In January 2007, the U.S. Climate Action
Partnership (USCAP),
-
a consortium of high-profile corporations
(BP, Lehman Brothers, DuPont, GE, et al.)
-
environmentalist groups such
as World Resources Institute (WRI), Environmental Defense
(ED), and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC),
...issued a press release.
The implied intention of USCAP is to transform
pollution into a commodity. This has nothing to do with protecting the
environment. The true intention is twofold: ensure that the poorest nations
of the Earth never develop, and lay the foundation of the next speculative
financial bubble.
In February, at a Global Legislators Organization for a
Better Environment (GLOBE) event,
World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz
praised carbon trading, claiming that it could generate as much as $200
billion, much of which would go to African nations.
Africa could sell its pollution rights and get
more money than it currently does in development assistance; but of course,
this would mean that Africa would not be allowed to develop.
GLOBE was created in 1989 by, primarily,
Al
Gore and a number of British Parliamentarians, for the express purpose
of preventing the world's poorest from raising themselves out of their
condition.
"Sustainable development'' is the equivalent
of mass murder.
The environmentalist movement is anything but
the grassroots movement it pretends to be. The biggest and most influential
groups receive tens of millions of dollars in funding every year, and the
boards of trustees and directors reflect this.
Who is running the WRI, the NRDC, and ED?
Bankers, hedge-fund managers, big oil - the list
goes on... But it goes even deeper than this, for the biggest student
movements, such as Focus the Nation, Step It Up, and the Stop Global Warming
Now movement, are financed, organized, and deployed by hard-core Synarchist
Felix Rohatyn.
These unwitting young people, organized by
New Age
fascist freak-show Bill McKibben and his Middlebury College cronies,
are designated to be the Jacobin shock troops which tear apart the social
order with their lunatic demands of "pandas, not people!''
Now, with the ongoing collapse of the U.S. sub-prime mortgage sector and the
overall bankruptcy of the world economy, these networks are rushing to set
up a new source for speculation; but more importantly, they are attempting
to force these CO2 emissions agreements down the throats of governments as a
way of finishing off the nation-state system.
Hedge funds such as
Al Gore's Generation
Investment Management are vultures, scavenging for the last bits of meat
left on the carcass of the world economy before it all goes down.
Throughout history, there have been those who, with an eye to specific
political objectives, have used terror or the threat thereof against target
populations. These threats, real or imagined, have characteristically been
outsiders or specters lurking on the periphery, ready to pounce, like the
bogeyman in the shadows of a young child's bedroom.
However, today, for the first time in history,
humanity is confronted with an aspect more terrifying than any external
threat, for as the anti-human
Club of Rome wrote in its 1991 publication,
The First Global Revolution,
"in searching for a new enemy to unite us,
we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming,
water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill.
But in designating them as the enemy, we
fall into the trap of mistaking symptoms for causes. All these dangers
are caused by human intervention and it is only through changed
attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome.
The real enemy, then, is humanity itself.''
A Turning Point in
History
On Aug. 15, 1971, the
Bretton Woods System, established by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, was destroyed by the Anglo-Dutch
empire-linked advisors of Richard Nixon, most notably
Henry Kissinger
and George Shultz.
It was a deliberate act by the would-be
"post-industrial'' wreckers of the nation-state system.
It was in this
context, with a civilization shattered by the 1960s counterculture and the
string of political assassinations, wars, and crises which accompanied it,
that human abortions such as Kissinger, Shultz, and Felix Rohatyn (to name
but a few) could step in and usurp control of the world economy.
However, these madmen had a problem: by taking down the Bretton Woods
System and by getting the United States involved in the folly of the
Vietnam War, the physical economy was beginning to collapse from a lack of
capital investment.
Now, with physical economic output falling, and
debt service increasing, the financiers had two options:
-
either go with increased investments in
the physical economy machinery-infrastructure, power production,
etc.,
-
or go with the economic policy of Nazi
Finance Minister Hjalmar Schacht, known today as fiscal
austerity.
Naturally, having never really joined the human
race, these fellows decided to send us all on a one-way trip back to the
jungle.
Their plan was not to invest in the population or the physical economy, but
rather to embark on a path which, as Lyndon LaRouche recognized in
the 1960s, would lead inevitably to fascism, and by a similar route as
occurred in Germany in the late 1920s and early 1930s - where the
"nature-loving'' and "purity-based'' ecology-freak counterculture, swarmed
en masse into the Hitler Youth and the Nazi Party, and ultimately, on behalf
of international financiers, carried out the Schachtian economics that
ground up human beings for the state.
The essence of the matter is this: If technological progress is halted, it
becomes impossible to sustain a population at the same standard of living.
Thus, if the financiers demand that debts come before people, and at the
same time the revenue pool from which those payments are made is shrinking,
then the people will inevitably be gouged, through wage reductions, price
inflation, increasing taxation, and so on.
