Ronald Reagan’s presidency was the most important in a half-century, perhaps in a century. What I would like to discuss with you today are the 10 most important legacies Ronald Reagan leaves America and America’s next president.
This article is from the Hoover.org website.
The 1970s were a dreadful decade for my country. The 1980s have been much better, thanks in large measure to Ronald Reagan’s leadership and the 10 most constructive and important legacies he leaves behind.
Formula for Economic Growth
There is a new dynamism in America. And Ronald Reagan once again proved that capitalism works-that free market economics succeeds. This is a wonderful legacy for America-and the world.
New Federalism
Reagan has invoked words, thoughts, and images that have touched American hearts and have recalled a special pride we long had in our country.
Privatization
The Reagan Doctrine is a true revolutionary policy. It proclaims that the future belongs to democracy, not to Soviet-imposed dictatorships.
Checking Judicial Activism
I realize that the appointment of American judges is an issue to which foreigners pay little attention. Yet it is very important because court decisions have a great impact on government policies.
Rebuilding America’s Military Might
Throughout the 1970s, under Republican and Democratic presidents, the U.S. became militarily weaker.
Grappling with the Bear
For too long America gave Moscow the advantage in negotiations. Those who were making U.S. policy seemed to feel that any treaty with the Soviets is better than no treaty. As such, Americans were always willing to make concessions to Moscow; we were afraid of sticking to our position if this would mean that the negotiations would break down. The result of this was the series of Soviet gains at the bargaining table: SALT I, the ABM Treaty, cultural exchanges, SALT II.
The Reagan Doctrine
The Reagan Doctrine is a policy of true liberation. It recognizes that national liberation movements in the Third World can be on the side of freedom and democracy and that the U.S. can help these national liberation movements win. It breaks with the 1970s when the U.S. had become isolationist and was unwilling to remain involved in the world.
Demise of the Brezhnev Doctrine
For two decades, we in the U.S., in the West, and in Asia were told by Moscow that the global correlation of forces had shifted in the Soviet favor and that this shift was permanent. We often believed this. This, in effect, is what the Brezhnev Doctrine was proclaiming: that once a country joins the Soviet camp, it must remain forever in the Soviet camp. The most dramatic example of this, of course, was the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia 20 years ago.
Defense Technology with a Human Face
The Strategic Defense Initiative may turn out to be the most important Reagan policy because it could change the world. It could end the nightmare of nuclear holocaust.
Restoring Confidence in the Presidency
Reagan’s final legacy is that he reignited Americans’ optimism and restored Americans’ faith in the presidency. We had become very pessimistic in the 1970s. We saw one president after another fail-Johnson, Nixon, Ford, and Carter. We started believing that America’s best days were behind it.
There is a new dynamism in America. Ronald Reagan once again has proved that capitalism works-that free market economics succeeds.
Touching American Hearts
And then, of course, there are Ronald Reagan’s words. I am not sure how they will sound to you, with your very different culture and history. But Reagan has invoked words, thoughts, and images that have touched American hearts and have recalled a special pride we long had in our country.
Frequently, Reagan talked about America as a promised land. He called America a “Zion in the wilderness,” and “a city on the hill.” He said often, in speaking to Congress or on television addressing the nation, that America is “the last best hope of man on earth.” SDI is a policy that could end Moscow’s ability to intimidate and blackmail the U.S. and the rest of the world.
This then is the legacy that Ronald Reagan leaves his people. It is an impressive legacy. It is a marvelous legacy. And it will influence the direction and policies of America for years to come.

Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas in Gaza, is believed to have masterminded the kidnapping of 250 people from Israel on October 7, 2023. Among the hostages are citizens from 23 different countries, who are being held captive in Gaza by Hamas. This brazen act of aggression has sparked international outrage and calls for the immediate release of the hostages.
The hostages, who come from a variety of backgrounds and nationalities, are being held in deplorable conditions in Gaza. They are being used as bargaining chips by Hamas in their ongoing conflict with Israel. The families of the hostages are desperate for any information about their loved ones and are pleading for their safe return.
The international community has condemned Hamas for their actions and has called for the immediate release of the hostages. The United Nations has demanded that Hamas abide by international law and release the hostages unharmed. The situation is delicate and requires a diplomatic solution to ensure the safe return of the hostages.
Efforts are being made by various governments and organizations to negotiate with Hamas for the release of the hostages. The families of the hostages are anxiously awaiting any news of progress in the negotiations. The situation is fluid and constantly evolving, but the safety and well-being of the hostages remain the top priority for all involved parties.
As the world watches and waits for a resolution to this crisis, the hostages remain in a state of uncertainty and fear. It is imperative that all parties involved work towards a peaceful resolution that ensures the safe return of the hostages. The international community must continue to apply pressure on Hamas to release the hostages and abide by international law. Only through cooperation and diplomacy can a resolution be reached that brings an end to this tragic situation.
