- The Strong Scent of Tyranny
by James Hirsen
(hirsen@earthlink.net)
-
-
- Once upon a time, his name was cautiously
whispered within the dark confines of a militia group meeting or two. Today,
Maurice Strong is up front and center in at least two recently published
mainstream magazines. In September of last year, Mr. Strong was the subject
of a cover story in National Review. Amazingly, the first feature story
of 1998 in Forbes stars this same ascending world figure.
-
- Strong has emerged as one of the most
powerful and enigmatic figures on the international scene. He wields considerable
influence in the areas of business and politics. Twenty years ago, The
New Yorker magazine described Maurice Strong as the man upon whom "the
survival of civilization in something like its present form might depend."
-
- As of late, this billionaire Canadian
businessman works simultaneously for the United Nations as Senior Advisor
to the UN Secretary General and for the Rockefeller and Rothschild's Trusts.
He is Director of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature,
Senior Adviser to the President of the World Bank, Chairman of the Earth
Council, Chairman of the World Resources Institute and Co-Chairman of the
Council of the World Economic Forum. He was Secretary General of the 1972
Earth Summit in Stockholm and the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro.
-
- In addition, his credentials include
membership in the UN funded Commission on Global Governance. This body's
1995 report called "Our Global Neighborhood" contained a number
of ominous proposals including the establishment of a global tax, UN control
over "global commons," expansion of the powers of the World Bank,
expansion of the jurisdiction of the International Court, removal of U.S.
veto power in the Security Council and creation of an Economic Security
Council to oversee the world's economy. Clearly, the implications of such
proposals were intended to move us towards the creation of a world government
infrastructure. Unfortunately, they also necessitate and precipitate the
decline of U.S. sovereignty.
-
- Strong's business arrangements have been
equally convoluted and diverse. His dealings have involved major U.S. oil
interests as well as influential power brokers including Saudi arms merchant
Adnan Kashoggi and Canada's Power Corporation.
-
- Currently, Strong is attempting to control
a potential scandal involving Molten Metal Technology, a hazardous waste
firm known for its ties to Vice President Al Gore. Molten Metals has surfaced
in the Senate hearings on campaign financing due to questionable contributions
made to Gore's campaigns.
-
- Strong has complained that "the
United States is clearly the greatest risk to the world's ecological health"
and has forcefully advocated a new economic order based on the redistribution
of the developed world's industries and wealth to the Third World.
-
- Strong has supported New Age movements
in the U.S. and once helped finance a second ark in preparation for the
next great flood. His many global activities are orchestrated with the
philosophical bent of a long time believer in the establishment of a new
world religion.
-
- Strong has instituted what is ostensibly
the global headquarters for the New Age movement at the foot of the Sangre
de Cristo Mountains near Crestone, Colorado. He and his wife run the Manitou
Foundation and call this center the "Baca." It is an international
collection of alternative religious beliefs. Located at this New Age mecca
are a subterranean Zen Buddhist center, the Haidakhrndi Universal Ashram,
a facility for Native American shamans and a Vedic temple where devotees
worship the Vedic mother goddess.
-
- The Rockefellers, the McNamaras, the
Kissingers, the Rothschilds and other international bureaucrats conduct
regular pilgrimages to this center for global spirituality.
-
- UN watchers place Maurice Strong on the
top of the short list to become the next Secretary General of the United
Nations. No one is better positioned or as well connected to achieve this
increasingly powerful position.
-
- We can smell it coming. When values decline
as they have in the last twenty years, the continuity of civilization requires
that a substitute order emerge to insure societal stability. If we are
not careful, this substitute could take the form of tyranny. Perhaps even
a secretary general with greater powers than any predecessor has heretofore
been vested. Sort of a king of the world.

-
- "The concept of national sovereignty...is
a principle which will yield only slowly and reluctantly to the new imperatives
of global environmental cooperation."
-
- "...the reality that...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. The imperatives of global environmental cooperation
will require a vast strengthening of the multilateral system, including
the United Nations.
-
- "...the world needs the United Nations
today more than ever. If it did not exist, it would have to be invented.
-
- "The concept of national sovereignty...is
a principle which will yield only slowly and reluctantly to the new imperatives
of global environmental cooperation."

- ...from an interview entitled "The
Wizard Of the Baca Grande," which Maurice Strong conducted with WEST
magazine of Alberta, Canada May 1990.
-
- Strong concluded the interview with a
thought-provoking, apocalyptic story from a novel he says he would like
to write:
-
- "Each year the World Economic Forum
convenes in Davos, Switzerland. Over a thousand CEOs, prime ministers,
finance ministers, and leading academics gather in February to attend meetings
and set the economic agendas for the year ahead.
-
- "What if a small group of these
word leaders were to conclude that the principle risk to the earth comes
from the actions of the rich countries? And if the world is to survive,
those rich countries would have to sign an agreement reducing their impact
on the environment. Will they do it? Will the rich countries agree to reduce
their impact on the environment? Will they agree to save the earth?
-
- "The group's conclusion is 'no.'
The rich countries won't do it. They won't change. So, in order to save
the planet, the group decides: isn't the only hope for the planet that
the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn't it our responsibility
to bring that about?
-
- "This group of world leaders form
a secret society to bring about a world collapse. It's February.
-
- "They're all at Davos.
-
- "These aren't terrorists - they're
world leaders.
-
- "They have positioned themselves
in the world's commodity and stock markets.
-
- "They've engineered, using their
access to stock exchanges, and computers, and gold supplies, a panic.
-
- "Then they prevent the markets from
closing. They jam the gears. They have mercenaries who hold the rest of
the world leaders at Davros as hostage.
-
- "The markets can't close.
-
- "The rich countries...?" and
Strong makes a slight motion with his fingers as if he were flicking a
cigarette butt out of the window."
-
- ...This is not *any* story-teller talking.
This is Maurice Strong. He knows these world leaders. He is, in fact, co-chairman
of the Council of the World Economic Forum. He sits at the fulcrum of power.
He is in a position to *do it*"
-
- And he's shaping up fast to become next
Secretary-General of the United Nations....
