Dear Editor,
Since the Gulf War broke out so has the phrase "New World
Order."
In most people's minds, this means world cooperation and peace. That is
the way it is presented to them in the major media. That is why most Americans are
in favor of it.
What they do not know though, is what the leaders of the world have in
mind when they use this term. For many world leaders, world peace seems to mean, "I
get this piece and you get this piece."
Although since the time of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, George Bush has
used the phrase "New World Order" in virtually every major speech he has given
to the American population, he did not coin this phrase. Gorbachev was the first, world
leader to use it openly in our country in his recent visit.
President Bush wants to see a New World Order with the United Nations
performing as envisioned by its founders -- as does Mikhail S. Gorbachev. Since the Soviet
Union is a vital member of the United Nations (one of the five permanent members of the
Security Counsel, for example), we should consider closely what they envision for the
United Nations and the New World Order.
In a memorandum to the United Nations, the Soviet Union recently
submitted a series of proposals, in which they stated that their goal is to turn the
United Nations into a "global management center." ("Soviets Submit
Proposals to Improve U.N.," Salt Lake Tribune, Oct. 12, 1990.) They want to
revive the Military Staff Committee -- one of the U.N. founder's dreams -- as a means of
"curbing aggression:" a first step toward establishing a U.N. army with an
extended role of covering "security in all its aspects." (Ibid.) This
official statement from the Soviet Union stated their desire to see the United Nations
become the "central mechanism in building the new world order." (Ibid.)
A"global management center" having military power by which
its decrees can be enforced is world government -- by definition.
And what kind of world government would that be? What sort of peace
would we have? To use the words of Mikhail Gorbachev in his book Perestroika: New
Thinking for Our Country and the World (which he wrote exclusively for Western
consumption) "Upon the success of perestroika depends the future of socialism and the
future of peace." (p. 44.) His idea of peace is intricately tied to socialism.
Throughout this book, which he addresses to the United States, he
states emphatically that "every part of our program of perestroika -- and the program
as a whole, for that matter -- is fully based on the principle of more socialism and more
democracy." (p. 23.) Gorbachev rejoices in the fact that "the initial phase of
world socialism's rise and development is over," explaining that "the socialist
system has firmly established itself in a large group of nations" (including the
United States). (p. 150.) He then states that we are now embarking on the next and final
phase, which is to unite those countries into a "socialist community," to and
finally establish "world socialism." (p. 151.) That is what perestroika is all
about, and that is what Mikhail Gorbachev means by "New World Order."
Unfortunately, the official Bush administration policy is to help
"perestroika to succeed." (Daily Herald, 6/11/90, p. 13-4.)
That is why a handful of concerned Americans, who have taken the effort
to study the truth, vehemently oppose the New World Order. They do not want world
socialism.
If you have doubts about the above inforrnation, please consult the sources cited. The
claims made above are not merely my opinion, they are public statements made by the top
leaders of the world.
