UK PM Calls for World Financial Constitution

In Gordon Brown's speech, he is exactly right. We have suffered a speedy transformation of world economic systems. The last two years have been transformative. Read the following excerpted transcript, or watch the speech starting at 2:00 with the following in mind: the prophecy in Revelation will come true. A global financial system will be implemented. Revelation 13:16-17 - "He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name."

UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown World Economy Speech "Only in retrospect do people see the significance of the times in which they are living through. But in the last two years our world has been suffering not just an ordinary economic downturn but what will be remembered as the first crisis of globalization. It's the first crisis of a world being totally transformed by the scale of global financial flows, but the global sourcing of goods, and by the speed, the scale and the scope of globalization itself. And it's a world of massive new opportunities that I want to talk about. But also as we found  it is a world of massive new uncertainties and insecurities too. What we have experienced is not just the inflation-driven economic crises, such as we have seen in t he past 50 years, but a wholesale crisis that has gone right to the heart of the global financial system itself. And so it is time for us, as we reflect on these events, to draw conclusions about te new framework and the new policies we do need to build a stronger and a fairer world economy that will meet the need of its citizens in this new global age. ...  Without radical change...we will not be able to emerge... So here are my proposals for discussion: First of all, I believe we need nothing short of a World Constitution for the Global Financial System."
