“Mikhail Gorbachev was a man of remarkable vision,” declared President Joe Biden, who also extolled the “courage” of the former Soviet dictator, whom he described as “a rare leader.”
According to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, Mikhail Gorbachev was “a one-of-a kind statesman who changed the course of history. He did more than any other individual to bring about the peaceful end of the Cold War.” “The world has lost a towering global leader, committed multilateralist, and tireless advocate for peace,” Guterres said.
“Gorbachev wrote world history. He exemplified how a single statesman can change the world for the better,” said former German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Russian President Vladimir Putin stressed Gorbachev’s “humanitarian” side. “I will especially note the great humanitarian, charitable, and educational activities that Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev has been conducting in recent years,” Putin said in a statement released by the Kremlin.
Former U.S. Secretary of State James A. Baker III averred that Gorbachev was “a giant” and “an honest broker” whom he could trust. “History will remember Mikhail Gorbachev as a giant who steered his great nation toward democracy,” Baker said. “The free world misses him greatly.”
So it has gone with the garish gushings for Gorby from the great and the good of the globalist chorus since it was announced that the sainted communist leader had passed to his eternal reward on August 30. The media-driven Cult of Gorby reached its zenith in the 1980s and 90s, but then continued with impressive spurts in the early 2000s. The Gorbachev cult far exceeded the infamous cult of personality campaigns of mass-murdering dictators Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong, which were directed by their respective communist parties and carried out by their state-owned-and-controlled media/propaganda organs. The Gorby cult phenomenon is different in that it is global and is shamelessly nurtured and promoted by free world politicians, academics, think tanks, and — especially — the media.
But not everyone has joined the adulation. “Lithuanians will not glorify Gorbachev,” said Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis. “We will never forget the simple fact that his army murdered civilians to prolong his regime’s occupation of our country. His soldiers fired on our unarmed protestors and crushed them under his tanks. That is how we will remember him.”
Comments like those of Landsbergis by the victims of Soviet atrocities and Soviet occupation are dismissed by the Gorby adoration choir as the bitter rantings of zealots still stuck in the Cold War mentality. However, the effusive, reverent panegyrics to Gorbachev by the globalist elites are providing a major clue to millions of awakening people around the world regarding Gorbachev’s real role in the decades-long joint effort by communists and globalists to bring about “convergence” of the communist and non-communist nations under a world government.
Gorbachev and UN: Pushing Enviro-Leninism
Gorbachev has played a starring role in this extended drama to create a communist-style global regime, the most recent expression of which is the Great Reset announced by the billionaires’ club known as the World Economic Forum (WEF) in 2020. Their Great Reset intends to “reset” the planet and all humanity — economically, politically, socially, biologically, morally, and spiritually — along communist lines, with central planning, control, and regimentation of every aspect of human life.
Klaus Schwab, the croaky, guttural-voiced James Bond villain who runs the WEF from Davos, Switzerland, has been a key Gorbachev promoter among the Western business and banking elites for decades. Canadian billionaire Maurice Strong, a co-founder with Schwab of the WEF, became Gorbachev’s boon companion. United Nations Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali appointed Strong to be Secretary-General of the UN Conference on Environment and Development, better known as the Earth Summit, which took place in Rio de Janeiro in 1992.
The globalists used the Earth Summit to stoke the fears of environmental apocalypse and promote the idea that only global governance could save us. Out of the Earth Summit came a slew of UN treaties to implement a Soviet-style global green regime to respond to the “existential crises”: global warming, acid rain, deforestation, ozone depletion, biological diversity, etc.
To deliver on these objectives, Maurice Strong and Mikhail Gorbachev became a globalist lobbying tag team. Together with Steven Rockefeller they drafted the UN’s Earth Charter to be a spiritual/environmental guide for humanity. “My hope is that this charter will be a kind of Ten Commandments, a ‘Sermon on the Mount,’ that provides a guide for human behavior toward the environment in the next century and beyond,” Gorbachev stated in a 1997 interview with the Los Angeles Times.
Not that the Earth Charter is in any way compatible with orthodox Judeo-Christian understandings of the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount. Quite the opposite; the Earth Charter is intended to replace the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount with a new, pantheistic, “green” spirituality, which was telegraphed in the Earth Summit’s “Declaration of the Sacred Earth” that endorsed “the superior laws of Divine Nature.”
Following the Earth Summit, Gorbachev launched Green Cross International and Strong established the Earth Council, which the dynamic duo jointly used to propel the schemes for global control.
To truly grasp the seminal role Mikhail Gorbachev has played in the global Deep State’s convergence game plan, one must read the works of Soviet KGB defector Anatoliy Golitsyn: New Lies for Old (1984) and The Perestroika Deception (1998). We have written about Golitsyn and his warnings to the West many times over the years. For a summary of the Golitsyn theses, we recommend reading the three-part interview The New American conducted in 1995 with Christopher Story, publisher of the U.K.-based Soviet Analyst and official publisher of Golitsyn’s works:
Part One: Dispelling Disinformation
Part Two: Leninists Still Leading
Part Three: Red March to Global Tyranny
As a researcher and journalist, I have over the decades covered Mikhail Gorbachev’s rise, speeches, writings, official actions, and global peregrinations. I have also seen him up-close and personal at the United Nations and, particularly, at his high-level State of the World Forum events (sponsored by the Gorbachev Foundation), which have drawn glittering constellations of presidents, prime ministers, potentates, princes, poohbahs, and celebrity poseurs. At two of his State of the World Forums (San Francisco in 1995 and New York City in 2000), I was one of only five journalists admitted into the inner sanctum, where I could mix freely with the Gorby glitterati. (And I confess that, under the circumstances, I did even shake the hand of the Exalted One).
As we have documented at The New American many times over the years, Gorbachev has been an unstinting and explicit proponent of a “New World Order” and “world government” under an empowered United Nations.
He also remained, as far as we know, a committed atheist and Marxist-Leninist. On December 23, 1989, Gorbachev declared to the Congress of People’s Deputies assembled in Moscow, “I am a communist. For some that may be a fantasy. But for me it is my main goal.” During a trip to Byelorussia on February 26, 1991, Gorbachev said, “I am not ashamed to say that I am a communist and adhere to the communist idea, and with this I will leave for the other world.”
Well, he has left for that “other world,” and it is not likely that he was received by God Almighty and the Heavenly Host with the same hosannahs that were lavished on him by earthly sycophants and fellow conspirators.
For a better understanding this “great humanitarian” and the pivotal role Gorbachev has played in the globalist-communist scheme to push humanity into the abyss of Orwellian totalitarianism, we suggest reading the following articles:
