Most national, state and international laws written in the past 30 years have been created to serve the world's political and corporate power elite as the one-world government elite sector has seconded politicians in governments around the world to create, pass, enact and ratify millions of pieces of legislation in the form of statute laws, acts, amendments, agreements and treaties. However, in most con- stitutional democracies, politicians have no power but for that vested in them by the electors and the Constitution. This is the case in the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and other countries. There is a growing awareness among individuals like Malcolm McClure and groups around the world that these laws, passed without the people's consent, are technically invalid. By legislating illegally, renegade politicians form renegade governments which become servants of the global government. These structures form the global government-in-waiting which has been patiently awaiting the time when the world's assets and people are to be delivered fully into its fold. The world government has set up all the necessary instrumentali- ties including the World Health Organization, the global health police and the World Trade Organization (WTO), which serves as trading police to ensure all corporations have a captive market for their goods, even against popular wishes—such as occurs when the WTO regularly threatens legal action against countries unwilling to buy genetically engineered products. The World Bank and IMF serve as the world bankers, a cabal of extremely wealthy private individuals who increasingly hold a mortgage over the world's assets (without the owners' consent). The world congress includes the UN General Assembly and Security Council, NATO as the police, with the global judiciary being the International Court of Justice.
