Perhaps the naive will educate themselves.

No, they won't. I posted them for those who already know the score, so they can make their own preparations. This government and most of this society is already down the tubes, I'm afraid.

What country do you think we need to watch most right now? I asked this question on another thread a year ago. Not one person got it right. Recent news might give some a clue. Here's another one. It's the same country that needed to be watched the last two times.

Where is Maurice Strong?

Alive and well in planet earth!

Publicist for International Environmentalism

How has Strong promoted concepts like sustainable development to consume the world's attention? Mainly by using his prodigious skills as a networker. Over a lifetime of mixing private sector career success with stints in government and international groups, Strong has honed his networking abilities to perfection. He can bring presidents, prime ministers and potentates from the world's four corners to big environmental conferences such as the 1992 Rio Summit, an environmental spectacle organized by Strong and attended by more than 100 heads of state.

...and hard at work.

I was afraid of that.
Last I heard he was working at the UN as an advisor to Anal, Annam, or whatever the heck that socialist nuts name is.
Reading Strong speeches gives me nightmares.

With today's emphasis on "honoring the past and imagining the future,"[5] many see nothing wrong with redesigning the "memories" of the past to reflect their vision of the future. Many environmental visionaries have called for "new stories"[6] that replace the old truths and redirect our values. The message in this new ark serves the purpose well. It puts new meaning into old memories and usurps the honor inherent in the original. But that's part of the UN plan. There is little appreciation for God's law and His treasured covenant (the binding agreement He made with His people long ago)[7] in our pluralistic, postmodern age.

To fill the vacuum, even staunch Communists such as Mikhail Gorbachev call for spiritual revival. They envision a union of religions, all molded and conformed to a global, earth-centered spirituality. The gods, spirits and pantheistic forces of indigenous religions fit right in. Long a promoter of the Earth Charter and its socialist regulations, the former Soviet ruler knows well that strategic visual images inspire the masses and speed transformation. [See The State of the World according to Gorbachev]

So does Maurice Strong, the powerful founder and leader of the Earth Council. Though usually hidden behind the scenes, Strong is no minor player in this global contest for the minds of the masses. He led the UN Environmental Programme, directed the 1972 and 1992 UN Conferences on the Environment and Development,[8] founded Planetary Citizens, directed the World Future Society and founded and co-chaired the World Economic Forum. He is a member of the Club of Rome, trustee of the Rockefeller Foundation and Aspen Institute, a member of the UN Commission on Global Governance, and Senior Advisor to the World Bank as well as to UN Secretary General Kofi Annan [See Towards A Rapid Reaction Capability for the UN].

Maurice Strong has been working closely with Steven C. Rockefeller, professor emeritus of religion at Middlebury College.[9] Rockefeller has chaired the Earth Charter Drafting Committee since 1995 and has, apparently, linked a part of the Rockefeller fortune to the promotion of the Earth Charter's Initiative. If the Charter wins the consent of "the people," it would only be a matter of time before its rules would replace the rights granted by the U.S. Constitution. American sovereignty and our treasured liberty would fast fade. It's happening already. [See Trading U.S. Rights for UN Rules]

Few globalists have advanced the Earth Charter and its message more zealously than Robert Muller, former Assistant Secretary-General of the UN. He led the design team for UNESCO's Global Education Project and helped pave the way for "lifelong learning" -- a cradle-to-grave education system that has already been implemented in the United States through Clinton's Goals 2000 and the Bush administration's "Leave No Child Behind."

Muller's World Core Curriculum, used as a pattern for learning in nations around the world, matches the spiritual message of the Ark of Hope. Inspired by occultist Alice Bailey's spirit guide, it calls for schooling in planetary citizenship long before a child learns his or her national or local identity.[10]

I first heard Muller promote the Earth Charter on June, 21, 1995 at a UN celebration at the University of California at Berkeley. In his keynote message he described three stages in the history of the United Nations:

1. "The first period took up human rights. ... The UN Charter was for humans, and no one thought of the earth."

2. "By 1980, suddenly climatologists warned us that climate might go berserk. The atmosphere was getting warmer and warmer because of CO2."

3. "This is the third period. Now Earth is number 1. Humanity is number 2. ... Now, we must deal with rights of the planet.... There will be an Earth Charter - I got a letter a few weeks ago from the International Council on Human Duties. It asked how we could have human rights but not human duties and responsibilities. I suggested we put this need as an item on the floor of the UN Assembly. We need a universal declaration of ethics and a universal declarations of duties and responsibilities."

"We need a world court with an ethic to condemn this kind of action," Muller continued, referring to American lifestyles. "We need ethics for..." -- here he listed what he considered the most glaring planetary evils: large families, over-consumption,  garbage, business, religious differences....

I wouldn't misunderestimate Dubya's strategery. I have no doubt he'll out-flank UNESCO, just like he did the UN.
