CONSPIRACY OF THE
 LEFT

The information presented here is also available in the Free Book: Global
Governance The University of Texas at Austin, Murchison Chair of Free
Enterprise, Petroleum/CTE 3.168, Austin, Texas, 78712. It is now December of
2017. I searched for this book recently and could not find it. There has been
great progress by these people in the intervening twenty years. The final measure
would have been Hillary Clinton's election. They have not given up. If you have
visited my blog and read Conflict Resolution/Peace Education/Teaching
Tolerance you will understand just how insidiously this agenda has inserted itself
into our communities with acceptance of their agenda. Perhaps seeing how they
all connect might help you understand what we face.

The purpose here is to show the interrelationships of the many prominent forces
determining public policy today. Could it be...a Left Wing Conspiracy?

I posted this information in the 90s when I first started my website. It was just after
Hillary Clinton made the accusation of a "vast right wing conspiracy."

Interestingly, I received an email from John McConnel who claims to be the founder
of Earth Day. You might find that email exchange interesting.

Recently, I resigned from the DAR because I found out the Chapter got points for its
members participating in Earth Day. Since I think this is a part of Gaiea, the world
religion being set up by the globalists of the New World Order, I do not participate
and sincerely regret that intrusion into a patriotic organization of this group that
sponsors doing away with our nation!

Please visit my blog and read the post about Conflict Resolution/Peace
Education/Teaching Tolerance to see the insidious advance of the agenda of these
folks through the New Age techniques promoted by the people listed on this page!
Under the guise of Conflict Resolution!

These names were familiar to me from having studied the book on Global
Governance. George Soros is particularly active these days funding the Open Society
and other Radical groups (including Antifa) with the willing participation of
the Washington Post.

Villages and Cities for All Generations
"Towards a Community for All"
In support of the International Year of Older Persons 1999
February 10 - 11, 1999
United Nations Headquarters - New York City
Conference Background:
As part of a five-year series of interlinked congresses held in cities around
the globe, this conference is organized in coordination with the United
Nations
Secretariat of the International Year of Older Persons and United Nations
Centre for Human Settlements (HABITAT), NGOs and the private sector. It
will be
held in the United Nations during the Commission for Social Development in
Conference Room #4. The Conference will address the following issues:
· What will be the impact of longevity on communities?
· What will the impact of multigenerational communities be on
longevity?
· Will multigenerational communities help people to live longer and more
successful lives?
· How can communities prepare for changing new roles?
· What partnerships can be established between society, government, and
business?
· How can older persons contribute to, and care for, their
communities?
Each month the world’s older population increases by 1.2 million! By 2020, 1.4
billion persons will be over 60, an increase of 240% since 1980 with the
fastest growth in developing countries. By 2025, worldwide life expectancy
will
reach 73 years…a 50% improvement on the 1955 average of only 48 years…a
quality
of life challenge!
Conference highlights will include: an international exhibition and
presentation of architectural and interior design student projects,
"Integrated
Communities: A Society for All Ages;" Public/Private Partnership Luncheon and
Networking Reception, featuring the ICCC awards to eminent world leaders.

strips authority for child-

rearing from parents and
gives it to the government

October 2, 1994 column by Arnold Beichman, Washington Times: "Weeds In the

Child's Garden of Rights." "From Canada a warning voice is heard against
ratification of a UN covenant which could 'advance a radical agenda' focused on
parental authority and the normal historic family of Western society."

"In November 1989, the UN General Assembly adopted a convention, the language
of which was replete with the kind of pieties so useful to avant-garde social
engineers who want a new world order reflecting their weltanschauung. The UN
declaration stressed the rights of children to be raised 'in a spirit of peace, dignity,
tolerance, freedom, equality and
solidarity.' Who could argue against so majestic a declaration, so luscious a sugar-
coated package? But the devil is in the details, the subsidiary clauses, the
bureaucratic guidelines --and that is the alarm which the Canadian magazine,
'Western Report,' published in Vancouver, was sounding."

[Remember that the Clintons have vowed to get this 'convention' implemented in the
U.S. by hook or by crook--by legislation or Executive Order or by step-by-step
agency regulations...??]

In 1990 there was the UN World Summit for Children. "The 'Summit' attended by
representatives from 71 states [remember the UN refers to countries as "states"],
promulgated a world declaration comprising 54 articles calling upon governments
everywhere to place the rights of children high on the national agenda. Without a
word to the Canadian House of Commons or the people of Canada, Prime Minister
Mulroney signed the UN pronouncement and created a Children's Bureau, a new
billion-dollar bureaucracy to administer his unilateral commitment." [Deja vu, Red,
White and Blue copycat, 1999??]

"As is usual in radical blueprints for remaking the world, many of the declaration's
provisions are unexceptional ... Taken out of context, warns the 'Western Report'
writer, Celeste McGovern, 'the document's ambiguous phrasing raises some red
flags.'"

[Note how it is phrased: 'As is usual in radical blueprints for remaking the
world.' People tend to focus on the "who could object to this" type of content and
miss the "red flags." ]

Warnings of Canadian grassroots groups (1994) included warnings that the proposed
treaty "ignores the rights of parents...if these functions are not clearly given to
parents and the family, the powerful state agencies will assume them." It goes on to
cite Article 13, which gives children the "right to freedom of expression...the right to
seek, receive, and impart information of all kinds...in the form of art or through any
other media of the child's choice." [1999, note the most recent pronouncements of
the American Psychiatric Association and the American Library Association
asserting the rights of children to delve into pornography, etc., and to participate in
acts by pedophiles if they do so "consensually."]

Article 20 "gives the State the right to remove children from their homes 'for their
best interests when necessary.' That's the kind of bureaucratese which makes civil
servants purr with joy since they will define the child's 'best interests' and they will
define when it is 'necessary' to remove the child from a family."

Mr. Mulroney's Children's Bureau spawned a second bureaucracy, "Brighter Futures

Campaign." [1999: Think about all the emerging groups in the U.S. to bring about
success, etc., for our children...] The Canadian Children's Bureau promoted good-
sounding things like research into childhood asthma and cancer [Notice all the ads
here for helping asthmatic children all
springing forth in 1999?] and also started a LOBBYING EFFORT TO OUTLAW
SPANKING EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A DISTINCT DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN A SPANKING AND CHILD ABUSE. [Emphasis capital letters added
here.]

1994 column continues: "Statistics Canada, an official govt. agency, is seeking 'to
develop a new definition of family because it believes the traditional family is
beyond recovery,' yet researchers have found that more than 80% of Canadians live
in 2-parent, heterosexual families."
"Statscan is seeking a broader definition of family which would include 'gay and
lesbian families,' and 'an increase in awareness of the homosexual presence.'"

1999: Read the headlines; read the school programs being forced in; read the news
features lauding gay/lesbian activities, gay/lesbian parents; notice the story lines of
movies and books. Note the "need" for govt. and business day-care centers because
single mothers have nowhere to leave their children while they work; note the "need"
for schools to be
"families" in today's changed "family structures." 1999 dots had a lot preceding
them. But, "it's for the children" so it's
all "needed." Who could object to wanting children to live in a "safe environment"
and have "freedom"? Not mentioned in the Beichman column were the UN Rights of
the Child provisions such as being free to choose their own religion OR not to have a
religion; freedom to choose their own associates [...don't tell me I can't be in the
Trenchcoat Mafia???]; the right to an education [where and for how long??] Lots in
the details. Lots already been eased in every so carefully in the five years since Mr.
Beichman warned that the "radical agenda of the anti-family bureaucracy and its
supportive lobby groups" were working to "change forever the quality of family life
in Canada." [AND EVERYWHERE ELSE, INCLUDING THE U.S.]

VISION 2020

Dear Friends,

For the past 3 months I have been working on researching my local school district's
proposal to convert to a charter district (via California Senate Bill 1705). Because
this district (Capistrano Unified) has a track record of implementing all aspects of the
federal education laws (Goals 2000/School to Work/Outcome Based Education, etc),
I have much spent time trying to reveal the motives behind the charter district
proposal.

In my recent research on this local issue, I needed to access the local county STW
plan, which is called Vision 2020 (which was put into place in 1997). Usually I am
more shrewd than this, but I must admit that I have been under the impression since
'97 that "Vision 2020" was just the name
given to our local STW plan. WRONG!

While doing an Internet search to locate the website for the Orange County Dept of
Education's Vision 2020 link, I was appalled to see literally hundreds of Vision 2020
websites. After clicking around on them, it became
clear that Vision 2020 is the name being given to ALL cities/county
level/international level/university level/corporate level/ even churches'
Vision 2020 plans.

Let me explain. What you will find as you surf through the various Vision
2020 sites, is that it is no coincidence that they are all named Vision
2020. At first glance I thought, well maybe alot of these sites have to do
with optometry or something. NOT! What you will see is that they all have
to do with community planning and development, global governance goals,
sustained development, food distribution systems, transportation systems,
global economy, workforce training systems (STW), ENVIRONMENTALISM,
planned
economies, human resource development, etc.

