Global Warming and the Leftist War on Western Industrial Society, Parts III-V
Maurice Strong, the father of the modern environmentalism
PART III:
“Global Warming”: Anti-Capitalist, Anti-Western and Anti-White?
How anthropogenic CO2 can be a pollutant but non-anthropogenic CO2 not, even though both have the same molecular formulas and structure, is a mystery that not even the intellectual luminaries of the IPCC can explain. Of course, the evidence says otherwise; rising CO2, whether anthropogenic or not, has allowed modern farmers to increase crop yields simply because of its greater availability in earth’s atmosphere. Despite these obvious errors, the “Church of Climate Change” continues to demand that White Western nations – and only White Western nations – impose restrictions on industrial emissions of CO2 through carbon taxes and cap-and-trade policies. White Western nations are encouraged by environmentalists to squander trillions on unreliable “green” technologies and renewable sources of energy, yet environmentalists have consistently ignored one policy that has significantly increased global atmospheric CO2 in recent years, generating hundreds of millions of metric tons of the stuff annually: mass Third World immigration.
Environmentalists have long believed in the IPAT formula (I = P × A × T). Ecological sustainability is affected by Population × Affluence (per capita consumption) × Technology (environmental impact per unit consumption). In Paul Ehrlich’s original formulation (1968), the impact of population and the other two variables is not independent and additive, but interdependent and multiplicative; in other words, the variables increase or decrease in tandem with each other. If this equation is valid, as Ehrlich and his supporters believe, increasing population pressure on natural resources will accelerate environmental degradation. If impact is understood in terms of AGW, increasing consumption per capita will lead to higher industrial emissions of atmospheric CO2. If IPCC officials were objective, they would demand significant reductions in mass immigration instead of more carbon taxes and emissions trading systems (ETSs). In 2008, Kolankiewicz and Camarota presented empirical evidence that mass immigration was tied to rising CO2 emissions. For the United States, the authors conclude:
Immigrants in the United States produce about four times more CO2 in the United States as they would have in their countries of origin. The estimated 637 metric tons of CO2 U.S. immigrants produce is 482 million tons more than they would have produced had they remained in their home countries. This 482 million ton increase represents about 5 percent of the increase in annual world-wide CO2 emissions since 1980. … If immigrants in the United States were their own country, they would rankseventh in the world in annual CO2 output, ahead of such countries as Canada, France, and Great Britain.
Although recent “increases in U.S. CO2 emissions have been driven entirely by population increases as per capita emissions have stabilized,” climate alarmists continue to overlook mass immigration, a significant driver of CO2 emissions in the industrialized West. Such obliviousness in the face of the evidence indicates that modern environmentalism was never about “saving the planet.” Environmentalists are just as committed to the racial dispossession of whites in their own countries as any other group of leftists, otherwise they would all be concerned anti-immigration activists.
So what is the ulterior motive? To further understand what this may be, we turn to the career of Canadian businessman Maurice Strong (1929-2015), founder of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The UN’s current role as chief propagandist of AGW is not a random historical accident; instead, Strong’s tireless “lobbying behind the scenes” allowed the UN “to play … a central shaping role” in the ideology of AGW, making it one of the dominant leftist orthodoxies embraced by most Western governments.
In a sense, he was the right man at the right moment in time. Besides Strong’s machinations behind closed doors, he was aided by other factors, such as the collapse of Soviet communism in the early 1990s, creating a vacuum that helped pave the way for the emergence and eventual dominance of a new ideological force in the industrialized West: environmentalism. As a form of secularized Christianity with an apocalyptic vision of the future, environmentalism was uniquely situated to fill the vacuum left by the decline of Marxist ideology:
“The environmentalist narrative had much in common with the Marxist version it for so many people replaced. It divided the world into the exploiters and the exploited. It identified many of the same ‘enemies’, the power of America and of multi-national corporations, particularly those involved in oil and energy. It saw the rich nations of the world, led by the US, living at the expense of the poor. And above all it provided for its adherents the heady sense of being caught up in a great idealistic cause, aimed no longer just at freeing the world from the evils of capitalism but at something more cosmic altogether, saving nothing less than the entire planet from the greed and selfishness of humanity” (Booker 2013, pg. 339).
