One of the more obvious ties of Sci-Fi to globalism is Star Trek's Federation of Planets logo, which is nearly identical to those of the U.S.S.R. and the United Nations. Anyone else trying to pull something like this off would be charged with copyright infringement. The most offensive effort to fuse Sci-Fi with the American consciousness was the metaphor of Darth Vader as having the persona of both the Son of God and Satan, born of a virgin birth no less. This was one of the most insightful issues of THE NEW AMERICAN yet. Keep up the good work.