Kissinger, Shultz, and Rohatyn, not to mention "Fat Albert'' Gore, have no
scruples about mass-murder or larceny; for them it is simply business. The
difficulty was the Constitutional tradition of the United States.
Patriotism, in the tradition of Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt, has
always been an aspiration for the entire human race; to replace such a
conception with the overtly racist imperialism now rampant in this nation
could only be the work of clever criminality, the source of which is found
in the rotted heart of the British Empire.
Cecil Rhodes and the
Cult of Eugenics
The British East India Company, modeled on the older Levant
Company of Venice, had been raping India since the early 1700s; but it
wasn't until 1763 that this Venetian faction was able to seize control over
the Empire as a whole.
It was the rapacious looting policies of this
faction that forced the American colonies to declare their independence.
British imperialist Cecil
Rhodes, founder of the British Roundtable,
set out to establish
institutions which would ensure
that his white supremacist policies would
outlive him.
After the American Revolution, the British
launched a renewed drive against India, completely conquering the
Subcontinent by the first years of the new century. It was in this period
that the opium trade, for which India was the linchpin, became the dominant
pursuit of the Empire.
After Lincoln's victory over the Confederacy in the American Civil War, and
even more so after the 1876 Centennial Celebration, it became clear that the
United States could not be conquered militarily. The British responded by
launching the pseudo-science of eugenics, and also
the Round Table movements of Cecil
Rhodes and Lord Alfred Milner.
In the 1880s and 1890s, this elite movement
created:
-
the Eugenics Society, founded by Sir Arthur Balfour of the
Venetian-origin Cecil family
-
John Ruskin's Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood,
opposing the entire European Renaissance
-
the Round Table of Cecil
Rhodes, Alfred Milner, Balfour, and their friends, strategists from the
African and Asian empire, seeking world power for the Anglo-Saxon master
race.
These men shared a bored contempt for the
existence of mankind, like the satanic Zeus of Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound.
Their idea was to convince the United States to join them in their quest for
Anglo-Saxon world government.
The Round Table of Cecil Rhodes was centered on the imperial networks
of South Africa, which later spawned raw materials monoliths such as,
-
Rio Tinto Zinc
-
Anglo American
-
Lonrho
-
DeBeers
It was this inhuman cabal which ran the
Boer
War, conducted genocide against the black population, and later set up the
horrendous Apartheid regime.
One of the wealthiest, most influential, and
evil men of his day, Rhodes was a virulent racist, or as he and his friends
termed it, a race patriot, who wrote in a document called Confession of
Faith:
"I contend that we are the finest race in
the world and that the more of the world we inhabit the better it is for
the human race. Just fancy those parts that are at present inhabited by
the most despicable specimens of human beings; what an alteration there
would be if they were brought under Anglo-Saxon influence, look again at
the extra employment a new country added to our dominions gives. I
contend that every acre added to our territory means in the future birth
to some more of the English race who otherwise would not be brought into
existence.
Added to this the absorption of the greater
portion of the world under our rule simply means the end of all wars; at
this moment had we not lost America I believe we could have stopped the
Russian-Turkish war by merely refusing money and supplies. Having these
ideas what scheme could we think of to forward this object?
"Why should we not form a secret society with but one object: the
furtherance of the British Empire and the bringing of the whole
uncivilized world under British rule, for the recovery of the United
States, and for the making of the Anglo-Saxon race but one Empire?
"Africa is still lying ready for us, it is our duty to take it. It is
our duty to seize every opportunity of acquiring more territory and we
should keep this one idea steadily before our eyes: that more territory
simply means more of the Anglo-Saxon race, more of the best, the most
human, most honorable race the world possesses''
Over the course of his life, Rhodes commissioned
seven wills to be written, all expressing this same purpose.
His fortune was to be used for setting up the
Rhodes Trust and Rhodes Scholarship as a means of recruiting American and
Commonwealth Anglophiles into the imperial faction:
"Let us form the same kind of society, a
Church for the extension of the British Empire.
A society which should have its members in
every part of the British Empire working with one object and one idea we
should have its members placed at our universities and our schools and
should watch the English youth passing through their hands just one
perhaps in every thousand would have the mind and feelings for such an
object, he should be tried in every way, he should be tested whether he
is endurant, possessed of eloquence, disregardful of the petty details
of life, and if found to be such, then elected and bound by oath to
serve for the rest of his life in his Country.
He should then be supported if without means
by the Society and sent to that part of the Empire where it was felt he
was needed.''
In his will, Rhodes authorized provisions for:
"...the extension of British rule throughout
the world. The colonization by British subjects of all lands where the
means of livelihood are attainable by energy, labour, and enterprise and
especially the occupation by British settlers of:
-
the entire Continent of
Africa
-
the Holy Land
-
the Valley of the Euphrates
-
the islands of
Cyprus and Candia
-
the whole of South America
-
the islands of the
Pacific not heretofore possessed by Great Britain
-
the whole of the
Malay Archipelago
-
the seaboard of China and Japan
-
the ultimate
recovery of the United States of America as an integral part of the
British Empire"
It was this same British network of families
(including the Huxley clan, the Cadburys, the Darwins, and the Wedgewoods)
and banking interests, with offshoots in North America and the rest of
Europe, which spawned the early 20th-century eugenics movement.