The Speech Of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Transcribed.
“One year ago, Yahya Sinwar, the terrorist chief of Hamas, launched the October 7th massacre against Israel.
It was the bloodiest attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust.
It was the worst attack on the Jewish State since the founding of (Modern 1948) Israel.
Sinwar’s terrorist murdered in cold blood 1,200 people.
They brutally raped women. They beheaded men. They burned babies alive.
And they took 251 women, men and children hostage to the dungeons of Gaza.
Today (18 October 2024) the mastermind of this sheer evil is no more.
Yahya Sinwar is dead.
He was killed in Rafah by the brave soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces.
While this is not the end of the war in Gaza, it’s the beginning of the end.
To the people of Gaza, I have a simple message: This war can end tomorrow. It can end if Hamas lays down its arms and returns our hostages.
Hamas is holding 101 hostages in Gaza, who are citizens of 23 countries.
Citizens of Israel, but citizens of many other countries.
Israel is committed to doing everything in our power to bring all of them home.
And Israel will guarantee the safety of all those who return our hostages.
But to those who would harm our hostages, I have another message: Israel will hunt you down and bring you to justice.
I also have a message of hope to the people of the region: The axis of terror that was built by Iran is collapsing before our eyes.
Nasrallah is gone. His deputy Mohsen is gone.
Haniyeh is gone. Deif is gone. Sinwar is gone.
The reign of terror that the Iranian regime has imposed on its own people and on the people of Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen – this too will come to an end.
All those that seek a future of prosperity and peace in the Middle East should unite to build a better future.
Together, we can push back the forces of darkness, and create a future of light and hope for all of us”.
Yahya Sinwar Life As A Hamas Terror Organization Leader In Gaza Is Over Forever
The recent news of Hamas holding 101 hostages in Gaza, who are citizens of 23 countries, is deeply concerning. This is not the first time that Hamas has engaged in such reprehensible actions.
In fact, Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas in Gaza, masterminded the kidnapping of some 250 people from Israel on October 7, 2023. These acts of terrorism not only violate international law, but also put innocent lives at risk.
The hostage situation in Gaza is a clear violation of human rights and must be addressed immediately by the international community. The hostages, who come from 23 different countries, are being held against their will by Hamas.
This is a flagrant disregard for the sovereignty of these nations and the safety of their citizens. It is imperative that swift action is taken to secure the release of these hostages and hold those responsible for their captivity accountable.
Hamas’s actions in Gaza are not only a threat to the hostages themselves, but also to regional stability and security. The group’s continued use of violence and terrorism undermines efforts towards peace and only serves to perpetuate conflict in the region. The international community must stand united in condemning these actions and working towards a peaceful resolution to the crisis in Gaza.
The hostages in Gaza are innocent civilians who have been caught in the crossfire of political and ideological conflicts. It is imperative that their safety and well-being are prioritized above all else. The international community must work together to ensure the safe return of these hostages to their respective countries and hold those responsible for their captivity accountable for their actions.
Islam Obsessed Ideological Fanatics Violating The Spirit Of The Natural Law
In conclusion, the hostage situation in Gaza is a grave violation of human rights and international law. The actions of Hamas in holding these hostages must be condemned in the strongest terms possible. It is crucial that the international community comes together to address this crisis and work towards a peaceful resolution that ensures the safe return of the hostages to their families and loved ones.

“The Évian Conference was convened 6–15 July 1938 at Évian-les-Bains, France, to address the problem of German and Austrian Jewish refugees wishing to flee persecution by Nazi Germany.
It was the initiative of United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt who perhaps hoped to obtain commitments from some of the invited nations to accept more refugees, although he took pains to avoid stating that objective expressly.
Historians have suggested that Roosevelt desired to deflect attention and criticism from American policy that severely limited the quota of refugees admitted to the United States.
International Representation by 32 Countries
The conference was attended by representatives from 32 countries, and 24 voluntary organizations also attended as observers, presenting plans either orally or in writing.
Golda Meir, the attendee from British Mandatory Palestine, was not permitted to speak or to participate in the proceedings except as an observer. Some 200 international journalists gathered at Évian to observe and report on the meeting.
The Soviet Union refused to take part in the conference, though direct talks on resettlement of Jews and Slavs between German and Soviet governments proceeded at the time of the conference and after it.
In the end, the Soviet Union refused to accept refugees and a year later ordered its border guards to treat all refugees attempting to cross into Soviet territory as spies.
Parallels to the United Nations Security Meetings Spirit in 2024
The conference was ultimately doomed, as aside from the Dominican Republic and later Costa Rica, delegations from the 32 participating nations failed to come to any agreement about accepting the Jewish refugees fleeing the Third Reich.