Strong was an ardent believer in the efficacy of state redistributive policies. In 1976, Strong told Maclean’s magazine: “I am a socialist in ideology, a capitalist in methodology.” Christopher Booker (2013) goes into some detail about Strong’s personal philosophy:
“Many of the problems of mankind, he believed, lay with the selfish materialism of the rich Western countries, which laid such a heavy burden on the poorer nations of the under-developed world. This was posing an ‘acute moral, economic and political dilemma to the whole global community.’ And one notable expression of this, he had been advised by scientists, was that ‘we may already be in the beginning stages of a major shift in the dynamics of the earth’s climate system.’”
Strong’s environmentalism was more pragmatic, than ideological. His main purpose was to use environmentalism to advance his vision of global governance under the aegis of the UN. In a 1992 essay, he wrote: “It is simply not feasible for sovereignty to be exercised unilaterally by individual nation-states, however powerful. It is a principle which will yield only slowly and reluctantly to the imperatives of global environmental cooperation.” Strong’s environmental pragmatism is confirmed by Booker (2013, pg. 311):
Maurice Strong’s primary interest was not in the ‘environment’ as such. The real driving force of his life (apart from making money) was his 30-year-old dream that the UN might be a stepping stone to full world government. And now, through his association with the apocalyptically minded Club of Rome, he had come to see ‘environmentalism’, transcending national boundaries, as the most powerful instrument whereby his own great ambition might be brought about. His setting up in 1972 of the UN Environment Program, with its own international commissariat, able to command funding from national governments, was a step towards realising his dream.
Even though Strong had retired from the UNEP in 1976, he continued to play a significant role on the world stage as a militant environmentalist. He was a member of the The World Commission on Environment and Development, or the Brundtland Commission, established by the UN General Assembly in 1983. Although chaired by then Norwegian Prime Minister Gro Brundtland, Strong was its most influential and active member. The Brundtland Commission Report was finally published in 1987. Strong played a key role in developing the report’s concept of “sustainable development,” a term of crucial significance to the IPCC’s use of climate “adaptation and mitigation” as a vehicle for the promotion of egalitarian principles. This was defined as “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It contains within it two key concepts:
- the concept of ‘needs,’ in particular the essential needs of the world’s poor, to which overriding priority should be given;
- and the idea of limitations imposed by the state of technology and social organization on the environment’s ability to meet present and future needs” (pg. 41).
Sustainable development was a call for social and economic egalitarianism, nestled within a simple Marxist dialectical framework. The antagonism between Marx’s capitalist and proletariat mirrored the antagonism between industrialized and developing nations. The First World is the primary culprit behind Third World underdevelopment. Its need for raw materials had forced developing countries to over-exploit and deplete natural resources, leading to more environmental degradation and underdevelopment. The Brundtland Commission saw this as a vicious circle; environmental degradation is both cause and effect of poverty. The poor are disproportionately more affected than the rich because of global disparities in wealth and power. For example, the wealthier nations, because of their superior infrastructure and technological base, are better able to shield themselves from the effects of air pollution. This is why the authors conclude that “inequality is the planet’s main ‘environmental’ problem; it is also its main ‘development’ problem.” The solution, in a nutshell, boils down to more money to the developing world from rich Western nations.
Strong’s participation in the Brundtland Commission would ensure that man-made climate change and socialist redistribution would be incorporated into the report. These would subsequently form the basis of the UN’s environmental policy, becoming so influential that Western governments would try to reverse the effects of the Industrial Revolution in their own countries, limiting their capacity for scientific and technological development through restrictions on CO2 emissions and increasing dependence on unreliable biofuels and green technologies. Climate hysteria and the UN’s insistence on implementation of socialistic policy on a global scale would persist well into the 21st century and possibly beyond.
