World Enemy No. 1 _ There is a lot of competition for that title. Some names that jump to mind are Barack Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton, George Soros, Hugo Chavez, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Ban Ki-moon and, I’m sure you could add others to the list. But, probably none have had more global impact of Maurice Strong. A self-proclaimed life long socialist, he is often refered to as the father of international environmentalism and the father of the global warming scare and the father of the UN’s Agenda 21 and its goal of “sustainable living”.
Let’s learn more about Maurice Strong. From this source we are told that he was born in a small town in Manitoba, Canada; a child of the Great Depression. In 1947, he took a job as a junior security officer at the UN offices in New York City. The following year, at the age of nineteen, Strong was hired as a trainee by a brokerage firm where he eventually became an oil specialist. He eventually took a job with Dome Petroleum and 1956 he set up his own firm, M.F. Strong Management. By 1976 Strong was appointed to head Canada’s newly created national oil company, Petro-Canada and later he was named Chairman of the Canada Development Investment Corporation, the holding company for some of Canada’s principal government-owned corporations.
So, how did this entrepeneur and businessman become a rabid environmentalist? From the same source linked above we learn:
In 1971, Strong commissioned a report on the state of the planet, entitled “Only One Earth: The Care and Maintenance of a Small Planet” [11] and co-authored by Barbara Ward and Rene Dubos.
From another source we are told :
… In 1972, Strong was the secretary-general of the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm, Sweden. Later, he was executive director of the UN Environmental Program.
He has had other positions of influence at the United Nations, including “commissioners of the World Commission on Environment and Development, set up as an independent body by the United Nations in 1983″ and senior adviser to secretary-general Kofi Annan.
Here are some quotes of Maurice Strong taken from Key.Wiki:
- “[I am] a socialist in ideology, a capitalist in methodology
- “[The Earth Summit will play an important role in] reforming and strengthening the United Nations as the centerpiece of the emerging system of democratic global governance.”
- “The concept of national sovereignty has been an immutable, indeed sacred, principle of international relations. It is a principle which will yield only slowly and reluctantly to the new imperatives of global environmental cooperation. It is simply not feasible for sovereignty to be exercised unilaterally by individual nation states, however powerful. The global community must be assured of environmental security.”
- “Frankly, we may get to the point where the only way of saving the world will be for industrial civilization to collapse.”
Are you beginning to see why I see this man as so dangerous? Strong is now 82 years of age and he is not done with us yet. This story from Fox News brings ys up to date.
Maurice Strong, the godfather of global environmentalism and organizer of the United Nations’ 1992 Rio environmental Earth Summit, is making a quiet comeback to the limelight on the eve of that meeting’s successor, the Rio + 20 summit on “sustainable development,” which starts June 20 in Brazil.
[…]
His appearance at Rio + 20 is also the latest stage in a Long March through controversy that has kept Strong, a native Canadian who is widely deemed to be one of the key instigators of the global environmental movement, living a low-profile life in China for the past half-decade.
[…]
Nonetheless, on Monday evening, Strong was introduced as a “very special guest of honor” at a “Corporate Sustainability Forum” organized by the U.N. Global Compact, a corporate group that has signed onto a variety of U.N. social and development goals. In a brief address, Strong lauded the assembled executives as “the most important meeting of Rio + 20,” and noted the number of corporate representatives attending from “the country where I live, which is called China.”
“If we are going to achieve the world we want, and not just the world we are going to get if we stay on the same course, it’s got to be led by the business community,” he said. “The real actors, the people who are going to make the change are the people in this room.”
I have no doubt that the corporations attending the Rio +20 summit see ways to make a tonne of money at the expense of all mankind. Here is one more Strong quote from the Fox News story:
“Rio+20 must reinforce international efforts to reach agreement and renewal of the Climate Change Convention and its implementation,” he declared.
Yes, I do think that Maurice Strong could be one of the world’s most dangreous men.
Well, that’s what I’m thinking. What are your thoughts?

Thanks for a great post. I had heard some about the meeting, but not of him. This is right up obama’s alley.
Oh yeah! This guy has done some serious international evil. He and Soros are a dangerous pair.