The conference thus inadvertently proved to be a useful tool for the Nazi propaganda. Adolf Hitler responded to the news of the conference by saying that if other nations agreed to take the Jews, he would help them leave”.
Consequences of the Évian Conference 1938 Spirit of Apathy
“The result of the failure of the conference was that many of the Jews had no escape and so were ultimately subject to what was known as Hitler’s “Final Solution to the Jewish Question”.
Two months after Évian, in September 1938, Britain and France granted Hitler the right to occupy the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia. In November 1938, on Kristallnacht, a massive pogrom across the Third Reich was accompanied by the destruction of over 1,000 synagogues, massacres and the mass arrests of tens of thousands of Jews.
In March 1939, Hitler occupied more of Czechoslovakia, causing a further 180,000 Jews to fall under Axis control, while in May 1939 the British issued the White Paper which barred Jews from entering Palestine or buying land there.
Following their occupation of Poland in late 1939 and invasion of Soviet Union in 1941, the Nazis embarked on a program of systematically killing all Jews in Europe”.
The supreme allied commander, Europe, and commander of U.S. European Command, Army Gen. Christopher Cavoli, speaking at the NATO summit’s public forum at the Washington Convention Center July 10, 2024.
While the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s main mission is to deter any adversary from attacking, if called on, the 32 nations are ready to defend every inch of alliance territory, said Army Gen. Christopher Cavoli, supreme allied commander, Europe, and commander of U.S. European Command.
Speaking at the NATO summit’s public forum at the Washington Convention Center this morning, the general highlighted how the alliance’s military side has put in place the strategic concept for deterrence and defense of the Euro-Atlantic area. These plans grew out of NATO’s summit last year, he said.
“In the last couple of years, what we’ve done is turn those into concrete plans — traditional, classical, operational plans — that describe how we’re going to defend specific areas of the alliance and what we’re going to use to do it and what the sequence of events is,” the general said. “This is a big, big shift.”
The alliance didn’t need these types of plans following the implosion of the Soviet Union in 1991. “After the end of the Cold War, the alliance refocused on out-of-area operations and crisis management,” he said.
“These tended to be smaller scale operations, done on a predictable basis that allowed for a cyclical, force-generation model.”
The Russian Leadership at Kremlin, Incorrigibly Obstinate Obsession With a Delusional Soviet Russo Worldview Needs A Benchmark of God Given Sanity
Russian Leadership Destruction of Ukraine. 2014-2024.
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of neighboring Ukraine in 2022 changed the calculus, and alliance leaders saw the need for a new NATO defense plan. The new plans guide leaders in resourcing defense capabilities, Cavoli said.
This has meant a sea change for the alliance. Cavoli said instead of resourcing a brigade or two on a cyclical basis, the alliance now has 300,000 service members at higher levels of readiness. “That’s because we’ve been able to amalgamate and incorporate national defense plans into the NATO defense plans, so they complement each other,” he said.
“It has produced an ability to be forward postured.”
Cavoli said when Russia stormed into Ukraine there were four NATO battle groups in Eastern Europe. There are now eight, and they’re just the leading edge of NATO’s defense. If needed, more troops, more air, and many other military capabilities would fall in on those forces.
“It’s a very effective method, [and] we have the right number of troops for right now.”
Cavoli said the alliance has been exercising the reinforcing scenarios, and NATO has also done extensive readiness checks. “As we go forward, we’ve continued to do these large-scale exercises where we practice the subsequent reinforcement of specific areas.”
Earlier this year, NATO’s Exercise Steadfast Defender encompassed more than 90,000 service members, and the alliance’s military officials are working to shore up some weaknesses highlighted by the exercise.
“For the most part, in capital platforms, in large ground units, we’re pretty much where we need to be,” Cavoli said. “We have some gaps in specific places, especially in enablement and logistics, and those we’re working on through the NATO defense planning process right now.”
The Philosophy and the Worldview of the Russian Leadership at Kremlin is a carry on from the Soviet Satanic Union. The Soviet Satanic Union Worldview in turn was a carry on from the Bolsheviks, Vladimir Lenin and Josef Stalin Worldview. Which in turn points directly to the Karl Marx & Engel Communist Manifesto, and their diabolically twisted atheism and anarchy against the God given Rule of Law.

Israel has many vital moral qualities, Biblical attributes, and an understanding of jurisprudence in a democratic society that is superior to that of the enemies of Israel. Accusations have been hurled at Israel and the Jews since the October 7 massacre on Israeli soil by the terrorist organization Hamas.
An important critical point to ask is, are the accusations part of a deceptive and false agenda? Are the accusations fabricated lies that come out of the spirit of antisemitism in the Arab world?
