French scholar explores the emergence of a Bi-Polar World

Professor Emmanuel Esiemokhai

I was listening to Bob James prancing away on the piano, when I chanced upon the following reflections. I remembered that one of the predictions of Nostradamus was that an Arab prince would start the events that would lead to the "Third World War". After reviewing the present trend in World politics, I became convinced that the Anti-Christ is now in the world, seeking for whom to destroy.

From the three points of the triangle, from the four points of the square, and from the twelve points of the Zodiac, I salute members of the Disunited nations.

I am a witness of the truth, as I know it about how the world got transformed into a unipolar entity as well as the disastrous consequences of this state of affairs worldwide. I witnessed the decades when leaders who were sure in their judgment ruled the world. I also lived through amazing times when some leaders governed through guess-work, hatred, dogmatism and so committed ergregarious blunders. As a result, many people now want a bipolar world to emerge once more.

Pundits are canvassing the expectation that the Russian Communist Party could win the next general elections next year. The Russian President, Vladimir Putin has said that he will not contest the forth-coming elections. The Russian Communist Party, having learnt from past mistakes appears poised to do very well next year. If that happens, ideological politics will take center stage and a bipolar world will emerge.

Latin American socialist states, Communist China, Communist Russia, the Asean states will forge a formidable alliance. This new block will have tremendous influence in world affairs. Some decades ago, these states were the target s of the Western nations because of their socialist aspirations.

I witnessed the era of the "containment" of Communism, and the combat of Communism, which later resulted in the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the emergence of pseudo-capitalist states in Eastern Europe. This, in turn, led to social dislocation, anarchy and a crude capitalist culture in Russia and former socialist states.

MacCarthyism fuelled the "containment doctrine"...