Maurice Strong is most definitely higher up the totem pole than Obama or the rest. There are major occultic interlock with Maurice Strong, Michael Gorbechev as reported by Constance Cumby:
“This is the Earth Charter Initiative’s own version of the time and events:
“The World Commission on Environment and Development (aka ‘the Brundtland Commission’) called for ‘a universal declaration’ and ‘new charter’ to set ‘new norms’ to guide the transition to sustainable development. (Our Common Future, 1987)
“A draft UN Earth Charter was developed for the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, but the time for such a declaration was not right. The Rio Declaration became the statement of the achievable consensus at that time.
“In 1994, Maurice Strong (Chairman of the Rio Summit) and Mikhail Gorbachev, working through organizations they each founded (Earth Council and Green Cross International respectively), restarted the Earth Charter as a civil society initiative, with the help of the Government of the Netherlands. The initial drafting and consultation process drew on hundreds of international documents.
“Messrs. Strong and Gorbachev convened an independent Earth Charter Commission in 1997 to oversee the final development of the text and to come to agreement on a global consensus document.[3]
Bottom line: As one primary pillar of the now shaping Alliance of Civilizations, we have an Soviet atheist turned New Ager combining with an equally fervent Canadian billionaire devotee, both true believers in an alleged “Maitreya the Christ,” the latter particularly working openly with Lucis Trust, the offspring of Alice and Foster Bailey’s original “Lucifer Publishing Company.”
I was counting on you to have some good details. Thanks, rM.
This is a particularly scary statement:
“The concept of national sovereignty… It is a principle which will yield only slowly and reluctantly to the new imperatives of global environmental cooperation.
That’s the end game, folks. Unelected, untouchable bureaucrats telling everyone what to do. Scarier yet, liberal toadies in this country openly conspire with them.
This is not a game to these people. It’s a war and a war they intend to win.
Funny, Silverfiddle…what came to my mind looking at his picture was “King Toad.” The toad followers don’t seem to be going away, either.
Good post, Jim. Between Strong and Soros…and the attached cohorts, we are definitely up against some huge money and power. Oddly, just into my mailbox came a fox news report on Strong at the Rio+20 wingding….http://www.foxnews.com/world/2012/06/20/godfather-global-green-thinking-steps-out-shadows-at-rio-20/?test=latestnews
Save us….
Those two are planning to remake the world to benefit pnly the elites. They are making a lot of progress, too.
“Frankly, we may get to the point where the only way of saving the world will be for industrial civilization to collapse.”
Jesus where does this dickweed get his facts? The Unabomber manifesto? I guess it’s too late to take him out with a drone strike.
And he has been screwing the world since 1972. When you see the term “The Poowers That Be”, he is one of them.
Unlike George Soros, Maurice Strong likes to stay under the radar quietly undermining Western Civilization from within.
He’s a real nasty piece of work masquerading as a harmless little bureaucrat.
They want a new world order with a new worñd religion.
“[I am] a socialist in ideology, a capitalist in methodology
A Gramscian piece of work. Disgusting.
He’s a piece of work that’s for sure.
Thanks for the article, Jim. I had no knowledge of Maurice Strong until I read your article. After a short Google search, I found that there are solid links between Strong and Al Gore, Jr.
Gore, Strong, and Barack Obama were all involved in the creation of the Chicago Carbon Trading Exchange. I wonder how much Obama and Gore got out of that deal.
I could not find a link between Al Gore, Sr and Strong. Gore, Sr. was personal friends with Armand Hammer, Chief of Oxidental Petroleum. I believe that Hammer was a big contributor to Gore’s campaigns, and Junior simply inherited the relationships. Still, I could find no connection with the old Senator Gore and Maurice Strong.
Link here: http://www.canadafreepress.com/2007/cover031307.htm
Thanks for the added leg work, Bob. As I recall, Armand Hammer was very acive in the USSR. At any rate, we are dealing with some very diabolical people, I think.
Reading thro’ the Comments, and o, what a read, I noticed no mention that Maurice Strong was Prime Minister Paul Martin’s longtime Mentor. The P. M. who ushered in Homosexual Marriage. Am I insinuating a connection? Yes.
No mention either of his Vedic Universal Ashram in Colorado.
A true Luciferian New Ager if there ever was one. This angle needs to explored and expanded upon.
