The collapse of the Soviet Union didn't mark the end of the Cold War. The Cold War never ended, and we're losing this war. As the collapse became imminent, they were already enacting their final strategy. The case is rather simple, and Mikhail Gorbachev is the key.


“Gentlemen, comrades, do not be concerned about all you hear about Glasnost and Perestroika and democracy in the coming years. They are primarily for outward consumption. There will be no significant internal changes in the Soviet Union, other than for cosmetic purposes. Our purpose is to disarm the Americans and let them fall asleep.” -Mikhail Gorbachev, speech to the Soviet Politburo, November 1987


As the Soviet collapse became imminent in the final years, the Communist strategy became to infiltrate global environmental organizations. Gorbachev was active in this effort as eary as 1990.



In 1992, the year following the Soviet collapse, the framework was already underway following the UN's Earth Summit, after which he founded Green Cross International (GCI) officially in 1993. That same year, Gorbachev's GCI was the fountainhead of the infamous Kyoto summit, during which he sat as the president of the proceedings. In the video above he actually 'jokes' about being the "dictator" of the conference.

The idea to infiltrate environmentalist organizations was a smart move, as with the right propaganda and phony climate fraud environmentalists would be easy targets as unwitting minions. You see with an issue like Global Warming, the only way it could be solved, if it even could, assuming it were real, would be by a global government dicating and rationing the worlds resources.

As it turns out, that exact thing is being worked towards, as we speak, in Copenhagen. It's no wonder they also have the head of the UN post op-eds calling for climate based global government, as this year the New York Times hired Mikhail as an op-ed columnist. His column from today is titled "We Have a Real Emergency", and in it he urges the typical 'we need a global government to stop catastrophic climate change' type rhetoric. Similar words are found in another op-ed he wrote earlier this year:


The second question concerns the G-20’s place within the system of global institutions. What is this group: a “global politburo,” a “club of the powerful,” a prototype for a world government? How will it interact with the United Nations?
www.nytimes.com...


Greenpeace co-founder Patrick Moore eventually left the organization as after the 'end of the Cold War', communists hijacked the movement including the organization he helped create:

(After the Cold War 'ended')"suddenly, the international peace movement had a lot less to do. Pro-Soviet groups in the West were discredited. Many of their members moved into the environmental movement, bringing with them their eco-Marxism and pro-Sandinista sentiments.

"A lot of those in the peace movement were anti-American and, to an extent, pro-Soviet. By virtue of their anti-Americanism, they tended to sometimes favor the communist approach. A lot of those people, a lot of those social activists, moved into the environmental movement once the peace movement was no longer relevant." Social activists, he suggests, "are now using the rhetoric of environmentalism to promote other collectivist agendas, such as class struggle -- which I personally believe is a legitimate area, but I don't believe it's legitimate to mix it up with environmentalism."
findarticles.com...


I argue that the UN and the co-opted Environmentalist movement are key facets in the "ruthless and monolithic conspiracy" that JFK warned us all about, as I showcased in my (few days old) short film exposing the Climategate UN-IPCC data manipulation scheme to trump up phony "Global Warming" hysteria, in the context of the "New World Order":


(click to open player in new window)


At the end of the video, after all the leaked CRU emails, numerous Western world leaders are shown calling for global government, aka a "new world order" headed by the UN. As it turns out, Mikhail has been calling for the same thing for many decades:


“In October, 1917 we parted with the Old World, rejecting it once and for all. We are moving toward a New World, a world of Communism. We shall NEVER turn off that road.” -Mikhail Gorbachev at the Kremlin in Moscow, Nov. 2, 1987

“Further global progress is now possible only through a quest for universal consensus in the movement towards a New World Order.” - Mikhail Gorbachev, in an address to the United Nations, December 1988


In fact, it appears that Mikhail was publicly using the term before Bush Sr. did in 1991.

Today, virtually all world leaders are openly calling for a UN headed "New World Order" global government as I chronicled here at ATS just last night:

S & F!

There is absolutely no doubt that the AGW advocates want a complete conversion of the world to Socialism. This has been apparent for years now. Another good article concerning Gorbachev, global warming and socialism is here:
www.freerepublic.com...



