&quot;Internationalism&quot; is very nice in theory but in practice gets hijacked by the manipulators regardless of whether they label themselves right, left or centre. Today we are confronted by an as yet unresolved combination of corporate, statist and other institutional parties all vying for the pole positions. One thing they have in common is that they want to call the shots. As yet the NWO isn&#039;t with us but these schemers are all aiming for it. Whatever the precise political labels of the final lineup will not matter much at all to us who are intended only for serfdom.

 It could all be led by Boris and his Short Attention Span party or by Putin and his Nice Misunderstood Russian Front, and others of equally dubious provenance, and likes of you and I will play no part at all. Communities will be subverted or destroyed with likes of that twat Monbiot ( unless he&#039;s deemed to be an unbeliever) pushing a green gospel modified to suit the needs and priorities of the rulers. Need to save the planet will be used to constrain our behaviours while the elites will live the grand life jetsetting from one conference to another to rearrange our lives for the greater good.]]></description>

Well put. &#039;Internationalism&#039; is often left wing code for unrestricted immigration and other idiocies. We have to look behind these words to get their true meaning. Just think of what&#039;s happened to YesCymru, taken over by people preaching &#039;inclusivity&#039;. One of the first things they did was suspend the only BAME member of the Central Committee!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://jacothenorth.net/blog/unesco-let-the-rip-offs-begin/#comment-40645&quot;&gt;Steffan&lt;/a&gt;.

I think this is a reply to me Steffan!? An interesting take but a take which could perhaps be described as well meaning but naive. &#039;Internationalism&#039; in its modern usage seems to be another word which well meaning and altrusitic people have adopted to show their no-doubt genuine virtue and concern for the rest of the world but which has been covertly acquiesced by the fascist globalist one world government agenda for their own purpose. 

I think most decent people are internationalist in the sense that they celebrate being part of a family of diverse nations on earth but this well intentioned and decent principle has been hijacked by those with less well intentioned plans. 

Regardless of all that, simply allowing a non-elected globalist body to seemingly claim ownership of large parts of Wales is plain wrong in terms of this not having having gone through any proper democratic scrutiny in our Welsh Parliament for example  - or being subject to a local referndum by the citizens of Gwynedd. You might be ok to live with this form of internationalism yourself but we live in a liberal democracy and the people must utimately decide]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[You are entitled to your views on UNESCO, of course. I accept that it has shown evidence of failings similar to a number of other UN agencies over the past 75 years - over-politicisation, over-bureaucratisation, and high principles not fully reflected in their low practical outputs. 

But in accusing UNESCO of &#039;a form of sovereignty&#039; over parts of Gwynedd, and of globalist imperialism, thou doth protest too much, methinks. After all, it conferred this same international heritage status on two Gwynedd castles, Caernarfon and Harlech, 35 years ago. Those structures most certainly represent real colonisers and the overweening sovereigns of their epoch: hence the brutal beauty of their legacy. UNESCO thankfully has no such fiscal or military strength, and might stretch to an occasional flag, plaque and leaflet in the fullness of time at Bryneglwys and the other llechi sites. I for one can live with that form of internationalism.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I guarantee some prick Fleet Street columnist writing in a property supplement in the Daily Mail or Telegraph will undergo a jingoistic onanism over the resultant increase in property prices. Funny how salvation in the form of investment in the quarry came from up east, nothing at all to do with the disparity in wealth and opportunity that exists between us, of course!? The same story back then, and always was and shall be (unless we grasp the nettle and make change happen).]]></description>
