• Insider: EU-U.S. Must Take More Refugees, Get Rid of Sovereignty
  by William F. Jasper, http://www.thenewamerican.com/  
  Peter Sutherland (shown), the United Nations special representative of the secretary-general for international migration, is hopping from one pulpit to the next, preaching the message that the refugee tsunami proves national sovereignty is an “illusion,” a mere shibboleth” that must be done away with. Moreover, says Sutherland, the United States and the European Union “have not merely a moral but a legal obligation to protect refugees.” And that means, he makes quite clear, that the United States and EU are obligated to take in an unspecified quota — but potentially millions — of refugees and migrants, most of whom are currently streaming out of the Muslim countries of the war-decimated Middle East and Africa.

  In an October 8 interview with UN News Centre, Sutherland responded to the question, “What is your message to governments?” with this reply: “I will ask the governments to cooperate, to recognise that sovereignty is an illusion — that sovereignty is an absolute illusion that has to be put behind us. The days of hiding behind borders and fences are long gone. We have to work together and cooperate together to make a better world. And that means taking on some of the old shibboleths, taking on some of the old historic memories and images of our own country and recognising that we’re part of humankind.”

  …. The New American did know and did warn, repeatedly, that the ongoing U.S./EU/NATO/UN-led wars that Sutherland and his fellow globalists were/are waging under various rubrics (war on terror, regime change, Arab Spring) would have terrible consequences, including, as he now puts it “inevitable … huge migratory flows.” Now that the inevitable has happened (and continues to happen, because Sutherland and the globalists continue their obliteration and devastation of entire regions), those responsible for the carnage have a “solution” that will compound the desolation.

  But who is Peter Sutherland besides being the UN’s special representative for international migration, and why should anything he says matter anymore than the bloviations of any other nattering nabobs at the UN? Sutherland is no mere UN factotum. Although not a household name, Sutherland is an insider’s insider who is well known worldwide in the corridors of real power. The UN News Centre introduction gives only a faint hint concerning his stature in the ranks of the global political and economic elite, noting: “A former Attorney General of Ireland, Mr. Sutherland has served as EU Commissioner for competition policy, and headed the Global Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and the World Trade Organization (WTO).”

  The EU Commission, GATT, and WTO posts are all Big League positions, but the UN News Centre neglected to include the most important biographical data that would tell readers/viewers why Sutherland was named to those top leadership roles. Here are some key clues:
  –
  • Until this past June, Sutherland was chairman of Goldman Sachs International, the global banking behemoth known to critics as the “vampire squid” for its predatory, corrupt practices;
  • he is a regular attendee and former Steering Committee member of the ultra-secretive, ultra-elite Bilderberg Group;
  • he was European chairman of the Trilateral Commission;
  • he is past chairman of British Petroleum (BP);
  • he is honorary president of the Transatlantic Policy Network (TPN), one of the principal corporatist insider organizations promoting EU-U.S. merger through the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP);
  • as a principal architect of the WTO, he has been hailed as “the father of globalization”; and
  • as a top Eurocrat, he played a lead role in destroying national sovereignty by replacing national currencies (and national monetary control) with the euro, as well as engineering the “borderless Europe,” which the current migrant crisis is now proving to have been so destructive.
