an article entitled War on Terror Is not the Only Threat, Ullman asserts that, tectonic changes are reshaping the international geostrategic system, arguing that its not military superpowers like China but non-state actors like Edward Snowden, Bradley Manning and anonymous hackers who pose the biggest threat to the 365 year-old Westphalian system because they are encouraging individuals to become self-empowered, eviscerating state control.

Very few have taken note and fewer have acted on this realization, notes Ullman, lamenting that information revolution and instantaneous global communications are thwarting the new world order announced by U.S. President George H.W. Bush more than two decades ago.

Without an extraordinary crisis, little is likely to be done to reverse or limit the damage imposed by failed or failing governance, writes Ullman, implying that only another 9/11-style cataclysm will enable the state to re-assert its dominance while containing, reducing and eliminating the dangers posed by newly empowered non-state actors.

Ullman concludes that the elimination of non-state actors and empowered individuals must be done in order to preserve the new world order. A summary of their material suggests that the Atlantic Councils definition of a new world order is a global technocracy run by a fusion of big government and big business under which individuality is replaced by transhumanist singularity.

Ullmans rhetoric sounds somewhat similar to that espoused by Trilateral Commission co-founder and regular Bilderberg attendee Zbigniew Brzezinski, who in 2010 told a Council on Foreign Relations meeting that a global political awakening, in combination with infighting amongst the elite, was threatening to derail the move towards a one world government.

Ullmans implied call for an extraordinary crisis to reinvigorate support for state power and big government has eerie shades of the Project For a New American Centurys 1997 lament that absent some catastrophic catalyzing event like a new Pearl Harbor, an expansion of U.S. militarism would have been impossible.

In 2012, Patrick Clawson, member of the influential pro-Israel Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP) think tank, also suggested that the United States should launch a staged provocation to start a war with Iran.

Ullmans concern over failing state institutions having their influence eroded by empowered individuals, primarily via the Internet, is yet another sign that the elite is panicking over the global political awakening that has most recently expressed itself via the actions of people like Edward Snowden, Julian Assange, Bradley Manning and their growing legion of supporters.
