TOPIC: AGENDA 21:
6-27-12 - WHEN I MEDITATE ON A TOPIC, I FIND IT VERY
INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT I SEE BECAUSE IT ALWAYS NEEDS TO BE INTERPRETED
ACCORDING TO WHAT SPIRIT IS TRYING TO TELL ME.
IN THAT LIGHT YOU WILL FIND THIS VERY INTERESTING:
I had just listened to an interview of a man called DRAKE and a woman
called DRAGON LADY who are promoted by David Wilcock and Benjamin
Fulford on their websites. This is also connected to the
NESARA program who I've always known to be a fraud in my opinion.
However, in today's interview, these people were ready to go to war
TODAY, and telling people not to riot, but to be prepared to fight an
all out battle against our own military because they believe they have
the right to do so to protect patriotic Americans from our own
government.
MY MEDITATION WAS NOT ABOUT DRAKE AND DRAGON LADY, IT WAS ABOUT AGENDA 21
I immediately saw a Caucasian face with three beautiful teeth that looked
hooked together in the mouth.
Then, as I watched, one tooth turned black and then other black teeth
appeared in the mouth and expanded across the whole width of my
visionary screen.
You can imagine how disturbing that is, because something that starts out
sound and beautiful turns black and ugly over time.
That is why DRAKE and LADY DRAGON are upset, but not only that.
Even though Agenda 21 is said to be voluntary and non-binding, DRAKE
considers it a CONSTITUTION which is held in obeyance over and above our
own Constitution if we sign it.
Our own Constitution states that we CANNOT sign any treaty or agreement
with another country.
Enuff said there!
This is a good idea not only in
OHIO, but in all States. Call your governors and tell them to
publicly oppose this U.N. unConstitutional further destruction of
freedoms. Tell them to take a stand for freedom and independence,
and further expose agenda 21 for all of your States citizens.
GET US OUT OF THE U.N., AND GET
THE U.N. OUT OF THE U.S. !

Agenda 21 is a non-binding and voluntarily implemented action
plan of the
United Nations (UN) related to
sustainable development. It was a core outcome from the
United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED)
held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992. Succinctly, Agenda 21 is a
comprehensive blueprint of action to be taken globally, nationally, and
locally by organizations of the UN, governments, and major groups in
every area in which humans directly affect the
environment. The "21" in Agenda 21 refers to 21st Century. The
blueprint has been affirmed and/or has been modified at subsequent UN
conferences.
Structure and
contents
Agenda 21 has 351 pages divided into 40 chapters, grouped into four
main sections:
The full text of Agenda 21 was revealed at the United Nations
Conference on Environment and Development (Earth
Summit), held in
Rio de Janeiro on June 13, 1992, where 178 governments voted to
adopt the program. The final text was the result of drafting,
consultation, and negotiation, beginning in 1989 and culminating at the
two-week conference. The number 21 refers to an agenda for the 21st
Century.
Rio+5 (1997)
In 1997, the
General Assembly of the UN held a special session to appraise five
years of progress on the implementation of Agenda 21 (Rio +5). The
Assembly recognized progress as 'uneven' and identified key trends
including increasing
globalization, widening inequalities in
income and a continued deterioration of the global environment. A
new General Assembly
Resolution (S-19/2) promised further action.
During the first World Public Meeting on Culture, held in
Porto Alegre, Brazil in 2002, it came up with the idea to draw up
document guidelines for local cultural policies, a document comparable
to what Agenda 21 meant in 1992 for the environment.[1]
The
Agenda 21 for culture is the first document with worldwide mission
that advocates establishing the groundwork of an undertaking by cities
and local governments for cultural development.
In the various subsections of the Agenda 21 document, the agenda will
be carried out through a wide range of sub-programs, and various Acts
which will be enacted starting in various G8 countries, etc.
The
commission on Sustainable Development acts as a high level forum on
sustainable development and has acted as preparatory committee for
summits and sessions on the implementation of Agenda 21. The United
Nations Division for Sustainable Development acts as the secretariat to
the Commission and works 'within the context of' Agenda 21.
Implementation by member states remains essentially voluntary and its
adoption has varied.
The implementation of Agenda 21 was intended to involve action at
international, national, regional and local levels. Some national and
state governments have legislated or advised that local authorities take
steps to implement the plan locally, as recommended in Chapter 28 of
the document. These programs are often known as 'Local Agenda 21' or
'LA21'.[2]
For example, in the Philippines, the plan is 'Philippines Agenda 21'
(PA21). The group, ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability formed in
1990, today counts members in more than 1200 cities, towns, counties,
and their associations in 70 countries comprise, and is widely regarded
as an example vehicle promoting the implementation of Agenda 21.[3]
In other countries, opposition to Agenda 21's ideas has surfaced to
varied extents. In some cases, opposition has been legislated into
several States limiting or forbidding the participation and/or funding
of local government activities that support Agenda 21.[4]
Countries with groups opposed to Agenda 21
Political opposition in Australia
In Australia, the political group Act Australia has labeled Agenda 21
"a threat to freedom" and publishes a series of articles against the
agenda.[5]
Political
opposition in France
In France, some groups have come out to call Agenda 21 a sham.[6]
Political opposition in the United States
In the United States, some
Tea Party linked activists view Agenda 21 as a
conspiracy by the
United Nations.[7]
Several state and local governments have considered or passed motions
and legislation opposing Agenda 21.[8][9][10][11][12]
Nationally, in 2012 the
Republican National Committee (RNC) drafted a resolution opposing
Agenda 21, calling it "a comprehensive plan of extreme environmentalism,
social engineering, and global political control."[13]
The language for this resolution, and others introduced in various state
houses around the country, was drafted by the
John Birch Society as a "model resolution" to oppose Agenda 21.[14]Alabama
became the first state to prohibit government participation in Agenda
21.[15]
....... SUMMARY FOR THOSE WHO ARE ON
DIALUP AND CAN'T
WATCH VIDEOS
(Population reduction, Bank Scams
etc..) 36 Minutes
The dark side of the sustainable development movement George
Hunt, a business consultant, was present at the earlier
mentioned 1987 Fourth ... all » World Wilderness Congress as
a member of the staff. He initially wanted to buy a ticket,
George Hunt, 1992 but this proved to be much too expensive
($650). At the conference he noticed it had very little to
do with the conventional environment movement and was
surprised to see people like Maurice Strong, Edmund de
Rothschild (Pilgrims Society), David Rockefeller (Pilgrims
Society), and James A. Baker (Pilgrims Society; Cap & Gown;
trustee American Institute for Contemporary German Studies;
Atlantic Council of the United States;
National Security Planning Group; Bohemian Grove; CFR;
Carlyle; advisor George W. Bush in his 2000 election). In
his two videos, produced in 1989 and 1992, he plays audio
recordings of several of the 1987 speakers, including
Maurice Strong and Edmund de Rothschild (71). There's not
really a reason to label these recordings a hoax (to use UFO
community language) and subsequently denounce George Hunt as
a fraud. In fact, Hunt could hardly have done a better job
at presenting his evidence. However, some of the evidence
this person has uncovered is so amazing, that most people
will remain skeptical (like me), no matter how much evidence
is presented. If what Hunt is claiming is true, then it
confirms the overall picture that has been sketched in this
article. First take a look at the following Fourth World
Wilderness Conference (1987) statement from David Lang
(spelling unknown; a Montreal banker, according to Hunt):
"I suggest therefore that this be sold not through a
democratic process - that would take too long and devour far
too much of the funds - to
educate the cannon fodder, unfortunately, that populates
the earth. We have to take almost an elitist program, [so]
that we can see beyond our swollen bellies, and look to the
future in timeframes and in results which are not easily
understood, or which can be, with intellectual honesty, be
reduced down to some kind of simplistic definition." [snobby
emphasis on 'simplistic'] -
I watched the video late last evening
- but this dream came in a morning nap today:
10-3-08 - DREAM - Joe and I were
working on our computers side by side as we normally do.
I was trying to get my mouse to point
at a particular link so I could watch a video about the New
World Order.
(I watched the UNCED video last night,
which was about a meeting that took place in 1992, where
Rothchild made a statement about ruling the world through
controlling the environment, particularly waterwarys, the
air and the control of getting rid of what we no longer want
- trucks and garbage removal. Rothchild presented his
statement to the UN and it was adapted by all the countries
without debate or rebuttal.)
I wanted Joe to watch this video and he
kept saying he was too busy.
I looked out the
window on my right into the neighbor's yard which was
fenced in.
In the center of their yard, on a hill,
was a beautiful, young tree which was staked nicely so it
stood straight.
Two black beef steers were fighting
with each other and diving over each other's backs to see
which one could strip the branches off that beautiful tree.
To the left of the tree and down hill
from it, was a
German Shepherd dog and a large red Fox fighting with
each other.
I jumped up and called to Joe to look
out the window and he said he was too busy to look.
By now I was really upset at what I was
seeing and I wanted to go outside and stop the animals from
what they were doing, but I had a hard time stepping over a
pile of printouts I had made of religious websites and
various other topics.
The pile tipped over and I had to be
careful not to step on these important pages of information.
I looked back out the window and the
beef steers were wrestling with each other and leaving the
tree alone now, and it looked like the tree would survive
the attack on it as long as no one steer conquered the other
one.
But, I then saw that the fox was not
only in the clutches of the German Shepheard dog, the hind
quarters of the fox was half eaten off and it was still
struggling to fight with the dog and not giving up.
I had to stop watching the animals
because I couldn't bear to look anymore and I turned to look
at my house and saw that the floors were bare plywood. We
had no carpet, no furniture, other than our computers and a
chair to sit on at the computer, and thats all we had.
Besides that, our computers wouldn't let us look at what we
wanted because the mice wouldn't cooperate and point at what
we wanted to look at to see.
NOTE: I finished writing down the dream
and looked at the clock and it was exactly 11:11 a.m.

The Earth Summit
The Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro was unprecedented for a
UN conference, in terms of both its size and the scope of
its concerns. Twenty years after the first global
environment conference, the UN sought to help Governments
rethink economic development and find ways to halt the
destruction of irreplaceable natural resources and pollution
of the planet. Hundreds of thousands of people from all
walks of life were drawn into the Rio process. They
persuaded their leaders to go to Rio and join other nations
in making the difficult decisions needed to ensure a healthy
planet for generations to come.
The Summit’s message — that nothing less than a
transformation of our attitudes and behaviour would bring
about the necessary changes — was transmitted by almost
10,000 on-site journalists and heard by millions around the
world. The message reflected the complexity of the problems
facing us: that poverty as well as excessive consumption by
affluent populations place damaging stress on the
environment. Governments recognized the need to redirect
international and national plans and policies to ensure that
all economic decisions fully took into account any
environmental impact. And the message has produced results,
making eco-efficiency a guiding principle for business and
governments alike.
Patterns of production — particularly the
production of toxic components, such as lead in
gasoline, or poisonous waste — are being scrutinized in
a systematic manner by the UN and Governments alike;
Alternative sources of energy are being sought to
replace the use of fossil fuels which are linked to
global climate change;
New reliance on public transportation systems is
being emphasized in order to reduce vehicle emissions,
congestion in cities and the health problems caused by
polluted air and smog;
There is much greater awareness of and concern
over the growing scarcity of water.
The two-week Earth Summit was the climax of a process, begun
in December 1989, of planning, education and negotiations
among all Member States of the United Nations, leading to
the adoption of Agenda 21, a wide-ranging blueprint for
action to achieve sustainable development worldwide. At its
close, Maurice Strong, the Conference Secretary-General,
called the Summit a “historic moment for humanity”. Although
Agenda 21 had been weakened by compromise and negotiation,
he said, it was still the most comprehensive and, if
implemented, effective programme of action ever sanctioned
by the international community. Today, efforts to ensure its
proper implementation continue, and they will be reviewed by
the UN General Assembly at a special session to be held in
June 1997.
The Earth Summit influenced all subsequent UN conferences,
which have examined the relationship between human rights,
population, social development, women and human settlements
— and the need for environmentally sustainable development.
The World Conference on Human Rights, held in Vienna in
1993, for example, underscored the right of people to a
healthy environment and the right to development,
controversial demands that had met with resistance from some
Member States until Rio.
Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of action to be
taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of
the United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in
every area in which human impacts on the environment.
The full implementation of Agenda 21, the Programme
for Further Implementation of Agenda 21 and the Commitments
to the Rio principles, were strongly reaffirmed at the World
Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) held in
Johannesburg, South Africa from 26 August to 4 September
2002.
Sustainable Development:
A Global Agenda Structured On Population
Control
- By Laurene Conner
A movement of
vital proportion, ignored by the major
media, kept off-limits from the general
public, has been on the United Nations
(UN) drawing board for well over ten
years. This movement would nullify our
Constitutional structure with its
freedoms and prerogatives enshrined in
the Bill of Rights, including our
unhampered right to religious freedom.
It masquerades behind the facade of
"sustainable development."
In December 1983, Javier Perez de
Cuellar, UN Secretary-General, asked
Mrs. Gro Harlem Brundtland, Norway, to
chair a World Commission on Environment
and Development (UNCED) focusing on
"long-term environmental strategies for
achieving sustainable development by the
year 2000 and beyond."1
Previously she had been Prime Minister
of Norway and had served on other UN
Commissions - the Brandt Commission on
North-South Issues and the Palme
Commission on security and disarmament.
