Just few days ago, Nobel Peace Prize winner and former secretary of state for President Nixon, Henry Kissinger, gave an interview on CNBC at the New York Stock Exchange. In his interview, speaking of President-Elect Obama, Kissinger said:
His task will be to develop an overall strategy for <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />America in this period when, really, a new world order can be created. It's a great opportunity, it isn't just a crisis.
 
The crisis is a great opportunity? Barack Obama's White House Chief of Staff, Rahm, Emanuel told business leaders in a November 2008 meeting that the financial crisis was "an opportunity to do things you could not do before." Emanuel has said, "you never want a serious crisis to go to waste." Sounds like Kissinger, Obama and Emanuel are singing from the same song-sheet. But wait, we can add Mikhail Gorbachev to the chorus. Gorbachev is the last leader of the Soviet Union and is president of the International Foundation for Socio-Economic and Political Studies in Moscow and has been pushing his one-world religion and one-world government ideas for years. In fact, Gorbachev has conducted much of his work right here in America from an office in San Francisco. On January 1, 2009, Gorbachev wrote a column in the International Herald Tribune. Gorbachev also seemed gleeful over the financial crisis and the great opportunity for using this crisis to further his globalist agenda:
 
The G-20 summit meeting in Washington foreshadowed a new format of global leadership, brining together the countries responsible for the future of the world economy. And more than just the economy is at stake. …The economic and political balance in the world has changed. It is now a given that a world with a single power center, in any shape or guise, is no longer possible. The global challenge of a financial and economic tsunami can only be met by working together.
 
Working together for what purpose? Gorbachev tells us when he writes:
 
A new concept is emerging for addressing the crisis at the national and international levels…If current ideas for reforming the world's financial and economic institutions are consistently implemented, that would suggest we are finally beginning to understand the importance of global governance.
 
A January 8, 2009, an AP article by Emma Vandore told of a two-day meeting hosted by French President Nicolas Sarkozy. Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair who has been calling for a one-world interfaith dialog for years is also calling for a new financial order based on "values other than the maximum short-term profits."
 
Sarkozy, who I think perceives himself as a potential world leader, said:
           
In the 21st Century, there is no longer a single nation who can say what we should do or what w should think… We cannot accept the status quo. We should discuss how each of us in managing his currency, his interest rates…In the capitalism of the 21st century, there is room for the state.
 
When the state moves in it ceases to be capitalism and that is exactly the goal; the end of capitalism and the fulfillment of the dream of humanists and socialists; global government.
 
Globalism has always been tied to occultism and so do not be surprised when you see more and more evidence that those calling for globalism practice pagan spirituality.
 
I, and a few others, have predicted for years that a global crisis of some kind would be used to implement the freedom robbing tyranny of global governance. Is this going to be that crisis?