This set ran the zoos, and said men were base
animals, and they directed British colonial strategy and official science.
Eugenics claimed that the English upper class ruled because they were
genetically superior.
The English masters humored themselves with this
doctrine enforced on their beaten-down subjects, in India, which the English
reduced to starvation and political impotence by closing native industries;
and in South Africa under white rule.
These were the very same families who funded Hitler, and exerted their
influence over the German banking system to have him appointed Chancellor in
1933. In 1917, while World War I was still raging, Lord Lothian, one
of Lord Milner's most important protégés, suddenly departed from his
previously fanatical anti-German rhetoric. As soon as Germany is crushed, he
said, let us rearm and remilitarize it under the most reactionary leaders,
and point Germany towards war with Russia and France.
This was done 16 years later, in 1933.
At the
same time, the Anglo-Saxon eugenics doctrine was imported into Germany, to
help shape Nazi rule.
The cabal called for the sterilization or euthanizing of unfit members of
society, to spare the expense of their lives, much like today's privatized
HMO system functions; and these policies have always been a doctrine of
racial aggression.
In 1932, the Third International Eugenics Conference was held in New York
City, chaired by the rabid bigot Fairfield Osborn, whose like-minded
nephew would later create the Conservation Foundation.
Osborn was president of the American Museum of
Natural History and a close colleague of the notoriously racist Julian
Huxley, and the co-host of the conference, the Harriman family.
America's would-be oligarchs,
like the Harriman family, were unabashed in their
support for eugenics in the early 20th century. Here is N.Y. World coverage
of Averell
Harriman's mother Mary, lending her support in 1915 to the Eugenics
Society's
campaign for sterilizing "defectives."
On Aug. 23, 1932, the New York Times
published a speech delivered by Osborn at the conference.
"Eugenics,'' Osborn declared, "aids and
encourages the survival and multiplication of the fittest; indirectly,
it would check and discourage the multiplication of the unfitted.
As to
the latter, in the United States alone, it is widely recognized that
there are millions of people who are acting as dragnets or sheet anchors
on the progress of the ship of state.''
Osborn, in language all too familiar among
today's environmentalists, continued with his analysis of the 10 million
Americans unemployed at the time:
"While some highly competent people are
unemployed, the mass of unemployment is among the less competent, who
are first selected for suspension, while the few highly competent people
are retained because they are still indispensable.
In nature, these
less-fitted individuals would gradually disappear, but in civilization,
we are keeping them in the community in the hopes that in brighter days,
they may all find employment.
This is only another instance of humane
civilization going directly against the order of nature and encouraging
the survival of the un-fittest.''
It was not accidental that a number of leading
Nazi race scientists in attendance were honored, and the presidency of the
International Federation of Eugenics Organizations was conferred upon Nazi
Dr. Ernst Rudin.
The policies of the eugenicists were derived explicitly from those of the
Confederate slave holders, whose descendants, such as Teddy Roosevelt,
continued to be virulent racists and proudly traitorous Anglophiles. In
fact, it was Gifford Pinchot, a eugenicist himself, who first coined the
term "conservation,'' deriving it from a term used by the British in their
colonial management of India!
The eugenicists sought not only to
"scientifically prove'' the superiority of the Anglo-Saxon race, and thus
its right and responsibility to rule the Earth, but also the incapacity of
the "lesser races'' to utilize technology or govern themselves.
The British were in full agreement with Hitler on most issues, including the
threat posed by Asian development. When Hitler met with Lord Lothian on Jan.
29, 1935, Lothian had recently completed a term as Undersecretary of State
for India, directing the repression of India's nationalist leaders, Gandhi
and Nehru, just after Lothian's close collaborator Lord Halifax had been
Viceroy.
Hitler knew he was speaking to a member of the
inner circle of the Empire when he suggested to Lothian that,
"Germany, England, France, Italy, America
and Scandinavia... should arrive at some agreement whereby they would
prevent their nationals from assisting in the industrializing of
countries such as China, and India. It is suicidal to promote the
establishment in the agricultural countries of Asia of manufacturing
industries.''
(Transcription in Sir James R.M. Butler,
Lord Lothian, Macmillan and Co., London, 1960, pp. 332)
Hitler also would have recognized that the
British were actively engaged in exactly those policies he had outlined.
Lord Lothian himself had expressed this
viewpoint long before, writing in 1918 about the problem of getting the
United States to give up its support for the advancement of colonial-sector
peoples, and to adopt the British approach of crushing them with free trade.
Lothian wrote,
"The real problem is going to arise from the
treatment which must be accorded to politically backward peoples....
''[T]here is a fundamentally different concept in regard to this
question between Great Britain ... and the United States .... as to the
necessity of civilized control over politically backward peoples....