Now she was asked "to help formulate a
third and compelling call for political
action" on environment and development."2
Here a one-world pattern begins to
emerge: the Brandt Commission bore the
title "Program for Survival and Common
Crisis"; the Palme Commission "Common
Security"; and the Brundtland
Commission, "Common Future"3
There is also a political cord common to
the chairmen: Willy Brandt, former Prime
Minister of Germany, was until his death
president of the Socialist
International. Olof Palme, Prime
Minister of Sweden, was a socialist
leader and Chairman of the Social
Democratic Party who was assassinated in
Stockholm. Gro Harlem Brundtland, former
Prime Minister of Norway was also a
"member of the Socialist International."
These chairmen shared the bond of
socialism, a bond at variance with both
the U.S. Constitution and the Social
Doctrine of the Catholic Church.
The Resolution adopted at the UN
General Assembly in 1983 directed the
chair and vice-chair of the new UNCED to
"jointly appoint the remaining members
of the Commission, half of whom were to
be selected from the developing world."4
Members of the Brundtland Commission
came from 21 "very different nations"
and included Jim McNeill and Maurice
Strong from Canada and the American,
William D. Ruckelshaus, the first head
of the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (ERA). He is also a member of the
Business Council for Sustainable
Development launched in 1990 by Maurice
Strong. The Business Council called for
"new forms of cooperation between
government, business and society to
achieve sustainable development."5
What Is Meant By Sustainable
Development?
The Brundtland Commission
describes Sustainable Development as
"Development that meets the needs of the
present without compromising the ability
of future generations to meet their own
needs."6 It is further
defined: ". . . Sustainable Development
can only be pursued if demographic
developments are in harmony with the
changing productive potential of the
ecosystem."7 And again, . . .
"at a minimum Sustainable Development
must not endanger the natural systems
that support life on Earth - the waters,
the soils, and the living beings" The
pattern that begins to surface here
becomes more pronounced in the body of
the Commission's report which was
presented to the UN General Assembly in
1987.
The thrust of the "unanimous
report" after three years of hearings
held on five continents appears in the
Chairman's Foreword in comments such as
"the rights of people to adequate food,
sound housing, safe water, to access to
means of choosing the size of their
families" (xi); ". . . survival issues
relating to uneven development, poverty
and population growth" (xii); "the need
for 'major changes' . . . in attitudes
and in the way our societies are
organized" (xiii).8
Following the Chairman's Foreword,
an "Overview By The Commission Members"
becomes more specific: ". . .
Sustainable Development is not a fixed
state of harmony, but rather a process
of change. . . . We do not pretend that
the process is easy or straightforward.
Painful choices have to be made. Thus in
the final analysis, sustainable
development must rest on political
will."9 "Governments that
need to do so should develop long-term
multifaceted population policies and a
campaign to pursue broad demographic
goals to strengthen social, cultural and
economic motivations for family
planning, and to provide to all who want
them the education, contraceptives and
services required."10
Dispersed throughout the 400 pages
of Our Common Future are so
many references to population:
"Population and Human Resources," "The
Population Perspective," "Managing
Population Growth," as to suggest a
pre-conceived agenda. At the conclusion
of its final meeting held in Tokyo in
1987, the Commission recommended
"principles to guide their policy
actions" including Principle #4 to
"Ensure a Sustainable Level of
Population" "Population policies should
be formulated and integrated with other
economic and social development
programmes. . . . Increased access to
family planning services is itself a
form of social development that allows
couples, and women in particular, the
right to self-determination."11
A Brundtland Commission
recommendation that the UN General
Assembly prepare a "Universal
Declaration on environmental protection
and sustainable development" resulted in
the Earth Summit held in Rio de Janeiro
in 1992. The Canadian, Maurice Strong, a
radical environmentalist who had served
on the Brundtland Commission, was
selected secretary-general. "According
to an Associated Press report,
Strong declared: 'the United States is
the greatest threat to the world's
ecological health. . . . In effect, the
United States is committing
environmental aggression against the
rest of the world.'"12
At the opening session of the UN
Conference on Environment and
Development (The Earth Summit) Maurice
Strong, the UNCED Secretary-General,
bemoaned the world's "explosive increase
in Population" and warned "we have been
the most successful species ever; we are
now a species out of control. Population
must be stabilized and rapidly."13
Sustainable America - A New
Consensus
A few months after his
inauguration as President of the United
States, Bill Clinton, June 23, 1993,
created by
Executive Order #12852, the
President's Council on Sustainable
Development which identifies with the
Brundtland Commission. The Council's
We Believe Statement "is a set of
fundamental beliefs the members share
that provide the foundations for its
recommendations." Statement #11 is
concerned with population: "The United
States should have policies and programs
that contribute to stabilizing global
human population; this objective is
critical if we hope to have the
resources needed to ensure a high
quality of life for future generations."14
This emphasis continues under
"U.S. Population and Sustainability":
"A sustainable United States
is one where all Americans have
access to family planning and
reproductive health services. . . "
"Population growth will make
the objective of sustainable
development more difficult"15
"Continued population growth
in the United States steadily makes
more difficult the job of mitigating
the environmental impact of American
resources and waste production
patterns."16
"As recognized at the
International Conference on
Population and Development in Cairo
in 1994 all nations have
responsibility for managing
population growth. The United States
must provide leadership by setting
an example."17
"Involving as it does
difficult issues as personal
childbearing decisions,
contraceptive methods, teenage
sexual behavior and the high rate of
abortion in the United States . . .
the Council believes these issues .
. . must be addressed . . . in a way
that is consistent with the various
religious and ethical values and
cultural background of the American
people. . . . The Council has not
discussed nor do its recommendations
relate to or take a position on the
issue of abortion."18
"The nation's family
assistance efforts must provide
education and outreach to prevent
unintended pregnancies. . . . An
effective way to reduce the number
of unintended pregnancies and births
in the United States is to expand
access to family planning education
and related reproductive health
services. . . . Family planning is
highly cost-effective compared with
the social and public costs of
unintended pregnancy, and it helps
assure that every child is a wanted
child."19
The President's Council Acknowledges
Gore's Role
The leadership role Vice President
Al Gore has acquired in promoting the
environmental picture is recognized in
the President's Council on Sustainable
Development's (PCSD) Building On
Consensus - Progress Report on
Sustainable America. It declares
that sustainable development is "both
urgent and important" and "will be a
foundation for both domestic and foreign
policy."21 Gore is given
credit for "champion(ing) the cause of
sustainable development at the Earth
Summit" in Rio.22 As Vice
President, Gore created an Interagency
Working Group on Sustainable Development
which provided the President with "the
raw material needed to ensure that the
goals and principles of sustainable
development (were) integrated into (his)
second term agenda."23
Upon receipt of the PCSD report,
Clinton requested among three items
"that the Vice President lead the effort
to implement recommendations with the
administration."24
In 1992 Gore had authored the book
Earth In The Balance: Ecology And The
Human Spirit. In the chapter
"Environmentalism of the Spirit" he
questions whether God "when giving us
dominion over the Earth . . . chose an
appropriate technology."25
Gore wrote "that monotheism was once
useful because it was a profoundly
empowering idea" However, he says "
'empowerment' must now be obtained by
consulting 'the wisdom instilled by all
faiths.'" "This panreligious
perspective" he continues, "may prove
especially important where our global
civilization's responsibility for the
earth is concerned."26
"We must all become partners in a
bold effort to change the very
foundation of our civilization. . . . We
must make the rescue of the environment
the central organizing principle for
civilization."27 These are
disturbing statements. The use of the
word "must" should not be dismissed
lightly especially in the context of
changing the very foundation of our
civilization.
"THE FAMILY - THE HEART OF THE
CULTURE OF LIFE" - John Paul II
Our Holy Father, Pope John Paul
II, has on numerous occasions directed
attention to the Church's constant
teaching on the dignity of the human
person and the assault on that God-given
dignity by national governments and the
United Nations.
In 1991, four years after the
publication of the Brundtland Commission
report. Pope John Paul II commemorated
the Hundredth Anniversary of Rerum
Novarum by promulgating the
encyclical Centisimus Annus.
This doctrinal teaching is also relevant
to the President's Council on
Sustainable Development which identifies
with the Brundtland Commission report.
Centisimus Annus teaches:
"Although people are rightly worried . .
. about preserving the natural habitat
of the various animal species . . . too
little effort is made to safeguard
the moral conditions for an authentic
'human ecology' " (n. 38 emphasis
in original). "The first and fundamental
structure for 'human ecology' is the
family. . . . Here we mean the
family founded on marriage. . . .
But it often happens that people are
discouraged from creating the proper
conditions for human reproduction and
are led to consider themselves and their
lives as a series of sensations to be
experienced rather than a work to be
accomplished" (n. 39).
". . . In the face of the
so-called culture of death, the family
is the heart of the culture of life.
Human ingenuity seems to be directed
more towards limiting, suppressing or
destroying the source of life -
including recourse to abortion. . . .
The encyclical Sollicitudo Rei
Socialis denounced systematic
anti-child-bearing campaigns which on
the basis of a distorted view of the
demographic problem (forces the parties
involved) . . . to submit to new form(s)
of oppression" (n.39).
In June 1997, the Holy See was
represented at a UN General Assembly
reviewing that body's commitment made at
the 1992 Rio Summit on Environment and
Development. Archbishop Jean-Louis
Taurant, Vatican Secretary for Relations
with States, speaking at the plenary
session, directed attention to the
"reservations and interpretations made
by the Holy See at the time of the
recent international conferences of the
United Nations which let us not
forget - are included in the same
conference reports" (emphasis added).
"I am thinking specifically of the
interpretation of terms such as
'reproductive health,' 'sexual health,'
and 'family planning' which we find in
this meeting's document."28
Science And Religion: An Ecological
Alliance
Beginning in 1982, plans were
crafted to draw religious leaders into
the UN orbit on the environmental issue,
using a series of UN-sponsored
committees and meetings. A UN Global
Committee of Parliamentarians on
Population and Development was created
"to provide information on global
survival issues to parliamentarians,
spiritual leaders and the media, and to
fund network meetings at national,
regional and global levels' This
committee was funded by the UN
Population Fund and a special trust fund
established by the UN Development Fund.29
A Global Forum of Spiritual and
Parliamentary Leaders On Human Survival
formed in 1988 was cosponsored by the
Temple of Understanding and the
above-mentioned UN Global Committee. The
president of the Temple of Understanding
(located at the Episcopal Cathedral of
St. John the Divine, New York City) is
the Very Reverend James Parks Morton,
former Dean of the Cathedral and
co-chair of the Council of the Global
Forum of Spiritual and Parliamentary
Leaders for Human Survival. This Global
Forum held meetings at Oxford, England
(1988) and in Moscow (1990).
The principal speaker at Oxford,
James Lovelock, a Fellow of the
Lindisfarne Association (a New Age group
headquartered at the Cathedral) had
authored the book
The Ages of Gaia. He told his Oxford
audience "on Earth she (Gaia) is the
source of everlasting life and is alive
now; she gave birth to humankind and we
are part of her"30 Lovelock
believes "Orthodox Christianity properly
understood is a distortion of the pure
forms of religious truth" and that "we
must immediately return to the worship
of the Earth goddess if we are to save
ourselves from destruction."31
The Moscow Forum in 1990 "featured
Mikhail Gorbachev and the then-UN
Secretary-General Javier Perez de
Cuellar. It was sponsored by the Supreme
Soviet and the International Foundation
for Survival and Development along with
the UN Global Committee of
Parliamentarians on Population and
Development.32 Gorbachev
called for "each nation to produce state
of the environment reports at the 1992
Conference on Environment and
Development in Rio de Janeiro and he
reiterated his earlier call for a UN
'Green Cross. . . .'" "The primary
thrust of this Forum was to explore the
role the news media could play in
promoting global survival 'and
especially sustainable development'."33
An appeal was also launched for
"science and religion to 'join hands' in
a new ecological alliance." The Rev.
James P. Morton, former Dean of the
Cathedral and co-chair of the Forum
said, "We welcome the scientists' appeal
and are eager to explore as soon as
possible concrete, specific forms of
collaboration and action. The Earth
itself calls us to new levels of joint
commitment."34
Among religious leaders who signed
the appeal document were (the late)
Joseph Cardinal Bernardin, Archbishop of
Chicago, and the Rev. Theodore Hesburgh.
President Emeritus of Notre Dame
University.
Religious Leaders Targeted To Create
Consensus
Following the Moscow Forum Joint
Appeal, a conference was held in May of
1990, in Washington, D.C., sponsored by
the North American Conference on
Religion and Ecology. "Designed to help
the religious community enter into the
environmental movement," an elaborate
program took place at the Episcopal
Washington National Cathedral and the
Omni Shoreham Hotel under the banner
"Caring for Creation." One of the stated
goals was "to develop leadership
networks for a regenerated Earth
Community."
A special attraction was the
appearance of Prince Philip of
Edinburgh. The keynote address was
delivered by Brian Swimme billed as "an
expert on science and creation
spirituality." Swimme, an associate for
many years of the former priest Matthew
Fox, has collaborated with the
self-styled "geologian" priest Thomas
Berry. The Director of the UN
Environment Program was a speaker and
the subject of another address was
"Science and Religion Joining Hands to
Save the Environment" Thus, links were
established with the Moscow and Oxford
Forums, the Global Forum of Spiritual
and Parliamentary Leaders for Survival,
and the Temple of Understanding.35
The official program quoted both
Thomas Berry and Gro Harlem Brundtland,
chairman of the UN Commission that
produced the report Our Common
Future. A "reception honoring
environmentally-concerned elected
officials" was also an attraction:
Senator Al Gore one of the two so
honored.