I could not fathom what it was I was uncovering as I pursued this web search. It is
sickening when it hits you that this IS the global agenda, Vision 2020. I am sure it
originates at the UN, but still need to do more research. I wanted to give you all the
heads up on my discoveries and include here various links to just a few of the
participants--so you will
see the diversity of participants. Most disturbing is the number of churches involved
in Vision 2020 (which I believe is part of the global
spirituality component of the plan). So far I have found links for two Presbyterian
churches, a Methodist church, and a Baptist church--and that was just on one search
engine through the first 50 hits for Vision 2020. I will continue to update as I do this
research. It appears that all the church Vision 2020 sites are geared to raising money
to increase church
membership, but no real explanation for the name Vision 2020 is stated at any of
these websites.

I have found a Vision 2020 link for Yellowstone National Park (but it
references the entire park system as involved in it), the US Space Command
site (where it speaks of global engagement and global partnerships), the US
Chemical Industry, several universities and a zillion local Vision 2020
plans in most states. I found a key site for Vision 2020 in Malaysia, one
for India, and two for Canada.

I will give you a glimpse of the Vision 2020 site for Ireland's University
of Limerick because it is so absolutely frightening... please do read

information around to other activists. The various links will appear at

2.2 The detailed Vision 2020 process (outlined in 2.1) was used because:
(i) it was felt that the future of the University of Limerick should be
charted on the basis of the views and opinions of those who would be an
essential part of the organisation in the time ahead.
(ii) the potential and possibilities for future development are such as
would benefit from in-depth and rigorous analysis over a very broad canvas.
While the period of development of the University from 1970 to 1995 could
be construed as having to do mainly with establishing and developing a
national reputation and extending this to the international domain, the
next 25 years can hardly avoid focusing on the creation and sustaining of a
strong international reputation. The serious consolidation of the
University of Limerick in the international sphere raises many exciting and
far reaching issues and visions which span a very broad area. For instance,
the external environment, within which the University will need to chart
its development, can be expected to contain the following characteristics:
· Increasing intensification of the process of globalisation under the
impetus of technological advance and geopolitical trade block
consolidation; and this globalisation will take place in the context of a
multi-polar trading and development world which is replacing the old
bi-polar world;
· The all-pervasive growth of informatics and consolidation of the
"Information Age". The resulting information society will generate
societal, economic, cultural and organisational issues which simply did not
manifest themselves during the last 25 years. Studies show that the
information society, for instance, will:
- impact in a fundamental way on the economy and on employment;
- lead to far-reaching change in basic social and democratic values in the
"Virtual Community";
- influence the nature, organisation and delivery of public services;
- put new pressures on and influence the cultural dimension of life and
shape the future of communications, particularly the media;
- redefine the parameters for sustainable growth, technology and
infrastructural development.
· New forms of entrepreneurship and enterprise operating successfully in a
 global and information society context;
· Environmental concerns, of a different nature and more intensely
expressed than in the past;
· Societal values taking on different emphases than in the past;
· The growth and development of a more aesthetic value system and leisure
culture putting a sharp focus on, for instance, music and the arts,
literature and tourism - and by extension the potential for development
enshrined in the Irish Diaspora;
· New forms of quality, qualitative concerns and automation coming to bear
on the future manufacturing process across all sectors;
· Well-focused strategic alliances between organisations and corporations
throughout the world since the potential for and scale of development will
be such as will be beyond the scope of any one organisation.

SECTION 3

SUMMARY OF THE FINDINGS WHICH EMANATE FROM EACH OF THE

WORKING TEAM REPORTS
ON:

· THE UNIVERSITY & SOCIETY

· THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
· EDUCATING THE WHOLE PERSON
· TEACHING AND PROGRAMMES
· RESEARCH
· EXTERNAL AND NETWORKS
· QUALITY
· PEOPLE
· RESOURCING VISION 2020
3.1 THE UNIVERSITY & SOCIETY
3.1.1 The broad thrust of the report:
· The team adopted as its guiding principle: "Embodying the Creation of
Knowledge in a Global Village".
· Traditionally, universities have concerned themselves with the creation
of bodies of knowledge and the creation of knowledgeable bodies. In a
period of rapid population growth, the University of Limerick achieved
particular success in fostering the expansion of the Irish high-tech sector.
· This function is under threat from a number of interacting social,
demographic and technological change forces. But change brings with it new
opportunities as well as threats.
· The report outlines how these changes will affect the environment of the
 University of Limerick, and suggests how the University might transform
itself to pursue relevant economic and social goals in a rapidly evolving
and competitive market situation.
· It concludes that a future based on multidisciplinarity and, in later
years specialisation, within a small set of strategically chosen areas,
will best serve the institution and Irish society at large.
· A concentration of effort, starting in the very near future, will be
needed to realise this vision, and the effort will require fundamental
changes in attitudes, operations and structures.
3.1.2 Structure of report:
The report is organised in five main sections:
· What is a university?
· What are the five most significant elements of our external environment?
· What will constitute a university and society in 25 years?
· Charting a future for the University of Limerick.
· New directions.
The report also includes, as appendices, a number of position papers which
were reviewed by the Working Team in the course of its deliberations.
3.1.3 Facets of a University:
In attempting to answer the question "what is a university?", the report
highlights the multifaceted nature of a university. Different universities
at different junctures emphasise different facets:
· An inventory (both physical and human) of knowledge about the world;
· A community of scholars concerned with the discovery, integration,
application, and dissemination of knowledge;
· An oligopolistic supplier of (professional) qualifications and networks
which simplify labour market access;
· A social space where young people have formative experiences;
· A regionally monopsonistic employer;
· An engine for social and/or economic development.
Each of these facets is reviewed and discussed in turn. The report
concludes that the extent to which any university is perceived as "good"
will depend on which of a series of personal viewpoints and values holds
sway in a broad social arena, and that perhaps a pragmatic long-term
strategy is necessary which involves striking a delicate balance between
opposing views.
The approach adopted in the report is one based on choice - a university
can choose to emphasise particular facets and if it succeeds in emphasising
the correct ones, it succeeds.
3.1.4 Five Elements of our Environment/Scenarios for 2020:
The report then proceeds to attempt to identify some of the elemental
 forces that may shape universities over the next two decades. Five elements
are identified, and each is explored in turn:
· Society
· Demography
· Technology
· Economic Development
· New Sites of Scholarship
In the case of "Society", the possibility that Ireland's traditional
commitment to the social may solidify in the face of an increasingly
individualistic (and potentially fragmented) external world is raised. This
would result in:
· Greater emphasis on social stability and cohesion;
· A desire to escape from an entirely materialistic society;
· A sense of pride in a country that emphasises equity.
> On the other hand, individualism may come to the fore, in an increasingly
materialistic and uncaring world.
The existence of an intricate network of social institutions is relatively
recent and fragile (cf. events in Eastern Europe). Fragmentation of social
institutions has implications for university education.
The review of "demography" concludes that, on certain assumptions derived
from a HEA study, the University of Limerick can look forward to healthy
growth in total enrolment (by about 34%) in the period to 2015. However,
even accepting these assumptions (which require further analysis), there
may well be a fundamental shift in the composition of society, with a
consequent impact on the quantitative demand for educational services.
Issues concerning admission standards, a possible pecking order among
institutions, and the educational demands of an ageing population will
arise.
As a result of emerging trends in "technology", the simultaneous liberation
of space, the elimination of human intermediaries, and the creation of work
from home, produces a series of revolutionary threats and opportunities.
These technical changes are difficult to comprehend and to project; they
are occurring rapidly, and changes in one sphere are reflected in and
generate changes in other spheres.
The advent of the new age of work (with the home being used increasingly as
the location for both part-time and full-time working careers) will pose
new and different issues for education:
· A requirement for continuous retraining and updating of competencies;
· An emphasis on communication skills, creativity, and multicultural
appreciation.
The key challenge facing universities is to remain relevant to the new
emergent growth sectors, and to prepare society for the new world of work.
Under "Economic Development", the report reviews recent Irish industrial
development policy, and draws the conclusions (inter alia) that:
· The strategy which was based on Ireland's role as a gateway for US
high-tech firms seeking a European toe-hold remains valid;
· Indigenous firms should be resourced and encouraged to exploit the
opportunities opened up by the combination of modern technologies and the
information age with developments in Irish art and culture.
The report also examines the inter-relation of economic development and
social issues, and predicts that the University of Limerick has the
opportunity to be a pioneer in genuinely improving access to education, and
thereby contributing to social development and greater social harmony in
our local and national community.
In discussing the "Shifting Sites of Scholarship" the report notes that:
· Whereas fifty years ago universities had localised monopolies of
scholarly activity, there is now a proliferation of institutions and other
educational bodies resulting in greater competition in traditional markets,
with the university just one of many players;
· Equally, there is a polarisation in labour markets, with new information
technologies giving rise to opportunities for both highly specialised
professionals and generalists.
All of this is a natural consequence of knowledge as the central economic
resource in late modern society - its very centrality making it unlikely
that it will be left exclusively in the hands of collegially organised
institutions. If knowledge has become power then ownership of knowledge
becomes contested.
The conclusions from the analysis of these five elements are brought to
bear in the section of the report headed "Charting the University of
Limerick's Future".
Before that, however, the report develops a number of scenarios for 2020.
The purpose of the scenarios is to integrate themes already identified in
the report, in order to demonstrate the potency of these forces taken
together.
A number of possible scenarios for society are developed, basically a
series of alternative stories representing and reflecting areas of
uncertainty about the future:
· The subject - Individual (I) Vs. Community (We).
· Society - Coherence Vs. Fragmentation.
The scenarios are described under four dimensions:
· "I will - The world fragments into a working pandemonium of individuals,
organised by jobs rather than geography".
 · "Consumer Land - The world is populated by consumers rather than
citizens."
· "Ecotopia - The world slows the growth of development in reaction to early
decades of high crime and chaos."
· "New Civics - The world settles into small powerful city states."

