Former Soviet leader says protest movement highlights need for “global governance”

Former Communist leader Mikhail Gorbachev told an audience at Lafayette College on Wednesday night that the United States’ economic problems heralded the need for a new American “perestroika,” defined by a “new world order” and a system of “global governance”.
Speaking to a crowd of 3,600 people during an event that was broadcast live nationwide, Gorbachev made reference to riots and demonstrations that have swept the world over the last two years, including the Occupy Wall Street movement in the United States.
“The world needs goals that will bring people together,” he said. “Some people in the United States were pushing the idea of creating a global American empire, and that was a mistake from the start. Other people in America are now giving thought to the future of their country. The big banks, the big corporations, are still paying the same big bonuses to their bosses. Was there ever a crisis for them? . . . I believe America needs its own perestroika.”
How will this American perestroika manifest itself? As a “new world order” characterized by a system of “global governance,” according to Gorbachev.
“Others, including myself, have spoken about a new world order, but we are still facing the problem of building such a world order…problems of the environment, of backwardness and poverty, food shortages…all because we do not have a system of global governance,” he said.
“We cannot leave things as they were before, when we are seeing that these protests are moving to even new countries, that almost all countries are now witnessing such protests, that the people want change,” he said. “As we are addressing these challenges, these problems raised by these protest movements, we will gradually find our way towards a new world order,” added Gorbachev.
Of course, Gorbachev’s call for global financial instability to be used as a pretext for the further centralization of power into a sovereignty-stripping system of global governance will merely concentrate more influence into the hands of a tiny elite.
Gorbachev attempt to invoke the protest movement sweeping the globe and re-label it as a call for global governance is fundamentally disingenuous. A new world order means less democratic representation. Global government is the ultimate expression of autocratic rule, it is inherently undemocratic. Gorbachev’s American perestroika will not equate to more freedom and prosperity, it will result in a lowering of living standards and even less political representation.
The literal translation of “perestroika” means “restructuring,” but Gorbachev’s past comments overwhelmingly illustrate the fact that the former Communist icon is calling for America to experience a Soviet-style collapse before it can be re-absorbed as a vassal state that is subordinate to a UN-run global government.
The former Soviet leader has long been an advocate of transforming the United Nations and its affiliated offshoots into an architecture of global government, eviscerating American sovereignty in the process.
In September 2000, Gorbachev called for the UN to set up Soviet-style “central authority” to control the world’s business and environmental concerns. For decades he has consistently called for a “new world order” to replace existing nation states as the ultimate source of power.
Gorbachev and his fellow globalists like Zbigniew Brzezinski are clearly trying to exploit and hijack the collective disenfranchisement being expressed across the world as a tool to accomplish the long-held pursuit of global governance, handing even more power to the insiders who were responsible for the financial collapse in the first place.

the bible speaks about the last days….
GOD will put it in the hearts of the leaders to give their country to a world government…
this is a prophecy and a sign of the last days…. befor armaggedon…
they will also RAPE the church of its riches… well countries are in debt… the church is very rich…
the corporations would target the church using government… a church funded BAILOUT…
when you start seeing this, you know you are near the prophecy of armaggedon, where GOD through Jesus will obliberate all evil.

