On January 6, 2025, Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social:
Many assumed Trump’s remarks were only facetious. Or were they? Just two days later, at a press conference, Trump said he wanted to incorporate Greenland into the United States. Although this, too, was widely dismissed as absurd, Trump quickly underscored his seriousness by sending Donald Trump, Jr., on a trip to Greenland.

All this is being heralded to the President’s followers as part of his plan to “Make America Great Again.”
To the contrary, Trump’s ambition to expand America is nothing more than a repackaging of an old satanic plan to establish world government through regional stepping stones.
To research my first book The Shadows of Power (1988), a study of the globalist power brokers at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), I went through every issue of Foreign Affairs, the CFR’s flagship journal, going back to its first issue in 1922. There was no Internet then, no search engines. All facts had to be gleaned from hard-copy documents.
In going through Foreign Affairs, I recognized that the CFR had abandoned the idea of, in one swoop, unifying the planet under a world government. Instead, they reasoned, they could gradually bring about global governance by first organizing regional alliances. This would be a “stepping stone” approach (also known as “boiling the frog”) to the ultimate goal of an all-powerful one-world government.
For example, we read in the January 1926 issue of Foreign Affairs:
Locarno [a European collective security agreement] represents an attempt to arrive at the same end by stages,—by treaties and local regional pacts which are permeated with the spirit of the Geneva Protocol,—these to be constantly supplemented, until at last, within the framework of the League of Nations, they are absorbed by one great world convention guaranteeing world security and peace by the enforcing of the rule of law in inter-state life.1
Shortly after America joined NATO in 1949, Elmo Roper of the CFR issued a pamphlet entitled “The Goal is Government of All the World” in which he mused:
But the Atlantic Pact (NATO) need not be our last effort toward greater unity. It can be converted into one more sound and important step working toward world peace. It can be one of the most positive moves in the direction of One World.2
In his April 1964 article for Foreign Affairs, “The World Order in the Sixties,” Roberto Ducci wrote:
Pending the formation of such wider and more responsible political units, encouragement should be given to regional organizations, of the type recognized by the U.N. Charter. They should be strengthened so as to make them able to keep the peace in their respective areas: NATO in the North Atlantic and the Council of Europe in the European regions, O.A.S in the Americas, O.A.U. in Africa, SEATO in Southeast Asia.3
The European Union is probably the epitome of regional government. It was, by design, evolved out of the Common Market. Today, of course, it has its own diplomatic representatives, the European Parliament, and a common currency in the euro. Long before anyone heard the term “European Union,” French statesman and journalist Raymond Bourgine warned in the July 1968 issue of Spectacle Du Monde:
The Europe of Jean Monnet is the famous “Supranational Europe” to which member States will progressively surrender their attributes of national sovereignty. In the end their economies will be integrated by Administrators in Brussels while awaiting a European Assembly, elected by popular vote, which will turn itself into a legislative one and give birth to a new European political power. The national states will then wither away.4
Zbigniew Brzezinski laid the strategy on the line at Mikhail Gorbachev’s 1995 State of the World Forum: “We cannot leap into world government in one quick step. . . . The precondition for genuine globalization is progressive regionalization.”5
In 2005, President George W. Bush attempted to create a North American Union that would emulate the European Union, turning an economic partnership (NAFTA) into a political union, just as the EU had evolved out of an economic partnership (the Common Market).