In 1988, Strong had convinced the UNEP and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) to agree to the formation of an “intergovernmental mechanism” to monitor AGW and suggest policy recommendations for the UN and Western governments. This organization was the IPCC. Booker (2013, pg. 339) writes:
Maurice Strong used his influence to harness this new ‘environmentalist’ mood of the time to his lifelong dream that the United Nations should move forward towards becoming a ‘world government’. The answer to all these threats crowding in on the planet, he argued, lay in the creation of new UN structures to tackle them.” The purpose of new structures like the UNEP and the IPCC “was not just to enhance the UN’s global role by identifying it with humanity’s response to environmental challenges, but also to further his socialist ideals by redistributing wealth from the rich nations of the West to the underdeveloped world.
Billions of dollars have been siphoned off from Western taxpayers and transferred to Third World countries, ostensibly to aid in climate “mitigation and adaptation” within the “context of sustainable development.” AGW was merely a pretense for socialist redistribution on a global scale. To this day, the IPCC supports the redistribution of wealth from the developed to developing countries. In 2010, the Green Climate Fund was established, with the ostensible purpose of climate “adaptation and mitigation” in the Third World. This would, of course, necessitate the redistribution of wealth from the rich countries to the Global South. Obama pledged $3 billion to the fund in 2014, with $1 billion already handed over by 2017. However, not all Western politicians subscribed to the false humanitarianism of the UN’s avowedly socialist redistributive aims. Trump, who had promised during his election campaign to withdraw from the Paris agreement, did so on June 1, 2017. In his withdrawal speech, he said:
Beyond the severe energy restrictions inflicted by the Paris Accord, it includes yet another scheme to redistribute wealth out of the United States through the so-called Green Climate Fund … which calls for developed countries to send $100 billion to developing countries all on top of America’s existing and massive foreign aid payments. So we’re going to be paying billions and billions and billions of dollars, and we’re already way ahead of anybody else. Many of the other countries haven’t spent anything, and many of them will never pay one dime.[1]
Socialist redistribution followed necessarily from Strong’s hostility to Western industrial society, which had (in his view) impoverished and underdeveloped the Third World. “If we don’t change, our species will not survive […],” Strong said in a 1997 interview. “Frankly, we may get to the point where the only way of saving the world will be for industrial civilization to collapse.”
In 1990, he is reported to have said:
What if a small group of these world leaders were to conclude the principal risk to the earth comes from the actions of the rich countries? … In order to save the planet, the group decides: Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring this about?
Why else have so many globalists backed the the outsourcing of the West’s manufacturing base to the developing world? The West’s transition from an industrial to an information-based service economy is a deliberate plot to de-industrialize the West in the name of socialist redistribution.
Maurice Strong believed that only the destruction of Western civilization would save man from ecological catastrophe. In the Brundtland Report, co-authored by Strong, the developing nations are not to be brought up to the same level of industrialization as the West; instead, Western governments were advised to pursue less energy- and capital-intensive productive activities, all in the name of sustainable development. The result, of course, is the managed de-industrialization of the Western nations, with the aim of placing them on a more equal footing with the developing world. If social inequality and environmental degradation were the result of industrialization, then de-industrialization would return the West to the way it was before the Industrial Revolution. This, of course, was the clandestine purpose of the IPCC.
Strong’s wish to dismantle industrial civilization is not only anti-capitalist and anti-Western, but anti-White. The overwhelming majority of industrialized nations are White nations, apart from Japan and South Korea. The underlying anti-White hostility of Green dogma should be obvious. As of 2019, China is responsible for over one-quarter of all global CO2 emissions, making it the world’s biggest polluter,[2] yet the burden of reducing CO2 is entirely shouldered by the Western industrialized nations. This burden includes the payment of carbon taxes, implementation of cap and trade policies, development of green technologies and renewable sources of energy, all entirely White, Western endeavors. This is, of course, what Strong and his supporters have always wanted, since the founding of the UNEP in 1972.