One important quality of the Nation of Israel is the blamelessness of the land they have returned to. The historical narrative in the Bible about Abraham goes back about 4000 years. The El Shaddai made a covenant with Abraham; El Shaddai promised the land of Canaan to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Therefore, Israel is blameless regarding the promised land. The 2000-year history from Abraham to the Jewish Rabbi, teacher, preacher, prophet, priest, and Messiah changed nothing regarding the covenant that El Shaddai had made with Israel—Abrahamic, Mosaic, and Davidic. It was not even a question among the disciples of Yeshua from Nazareth nearly 2000 years ago.
Jesus and the apostles walked the streets of Nazareth and Jerusalem. There was no Mohammed or Islam for another 500 years when Yeshua from Nazareth walked the Streets and entered the Temple grounds, making prayers and offerings to YHWH in Jerusalem.
The modern world does not seem to have a handle on evidence-based history. Especially in the world of Media, they have given themselves to populist mob hysteria and antisemitism that was demonstrating and shouting, “From the River to the Sea.” The mobs were clueless about the historical facts: Israel had returned to the land that El Shaddai promised to Israel. Therefore, Israel is blameless regarding the land where they live. It is the promised land.
What about Iran’s leadership antisemitism and funding and arming terrorism? What about the terrorist group Hamas that massacred over 1200 people in Israel, children, women, and aged people? Hijacked some 240 people?
What about the war crimes and crimes against humanity that Russia has committed in Syria and Ukraine since 2014? Are they more innocent and blameless than the IDF and the leadership of Israel?
No, they are all guilty.
The spirit of antisemitism globally is by people who do not have a personal constitution that sits at ease with the God-given instructions in the Bible. E.g., book of Exodus chapter 20. The Jews were a chosen people, reaffirmed some 3470 years ago. This was reaffirmed again almost 2000 years ago by the Rabbi, teacher, preacher, prophet, and Messiah, Yeshua from Nazareth.
The people of Israel are living exactly where EL Shaddai allotted to them to live in the Land of Israel and 100% of Jerusalem.
The Koran does not mention Jerusalem not even once. Therefore, the Antisemitic narrative about the “Occupation” is a fabricated lie by people who have a spirit of animosity towards El Shaddai and the Jewish Holy Scriptures that cover Jewish history over almost 4000 years.
Anybody who has read and understands the Jewish Holy Scriptures will not tolerate the lies and the false accusations that the Islamic world is hurling at the nation and the people of Israel.

This is part TWO of our short series about the Islam and its fallacies. Muslims will often accuse Israelis of having corrupted the Scriptures, however, this has been proven wrong by all evidences and true historicity.
According to Islam, the Bible has been corrupted and Ishmael is the actual father of Islam. However, by doing some research, we firmly come to the conclusion that Ishmael is only the father of certain Arab nations, not all of them.
Additionally, according to their claims, Isaac is not supposed to be the son of promise, but Ishmael should get this privilege. This belief is by all means irrational, because the last Book of the Bible was written 500 years before the birth of Mohammed.

Russia War Crimes since 1991, are at lower level than the glory days of Russian national hero Josef Stalin. From 1922 – to 1953 Stalin push for a global Communism and Marxist worldview terrorized East Europe and the indigenous people of the Kola Peninsula to Siberia, to further East to the Sea of japan.
Since 1991, there have been numerous allegations of war crimes committed by the official armed and paramilitary forces of the Russian Federation. These crimes include violations of international criminal law, such as war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. Russia is also accused of aiding and abetting crimes committed by puppet states or quasi-states it supports, such as the Luhansk People’s Republic and the Donetsk People’s Republic. The war crimes committed by Russia include murder, torture, terrorism, deportation, abduction, rape, looting, unlawful confinement, unlawful airstrikes, and wanton destruction.
The pattern of the Russian war crimes 1991 to 2023 are consistent with the deeds the speeches and the boasting of the Russian President Putin in Kremlin. He has repeatedly spoken for the Soviet Union glory days during Josef Stalin. And he has the support of like minded Russian people that glorify Soviet Russo nationalism. Meaning, that they glorify the deeds of Josef Stalin and the Soviet Satanic Union.
Russian people have benefited from the Soviet Satanic Union war crimes for over 80 years
Various human rights organizations, including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and Médecins Sans Frontières, have documented Russian war crimes in Chechnya, Georgia, Ukraine, and Syria. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has reported that Russia used cluster and incendiary weapons in Syria, constituting war crimes. The OHCHR has also found Russia guilty of war crimes in Ukraine in 2022 and 2023. The OSCE has published a report finding Russia guilty of war crimes in the Mariupol hospital airstrike, and there is a possibility that Russia’s targeted killings and enforced disappearances could be crimes against humanity.