For those of you who think that stopping UNESCO and our government's
Presidential involvement in that organization does NOT have a direct bearing on
Education, I suggest you go to the UNESCO site and read their agenda for Education
world wide at the UNESCO site for their "Second International Congress Technical
and Vocational Education" at:

http://www.unesco.org/education/educprog/seoul/document/cover.html

Pay close attention to the buzz words used on the Tech Ed pages such as "life long
learners" "global economy" "bridge to the future", "world of work" , etc etc.

I also suggest you surf around the main site and beside this on Tech Education go
back a bit to the UNESCO main index and read about Sex Ed and Population
planning and stuff.

If this is all just a kook conspiracy theory, then I am glad I am in good company with
Bob Barr and others in Congress who have finally seen the light.

For years we have asked "where is all this education crap coming from", perhaps this
site I listed above will just begin to shed some light on that question. It's the old
which came first the chicken or the egg question.

New Age Roots

Dark Foundations of the New World Order

Steve Bonta

The New American, March 1, 1999

Although the Theosophical Society remains a force in the occult/New Age camp, its
influence today seems to be confined to the education (or re-education) of those
seeking alternatives to Western religion. The Society at Adyar parted ways with
European and American power elites back in the 1920s, with the expulsion from the
Society in America of Alice Bailey and her husband Foster Bailey. The Baileys
inaugurated the Lucis Trust, a New York-based organization responsible for giving
the New Age movement most of its modem organization and political trappings.

Like Helena Blavatsky, Alice Bailey claimed to have been overshadowed on various
occasions by an "Ascended Master" (named Djwhal Khul), and to have penned many
volumes of occult writing under his influence. The Lucis Trust, like the
Theosophical Society, claims as one of its purposes the advancement of interest in
occult and arcane religion. It runs a number of non-profit "arcane schools" designed
to teach various occult doctrines and practices.

The Lucis Trust is also aggressively involved in promoting a globalist ideology,

which it refers to as "goodwill." Its World Goodwill organization is closely
connected to international elitist circles. Authors and participants in its various
conferences read like a Who's Who of the globalist insiders. Featured on its website,
for example, is the Universal Declaration of Human Responsibilities, put forth in
April 1998 as a companion document to the notorious UN Universal Declaration on
Human Rights. Signatories to the World Goodwill document include: Helmut
Schmidt, former chancellor of West Germany; Malcolm Fraser, former Australian
prime minister; Oscar Arias Sanchez, former prime minister of Costa Rica; Shimon
Peres; Robert McNamara; Paul Volcker; and Jimmy Carter. Indeed, the Lucis Trust
enjoys consultant status at the United Nations and, judging from the political
writings appearing in its publications, it is as much a political organization as an
occult religious one.

The following links are posted on the website of the Lucis Trust support group, the
New Group of World Servers, one of four legs of the Lucis Trust, established up by
Alice Bailey.

http://www.ngws.org/

http://www.ngws.org/service/groups.htm

The groups comprise the real working legs of the new age movement, taking
world civilization where Bailey had envisioned through her mediumistic
writings, first published under the name Lucifer Publishing company. Their
real aims are to establish a one-world governance/civilization, through
collective love and "good will" and human service as a paradigm-shift
process to usher in a new world order as described in Bailey's demonic
books. Not everyone who is referenced below is necessarily a new ager, but
it does reflect the inclusive drift of their larger working agenda.

EARTH DAY
Earth Day

Correction: I had given Maurice Strong credit for Earth Day. I appreciate Mr.
McConnell setting me straight.

Sent: Thursday, May 04, 2000 12:22 PM

Subject: From Earth Day Founder

Dear Friends,

Your web site brings out repeatedly the many conflicting forces at work
in society. I happen to be an evangelical Christian - and was the founder of the real
Earth Day. Please to to my web site: www.earthsite.org. Note:
"Commandments of Jesus." I would be delighted if you would give me a call.

John McConnell -- the founder of the original Earth Day.

I did go to Mr. McConnell's web site

(http://www.earthdayone.org/charta.htm#Prelude) and responded by e-mail...
Dear Mr. McConnell,

Please forgive me for taking so long to respond to your email. My yard was
recently on the garden tour for the local botanical garden. Needless to say I have
been "sowing, hoeing and mowing" from morning till night.

Then my computer got a "worm"! Unfortunately this worm did nothing to aerate
my soil and merely wreaked havoc on data! I feel like composting my computer.

I am finally back and ready to respond.

I did check out the web site to which you referred me. I must tell you the inclination
toward world government has me alarmed. I find it amazing that groups of non
governmental organizations (unelected) would presume to dictate and assume the
such power over the people of the world. After reading David Hornbeck's book
Human Capital I am quite aware of the determination of these groups to "create a
sense of crisis" and then come up with "the answer" (predetermined and always
enhancing their own power and advocacy group). By manipulating opinion through
altruistic jargon people are convinced to cede their independence and individualism
to become
"human capital" to the world economy. Man has become merely a cog whose
purpose is to create wealth and deposit it into the hands of a world elite. Man's
only purpose is to create wealth to be used by the "elite" for the "common good"
according to their determination of that good. No longer is the individual a special
child of God created in His image for His purpose, allowed to dream and
become...whatever that may be...farmer or president. By taxing the world this
"world" body would have immense power to become the foxes telling the chicken
what's for dinner. And I do not doubt that our own country, the beacon of hope and
freedom for the world, the most generous of all nations, would then become ripe for
the plucking.

Socialism has never worked. It has merely bred tyrants and dictators (Lenin, Stalin,
Mao for example) and led to blood baths. Whatever group that tyrant decided was
"inferior" or a "threat to the common good" was annihilated...gypsies, Jews,
Christians, freedom fighters. It is freedom that has elevated the standard of living for
the people of this country. It is freedom to realize the potential of each individual
that we should "redistribute" and then whatever "resources" each country has could
be developed without making the entire world generic according to the supposed
egalitarian edicts of a world elite.

I realize it was an ideal of Plato's to breed an "elite" to rule and provide for the less
able masses. Unfortunately, history has proven that such arrogance in the "elite"
produced only contempt for the masses and a disregard for the value of human
life. The end justifies the means.

You and I share a commitment to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Yet, I wonder
how we can be obedient to his "Great Commission" under the United Religions
Initiative. Can we truly love and not share the Truth and eternity with our fellow
man? How can we compromise God's Word and our Faith by coming to "consensus"
on issues about which the Bible is so clear? Are we not doing just what the last
verse in the book of Judge's commented so sadly upon: "And they all did what was
right in their own eyes" ?

I see the world government movement much like the building of the Tower
of Babel. Man sets himself up as his own god. We sow to the wind and will reap
the whirlwind.

I will give you credit for being the founder of Earth Day (surely altruistic in its
infancy), but was it your vision that it evolve into a symbol of the movement to
confiscate private property, redistribute the wealth of the world according to the
whims of some world elite, and force Christians to compromise their absolutes to
conform to the "current wisdom"? I am concerned that we have come to worship the
creation and not the Creator.

You are now in your eighties. You have had a very full life. I have just turned fifty
(that was a tough day). We will have much to tell our Savior when we see him face
to face. I know you, like me, long to hear him say, "Well done my good and faithful
servant."

Thank you for writing me. I am honored.

In His love...
Your sister in Christ,

of action--to use, in short, every means to halt the destruction of the environment and
to preserve and nurture our ecological system.

Maurice Strong, special adviser to the U.N. secretary-general on reform, recently

concluded a visit to Cuba, promising greater cooperation and economic assistance to
the communist-ruled island, according to Radio Habana Cuba, the official
broadcasting service of the Cuban government.
Maurice Strong, Speaking with Castro and a number of top Cuban officials on a
special adviser wide variety of topics, including cooperation between Cuban
to the U.N. universities and the U.N. University of Peace, Strong also spoke
secretary- about the upcoming U.N. Millennium Summit in New York, the
general on purpose of which is to discuss the role of the United Nations in the
reform, recently
21st century.
met with Cuban
President Fidel
Castro Both Strong and Castro have voiced similar views on socialism and
the future of humanity. Strong, despite having made a fortune in oil
and utilities, is a self-described socialist and has earlier stated that for humanity to
survive, it may be necessary "for industrial civilization to collapse."