Again in 1990, a coalition of 200
environmental organizations following
the guidance of the Director of the
Temple of Understanding's Joint Appeal,
invited the "then-Senator Al Gore to a
breakfast symposium . . . before he
delivered a Sunday sermon at the
Cathedral of St. John the Divine." And
in October, Senator Gore and three other
senators arranged a Congressional
breakfast that resulted in a decision to
expand the Joint Appeal to initiate
environmental programs; to measure
interest in grassroots religious
environmental activity; and to
facilitate formal consultation between
religious leaders and scientists."36
In June 1991, at a meeting of
religious leaders, scientists, and
members of Congress a conclusion was
reached: "We believe a consensus now
exists at the highest levels of
religious tradition that the cause of
environmental integrity and justice must
occupy a position of utmost priority for
people of faith."37
And thus the National Religious
Partnership for the Environment came to
be.
This Partnership is a "formal
agreement" among four of the nation's
largest religious organizations:
U. S. Catholic Conference
National Council of Churches
of Christ
Coalition on the Environment
and Jewish Life
Evangelical Environmental
Network
The Union of Concerned Scientists
enjoys a "special consultative
relationship" with this National
Partnership.
This Partnership is in the process
of mailing "education and action kits to
53,000 congregations" estimated to
"reach 100 million church goers" Paul
Gorman, the Executive Director of the
Partnership (and the 1990 Director of
the Temple of Understanding's Joint
Appeal) is quoted as saying "how people
of faith engage the environmental crisis
will have much to do with the future
well-being of the planet and in all
likelihood with the future of religion
as well."38
A 1993 press conference that
followed the formal announcement of the
National Religious Partnership for the
Environment featured Vice President Gore
who said this Partnership "will trigger
the beginning of grassroots activity in
tens of thousands of religious
congregations across the country."39
Dignitaries attending this
announcement included Bishop James
Malone, Youngstown, Ohio, and Dean James
P. Morton who praised Gore "for the role
he played in bringing the Partnership to
life."40
"Every Catholic parish plus every
Reform and Conservative Synagogue in the
nation is to receive Partnership kits,
as well as teleconference and videos for
Catholic dioceses, parishes and
schools."41
NCCB/USCC Endorse Sustainable
Development
The U.S. Catholic Bishops, in
November, 1995, approved a program
prepared by the USCC Department of
Social Development and World Peace
titled, "Let The Earth Bless The Lord:
God's Creation And Our Responsibility."
A cover letter included in this "parish
resource kit" expressed gratitude "for
the essential interfaith collaboration
made possible through our membership in
the National Religious Partnership for
the Environment" It was signed by Most
Rev. Theodore E. McCarrick, Chairman of
the International Policy Committee and
Most Rev. William S. Skystad. Chairman
of the Domestic Policy Committee.
Although "sustainable development"
appears repeatedly in this USCC "parish
resource kit," no mention is made of the
400-page UN book Our Common Future,
which the World Commission On
Environment and Development published in
1987 which popularized the concept
"sustainable development."
The title given the USCC article,
"The Flourishing Of The Human Family -
Protecting The Environment: the
Sustainable Development Model," is
itself a misnomer, a misconception. It
fails to document that population
control is the objective of the
international body. This is an
incredible lack of scholarship and a
disservice to the laity which reflects
poorly on the oversight responsibilities
of the two archbishops who chair the
international and domestic committees
involved. (Note: See Section titled,
"What Is Meant By Sustainable
Development" above.)
Targeting Catholic Religious Orders
For Consensus Building
In this unfolding documentation,
religion emerges as an important factor
in consensus building. A key-note actor
in this development is 25-year-old,
New-York-City-based Global Education
Associates; Patricia M. Mische,
president. In 1973, "when many religious
orders sought GEA help in revisioning
their charisms, missions and
constitution in light of Vatican II
mandates for bringing religious life
into the Modern World," a GEA
Partnership was formed.
GEA recognized "that religious
orders with their dedicated members
committed to global spirituality and a
more humane and ecologically responsible
world order represent(ed) a unique and
providential fiber for the work of
global systemic change. . . . The GEA
Religious Orders Partnership provide(d)
the forum through which the charism of
religious life can address the global
agenda and serve the global community."42
Today, 150 religious orders comprise
this group.
The role Partnership plays in
furthering the goals of GEA is shown in
its Board of Trustees and its
International Advisory Council. The 1997
Board of Trustees includes Patricia
Mische, President; Sharon Frisch,
C.S.J., Secretary-Treasurer; Dr. John
Healey, Fordham University; Miriam
Therese MacGillis, O.P., Director of
Genesis Farm, Blairstown, N.J., a center
for education in Earth stewardship.
Among the many names listed on
GEA's International Advisory Council are
Catholics usually identified as of the
"left": Joan Chittister, O.S.B.; Robert
Drinan, S.J.; Thomas Gumbleton,
Auxiliary Bishop, Detroit; Rev. Theodore
Hesburgh, President Emeritus Notre Dame
University; Fr. Thomas Berry, who has
stated: "I am united with GEA in its
mission of building partnerships to
influence the development of a more just
and sustainable world order."43
Berry, "a long-time friend,"
co-authored the 1992 book
The Universe Story with Brian Swimme
who teaches at the Institution on
Creation Spirituality, Oakland CA, under
the leadership of the former Dominican
(now Episcopalian) priest, Matthew Fox.
Donna Steichen in her landmark book.
Ungodly Rage, finds a common bond
between Fox and Berry in that both hold
that "a post-Christian belief system is
taking over - one that sees the earth as
a living being -mythologically, as Gaia,
Earth Mother - with mankind as her
consciousness." Steichen remarks: "Such
worship of the universe is properly
called cosmolatry."44
Berry, who also authored
The Dream Of The Earth, commented
recently: "Earth is a mystical presence'
an illuminated presence; a sacred
Presence. That's the way divinity works.
We return to our Mother the Earth."45
This remark gives substance to
Steichen's observation.
"Thomas Berry's wisdom has been
foundational in educating toward Earth
literacy . . .. Through the insight of
The Universe Story . . .
students at Genesis Farm have gained a
self-identification that is
Earth-centered."46 Genesis
Farm founder, Sr. Miriam Therese
MacGillis, O.P., is a close associate of
Berry and promoter of his work, and is
on the Board of Trustees of GEA as
mentioned above.
At the 1997 GEA Religious Orders
Partnership annual meeting, the keynote
address was given by Nancy Sylvester,
I.H.M., who for many years directed
NETWORK, the Catholic Social Justice
Lobby. Other Catholic speakers mentioned
were Ethel Howley, S.S.N.D., a NGO
representative; Monica McGloin, O.P.,
associated with Earth Centers; Elizabeth
Johnson, C.S.J., who gave an analysis of
religious life as a "social
movement."47 (emphasis
added)
The 1997-1999 Partnership for
Action includes the following:
To "promote and foster Earth
spirituality and engage in
activities that are ecologically
responsive";
To "initiate, facilitate and
maintain communication between and
among religious congregations who
are responding to ecological
concerns";
To "collaboratively promote a
UN Earth Charter";
To "foster learning about
global citizenship";
To "promote support for the
United Nations."48
Promoting Partnership Between Un
Agencies And Religious Groups
During May 3-7, 1997, GEA held a
Religion and World Order Symposium
co-sponsored by Fordham University
Institute on Religion and Culture and
the Center for Mission Research Study at
Maryknoll. This was a "program of the
Religious Council of Project 2000,"
which in turn is a "partnership between
UN agencies and secular and religious
nongovernmental organizations (NGO)."
Initiated by GEA in 1990, the Symposium
carries the endorsement of UNESCO's
program on the Contribution of Religion
to a Culture of Peace. "40 scholars from
different religious traditions' approved
recommendations that:
A People's Assembly be
established; The Security Council be
restructured and the veto power be
abolished;
An Economic Security Council
be established with democratic
representation of the world's
nations in addition to the G-7;
The World Court of Justice be
strengthened and all members of the
United Nations accept its
jurisdiction;
New and reliable sources of
financing be found;
The establishment of a World
Court on the Environment: an Earth
Charter to complement the UN
Charter; full support for and
strengthening of the United Nations
Environmental Program and full
support of the 'Education For All'
project of several UN agencies;
We urge our religious leaders
to give full support to the
non-governmental organizations,
(NGOs).. ..
This statement was signed by Dr.
Patricia Mische, President of Global
Education Associates; Dr. John Healey,
Director of Fordham University Institute
on Religion and Culture; Dr. Anne
Reissner, Director of Study, Center for
Mission Research and Study, at
Maryknoll.49
Both these sets of recommendations
illustrate how GEA has used its Catholic
Religious Orders Partnership as an
instrument to promote "global systemic
change"; to restructure and strengthen
the UN; and through its "Earth Covenant"
initiative to create worldwide support
for the Earth Charter, all the while
enhancing its own stature at the UN
edifice on the East River.
Inasmuch as Global Education
Associates is a UN accredited NGO, its
influence in that body is substantial.
Mische was one of seven NGO leaders
invited to address the Department of
Public Information/Non-Governmental
Organizations (DPI/NGO) conference at
the United Nations September, 1996. She
recommended strengthening the role of
NGOs in order "to advance a more
effective and democratic United
Nations."50
The GEA Partnership agenda
involving Catholic religious orders as
well as the United States Catholic
Conference (USCC), in association with
the National Religious Partnership for
the Environment (documented previously),
should be matters of grave concern for
all Catholics - laity, clergy and
hierarchy. This Forum Focus
issue highlights one of the significant
factors contributing to the demise of
religious orders in the United States.
It reveals a virus infecting the life
blood of our religious orders, namely,
entanglement in advancing the UN
political agenda.
The Earth Charter For Gaia And The
Cosmos
GEA describes its 1998 Earth
Covenant as a "Citizens' Treaty"; as a
"process" for "building a broad-based
movement for ecological security,
sustainable development and systems of
responsible global governance. . . ."
Putting UN-speak aside, the objective of
this consensus building is to give the
impression of widespread public support
for a UN Earth Charter.
This Earth Charter initiative was
launched in 1994. "Backed by a grant
from the Netherlands government, two
international non-governmental
organizations" spearheaded the "process: the
Earth Council chaired by Maurice Strong,
and Green Cross International headed by
Mikhail Gorbachev." The final step will
lead "to the proclamation of a
binding Earth Charter by January of
the year 2000." Gorbachev's "Green Cross
International, Global Education
Associates and Project Global 2000 are
working in partnership to achieve this
goal" (emphasis added)51
Should the "promoters of the Earth
Charter" succeed, their "notion of
sustainable development would become a
matter of international law. . . . It is
"presented as a holistic concept - the
UN conferences held during the 1990s . .
. have been aimed at building a global
consensus.' " As noted throughout this
documentation, in all these conferences,
"the top priority is accorded to curbing
population growth, since the expansion
of world population is deemed the root
cause of world poverty and the greatest
threat to global security."52
Maurice Strong insists that this
Earth Charter should set out the "basic
principles for the conduct of nations
and of peoples with respect to the
environment and development, to ensure
the future viability and integrity of
the earth as a hospitable home for
humans and other forms of life." As the
Catholic World Report points
out, it is intended to be a "historic
document," a "new code of conduct," a
"New Social Contract" aimed at imposing
new standards on the activities of
governments and even religious
or-ganizations.53
The introductory words of the
Earth Charter (Benchmark Draft of March
18, 1997) read: "Earth is our home and
home to all living beings. Earth itself
is alive. We are part of an evolving
universe"54
There is a noticeable similarity
here to comments made by the English
scientist, James Lovelock, author of the
book. The Ages of Gaia. He told
his audience at the 1988 Global Forum at
Oxford, England: "On Earth she (Gaia) is
the source of everlasting life and is
alive now; she gave birth to humankind
and we are part of her" (Note: See
section titled, "Science and Religion:
an Ecological Alliance" above.)
In like manner, Gorbachev has
stated: "We are part of the Cosmos . . .
Cosmos is my God. Nature is my God. . .
I believe that the 21st century will be
the century of the environment, the
century when all of us will have to find
an answer to how to harmonize relations
between man and the rest of Nature . . .
We are part of Nature. . . "55
And Maurice Strong, addressing the
Rio Earth Summit called attention "to
the declaration of the Sacred Earth"
which had been part of the pre-Summit
ceremonies: "The changes in behavior and
directions called for here must be
rooted in our deepest spiritual, moral
and ethical values" The declaration
states: "We must. . . transform our
attitudes and values, and adopt a
renewed respect for the superior laws of
Divine Nature."56
Francis Cardinal Stafford, while
Archbishop of Denver, Co., writing in
1993 on "The New Age Movement"
specifically mentioned paganism as a
basic quality of this theosophy: New
Agers "find their ideological allies in
the 'Gaia' variant of the ecological
movement. . . . The characteristic
feature of the various expressions of
(this movement)" he notes, "is their
common reversion to the ancient pagan
morality of responsibility to the
cosmos."57
The accuracy of the Archbishop's
analysis is confirmed in the
Gaia Peace Atlas, a radical
socialist New Age publication which
argues, "We need a radical change of
direction - to global self-governance,
decentralized societies and a
partnership between human and Gaian
ecosystems, leading to a peaceful world
that encourages social justice through
sustainable development."58
In his Foreword to this Gaia
Peace Atlas, the then UN
Secretary General Javier Perez de
Cuellar stated: "A consensus has emerged
during the past forty years" that "a
reliable system of international
security, progressive disarmament and
sustainable economic growth are
acknowledged goals of all peoples of the
world" He expressed the "hope that this
fine document will make a significant
contribution to knowledge of these goals
both urgent and achievable."59
The Episcopal Cathedral of St.
John the Divine in Manhattan, during the
tenure of Dean James Parks Morton, is
well-known for its earth-bound
spirituality. Each year it offers a
"Winter Solstice Whole Earth Christmas
Celebration" which "puts the event in
the church, but takes the church out of
the event," as succinctly stated in the
New York Times (Dec. 26, 1992).
