The First Global Revolution (Book)
The First Global Revolution is a report in the form of a book by membes of the Club of Rome, which is an organisation of mainly European and American elites, of royalty and businessmen. It outlines strategies for the elite to maintain their grip on wealth and power through restructuring of the world’s economy, though under false pretenses, which their think-tanks generate. One of their schemes has been to portray man as the enemy from whom the earth needs to be saved. Tackling the issues of pollution, environment, global warming and carbon dioxide (through governments and corporations) is the mechanism to advance this agenda.
According to Wikipedia:
The First Global Revolution is a book written by Alexander King and Bertrand Schneider, and published by Pantheon Books in 1991. The book follows up the earlier 1972 work-product from the Club of Rome titled The Limits to Growth. The tagline of “The First Global Revolution” is, A Report by the Council of the Club of Rome. The book was intended as a blueprint for the 21st century putting forward a strategy for world survival at the onset of what they called the world’s first global revolution.
Quotes from the book
Elites everywhere reconcile easily despite the surface controversy. The general public is not involved, only manipulated, in debates of this type. The gulf between elite thinking and thinking at a popular level is enormous. Here is where we find distortions and tensions difficult or even impossible to resolve.
Meaning, the elite, the rich and powerful, the royalty, all have affinity to each other due to their particular thinking. They are able to work collectively to pursue their interests (wealth, power, control). There is a huge gulf between their thinking and that of the common people. The elite have a conception of reality which is more accurate, whereas the common people are misled through the tools of the elite, such as the media, which shapes public opinion and promotes false conceptions of reality and incorrect thinking.
...the media are one of the main agents in forming public opinion and the thinking of individuals.
Money and media are the two most powerful tools that provide power and control. The money power allows control of the economies and politics of nations. And the media allows the formation of public opinion, it provides control over morals and behaviours.
It is simply not good enough that access to leadership be achieved through good television performances and simplistic speeches aimed at manipulating the masses into enthusiastic support with empty promises and avoidance of realities.
This is an admission that good leadership is not through the theatrics of politics, which is what the public see. The politics (candidates, voting, elections, democracy) is really just a show, a scam. The real power does not lie with the Prime Minister, the President, the Parliament as such. The real power lies with the issuers of money and owners of media. They have their own institutions and think-tanks, NGOs (non-governmental organisations) that devise policy and legislation. See further below a quote from Carroll Quigley to see how they operate.
Population control, necessary as it is, must be planned in terms of human well-being. It is of paramount importance that all countries striving for development should design their population policies. These policies have to be based on detailed exploration of the demographic growth prospects in relation to resource availability and development aims, including the standard of living which each country hopes to achieve. Only through informed assessment of such prospects can development planning be realistic. If the public is to respond to population control needs, it must be given sufficient information to understand the dangers of overpopulation for the individual and the benefits that would flow from population growth restraint. Such conditions are necessary if population planning is to be implemented with humanity.
Allāh’s earth is spacious and vast and He has placed within it all is minerals, resources, riches, provision, and likewise ways and means, causes and effects which can be continuously discovered and harnessed in order to facilitate mankind’s beneficial needs, whether that is water, food or energy. The earth can sustain all its iinhabitants without its resources expiring. This thinking of scarcity, poverty and the likes is a type of thinking of the greedy, wealthy elite who thinking that the earth belongs to them and everyone else is a leech, encroaching on their livelihood.
They also perceive that as populations grow, their power base diminishes, especially as modern technology (ability to communicate and trade with anyone) also empowers and liberates the common people.
So fearing these affairs, they devised plans decades ago, knowing that the fiat-money system will collapse (a mathematical certainty), so they devised plans to enable a transitition that will allow them to retain control, to implement the new system they have envisaged and devised for this purpose, which returns people back to the feudal era, where you own nothing.
Refer to: Shaykh ʿAlī al-Ḥudhayfī on Population Control Through Wars, Conspiracies, Epidemics and Vaccines.
The sudden absence of traditional adversaries has left governments and public opinion with a great void. New enemies, therefore, have to be identified.
In searching for a common enemy against whom we can unite, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like, would fit the bill.
In their totality and their interactions these phenomena do constitute a common threat which must be confronted by everyone together. But in designating these dangers as the enemy, we fall into the trap, which we have already warned readers about, namely mistaking symptoms for causes.
