The Godfather of Climate Change-Maurice Strong

After much talk about Goldman Sachs, Al Gore, CCX, GIM and other miscreants of the corporate and political world, it’s interesting that the name of Maurice Strong hasn’t surfaced.

In order to understand his role in Crime Inc., maybe this movie clip will put it into perspective:

Maurice Strong is a huge United Nations guy who is a big advocate of the dreaded One World Order conspiracy but, more accurately, is pushing hard along with Al Gore for global environmental regulations which, of course, means cap and trade.

Many believe that Strong is behind the United Nations’ current reputation, which carries with it numerous scandals such as Oil for Food, funneling money to North Korea, shady dealings with Tongsun Park and Kofi Annan, procurement fraud, and rape cover-ups.

Report from 2007 [Strong just turned 81]:

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.

But his green credentials scarcely begin to do justice to Strong’s complicated back-room career. He has spent decades migrating through a long list of high-level U.N. posts, standing behind the shoulder of every U.N. secretary-general since U Thant. Without ever holding elected office, he has had a hand in some of the world’s most important bureaucratic appointments, both at the U.N. and at the World Bank. A Canadian wheeler-dealer with an apple face and pencil mustache, Strong has parlayed his personal enthusiasms and connections into a variety of huge U.N. projects, while punctuating his public service with private business deals.

It would seem as though Maurice Strong and George Soros could be twins separated at birth.  Neither are American citizens by birth but have a strong hand in the current conduct of liberal politics in the United States.  He is also another one of those shadow financiers who is connected to everyone and no one.

If you look up Maurice Strong at muckety.com you will find nothing, however, he has his tentacles in practically everyone at the United Nations, the CCX, the ECX, environmental companies, institutions and grassroots organizations, as well as other shady characters.

After Maurice Strong scurried away during the Annan, Ghali, Park and Oil for Food scandals, he wound up in China, where he currently resides and has even teamed up with Soros to build the “every-man’s” car; the Chery.  Strong, surprisingly, is a partner and good friend to the lovely and ever so talented Mr. Gorbachev.

Maurice Strong’s sister was once a translator for Anita Dunne’s idol, Chairman Mao, and Strong has advised not only the Rockefeller and Rothschild Trusts, which are connected to everything political, but also the World Bank, another partner in the great circle of malfeasance; the CCX.

Maurice Strong has been tracked heavily by the Canadian Free Press, a conservative Canadian publication that doesn’t receive enough credit, in my opinion.

Strong, the silent partner [at CCX], is a man whose name often draws a blank on the Washington cocktail circuit.  Even though a former Secretary General of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (the much hyped Rio Earth Summit) and Under-Secretary General of the United Nations in the days of an Oil-for-Food beleaguered Kofi Annan, the Canadian born Strong is little known in the United States.  That’s because he spends most of his time in China where he has been working to make the communist country the world’s next superpower.

The nondescript Strong, nonetheless is the big cheese in the underworld of climate change and is one of the main architects of the failing Kyoto Protocol.

Full credit for the expose on the business partnership of Strong and Gore in the cap-and-trade reduction scheme should go to the investigative acumen of the Executive Intelligence Review (EIR).

The tawdry tale of the top two global warming gurus in the business world goes all the way back to Earth Day, April 17, 1995 when the future author of “An Inconvenient Truth” traveled to Fall River, Massachusetts, to deliver a green sermon at the headquarters of Molten Metal Technology Inc. (MMTI). MMTI was a firm that proclaimed to have invented a process for recycling metals from waste.  Gore praised the Molten Metal firm as a pioneer in the kind of innovative technology that can save the environment, and make money for investors at the same time.

The Investigative “experts” in the MSM, appeared to have missed the connection between MMTI, the DOE, and Strong.

Upon tracking down several organizations of interest that are mentioned in connection with Maurice Strong, I find that muckety.com does not bring up results, or somebody doesn’t want them to bring up results. Those organizations are the Earth Council Alliance, the University for Peace, or UPEACE, a private entity that Strong used to funnel money to the United Nations, and Oil for Food.

However, the organizations I could find were the United Nations Foundation [a creation of Ted Turner’s] and the Global Environmental Facility, which was the catalyst for the Kyoto Protocol, Agenda 21 and the Rio Conference.

Muckety only connects the GEF to Mohamed El-Ashry, who is associated with Resources for the Future. Resources for the Future has trustees and chairmen like Lawrence Linden and Deutch, who are both partners respectively at Goldman Sachs and Citibank, mega-banks that are involved with the CCX and GIM.

Connecting the dots with CCX:

CCX owes its existence in part to the Joyce Foundation, the Chicago-based liberal foundation that provided $347,000 in grant support in 2000 for a preliminary study to test the viability of a market in carbon credits. On the CCX board of directors is the ubiquitous Maurice Strong, a Canadian industrialist and diplomat who, since the 1970s, has helped create an international policy agenda for the environmentalist movement. Strong has described himself as “a socialist in ideology, a capitalist in methodology.” His former job titles include “senior advisor” to UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, “senior advisor” to World Bank President James Wolfensohn and board member of the United Nations Foundation, a creation of Ted Turner. The [then] 78-year-old Strong is very close to Gore.

CCX has about 80 members that are self-confessed emitters of greenhouse gases. They have voluntarily committed themselves to reduce their emissions by the year 2010 to a level 6% below their emissions in 2000. CCX members include Ford Motor Company, Amtrak, DuPont, Dow Corning, American Electric Power, International Paper, Motorola, Waste Management and a smattering of other companies, along with the states of Illinois and New Mexico, seven cities and a number of universities. Presumably the members “purchase” carbon offsets on the CCX trading exchange. This means they make contributions to or investments in groups or firms that provide forms of “alternative,” “renewable” and “clean” energy.

More about Strong may be understood in this 1972 BBC interview:

In Strong’s own words:

Strong in his statement at the opening session of the Rio Conference (Earth Summit II) stated: “It is clear that current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class – involving high meat intake, consumption of large amounts of frozen and convenience foods, use of fossil fuels, appliances, home and work-place air-conditioning, and suburban housing — are not sustainable.”

Strong stated: “”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.”

The European Union was an experiment, whereby every country lost more of its sovereignty every year, and fortunately, we are seeing the results of that experiment unfold today. The euro is on the brink of collapse because every European country is intertwined in a convoluted web of enablement, debt, and socialism.

So, as much as liberals and progressives decry the wrongs of Capitalism, they really are still involved in the practice, however, rather than being proponents of pure Capitalism as Adam Smith had intended, they want to apply a new form of ‘Selective Capitalism’ that circulates wealth among the already wealthy and the Elite.

It seems to me that half of these wealthy elites are selfish hogs, who are happy that they were able to use the Capitalist system to earn their money, but now that they are content with their piece of the pie, they would prefer to keep it to themselves and shut the doors off to any type of upward mobility for the rest of us, the way real Capitalism should work.

As much as people cringe at the mention of Marxism, because let’s face it, it’s scary to admit it may be true, the same basic philosophy applies. The elite class rules while the middle class is destroyed and the rest remain poor.