He also commissioned a Missa Gaia
(Earth Mass) which is performed each
year for the Feast of St. Francis,
replete with singers, dancers, pets
galore and as a high point, an elephant,
camel and llama are paraded up the
center aisle for a blessing. Widely
known as the "green dean" Morton,
founder of the National Religious
Partnership for the Environment, retired
in January, 1997, but remains active in
ecological matters.
New Age Spirituality At Baca Grande
Maurice Strong, a shrewd
millionaire capitalist "with a passion
for socialist one-world causes, is a
radical environmentalist and New Age
devotee."60 As the result of
a business deal. Strong acquired
ownership of a "200,000 acre ranch
called Baca Grande in Colorado. Now a
'New Age' center run by his wife Hanne"
it attracts "Zen and Tibetan Buddhist
monks, a breakaway order of Carmelite
nuns and followers of a Hindu guru. . .
"61
Both the New Age Aspen Institute
and the Lindisfarne Association are part
of the Baca Grande spiritual center
located in this San Luis Valley. Maurice
Strong, the Director of Finance of the
Lindisfarne Association, is on its Board
of Directors as was James P. Morton,
Dean of the Cathedral of St. John the
Divine. Lindisfarne, it should be noted,
is patterned after New Age Findhorn in
Scotland.
Strong and his wife see "the Baca
serving as a model for the way the world
should be - and they say - must
be - if humankind is to survive."62
Hanne Strong "supports her husband's
work on the Earth Charter by promoting
'spiritually based environmental
education.'" She founded the Wisdom
Keepers which convened for the first
time at the Rio conference, then again
at the UN Istanbul Habitat II conference
in 1996.
The Earth Charter, Hanne Strong
maintains, must "come to terms with the
very concrete question of how we can
develop the basis for sustainable life
on earth." The Earth Charter therefore,
must "articulate a new relationship
between people and the earth."63
The exemplary analysis in the
Catholic World Report discloses
that Hanne Strong's Wisdom Keepers
authored the Declaration of Sacred
Earth. A key sentence in that
declaration "explains that the global
crisis 'transcends all national,
religious, cultural, social, political,
and economic boundaries.'" The
Catholic World Report observes:
"If the crisis transcends religious
boundaries, it follows that religion
must bow before the solution to the
crisis. If necessary, religions must
sacrifice their own particular
principles."64 (emphasis
added)
In Maurice Strong's April 8, 1997
speech introducing the Earth Charter to
the UN, he said: "There is a need to
address the fundamental ethical
imperatives of sustainable development."
And what are these ethical imperatives?
Strong "spoke of 'ethics of
participation'. . . and 'ethics of
inclusion'. . . in order to 'foster a
healthy balance between quality of life
and quality of environment - because
development must henceforth be in
balance with 'Mother Earth.' It will
'develop a sense of belonging to the
universe."'65 Thus the Earth
Charter and sustainable development are
part of the same package, which it
should be repeated includes population
control. The tenets of the New Age
Movement are threaded throughout this
documentation.
The proposed Earth Charter melds
neatly with the 1980 UN report. The
New International Economic Order: A
Spiritual Imperative which clearly
was influenced by
Alice Bailey. The 1980 report states
". . . Today a new understanding of
spirituality is emerging which
recognizes that all efforts to uplift
humanity are spiritual in nature. Alice
Bailey said, 'That is spiritual which
lies beyond the point of present
achievement'; . . . Given this new
understanding of spirituality, the work
of the United Nations can be seen within
the entire evolutionary unfolding of
humanity. The work of the UN is indeed
spiritual and holds profound import for
the future of civilization."66
Alice Bailey, a theosophist along
with her husband Foster, established
much of what is now known as the New Age
Movement. Originally, they founded the
Lucifer Publishing Company but shortly
thereafter, discretion dictated the name
change to Lucis Trust (cf. Forum
Focus, Oct. 1991 issue The New
Age Movement). It has served as a
catalyst for a number of New Age
organizations including World Goodwill.
One of Goodwill's stated objectives is
"to support the work of the United
Nations and its Specialized Agencies as
the best hope of a united and peaceful
world"; another is "to make available
up-to-date information on constructive
current conditions in the main areas of
human life through publication of a
quarterly newsletter." It also publishes
Occasional World Goodwill Papers.
As an accredited UN
non-governmental Organization (NGO) it
maintains relations with a wide range of
national and international NGOs. The
World Good' will Newsletter which
highlights UN addresses also featured
excerpts from Alice Bailey's writings. A
few examples will suffice: A 1988
Newsletter on Global Survival held
at Oxford to which World Goodwill was a
media guest featured James Lovelock
speaking on "Gaia and the Reintegration
of Religion and Science." In addition.
Dean James P. Morton was interviewed
about the Oxford conference in regard to
ways in which "parliamentary and
spiritual leaders" could work together
"for the salvation of the planet."
A 1989 Occasional Paper
presented "A Cosmo-logical Vision of the
Future" an address given by Robert
Muller, who had served in the UN
bureaucracy for 38 years and was an
Assistant Secretary-General from 1982 to
1985. He now heads the United Nations
University in Costa Rica. In his remarks
he mentioned the Gaia hypothesis. ". . .
We are part of a living planetary
organization . . . When we die we return
to the Earth . . . We are Earth alive .
. . All over the world a kind of Earth
democracy is taking shape" He mentioned
Fr. Thomas Berry's book. The
Universe Story, and the need for
a "world of cosmic spirituality."
A 1991 Occasional Paper
contained the address given at
Cambridge, England, by Gro Harlem
Brundtland on "Environmental Challenges
of the 1990's: Our Responsibilities
Toward Future Generations" which echoed
the UN book. Our Common
Future, the report of the
commission she had chaired. (Note: On
Jan. 27 of this year, Gro Harlem
Brundtland was appointed chairman of the
UN World Health Organization which
places her in a key position for the
implementation of sustainable
development on a worldwide basis.)
World Goodwill interviewed Maurice
Strong for another 1991 Newsletter
which concentrated on the Rio Summit
conference. He repeated his position
that ". . . the earth is incapable of
supporting a global population of
approximately twice today's numbers that
demographers predict . . . Sustainable
development implies a balance between
our personal aspirations and a
consideration of the ecosystem on which
our survival depends."
A 1995 Newsletter under
the caption "Recommended Reading"
mentions a 1995 book co-authored by
Patricia Mische titled. The United
Nations In An Interdependent World.
This report from a six day symposium
organized by GEA with the support of 15
UN agencies and 10 NGOs reveals where
GEA's interest really is.
A 1996 Newsletter on
Universal Ethics includes "Reflections"
by Mikhail Gorbachev who comments on
conditions for preserving life on Earth:
"Honouring diversity and honouring the
Earth create the basis for genuine
unity."
Patricia Mische states: "We do not
need a return to the external facades of
religiosity. But we do need to resume
the spiritual journey . . . with new,
global parameters" All these UN
supporters speak with the same voice -
the voice of theosophy that rejects
Christianity. Patricia Mische's earlier
Catholicism is alluded to in the
September-December, 1997, issue of GEA's
Breakthrough News in regard to
the death of Bishop Joseph Francis,
auxiliary of Newark, NJ, who had
confirmed her three daughters in his
private chapel.
An example of the unity of purpose
that pervades much of this documentation
is the announcement GEA will present the
1998 Jerry Mische Global Service Award
to Thomas Berry.
The United
Nations Association of the US (UNA-USA),
"the premier pro-UN lobby group in
America claims . .. a 135 member Council
of Organizations and operates in New
York and Washington, D.C. . . . and is
now 'creating a powerful national
constituency for an even better UN/ Some
of the 135 member groups include the
American Humanist Association, Planned
Parenthood Federation and the U.S.
Catholic Conference."67
The willingness of the USCC (the
civil arm of the Bishops' Conference) to
be "politically correct," as mentioned
previously in regard to its membership
in the National Religious Partnership
for the Environment, and its incredible
endorsement of "sustainable development"
is indicative of a lack of scholarship.
John Paul II's Address To Un General
Assembly
In contrast, our Holy Father's
message of October, 1995, delivered to
the United Nations General Assembly
imparts profound wisdom and
encouragement for American Catholics. He
stated, "The United Nations Organization
needs to rise more and more above the
cold status of an administrative
institute and become a moral center
where all the nations of the world . . .
develop a shared awareness of being, as
it were, a 'family of nations'" (n. 14).
"The politics of nations, with
which your organization is principally
concerned, can never ignore the
transcendent spiritual dimension of the
human experience and could never ignore
it without banning the cause of man and
the cause of human freedom" (n. 16).
"We must overcome our fear of the
future. . . . The answer to that fear is
neither coercion nor repression, nor the
imposing of one social 'model' on the
entire world. The answer to that fear .
. . is the common effort to build the
civilization of love. . ." (n. 18).68
George Weigel writing in
Crisis magazine December, 1995,
noted: "The Holy Father knows full well
that the UN bureaucracy and its
functional agencies . . . are shot
through with corruption. Then there was
the attempt by the international
lifestyle Left, aided and abetted by the
UN bureaucracy, to highjack the 1994 UN
population conference at Cairo, the 1995
Copenhagen 'Social Summit,' and the
Beijing world conference on women . . .
the Pope knew to whom he was talking at
Turtle Bay. And as one who believes that
his own peacemaking efforts in the
Balkans have, at times, been obstructed
by the UN, John Paul knows all about the
organization's deficiencies in
fulfilling its charter's basic mandate.
. . ."
"Thus the Pope's call to the UN to
develop a shared awareness of being . .
. a 'family of nations' should be taken
as a polite demur on the UN's grandiose
plans to turn the UN into a world
government. . . ."69
His stirring words to Catholics of
America are a beacon and a challenge in
countering the UN concept of
"sustainable development" that has
penetrated our Church and society:
"Always be convincing witnesses to
the truth. Stir into a flame the gift of
God . . . Light your nation - Light the
world - with the power of that flame.
Amen"70
- Laurene Conner

For
those
who may
have
dismissed
the
notion
of a UN
Agenda
for a
New
World
Religion
used to
usher in
sweeping
anti-constitutional
environmental
agreements,
I offer
the
following.
“The
real
goal
of
the
Earth
Charter
is
that
it
will
in
fact
become
like
the
Ten
Commandments.”
“Do
not
do
unto
the
environment
of
others
what
you
do
not
want
done
to
your
own
environment....My
hope
is
that
this
charter
will
be a
kind
of
Ten
Commandments,
a
'Sermon
on
the
Mount',
that
provides
a
guide
for
human
behavior
toward
the
environment
in
the
next
century.”
On
September
the 9th,
2001 a
celebration
of the
Earth
Charter
was held
at
Shelburne
Farms
Vermont
for the
unveiling
of the
Earth
Charter's
final
resting
place.
This
"Ark of
Hope"
will be
presented
to the
United
Nations
along
with its
contents
in June
of 2002.
It is
hoped
that the
United
Nations
will
endorse
the
Earth
Charter
document
on this
occasion;
the
tenth
anniversary
of the
UNCED
Earth
Summit
in Rio.
Placed
within
the Ark,
along
with the
Earth
Charter,
were
various
items
called
"Temenos
Books"
and
"Temenos
Earth
Masks."
Temenos
is a
concept
adopted
by Carl
Jung to
denote a
magic
circle,
a sacred
space
where
special
rules
and
energies
apply.
Some of
the
Temenos
Books
were
created
within
this
magic
circle
by
children,
who
filled
them
with
visual
affirmations
for
Mother
Earth.
Fashioned
with the
"earth
elements",
the
Temenos
Earth
Masks
were
also
worn and
created
by
children.
In
1992
Maurice
Strong
was the
Secretary
General
of the
historic
United
Nations
(UNCED)
Earth
conference
in Rio.
This
gathering
featured
an
international
cast of
powerful
figures
in the
environmental
movement,
government,
business,
and
entertainment.
Maurice
Strong's
wife
Hannah,
was
involved
in the
NGO
alternative
meeting
at the
Summit
called
Global
Forum
'92. The
Dalai
Lama
opened
the
meeting
and,
according
to
author
Gary
Kah, to
ensure
the
success
of the
forum,
Hanne
Strong
held a
three-week
vigil
with
Wisdomkeepers,
a group
of
"global
transformationalists."
Through
round-the-clock
sacred
fire,
drumbeat,
and
meditation,
the
group
helped
hold the
"energy
pattern"
for the
duration
of the
summit.
It
was
hoped
that an
Earth
Charter
would be
the
result
of this
event.
This was
not the
case,
however
an
international
agreement
was
adopted
–
Agenda
21 –
which
laid
down the
international
"sustainable
development"
necessary
to form
a future
Earth
Charter
agreement.
Maurice
Strong
hinted
at the
overtly
pagan
agenda
proposed
for a
future
Earth
Charter,
when in
his
opening
address
to the
Rio
Conference
delegates
he said,
"It
is the
responsibility
of each
human
being
today to
choose
between
the
force of
darkness
and the
force of
light."
[note:
Alice
Bailey,
and
Blavatsky
before
her,
used
these
terms
often.
Their
writings
state
that the
'force
of
darkness'
are
those
who
adhere
to the
'out-dated'
Judeo-Christian
faith;
those
who
continue
along
their
'separative'
paths of
the one
true
God. The
'force
of
light'
(Lucifer),
in their
view, is
the
inclusive
new age
doctrine
of a
pagan
pantheistic
New
World
Religion.
In the
New Age
of
Aquarius
there
will be
no room
for the
'force
of
darkness'
and
'separativeness'.]
