In the 1970s, the Club of Rome launched the book "The Limits to Growth". Essential reading for all those concerned about the future of the planet, the book was translated into 37 languages. Now, President Emeritus Alexander King and Secretary General Bertrand Schneider review global problems 20 years on, offering both a warning and an approach to a possible solution to world problems. Topics covered by this book include the need for the world to convert from a military to a civil economy, the recognition of the disastrous short-term effects of exploitation by First World countries of Third World poverty and need, and the containment of global warming: the need to reduce global emissions of carbon dioxide, to encourage reforestation, to conserve traditional forms of energy and develop alternatives,

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

President Wilson in the last days of his presidency:

“Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacturing, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere, so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.” The “power” Wilson was talking about is the Committee of 300 and Wilson knew he did not dare to mention it by name.

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

5.0 out of 5 stars The quote is real. page 86 in the pdf; page 75 in the actual pub.
Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2009
I just wanted to confirm that the quote is real. Page 86 in the pdf; page 75 in the actual pub. However, there is a lot more info in the document. It is interesting to see how long these people have been trying to scheme to get a more centralized undemocratic method of controlling humanity.

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