The
inhabitants of Africa and parts of Asia have proved unable to govern
themselves ... because they were quite unable to withstand the
demoralizing influences [i.e. their reprehensible desire to possess
modern industry - ed.] to which they were subjected in some civilized
countries, so that the intervention of an European power is necessary in
order to protect them from those influences....
The American view ... is
quite different....
The extent of this work after the war,
sometimes known as the white man's burden, will be so vast that it will
never be accomplished at all unless it is shared.... Yet America not
only has no conception of this aspect of the problem but has been led to
believe that the assumption of this kind of responsibility is iniquitous
imperialism.
They take an attitude towards the problem of world
government exactly analogous to the one they [earlier] took ... toward
the problem of the [first] world war....
"If they are slow in learning we shall be condemned to a period ... of
strained relations between the various parts of the English-speaking
world. [We must] get into the heads of Canadians and Americans that a
share in the burden of world government is just as great and glorious a
responsibility as participation in the war.''
(Lothian to Lionel Curtis,
Oct. 15, 1918, in Butler, Lord Lothian, pp. 68-70)
Lothian, secretary of the Rhodes Trust, and his
collaborator Lord Halifax, would both serve as ambassadors to the United
States over the course of World War II, tasked with "handling America'' and
guiding it into its destined imperial role.
The New Eugenics
In 1946,
Julian Huxley, the new Director-General of the United
Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO),
announced that the eugenics movement, of which he had been a leading member,
would not be dissolved, despite the somewhat unfortunate reputation it then
commanded.
Sir Julian Huxley, previously
the head of the Eugenics Society,
made a smooth transition into
pushing world depopulation through UNESCO,
whose head he became in 1946,
after Hitler's genocide had given eugenics a bad name.
He is seen here addressing
UNESCO in 1965.
With the stench of Hitler's mass-murderous
frenzy still heavy in the air, the undaunted Huxley, who had been
vice-president of the Eugenics Society of Great Britain from 1937-1944,
announced,
"even though it is quite true that any
radical eugenic policy will be for many years politically and
psychologically impossible, it will be important for UNESCO to see that
the eugenic problem is examined with the greatest care and that the
public mind is informed of the issues at stake so that much that now is
unthinkable may at least become thinkable''
And thus the modern environmental movement was
launched.
Environmentalism, first known as "conservation,'' was the continuation of
the most sickening form of racism, a racism ingrained in the British ruling
families and their affiliates by the many years of colonial conquest and
looting.
In 1924, Huxley had voiced his own opinion of
Africans in the British publication the Spectator:
"You have only to go to a nigger
camp-meeting to see the African mind in operation the shrieks, the
dancing and yelling and sweating, the surrender to the most violent
emotion, the ecstatic blending of the soul of the Congo with the
practice of the Salvation army.
So far, no very satisfactory psychological
measure has been found for racial differences; that will come, but
meanwhile the differences are patent.''
Apart from the sick doctrines of Huxley and
company, all strains of environmentalism are also based upon the madly
fraudulent and genocidal doctrines of Thomas Parson Malthus
(1766-1834).
Malthus was first employed to explain why the
Irish had to starve.
Malthus preached that the world was
overpopulated because population increased faster than the food supply; but
considering that he came from a wealthy family of seven children, and he had
three children of his own, what he really meant was the world was too full
of poor and dark-skinned peoples - and don't forget the Irish!
But, of course, he did work for the British
East India Company, the world's foremost drug-running cartel.
As he writes in his nefarious work,
An Essay
on the Principle of Population:
"We are bound in justice and honor formally
to disdain the right of the poor to support.
"To this end, I should propose a regulation to be made, declaring that
no child born from any marriage taking place after the expiration of a
year from the date of the law, and no illegitimate child born two years
from the same date, should ever be entitled to parish assistance.
"The infant is, comparatively speaking, of little value to society, as
others will immediately supply its place.
"All children who are born, beyond what would be required to keep up the
population to a desired level, must necessarily perish, unless room be
made for them by the death of grown persons. Therefore we should
facilitate, instead of foolishly and vainly endeavoring to impede, the
operations of nature in producing this mortality; and if we dread the
too frequent visitation of the horrid form of famine, we should
sedulously encourage the other forms of destruction, which we compel
nature to use.
"Instead of recommending cleanliness to the poor, we should encourage
contrary habits. In our towns we should make the streets narrower, crowd
more people into the houses, and court the return of the plague. In the
country, we should build our villages near stagnant pools, and
particularly encourage settlement in all marshy and unwholesome
situations. But above all we should reprobate specific remedies for
ravaging diseases; and restrain those benevolent, but much mistaken men,
who have thought they are doing a service to mankind by protecting
schemes for the total extirpation of particular disorders.''
Malthus's theory was thoroughly ridiculed in his
own time as being a mess of satanic gibberish.