Gore came on the scene long after Strong moved to higher levels of communication – internationally – the question that needs be answered is why was he exiled to China – or did he go of his own free will. after that questions one must ask how he worked with the Chinese Bureaucrats. and two things you do not find in anything I have seen written yet – one is the manner in which he developed Crestone by giving all the land to the spiritual community (his wife Hanna) stripped of the mineral rights – including water.
another main life ingredient for Maurice was his designing of the position of UN Resident Coordinator for Kofi Annan – never properly implemented, and how his working with Ted Turner set up the UN Foundation that now controls the US propaganda position on UN Activity. all in the hands of Ted Turner. one may say Maurice was evil but I for one think he was taken advantage of by those that wanted certain results – and Maurice was easily swayed to attempt to do good.
Who talks of his relationship with the Holy See – or other Jesuit conclaves? now that would be interesting reading.
“It is simply not feasible for sovereignty to be exercised unilaterally by individual nation states…” Why Maurice? Why was it okay when you were making your own fortune, but now suddenly it isn’t feasible?
I think I read in one of the articles about Strong that there were some questions raised about him and a million dollar kickback scheme having to do with the oil for food program at the UN. Might be why Strong has been living in China for the last few years.
Hi, good article — these are the shadowy characters that run the world, the people like Soros who can bring down a major economy, just because he can. Since you read my posts on messianic foreign policy, you’ll see that this man’s philosophy is beautifully served by the post-Soviet NATO strategic concept — among the triggers for action, military or otherwise, NATO lists ecological disasters. It all comes down evading the linchpin of international law, national sovereignty by paring it back and paring it back until one day national sovereignty becomes a footnote to history and the international organizations take control. To think, we thought those kinds of ideas were ludicrous and the stuff of cheap science fiction.
They do run the world and not for the benefit of mankind. Most people still think those that talk about these people working in the shadows are conspiracy nuts. The real conspiracy nut are those pushing global warming or climate change. Can you imagine the world run by the UN? The UN couldn’t organize a trip to the bathroom with six committe meetings and a million dollar budget.
Reblogged this on Tallbloke's Talkshop.
For more info on Strong and the UN, read “United Socialist Nations”
http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/originals/un_progress_governance_via_climate_change.html
Soros is involved in the UN constantly and was a member of Ban Ki Moon’s High Level Climate Finance Panel, with Stern, Huhne, Lagarde et al, read about it here:
“High Level Climate Finance”
http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/originals/high_level_climate_finance.html
Adair Turner has been around this for a long time but has been less public than Stern. Also in the background at all times, has been and still is, Crispin Tickell. He has collaborated with Strong in the past.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adair_Turner,_Baron_Turner_of_Ecchinswell
“On 1 April, it has been announced that Lord Turner would be joining George Soros’ economic think tank as a senior research fellow in its London offices.”
“Lord Turner forms unlikely alliance with Soros” – Telegraph http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/banksandfinance/9963050/Lord-Turner-forms-unlikely-alliance-with-Soros.html
(Not that unlikely, on February 5th 2009, Lord Turner had breakfast with George Soros. A few months later, Soros announced a $1 billion investment in clean-energy technology and would create an organization to advise policy makers on environmental issues and he would also establish the Climate Policy Initiative, based in San Francisco, where he will donate $10 million a year for 10 years).
Look at the crew behind INET. It Includes Ian Goldin, from Oxford Martin School and Stiglitz, Socialist International, advisor to Obama (and Salmond), also advisory board at Oxford Martin with Stern, Tickell et al.) http://ineteconomics.org/about/leadership
This prince of industry is actually a parasite weakening that which has enriched him. This guy has been funding charlatans and con-artists like Ehrich and Schneider and has been happy with their work for decades. It is people like him that have encouraged governments to close off opportunity by way of regulation, indoctrination and rewrites of history.
I wrote to Prime Minister Harper to pull this A$$holes passport and to let him rot in China and be buried there. He is no Canadian just a thief and commie LAIR .
Here in the UK we’re half way there – the EU now enacts some 75% of our laws and not one person in the UK today had an opportunity to vote on that.
Lets not BIG him up too much, at age 85 its certain there’s one rap he wont beat.
There is another word for sustainable development, it is called Communism.
Maurice Strong is a scam artist. Look up Molten Metals Technology, the UN’s Oil for Food Program and Carbon Trading to find out how Maurice Strong enriched himself at the expense of others.
The only questions I have are: does the Canadian government still have an outstanding arrest warrant out for him? Is this why he hides in Bejing?