Unmasking Global Warming: The Case of Mikhail Gorbachev

It is as paradoxical as it is revealing that the man who now parades as an angel of ecological salvation is by virtue of his actions at Chernobyl and elsewhere responsible for more environmental destruction than any other person alive.

The most remarkable aspect of the man-made global warming claim is the lack of solid scientific evidence for it. Yet there are those whose apparent goal it is to advance this theory at all costs. Blatant in their disregard of the facts, they try to convince as many as would believe of the real nature of this alleged danger. But since this activism does not rest on scientific evidence or hard facts, it must be driven by motives other than those publicly stated. This much at least should be obvious, but sadly far too many people have failed to make this inference. Blinded by fear, they have not considered the possibility that those fanning the flames of hysteria may harbor ulterior motives.

To see just what those motives may be, we need to go no further than Mikhail Gorbachev, whose remarkable political transformation offers a striking insight into the real character of the man-made global warming movement.

Formerly leader of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev is now one of the world’s most vocal global warming activists. This is an unlikely role indeed for a man who during his years in power showed no inclination to address environmental issues. This could not have been for lack of opportunity, given that he presided over a country which suffered from extensive ecological damage wrought by years of gross disregard and mismanagement. Had he had the inclination, there was much to do about the lamentable state of his country’s environmental condition. Gorbachev, however, not only did nothing, but brazenly continued the Soviet regime’s ecologically disastrous policies.

More from Patrick Moore:




Thinking about 'nukes' this reminds me of another statement Gorbie has made recently:

believe that the G-20 could find a key place in the architecture of world politics. If it helps to reverse the economic crisis, it will earn the credibility to lead.

One of the problems ripe for debate is the militarization of world politics and economics. Militarization deflects resources from the real economy, stimulates conflicts and creates an illusion that military rather than political solutions are viable. By initiating a serious discussion within the G-20, world leaders can build momentum for the work of those U.N. organizations that are responsible for progress in this area — the Security Council and the Conference on Disarmament in Geneva.

Following the London summit meeting, Prime Minister Gordon Brown of Britain called the gathering a step toward a “new progressive era of international cooperation.” Though there is still a way to go before that becomes a reality, it is the direction in which we must move.

Czech prez: Environmentalism is new communism


As the House Energy and Commerce Committee prepares to question former Vice President Al Gore tomorrow morning about global warming, Czech President Vaclav Klaus is warning congressmen that environmental extremism is the modern equivalent of communism.

Responding yesterday to U.S. Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, and former House Speaker Denny Hastert, R-Ill., the Czech leader said: "It becomes evident that while discussing climate we are not witnessing a clash of views about the environment, but a clash of views about human freedom."

"As someone who lived under communism for most of my life I feel obliged to say that the biggest threat to freedom, democracy, the market economy and prosperity at the beginning of the 21st century is not communism or its various softer variants," said Klaus, responding to questions posed by the two lawmakers. "Communism was replaced by the threat of ambitious environmentalism."

Leftists Noam Chomsky & John Pilger have argued for many years that the Cold War was just a phony scheme perpetrated by both sides to justify taking over the world. I mean, obviously each side did do this, but the jist I've gotten from both of them implies a sort of collaboration, much like the Democrats & Republicans.

The elitist families I named were and are key figures behind the UN. So even if they didnt encourage communism, it could be said that the elites from both sides eventually came to have a meeting of the minds. Why wouldnt they? The elites from each side both seek to dominate the entire world, yet couldnt defeat each other. At the same time, the ehtics of each side are consumed in control freak domination. Considering that, the idea of them having a meeting of the minds later on is perfectly plausible.


Whatever the price of the Chinese Revolution, it has obviously succeeded not only in producing more efficient and dedicated administration, but also in fostering high morale and community of purpose. The social experiment in China under Chairman Mao's leadership is one of the most important and successful in human history.– David Rockefeller

There was no trade with Russia so a Cold War was declared.
Except something unexpected happened.
Russia wore us out with Sputnik and the missile gap with the
German scientists they got after WWII.
The US and Truman were busy with the free energy saucers
and UFO which occupied von Braun until he had to go on call
and launch satellites.
Now the NWO or Illuminati or OWG (One World Government)
or Communists - Rockefeller -??? want the Russian raw materials
and try and defeat their sources of income.
That all they know is to plunder the earth and deny the ether energy
they stopped with Tesla but came back from Germany in 1945.

