I think it was Gorbachev who said something along the lines of "the green Movement will give us global socialism" or the tools to achieve global socialism, or something.

Search on his name- he has two or three entities in the USA that mostly work with enviro issues.

I've long suspected that he's the driving source behind lots of enviro stuff, but like the CP in the '30s it's way below the radar.

For sure, just like the "peace movement" was founded by socialists and communists in the early 1900's. Here's and excerpt from answers.com:

"Not until about 1900 did several parallel social movements against war and militarism and for pacific inter-nationalism emerge. These included organizations such as the American Union Against Militarism, the Emergency Peace Federation, and the Women's Peace Party, all formed after 1914 to keep the United States out of the European maelstrom. Together with socialist and syndicalist agitation, this represents the first genuine peak of mass peace and antiwar movement activity (1900–1915). Yet with the exception of Jane Addams (who was a key founder of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom in 1920) and Eugene Debs, head of the Socialist Party, there were no prominent founders of the movement, although Randolph Bourne, Norman Thomas, and Emma Goldman were important critics of war. Out of this activity emerged such organizations as the inter-denominational Fellowship of Reconciliation and the largely secular War Resisters League. This activity also spawned the U.S. Communist Party with its ever-shifting peace fronts; the Communist Party's relationship with the peace movement was problematic and often disruptive, though undoubtedly individuals held genuine antimilitarist views. A. J. Muste, who later became a major pacifist leader, was an active Trotskyist in the interwar years."

As I stated in my previous post, it's all about control and power for these people. They use "movements" for their own nefarious designs and have plenty of useful idiots to assist them and repeat their mantras. :-)