The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has issued numerous verdicts finding the Russian government guilty of enforced disappearances, murder, torture, and failure to investigate these crimes in Chechnya properly. In 2021, the ECHR also found Russia guilty of murder, torture, looting, and destruction of homes in Georgia, as well as preventing the return of displaced Georgians to their territory.
As a result of Russia’s involvement in the war in Ukraine, Western countries have imposed wide-scale international sanctions against Russian officials. In 2016, Russia withdrew its membership from the International Criminal Court (ICC) when the Court began investigating Russia’s annexation of Crimea. Russia officially suspended from the UN Human Rights Council membership due to war crimes in Ukraine. Local courts have found many Russians guilty of war crimes in Chechnya and Ukraine. In 2023, the ICC indicted Vladimir Putin, the longtime Russian leader, for war crimes in Ukraine.
Prigozhin Saw the Light in Bakhmut-Ukraine: Kremlin’s Obsession with a Delusion Worldview
Prigozhin openly questioned the motive behind the Russian Kremlin’s “special operation.” That alone is a good point worthy of being taken notice of. At least five valid points align with what Ukraine has been saying for over 12 months, and that should be recognized and credited to Prigozhin.
Prigozhin Exposing The Ugly Truth of Kremlin War: Uncovering Russian Leadership War Crimes in Ukraine
Russian “Special Operation” in Ukraine has no legitimacy.
The people behind the planning of the Special Operation were driven by super-ego and self-interest.
The human cost of the Russian Special Operation in Ukraine is catastrophic for Ukraine and Russia.
Russian people and the Russian military generals are detached from the human catastrophic tragedy at the front lines of the war.
Prigozhin said there were no Nazis in Ukraine’s military ranks. Putin has served BS lied to the Russian people, to cover Kremlin’s whimsical ego trips.
Prigozhin, with his Special Operation, handed five admissions on a silver platter, five points that the Western world has wanted to hear for the last 12 months. And what have the Western Media Corporation editors done with it? Nothing. Duh!
They completely missed the Prigozhin Revelation of the TRUTH behind the Kremlin Special Operation.
Many Russian soldiers know in their hearts that the Russian Special Operation in Ukraine is a catastrophic error of judgment by the leadership in the Kremlin. The delusional Soviet Russo-worldview of nationalism drives them.
Therefore, the sooner the Russian people get a voice and object to the Russian war in Ukraine, sooner the better. 100,000 Russian wasted in the futile Russian Kremlin special operation? That will affect 500,000 Russians. What was the point of it all?
Kremlin Obsession With a Delusional Soviet Russo Worldview
What is a TRUE Biblical Worldview?
Why Biblical? Because a Biblical Worldview template and instructions were given to humanity some 3470 years ago at mount Sinai. What does it look like?
WHAT IS A WORLDVIEW EXPLAINED?
“Worldview is a concept, demarcation, rendition of our conscious perception.”
With a reasonable interpretation of the overall world experience that we live in. It has to be proven by experiential knowledge. And not only philosophized with theoretical knowledge.
Life itself is impacting, interacting, and engaging in all levels of the conscious experience of life. To repress one aspect of material world objective truth from the mind, conscience acknowledgment is possible. To suppress inconvenient truth is most often favored.
The human living functions of the mind, intellect, consciousness, imagination, will, memory, and emotions, with the inalienable human rights. Right to Life, right to liberty, and property right give people the false confidence every human subjective perception is a correct worldview.
The living human mind functions are highly subject to misleading imaginations and erroneous worldviews. Partly because people think with their passions, ambitions, hormones, feelings, and emotions. They make a common mistake, thinking that they can imagine and conjure up their own Worldview. And nobody has any right to correct anybody else’s subjective mind errors for an artist sketching, painting, and making sculptures that may be true. It may not violates anybody else’s rights.
An Objective Worldview according to the Spirit of the Natural Law A reality-based worldview defended here is logical and rational:
Reality. Truth based, factual knowledge about human nature and life on earth. Beliefs. What is True? Objective truth, with the First Principles of Logic. Values. What is Right? Morally right, including the intrinsic value of human life. Behavior and habits. What is the right behavior? Morally right behavior.
According to a Holy Creator of Life, Elohim. Why is the right choice an intelligent choice? Because it is giving space to the priori wisdom of the Creator of life, and it is giving priority to the right outcome. The right outcome is objectively verifiable. The right outcome is always competed for by many distractions, temptations, and compromise. The need to have absolutes for intelligent decision outcomes for problem-solving. Artificial intelligence also requires absolute values and absolute definitions. Also, for mathematics and geometry. 2 + 2 = 4. A square is a square, and a circle is a circle; they are not equal in shape or in meaning.”……………..