With Carbon Tax liars in our face we need alternate energy in a hurry.

The earth is warming up, that is not a conspiracy. The leaked CRU emails contained absolutely nothing controversial. All the quotes touted by the ignorant conservatives have been analyzed and explained, revealing absolutely no conspiracy. If you actually spent 5 minutes reading more than just one sentence, researching the people who wrote the emails you would discover their true meaning. Deny Ignorance is supposed to be our motto but all I see is ignorance regarding this topic.

Bottom line, anybody who thought the US won the cold war was sadly mistaken. However, at least for the moment the freest places in the world, for the common man, are those places that were recently behind the iron curtain. It may just be because the ptb are focused on other parts of the world and it is only a lull before the storm but for now these people well recall tyranny and resist it well.
Peace be with you all.

Some other members and I have been presenting this idea for years in the forums. But unlike other conspiracy theories, most westerners now-a-days just laugh at the mention of Communism because they don't like to admit the simple truth they have embraced without realizing it many of the same doctrines that came out of Communist dictatorships.

You can see this fact by the statements made by many Liberals/Progressives/Democrats even in these forums who at the mention of "MANDATORY" Community Service, they claim "it is for the good of the nation."

That sort of mentality allows for Socialist dictatorships to form.

What each person chooses to do is his, or her choice, and not the choice of other Liberals/Progressives/Democrats.

You won't believe how many times I have read in these forums comments from American members, and members from other nations who think that giving away individual freedom "for the good of all" is a good thing.

If a person for examples chooses to join the military it should be his/her choice. A person doesn't become better by being in the military.

I have been in the military and even though most servicemen, and servicewomen are in essense good people, I met, and have seen many scumbag Sailors, and even Marines who don't give a crap about anyone else but themselves.

I have seen this same thing happen with some of the higher ranks within the military. Those, who like me, have served should know this is a fact. The military is not a life for everyone, and it should be an individual's choice to whether they want to join or not.

The U.S. military has for many decades been a voluntary force and that is part of what makes it one of the best trained miltiary in the world.

In the same way "Community Service" SHOULD BE VOLUNTARY... But we have an administration now, and a President who thinks he has the right to tell the American people what they MUST do with their free time.

They have even began to implement Socialist laws that will REQUIRE Americans to serve MANDATORILY in Community Service and other programs, including making Americans from age 18-25 MANDATORILY join the military, or at least the New Obama Military Youth.

Emmanuel Rham, and President Obama themselves have stated that one of their goals will be to REQUIRE from EVERY American to do some form of "MANDATORY Community Service", and these two claim that this "will teach people what it means to be an American".....

We have even heard from Michelle Obama state "my husband is not going to allow the American people to return to their normal lives..." or some similar statement. But apparently people have been too blinded by the color of the Presiden't skin to read between the lines and understand what he has been saying.

I really don't care if a President of the United States is black, white, hispanic, japanese, or whatever as long as he/she upholds the Constitution of the United States, and embraces the principles which have made this nation great. Instead we have gotten a President who apologizes to everyone, including extremist Islamics, and instead of being proud of the U.S. he has showed to be ashamed of it, and has been wokring hard to change the Republic into anothe Socialist dictatorship.

Obviously they have no idea what it means to be an American. Americans have NEVER given away their INDIVIDUAL FREEDOMS, but now-a-days Liberals/Progressives/Democrats and of course Socialists/COmmunists claim "giving away individual freedom for the good of all is the right thing to do"....

It is NOT the right thing to do because you are not just giving away your own individual freedom, but EVERYONE is being REQUIRED to do so.

Without INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM we are not more human beings. We merely become robots.

This is the main root problem within the Socialist/Communist system, and even the new names of these systems "Liberal/Progressive/Democrat..."

BTW, I am not claiming every Democrat is embracing Communism, but most Liberals/Progressives are, as well as quite a number of Democrats, more so those in power.

Anyway, since I joined this website for the first time I have been showing the statements of former high ranking Communist officers, and high ranking personnel from the former U.S.S.R. and also China who have been talking about a "Master Plan" in which they would deceive the world into believing "Communism is dead", just to have the west lower it's guard and to infiltrate it as well as to using several tactics to demonize the Capitalist system and mainly the U.S.