Castro recently made a similar declaration while addressing a conference of

underdeveloped nations in Havana in mid-April. Castro stated that the world's
leading industrial nations control a "cruel, unjust, inhuman, and racist" economic
system that is "incapable of preserving the human race."

Strong has close connections with numerous influential leaders in business and
government around the world -- including the United States -- and is considered a
possibility to fill the post of secretary general of the U.N. when the position again
becomes open.

In addition to his leftist political views, Strong is reputed to be an avid devotee of

Gaia, the earth goddess, and is closely involved with the Temple of Understanding in
New York.

Strong's close working relationship with Castro stands in stark contrast to the recent
condemnation of Cuba by another United Nations agency -- the U.N. Human Rights
Commission, which has found Cuba guilty of continuing serious human rights
abuses.

Along with Strong, there are those who disagree with characterizations of Cuba as
abusive.

"Americans have been very propagandized against communism," said Lisa Valanti,
president of the U.S.-Cuban Sister Cities Association, "against certain words that we
use toward Cuba (such as) 'communist dictator,' 'anti-democratic' -- all these things
which are in fact not real in Cuban life."

U.S. citizens "know nothing about the reality of Cuban life," Valanti said.
During an interview with Radio Havana, Valanti stated that the organization exists to
"bring the people of one community into contact with people of another
community," desiring to make "visible in the U.S. the realities of Cuban life."

One hundred delegates from the year-old U.S.-Cuban Sister Cities Association began
their conference in Havana just as Strong concluded his business and left the island.

The U.S.-Cuban Sister Cities Association was founded in Pittsburgh in 1999 with
three members: Mobile, Ala., Madison, Wis., and Pittsburgh, Pa. All three
participating cities had made previous exchange arrangements with Cuba.

Another 30 to 40 cities have expressed interest in the program. Students, religious

leaders and business personnel are involved in the exchange programs.

Participants in the organization's exchange programs are "seeds" whose ultimate goal
is to put their view of Cuba "into political action," and to "impact legislatively,"
according to Valanti.

Critics of the Castro regime, however, are not welcome to participate in the
organization's activities, Valanti added.
SYSTEMS THINKING AND GAIA (by Lynn Stuter
Systems thinking grew out the writings of Alfred North Whitehead. The science of
systems thinking is accredited to a man by the name of Ludwig von Bertalanffy and
his associates (one of whom is Ervin Laszlo, currently working with the United
Nations). The generic term for systems thinking is general systems theory. A bit on
Bertalanffy before I go on. Bertalanffy came to the United States from Germany on a
Rockefeller grant. He returned to German-occupied Vienna, Austria in 1938. His
biology textbooks were used by Hitler. He returned to the United States following
WWII.

General systems theory states, simply, that the world is a system of subsystems (also
called systems) all interconnected and interdependent to form a wholistic or holistic
system; that within any system is an infrastructure that is analogous across systems,
irrespective of physical appearance. Stated a bit differently, but to the same effect, is
the Gaia hypothesis: the world is a living breathing organisim, irreducible to its
parts; that what affects one part, affects all parts; that in the name of saving space-
ship Earth, we must change our society. The Gaia hypothesis adds a spiritual
dimension to systems thinking.

Systems thinking sees everything as wholistic, with all parts interconnected,

interdependent. In the words of Senge, 1990, (The Fifth Discipline; the Art and
Practice of a Learning Organization), systems thinking "is the fifth discipline
because it is the conceptual cornerstone that underlies all of the five learning
disciplines of this book." This discipline is the foundation upon which the other four
disciplines function: personal mastery, mental models, shared vision, team learning.

Recognize the terms? The systems thinking model, because of its wholistic nature,
is cyclical--a circle or a spiral. The beginning is the end. You start at point A and
your destination is point A. Thus it is that mankind can be said to be "creating the
future." At point A "you" decide what "you" want the world to look like in x number
of years. This is your goal or outcome. Example: the exit outcomes for the school,
state, federal: what the child should know and be able to do as a result of his/her
educational experience; what the child should look like. Now you align everything
you do to achieve point A, the outcome. In this endeavor you align the curriculum,
instruction and teaching methodologies to the outcome to ensure that it is reached;
the measure of which is the assessment. I call this designing down, aligning back. It
is also known as backmapping.

The technical term is a syllogism: a process used by behavioral scientists to bring

about planned change. At this point, I shall digress to the philosophy behind systems
thinking as it is important to understanding the semantics of systems thinking.
Systems thinking sees everything as a system, analogous to all other systems
irrespective of physical appearance. All things are equal, whether it be the
ecosystem, or mankind--man is no better than animal or nature.

The underlying philosophy here is humanism that maintains that man is devoid of
spirituality or self-determinism. It therefore follows that man must be conditioned
(the process) to his environment (the outcome or goals), whatever it is decided that
environment will be (creating the future). As stated in the Humanist Manifesto II,
"…we can discover no divine purpose or providence for the human species. While
there is much that we do not know, humans are responsible for what we are or will
become.

No deity will save us; we must save ourselves." All the exit outcomes from all the
school districts, states, and Goals 2000 are what man must be conditioned to to
achieve the perceived environment. That perceived environment is based on "future
trends" which, again, is cyclical, deciding what we want the world to look like (in
the 21st Century), then back mapping. In this same vein, outcome based education is
education based on outcomes--starting at the end and back mapping, ensuring the
outcome. In researching "future trends" it becomes very obvious that they are based,
not on fact, but on the doomsday prophesies of rabid environmental groups whose
religious philosophy is very much humanistic/New Age. More on this later.

Systems thinking, to repeat, sees everything as wholes. It is in this context that

appear whole language; the wholistic education system incorporating all
services to deal with the whole child--mentally, physically, emotionally;
life-role or real-life (wholistic) education; constructivist (hands on)
learning (the child reinventing the wheel); integrated curriculum
deleting the lines of disciplines; thematic units addressing social or life
related issues (wholistic); conflict resolution in pursuit of the
collectivist (wholistic) society; peer tutoring; the child centered
classroom; individual learning plans; …. Everything done is to achieve
the whole, with all systems (everything done to produce the child who
will look like the exit outcomes) interconnected and interdependent.

Humanism is a religion that sees everything as wholistic, the basis of collectivist

thought and action; it is the foundation upon which Marx built his philosophy
(Marx saw Christianity as a religion of self-alienation, something to be stamped
out at all cost). Marx believed the individual mind to be part of the universal mind
(the wholistic mind), the collective. He saw the Hegelian dialectic as a process for
achieving wholes, of Oneness of Mind through a process of thesis (an idea or
proposition), antithesis (the opposite idea or proposition) and synthesis (the bringing
together of thesis and antithesis). Synthesis then becomes the new thesis, and
through a continuing process, Oneness of Mind theoretically occurs. If you
look consensus up in the dictionary, you will discover that it means "solidarity of
belief"; continual evolution to oneness of mind. To achieve consensus (wholism),
one must give up his/her individual beliefs and conform to the group beliefs--
again, oneness of mind. Left to its own devices, however, consensus is
uncontrollable. Thus, to control the process, and insure the outcome, facilitators are
trained in group dyanmics (how groups function) to ensure the outcome. Again we
start at point A and return to point A. In the process, all participants hold the
outcome instead of just the facilitator. In the words of one participant, the job of the
facilitator is to make everyone in the group think its their idea.

Because of mulitple parties being involved in consensus, it cannot be rigid except

in outcome. In each instance thesis and antithesis come into play, with synthesis as
the outcome whether achieved incrementally or in one cycle. Thus it is that there is
no right or wrong answer, everything is relative, situational. (This is the why and
wherefore, also, of no right answer in the classroom.) Everything is thesis and
antithesis, ever evolving in a spiral, whether individual thought or collective thought
to the next higher plain. This is, incidentally, the process of attaining "higher
order thinking." This is the reason for the teacher as facilitator, the "guide on the
side; not the sage on the stage."

The facilitatiave process is not one that appeals to the cognitive domain; it appeals
to the affective domain--how people feel. In achieving consensus, it
is not what one knows about a subject that matters, it is how one feels that is
important. As so adequately demonstrated by the final evaluation on the Schools for
the 21st Century in Washington state, content is "excellence in terms of the change
agenda," process is the "destination," the "product," and "what learning is
about;" emotionality and affectivity are the means by which content and process
will be achieved. If you want to change someones belief system, you do not
appeal to what they know, you appeal to what they believe, how they feel about
a subject. In a consensus circle, the facilitator sets the stage by appealing to the
affective domain of the participants--emotionality is imperative. If they have
learned nothing else from sex ed programs and the resulting rise in teen
pregnancies, they have learned that appealing to emotionality sets the stage if
the intent is for people to compromise their principles. Once the stage has been
set, affective is brought into conflict with cognitive, and the individual pushed to
conform to the group belief system. Once that has occurred, and individual
principles have been compromised, it is very hard for the individual to reclaim his
individuality. To do so requires breaking away emotionally from the new "family"
and again thinking for oneself The social acceptance within the circle makes this
very hard for most people to do--a facet that is counted on. What people learn about
each other, intimately, within the circle "of trust" also becomes a coercive factor
against anyone who might attempt to break away.

