Bill Clinton figures that religion can be used for "reconciliation and conflict resolution," and thus has created a foundation called, aptly enough, the Bill Clinton Initiative. This timely observation validates The August Review's "Global Religion for Global Goverance."
Only hours after this Review published its "Global Religion for Global Goverance," WorldNetDaily released an article titled "Bill Clinton, world savior?"
Former President Bill Clinton is gearing up to host a private summit in New York aimed at solving what he believes are the top challenges in the world.
The Clinton Global Initiative slated for Sept. 15-17 is attracting some of the biggest names in politics and the private sector, including News Corporation CEO Rupert Murdoch, Time Warner chairman Richard Parsons, U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan, Israeli Vice Premier Shimon Peres, British Prime Minister Tony Blair, French President Jacques Chirac, and California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
"I am thrilled that world leaders from both the public and private sectors have agreed to support me and come together to make a difference," said Clinton. "And what we begin during three days in September will not end with the closing session of our event. My foundation will take the ideas we develop and keep working with our Global Initiative participants and others to achieve tangible results."
The goal is to identify immediate and pragmatic solutions to some of the world's most pressing problems, which Clinton has divided into four themes: how to reduce poverty, using religion as a force for reconciliation and conflict resolution, implementing new business strategies and technologies to combat climate change, and strengthening governance. [Emphasis added] *
The list of participants (Murdoch, Kofi Annan, Perez, Blair, etc.) aptly demonstrates just how serious the inclusion of religion is.
Bill Clinton is a member of the Trilateral Commission, the Council on Foreign Relations and is the consumate globalist/politician. If it has dawned on Clinton that religion can be used for "reconciliation and conflict resolution", then you can count on the rest of the global elite subscribe to that same belief. It will be interesting to see which Interfaith organizations line up with Clinton, or vice versa.