One of the former high ranking RUssian defectors who have spoken about this "Master Plan" to deceive the west has been Anatoliy Mikhaylovich Golitsyn.


Nagorno-Karabag: A Case Study in "Perestroika"
by Dennis R. Papazian, Ph.D.

Dr. Dennis R. Papazian is a professor of Soviet history, the founder/director of the Armenian Research Center at The University of Michigan, Dearborn, and a member of the faculty of the Center for Russian and East European Studies at The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. This paper is a preliminary draft/study written for oral delivery at the annual conference of the AAASS in Washington, DC, Friday, October 19, 1990.
........................

More recently, Anatoliy Golitsyn, a Soviet defector of high status, has suggested that the Soviet Union is capable of disinformation on such a massive scale that even the Borkenau system is no longer viable.2 In a book first published in 1984, and of necessity written before then, Golitsyn argues that the leadership of the whole Communist bloc came to an agreement in 1958 in which it established a long range program, a master plan, which it would realize through a large scale deception of the West, a monumental scam.

Golitsyn maintains that the goals of the master plan were to provide a more profound political stabilization of individual communist regimes by developing wider mass support, the rectification of economic weakness of the bloc by increased international trade and the acquisition of credits and high technology from the West, the creation of a substructure for an eventual world federation of communist states, political isolation of the US from its allies, developing influence among socialists in Western Europe and Japan, the dissolution of NATO, and an alignment between the Soviet Union and a neutral, preferably socialist, Western Europe; concerted action with nationalist leaders in the Third World to eliminate Western influence as a preliminary to absorbing them in a communist federation, shifting the balance of power in favor of the Communist world, and the ideological disarmament of the West to create favorable conditions for convergence of East and West on communist terms.3

Golitsyn predicts that the Soviet regime will be stabilized by the creation of spurious, controlled opposition movements and the use of those movements to neutralize genuine internal and external opposition, and that it will encourage communist parties to establish united fronts with socialist parties throughout the world thus increasing Soviet influence in parliaments and trade unions.4

Some of the techniques, according to Golitsyn, will be dissension within the bloc, unity of action behind disunity of words, a show of weakness before meeting with Western leaders or before major initiatives or negotiations, and the heavy use of disinformation.5 This disinformation will emanate from official Communist sources, unofficial Communist sources, and secret communist sources, much of it retrospective. It is to be delivered through Western newspapermen, scholars, officials, and the Soviet intelligentsia.

www.umd.umich.edu...

There are several of these former high ranking Russian military defectors who say the same thing. But every time this is mentioned the Librerals/Democrats/Progressives, and of course the Socialists/Communists just laugh and start making comments about McCarthy and how "Communism has never been a problem for the world"...

I understand that some people are unaware of what happens in Communist regimes, but their dismissing of anyone, and everyone who has experienced Communism and tries to show the truth is just mind boggling.

I am sure, like some of you probably arlready know, there are Socialist/Communist infiltrators trying to put the west in a "bad light."

There are people that in their ignorance blame EVERYTHING on the west, and mainly the U.S. meanwhile ignoring the attrocities committed by the Communists.

I find it ironic how many Librals/Progressives/Democrats, and of course including Socialists/Communists talk about how the U.S. "was the cause for the Vietnam war, and every other war" yet these same people ignore the fact that it was COMMUNIST REGIMES like the U.S.S.R. and China who started spreading their dissease of Socialism/Communism by force, and murdering entire families if anyone did not accept their views.....

It was the COMMUNIST REGIMES who murdered most of the millions of people in these wars... Yes unfortunately there were American forces who also committed attrocities, but not because of their Capitalistic views.

The Socialists/Communists have been infiltrating the U.S. for decades, which is another fact that former Russian military defectors have been talking about for decades, yet almost noone believed them.

For decades we have had Liberals/Progressives/Democrats or Socialists/Communists indoctrinating in schools and colleges children, and young adults into the "perfect Socialist/Communist System" and how "evil the western views are" which is something many naive Americans have been believing without question.

This thread has helped shed some light on a major question I always had: Why is Ecology LIBERAL? .. Not just Liberal like "Oh I am a Democrat", I mean so far left that it's hardly on the political spectrum.