Good bye, Old Year! And with thee take Thanks for the gifts to every land Thou broughtest in thy bounteous hand, And all that thou hast taught to hearts thy lingering steps forsake. Good bye, Old Year! The Past awaiteth thee. Who ruleth in her power alone The kingdom of Oblivion. Silent she sits in ebon chair; Falling mists of dusky hair Veil her dark eyes’ glorious shine, Full of wise help, and truth divine. Silent, unless a fitful sound, As from some cavern underground, Steal from her lips; the company Of ancient Years that round her be, Then chanting, one by one, give tongue To old experience in their song.
Good bye, Old Year! Thou goest forth alone, As we shall do: thy pages gay, Seasons and months who round thee lay, Attend thee to Earth’s farthest verge, then back! to greet thy son.
Hail, New-born Year! Cradled in morning clouds Golden and white. I cannot see Thy face–’tis wrapp’d in mystery; But Spring for thee is painting flowers, And Summer decks her woven bowers; Rich Autumn’s sheaves will soon be reap’d, With store of fruits in sunbeams steep’d, And one by one with gentle hand folds back thy sunlit shrouds.
Hail, New-born Year! Shining and beautiful, Thou wilt step forth in plenitude Of youth and its rejoicing mood. Last child of the half-century, And time of coming victory Over the spirits of night and sin, Whose howlings of defeat begin: Thou bringest hope, and labour bless’d In visions of successful rest, Bringest great thoughts, and actions wrought In fire upon that forge of thought, And with the soul of earnestness I think thy youths are full.
Hail, New-born Year! My utterance is too weak To tell of all I think thou bringest, To echo back the song thou singest; But the very winds of Heaven for those who listen to them, speak!
New Year’s Resolution and a Clean House: Make It Happen in 2023
Worldview Conflicts in 2022 Conflicting Worldviews are the primary reason for unrest, rebellion, and wars in the world. Worldview preference, presumptions, illusions, and choice are always present in human psychology and demonstrated in society with life values, relationships, education, beliefs, ethics, religion, endeavors, and Nationalism.
Most often, individual people may not be conscious of their Worldview in detail or how different it may be from other people in their society or other people’s and Nation society. Conclusion: there are International events that draw people together from all over the world, whether around government, religion, sports, natural disasters, Media events, or some cultural festival event.
Worldview is often absorbed through national identity and hidden behind decades of family values, from parents, relationships in society. People are generally ushered in, conformed, and molded into a society with a national identity and a culturally learned Worldview. The spirit of Nationalism often overrides the details of specific ethics and moral values. Nationalism can override ethics and moral values if the spirit of Nationalism is lifted up blindly with zeal as a higher value.
Historical national narrative is often the motivator to compel people into a nationalistic Worldview. However, suppose a Worldview has a moral and ethical framework that Nationalism must abide inside. In that case, it can be a good and positive power that keeps the people united with a common purpose.
A CLAIM FOR A TRUE WORLDVIEW. (Amazon Books).
Historical interpretation of World War One and World War Two. National biases and government leaders’ corruption have manipulated history’s facts away from Truth. Victor’s justice is a mechanism that government leaders have used to manipulate history’s facts to suit their interests political and economic agenda.
From Moses’s times on mount Sinai 3460 years ago, the Holy Scriptures are explicit and present and define what is acceptable and prohibited by the Creator of Life on Earth.
Holy God does not tolerate hardcore atheism in government leaders who are the false prophets of society. Isaiah, the prophet, saw and felt the same confusion in his society. So he explicitly spoke out what the mind and the Word of the Lord were regarding what is morally right and what is Morally Wrong.
Isaiah 5: 18-24.
“Woe to those who begin by pulling at transgression with a thread, but end by dragging sin along as if with a cart rope. They say, “We want God to speed up his work, to hurry it along, so we can see it!
We want the Holy One of Isra’el’s plan to come true right now, so we can be sure of it!” Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who change darkness into light and light into darkness, who change bitter into sweet and sweet into bitter! Woe to those seeing themselves as wise, esteeming themselves as clever.
Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine, men whose power goes to mixing strong drinks, who acquit the guilty for bribes but deny justice to the righteous!
Therefore, as fire licks up the stubble, and the chaff is consumed in the flame; so their root will rot, and their flowers scatter like dust; because they have rejected the Torah of Adonai-Tzva’ot, they have despised the word of the Holy One of Isra’el.”
That is precisely what Isaiah warned the people of Israel against. And it is exactly what the Bolshevik leaders committed in Russia 1900-1922.
