WHO IS MAURICE STRONG ? .... Leading his New-Age flock to
United Religions of the UN
[ Maurice ] Strong is an advocate of world governance via the
United Nations,
and Spiritual Governance via the Temple of
Understanding in New York City ( next to UN )
and Environmental-governance via the Earth Charter and
Gaia Covenant and the Ark of Hope .
He owns a Buddist Meditation Ranch of 100,000 acres in Colorado (
right over the Ogalala Aquafier ...yes,
he is a billionaire Water-Baron ..... and Oil Baron .... just an
average kind of guy )
A quote from Maurice Strong ......
"isn't the only hope
for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse?
Isn't it our responsibility to bring that about?"
M.
Strong -- 77 in 2007
Strong, now 77, is best known as the godfather of the
environmental movement, who served from 1973-1975 as the founding
director of the U.N.
Environment Program (UNEP) in Nairobi. UNEP is now a
globe-girdling organization with a yearly budget of $136 million,
which claims to act as the world’s environmental conscience.
Strong consolidated his eco-credentials as the organizer of the
U.N.’s 1992 environmental summit in Rio de Janeiro, which in
turn paved the way for the controversial 1997 Kyoto Treaty on
controlling greenhouse gas emissions

Head of Earth Council ... changing the world from cozy to
nosey
Behind UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan stands the powerful
Canadian multi-billionaire Maurice Strong. The
founder of both the World Economic Council and Planetary
Citizens, he has served as director of the World
Future Society, trustee of the Rockefeller
Foundation and Aspen Institute, and a
member of the Club of Rome. As head
of the Earth Council, he began to prepare an Earth
Charter—a global code of conduct
based on global values and radical environmental guidelines.
Strong led the 1992 "Earth
Summit" in Rio de Janeiro (United Nations Conference
on Environment and Development). It produced the controversial Biodiversity
Treaty and Agenda 21
— the monstrous plan for reorganizing the world along
environmental guidelines. One of his offices is only
two blocks away from the White House.

Fascist Economics
( Government and business in partnership)
Arch-Socialist
Articles pertaining to the Strong-Martin relationship ( Prime
Minister of Canada, Paul Martin ) by Lorne Gunter from the
Edmonton Journal :
"The announcement last week that Martin was
courting Maurice Strong -- the first president of
Petro-Canada and the godfather of the
Kyoto accord -- to be senior environment adviser
in the Prime Minister's Office is more than concrete enough to
eradicate any and all goodwill Martin's comforting words to date
may have purchased.
"Strong may not have been present at the birth of the National
Energy Program in 1980; but as the founding president,
chairman and CEO of Petro-Can from
1976-78, he was there at its conception.
Strong has been seen as a business genius,
even a new breed of executive who combined social justice and
environmental concern with making a buck
part1
and
"Everything that is wrong can, in Strong's mind, be traced
to three sources -- industrialization, wealth and free markets.
I'd add a fourth -- Christianity
-- except Strong never quite comes out and blames it for the
world's ills. He merely hints at it with statements such as:
"We are all gods now, gods in charge of
our own destiny," which he made in his
autobiographical 2000 book "Where on Earth are We Going
?"

Microscoping Maurice Strong
"McDonald went on to describe Strong as "a cross
between Rasputin and Machiavelli", "the Michelangelo of
networking" and an "international traveling salesman
with buts of paper in his pocket".
"It is weird that Strong advocates for world
depopulation schemes; tells the unwashed
masses that both refrigeration and air conditioning are going to
wipe out Mother Earth. It’s weird that as a practicing New
Ager, Strong dabbles in the occult.
Weird is that he didn’t know one of the
largest American aquifers was sitting right
under the 100,000-acre Baca Ranch in
Colorado, he ran as a New Age Mecca with his wife Hanne,
and that he came to acquire the property through Saudi arms
dealer Adnan Koshoggi. "

"The Adventures of Maurice
Strong & Co."
By Ronald Bailey Published in The
National Review September 1, 1997
Mr. Bailey is a freelance journalist and television producer in
Washington, D.C. He is author of
Eco-Scam: The
False Prophets of Ecological Apocalypse
(St. Martin's) and
The True State of
the Planet (Free Press).
Maurice Strong, of course. Never
heard of him? Well, you should have.
Militia members are famously worried that black helicopters
are practicing maneuvers with blue-helmeted UN troops in a plot
to take over America. But the actual peril is more subtle. A
small cadre of obscure international bureaucrats are hard at work
devising a system of "global governance" that is slowly
gaining control over ordinary Americans' lives. Maurice
Strong, a 68-year-old Canadian (1997), is the "indispensable
man" at the center of this creeping UN power grab.
(2006...77 years old)
"He's dangerous because he's a much smarter and shrewder man
[than many in the UN system]," comments Charles Lichenstein,
deputy ambassador to the UN under President Reagan.
"I think he is a very dangerous ideologue, way over to the
Left."
COLORADO BACA RANCH ( Ed: conveniently
over the Ogalala Aquafier )
After a couple of years, Strong left Petro-Canada for
various business deals, including one with Adnan Khashoggi
through which he ended up owning the 200,000-acre
Baca ranch in Colorado, now a "New
Age" center run by his wife, Hanne.
So Strong gave political contributions (of dubious legality) to
both parties; George Bush, now a friend, intervened to
help him stay in charge of the Rio conference; he was thereby
enabled to set a deep green agenda there; and Bush took a
political hit in an election year. An instructive tale -- if it
is not part of Strong's mythmaking.
It's not a conspiracy, of course:
just a group of like-minded people fighting to save the world
from less prescient and more selfish forces -- namely, market
forces. And though the crises change
-- World War II in the Forties, fear of the atom bomb in the
Fifties, the "energy crisis" in the Seventies -- the
Left's remedy is always the same:
a greater role for international agencies.
Another example of how this selection process operates
was the "great civil society forum" convened at the
behest of Strong's Earth
Council and Mikhail Gorbachev's Green Cross
International this past March. Some five hundred
delegates met, supposedly to assess the results of the Earth
Summit, but in reality to condemn the "inaction" of
signatory countries in implementing the Rio treaties. The
delegates were selected through a process based on national
councils for sustainable development, themselves set up pursuant
to the Earth Summit. Membership in these councils means that an
organization is already persuaded of the global environmental
crisis. So you can bet that the process did not yield many
delegates representing business
or advocating limits on government power.
Management over "
global commons "
ANOTHER CGG recommendation is that the old UN Trusteeship Council
"be given a new mandate over the global commons." It
defines the global commons to include the atmosphere, outer
space, the oceans beyond national jurisdiction, and the related
environmental systems that contribute to the support of human
life.
A new Trusteeship Council would oversee "the management of
the commons, including development and use of their resources . .
. [and] the administration of environmental treaties in such
fields as climate change, biodiversity, outer space, and the Law
of the Sea."
MEGA LAND-GRABS
Yellowstone has been designated a "World
Heritage Site."
the greater good outweighs
your rights, values and concerns (collectivism)
He continues:
"If you put yourself in a larger unit,
of course, you get some advantages and you give up some of your
freedom. And that's what's happening in
Europe, that the states of Europe have decided that overall
they're better off to create a structure in which they give up
some of their national rights and exercise them collectively
through the Union."
This example of the European Union, however,
worries Ambassador Lichenstein.
The EU's bureaucracy in Brussels, he complains, "is
responsible to no one.
Governments get together -- foreign ministers, finance ministers
-- they presumably hand down the guidelines, but don't kid
yourself, the bureaucrats are running things."