"We
must
therefore
transform
our
attitudes
and
adopt a
renewed
respect
for the
SUPERIOR
LAWS OF
DIVINE
NATURE,"
Strong
finished
with
unanimous
applause
from the
crowd.
Despite
the
disappointing
setback
of no
official
agreement
toward a
"peoples
Earth
Charter",
Maurice
Strong
forged
ahead,
with
Rockefeller
backing,
to form
his
Earth
Council
organization
for the
express
purpose
of
helping
governments
implement
UNCED's
sustainable
development
which
Agenda
21 had
outlined.
Agenda
21 was
perhaps
the
biggest
step
taken to
facilitate
any
future
"enforcement"
of a
patently
pagan
Earth
Charter.
According
to
Strong
"the
Charter
will
stand on
it's
own. It
will be
in
effect,
to use
an
Anglo-Saxon
term,
the
Magna
Carta of
the
people
around
the
Earth.
But, it
will
also, we
hope,
lead to
action
by the
governments
through
the
United
Nations."
ARK
OF OUR
DEMISE?
“Cosmos
is
my
God.
Nature
is
my
God.”
—Mikhail Gorbachev, on the PBS Charlie Rose Show, Oct. 23, 1996
“A
post-Christian
belief
system
is
taking
over
–
one
that
sees
the
earth
as a
living
being
mythologically,
as
Gaia,
Earth
Mother
–
with
mankind
as
her
consciousness...
Such
worship
of
the
universe
is
properly
called
cosmolatry.”
Inside
this '
Ark of
Hope'
the
Earth
Charter
is
handwritten
on
papyrus
paper,
and
ready
for
presentation
to the
United
Nations;
the Ark
along
with
it's
Gaia
"Ten
Commandments"
– a new
covenant
to which
every
nation
must
adhere.
Each
panel
represents
one of
the five
traditional
elements
of pagan
worship:
Water,
Fire,
Earth,
Air and
Spirit.
According
to the
Ark of
Hope
website,
the
Ark's
dimensions
are 49"
X 32" X
32" and
it was
crafted
out of a
single
Sycamore
plank.
The
obvious
meaning
behind
the Ark
of Hope
is to
mock
God's
own Ten
Commandments
and the
Ark of
the
Covenant.
In this
context
the
choice
of
Sycamore
wood for
the Ark
of
Hope's
construction
is a
revealing
one. The
Sycamore
tree was
sacred
to most
all the
pagan
religions
in the
middle
east
during
biblical
times,
and in
Egypt
especially:
To the
Egyptians
the
Sycamore
was a
healing
tree;
The tomb
of
Osiris
was
built in
Sycamore
wood,
and
shaded
by
Sycamore
trees;
Burial
in
Sycamore
coffins
was a
symbolic
return
into the
womb of
the
mother
goddess;
The
deceased
hoped to
live in
the
Sycamore
tree. In
the book
of the
dead
there
are
examples
of a
letter
the
deceased
would
write to
the
Goddess
of the
Tree,
containing
a prayer
so that
she
would
provide
water
and air.
1
The New
Age and
the
Radical-Left
'Enlightenment'
The "For
Love of
Earth"
day-long
celebrations
at
Shelburne
Farms
Vermont
began
with an
early
morning
pilgrimage
during
which
2000 or
so
participants,
led by
Satish
Kumar,
walked
to the
"great
barn"
where
they
were
greeted
by the
sounds
of the
"Sun
Song"
played
by
musician
Paul
Winter.
The
Pagan
festivities
continued
with the
words of
Dr. Jane
Goodall,
Satish
Kumar
and
organizer
Dr.
Steven
C.
Rockefeller.
The
Earth
worshippers
were
treated
to
dance,
music
and
paintings
of
several
Vermont
artists,
after
which
they
joined
hands
and
offered
an
"Earth
prayer"
of
"reverence"
and
"commitment"
to
Mother
Earth
and the
"Ark of
Hope".
Satish
Kumar,
who led
the
early
morning
pilgrimage
at
Shelburne
Farms,
is an
influencial
advocate
of Gaia.
Kumar
says
that
"contemporary
thinkers
of the
green
movement
are
collectively
developing
an
ecological
world-view."
The
Earth
Charter
is the
green
movement's
crowning
achievement
toward
this
holistic
world-view,
and the
practical
means by
which
all of
us will
soon be
held
accountable
to
"Divine
Nature".
According
to
Satish
Kumar,2
this
pagan
view has
five
ingredients:
Gaia
(James
Lovelock),
Deep
Ecology
(Arne
Naess),
Permaculture
(Bill
Mollison),
Bioregionalism
(Gary
Snyder
et
al.),
and
Creation
Spirituality
(Matthew
Fox).
"Creation
Spirituality"
is what
had,
undoubtedly,
taken
place at
the
Shelburne
Farms
Earth
Charter
celebrations.
In the
words of
Steven
W.
Mosher,
president
of
Population
Research
Institute,
"Gaia is
the New
Age term
for
Mother
Earth.
The New
Age
believers
hold
that the
earth is
a
sentient
super-being,
kind of
goddess,
deserving
of
worship
and,
some
say,
human
sacrifice.
Compared
to Gaia
worship,
the
simple
animism
of
primitive
cultures
is
wholesome."
Musician
Paul
Winter
also has
deep
roots
within
the
green
movement
and
"creation
spirituality."
He has
performed
concerts
at the
Cathedral
St. John
the
Divine
in New
York
City, on
the
solstice
and
equinox,
for well
over
twenty
years.
These
pagan
festivals,
in a
supposedly
christian
church
nonetheless,
are
generously
sponsored
by the
Rockefeller
Foundation
and a
new age
organization
called
the
Lindisfarne
Institute
– the
latter
of which
has its
headquarters
in the
Cathedral.
Maurice
Strong
is also
a member
of
Lindisfarne
(publishers
of
G-A-I-A,
a way of
knowing)
along
with
Gaia
theory
biologist
James
Lovelock,
and
admitted
Luciferian
David
Spangler,
among
others.
Paul
Winters'
most
recent
concert
at St.
John the
Divine
was for
the
annual
Earth
Mass, on
7
October.3
The fact
that
this
annual
October
7th
Earth
Mass
coincides
with the
hindu
Holy Day
of
Dassehra
(worship
of the
Great
Divine
Mother)
cannot
be a
coincidence.
Winter
and
bandmates
play a
tune
called
Missa
Gaia as
part of
the
Feast of
St.
Francis.
The Pope
once
attended
the
Feast of
St.
Francis
at St.
John the
Divine
in 1986.
Stressing
the
unity of
all the
world's
religions,
John
Paul II
happily
shared
the
platform
with a
Tibetan
Lama, a
Hindu
swami, a
Native
American
medicine
man, and
a Maori
high
priest.
The
New
American
Insider
Report
of
January
23, 1995
4
writes
that the
historic
Episcopal
Cathedral
of Saint
John the
Divine
"has
long
been a
center
of New
Age and
radical-left
'enlightenment'
and
high-brow
Establishment
'culture'."
Author
Gary Kah
reports,
in his
well-documented
book
The New
World
Religion,
that the
Cathedral
of St.
John the
Divine
displays
"a
female
Christ
on the
cross,
complete
with
shapely
hips and
full
breasts."
Also in
the same
issue of
The
New
American
there is
a list
of
donors
to the
Cathedral:
Mr. and
Ms.
Steven
Rockefeller
is among
them,
along
with Mr.
Robert
de
Rothschild;
David
Rockefeller
Jr.;
Mrs.
Mary C.

such as

even,
mysteriously,
the

(FEMA),
among
others.
Earth
Charter
Commission
Co-Chairs
The
Earth
Charter
Initiative
was
launched
in 1994
by
Maurice
Strong,
his
newly
formed
Earth
Council
and
Mikhail
Gorbachev,
acting
in his
capacity
as
president
of Green
Cross
International.
In 1997,
the
Earth
Council
and
Green
Cross
International
formed
an Earth
Charter
Commission
to give
oversight
to the
process.
Sri
Chinmoy
Indian
Mystic,
and
outspoken
advocate
of
the
United
Nations'
"spiritual
mission."
The
U.N.
Meditation
Room
is
built
in
the
shape
of a
truncated
pyramid.
In
the
center
is
an
altar
made
out
of
magnetite,
the
largest
natural
piece
of
magnetite
ever
mined.
For
meditation
purposes
it
is
probably
the
most
ideal
spot
on
the
planet,
since
the
magnetite
altar
has
its
foundation
straight
down,
built
into
the
bedrock
of
the
land
below;
tapping
into
the
energies
of
the
earth
itself.
The
mysterious
mural
also
helps
the
worshippers
tune

The
Global
Transformational
Movement
A final
version
of the
Earth
Charter
was
issued
by the
Earth
Charter
Commission
in March
2000.
The
Earth
Charter
"was
drafted
in
coordination
with a
hard law
treaty
that is
designed
to
provide
an
integrated
legal
framework
for all
environment
development
law and
policy."
This
hard law
treaty
is
called
the
International
Covenant
on
Environment
and
Development
and is
being
prepared
by the
Commission
on
Environmental
Law at
the
International
Union
for the
Conservation
of
Nature
(IUCN),
a
behemoth
agency
which
oversees
700+
governmental
agencies
worldwide.
The
Earth
Charter,
consisting
of 16
principles,
has its
roots in
the
values
of the
Transformational
Movement.
Jan
Roberts,
president
of the
Institute
for
Ethics
and
Meaning
describes
this
Transformational
Movement
as a
paradigm
shift
from
individualism,
self-interest
and
separativeness,
to
unity,
wholeness
and
community.
Steven
C.
Rockefeller
was the
prime
candidate
for the
leadership
role as
co-chair
of the
Earth
Charter
Steering
Committee,
the
Drafting
Committee
and
co-chair
of the
final
Earth
Charter
Commission.
Besides
being a
professor
of
Religion
and
Ethics
at
Middlebury
College,
expounding
the
virtues
of
"creation-centered
theology,"
in his
capacity
as
trustee
of the
Rockefeller
Brothers
Fund,
his
family's
resources
ensured
the
success
of the
project.
Principles
The four
pillars
and
sixteen
principles
of the
Earth
Charter
are:
I.
Respect
and Care
for the
Community
of Life
1.
Respect
Earth
and
life
in
all
its
diversity.
2.
Care
for
the
community
of
life
with
understanding,
compassion
and
love.
3.
Build
democratic
societies
that
are
just,
participatory,
sustainable
and
peaceful.
4.
Secure
Earth's
bounty
and
beauty
for
present
and
future
generations.
II.
Ecological
Integrity
5.
Protect
and
restore
the
integrity
of
Earth's
ecological
systems,
with
special
concern
for
biological
diversity
and
the
natural
processes
that
sustain
life.
6.
Prevent
harm
as
the
best
method
of
environmental
protection
and,
when
knowledge
is
limited,
apply
a
precautionary
approach.
7.
Adopt
patterns
of
production,
consumption
and
reproduction
that
safeguard
Earth's
regenerative
capacities,
human
rights
and
community
well-being.
8.
Advance
the
study
of
ecological
sustainability
and
promote
the
open
exchange
and
wide
application
of
the
knowledge
acquired.
III.
Social
and
Economic
Justice
9.
Eradicate
poverty
as
an
ethical,
social
and
environmental
imperative.
10.
Ensure
that
economic
activities
and
institutions
at
all
levels
promote
human
development
in
an
equitable
and
sustainable
manner.
11.
Affirm
gender
equality
and
equity
as
prerequisites
to
sustainable
development
and
ensure
universal
access
to
education,
health
care
and
economic
opportunity.
12.
Uphold
the
right
of
all,
without
discrimination,
to a
natural
and
social
environment
supportive
of
human
dignity,
bodily
health
and
spiritual
well-being,
with
special
attention
to
the
rights
of
indigenous
peoples
and
minorities.
IV.
Democracy,
Nonviolence,
and
Peace
13.
Strengthen
democratic
institutions
at
all
levels,
and
provide
transparency
and
accountability
in
governance,
inclusive
participation
in
decision-making,
and
access
to
justice.
14.
Integrate
into
formal
education
and
lifelong
learning
the
knowledge,
values
and
skills
needed
for
a
sustainable
way
of
life.
15.
Treat
all
living
beings
with
respect
and
consideration.
16.
Promote
a
culture
of
tolerance,
nonviolence
and
peace.
It's
clear
that the
global
transformationalists
are
promoting
the
Earth
Charter
as the
"new
scripture."
At the
presentation
of the
Ark, and
its "new
gospel"
contents,
we can
expect
that it
will be
endorsed
by the
U.N. The
halls of
the
United
Nations
has long
been a
haven
for New
Age
one-world
religion
spirituality.
Former
Secretary-Generals
like Dag
Hammarskjold
(founder
of the
U.N.
Meditation
Room), U
Thant
and
former
Assistant
Secretary-General
Robert
Muller
have
long
been
outspoken
advocates
of a new
pantheistic
global
spirituality,
using
the U.N.
as a
vehicle
to
spread
their
doctrine.
The
United
Nations
even has
their
own
in-house
prophet,
Sri
Chinmoy.
This 70
year-old
indian
mystic
is the
official
Spiritual
Advisor
to the
United
Nations.
For the
past 23
years he
has
offered
prayer
and
meditation
meetings
for
anyone
to
attend
every
Tuesday
and
Friday
at the
U.N.
5
Sri
Chinmoy
claims
to have
been
Thomas
Jefferson
in a
previous
life,
and he
also
claims
to be
the
Spiritual
Brother
to Jesus
Christ.