That we have raised the standard of living and
the number of people per square kilometer by over three orders of magnitude
since ancient times is more than proof enough; in fact, by Malthus's own
ridiculous theory, the world was overpopulated in the Stone Age!
The problem that all Malthusians are crabbily
compelled to face is our irritatingly persistent tendency to develop new
technologies and resources:
"If only,'' they say, "if only mankind would
start behaving as we say he ought to, then we would be right!''
Unfortunately, the British would not let the
wretched little man alone; in a magnificent sleight of hand, they dragged
his miserable old bones out of ground, and gave him a shiny new suit.
In 1948, the Conservation Foundation released its first annual report,
claiming increasing population causes a drain on natural resources which is
geometric, not arithmetic. Science cannot be expected to supplant the vital
processes of nature.
The Conservation Foundation (CF)
was the spawn of the American Eugenics Society and the
International Union for the Conservation of Nature, founded the previous
year by the Swiss, and the same royal families of Britain, Belgium, and
Holland that had been intimately involved in promoting eugenics prior to
World War II.
The first president of the CF was Henry
Fairfield Osborn, the nephew of the Fairfield Osborn who had presided
over the 1932 Eugenics Conference.
Two years later, these same families would gather together a motley
collection of the most degenerate Western intellectuals to form the
Congress for Cultural Freedom (CCF). The CCF would play a crucial
role through the coming decades in destroying the last vestiges of Classical
humanist and scientific education, while promoting existentialism, cultural
and moral relativism, and a whole assortment of equally destructive
philosophies.
The counterculture of the 1960s, and the
explicitly fascist tendencies which erupted within the Baby-Boomer
generation, were direct outgrowths of the CCF's operations.
In 1961, the CF published an influential set of essays based upon the
writings of Malthus.
Some of the leading contributors were,
-
Lord Solly Zuckerman
-
Lord Boyd Orr
-
Sir Charles Darwin
-
Sir Julian Huxley
-
Arnold Toynbee,
...all of whom were devoted white supremacists.
In 1965, Russell Train was added to the
Board of Advisors, and later became president.
This new brand of Malthusianism was presented to the world in apocalyptic
terms. No longer was it simply an apology for permitting poverty and famine;
now the entire human race was threatened with extinction because we had
taken technology too far, we had developed too quickly.
Paul Ehrlich, as fanatical as they come,
published his concoction of fascist psychobabble,
The Population Bomb, in 1968.
His argument went as follows:
"A cancer is an uncontrolled multiplication
of cells; the population explosion is an uncontrolled multiplication of
people. We must shift our efforts from the treatment of the symptoms to
the cutting out of the cancer. The operation will demand many apparently
brutal and heartless decisions.''
In 1961, Sir Julian Huxley, by then,
president of the Eugenics Society of Great Britain, in collaboration
with Britain's Prince Philip, founded the World Wildlife Fund
(WWF), the first president of which was the former card-carrying
Nazi, Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands.
Bernhard was succeeded in 1976 by John Loudon,
the former CEO of Royal Dutch Shell and chairman of Shell Oil Co.

British Royal Consort
Prince Philip, cofounder of the World
Wildlife Fund, has been a leading organizer of the movement for
global depopulation since at least the early 1960s. He's fond of
talking of
being reincarnated as a "deadly virus" to deal with the
population problem. |
Prince Bernhard of the
Netherlands, recently deceased, cofounded
the World Wildlife Fund with Philip, and used his position to carry
out wide-spread genocide in Africa.
|
Prince Philip would take the helm from 1981
until 1996.
The WWF, as documented extensively by EIR (see "The
true story behind the fall of the House of Windsor,'' a Special
Report by EIR, 1997), was involved in countless acts of genocide, poaching
and drug running, assassinations, coups, and launching scores of conflicts.
Prince Philip, one of the key environmentalist
ringleaders throughout the entire post-war period, has provided the world
with plenty of evidence indicating his true nature:
"You cannot keep a bigger flock of sheep
than you are capable of feeding. In other words conservation may involve
culling in order to keep a balance between the relative numbers in each
species within any particular habitat. I realize this is a very touchy
subject, but the fact remains that mankind is part of the living world.
Every new acre brought into cultivation means another acre denied to
wild species.''
Philip later claimed, as reported in Deutsche
Presse Agentur in 1988, with all the goodness of his heart, that were he
reincarnated, he would like to return as a deadly virus, in order to
contribute something to solve overpopulation.
In 1967, Prince Philip, Prince Bernhard and Maurice Strong formed the
secretive
1001 Club, to finance the operations of the
WWF as well as other covert projects that the WWF was carrying out in
Africa. The Club comprises members of the most ancient and powerful families
of Europe and the British Commonwealth.
Strong, a top-echelon British-Canadian
operative, was one of the three most influential members, along with Philip
and Sir Peter Scott, and has played a critical role over the past 40
years in promoting the globalist agenda of world government. From the early
1960s onward, Strong was a friend of, and collaborating closely with, the
Rockefeller family, the third generation of which had taken an unusually
passionate interest in environmentalism; in 1971, Strong became a trustee of
the Rockefeller Foundation, a position he held for many years, guiding the
Foundation's money in directions he deemed fit.
