The
Limits to Growth is considered to
be the most successful environmental publication ever produced and
propelled the Club of Rome to its current position of an
environmental thought-leader and a major consultant to the United
Nations.

Throughout the 1970s and 80s the
concept that humanity was irreparably damaging the earth gained
credence and facilitated the formation of mainstream and activist
environmental groups.

All meetings of the CoR are held
‘behind closed doors’ and no public records are kept.

The United Nations contracts the
Club of Rome to prepare ‘Policy Guidance Documents’ which
it uses in formulating its policies and programmes.

As many high ranking UN officials are
actually CoR members, this is like a man asking himself for advice,
and then agreeing with that advice. Not very objective!

Twenty
years after the Limits to Growth
the CoR published another major report that became an instant
best-seller. In The First Global Revolution
the Club of Rome claimed that the time to act had run out. It was now
or never.

Delay in beginning corrective measures will increase the
damage to the world ecological system and ultimately reduce the human
population that will eventually be supportable.

They also stated that
that democratic governments were far too short-sighted to deal with
the ‘problematique’ and new forms of governance are
urgently required.

As you read the following quotes please
remember the names of the leaders listed above.

It would seem that humans need a common
motivation, namely a common adversary, to organize and act
together in the vacuum;

such a motivation must be found to bring the
divided nations together to face an outside enemy, either a real
one or else one invented for the purpose.

New enemies
therefore have to be identified.
New strategies imagined, new
weapons devised.

In
searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that
pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and
the like would fit the bill.

All these dangers are caused by
human intervention, and it is only through changed attitudes and
behavior that they can be overcome.

The old democracies have functioned
reasonably well over the last 200 years, but they appear now to be in
a phase of complacent stagnation with little evidence of real
leadership and innovation

Democracy is not a panacea.
It cannot organize everything and it is unaware of its own limits.

Sacrilegious though this may
sound, democracy is no longer well suited for the tasks ahead.

In the same way that shamans and sooth-sayers in medieval times used
their advance knowledge of when eclipses would occur to control and
terrify their followers, they would use a natural phenomenon as their
'enemy' to achieve their objectives.

But then they state that
although Global Warming would be presented as the initial enemy, the
real enemy of humanity would be portrayed as man himself

I am
already noticing how frequently the terms climate change and
overpopulation are being uttered in the same breath.

Having
discovered that all these influential environmental leaders were
associated with the Club of Rome I set about reading all the reports,
lectures and speeches on their website as well as the reports
commissioned by the UN. I was amazed to find that they lay out their
entire agenda for anyone who has eyes to see.

Exactly the same
themes, concepts and phrases are repeated continuously throughout
their publications.

The Kosmos Journal
contains many articles written by CoR members.

The basic premise of
their worldview is:

"At
current rates of resource depletion and environmental degradation a
near complete collapse of ecological integrity will occur within the
next 100 years..."

"Gaia, our Mother, who nutured
humanity for countless millenia within her womb of evolution, is
dying..."

“A small window of opportunity now exists
to transform humanity into a sustainable global interdepedant society
based on respect and reverence for Earth..."

"A
radical change from the current trajectory is required, a complete
reordering of global society..."

"Humans only truly
unite when faced with a powerful external enemy..."

"At
this time a new enemy must be found, one either real or invented for
the purpose..."

Gaia,
Global Warming, and Global Governance are intricately entwined,
if one truly believes in Gaia, and that she is being fatally harmed
by the current system, then a new system of global governance and
control would appear to be the only answer.

Global Warming provides
the ideal 'enemy' to bring about this objective.

It is easy for these
global elitists to talk about sacrifice, wrenching transformation,
population control and halving the use of fossil fuels but the
implications are truely horrendous.

Everyday I am
amazed at how quickly things are changing. It is coming hard and
fast.