Not only is the environmental movement anti-capitalist, but as Klaus (2008, pg. 4) explains, it is profoundly misanthropic and life-denying:
“If we take the reasoning of the environmentalists seriously, we find that theirs is an anti-human ideology. It sees the fundamental cause of the world’s problems in the very expansion of homo sapiens. Humans have surpassed the original scope of nature through the development of their intellect and their ability to reshape nature and make use of it. Not coincidentally, many environmentalists refuse to place human beings at the center of their attention and thinking.”
Environmental ideology demands the end of progress to save the planet. If Western nations have always been at the forefront of scientific and technological progress, it makes no sense to economically cripple them to achieve parity with the developing world. Research and development are necessarily energy- and capital-intensive; if fossil fuel consumption is drastically reduced by limiting CO2 emissions and encouraging dependence on unreliable biofuels and green technologies, how would man ever progress, scientifically and technologically, as a species? Environmentalism practiced on a large scale will simply lead to the abolition of Western civilization. By regarding humans as neither above nor a part of nature, but subordinate to it, environmentalists believe that the natural world has greater moral worth than humans. If taken to its logical conclusion, mass extinction of the human species is the best possible outcome for the planet.
At its core, environmentalism is a nihilist belief-system that rejects humanity in favor of nature. This makes environmentalism a dangerous, fanatical ideology, much like Soviet Communism. What environmentalists fail to understand is that man belongs to nature, but also transcends it because of his capacity to reason. This has freed him, albeit partially, from the tyranny of his own instincts. Insofar as man is an integral part of nature, the human impact on the environment is no different from the impact of any other endogenous process. In nature, the response to endogenous factors is adaptation and divergence, not optimal or steady-state equilibrium. This is why environmentalist aims are naively utopian. If vast geological timescales reveal enormous fluctuations in mean temperatures, sea levels, atmospheric CO2, tectonic plate activity etc. then believing that one can turn the “climate knob” back to some ideal climate through “sustainable development” is a laughable pipe dream.
In many respects, environmentalists are the new Marxists, with the same shared goal of creating an ideal world. In the words of former Czech President Václav Klaus ( 2008, pg. 5):
The environmentalists’ attitude toward nature is analogous to the Marxist approach to economics. The aim in both cases is to replace the free, spontaneous evolution of the world (and humankind) by the would-be optimal, central, or—using today’s fashionable adjective— global planning of world development. Much as in the case of Communism, this approach is utopian and would lead to results completely different from the intended ones. Like other utopias, this one can never materialize, and efforts to make it materialize can only be carried out through restrictions of freedom, through the dictates of a small, elitist minority over the overwhelming majority.
In practice, leftists have no interest in the environment; if they did they would be neo-Malthusians advocating lower population growth in places like Africa and the Middle East. Instead, only Western nations shoulder the entire burden of “fixing” AGW. China and India are the world’s biggest polluters, but continue to emit GHGs into the atmosphere with scarcely a word of criticism from either environmentalists or the IPCC. As an ideology, environmentalism is little more than black-and-white moralizing within a Marxist framework. It’s basic message is a simple one: West, bad; Third World, good. Such are the Orwellian beliefs of those who would enslave the West to save the planet.
Part IV:
The Myth of Resource Scarcity and the Threat of Environmentalism
Climate change is the greatest non-issue of the twentieth century. The only purpose of AGW was to manipulate the masses into gradually abandoning Western industrial society by fanning mass hysteria to fever pitch; once this was done, getting the politicians and the electorate to be on board with curtailing Western scientific and technological development would be a cakewalk. Making false predictions about resource depletion was one way of accomplishing this.
