And now for a world government

And now for a world government by Gideon Rachman

In the Financial Times, no less. Apparently, according to Rachman, we're confronted by the Furies:

1. Global Warming
2. Global Financial Crisis
3. Global War on Terror.

and that

So, it seems, everything is in place. For the first time since homo sapiens began to doodle on cave walls, there is an argument, an opportunity and a means to make serious steps towards a world government.

In my opinion, 2) and 3) are almost certainly engineered and gaining rapid momentum as we speak. 1) is thrown in for good measure. World government (or whatever other terms exists for the concept) sounds just like another excuse to grab more power and subject us innocents to stringent IMF loans and random slaughter.

In Greek mythology, The Furies are depicted as completely foul: aged women with dogs' heads, bats' wings, black skin, hair of snakes; their smell was foul, and they oozed foul substances from their mouths, eyes, and noses; their noises were like an old woman's cackle or a dog's bark. Sometimes they appeared as a cloud of insects. I'm not looking forward to meeting them.