Later, in the 1980s, he sat on the Democratic
National Committee, a position from which he could conveniently mentor the
younger Al Gore, whose only other friend in those lonely years, was the
ingrate and political whore, Joe Lieberman.
In 1967, the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) was created by
the CF to begin a series of aggressive campaigns, typified by the
unconscionable attack on the insecticide DDT, which was not based in the
slightest on science. The Natural Resources Defense Council, created
in 1970, also participated in this outrage.
William Ruckelshaus, the administrator of
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) who made the
decision in opposition to the advice and findings of his own staff, had ties
to the EDF, and later went on to hold numerous important positions, such as
his current position of the board of trustees of the World Resources
Institute, as well as a stint as the top administrator of the United
Nations Development Program.
The People Are the
Enemy
Despite the environmentalist movement's 25 years of campaigning, the belief
that everything related to science, progress, and technology was evil had
not fully taken root. The general population still understood the role of
scientific progress in the economy, and only a few years had passed since
the Moon landing. What changed was the economy.
At the same time Nixon was dutifully wrecking the Bretton Woods System,
the
Club of Rome released its infamous report,
Limits to Growth, which picked up the thread of Paul Ehrlich's
thesis, that human overpopulation was a looming threat to civilization.
This message was repeated at the 1972 Stockholm Conference, which was
presided over by Maurice Strong.
Elaine Dewar reports in her book,
Cloak of Green (1995) that,
"as the Stockholm Conference opened in 1972,
Strong warned urgently about the onset of global warming, the
devastation of forests, the loss of biodiversity, the polluted oceans,
and the population time bomb.
As I read this old speech, I realized it
could almost be repeated at the Rio Summit.''
Then, in 1973, the first oil shocks hit, with
prices jumping 400% in the space of a few months, compliments of British
imperial agent, Henry Kissinger.
While this was traumatic enough in the West, in
the rest of the world it was a catastrophe; for not only had the price
quadrupled in American dollars, but many nations, previously subjected to
the
IMF's notorious conditionalities,
which often included massive currency devaluations, saw the price of oil
rise even more drastically.
The financial resources that had been available
for development projects were quickly sucked into the ballooning world
petroleum trade. Suddenly the idea that resources were becoming scarce
seemed all too real, while the pessimism accompanying the CCF-spawned
counterculture combined with the post-oil shock depression, prompted people
into adopting a little-man ideology of "look out for number one'' and
"protect your own.''
It was also in this period that
Henry Kissinger, commissioned the
murderous 1974 report,
NSSM 200, echoing the Hitler's words to
Lothian, by advocating population control in place of industrialization; the
report continues even now to be official government policy.
Anthropologist Margaret Mead,
shown here at a 1978
"Sun Day" celebration in New York City,
was explicit on the goals of
the environmental movement:
She called for scientists to
issue "artificial warnings"
that would scare people into
adopting
conservation and depopulation measures.
As an extension of this emerging, official
policy orientation of the U.S.A., and the words of Strong at Stockholm,
Margaret Mead told scientists assembled for a 1975 conference on "The
Atmosphere: Endangered or Endangering,'' that the party line was shifting
from what scientific analysis had correctly identified as a process of
global cooling which had begun in the 1940s, to global warming.
In a complete disregard for truth and principle,
she said,
"The unparalleled increase in the human
population and its demands for food, energy, and resources is clearly
the most important destabilizing influence in the biosphere. We are
facing a period when society must make decisions on a planetary scale.
"What we need from scientists are estimates, presented with sufficient
conservatism and plausibility that will allow us to start building a
system of artificial, but effective warnings, warnings which will
parallel the instincts of animals which flee the hurricane. [We must]
draw from the necessary capacity for sacrifice. It is therefore a
statement of major possibilities of danger, which may overtake
humankind, on which it is important to concentrate attention.''
Many scientists, having attended that conference
warning of the potential for a new ice age, left the conference promoting
global warming.
Over the subsequent years, a number of environmentalist groups began to make
their presence known, through acts of eco-terrorism, and a series of
calculated hoaxes, such as the ozone and Alar scares, acid rain, and global
warming.
One of the most devastating campaigns run by
these fanatics was that against commercial nuclear power, in which
Congressman Dick Cheney, during the Carter Administration, played a
central role. Meanwhile, the world economy was slipping further into crisis;
In 1979 Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker sent interest rates
skyrocketing, while Western industries collapsed more rapidly than ever, and
a debt bomb was preparing to detonate in the developing sector.
British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, a fanatical Mont Pelerin
ideologue, enacted savage measures of deregulation and privatization in
Great Britain, while one of her top advisors, Sir Crispin Tickell,
British ambassador to the UN from 1987-1990, who was the cousin of New Age
lunatic Aldous Huxley and great-great-grandson of Thomas Huxley, advised
Thatcher to promote global warming and population reduction.