Ever since the first Earth Day, environmentalists have been predicting the disappearance of vital natural resources in the near future. In 1970, Kenneth Watt, an ecologist, famously predicted that declining oil production would lead to a global economic meltdown by the year 2000. His prediction was based on the work of American geologist M. King Hubbert who, in 1956, predicted that crude oil production in the US would peak around 1970 using a bell-shaped or Hubbert curve. After 2000, the world would be running out of oil. Hubbert’s prediction, known as Peak Oil, was only partially accurate. Where the theory errs is on the decline side of the Hubbert curve. The decline only applies to conventional sources of oil, whereas unconventional sources are vastly underestimated. If recovery of unconventional oil is costly, at least initially, then prices will go down as more capital investment in extractive technologies leads to more improvements in terms of efficiency.
The failure of Peak Oil, like all of the failed predictions made by environmentalists since the 1970s, teaches us that resource scarcity is a myth. Man will always adapt himself to his surroundings. The more challenging the surroundings, the greater man’s capacity for discovery and invention. It would be Western Europeans, exposed to the most challenging environment of them all, the frigid circumpolar North, who would exhibit the highest degree of creativity and intelligence. After the long night of the Christian Dark Ages, Western man would progress to such an extent that he would eventually fashion the world in his image. Environmentalists are too pessimistic; the greatest resources of all are the geniuses who have shaped the course of Western civilization – and will continue to do so – since the time of Plato and Aristotle.
We see limited resources, but in reality, the list of potential resources is infinite; all that is lacking are men with the IQ, creativity and technological know-how to visualize the endless possibilities for resources and resource extraction in a world that is, for the most creative individuals, infinite and without boundaries. Environmentalism and other totalitarian ideologies threaten to put an end to this Faustian character of the West by suppressing all deviation from the orthodoxy of political correctness. By limiting the sphere of discourse within the range of what is publicly acceptable, environmentalists create an atmosphere of intimidation where they can quietly indulge their anti-Western hatred without risk of public scrutiny. By sabotaging the West’s engine of economic growth, either by limiting industrial activity through carbon restrictions or by exporting the manufacturing base to developing countries, they will have “saved the planet.” If they are to be stopped before it is too late to reverse the damage already done to the West’s economic infrastructure, there must be a thriving marketplace of ideas; without it, the Western mind will forever remain imprisoned in the “green shackles” of environmentalism.
Part V: Beyond Environmentalism? Laissez-Faire, Stewardship of Nature and Ethnic Nationalism
A possible to solution to the problems caused by modern environmentalism is a return to the more sensible conservationism of the past. Teddy Roosevelt was among the early twentieth-century’s most prominent conservationists; through executive order, he established dozens of national parks, forest reserves and wildlife refuges across the US. His philosophy of conservation was simple:
There is a delight in the hardy life of the open. There are no words that can tell the hidden spirit of the wilderness that can reveal its mystery, its melancholy and its charm. The nation behaves well if it treats the natural resources as assets which it must turn over to the next generation increased and not impaired in value.
Man was superior to nature, but he was also its steward. With stewardship came certain moral responsibilities. He was obligated to the next generation to leave the environment better than when he had found it.
What is the best way to enforce man’s stewardship of nature? Klaus (2008, pg. 29) says:
In 1991, Gene M. Grossman and Alan B. Krueger noticed that an upside-down U-shaped relationship exists between the quality of the environment and the level of income, that is, wealth. After analyzing data from 42 countries, they calculated that the critical point occurs when the annual GDP reaches something between $6,700 and $8,400 per capita. […] Applying this to the real economy, a remarkable conclusion follows: Economic growth—an increase in wealth—is ultimately beneficial to the environment.”
Whites create better and more sanitary environments than non-Whites because only Whites create societies conducive to high rates of economic growth. Compared to the vast majority of societies, in the West, towns and cities are cleaner, the air and water are less polluted, and there is even less congestion and overcrowding. Most importantly, large sections of the natural environment have been left untouched, reserved for the enjoyment of future generations. If industrialization was as bad as environmentalists say it is, this would not be the case. Western industrial societies would be just as filthy as any in the developing world. Yet the exact opposite is true; ecological sustainability is a beneficial side effect of increasing industrialization. Once a certain level of average GDP per capita is reached, people suddenly have more leisure to develop an ecological awareness of their surroundings.
