And the day that "executive authority" arrives, I'll be one of the partisans shooting at its agents, setting off IED's, and using terror as my weapon of resistance. 

I still believe in the balancing required by the system of sovereign states.

Yeah, some of it seems like the scarier part of "a new world order". I think his idea was that the executive would still be a council, like if the G20 were all at the summit level. The more (economic) skin you have in the game the more your vote counts. He actually says this social evolution is in play, it is inevitable that we (in the Core) adopt some process and criteria for deciding what to do, and who gets it.
