The New World Order
Mood
swings can follow media swings, but behind the big headlines of today is
an agenda for tomorrow.
Tony Pearce
considers possible outcomes of today’s news
The next
few weeks will be crucial in the development of world events. As the USA
assembles its coalition against terrorism there are two possibilities:
failure or success.
If it is a failure it will
result in the further destabilisation of the world as terrorism and
terrorist supporting regimes gain power and influence and threaten the
world economy. If Islamic terrorists take Pakistan and Saudi Arabia (a
possibility if things go wrong) it will be catastrophe for the entire
world system. Through Pakistan they will get control of the nuclear bomb
and through Saudi Arabia they will get control of the main oil producing
country and its enormous wealth. The fall of western capitalism and the
collapse of the world into chaos and conflict involving the use of
nuclear weapons starting in Israel would be a realistic possibility.
If it is a success the
result will be a huge step towards the New World Order. What will have
to happen for it to be a success?
·
The overthrow of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan.
·
The victory of the moderate faction of President Katami over the
fundamentalists in
Iran.
·
The overthrow of Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq.
·
The fall of the North Korean communist regime.
Global effect
These four things would
dramatically alter the present world. Afghanistan would no longer
threaten the stability of central Asia, which would help the Russians to
crush Islamic militancy in the southern republics of the former Soviet
Union. Iran would no longer supply the Hizbullah terrorists in southern
Lebanon thus reducing the threat from the north against Israel. Iraq
would no longer threaten the neighbouring countries (Saudi Arabia,
Kuwait, Jordan, Israel) with invasion and the world with weapons of
mass destruction. The Palestinians would be compelled to come to terms
with Israel, on terms which Israel can accept, knowing that there would
be no one to fight for them if it came to a conflict. Israel would be
willing to make some concessions (dismantling some settlements,
accepting a Palestinian state with some sovereignty in
Jerusalem) in
return for a comprehensive peace settlement enforced by the New World
Order.
The fall of North Korea
would rid the world of a regime supplying weapons of mass destruction to
unstable regions (especially the Middle East). Since North Korea is a
basket case where there is a total collapse of production and the
population is destitute this would bring about an economic challenge to
the Far East, where China is growing in power.
All of these developments
would bring together the USA, the EU, Russia and China in a concerted
effort to rebuild the shattered regions of central Asia, Iraq and North
Korea.
In general terms the Muslim
world would come to the conclusion that the fundamentalist / terrorist
approach to relations with other countries and government of their own
countries is a dead end and has brought them nothing but grief. The
present conflict within Islam between fundamentalist / terrorist groups
confronting Israel and the West and calling for armed jihad and moderate
groups calling for tolerance and ‘spiritual’ jihad would be resolved
with victory to the moderates. The powers behind the New World Order
would ensure that the message goes out to the Muslim world that their
future stability can only be guaranteed by supporting tolerance and
moderation. The large oil finds in Central Asia would bring a new
prosperity to that region which would make Islamic fundamentalism a less
compelling force.
Microchip
Fundamentalist
I
terrorist cells would
continue to exist, but rejected by the mainstream and isolated
politically and socially they would have no more power than neo-fascist
and communist groups in the West and former Soviet Union today.
Nevertheless most people would support the New World Order in bringing
in more restrictive laws to prevent terrorism. Some curbing of civil
liberties would be considered a necessary thing in order to make peace
and safety. A compulsory identity card with a microchip containing
information about the person could be made universal. This could lead to
a proposal to insert such information under the skin by a microchip, so
it could not be lost.
A framework for resolving
the Arab Israeli conflict would be found which would be acceptable to
the Muslim world now moving towards moderation not confrontation as its
goal. Israel would feel
free to offer concessions to the Palestinians with the threat of attack
from Iraq and Hizbullah removed and the Islamic terrorist movements
amongst the Palestinians marginalized.
There would be an economic
upturn as people feel a new confidence to invest and spend and new
structures are set in place to ensure that disruptive forces are no
longer able to wreck the world order. The pressure to accept
globalisation and loss of national sovereignty in order to achieve this
would become unstoppable. Political parties which oppose it would be
marginalized and those which support it would have the backing of the
media, the educational system and global financial institutions and have
no problem being re-elected in democratic systems which would in effect
also become one party states.
Intolerant tolerance
The
world having seen the destructive influence of religious fundamentalism
would clamour for all religions to sink their differences and come
together in a global religion seeking peace and tolerance. Muslims too
would be willing to join this having themselves now rejected the
radicals. This could lead to a brief window of opportunity to evangelise
the Muslim world by Christians. But within this new tolerance there
would be intolerance for those who proclaim that there is only one way
to God through repentance and faith in Jesus the Messiah. Christians who
warn against the New World Order bringing in the Antichrist would be
considered dangerous fanatics who are a threat to the peace.
People would begin to say
‘We have got peace and safety at last.’ In their appreciation of the New
World Order they would give their allegiance to its emerging global
leader who would be considered a Messiah for our time.
For the rest of the story
read the Book of Revelation.