The Third World, despite the usurious
conditionalities being forced upon them, was not giving up the struggle
to develop.
Thomas Lovejoy, vice-president of the
American branch of the WWF, typified the response of the financiers to this
desire in 1984:
"The biggest problem is the damn national
sectors of these developing countries. These countries think that they
have the right to develop their resources as they see fit. They want to
become powers''
With the stock market collapse of 1987, the
international financiers were forced to escalate their looting operations to
keep the entire monetary system from collapsing.
In order to do so, and to convince developing
nations that backwardness was to their advantage, several initiatives were
launched: Thatcher organized the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC) and appointed John Houghton co-chairman. He
also held the position of Chairman of Scientific Assessment until
2002.
Sept. 27, 1988, in a speech to the Royal
Society of London, replete with lies, Thatcher said:
"For generations we have assumed that the
efforts of mankind would leave the fundamental equilibrium of the
world's systems and atmosphere stable. But it is possible that with all
these enormous changes (population, agricultural, use of fossil fuels)
concentrated into such a short period of time, we have unwittingly begun
a massive experiment with the system of this planet itself.
Recently, three changes in atmospheric
chemistry have become familiar subjects of concern. The first is the
increase in the greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide, methane, and
chlorofluorocarbons, which has led some to fear that we are creating a
global heat trap which could lead to climatic instability.
And half the carbon emitted since the
Industrial Revolution remains in the atmosphere. We have an extensive
research program at our meteorological office for the study of climate
change.''
At the same time as the launching of the IPCC,
Gore, on behalf of and in conjunction with the British Crown, was
organizing GLOBE (the group addressed last month by Paul Wolfowitz).

The Eco-Fascist Al Gore In His Own
Words
Included below are selections from Al Gore's book,
Earth in the
Balance: Ecology and the Human Spirit.
The Earth is like a living being, or a goddess, according to Gore,
whose livable surface is its skin, its most important organ. He
equates mankind's relationship to nature to rape, or the rampages of
the Nazis across Europe.
Modern industrial civilization is the
equivalent of a dysfunctional family of drunks and drug addicts
which abuses its own children, and the radical ecology movement is
the modern-day resistance movement against the "real" fascism, that
is, "production and consumption."
Gore claims:
• That the under-populated
continent of Africa is dying due to overpopulation, not looting:
"[The countries of Africa] are already putting great strains on
their natural resources and threatening the integrity
of their ecological systems, so it is truly frightening to
imagine the impact of doubling or tripling their numbers - not
to mention the pitiful quality of life these extra scores of
millions can expect. Already new epidemics - from cholera to
AIDS - have emerged in societies knocked off balance by rapid
population growth and the consequent disruption of their
traditional patterns of living and the degradation of their
surrounding environment."
• That the fourteenth-century "Black Death" spread of bubonic
plague was due to "climate change," in Europe and China, not the
economic collapse due to the failure of the oligarchical banking
system of Europe:
"Just before the Black Death, poor weather and crop failures
caused widespread malnutrition and increased susceptibility to
disease... One year earlier, as a result of the same global
climate changes that produced constant rains in Europe,
unusually heavy rainfall in China caused the repeated Yellow
River floods."
• That the answer to the question, "what is your life worth?" is
two trees:
"The Pacific Yew [tree] can be cut
down and processed to produce a potent chemical, taxol, which
offers some promise of curing certain forms of lung, breast and
ovarian cancer in patients who would quickly die. It seems an
easy choice - sacrifice the tree for a human life - until one
learns that three trees must be destroyed for each patient
treated... Suddenly, we must confront some tough questions. How
important are the medical needs of future generations? Are those
of us alive today entitled to cut down all those trees to extend
the lives of a few of us, even if it means that this unique form
of life will disappear forever, thus making it impossible to
save human lives in the future?"
• That the pre-Christian, Mother Earth cults were more
"environmentally friendly" than the Western monotheistic
religions:
"The prevailing ideology of belief
in prehistoric Europe and much of the world was based on the
worship of a single earth goddess, who radiated harmony among
all living things...
"Its best documented tenet seems to have been a reverence for
the sacredness of the earth - and a belief in the need for
harmony among all living things; other aspects of the faith are
less clear, and it is probable that many barbaric practices
accompanied the more benign beliefs.
"...It seems obvious that a better understanding of a religious
heritage preceding our own by so many thousands of years could
offer us new insights into the nature of human experience."
• That manufacturers, producers, and industrial workers are the
moral equivalents of drug addicts: "Industrial civilization's
great engines of distraction still seduce us with a promise of
fulfillment. Our new power to work our will upon the world can
bring with it a sudden rush of exhilaration, not unlike the
momentary 'rush' experienced by drug addicts when a drug
injected into their blood stream triggers changes in the
chemistry of the brain. But that exhilaration is fleeting; it is
not true fulfillment. And the metaphor of drug addiction applies
in another way too. Over time, a drug user needs a progressively
larger dose to produce an equivalent level of exhilaration;
similarly, our civilization seems to require an ever increasing
level of consumption."

