Former President Bill Clinton was declared by Forbes Magazine to be the "most influential man in the world" and the 'president of the world'! Can his ascension to the post of United Nations Secretariat be far away? (from CuttingEdge Newsletter 11/19/05 <http://www.cuttingedge.org/newsletters/> ) NEWS BRIEF: "Bill Clinton Hailed to Become "Something
Like a President of the World" says Esquire Magazine",
By John-Henry Westen, LifeSite, November 18, 2005 Note the words, "is poised." We have often stated that Bill Clinton seems to be poised to take over the office of the United Nations General Secretary, a post now held by Kofi Annan. This fact brings us to our next subject: the decline of UN Secretary General Kofi Annan and the sudden rise of President Bill Clinton. We have noted in recent newsletters that a campaign seems to be underway to discredit Kofi Annan and his leadership skills. The slow and uneven UN response to the January Tsunami brought pressure to bear on Annan, as has his leadership on the disastrously fraudulent Iraq "Oil-For-Food" program. Listen to this article which recounts the many ways Annan is in trouble. NEWS BRIEF: "Secret Meeting, Clear Mission: 'Rescue' U.N.", by Warren Hoge, The New York Times, January 3, 2005 "UNITED NATIONS, Jan. 2 - The meeting of veteran foreign policy experts in a Manhattan apartment one recent Sunday was held in strict secrecy. The guest of honor arrived without his usual retinue of aides. The mission, in the words of one participant, was clear: 'to save Kofi and rescue the U.N.' At the gathering, Secretary General Kofi Annan listened quietly to three and a half hours of bluntly worded counsel from a group united in its personal regard for him and support for the United Nations. The group's concern was that lapses in his leadership during the past two years had eclipsed the accomplishments of his first four-year term in office and were threatening to undermine the two years remaining in his final term." Who was at this meeting? The list of key Globalists will surprise you: "The meeting was held in the apartment of Richard C. Holbrooke, a United States ambassador to the United Nations under President Clinton. Others in attendance were John G. Ruggie, assistant secretary general for strategic planning from 1997 to 2001 and now a professor of international relations at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard; Leslie H. Gelb, a former president of the Council on Foreign Relations; Timothy E. Wirth, the president of the United Nations Foundation, based in Washington; Kathy Bushkin, the foundation's executive vice president; Nader Mousavizadeh, a former special assistant to Mr. Annan who left in 2003 to work at Goldman Sachs; and Robert C. Orr, the assistant secretary general for strategic planning. Sir Jeremy Greenstock, Britain's ambassador to the United Nations from 1998 to 2003, was invited but could not attend." (Ibid.) All of these men are high-ranking insiders of the first degree. And evidently they have a lot of connections. A year or two ago when I read the very long list of Bilderberger attendees for that year, I remember seeing two Goldman-Sachs people. And one of the above people went from working for Kofi Annan to working at Goldman-Sachs. Interesting! /bg This article goes on to list the many failures of the United Nations under Annan's leadership. "The apartment gathering on Dec. 5 came at the end of a year that Mr. Annan has described as the organization's "annus horribilis." The United Nations faced charges of corruption in the oil-for-food program in Iraq, evidence that blue-helmeted peacekeepers in Congo had run prostitution rings and raped women and teenage girls, and formal motions of no confidence in the organization's senior management from staff unions. Just days before the gathering, Senator Norm Coleman, a Minnesota Republican who is chairman of a subcommittee investigating the oil-for-food program, had brought criticism of the United Nations to a boil by calling for Mr. Annan's resignation. The meeting also occurred at a moment when the United Nations faces major institutional challenges: the Jan. 30 balloting in Iraq that United Nations electoral experts helped set up; the preliminary report late this month of the oil-for-food inquiry led by Paul A. Volcker, the former Federal Reserve chairman. "Now, the Asian tsunami is testing the organization's capacity for coordinating aid on a global scale." (Ibid.) Is Bill Clinton "waiting in the wings"? Let us now go back to this Esquire Magazine build-up of Bill Clinton. "Clinton, whose fame has survived revelations of sexual impropriety, perjury and constant reports of other shady occurrences at the Clinton White House which would have killed any other political reputation, continues to wow audiences worldwide. Clinton who was, already in 2003, rumoured to be seeking to lead the United Nations ... has also launched his own global initiative to right the wrongs of the world. Esquire designates him as 'the most powerful agent of change in the world'." This phrase, "change agent" is a familiar New Age and Illuminist term -- often used by authors and leaders. Let us now go back to this article for one last bit of information. "At a Canadian engagement last month, event organizers called him, 'one of the greatest leaders in the history of presidents' and an 'inspiring' presence. Christian Darbyshire of TinePublic Inc., that organized the conference said 'He's probably more influential these days now . . .than he was as the president'." (Ibid.) It does sound like Bill Clinton is being built up to assume the mantle of the "Presidency of the World"! Yes, and it's getting to be a little nauseating, lol. I'm
not feeling too "wowed" about it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We seem to be hearing this kind of talk a lot lately about Willie Clinton. So what does it mean? Why all the illustrious labels for this guy? Has any other FORMER president been given such "world leader" headlines? No, I do NOT think Clinton will be antichrist, but he MAY end up being the COUNTERFEIT antichrist... Remember, Satan always provides a COUNTERFEIT, so keep that in mind as things progress along into the future. /bg Bill Clinton - President of the World? The magazine has designated him as "the most powerful agent of change in the world" despite his lack of electoral standing and the fact he was laid low by a heart attack ahead of last year's presidential election. The magazine highlights Clinton's accomplishments in its December issue, which goes on newsstands on Thursday, profiling the world's "Best and Brightest" men and women. Since leaving office, Clinton has been so active that his post-presidency amounts to "a third term" for the Democrat who held the White House from 1992 to 2000, the magazine said. He has tackled global issues from AIDS, poverty and global warming to the recovery from last December's Indian Ocean tsunami. Esquire editor David Granger argued that Clinton was poised to become "something like a president of the world or at least a president of the world's non-governmental organizations." But it will mean giving up a leadership role in the Democratic party or pushing the political career of his wife, Sen. Hillary Clinton, seen as a 2008 White House contender. ----------------------------- |
