I saw this one coming...

Anyone who's studied history knows that no totalizing control system has ever functioned without the consent of the priesthoods. This goes back to the earliest days of civilization. The only real battles have been over which priesthood (all remnants in one form or another of the ancient "Brotherhood" system) will be calling the shots. Even the Nazis played ball - and the Soviets made a separate peace with the Church.

And lo and behold....

Gordon Brown has made an overtly religious call for a new world order based on the 'deep moral sense' shared by all faiths.

Making the first speech by a serving Prime Minister at St Paul's Cathedral in London, he quoted scripture as he urged people to unite to forge a new 'global society'.

The Prime Minister argued that through all faiths, traditions and heritages runs a 'single powerful modern sense demanding responsibility from all and fairness to all'.

He quoted the Christian doctrine of 'do to others what you would have them do unto you' and highlighted similar principles in Judaism, Islam, Hinduism and Sikhism.