In the classroom, systems thinking plays out in the focus of the classroom. No
longer is the focus knowledge. Now the focus is "real-life" or "life-role"
education. Everything is set in the context of children "experiencing" real life
situations. Thus it is that the focus in the classroom is social or life-related issues
taught in the context of unit themes or thematic units, whether it is gender,
prejudice, discrimination, the environment, homosexuality, life styles, etc. The
primary focus, however, is upon environmentalism, which is why parents are finding
a lot of it in the classroom. This environmentalism, is not, in most cases, based on
scientifically validated facts, but rather, on the doomsday prophesies of rabid
environmentalists with a self-serving agenda--an agenda that plays itself out in such
events as the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 and similar more recent events
such as that in Japan. The fraudulent claim of global warming is a good example.

Future trends harkens back to a man by the name of Jay W Forester and
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. (Forester was Peter Senge's mentor for 20
years according to Senge.) In 1972 Forester established a world simulation model
known as World 3 for the Club of Rome (one worlders). This was a computer
simulation model that, according to inputs, predicted future scenarios. A book was
written over the twenty scenarios predicted by the simulation model, called "Limits
to Growth" by Donnella Meadows.

None of the predictions have come true, but that's beside the point. It is the
doomsday prophesies that "we must change our ways if we are to save spaceship
Earth" that dominates the scene. This is also what comes across in the
classroom. The purpose is to turn children into political activists for the
cause. The same is true for addressing other social or life related issues. This is
what Washinton SPI Bergeson meant, in her state of education speech, when
she said, "Education beats out fighting crime, holding the line on taxes, creating
new jobs, improving access to health care, or protecting the environment. And,
by the way, when we achieve our educational goals, all of these problems will be
addressed in new and better ways." In his book, "A Strategy for the Future, the
Systems Approach to World Order," Laszlo predicted that a more accurate and
concise model of World 3 would be forthcoming by the mid-1980's. This, or
something similar, is undoubtedly where the predictions of what the world will look
like in the 21st Century are coming from. The point that needs to be made here, is
that in predicting the future, the future can also be created, starting at point A
and return to it. In other words, whatever the "we" want it to look like. What "we"
want it to look like is manifesting itself now in the classrooms across America
under Goals 2000, STW and the plethora of bills building the system.

In creating the future, one of the first steps, is to analyze "where we are now"
against "where we want to be". This is called a gap analysis. Undoubtedly most
have heard this term. The gap analysis become the foundation of the change strategy-
-what "we" need to do to move people from "where they are now" to where "we
want them to be"--from "here" to "there". The facilitative process then becomes the
bridge between "here" and "there" whether in the classroom or in the
community. This is why facilitators are used in the whole of the process, whether
in the classroom or in establishing the mission and vision statements and the
exit outcomes.

Once the cyclical process is put in motion, theoretically it will envelope the whole
community at some point--except for holdouts like me. The success of systems
thinking, however, is contigent on it encompassing everyone--all. Because not
everyone can be so controlled, the necessity comes eventually, in the interests of
the system, to invoke tyrannical means of achieving and maintaining
compliance. This is why, in the USSR, dissidents were labeled "mentally ill"
and incarcerated.

What is being achieved in America today is known as transformational Marxism,

meaning that whereas it was achieved through revolution in Russia, and attempted in
Germany under Hitler and Italy under Mussolini, it is being achieved through
gradualism in the United States. This is where the term transformational comes into
play, especially in the third stage of OBE known as transformational outcome based
education wherein social and life related issues become the primary focus of the
classroom with knowledge only incorporated as it is used and applied.
Systems thinking is the method of achieving and maintaining a planned economy, in
which every facet is carefully monitored and carefully controlled, including the
human factor. Accountability, under systems thinking, is the gathering and analysis
of statistically data to measure evolution to outcomes. Thus the establishment of
huge data banks housing personally identifiable information on every man, woman,
and child. Coercion becomes a definite factor in achieving the desired outcome--
whether it is determined that the parent, teacher or child is the problem.

This is not in Global Governance, but Lynn helps put the entire process into
perspective. I am truly grateful for those who share their understanding with
the rest of us.

Remember who to thank in your community for bringing you into conformity
with these goals.

Key Players Control World Money Supply

By John M. Berry

Washington Post Staff Writer

Sunday, June 28, 1998; Page H01

BASEL, Switzerland - Ten times a year, the financial barons who control the world's
supply of money gather here on the bank of the Rhine River for drinks and dinner -
and secret conversations that can shape the course of the global economy.

The 13 members of this economic cabal meet on the glass-walled 18th floor of the
round headquarters tower of an obscure institution known as the Bank for
International Settlements. From their seats at the conference table, they can look
across the city and the river to Germany's Black Forest or farther west to French
Alps on the horizon.

As they arrive and greet one another by their first names, waiters hover with drinks -
they know each one's favorite. For privacy and candor, no staff members are present,
only the principals and occasionally a guest, such as Michel Camdessus, managing
director of the International Monetary Fund.

The members of this secretive group are the governors of the central banks of the
Group of 10 industrial nations, plus Switzerland. The most powerful voice in the
room is the U.S. representative - Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan or, if he
can't attend, Vice Chairman Alice M. Rivlin.

As befits its power, the United States alone has a second seat at the table, occupied
by William J. McDonough, president of the New York Federal Reserve Bank. The
13th participant is the BIS's general manager, Andrew Crockett, a former Bank of
England official.

This is how global finance does its most sensitive business, in these quiet Sunday-
night meetings. The central bankers talk informally - with no agenda other than what
is on their minds. The financial intelligence that emerges from these meetings - and
perhaps more important, the personal trust - helps keep the international banking
system steady in turbulent times, such as the financial crisis that has swept Asia over
the past year. Roots in a War

But what, exactly, is the strangely named organization that hosts this secret
conclave?

The BIS was established in 1930 to assist in the payments of reparations owed by
Germany and other losers in World War I to the victors. Over the years it has
become a central bank for central banks. It has also emerged as a clearinghouse for
regulators - helping them supervise commercial banks, oversee foreign exchange
markets and protect the world financial system.

Topic A on recent Sunday nights, of course, has been the financial crisis in Japan
and other Asian nations. The 13 participants have discussed how to ease the Asian
crisis and limit its impact on the rest of the world.

The group has focused, in particular, on ensuring that the crisis doesn't threaten the
world's intricate system of settling international transactions. A collapse of that
payments system, as it's known, is a central banker's ultimate nightmare.

Partly in response to the Asian crisis and partly to broaden its role beyond its
European base, the BIS will open a satellite office in Hong Kong on July 10. The
following day, the central bank governors will hold a regular monthly dinner outside
Basel for the first time - in Tokyo.

If the meeting room in Basel could speak, it would tell a history of global monetary
policy. It was at one of the dinners in 1982 that then-Fed chairman Paul A. Volcker
twisted arms - one source said "browbeat" -the other governors to come up with
money and other actions to help limit the economic damage from that year's default
by Mexico and later by other Latin America nations on their governments' debt owed
to foreign banks.

Mexico was the topic once again in late 1994 when the United States led a $50
billion bailout that involved money from the IMF, the United States and other
countries and, as a backup, $10 billion from the BIS. That was an unusually
contentious meeting because European central bank governors, including the
powerful head of Germany's Bundesbank, Hans Tietmeyer, opposed the bailout on
the grounds that it was unnecessary and a bad precedent.

At one critical dinner, recalls former Fed vice chairman Alan Blinder, "we took a lot
of heat about Mexico. We were lucky that Camdessus was there. He was a lightning
rod. The others were mad at the United States, but more so at the IMF." In the end,
the United States got its way. "By central bank standards, the talk is amazingly frank
because there is no audience," said Blinder, now an economics professor at Princeton
University. "There is this old cliché about 'full and frank' discussions among
diplomats. That means they were stiff and didn't say anything.

In this case, it really is frank. There is no gallery to play to. . . .You know, central
bankers cooperate across national borders better than governments do, and I think
this is one of the reasons."

Another glimpse of the secretive group comes from E. Gerald Corrigan, a managing
director at Goldman Sachs & Co. As president at the New York Fed from 1984 to
1993, Corrigan attended 115 consecutive monthly meetings at the BIS.

With everyone at one table and "no staff, no agenda, no records and no communiqué
. . . marvelous personal relationships developed," Corrigan recalls. "The
consequence of that was that when something went wrong, working with these
people was just so easy because of the trust developed by the frequency and the
intimacy of the dinners. To me, that's the genius of the organization."

During Corrigan's time, plenty did go wrong - particularly with the world's banks.
The Japanese bubble was expanding toward the bursting point, which eventually sent
Japanese banks into a downward spiral from which they still haven't recovered. The
U.S. stock market crashed in October 1987, sending shock waves around the world.
Foreign exchange crises were so frequent they are now barely remembered. Adding
to the disarray was the view of the leading U.S. banker, Citicorp Chairman Walter
Wriston, that large banks with diversified portfolios didn't need much capital.