Creating the Soviet Union State Atheism. They violated every God-given principle in the most potent blatant ways, torturing, imprisoning, and murdering millions of God’s people. It did not stop with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
Russian leaders have the same spirit of the Soviet Union State Atheism, with Joseph Stalin Communism Worldview’s principles, as the driving force of Russian Nationalism. They do not recognize the Spirit of the Holy God or the instructions and commands given with the Oracles of God in the Torah. In fact, the Soviet Union leaders were the enemies of God in every way imaginable. Expansion of False Worldview Information Whether a cause is good and has merit, people get together and share their circumstances, life experiences, hopes, and ideas. Leaders also share publicly, market, and promote their ideas, products, and services or a particular Worldview.
Usually either a liberal or a conservative Worldview. A Liberal Worldview is usually without an ideology and fewer rules and constraints for moral behavior. Conservative Worldview most often has a Worldview, with rules and constraints for morally right behavior.
Leaders quickly whip up populist movements by promising people more money, freedom, rights, or civil action in society. Politicians in history have been the most destructive and have done the most damage to Humanity, causing millions of deaths. Why are the politicians? Because they can get a grip on an Entire nation and use the financial and military resources of a Nation to do war. Political leaders can manipulate the spirit of Nationalism to convince the people that a False Worldview is a True Worldview, according to the manipulated spirit of Nationalism.
That is precisely what Joseph Stalin managed to do in Russia. Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, and the Bolsheviks duped the Russian people into believing in erroneous ideology and a false Worldview. The only preventative blockage between the Bolshevik’s State Atheism and Russia’s people was the Jewish Holy Scriptures Bible. Therefore, the Bolsheviks had to create violence to the established religious structures, Churches, religious leaders, and believers. Soviet Union State atheism led by Joseph Stalin wiped out religious services and congregations in Russia.
Why did they wipe out religion? Because the God-given Jewish Holy Scripture True Worldview stood in the way of the Bolshevik’s rebellion and Anarchy. Can you now begin to understand how a False Worldview is in conflict with a True Worldview? A True Worldview is in line with the revealed Truth of the Holy scriptures.
What if someone refuses to believe in the revealed God-given True Worldview? Then the person refuses to believe God at His word. There may be several reasons why someone refuses to believe in Truth. The possibility that the person has been brainwashed into believing a lie cannot recognize Truth over error. This is another reason why the Soviet Union blew up and demolished church buildings, burnt bibles, and forbid the distribution and publication of bibles in the Soviet Union.
The Soviet leaders wanted the minds and the spirits of people in the Satanic darkness. God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob has used the written word to bring people out of darkness into light for the last 4000 years. It is God’s written word that gives light to the path and enlightens understanding and the knowledge of God so that we may know God personally.

Jeremiah 9: 23.
“Here is what Adonai says: “The wise man should not boast of his wisdom, the powerful should not boast of his power, the wealthy should not boast of his wealth; instead, let the boaster boast about this: that he understands and knows me — that I am Adonai, practicing grace, justice and righteousness in the land; for in these things I take pleasure,” says Adonai.”
Jeremiah 23: 29 (CJB).
“Isn’t my word like fire,” asks Adonai, “like a hammer shattering rocks?”
Isaiah 40: 8 (CJB).
“The grass dries up, the flower fades; but the word of our God will stand forever.”
Isaiah 55: 10-11 (CJB).
“For just as rain and snow fall from the sky and do not return there, but water the earth, causing it to bud and produce, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater; so is my word that goes out from my mouth —it will not return to me unfulfilled; but it will accomplish what I intend, and cause to succeed what I sent it to do.”
Defenders of the False Worldview Blame God’s Way Being the Wrong Way.
From early 1900 the Bolshevik rebellion in Russia blamed the legitimate Russian Government and the Monarchy for the injustice in the Russian society. The Bolshevik rebellion wanted Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, and Joseph Stalin Worldview. Also, for Russian people to conform to the Bolshevik Communist Worldview. What travels first, the horse, or the cart? Typical for rebellious people they posses a spirit of rebellion, and are looking for some excuse to manifest Anarchy.
According to the Holy Jewish Scriptures, human rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and incorrigible obstinate stubbornness is a sin of idolatry (1 Samuel 15: 23). 1 Samuel 15: 23 (KJV).
“For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king.”
Karl Marx and Lenin were of Jewish descent. They obviously had no interest in reading the five Books of Moses.
Or believing in the existence of YHWH.
Many of the Bolsheviks were Jews. So is it any wonder that in Germany the lawless rebellion and Anarchy of the Bolsheviks galvanized the German leader’s attitude and resistance to the Bolshevik’s Worldview.
The German people knew by heart that the Bolshevik’s Worldview was seriously erroneous and despicable. It was only 400 years after Martin Luther reformation in Europe.