6
Chinmoy's
disciples
claim
he's one
of a
handful
of fully
enlightened
beings
on the
planet.
Some
disciples
go so
far as
to claim
he is an
avatar,
a living
God.
They
meditate
to a
print of
his
face.
Perhaps
the
final
resting
place
for the
"Ark of
Hope"
will be
in the
United
Nation's
Holy-of-Holies,
the U.N.
meditation
room.
"We have
the UN
Meditation
Room,
which is
visited
by
hundreds
of
thousands
of
visitors
a year,"
Robert
Muller
explains
in his
book
Genesis:
Shaping
a Global
Spirituality.
"We have
also a
UN
Meditation
Group
led by
an
Indian
Mystic.
One
could
tell
several
moving
stories
of the
spiritual
transformation
the UN
has
caused,
to the
point
that
this
little
speck on
earth is
becoming
a holy
ground."
(quoted
in
The New
World
Religion,
by Gary
Kah, p.
310)
To
Sri
Chinmoy
and
Robert
Muller,
world
peace
will
ultimately
depend
"on
divine
and
cosmic
government"
and an
"alliance
between
all
major
religions
and the
U.N."
Muller
has gone
so far
as to
call the
U.N. "the
body of
Christ."
The
United
Nations
"will be
the last
word in
human
perfection,"
Sri
Chinmoy
proclaims,
it will
"stand
as the
pinnacle
of
divine
enlightenment."
7
The
Earth
Charter
stresses
that man
is his
own
saviour.
By
saving
"mother
earth"
we will
once
again
return
to an
idyllic
Garden
of Eden.
But
instead
of
worshipping
the
Creator,
the New
Age
Aquarian
conspirators
wish to
plunge
us
headlong
into a
creation-worship
new
world
religion.
"Little
by
little a
planetary
prayer
book is
thus
being
composed
by an
increasingly
united
humanity
seeking
its
oneness,"
Robert
Muller
preaches.
"Once
again,
but this
time on
a
universal
scale,
humankind
is
seeking
no less
than its
reunion
with
'divine,'
its
transcendence
into
higher
forms of
life.
Hindus
call our
earth
Brahma,
or God,
for they
rightly
see no
difference
between
our
earth
and the
divine.
This
ancient
simple
truth is
slowly
dawning
again
upon
humanity,
as we
are
about to
enter
our
cosmic
age and
become
what we
were
always
meant to
be: the
planet
of God."
“Professing
themselves
to
be
wise,
they
became
fools.
And
changed
the
glory
of
the
uncorruptible
God
into
an
image
made
like
corruptible
man,
and
to
birds,
and
fourfooted
beasts,
and
creeping
things.
Wherefore
God
also
gave
them
up
to
uncleanness,
through
the
lusts
of
their
own
hearts,
to
dishonour
their
own
bodies
between
themselves:
Who
changed
the
truth
of
God
into
a
lie,
and
worshipped
and
served
the
creature
more
than
the
Creator,
who
is
blessed
forever.
Amen.”
Romans 1:22-25 (KJV)

“The
Earth
Charter:
Building
a Global
Culture
of
Peace”
Steven
C.
Rockefeller
The
Earth
Charter
Community
Summits
Tampa,
Florida,
September
29, 2001
This is
a good
time for
interfaith
dialogue
involving
Christians,
Jews and
Muslims
and
members
of other
religious
traditions
as well.
The
Earth
Charter
can be
used as
a
catalyst
for
exploring
common
ethical
values
in these
exchanges.
A
year
from
now, the
United
Nations
will
convene
the
World
Summit
on
Sustainable
Development,
and our
government
representatives
should
know
that we
want the
United
States
to play
a
creative
leadership
role at
this
critical
world
meeting.
Thousands
of
local,
national,
regional,
and
international
organizations
have now
endorsed
the
Earth
Charter.
The most
recent
endorsement
has come
from the
Parliament
of the
World’s
Religions.
Invite
your
organization
to
consider
endorsing
the
Earth
Charter,
if you
have not
already
done so.
The more
support
we have
from
civil
society
and
local
government,
the
greater
the
chance
of
endorsement
by the
United
Nations
General
Assembly
in 2002.
In
my home
state of
Vermont,
the
Earth
Charter
is being
transported
across
the
state
from
town to
town in
a
beautiful,
handcrafted
Ark of
Hope by
people
walking
in a
spirit
of
peace.
In
addition
to the
Earth
charter,
the Ark
of Hope
contains
the
prayers
and
poems of
many
Vermonters.
The
global
challenges
before
us are
great,
but if
we unite
behind
the kind
of
vision
affirmed
in the
Earth
Charter,
there
are
grounds
for
hope........
With
reverence
for the
mystery
of being
and with
reverence
for
life,
let us
resolve
here
today to
commit
ourselves
anew to
this
great
work.
In
response
to the
Sept.
11th
attacks,
the
Vermont
organizers
carried
the Ark
to New
York.
The Ark
of Hope
was
displayed
at the
United
Nations
from
January
24th
through
February
19th.
NEW DELHI - Remember
those warnings about how
unbridled population growth
was a bomb ticking away?
Well, the dire
scenario did not
materialise. The current
world population of 6.4
billion scarcely burdens the
earth's carrying capacity;
technological advances
ensure that even with the
world adding 100 million
people each year,
'overpopulation' isn't going
to result in Malthusian
famines and related
catastrophes.
But try telling this
to the United Nations and
its clueless financial
supporters in the Nordic
countries - and elsewhere in
Europe - who continue
hammering on the theme. The
UN and the Nordics, however
unintentionally, have
assisted in generating one
of the biggest scams to hit
the international community,
one that has cost taxpayers
billions of dollars to
sustain bureaucracies and
non- governmental
organisations (NGOs)
supposedly dedicated to
population control and
reproductive health.
Between UN
expenditures and those of
individual governments and
NGOs, some US$11 billion
(S$19 billion) is spent each
year on population-related
matters. That is more than a
fourth of what all 135
countries of the Third World
receive annually in foreign
aid, and almost a tenth of
what they get each year in
foreign direct investment
(FDI) and foreign
institutional investment
(FII) in their equity
markets. And the great
population scam is all set
to enter a new stage.
Starting today,
thousands of politicians,
diplomats and academicians
will gather in London's
Queen Elizabeth II
Convention Hall for a
three-day conference to
lament the world's allegedly
rapid population growth.
They are flying first class
or business class, they are
being put up in luxurious
lodgings, they are being
feted at tony restaurants -
and international taxpayers
are footing the bill.
Without doubt, the
participants will authorise
the creation of yet another
mechanism for lucrative jobs
for favoured Third Worlders
to attend to the twin
'problems' of population and
development.
The en vogue
nomenclature is no longer
'population control'; many
African and Asian countries
objected to the phrase on
the grounds that it
suggested neo-colonialism.
Today's favoured
phrase is 'reproductive
health'. It was popularised
at the UN's population
conference in Cairo in 1994;
the London meeting marks the
10th anniversary of the
Cairo talk fest.
And what does
'reproductive health' mean?
Anything you wish. Women's
sexual system; cures for
male impotency; the Aids
crisis; sex education for
teenagers; the global mantra
of 'safe sex'.
The UN and its NGO
allies - such as the
London-based International
Planned Parenthood
Federation (IPPF) and the
Washington-based Population
Action International (PAI) -
have now cleverly linked the
question of reproductive
health to that of
sustainable economic
development.
The argument, stripped
to its bare essentials, is:
A poor nation cannot
progress unless its
population size is
commensurate with the
country's ability to provide
adequate education,
employment and municipal
services.
The solution?
Distribution of more condoms
and the pill; sex education
at schools; better public
awareness of infectious
sexual malignancies.
The new nomenclature
is 'social development',
which incorporates both
reproductive health and
sustainable economic growth.
And who should be
entrusted with this weighty
task? Agencies such as the
UN Fund for Population
(UNFPA); the IPPF; the PAI;
and, of course, bilateral
agencies in the Nordic
countries.
For them all, the
central villain du jour is
the Bush administration,
which has withheld financial
support to the UNFPA and the
IPPF on the grounds that
they, tacitly at least,
condone abortion in poor
countries - however
vigorously these
organisations deny the
charge.
At the London
conference, there will be
calls to create an
international super-agency
to coordinate global efforts
concerning social
development. There's plenty
of money available for this
new bureaucracy; the
Nordics, the Dutch and the
Japanese have informally
pledged millions of dollars.
Indonesia, Bangladesh,
Egypt and the Philippines
may chip in. Even
conservative Saudi Arabia -
whose citizen, Mrs Thoraya
Obaid, heads the UNFPA - is
likely to cough up cash.
Is it really necessary
to create yet another
bureaucracy? My own
experience of more than
three decades in covering
population and development
issues suggests that Third
World countries don't need
the altruism of foreign
bodies and their highly
compensated consultants.
It's culturally
insulting - and historically
erroneous - to say that poor
people everywhere will keep
producing children because
of unrestrained libidos.
Four critical elements
are necessary to accelerate
sustainable development in
poor nations:
The mobilisation of
domestic resources by the
private sector, such as what
India and some other Third
World countries are doing
successfully; the inflow of
more FDI for strengthening
infrastructure and expanding
manufacturing and
agro-business; more foreign
and local investment in
securities markets; and the
widening of education,
particularly of female
children.
Anthropology suggests
that people will always
respond positively to
economic and educational
opportunities - and adjust
family size accordingly. Few
parents wish to have
children whom they cannot
feed.
For three decades I
have known the leading
dramatis personae of the
population and development
business. Some of them
became friends. But, in the
end, many of them turned out
to be frauds, however
clever, however charming.
For them, social
development has meant
self-aggrandisement. This
international class of
povertycrats, regrettably,
has only a promising future
to look forward to.

Unfortunately,
despite
the
government's
responsibility
to
protect
citizen's
rights,
it is
blatantly
obvious
that the
government
is
following
an
alternative,
deliberately
destructive
agenda
including:
rural
cleansing
of the
resource-producing
population,
economic
destabilization,
runaway
inflation,
unrestrained
immigration,
illegal
surveillance,
the NAU,
deteriorating
infrastructure,
ethnic
disparity,
de-population
through
war,
disease,
toxicity,
and
chemtrails;
selective
response
to
"natural"
disasters,
destruction
of the
middle
class,
seizure
of
private
property
and
obliteration
of
God-given
liberties
- all at
the
hands of
an elite
ruling
class -
crony
monopoly
capitalists
and war
profiteers,
intent
on
stealing
and
controlling
the
earth's
resources,
a
contrived
diminishing
food
supply
and the
surviving
useless
eaters,
still
obedient
and
moderately
productive.
What
happened
to that
illusive
balance
of
power?
At
the
president's
discretion,
along
with
those
covert
councils
who
supervise
him, and
without
congressional
or
constitutional
oversight,
fifteen
Executive
Branch
Secretaries
control
all
federal
bureaucracies
which
exert
dictatorial
power
over
every
aspect
of our
lives.
These
agencies
and
their
many
sub-agencies
facilitate
U.N.
programs
including
Agenda
21,
developed
during
the
Conference
on
Environment
and
Development
(UNCED)
in Rio
de
Janeiro,
June
3-14,
1992.
These
regulatory,
metastasized
Departments
are:
Agriculture
(1889),
Commerce
(1903),
Defense
(1947),
Education
(1979),
Energy
(1977),
Health
and
Human
Services
(1953),
Homeland
Security
(November
25,
2002,
absorbed
FEMA in
2003
which
was
created
by
Presidential
Order on
April 1,
1979),
Housing
and
Urban
Development
(1965),
Interior
(1849),
Labor
(1913),
State
(1789),
Transportation
(1967),
Treasury
(1789),
and
Veterans
Affairs
(1988),
and the
Attorney
General
(1789).1
Significantly,
under
the
Bilderberg-approved
George
W. Bush,
cabinet-level
status
was
granted
to the
Administrator
of the
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(EPA,
created
December
2, 1970)
and to
the U.S.
Trade
Representative
(1962).2
In
addition
to power
over our
children
through
education,
price of
gas
through
manipulation
of
energy,
etc.,
this
allows a
sitting
president
to
bypass
Congress
regarding
anything
and
everything
that has
to do
with the
environment
- a
veritable
Pandora's
Box.
With
cabinet-level
status
for the
Trade
Representative,
the
president
may sign
treaties
without
congressional
approval.
A
declaration
of war,
once
required,
was
quietly
disbanded
with the
current,
unconstitutional
king's
cabinet
structure.
The
elevation
of the
EPA was
first
attempted
in March
1990
under G.
H. W.
Bush. He
wanted
it in
time to
celebrate
Earth
Day on
April
22,
1990.3
Clinton
also
attempted
to
empower
the EPA
which,
like
FEMA and
Nixon's
1972
Regional
Councils,
is
divided
into ten
regions
(for
better
control)
-
see maps.
The EPA
declares
its
Agenda
21
commitment,
as noted
on the
web site.
The Army
makes it
perfectly
clear
that it
intends
to seize
private
property
in
southeastern
Colorado.
They
don't
"need"
the land
for
training
purposes
- that
is a
pretext.
They
have
sufficient
mega
military
training
bases in
Iraq
(along
with the
world's
biggest
and most
expensive
embassy),
also on
plundered
land.
The
power of
eminent
domain
is an
oft-used
seizure
tactic;
there
are
others.
On
February
4, 2008,
Not 1
More
Acre!,
advocates
for the
beleaguered
citizens
of
southeastern
Colorado,
said:
"The
Pentagon
and its
military
contractors
are
continuing
to push
plans to
more
than
triple
the size
of the
Piñon
Canyon
Maneuver
Site in
southeastern
Colorado
- in
contravention
of a law
passed
by
Congress
which
forbids
them to
do so."