During those raucous years, financial institutions around the world were disregarding
what Corrigan calls "prudential standards." The banks were lending like crazy, often
in other countries where the bankers didn't understand the risks, and national bank
regulators were not cracking down.

With Volcker taking the lead, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, a BIS
group, began trying to draft a new set of international standards for bank capital -
that is, the amount of reserves institutions must have relative to the amount of loans
they have on the books. Corrigan recalls that the Basel Committee wasn't getting
anywhere until the Fed and the Bank of England found that they had separately come
up with similar approaches.
When the details were announced in January 1986, "instead of everybody getting
mad at us, it became a rallying point," Corrigan said. "The next big obstacle was
getting the Japanese on board. The big issue there was to what extent the standards
would allow the Japanese banks to count their unrealized capital gains on stocks as
part of the capital."

An allowance was duly made for the Japanese, and Corrigan said, "I thought at the
time it would come back to haunt them." As indeed it has.

What analysts describe as the current "death spiral" of Japanese banks stems partly
from the fact that every time the Japanese stock market falls, it reduces the amount
of bank capital. That, in turn, makes it harder for Japanese banks to make new loans,
which in turn limits economic growth - plunging the country deeper into economic
crisis.

Central bank staffers, too, use the BIS for bonding. As a result of their regular
meetings here, senior members of the governors' staffs have developed a network of
their own that can be activated in a crisis.

Edwin M. "Ted" Truman, director of the Fed's international finance division, used
that network last December, when there was a high risk that major South Korean
banks would default on repayment of short-term debt owed to banks in Europe,
Japan, Australia and the United States. Truman set up daily conference calls with his
counterparts in all the home countries of the lending banks.

In the daily calls, Truman and the other central bank staffers shared information
about their lending banks' situations. The exposure of the banks varied greatly, and it
was proving difficult to get an agreement that the banks would roll over the loans
and extend their maturity. The conversations helped move the negotiations forward,
and the rollovers took place in January.

"This is a small illustration of the process," Truman said. "It's a sort of club, I guess .
. . dealing with people we know."

The BIS also has some formal committees handling arcane banking matters.

Its Committee on Payment and Settlement Systems has been promoting better risk
management by banks, better ways to settle transactions involving multiple
currencies and better domestic payment systems. The Euro-Currency Standing
Committee is studying how to reduce the vulnerability of the world financial system
in the wake of the Asian crisis. And the Gold and Foreign Exchange Committee
oversees world currency markets and is the only source of data on the size and
transactions in that huge market.

Of course, the G-10 governors don't have to come to the BIS to have dinner together.
In fact, most years when the IMF and World Bank annual meetings are in
Washington in September, there is no monthly meeting here, and Greenspan plays
host at the Fed.

A Bigger Board

Historically, the BIS has been essentially a European institution with U.S.
participation. In July 1994, however, the governors of the central banks of Canada
and Japan were added to its board. More recently, nine additional nations outside
Europe - Brazil, Mexico, Russia, China, Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore, India and
Saudi Arabia - became members, bringing the total to 41.

Almost 100 nations had representatives at the BIS annual meeting earlier this month,
including central bankers from member nations and from those that do business with
the bank. Similarly, at the monthly meetings, there is a well-attended session
Monday afternoon on central banking topics, which is open to any central banker.

Rivlin, the Fed vice chairman, says those wider afternoon sessions are valuable.
"They are interesting," she said, "and I learn a lot."

During the annual meeting this month, Julian Francis, the governor of the central
bank of the Bahamas, said his institution - like many others from smaller nations -
relies on the BIS for technical assistance in banking supervision, payments and
settlements, and banking technology. The BIS

has also helped in training some of his bank's employees. "We find it very useful,"
Francis said.

As a bank, the BIS has deposits of about $112 billion, some of which is in gold. The
funds are invested with commercial banks and in securities, but central bank
depositors can withdraw them at any time. Smaller central banks use the BIS both as
a convenient way to invest their reserves and to keep secret the way in which they
are managing the money. Even the Fed has some reserves on deposit here. Last year
the BIS made roughly $500 million on its banking activities.

In some cases, BIS officials take great pains to make sure that orders to pay money
out of the accounts of central banks in countries run by corrupt governments are
related to the central bank's activities, rather than just the needs of some powerful
official moving cash into his own secret account.

All but 16 percent of the BIS shares are owned by its member central banks. The
remainder are in private hands, as the result of the United States's failure in 1930 to
pay for its shares; they were instead acquired by a group of American banks, which
later sold them, mostly to individuals in Europe. Some of the French and Belgian
shares went the same way.

Even though the United States was included in the BIS from the beginning, the Fed's
two seats on the board weren't filled until four years ago.

Initially the United States objected to the BIS mission of facilitating payment of
German reparations. At the peace conference that followed World War I, the United
States had opposed such payments.

At various points between 1930 and 1994, U.S. officials considered taking the board
seats but a number of problems arose - such as the BIS membership of some
communist nations in Eastern Europe - though not Russia, which has never been a
member - and South Africa. With the end of the Cold War and of apartheid in South
Africa, those barriers were gone.

"The BIS . . . is now too valuable to the Federal Reserve in carrying out its statutory
responsibilities for the [Fed] not to be a full participant

in BIS institutional deliberations," Greenspan told Congress in explaining why the

United States was finally joining the BIS board.

Two Big Issues

For the BIS staff, two big technical issues lie ahead:

The first is how to deal with the advent of the European Central Bank, which will
open its doors this week as part of the creation of the Euro to replace the currencies
of 11 European countries. The ECB will take over virtually all of the monetary
policy responsibilities of the Bank of France, the Bundesbank and their counterparts,
though not those of the Bank of England, which is not adopting the Euro
immediately. Obviously, the head of the ECB, Willem F. Duisenberg, former head of
the Dutch central bank, will be added to the Sunday dinner list. But what of the
others, whose power will have been greatly diminished?
The second issue is whether to keep expanding BIS membership by including such
nations as Malaysia, Argentina, Indonesia and Thailand - and in the process expand
the bank's role in developing nations.

Meanwhile, BIS chief Crockett hopes to make this city on the Rhine the center of
information, advice and cooperation on international financial supervision. The
secretariat of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision is here, as is the
headquarters of the International Association of Insurance Supervisors. Crockett is
hoping to persuade the organization of investment bank supervisors, which is located
in Montreal, to move as well.

The BIS set up shop in Basel originally in 1930 because it was about a day's train
ride for the European central bankers. Now the institution has to decide just how far
it will travel from its Swiss home to fulfill it: role as guardian of global finance.

A9 Copyright 1998 The Washington Post Company

President Abraham Lincoln warned us of these dangerous International bankers

when he said "The money power preys upon the nation in times of peace & conspires
against it in times of war. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than
autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces, as public enemies, all who
even question its methods or throw light upon its crimes. I have two great enemies,
the Southern Army in front of me & the financial institutions at the rear, the latter is
my greatest foe."

President James A. Madison warned "History shows that the money changers have
used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit and violent means possible to maintain
control over governments by controlling the money and the issuance of it."

President Thomas Jefferson once said "I sincerely believe that banking
establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of
spending money to be paid posterity under the name of funding, is but swindling
futurity on a large scale" and "The Central Bank is an institution of the most deadly
hostility existing against the principles and form of our Constitution. I am an enemy
to all banks, discounting bills or notes for anything but coin. If the American people
allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and
then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will
deprive the people of all their property until their children will wake up homeless on
the continent that their fathers conquered."
 Thomas Jefferson was prophetic when he spoke these words. America is now
mortgaged to the hilt and when it all collapses, the International Bankers will end up
owning everything. They gave us paper "money" and we gave them everything, our
labor, our inventions, our land and our possessions. If we do not stop this crime from
continuing we will end up very much like serfs from the middle ages who had to rent
land from the Land-Lords

Bilderberg - 'summit' opens in Sintra under massive security

(Click here for current list of participants)

SAMPAIO ATTENDS SINTRA SUMMIT

A massive security operation was launched in Sintra on Wednesday, in preparation for the
arrival of some of the world's most powerful people. A special unit from the PJ (Judicial Police)
was reported to be sweeping Penha Longa for listening devices late Wednesday. A film crew
from the UK's Channel 4 were being trailed by a team of plain clothes police and security men
after they attempted to film inside the hotel on Tuesday afternoon. Veteran Washington reporter
and Bilderberg specialist Jim Tucker, a regular and unwelcome visitor at Bilderberg conferences
since 1980, is also under constant surveillance. He told The News that he was spotted near
the hotel by the Bilderberg security team. Since the Bilderberg meeting was first revealed by
The News on May 1, scooping the world's media, the internet site of The News has been
experiencing unprecedented international interest. In the last four days the site has accumulated
over 368,000 hits, being linked to some of the largest media sites on the net. Only on Wednesday
did the Portuguese media start to comment on the upcoming 'summit' in Sintra, despite the fact
that the Portuguese press agency LUSA had alerted them to the story in The News four weeks
ago. Much of the information now being published is relying heavily on The News reporting of this
event over its last five issues. Guests confirmed by the Bilderberg Meeting to The News on Thursday
morning included in alphabetical order; Pinto Balsemão, Conrad Black, Kenneth Clarke, João
Cravinho, Paulo Fresco, Marçal Grilo, Richard Holbrooke, Henry Kissinger, Peter Mandelson,
Vasco de Mello, Murteira Nabo, Her Majesty Queen of the Netherlands, David Oddsson,
David Rockefeller, Richardo Salgado, President Jorge Sampaio, Rudolf Scharping.

