Gorbachev comes out

The history-making global outpouring of love and respect for Pope John Paul II had the legions of the left singing the blues last week.

It's not just that world attention was focused on St. Peter's Square, it was that millions flocked to the precedent-setting farewell to the Pope of the People. april 8, 2005 was televised proof that the global secular mission is not only failing–but also failing abysmally.

"You can come out now," could be the post pope funeral message to the anti-Christian, dying-with-dignity depopulation movement.

Four days after Pope John Paul II's funeral, former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev "came out".

Gorbachev attended a gala dinner at the Liberty Grand in Toronto Monday night. He was there to present the Canadian Red Cross's Power of Humanity award. The award, the creation of Red Cross Ontario, was bestowed upon Dr. Joseph Wong, a prominent advocate for refugee relief, medical research, social services and geriatric care in Canada.

Gorbachev, now a resident of the United States of america, used the occasion to boast to reporters.

"Perestroika," he crowed, "is an unprecedented project", reminding us of his economic plan to reform the failing Communist economy. "No similar one has ever been or ever will be undertaken. But it was broken off at the moment when we were moving (toward success)."

In layman's language, the patient died, but the operation was a success.

"Since leaving office, Nobel Prize-winning Gorbachev is the highest-profile former leader on the world stage," gushed Toronto Star reporter Olivia Ward. "He created the Gorbachev Foundation for social and political research, and the Geneva-based environmental organization Green Cross International. The foundation has a partnership with the University of Calgary for projects aiding Russia's economic transition."

according to Ward, (Gorbachev) is "renowned in the West as one of the world's great reformers", but is a "prophet without honour in his own country", where "many poor Russians speak bitterly of him."

What Ward did not get into is the hypocrisy of how Gorbachev was able to jump ship and set up shop on american soil.

Fundraisers, like the 1990 one at New York's Waldorf astoria Hotel where a $3.5 million bailout fund was collected for the Gorbachev Foundation, long before Gorbachev cut and run from Russia, set him up at San Francisco's Presidio.

Back in those days, the Gorbachev Foundation was called the Tamalpais Institute of San Francisco.

In relentless american chapters, the former Soviet leader and extoller of KGB virtues, spends his time attacking the american government, a courtesy extended to him strictly by virtue of democracy, the same democracy he spent his political career denigrating.
That fact alone makes the 74-year-old Gorbachev, who is courted by film stars and leftwing politicians, a complete and utter phony.

With breathtaking arrogance, Gorbachev embarked on a course with Canadian New ager Maurice Strong, to rewrite the 10 Commandments of Moses with a United Nations-endorsed Earth Charter.

all gussied up with unicorn horns, gilt and goatskin, like the secret treasure in some Grade-B movie, the Gorbachev/Strong "ark of Hope" is currently being paraded around New York streets by UN employees for show-and-tell exercises in public school classrooms.

The Red Cross of Ontario notwithstanding, Gorby's reappearance on the world stage to brag about precedent-setting perestroika within days of the pope's funeral can be filed under `p' for propaganda.
