The death of Mikhail Gorbachev can give us some understanding about World Conditions and where events are going. Mikhail was loved by many Americans as he promoted Glasnost (free thought). His core philosophy (a new democracy for Russia) was not realized due to lack of consensus but I find his thinking very meaningful. What did Mikhail do for our World System:
1. Mikhail brought down the Empire called the Soviet Union. He changed his people (some) to think openly about alternatives to the Communist Governmental System. His policy of 'perestroika' and 'glasnost' was meaningful for those who desired change.
2. His policies led to the collapse of his Empire (the prior Soviet Union) and it also led to the USA becoming the sole Super-Power for the planet. All this happened after his resignation from power in 1991. Mikhail was a great thinker and I read many of his articles during the Reagan/Gorbachev era.
3. Our World Situation today has not improved because the mindset of Reagan and Gorbachev was much to limited and it lacked a real spiritual understanding of our universe. Some say Mikhail was an atheist who gradually changed to a God believer after 1991. I think this might be valid even as Mikhail never made his beliefs CLEAR to the public. He was probably an atheist until after 2008...when he expressed belief in God.
4. Mikhail wanted to end NATO and expand the European arena to include all of Europe (including Russia). Unfortunately, the West did not agree with Mikhail and this led to NATO expansion (contrary to the wishes of Gorbachev) with new pressures on Russia to conform to the Agenda of NATO and the WEST. This mindset is now called a philosophy where the West becomes dominate and the EAST becomes accommodating to this new UNI-POLAR world of the WEST. In 2015 this led to the Agenda 2030 program with the United Nations. Agenda 2030 became official world policy on January 1, 2016.
5. Mikhail Gorbachev wanted a new democracy for his people, Russia, and all this crumbled when he resigned from office in 1991. Today, we have Vladimir Putin in charge of Russia and this leader has a new mindset different from that of Mikhail Gorbachev. Putin wants a Multi-Polar world system with Russia, China, India, and others operating as independent entities along with those of the WEST (America, Western Europe, etc.). His foreign policy philosopher is Alexander Dugin (whose daughter was recently assassinated)...some say by the Ukrainians, and Dugin's mindset hates the philosophy of the WEST. Alexander and Vladimir now want a NEW RUSSIA. It's called Eurasianism (a multi-polar world concept).
6. Ronald Reagan had a philosophy that Government was THE PROBLEM. I agreed with this mindset of Ronald Reagan. I think Mikhail and Ronald were on the same page with regard to the danger of dictatorial governments. Both wanted democracy for the world but they did not fully understand the consequences of democracy. In reality, democracy does not bring us Glasnost (free thought). Democracy brings us MOB RULE. Today, we have MOBS ruling the planet and America is an example of all this polarization.
7. What Mikhail Gorbachev and Ronald Reagan missed in the 1980's and 1990's was the idea of the KINGDOM of our CREATOR God. Both were believers (to a degree) in a Creator God but they did not fully internalize the core spiritual concepts. They recognized that RELIGION was a problem for the planet but they did not expand their thinking to the concept of the KINGDOM of GOD. The Kingdom of God excludes RELIGION. God, our CREATOR, becomes the RULER over our universe/planet.
8. The missing link in the thinking of Reagan and Gorbachev was the KINGDOM principles. Yes, we have a CREATOR that produced this planet, our universe, and all the people. This Creator is our POTTER and SOVEREIGN. We are the CLAY. To bring the world freedom and justice we need to focus on the PRINCIPLES of our CREATOR. What are these core principles:
1. Principle #1 is that we need to DEED the planet back to its rightful Ruler/King. If this is done then all the people will recognize that our CREATOR is the real KING over this universe/planet Earth. Man will become an AGENT or SERVANT and then PEOPLE can become the focus of a NEW PHILOSOPHY.
2. Principle #2 is that PEOPLE must be central to a new philosophy for the planet. Today, MONEY is central. Our 'invented' money dominates and controls the decision-making of all governments. This item of the MIND (money) overrules the common sense of PEOPLE. People are made subservient to the INTERESTS of money, power, and the rulership of man. Freedom can not emerge given the NATURE of our current SYSTEM.
3. Principle #3 is that FREEDOM (for every individual) must be FIRST. By DEEDING the planet back to our CREATOR and making our CREATOR the KING over planet Earth, the PEOPLE become the new focus. As we eliminate MONEY from the system, we expand the idea that PEOPLE are central to our System. PEOPLE must replace money. The interests of each individual must be PRIMARY (not money).
4. As we DEED the planet back to our CREATOR, all resources become common for the world society. Our CREATOR actually owns all the resources now (gold, silver, oil, gas, coal, wheat, water, bread, milk, etc.). The goal under KINGDOM economics is to distribute all the resources fairly so that EVERYONE has prosperity and security. All this can happen under KINGDOM economics. The core concept will be DECENTRALIZATION. Thousands of decentralized villages, cities, will emerge. Each will administer their own territory (under a free system of decision-making). God will be KING!
5. The new technologies of automated production, robots, drones, and smart phones will be utilized to help with administration of all commerce. Buying and exchange will be via the Smart Phone Apps. All will be free of a MONEY system as the APP will serve as the TOOL to distribute all wealth (goods/services). Yes, the Smart Phone APP can work as the new money for the KINGDOM AGE. There will be no Central Banks to counterfeit, manipulate, and corrupt the economic system.
6. The Kingdom Age is what I sense as emerging (after our current system collapses from exhaustion). This collapse is now in process and it will continue until the PEOPLE recognize that we need a NEW MODEL for the planet. Education is KEY to understanding any NEW MODEL. What we lack today is WISDOM, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWLEDGE, and COMMON SENSE.
7. The KINGDOM AGE is emerging but we must experience the COLLAPSE of our current corrupt system FIRST. This is now in progress. Watch the markets as the collapse of our digital stock market is coming. This will SET the table for NEW THINKING. We need NEW thinking and this can not occur UNTIL the current system is destroyed. God will bring this to our reality. It's already STARTED IMO.
Have a great day and prepare for the KINGDOM AGE. I am: Donald B. Swenson, Economist/Philosopher, donaldswenson.blogspot.com and http://kingdomecon.wordpress.com.