They’re not doing it because they think it’s for everybody elses good…they’re doing it because they presume it will be for their good…now the lackeys in gov’t will be very dissapointed when they realize that the real powerbrokers will only keep them around as long as they’re usefull…last person you trust is a traitor, so when their done with em, they die…karma’s a bitch!!!
Gorbachev is a useful tool for the NWO crowd. I suspect he’s one of their favorites, in fact. Remember the phony coup? Perestroika was a deception – the Communist movement abandoned the old Comintern strategy of seeking immediate, worldwide revolution, in favor of Antonio Gramsci’s strategy of infiltration and cultural war, notably at universities, and influence among “opinion molders.” Now, many are openly Communist, and make no pretense. That was unthinkable, even twenty years ago.
At the other end, the “convergence theorists” collaborate with them, against US. You have a sort of continuum, with each walking toward the other in the middle, as Anthony Sutton pointed out several decades ago. This is integral to what the Left calls “U.S. Imperialism,” without understanding that they are mere pawns and useful idiots for it. The name of the game is conflict resolution, and it follows the thesis/antithesis/synthesis model. When THEY have no conflicts, THEY will unite against US. Very simple. That is why the NWO must be fought to the bitter end. If the other side wins, where do WE go? Particularly if they have all the guns. Mars? There will be no place to run. It will be a nightmare.
The year 1917 in St. Petersburg saw similar public disturbances, fomented by the same mind-set, with the same slogans. And then, as now, the affair was bankrolled by U.S. financiers and capitalists, including Jacob Schiff. Interestingly, his grandson is now married to one of Al Gore’s daughters. It’s a small world. Who knows? Maybe things will heat up, quite dramatically, in fact. R.U.
yes so you rich useless terrorist bastards can go on being rich useless terrorist bastards
SCREW YOU, SPLOTCH-HEAD!!!
What we NEED is all of the foreign-influence to be effectively booted out of our country and out of our lives, forever!!!
You “global solution” is NO solution at all!!! The global-system is just as filled with corrupt, unaccountable bureaucrats as the very businesses you rail against!!!
So again,
SCREW YOU, SPLOTCH-HEAD !!!!!!!!
Mr. Gorbachev — just because it can be done, should it be done?
We must ensure that people choose the path that preserves the most lives.
The current “NWO” system is too-much geared towards reducing numbers of people, rather than focusing on how to make our very rich earthly resources stretch an appropriate length.
I acknowledge the failures of capitalism, but certainly it is better to be able to knowingly, morally, and intelligently invest one’s own energy in the things which for the individual appear to support life and happiness…
Censorship and rationing, demoralization and privation — why should we revisit these things? They dehumanize, they too are tools of war.
If the One World Government is allowed to happen then the WAR will be carried out against the individual and not the group — something unprecedented and disgustingly similar to the Inquisition or a Witch Burning…
the NWO is wrong.
Utopia cannot be achieved through depopulation.
and it cannot be achieved by negating national sovereignty or personal freedoms and rights
“yes so you rich useless terrorist bastards can go on being rich useless terrorist bastards” – peaceonearth
So those of us who believe in written constitutions, a Bill of Rights, and niceties like habeas corpus are terrorists?
You are so confused and ignorant, that it makes me wince, just imagining what it must be like to be you.
You can’t even identify your enemies, any more than your actual friends. You are pathetic. R.U.
I know dncholas will be on here soon. so i just want to say in advance shut up bitch. running you mouth like always. If your so fucking smart why don’t you fix all this shit. you racists pig.

Gorby, Gorby, Gorby, sounds like one of the Queen’s dogs stinking up the neighborhood.
The real enemy is the New World Order crowd, they must think that the world needs to come together because some aliens from another galaxy are about to invade earth in another lifetime, idiots all of them.
lets see another un puppet or did he get a promotion when the un gave him the presidio navy base in SF months before he left power,well the chernozopa suka in charge is following un orders and following his stroika agenda of economic collapse and what did that bring moscow ?the russian mafia and mass russuan defectors and immigration to the US. any one see the pattern going on here of course the sponge bob crowd has no clue as they think that those who toted m16s at a time when it was politically in correct are full of shit,well these pukes did not live thru the state sponsored terrorism funded by all sides nato/red faction and mossad agents going on in europe.
i can say that as a vet from those times trained as a free thinking flexible soldier of that era and constantly on alert- the only diff between now and then is i am more aware and not getting drunk and messed up now and the constant assault with no down time,for those like me are you getting the feeling of constantly being on guard duty ?
What an idiot. The NWO isn’t going to solve the “problems of the environment, of backwardness and poverty, food shortages” because they are creating those problems!!!
Why? $$$ = make shortages, capitalize on the insider knowledge! This is especially easy if you are distant from the people like the NWO would be and have no Constitution and you are run by crooks. Hey wait a minute, I just described Bilderberg.
