A quote "In searching for a new enemy to unite us we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like, would fit the bill."

5.0 out of 5 stars The quote is real. page 86 in the pdf; page 75 in the actual pub., June 30, 2009

By	Charles G. Harris (Boston MA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I just wanted to confirm that the quote is real. Page 86 in the pdf; page 75 in the actual pub. However, there is a lot more info in the document. It is interesting to see how long these people have been trying to scheme to get a more centralized undemocratic method of controlling humanity.