I consider myself Conservative, but I also consider myself Green, eco friendly, a tree hugger, what ever you want to call it. I recycle when I can, I drive a small fuel efficient car, I buy organic and local and when I had a yard my family always grew our own veggies and some fruits. If I didn't love meat so much, I probably would be a vegetarian, but as it is... I see a cow and I want to eat it.. cannot help it.

But I would be physically assaulted (and a few times nearly have been) if I tried to join an eco friendly group, or discuss eco topics with a typical econut. They come off to me as extreme socialist to communist, totalitarian, love huge government, believe in socialist social programs, hate conservative ideology, typically are extreme in their views, have a leaning edge of anti-Americanism, and do not deny wishes for a one world government.

Ecology and Politics imo, do not belong together. I cannot fathom a way ecology and politics mixes, aside from government regulation or taxation (which econuts tend to love taxes and wealth sharing)

I have never met a member of say, greenpeace, who was a registered Republican. Does that mean conservatives are not eco-minded? Not at all.. I know of many people who are right leaning and are very environmentally friendly..

I know I am generalizing big time here, but no one, not a soul could deny it, almost every single environmentalist group is left leaning. And I've been told many times in debating econuts that all Conservatives want is to shoot bambi, burn the rainforest, enslave the world and build oil rigs.


I think though, we need a new word besides "Communist" .. because it's not Communist.. and it's more extreme than Socialism .. it's Global tyranny without a name!

Years ago, the New World Order split into two main camps. One faction seeks a global federation run by a global government (socialists); the other faction wants a global empire ruled by global corporations (fascists). But even by then, the global elite had long ago begun to control all the influential gears and levers of power around the world. For either faction to realize its objective, they had to work within the established elite cabal.

George W. Bush's grandfather, Prescott Bush was involved in a planned coup against FDR to try to shut down the momentum of the Socialist faction, and install a Fascist government in the US. But even after the coup was foiled, FDR chose not to let the public know about it, because in exposing the Fascist plot, it might also expose the secret Socialist agenda. After Sen Joseph McCarthy raised alarms about a "vast left-wing conspiracy", the Socialist faction was weakened and forced to shift strategies. By that time the military industrial complex had come into existence and readily joined forces with the Fascist faction, as did the oil industry. For the global elite simply seeking to expand and secure their power, the Fascists were looking like a better bet.

So the Socialists decided they'd have to temporarily set aside their principles, and, as they seriously needed financial backing to support them against their Fascist opponents, they began to cut deals with the banking industry and other corporations, and even became involved in the illegal drug trade.

For both factions, the stakes were high, extremely high. The Fascists feared a global government that would tightly regulate if not control the world's production and corporate profits. Individual freedom to build a business, run it as one sees fit, and reap as much reward as possible would be forever lost. No more rampant environmental destruction, sweatshops, child labor, slavery, murder of unionists and concentration of vast wealth. And because this global government would control the media and education, the libertarian values of independence, liberty and individual freedom would be lost forever. For their part, the Socialists feared the destruction of government, and a world overrun with corporate anarchy, where only a small handful of the super-rich ran and owned everything, with the rest of the global population relegated to slavery, with no rights and therefore no means of ever altering the status quo.

For both factions, the stakes could not be higher. We can easily ask, “but what about the American ideals, and Constitutional government, with its checks and balances? What about democracy, and a government that promotes both freedom and justice?” After 9-11, it should be clear that our American democracy has failed us. If our own government can pull off such a crime, and then cover it up, it proves that our system is flawed. People are too sheepish for democracy to work, and those with massive wealth and influence will always conspire against the common good. As far as both factions were concerned, if they decided to abide by the Constitution, laws, and human decency, it would only assure that the other faction would win and install its own form of global governance. And trying to expose the entire global conspiracy, as many politicians tried, has never succeeded.

By the 1980s, with rapid advances in technology, and worsening environmental destruction (dying oceans, decimated rainforests, growing pollution and population, loss of wild habitat), it was clear to the elite that they needed to bring about their New World Order as quickly as possible, before technological advances would allow their plot to be uncovered and sabotaged, and before more irreparable harm to the planet could be done.
