COMMON LAW VERSUS THE GLOBALIST AGENDA COMMON LAW VERSUS GLOBALIST AGENDA THE According to social justice advocate Malcolm McClure, Common Law is democracy’s last best hope, particularly in the face of sweeping changes caused by globalisation. In the next century, nations as we know them will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. Ctenha Talhatt Clintan adminioteatian Can £ Ctata — Strobe Talbott, Clinton administration Secretary of State, quoted in Time Magazine, 20 July 1992! A Visionary, Awakened by Social Injustice I will stand in the truth, even if no other were to stand with me or even if no other were to see what I see. — Malcolm McClure alcolm McClure might have completed a series of novel inventions using new physics to construct alternative energy sources had he not been so deeply troubled by the politically turbulent times of his formative years. Having grown up in a small Australian rural town in the State of Victoria, the young boy showed early signs of innovative brilliance through his ability to distil the simple essence from complicated theories and processes. Even as a child, his passion for astronomy and physics separated him from his peer group as he immersed himself in his own laboratory experiments and gazed through his telescope at the constellations by night. During the 1980s and early 1990s, the adult Malcolm McClure was conducting his physics research and teaching science, while a wider experiment was being conducted on the social, cultural and political fabric of the world's people and their nations. Before most others, Malcolm McClure sensed the wrenching social changes that swept the world in the wake of globalisation. Unlike other observers, however, he found himself inca- pable of accepting the social injustice that accompanied such innocuous-sounding policies as "economic rationalism", "deregulation" and "privatisation". His perturbations led him unex- pectedly to change his life's direction towards social justice issues. Through an attitude he calls "standing in the truth (no matter what)", he has since focused his work into an original and vigorous social movement that is rapidly gaining national recog- nition and is set to go beyond Australia's borders. He calls his concept "non-political, and exportable to anywhere". Though Mr McClure accepts there are many forms of social expression, he has his own ideal for achieving social justice that does not include the usual political populist parties, think tanks, social and charitable organisations, petitions and political demonstrations Elegant in their simplicity, Malcolm McClure's ideas have intrigued some outspoken activists and thinkers. This is the story of Malcolm McClure and his stand for democracy in a world rapidly mov- ing towards a one-world government and economy. He is a man with values that sharply contrast those of these turbulent times. He is a man, puzzling to some, heroic to others, who consents to no tyranny from a temporal power. Malcolm McClure has resurrected the Common Law from the boundless realm of the spirit and from the Constitution and all other significant and sacred democratic human rights doc- trines in which it is firmly embedded, and reapplied its principles to the urgent needs of peo- ple in the world today. It is necessary to present the unique and complex issues of this period of history first, for a better understanding of Mr McClure's contributions. by Eve Hillary © 2004 Email: evehillary@smartchat.net.au For more information about Malcolm McClure and the UPMART initiatives, visit the website: http://www.upmart.org JUNE — JULY 2004 NEXUS + 17 by Eve Hillary © 2004 www.nexusmagazine.com