There were many spiritual revivals in Germany during those 400 years leading up to the First World War. Russian Civil War followed the Bolshevik’s uprising and the overthrow of the Russian Tsar. First World War, which claimed the lives of about 3 million Russians, among some 15 million across the world as a whole.
Compare that to the Bolshevik’s orchestrated Russian Civil War casualties. The conflict raged across Eurasia for four years; the human cost was astronomical. It claimed approximately 15 million lives and reconfigured the whole of 20th-century history.
That was before Joseph Stalin established the Soviet Union State Atheism. “In his new book, historian Norman Naimark argues that the definition of genocide should include nations killing social classes and political groups. Naimark, the author of the controversial new book Stalin’s Genocides, argues that we need a much broader definition of genocide, one that includes nations killing social classes and political groups.
His case in point: Stalin.
The book’s title is plural for a reason: He argues that the Soviet elimination of a social class, the kulaks (who were higher-income farmers), and the subsequent killer famine among all Ukrainian peasants – as well as the notorious 1937 order No. 00447 that called for the mass execution and exile of “socially harmful elements” as “enemies of the people” – were, in fact, genocide.
I make the argument that these matters shouldn’t be seen as discrete episodes but seen together,” said Naimark, the Robert and Florence McDonnell Professor of Eastern European Studies and a respected authority on the Soviet regime.
“It’s a horrific case of genocide – the purposeful elimination of all or part of a social group, a political group.” Stalin had nearly a million of his own citizens executed, beginning in the 1930s. Millions more fell victim to forced labor, deportation, famine, massacres, and detention and interrogation by Stalin’s henchmen.”

The Soviet Stalin aggression on November 30, 1939, was pre-planned invasion well in advance, with the support of the Nazi German-Soviet Pact of Aggression. The invasion attempt of Finland by the Soviet forces during winter 1939.
How much time would it require to mobilize 21 Soviet divisions? A total of 450,000 troops. With all the logistics needed to invade Finland across the 1100 km border, to occupy all the way to the capital Helsinki.
There is a lot of logistics needed to supply 450,000 troops with munitions, fuel, field hospitals, and food. Therefore, the decision to invade across the border from the Gulf of Finland to the Arctic Sea was in the making for a considerable time. It was not what the Soviets claimed at the time, a reaction to Finland’s aggression.
The highest populated region of Finland, in the path of the Soviet Union military invasion, was the Karelian Isthmus land bridge. The region was populated by 407,000 Karelians; they had to be evacuated at short notice and leave their family homes behind. Leaving behind their farms, stocks, and lifelong memories to escape from being annexed by the invading Soviet military forces crossing the Finland border from the Russian side.
The 407,000 War refugees from Karelia families were taken to safety away from the Soviet Russian invasion into the Finland interior. Early in December, many children were separated from their families and placed in foster care in the Scandinavian countries.
During the 1939-40 Winter War and Continuation War in 1941-44, nearly 80,000 children transferred to Sweden, Denmark, and Norway.
About 72,000 children were taken to or left in Sweden, 4 200 in Denmark, and about one hundred children and mothers in Norway.
About 15,500 of them did not return to Finland; they were adopted by the families that had fostered them. The initial Winter War that started in November 1939 and ended in March 1940 only lasted three months (104 days). Many of the children returned home to Finland in 1940 once the threat of war was over.
RESETTLEMENT FROM SOVIET EXTORTION
The Finland Karelia region, where the 407,000 Karelian Finns had evacuated from, had to be re-settled in Finland. It was a large-scale operation to organize and manage, primarily because of the winter season. November to March is mid-winter, the Nordic land is covered in snow and ice, and extremely cold. War refugee families by the thousands had to be found accommodation hastily, in whatever building was available at the time, within a short notice.
Temporary accommodation at schools and community halls, later to be moved to rural communities sharing housing. Many people lived in small quarters that had to be made available for sharing with many other peoples, and at times families, parents, or grandparents.
During the winter of 1939 to 1940, re-accommodating hastily evacuated 407,000 war refugees was a tall challenge during the cold winter. It was a double inconvenience to the innocent peoples, extraordinarily shattering, depressing, and annoying as if life was not challenging enough without some megalomaniac despot dictator creating extra burdens on the honest, hard-working peoples and their families of the land.
It started on November 30, with Christmas, and all the family time celebrations, gifts, and delicious homemade foods, only three weeks away. How could anybody be such a moron? He would have to be an unspiritual pagan, unbelieving atheist, that was totally uncivilized, and most likely illiterate, that had never read the Good News of the Gospel story.
Imagine that, to plan and start a war across 1100 km border, with 450,000 troops, the war against peace, with only three weeks to Christmas? It was a well-planned, diabolically inspired strategic move to hit the people hardest, where it hurts the most, at home, and the families.
