The first global State of the World Forum was held in San Francisco from September 27 to October 1, 1995. Michail Gorbachev, the former head of Communist Russia, had "gathered nearly 500 political leaders, spiritual leaders, scientists, intellectuals, business executives, artists and youth from 50 nations to begin a process of deliberation on the central question of what priorities, values and actions should guide humanity as it moves into the next phase of development."3
These privileged elites stayed at the elegant Fairmont Hotel on Nob Hill, but they showed little appreciation for America. Instead, the selected speakers and their enthusiastic audience seemed to see reality from a decidedly globalist perspective. The cultural paradigm expressed in the roundtable discussions, in the plenary speeches, and among the selected youths from several nations left little doubt that this elite gathering -- primarily from Europe and the USA -- shared a common vision for our changing world.
The following statements give us a glimpse of some of their goals and values, many of whom see themselves a step higher than the kings and presidents who rule mere nations:
Keynote speaker Zbigniew Brzezinski, co-founder and head of the Trilateral Commission (1995): “We cannot leap into world government in one quick step.... The precondition for... genuine globalization is progressive regionalization, because thereby we move toward larger, more stable, more cooperative units.”4 From 1977 to 1981, Dr. Brzezinski was national security adviser to President Jimmy Carter. In 2008 he became Obama's foreign policy adviser. (See The Globalization Strategy: America and Europe in the Crucible)
Sam Keen, closing plenary session at the 1995 Global Conference: "We must speak far more clearly about sexuality, about contraception, about abortion, about the values that control the population, because the ecological crisis, in short, is the population crisis. Cut the population by 90 percent and there aren't enough people left to do a great deal of ecological damage."2
Mikhail Gorbachev, discussing a new form of democracy: "...in our discussions here at the forum there was no trace of the futile debate about what is better, capitalism or socialism.... We should seek a synthesis of ideas and values that have proven their viability..."3
The five days introduced worldwide changes. Over time, borders would fall; human settlements would spread, Christianity would fade, and freedom would end!
Gorbachev and his hand-picked "council of the wise" or "global brain trust" told the assembly of more than 1000 guests and participants that a new set of inclusive universal values must replace the Judeo-Christian world view. The unbiblical "wisdom distilled by all faiths" would determine the values needed to guide the world into the 21st Century.5 [See The Secret Cabal]
Among the speakers and participants were Gorbachev's co-chair Ted Turner, astronomer Carl Sagan, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates, Carnegie Chairman David Hamburg, and Maurice Strong, the Canadian New Age chief of the UN's 1992 environmental conference in Rio de Janeiro. It also included New Age educator Willis Harman, Esalen co-founder Michael Murphy, and the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation Founder Sonia Gandhi.
My immediate task was to interview these elites. Some were gracious and informative. Others were clearly disturbed by my unwanted questions and preferred not to answer. But by God's grace, I was able to complete my task as a registered reporter for two Christian ministries. In the process, I learned to see our world from an entirely new perspective. Globalization is indeed transforming our planet.
The absence of Christians prompted a member of the press to ask Gorbachev why Western religious leaders were not represented at the conference. Showing his ignorance of Biblical Christianity, the Communist leader answered that "Western religion is represented by many of the leaders of the Forum." I wondered whom he had in mind.
Attempting to answer the question, Brzezinski, former National Security Advisor to President Carter, a member of the CFR (Council of Foreign Relations) and former head of the Trilateral Commission, spoke up. "I happen to know that President Gorbachev is a very good friend of the Pope -- and I am too." (See Elite Conspiracies & Zbigniew Brzezinski)