All these dangers are caused by human intervention In natural processes. and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome.
The real enemy then is humanity itself...
Here, they outline an ideology that can be used to advance the agenda, which is to use the false pretext of global warming to unite nations, governments and the world’s populations, so that global governance can be established. This takes away sovereignty from nations and puts it in the hands of specialists, scientists, central planners, corporations and the likes which are of course, owned and provided by the same oligarchy
The fundamental need is to reduce carbon dioxide emission...[1]
In other words, a scheme to tax human activity in order to severely curtail it. This allows total control over all human activity including food consuption, work, travel, social interactions and so on.
Allāh’s earth is spacious and everything therein is provided for mankind, there being absolutely sufficiency for all its inhabitants, and they are free to seek their livelihood, and so long as they single Him out in worship and are obedient and devout, there will always be plenty, now, mankind is actually a leech, a parasite, and he is the one that must be eliminated because man exists to serve nature, to serve the earth. This is a reversal of the Allāh’s order.
As for scarcity of provision, this does not exist in earth, but is a result of man’s greed and oppression. There is absolute sufficiency, but due to some people wanting to enrich themselves and to hoard wealth, others are disadvantaged, and also due to sin and disobedience and oppression, then mankind suffers the consequences.
It would seem that men and women need a common motivation, namely a common adversary, to organize and act together in the vacuum. Such a motivation seemed to have ceased to exist or have yet to be found. The need for enemies seems to be a common historical factor. Bring the divided nation together to face an outside enemy, either a real one or else one invented for the purpose.
The scapegoat practice is as old as mankind itself. When things become too difficult at home, divert attention by adventure abroad. Bring the divided nation together to face an outside enemy, either a real one or else one invented for the purpose. With the disappearance of the traditional enemy, the temptation is to designate as scapegoat religious or ethnic minorities whose differences are disturbing
Democracy will be made to seem responsible for the lagging economy, the scarcity and uncertainties. The very concept of democracy could then be brought into question and allow for the seizure of power.
This kind of reveals how Western nations deceive and misdirect their subjects in order to move attention away from their failings It is the scapegoat. It is global warming, or even the fear of aliens (some of them have suggested this), or it is “Islamic terrorists”, or it is the “far right extremists” and so on. With the invention of enemies, public opinion can be amalgamated and whatever actions or solutions are offered will meet with little resistance. And all the while, the actual crises needed to foster these beliefs and attitudes are actually being perpetrated or string-pulled by these same people. This can be in the form of wars, or faked pandemics, or terrorist attacks.
Finally, Professor Carroll Quigley, writing in 1981, explains how this group moves forward to advance its agendas:[2]
The greater part of its [The Times'] influence arose from its position as one of several branches of a single group, the Milner Group. By the interaction of these various branches on one another, under the pretense that each branch was an autonomous power, the influence of each branch was an autonomous power, the influence of each branch was increased through a process of mutual reinforcement.
The unanimity among the various branches was believed by the outside world to be the result of the influence of a single Truth, while really it was the result of the existence of a single group. Thus a statesman (a member of the Group) announces a policy. About the same time, the Royal Institute of International Affairs publishes a study on the subject, and an Oxford don, a Fellow of All Souls (and a member of the Group) also publishes a volume on the subject (probably through a publishing house, like G. Bell and Sons or Faber and Faber, allied to the Group).
The statesman’s policy is subjected to critical analysis and final approval in a “leader” in The Times, while the two books are reviewed (in a single review) in The Times Literary Supplement. Both the “leader” and the review are anonymous but are written by the members of the Group. And finally, at about the same time, an anonymous article in The Round Table strongly advocates the same policy. The cumulative effect of such tactics as this, even if each tactical move influences only a small number of important people, is bound to be great.
If necessary, the strategy can be carried further, by arranging for the secretary to the Rhodes Trustees to go to America for a series of “informal discussions” with former Rhodes Scholars, while a prominent retired statesman (possibly a former Viceroy of India) is persuaded to say a few words at the unveiling of a plaque in All Souls or New College in honor of some deceased Warden. By a curious coincidence, both the “informal discussions” in America and the unveiling speech at Oxford touch on the same topical subject.
In other words, what appear to the public to be seemingly separate events, and disconnected actors speaking on the same issue from different locations, different academic or professional backgrounds, and different perspectives, they are all in fact working in concert, unbeknown to the public.
