Claim. SMM claims that the Ceremony of the Settlement of the Eight Stages, declared in Kodiak, Alaska on August 31, 1989, followed by the parent-centered ideology proclamation on September 1, caused the satanic world’s retreat — visible in the Berlin Wall’s collapse on November 9, 1989, and Gorbachev’s subsequent renunciation of communism.
Elaboration. This is a causal chronology claim: on August 31, 1989 SMM declared the Eight Stages in Kodiak; on September 1 he proclaimed “the ideology upholding the Heavenly Father” — the parent-centered ideology — “on top of the world.” Two months later, the Berlin Wall fell (2.4.1. The world today is rapidly changing due to the announcement of the Ceremony of the Settlement). The April 1990 Moscow conference then turned “the top echelon of the Soviet Union and the brightest members of their second generation” 180 degrees in his favor; three thousand Soviets fluent in English were selected and educated; Gorbachev “declared that they would give up communism. That was the end.”
The causal logic SMM offers: had the parent-centered ideology appeared on earth before now, there would be no Satan or sinful world; once established, the satanic world “must inevitably retreat.” The Berlin Wall and Soviet collapse are read not as contingent geopolitics but as visible consequences of a spiritual declaration.
This is one of the strongest empirical-providential claims in the corpus — it pins a verifiable historical date (November 9, 1989) to a prior ceremony (August 31, 1989), inviting test. Sympathetic readers see remarkable timing; critics see post-hoc framing of independently caused events. The claim also functions apologetically: “once they realize that God exists, they will arrive at the conclusion that they cannot help but follow that ideology.” Worth a thread on the methodology of identifying providential causation through chronological proximity.