The Bilderberg wall of silence suffered substantial damage this week. The Edinburgh based
Sunday Herald, WorldNetDaily and the famous Drudge Report all commented on the rendezvous
of world leaders currently taking place in Sintra.
The Scottish Sunday Herald published the story (May 30) and the internationally-respected
WorldNetDaily led with the agenda linking directly to The News site. The Portuguese national
radio station, RFM, reported on Wednesday the expected presence of Bill Clinton who, they
reported, would be unaccounted for over this weekend.

The Sunday Herald said in its article: "Every year the international media competes to be the
first to reveal the location and agenda for the conference". The Herald continued by saying:
"The winner of the Bilderberg scoop this year was a Portuguese newspaper, The News, which
boasts that it is the country's largest-circulation English language newspaper. It has published
the location and the detailed agenda of the conference".

Público refers to a "Lusa News Agency alert" quoting a newspaper, 'The News'.

The BBC Worldwide Monitoring Service this week printed a text of a report by the Yugoslav
News Agency, Tanjug, which said the plan to bring about a Balkan Vietnam was drawn up
secretly back in 1996 and reactivated at a meeting of the Bilderberg Group held in Scotland
last year, citing the May 27 edition of the Yugoslav newspaper "Vojska".

Vojska said that a thorough investigation conducted by independent US journalists had

disclosed that the group members included David Rockefeller, Giovanni Agnelli, Helmut Kohl,
Lord Peter Carrington, Queen Sophia of Spain, Valery Giscard D'Estaing, Baron Rothschild,
Margaret Thatcher, Lord Robert Owen and Henry Kissinger. The newspaper claimed that US
journalists had disclosed that the Bilderberg Group had in fact made plans for the "third
Balkan war" in this century.

Under the plan, drawn up at a session chaired by Lord Carrington, the first move was to be to
try and arrest "war criminals from among the Serbs" with extensive help of the Hague tribunal,
set up for that very purpose. The move was to provoke a stormy reaction by Serbs, which was
to be used as a pretext for a military intervention.

However, developments prevented the idea from being translated into practice, which required
a reserve variant - the fanning of interethnic conflicts in Kosovo-Metohija.

All indications are that a group is now going back to the original variant, the outcome of which
is the indicting of Yugoslav officials by the Hague tribunal, said the newspaper.

According to the same scenario, Greece, Albania, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Russia and Turkey
are to be drawn into the war, in addition to Yugoslavia, with Nato adding fuel to the fire.

In yet another 'extraordinary coincidence' one of the items on the Bilderberg agenda for this
weekend (as revealed to The News by Canadian based researcher John Whitley) is the formation
of a Western European Army which is high on the agenda of the meeting of European leaders in
Cologne on Thursday.

Stop press: As we went to press on Thursday we received the official press release from the
Bilderberg Meeting. It said: "The 47th Bilderberg Meeting will be held in Sintra Portugal June 3
to 6 to discuss the Atlantic Relationship in a Time of Change. Among others the conference
will discuss NATO, Genetics, Emerging Markets, The New Economy, European Politics,
US Politics, International Financial Architecture, Russia. Approximately 120 participants
from North America and Europe will attend the discussions. The meeting is private in order
to encourage frank and open discussion.

"What is unique about the about Bilderberg as a forum is the broad cross-section of leading
citizens that are assembled for nearly three days of informal and off-the-record discussion
about topics of current concern especially in the fields of foreign affairs and the international
economy; the strong feeling among participants that in view of the differing attitudes and
experiences of the Western nations, there remains a clear need to further develop an
understanding in which these concerns can be accommodated; the privacy of the meetings,
which has no purpose other than to allow participants to speak their minds open and freely.
In short, Bilderberg is a small, flexible, informal, off-the-record international forum in which
different viewpoints can be expressed and mutual understanding enhanced.

"Bilderberg's only activity is its annual Conference. At the meetings, no resolutions are proposed,
no votes taken, and no policy statements issued. Since 1954, forty-six conferences have been
held. The names of the participants as well as the agenda are made available to the press.
Participants are chosen for their experience, knowledge, and their standing; all participants
attend Bilderberg in a private and not an official capacity.

"There usually are about 120 participants of whom about two-thirds come from Europe and the
balance from North America. About one-third are from government and politics, and two-thirds
from finance, industry, labor, education, communications.

"Participants have agreed not to give interviews to the press during the meeting. In contacts with
the news media after the conference it is an established rule that no attribution should be made
to individual participants of what was discussed during the meeting.

Family Voice July 1998

CELEBRATING FREEDOM

By Pamela Pearson Wong

We cannot let an empowered United Nations seize our citizenship

People-covered blankets form a patchwork quilt around the U.S. Capitol. As

the sun sets, music of the National Symphony Orchestra rises to

Tschaikowsky’s "1812 Overture." Cannons wait across the reflecting pool,

poised for the signal. Then, at the precise moment, they blast in unison

with the symphony---and fireworks explode over the Washington Monument.

Independence Day--the Fourth of July--binds us as a nation. In rural

villages and massive cities, in countrysides and on urban streets,

Americans gather for picnics and fireworks. They celebrate the freedoms,

the history, the privileges America affords.

Globalism is Gaining

A growing shadow looms over American nationalism--a creeping movement

toward global citizenship. Instead of a world made of independent nations,

globalism requires an international system to govern and unite

"nation-states." World federalism would unite all countries under a common

government--a greatly empowered United Nations. And we would no longer

look to Washington, D.C., as the center of our government.

"World federal government is not only possible, it is inevitable." says

Sir Peter Ustinov, President of the World Federalist Movement, "and when it

comes, it will appeal to the patriotism of men who love their national

heritages so deeply that they wish to preserve them in safety for the

common good". (emphasis added.

This agenda is neither new nor covert. The World Federalist Association
has been working toward this goal for nearly 50 years. Some have suspected

a conspiracy to bring the world under one power--global governance. Now

efforts seem to be accelerating for the year 2000.

Mother Earth

The motivation for global governance is the lust for power illustrated in

the age-old lie, "Man is his own god." This 90s-style religion elevates

Earth to an object of worship (FV, April 1997),. Man controls his destiny.

Man is the savior-not God.

Preserving the planet becomes the act of worship, and Christians the enemy.

Western culture, say U. N. environmentalists, has desecrated Earth. Vice

President Al Gore has supported this theory for years. In 1990 he

introduced legislation that established the annual "Earth Day."

Influence Peddler

Another leading advocate of Mother Earth is Canadian Maurice Strong,

possibly the chief influence peddler within globalism. His U.N.-related

resume includes former Deputy Secretary- General and Secretary-General of

the 1992 U.N. Conference on Environment and Development. Some point to him

as an upcoming U. N. Secretary-General.

Strong has referred to Our Common Future, resulting from the U.N.’s World

Commission on Environment and Development, as "an extension of the Bible."

The book deals with how "humankind must preserve Earth.

Strong artfully chastises "those who call ourselves Christian" for starting

the Industrial Revolution--the source of Earth’s problems. "The oneness

of the Earth has been shattered within these nations by artificial

boundaries dividing the open land into segments of private property, and

destroying Mother Earth and indigenous peoples," he said at a "theology of

the Earth" event in New York City.

"God has placed the fate of the Earth in our hands . . . We can secure our

own salvation of life itself on Earth," he said. How? Through global

governance by the U.N. And wherever the U.N. is, the sovereignty of the

United States -- and our identity as American citizens -- is jeopardized.

U. N. Charter

Little did U.N. founders dream of its future power.

In 1918, President Woodrow Wilson designed the Fourteen Points, a document

calling for the League of Nations. This world body was to secure

international peace and, thereby, domestic security. Congress, however,

refused to ratify the League of Nations--seeing it as a threat to our

national sovereignty.

But later, demoralized by two world wars within 50 years, the U.S. changed

its position. In 1944, our national leaders met with Russia, China and
Great Britain, forming the United Nations to promote and maintain world

peace. These superpowers ratified the U.N. Charter the next year.

That Charter gives the U.N. Security Council power to:

· Recommend judges for election to the International Court.

· Maintain international peace and security.

· Investigate and arbitrate disputes.

· Use economic and military actions against aggressors.

· Recommend new members.

· Recommend appointment of the Secretary General.

>From this rather limited beginning, the U.N. now equates peace with

globalization--and ultimately, a world government.

Global Governance

The Commission for Global Governance (CGG) gives us a birdseye view of the

process. Founded in 1992, the Commission has the full endorsement of

former U.N. Secretary-General Dr. Boutros Boutros-Ghali. Although not an

official U.N. organization, its 28 members all have U.N. related resumes.