Remember,
the
Pentagon
and the
Department
of
Defense,
since
1947,
are
under
the
jurisdiction
of the
king's
cabinet.
Congressional
leaders,
frequently
indebted
to
campaign
contributors
and
deep-pocketed
lobbyists,
go
through
the
legislative
motions
and pass
laws
they
can't or
won't
enforce.
Many
sincere
officials
are
out-numbered
by the
compliant
power-loving
majority,
who long
ago
abdicated
their
sworn
responsibilities
- just
like
those
who
handed
America's
financial
resources
to the
Federal
Reserve
private
bankers
- the
internationalist
bankers
who
currently
manage
the
president,
his
cabinet,
elections
and the
monopoly
media's
talking
heads.
Despite
sounding
conspiratorial,
it is a
fact
that the
U.S. has
the
capability
of
manipulating
"the
climate
for
military
use."
They
have
applied
those
"modification
techniques"
for
"more
than
half a
century"
covertly
maneuvering
"weather
patterns,
communications
and
electric
power
systems
as a
weapon
of
global
warfare,
enabling
the U.S.
to
disrupt
and
dominate
entire
regions"
-
against
"enemy
countries,
friendly
nations"
or even,
dare I
say, the
U.S. to
"destabilize
economies,
ecosystems
and
agriculture."4
According
to a
top-secret
congressional
hearing
held
March
20,
1974,
the
military
used
weather
modification
in
Vietnam
and by
1977 was
spending
$2.8
million
a year
on
weather-modification
research;
the same
year
that the
United
Nations
banned
the
"hostile
use of
all
environmental
modification
techniques."
Allegedly,
the U.S.
discontinued
all
weather-modification
research
in 1979.5
HAARP,
initiated
in 1992
by
Advanced
Power
Technologies,
Inc.
(APTI),
a
subsidiary
of
Atlantic
Richfield
Corporation
(ARCO)
"was
developed
as part
of an
Anglo-American
partnership
between
Raytheon
Corporation
"which
owns the
HAARP
patents,
and
British
Aerospace
Systems
(BAES).
The
HAARP
project
is one
among
several
collaborative
ventures
in
advanced
weapons
systems
between
the two
defense
giants.
APTI
(including
the
HAARP
patents)
was sold
by ARCO
to
E-Systems
Inc, in
1994."6
"BAES
was
involved
in the
development
of the
advanced
stage of
the
HAARP
antenna
array
under a
2004
contract
with the
Office
of Naval
Research.
The
installation
of 132
high
frequency
transmitters
was
entrusted
by BAES
to its
U.S.
subsidiary,
BAE
Systems
Inc. and
their
Electronic
Warfare
division.
In
September
2007,
BAE
Systems
Inc.
received
the
Defense
Advanced
Research
Projects
Agency's
(DARPA)
top
award
for
"outstanding
leadership
and
engineering
innovation
in
designing,
constructing,
and
activating
the
Defense
Department's
High-Frequency
Active
Auroral
Research
Program
(HAARP)
instrument."
"HAARP,
the
world's
largest
and most
capable
ionospheric
research
facility,
will
serve
the U.S.
scientific
and
defense
communities
for the
next 30
to 50
years."
HAARP
was
dedicated
June 27,
2007 and
is
"jointly
funded
by the
U.S. Air
Force,
U.S.
Navy,
and
DARPA.78
The
Department
of
Defense
and the
CIA, the
president's
enforcement
agencies,
has
contracts
with
E-Systems,
founded
in 1964.
The CIA
is "the
intelligence-gathering
and
covert-action
arm of
the
president."
It is
not
"some
sort of
independently
run
mythical
loose
cannon."9
E-Systems,
owned by
war-profiteer
Raytheon
since
1994,
"manufactures
and
distributes
electronic
systems
and
communications
networks,
including
electronic
warfare
equipment,
navigation
and
reconnaissance
machinery,
and
highly
sophisticated
spying
devices."10
In the
early
1970s,
E-Systems
installed
communications
equipment
on the
President's
Air
Force
One.11
This
created
an
airborne
command
post for
the
Pentagon
and the
White
House.
This
"Doomsday
Plane"
enables
the
president
to
manage a
nuclear
war.12
Although,
there is
no hard
evidence
that
HAARP
has or
will be
used for
military
purposes,
the
involvement
of the
Department
of
Defense
would
decidedly
suggest
such
use.
After
all,
they are
not
recognized
for life
and
health
improvement
studies.
Advanced
technology
and
weaponry
would
provide
ample
opportunities
to
achieve
their
ultimate
"full
spectrum
dominance,"
including
the
"globalization
of the
world's
economy."13
The
United
Nations
Framework
Convention
on
Climate
Change
(UNFCCC),
the
Intergovernmental
Panel on
Climate
Change
(IPCC)
"has a
mandate
'to
assess
scientific,
technical
and
socioeconomic
information
relevant
for the
understanding
of
climate
change.'
This
mandate
includes
environmental
warfare.
'Geo-engineering'
is
acknowledged,
but the
underlying
military
applications
are
neither
the
object
of
policy
analysis
or
scientific
research
in the
thousands
of pages
of IPCC
reports
and
supporting
documents,
based on
the
expertise
and
input of
some
2,500
scientists,
policymakers
and
environmentalists."14
How
convenient
- just
ignore
the
horrific
possibilities
and
implications.
HAARP
was
unable
to
detect
the
"precise
location
of
tunnels
and
underground
shelters
which
was
defined
as a
"serious
weakness
in the
Department
of
Defense
plans
for
precision
attacks
on
hardened
targets
and for
counter
proliferation."
Therefore,
increased
funding
of $75
million
a year
was
allotted,
in May
1994,
for
further
research.15
Residents
of
southeastern
Colorado
had
already
suffered
through
seven
years of
drought,
accompanied
by major
financial
losses
due to
the
skyrocketing
cost of
hay, for
which
there
was no
assistance.16
Benefits,
financial
or
otherwise,
are
typically
and
repeatedly
extended
to
well-connected
corporations
- rarely
to
independent,
struggling
producers.
Then in
December
2006,
two back
to back
blizzards
delivered
record
snow
volume
of 3 to
4 feet,
with
snow
drifts
as high
as 10 to
18 feet
causing
financial
losses
of at
least
$500
million,
economically
devastating
the
people.17
During
the
storms,
between
10,000
and
15,000
cattle
perished
from
starvation
and
exposure.
The
numbers
increased
as the
snow
melted
and more
carcasses
were
revealed.
The area
affected
was home
to
"345,000
head of
cattle
and
calves,
23,500
head of
producing
sows and
112,000
head of
sheep
and
lambs."18
Livestock
contributes
70% to
Colorado's
agricultural
gross
product."19
The
record
storms
forced
"the
closures
of
Interstate
Highways
25, 76
and 70,
as well
as U.S.
Routes
350, 36
and 85."
Following
Holiday
Blizzards
I and
II, as
they
were
named,
more
than a
foot of
additional
snow
fell on
January
4-5,
bringing
the
total
snowfall
for 16
days to
more
than 80
inches
in some
areas.20
On
January
16,
2007,
newly
elected
Governor
Bill
Ritter
wrote to
U.S.
Agriculture
Secretary
Mike
Johanns
asking
for
federal
"financial
assistance
to
offset
livestock
and
agricultural
losses
and to
help
prevent
additional
cattle
deaths."
Additionally,
he
sought
funds to
"help
cover"
the
costs of
"snow
removal
and
emergency
rescue
operations."
Ritter
wanted
the USDA
to
"declare
the
following
counties
disaster
areas:
Baca,
Bent,
Cheyenne,
Crowley,
Huerfano,
Kiowa,
Las
Animas,
Lincoln,
Otero
and
Prowers
counties,"21
some of
the same
land
that the
Army had
targeted
for
seizure.
The
federal
government
offered
emergency
"loans"
to the
ranchers
and
farmers,
people
who
already
had
burdensome
bank
loans.22
The
state
also
offered
funds
for "the
rescue
and
recovery
of
livestock."
But, the
most
immediate
help
came
from
other
ranchers
-
neighbors
helping
neighbors.
Legislation
was
approved
for
those
who
suffered
livestock
losses
based on
a
presidential
disaster
declaration.
Ranchers
then
counted
on
federal
help.23
Unfortunately,
there
were
restrictions.
According
to their
disaster
declarations,
"thousands
of dead
cattle"
apparently
were not
"enough
of a
disaster"
for the
U.S.
Department
of
Agriculture
who
"denied
disaster
relief
and the
attendant
low-interest
loans"
to the
ten
Army-targeted
counties
devastated
by the
blizzards
in
southeast
Colorado.24
Lack of
assistance
might
force
some
discouraged
ranchers
to sell
their
land.
Although
ranchers
were not
"holding
their
breath"
for
state or
federal
relief,
such
relief
was
desired
and
somewhat
expected,
given
other
disaster
declarations
programs
instigated
by FEMA
and the
USDA.25
Governor
Ritter
expressed
disappointment
over
assistance
conditions
that
were
impossible
to meet.
It was
an
additional
setback
to
ranchers
and
farmers
who
watched
their
livelihoods
dissolve
after
"prolonged
drought
followed
by
devastating
storms."
Ritter,
along
with a
state
delegation
appealed
the USDA
decision
against
granting
low-interest
loans.
However,
the
ranchers
had
"sustained
such
terrific
losses
that
more
bank
loans"
would
not have
kept
"them
from
going
under."26
The
Emergency
Farm
Relief
Act of
2007, in
the
works
for
several
years,
would
have
provided
payments
to
ranchers
for
livestock
losses
due to
floods,
wildfires,
hurricanes
and
blizzards.
However,
USDA
denial
was
based on
its
assessment
that the
counties
had not
suffered
30
percent
production
losses -
not
economic
losses."27
"One
factor
leading
to the
limited
assistance
was that
livestock
do not
fall
under
USDA
crop
disaster
designations,
since
livestock
are not
a crop."28
Additionally,
freezing
rain
during
those
December
2006
storms
resulted
in
"significant
ice
accumulation"
causing
"tens of
thousands
of
people"
in the
five
affected
states
to lose
electrical
power,
"paralyzing
much of
the
Great
Plains.
Ice
accumulation
also
downed
trees
and
communication
towers."29
"The
worst
victims
of the
December
storms,
particularly
in
Colorado's
High
Plains,
were
cattle;
thousands
were
trapped
by heavy
snow and
strong
winds,
which
created
drifts
up to 20
feet in
some
areas.
Strong
north
winds
caused
unbelievable
blizzard
conditions,
with
drifts
as tall
as
two-story
buildings."30
That
blizzard
may
affect
cattle
reproduction
for
years to
come.
Bulls
experienced
reproductive
problems
"due to
frozen
testicles."
Cows
whose
embryos
died in
early
pregnancy
due to
the cold
were
vulnerable
to
deadly
infections.
Large
numbers
of
"stillborn
or
aborted
calves"
resulted
in a
decreased
"number
of
replacement
females.
Such
reproductive
problems
resulting
from the
blizzard
may have
an
economic
impact
for the
next
three to
five
years."31
Some hay
deliveries
arrived
weeks
later,
too late
for the
deceased
cows.
"Some
ranchers
felt the
distribution
could
have
been
timelier
in
execution.
Ranchers
and
farmers
have not
received
federal
disaster
relief
and
emergency
aid,
such as
money
for
livestock
rescue
and
recovery."32
Too
little,
too late
- just
like New
Orleans
and
currently,
Iowa.
FEMA
immediately
responded
on 9/11.
Debris,
which
may have
provided
evidence,
was
hurriedly
cleared
away, an
anomaly
in such
circumstances.
The EPA,
also
very
quickly,
declared
that the
toxic
air was
harmless.
People,
trusting
authority,
accepted
the
falsehood.
Many
individuals
developed
serious
health
problems
and have
since
died.
Colorado
applicants
for
assistance
had to
leap
through
numerous
hoops
despite
very
public,
appeasing,
sympathetic
rhetoric
and
philanthropic
performances
associated
with the
Presidential
Snow
Emergency
Declarations.
One may
view the
After
Action
Report.
Yes,
folks,
we can
trust
the
government
- NOT!

Water
consumption
has
tripled
in
the
past
30
years
and
there's
a
growing
danger
that
disputes
over
the
most
necessary
of
resources
could
erupt
into
violence.
Water
is
rapidly
becoming
one
of
the
defining
crises
of
the
21st
century.
Climate
change
is
making
its
availability
increasingly
uncertain.
And
we
are
using
ever
more
of
the
stuff.
In
the
past
three
decades
the
human
population
has
doubled
but
human
use
of
water
has
tripled
--
largely
because,
ton-for-ton,
modern
'high-yielding'
crop
varieties
often
need
more
water
than
the
old
crops.
A
typical
Westerner
consumes,
directly
and
through
thirsty
products
like
food,
about
a
hundred
times
their
own
weight
in
water
every
day.
That
is
why
some
of
the
great
rivers
of
the
world,
such
as
the
Nile,
Indus,
Yellow
River
and
Colorado,
no
longer
reach
the
sea
in
any
appreciable
volume.
All
their
water
is
taken.
Many
parts
of
the
world,
notably
the
Middle
East,
are
running
out
of
water
to
feed
themselves.
In
response,
a
vast
global
trade
is
emerging.
Not
in
water
itself,
but
in
thirsty
crops
like
grains
and
sugar
and
cotton.
Europe
is a
major
importer
of
thirsty
crops.
Meanwhile
the
US,
along
with
a
handful
of
other
countries,
like
Australia,
Argentina,
Thailand
and
Canada,
are
major
exporters.
