The Strong Scent of Tyranny By James
L. Hirsen, J.D., Ph.D. Strong has emerged as one of the most powerful and enigmatic
figures on the international scene. He wields considerable influence
in the areas of business and politics. Twenty years ago, The
New Yorker magazine described Maurice Strong as the man upon
whom "the survival of civilization in something like its
present form might depend." In addition, his credentials include membership in the UN
funded Commission on Global Governance. This body's 1995 report
called "Our Global Neighborhood" contained a number
of ominous proposals including the establishment of a global
tax, UN control over "global commons," expansion of
the powers of the World Bank, expansion of the jurisdiction of
the International Court, removal of U.S. veto power in the Security
Council and creation of an Economic Security Council to oversee
the world's economy. Clearly, the implications of such proposals
were intended to move us towards the creation of a world government
infrastructure. Unfortunately, they also necessitate and precipitate
the decline of U.S. sovereignty. Currently, Strong is attempting to control a potential scandal
involving Molten Metal Strong has complained that "the United States is clearly the greatest risk to the world's ecological health" and has forcefully advocated a new economic order based on the redistribution of the developed world's industries and wealth to the Third World. Strong has supported New Age movements in the U.S. and once helped finance a second ark in preparation for the next great flood. His many global activities are orchestrated with the philosophical bent of a long time believer in the establishment of a new world religion. Strong has instituted what is ostensibly the global headquarters
for the New Age movement at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo
Mountains near Crestone, Colorado. He and his wife run the Manitou
Foundation and call this center the "Baca." It is an
international collection of alternative religious beliefs. Located
at this New Age mecca are a subterranean Zen Buddhist center,
the Haidakhrndi Universal Ashram, a facility for Native American
shamans and a Vedic temple where devotees worship the Vedic mother
goddess. UN watchers place Maurice Strong on the top of the short list to become the next Secretary General of the United Nations. No one is better positioned or as well connected to achieve this increasingly powerful position. We can smell it coming. When values decline as they have in the last twenty years, the continuity of civilization requires that a substitute order emerge to insure societal stability. If we are not careful, this substitute could take the form of tyranny. Perhaps even a secretary general with greater powers than any predecessor has heretofore been vested. Sort of a king of the world.