The Commission published its 357 page report Our Global Neighborhood, in

1995. Its recommendations include:

· Governmental agreement to changes "in the international system"

· Strong leadership "that reaches beyond country, race, religion, culture,

language, lifestyle" "Global governance) must embrace . . . a sense of

responsibility to the global neighborhood..." The report further states.

"The impulse to possess turf is a powerful one for all species; yet it is

one that people must overcome."

The U.N. is to play a pivotal role. "It is our firm conclusion that the

United Nations must continue to play a central role in global governance,"

it says. Moreover, the CGG proposes expanding the U.N.’s current power.

U. N. Expansion

Through Taxes:

The CGG recommends fees on international activities, including foreign

currency transactions. The greatest income, however, would come from taxes

on all fossil fuels. Economist James Tobin states in National Review that

"a 0.5 percent tax on foreign-exchange transactions would raise $1.5

trillion annually---nearly equivalent to the U. S. federal budget."

No More Veto:

Another power grab comes from the CGG’s recommendation that the U. N.

Security County, the organization’s most power entity eliminate the veto

power held by the five permanent members--the U. S., France, the United

Kingdom, the Russian Federation and China.

Currently, nine Council members must agree before a measure can pass,

including all five permanent members. This veto power offers needed

protection to the U.S.

However, CGG recommends elimination of the veto in a two-stage process,

because "the Commission knew," reported the National Review, "that the

current permanent members of the Security Council, including the U.S.,

would not easily surrender their vetoes." First, five new permanent

members would join the Security Council--without veto privilege. Then

three countries would be added as non-permanent members.

The second stage poses the real threat to our sovereignty. Although the

U.S. would not have ratified the U.N. Charter in 1945 without the veto

provision, the CGG wants it phased out.

According to Our Global Neighborhood, the original five permanent members

would retain the veto to use "only in extreme cases." By the year 2005,

"today’s permanent members will have become accustomed to participation in

global governance without the veto."

These plans are progressing. The State Department has already agreed to add

five new members to the Security Council, but has not commended on the veto.

"Without veto power, the U.S. would be subject to the decisions of other

countries--even if we violently disagree with them," says Laurel MacLeod,

CWA’s Director of :Legislation and Public Policy.

Where’s the Voter?

Fueling global government and U.N. expansion is the mindset that our

world’s survival demands a new system. Though globalists might not admit

it, they see the Founding Fathers’ vision as archaic.

"Where are the voters?" asks Laurel MacLeod. "The CGG’s plan ignores

Congress, state legislatures and the system of checks and balances so

carefully crafted for our Republic. Instead, the globalist vision gives

power to non-elected elites who would control out government from behind

the scenes."

We already see this trend progressing throughout our culture.

Expanding Through Land Use--Using the model of the U.N. regulations, our

own executive agencies have created biosphere reserves--and subverted

private property rights in the process. For example, in 1976 the U.N.

designated Yellowstone National Park as a biosphere reserve--set aside for

conservation and scientific study.

Yet the U.N. regulations that control buffer zones (areas around the core

biosphere reserve) only allow limited human activities and dwelling.

Individuals who own property within buffer zones may not keep animals, grow

crops, or develop land. Core and buffer zones are places where "the

collective needs of non-human species must take precedence over the needs
and desires of humans," says environmentalist Dr. Reed F. Noss.

"It is important to protect and preserve environment," says Laurel MacLeod.

"But laws must recognize the democratic process and not be imposed upon

people outside their Constitutional rights. The United States’ national

sovereignty--is becoming subservient to U.N. wishes."

Expanding Through the Military--The United States Constitution empowers

Congress to declare war and the President to act as Commander-in-Chief.

However, our military has increasingly come under U.N. control.

In 1990, President George Bush obtained U.N. authority to send U. S.

troops to Iraq--an unprecedented action. Some 54 members of Congress

unsuccessfully attempted to force the President to obtain congressional

authority.

In 1992 President Bush again approached the U.N.--to send American soldiers

to Somalia. For the first time in our history, American troops served

under direct command of a United Nations foreign commander.

But not all American soldiers agree with this growing change of command.

In 1996, Specialist Michael New, an Army medic, underwent court martial for

refusing to serve under foreign command as an international peacekeeper

(FV, May 1996). "I swore allegiance to my country, not the U.N.," Spc. New

declared. (He received a dishonorable discharge.)

Now, the move toward a U.N. standing army indicates further control. The

Washington Times reports that Choi Young-Jin, the U.N. assistance

secretary- general for peacekeeping operations, hopes to establish "a

standing army system" I would consist of 100,000 standby troops from 70

countries. He called the standby system "an interim measure" resulting

from opposition to a U.N. standing army from the U.S. and other "core

countries."

Sen. Rod Grans (R-MN), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations

subcommittee on international operations said that Congress should be very

concerned. "They keep saying that there will be no U.N. standing army, but

this is proof that there is a lot of planning going on to make this a

reality," Sen. Grans told the Washington Times.

Expanding Through the Family Unit--Even the God-ordained institution of

family is experiencing U.N. intervention. In 1989, the U.N. General

Assembly adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Our ambassador

to the U.N. signed the Convention in 1995. It went to the Senate--where it

remains today in committee.

President Clinton and Hillary Rodham Clinton strongly endorse this treaty.

Still the President has said he will attach "reservations" to it--to allay

citizen fears and state the Administration’s differences--before sending it

to the full Senate.

If the Senate passes the Convention in committee, it will go to the full

Senate for a final ratification vote of two-thirds, instead of a simple

majority. If ratified, this intrusive treaty would--according to modern

Supreme Court interpretation of the Constitution--supersede all state and

federal laws.

The U.N. treaty would charge Congress with seeing "the best interests of

the child" (article 3), thus usurping the family’s role.

American traditionally believe that minor children need parental protection

But the treaty purports that children have the rights to make their own

decisions--in all areas. It would conceivable give them even freer access

to sexual activity, contraception and abortion, pornography, and cultic and

occult "religions."

"God designed the family to nurture and guide children gradually increasing

their autonomy until they become independent," says Dr. Beverly LaHaye, CWA

Founder and Chairman. "This plan isn’t oppressive, but loving."

Allan Carlson of The Center on the Family in America, a conservative think

tank, agrees. "(The U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child) undermines

the one institution in which children are least likely to be abused least

likely to be poor, least likely to be promiscuous, most likely to be

healthy, and most likely to be well educated: the traditional two-parent

 family."

I Pledge Allegiance

The U.S. Constitution laid out our system of government by the people. A

balance of power, checks and balances, a bill of rights--and national

sovereignty--are its hallmarks. Independence Day, the American flag, the

pledge of allegiance--are all its symbols. Our country began as a

magnificent experiment, and still exists as a paragon of freedom for the

entire world. We must not let the United Nations rob us of our right to

celebrate as American---not global citizens.

David Hornbeck edited one manifesto for this agenda, Human Capital. In it he cited
the need to "create a sense of crisis" and then to use the courts to achieve the goal. Ira
Magaziner wrote an interesting letter gloating of their win in the election and what it
meant toward achieving their goals of social engineering (Marc Tucker 17 page Letter
to Hillary Clinton advising on Education and
Training http://www.eurekanet.com/~cpr/tucklett.html). . Sadly, education did need
fixing, only now those responsible for the failure have been further empowered to
more radically extend the "fix". (David Hornbeck wrote the education restructuring
plan for the state of Alabama and Kentucky. Marc Tucker "fixed" Oregon.)

This list makes poor Richard Mellon Scaife, the American Spectator and the
Rutherford Institute look mighty puny. But they are not our strength and our
salvation. Fortunately those "Right Wing Radicals" who dare to object know the One
Who is really in control and they look to Jesus Christ as Lord of all. Many good
people have been deceived by the Newspeak of those promoting this agenda. I had
often wondered how the Anti-Christ could come out of the Church as Revelations
predicts. The skillful manipulation of language has made many believe they are
supporting something the facts do not bear out. We must remember "there is nothing
new under the sun." This may be the final act of the Battle of the Ages. Do not
despair or be dismayed, our God will never leave us or forsake us. Let us be
constantly in prayer for those whom He is using on the frontlines of this "War" as
James Carville calls it. Let us pray that the shackles will fall from the eyes of those
deceived. Like the Virgins in the parable, keep the oil in the lamps and be prepared.

And they accuse us of "having an agenda"?

From Wanderer Interview:

"Since the publication of Malachi Martin's WINDSWEPT HOUSE (Doubleday) early

this summer, everyone who has read it is asking the same question: Is it all true?

The brilliantly conceived and elegantly written novel presents Vatican City as a nest
of intrigue, where the Holy Father is cautiously temporizing as disloyal cardinals
subvert his Papacy and scheme with government and business elites in London and
Brussels to advance the New World Order.

Believing that the Church must be a key player in the New World Order - primarily
for financial reasons - and that Catholic doctrine on key issues must be "moderated,"
"transformed," or simply dropped in order for the Church to be accepted as a player in
the new power structure, the Pope's unfaithful cardinals plot to isolate John Paul
II."