Economists
call
this
the
'virtual
water
trade.'
Many
countries
would
starve
without
it.
But
as
more
and
more
countries
run
short
of
water,
the
trade
will
be
disrupted.
And
the
threat
of
wars
over
water
will
grow.
Already
water
shortages
are
at
the
heart
of
many
injustices.
Ever
since
Israel
took
control
of
the
West
Bank
in
1967,
it
has
refused
to
let
Palestinians
sink
new
boreholes
there.
It
says
this
policy
is
necessary
to
protect
the
underground
water
reserves,
which
are
already
being
over-used.
That
is
true.
But
the
reality
is
that
Israel
takes
most
of
the
water,
and
the
limits
only
apply
to
Palestinians.
Israel's
relations
with
its
other
neighbours
are
poisoned
by
its
insistence
on
controlling
the
watershed
of
the
River
Jordan,
its
main
source
of
water.
According
to
former
prime
minister
Ariel
Sharon's
memoirs,
the
1967
Six
Day
War
was
fought
as
much
for
control
of
the
River
Jordan
as
for
land.
Israel
today
hangs
onto
the
Golan
Heights
less
for
military
reasons
than
because
it
is
where
the
river
rises.
Scour
the
more
serious
newspapers
and
you
will
see
a
constant
drip-drip
of
stories
about
water
riots
in
Pakistan,
Mexico,
India,
China,
Indonesia
and
elsewhere.
The
world
is
awash
too
with
disputes
over
international
rivers
that
threaten
to
become
full-blown
wars
as
water
shortages
grow.
As a
Briton,
I am
aware
that
many
of
these
disputes
are
in
former
British-run
territories,
and
have
their
origins
in
colonial
times.
The
1947
partitioning
of
India
split
control
of
the
River
Indus.
Now
India
and
Pakistan
are
at
odds
over
a
new
Indian
hydroelectric
plant
that,
Pakistan
claims,
threatens
its
British-built
irrigation
schemes,
which
supply
most
of
the
country’s
food.
India’s
control
over
the
Ganges
causes
both
floods
and
droughts
in
downstream
Bangladesh.
In
Africa,
Britain
left
behind
a
Nile
treaty
that
gives
all
the
waters
of a
river
that
flows
through
ten
countries
to
the
two
most
downstream:
Egypt
and
Sudan.
Egypt
now
threatens
to
wage
war
on
anyone
upstream
--
such
as
Ethiopia
--
who
takes
so
much
as a
pint
pot
of
water
from
the
river.
Other
festering
disputes
concern
Chinese
dams
being
built
on
the
Mekong
in
Southeast
Asia,
and
complex
conflicts
in
central
Asia,
where
upstream
hydroelectric
dams
that
keep
the
people
of
Tajikistan
and
Kyrgyzstan
warm
in
winter
disrupt
water
supplies
for
the
huge
cotton
plantations
of
downstream
Uzbekistan
and
Kazakhstan.
One
of
the
first
items
on
the
agenda
of a
future
functioning
Iraqi
government
will
be
to
contest
Turkish
dams
upstream
on
the
Tigris
and
Euphrates.
A
major
problem
in
many
of
these
disputes
is
that
there
are
no
internationally
agreed
ground
rules
for
how
nations
should
cooperate
over
shared
rivers.
Back
in
1997
governments
meeting
at
the
UN
agreed
on
the
text
of a
Watercourses
Convention
establishing
such
rules.
And
yet
a
decade
later,
the
treaty
languishes
without
sufficient
signatures
from
national
legislatures
to
enter
into
force.
Amid
the
inevitable
platitudes,
it
would
be
more
valuable
if,
on
World
Water
Day
this
weekend,
governments
would
pledge
themselves
to
bringing
this
vital
agreement
into
force.
It
would
be
the
first
step
to
preventing
future
water
wars.

After the
conquest of William the
Conqueror in 1066, who
first brought the Jewish
bankers to London from
France, the Jews
developed written credit
agreements for the king, (in
French called
"mort-gages" mort 'death'
gage 'bond') and it was
the marshal's and sheriff's
jobs to ensure that all the
interest payments of these
"death-bonds" were paid to
the Jews on behalf of the
king. During the reign of
Richard I (the Lionheart)
after the serious downturn
in the economy as the result
of the cost and tax
impositions of the Crusades,
many farmers, business
people and peasants had
defaulted on their
"mort-gages" throughout
England.
As the result, the
Jews promptly commenced
seizing the commoner's
property for not paying the
interest, rates and taxes to
the City and King.
Subsequently, a rapid
increase in hate against the
"King's Jews" was initiated.
This led to the massacre of
Jews at York in 1190. New
York in America was later
named by British Jewish
immigrant bankers in memory
of the event.
For 100 years the
commoner's hate against the
"King's Jews" fermented
until 1290, when, under
pressure from the people,
Edward III finally suspended
the Mayoralty and
reluctantly banished all
Jews from his kingdom when
16,000 left England and
didn't begin to return until
around the reign of
Elizabeth I 1558-1603) when
the enormous power of the
City really began to
accelerate with the opening
of the world's first stock
exchange in London and has
continued unabated to the
present day.
[***According to the
Jewish History Books the
Jews returned to England
after the death of Oliver
CROMWELL nearly 75 years
later. CROMWELL had won the
Civil War in England in 1660
and formed the first
republic or
"The Commonwealth" in
England The Jews of
Amsterdam approached
Cromwell in 1655 to allow
them to return England but
a decision was not reached.
It appears that the
Portuguese Jews may have
funded the return of Charles
II as the minutes of the
Board of Deputies of British
Jews were written in
Portuguese for the first 60
years ref "The History
of the Jews: From Cromwell's
Commonwealth to the
Napoleonic Era" Simon
DUBNOC, Moshe SPIEGEL
(translator). However this
rivalry stimulated the
formation of many trading
companies in England
including
The Formation of the East
India Company
When in 1694 the Scots
tried to emulate the trading
English juggernaut with the
ill-fated Scottish East
India Company
"Darien Expedition" the
Scots may have been
deliberately lured into
bankruptcy to sign the Union
of Parliaments. The Darien
Expedition was promoted in
Scotland by William PATERSON
who is credited as being the
founder of the Bank of
England. However the
Expedition was a monumental
disaster and resulted in the
Union of Parliaments between
England and Scotland***]
While there have been
rare occasions when the Lord
Mayor and Commalty of the
City, as a result of their
colossal wealth and power
have been able to subtly
out-maneuver the monarch, as
to their cost, Richard II,
Charles I and James II were
to learn to their fate
generally speaking this has
been the exception rather
than the rule. Ultimately,
whoever successfully rules
must have the "will" of the
people.
Historically, in the
City many although certainly
not all monarchs, have ruled
with the "will" of their
subjects. But rarely, if
ever, have the bankers, rich
barons or knights been
respected in this position.
More often than not they've
been consistently hated.
Even when monarchs have done
a poor job, provided they
have still had the "will" of
the people, the wealthy
bankers' position has been
extremely "perilous" to say
the least. After forty years
of misrule by Henry III, the
Lord Mayor, Thomas
Fitzthomas (1261-1264) and
the Aldermen defied the
king.
On this particular
occasion the Lord Mayor
ended up being thrown into
the Tower where he died.
Henry III vetoed nine Mayors
in his long reign, and
jailed another who died in
prison. On one occasion the
threat to the Lord Mayor's
massive wealth and power has
not come directly from the
monarch, but from the people
themselves. Mayor Nicholas
Brembre(1383-1385)had been a
king's man during the
peasant's revolt, and was
knighted by Richard II
(similar to Sir Barry
Curtis, Mayor of Manukau
City in New Zealand today)
for curbing the ambitions of
his uncle, John of Gaunt.
But Brembre had few friends
among the common people
having deposed the popular
Mayor Adam Stable, and when
he re-imposed the hated Poll
Tax which had caused the
revolt, the mob turned on
him. He was given a mockery
of a trial and was then
hanged, drawn and quartered.
Understandably,
therefore, from the time of
Richard II most of the "Lord
Mayors" in the City of
London and others in the
realm became very "cautious"
and "hesitant" about any
proposal which could be seen
as an "unreasonable demand"
to levy rates or taxes for
the City and king. However,
today these events have all
but been forgotten. From the
time of William the
Conqueror in 1066 up to the
time of the Reformation the
City of London Corporation
was Roman Catholic. (The
modern global "company" and
"corporate" business system
that we know today grew out
of the old Roman Catholic
dioceses in England which
were the world's first
"corporations").
During the reigns of
Henry VIII (1491-1547) and
Elizabeth I (1558-1603) when
the Church of England,
knights and barons took over
the assets of the Catholic
Church in England, the City
then became Protestant.
Gradually, as the people of
England apostatized and
turned away from the
Protestant King James Bible
and Christianity in general,
both Roman Catholic and
Protestant, in the late
1800's the City and Monarchy
became rabidly Socialist.

The Fabian Society
literally controls the
European Union. German-born
Gisela Stuart, the Labour MP
for Birmingham Edgbaston
since 1997, and member of
the House of Commons Foreign
Affairs Select Committee,
was one of two House of
Commons' Representatives on
the European Convention and
a member of the Presidium of
the Convention on the Future
of Europe.
The Presidium was the
drafting body that created
the draft Constitution for
Europe. In her book, The
Making of Europe's
Constitution , published in
December 2003 by the Fabian
Society, p. 20-21, Gisela
writes: "In the early
months, the Presidium
members would meet in a
small room in the Justus
Lipsius Building some
fifteen minute walk from the
European Parliament.
Attendance was limited to
the thirteen members, the
Secretary General Sir John
Kerr, his deputy and the
press officer.
Sir John Kerr, a
former Permanent Secretary
of the British Foreign
Office, conducted the
proceedings inside the
Presidium and in the plenary
sessions of the Convention
with deft diplomatic skill
as might be expected from
someone who John Major
called 'Machiavelli' in his
autobiography. The best
description of his talents I
heard was: 'When Kerr comes
up to you and asks for the
time, you wonder why me and
why now?'
On several occasions,
we would retreat to the Val
Duchess a small palace
used by the Belgian foreign
minister. It was at one of
the dinners at Val Duchess
that the skeleton of the
draft constitution was given
to members of the presidium
in sealed brown envelopes
the weekend before the
public presentation. We were
not allowed to take the
documents away with us. Just
precisely who drafted the
skeleton, and when, is still
unclear to me, but I gather
much of the work was done by
Valery Giscard d'Estaing and
Sir John Kerr over the
summer.
There was little time
for informed discussion, and
even less scope for changes
to be made." Today the
Labour Parties in both New
Zealand and Australia are
closely affiliated to the
Fabian Society in London.
When Australian Labour Party
Prime Minister Bob Hawke (a
Rhodes Scholar), was guest
of honour at the Fabian
Society's Centenary
Commemoration Dinner in
Melbourne on May 18, 1984,
he said: "I gladly
acknowledge the debt of my
own government to Fabianism.
Earlier I dealt at some
length with the principle of
the inevitability of
'gradualness.' There is
another important idea, a
method more than a principle
which becomes closely
associated with Fabianism.
Sydney Webb called it
'permeation.' Today it would
be called 'consensus.'
Webb put it this way.
Most reformers think that
all they have to do in a
political democracy is to
obtain a majority. This is a
profound mistake. What has
to be changed is not only
the vote that is cast, but
also the mental climate in
which Parliament and
Government both live and
work. That I find to be an
accurate description of the
approach I and my colleagues
have tried to bring to the
affairs of the nation in our
first term of office."
In June 2001, at the
Federal Government joint
standing committee on
treaties inquiry into
whether Australia should
support a statute of the UN
International Criminal Court
which would affect the
"sovereignty" of all
Australians, when criticized
by an Australian patriotic
group, Labour Party Senator
Chris Schacht, sarcastically
exclaimed he had been a
member of the Fabian Society
for 20 years and further,
said; "You probably were not
aware that us Fabians have
taken over the CIA, KGB,
M15, ASIO (Australian
Security Intelligence
Organization), IMF, the
World Bank and many other
organizations." That is why
Tony Blair, as part of the
2006 Commonwealth Games
Closing Celebrations in
Melbourne on March 26, was
also invited by Labour
officials and business
leaders to speak to the
Australian Parliament in
Canberra on March 27 about
his Fabian "war against
terror," and "intelligence
matters" where he said; "The
war against terror was as
much a battle about values
as it was about arms." And
why, after the Australian
Government meeting, he flew
directly to New Zealand on
March 28 to speak about the
same subject at a meeting in
the Auckland Town Hall,
hosted by the New Zealand
Labour Party Prime Minister,
Helen Clark, and the
Auckland Regional Chamber of
Commerce and Industry
after which he participated
(by video-link) in the
International Climate Change
Conference in Wellington on
March 29, and later
discussed with Prime
Minister Helen Clark his
("Fabian Society")
"initiative to set up a unit
in the NZ public service to
enable their respective
Labour Governments to
co-operate more closely on
policy development" ( NZ
Herald, March 28, 2006 pg.
A3) and on "security
intelligence matters" as
communist China is brought
into the fold.
In the last century,
members of the British
Fabian Society dynastic
banking families in the City
of London financed the
Communist takeover of
Russia. Trotsky in his
biography refers to some of
the loans from these British
financiers going back as far
as 1907. By 1917 the major
subsidies and funding for
the Bolshevik Revolution
were co-ordinated and
arranged by Sir George
Buchanan and Lord Alfred
Milner. The Communist system
in Russia was a "British
experiment" designed
ultimately to become the
Fabian Socialist model for
the British takeover of the
world through the UN and EU.
