Verified Purchase

In a world where the newspapers and TV news give you the squabbles of politicos, to find out what is really going on subjects have to be researched. Despite the lack of coverage of what the NGOs are telling what policy our political class to set, organizations like the 'Club of Rome' still want to leave evidence of their legacy. For those who want to step out of the well crafted illusion that we live our lives in, this is a great place to start.

For anyone interested in this book with respect to the events of 2020 - you’re on target. Many of the events orchestrated upon us in 2020 are the means to the end according to the designs of this book. You do your research.

Global Baloney Goblins's "Gotcha" -- You're It, Humanity! Watch Out!

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2009

This book, written in 1991, precedes the attack of September 11, 2001 and George Herbert Walker Bush's speech about a New World Order yet is part and parcel of an open conspiracy to control the entire globe through One World Governance on international, national, regional, provincial and local levels by creating fear of imminent catastrophe regarding the pseudo-scientific notion of global warming along with such other threats as pollution, over-population, poverty, and biological pandemics.

Speaking as if the purpose of the Plan were indeed noble, as if the authors and the Club of Rome were magnanimously concerned about freedom, human rights, and real men and women as against corrupt bureaucrats, corrupt governments, wars, greed and selfishness, the book plainly and scarily states that the world, being in such dire straits, aware, in particular, that Western civilization's values are crumbling, needs a "common enemy" to unite all of us inhabiting this planet. "[W]e came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill." It further states that because all these so-called dangers are caused by human intervention, the "real enemy" then is "humanity itself." [Page 115 of the first edition]

This open but conspiratorial plan acknowledges that there is no hard scientific data supporting "the idea" of global warming, although it asserts there is agreement (among whom?) about general "trends." [Page 50]. However, "the idea" serves as an excellent means of rousting all planetary citizens to become united under a kind of new religion whereby each individual is willing to sacrifice for the good of the whole -- in order to save humanity.

The implications for the Plan in this book are totally frightening and disturbing. The authors have spent a good deal of time finding means to use the right language and locate the precise reasons that could inflame a multiplicity of conflicting circumstances into a searing conflagration whereby individual dissenters of the Plan would be made to seem unforgivably nationalistic, greedy, selfish, reckless, and unethical should they reject worldwide collectivism, a one world governance established to help save man against himself. (Sustainable development, in the context of this book, means minimal materialism combined with obedience to and cooperation with the world state: your property rights are gone.)

* * *
12/14/14 - Originally, in 2009, I gave this book only 1 star because the truth it tells is very ugly indeed and I could not praise what I learned from reading the book, but if the truth hurts, is it truth's fault? No. The message is very bad, but unless you know the truth, you can't do anything good to help yourself, your loved ones, and humanity. So the book gets five stars, for revealing in full the ugly truth about how we are being played for suckers.

Elites, running the world, whether it's aristocracy or ...

Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2014

Elites, running the world, whether it's aristocracy or Komradocracy, the end result is the same, pristine forests protected for the few (the King's preserve only with biologists as courtiers) and starvation and need for everyone else. Protection of individual rights rather than group rights, the individual instead of the Borg... this book is all about the Borg and how and why we need to achieve it.

Discredited "science"

Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2009

If I read the previous two reviews correctly, why is this book getting their good marks? Am I reading the book incorrectly? I don't think so...the authors appear to be promoting a scheme in order to manipulate world politics, and one based upon faulty "science" at that. CO2 is no dangerous chemical, and if one studies the SCIENCE, increased CO2 lags warming. The climate of our planet has been changing, without our help, since it was formed. The main thrust of the global warming crowd is obviously to control specific countries (need I spell them out?) and world government. The old axiom applies: Follow the money.

The quote is real. page 86 in the pdf; page 75 in the actual pub.

Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2009

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.