Maurice Strong, who was already a close
acquaintance of Gore, told EIR in a 1999 interview that,
"he was very active in the [GLOBE] movement,
and, in fact, was instrumental in helping to form [it]. He was the
original co-chairman and the driving force in getting it moving. Al was
very influential around the world for this.''
The key financial affiliations of GLOBE indicate
its genocidal and rapacious agenda: the British imperial assets
Anglo-American and British Petroleum.
Strong, who chaired the Rio Summit,
continued:
"Gore was very active in the U.S. political
movement to endorse [the 1992 Rio Summit] and to get it approved by the
United Nations. And, then, subsequently, he was extremely active in
helping to shape its agenda and helping to assure that it got the
attention that it did.''
It was in 1992 that Gore published his
Malthusian diatribe, Earth in the Balance: Ecology and the Human Spirit,
in which he advocated mass population reduction by as many as two billions
(see above box).
From the late 1980s onward, the British and their global web of agents and
organizations, would drive the issue of climate change to the forefront of
international politics. Tickell at the UN would be instrumental in this, as
would Gore in the United States; Maurice Strong, from within the UN, would
mobilize entire national bureaucracies.
All of these men, in conjunction with Prince
Philip's 1001 Club, were also promoting the pagan doctrine of the Gaea
"Mother Earth'' cult as a new form of global religion to replace the
"outdated'' Judeo-Christian concept of man as made in the creative image of
God.
Elaine Dewar, in Cloak of Green, noted the impact of the Rio
Conference, chaired by Strong, as a watershed in the fight over global
warming and the world economy:
"The Rio Summit would take long steps
towards a world in which nation states have withered away in favor of
supranational and global institutions. Advertised as the World's
Greatest Summit, Rio was publicly described as a global negotiation to
reconcile the need for environmental protection with the need for
economic growth.
The cognoscenti understood that there were other,
deeper goals.
These involved the shift of national
regulatory powers to vast regional authorities; the opening of all
remaining closed national economies to multinational interests; the
strengthening of decision making structures far above and far below the
grasp of newly minted national democracies; and, above all, the
integration of the Soviet and Chinese into the global market system''
It was Strong, who at this summit declared that
industrialized nation-states, and in particular the United States, posed the
greatest threat to humankind, and therefore, humanity had an obligation to
destroy them:
"The concept of national sovereignty has
been an immutable, indeed sacred, principle of international relations.
It is a principle which will yield only slowly and reluctantly to the
new imperatives of global environmental cooperation.
It is simply not
feasible for sovereignty to be exercised unilaterally by individual
nation states, however powerful.
The global community must be assured of
environmental security.'' Later he continued, "Isn't the only hope for
the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn't it our
responsibility to bring [this] about?''
The 1990s were the period of Al Gore's
treasonous Vice Presidency. Gore took advantage of this opportunity to
push the same radical Malthusian policies he shared with Prince Philip.
As Maurice Strong acknowledged,
"On these issues [of environmentalism] they
are very much soul mates. [Their relationship is] one of mutual regard
and respect. I would say its as close as it could be with personalities
of that kind.''
Gore certainly demonstrated his desire to wipe
out as much of humanity as possible; as when South African President
Thabo Mbeki, to counter the decimating AIDS epidemic, announced that
South Africa would produce generic versions of whatever AIDS and HIV
medicines were available.
The deliberate policy of
denying development to Africa is leading to epidemics, such as
AIDS, which will, if unchecked, depopulate the continent, just as Prince
Philip and his
cohorts want. Here, a Tanzanian woman and her children remember the woman's
husband, who died of AIDS.
Gore threatened Mbeki in person, that if
Africans did not buy the impossibly expensive patented medications, South
Africa would suffer the consequences.
It was also Al Gore who authorized the
bombing of a pharmaceutical plant in Sudan, which supplied that nation
with 90% of its medicine, without any justification other than
unsubstantiated claims that the plant was controlled by al-Qaeda.
Protecting the environment was simply another
means for Gore to pursue his schemes for massive population reduction, all
in the tradition of Julian Huxley, Fairfield Osborn, and the white
supremacist families of the British Empire.
Gore continues to be a disaster for civilization: Everything that is wrong
with this world is embodied in his porcine hulk. Anyone who supports or
condones the policies of Al Gore, the IPCC, or the environmentalist
movement, is supporting fascism and genocide on a heretofore unseen scale.
If Al Gore and financiers such as Felix
Rohatyn are not stopped, if the current batch of spineless populists in
the Congress refuse to recognize that their lunatic policies will bring
about a new dark age for the entire planet, then this civilization is
doomed.
But, perhaps we can take Gore's advice on one point:
Since, as LaRouche has noted, we have an
atrocious "surplus'' of oligarchs, while the Madagascar lemur colony
does stand in desperate need of repopulating....