The correlation between economic growth and quality of environment is not complete without a discussion of racial factors. Whites have produced virtually all of the world’s greatest creative geniuses; this has made Western civilization the wealthiest and most powerful that has ever existed. The fact that these societies were racially homogeneous until recently meant that people were willing to care for each other, allowing them to hand over the environment “to the next generation increased and not impaired in value.” For example, when society is racially homogeneous, there tends to be greater redistribution of wealth than in more heterogeneous societies. Alesina et al. (2019) write:
[W]e find that native respondents display lower support for redistribution when the share of immigrants in their residence region is higher. This negative association is driven by regions of countries with relatively large Welfare States and by respondents at the center or at the right of the political spectrum. The effects are also stronger when immigrants originate from Middle-Eastern countries, are less skilled than natives, and experience more residential segregation.
In racially homogeneous White societies, people are more likely to trust and care for each another; but as White societies become more heterogeneous, this mutual trust disappears; as these societies fracture along racial lines, people become more isolated from each other and “hunker down” (Putnam, 2007). If people are more likely to care for each other in a White homogeneous society, they will be more likely to leave the environment better than when they found it for future generations.
Conserving natural resources for future generations will not be achieved by subordinating national interests to economic interests under the neoliberal system of world governance envisioned by the UN. If high IQ, White racial belonging and ability to create wealth are all positively associated with efficient natural resource management, then the best environmental policy is to encourage more industrial economic activity — more factories, more smokestacks, more burning of fossil fuels and more R & D, in White racially conscious societies. Government policy will not preserve nature for us, but more ethnonationalism will, especially in all-white societies.
Promotion of nationalism as part of an ideal environmental policy is incomplete without a neo-Malthusian world-view. Low-quality stock should be discouraged from breeding; at the same time, every effort should be made to encourage the reproduction of high-quality individuals. The same principle should be consistently applied on an international level. Societies that are most destructive toward the environment, with fertility rates and surplus population far in excess of the land’s carrying capacity, must be allowed to quietly vanish. Foreign aid must be acknowledged as a failure; the time has now come for pursuit of more active eugenic measures.

The restriction in CO2 emissions are not limited to the Western Countries ( Germany burns half of the coal in EU ) but mostly towards the developing countries, AFAIK.
If environmentalism restricted itself to truly caring for our natural resources, I would have no problem with it. However, with the secret science and questionable funding that these environmental groups possess taints the whole barrel.
It turns out that many claims that environmentalists make have no basis in fact and are not based on good, honest, scientific investigation. This is why environmental scientists have to hide their data, as it does not fit their agenda.
A good example of this is the so-called global warming crap, now renamed climate change. For one, the climate is always changing. The East Anglia emails in which data was purposely falsified by climate scientists comes to mind. Not only that, the climate scientists purposely installed temperature monitoring sensors in cities, contrary to manufacturers recommendations and good scientific practices, in asphalt-covered parking lots, and other heat sink areas in order to prove their (faulty) hypothesis. This is scientific dishonesty at its worst.
It turns out that the solar system is in a cooling cycle due to decreased solar activity. There are two long-term solar cycles that reinforce themselves when in phase and cancel themselves out when out-of-phase. Look up the Maunder minimum. There are no SUVs on Mars or other planets, yet they are also experiencing the same solar variability.
Environmentalism has been the method used to impose communist principles on western society, especially in the USA.
Environmentalists are not content with promoting clean water, air and land, but are hell-bent on controlling human behavior, and yes, promoting extermination plans for much of humanity as these anointed types consider mankind to be a pestilence (except for themselves) to be reduced in population by any means necessary.
Environmentalists HATE the God-given concept of private property and have imposed government-backed and enforced land use controls on private property owners without compensation, clearly an unconstitutional taking of private property. If environmentalists want to control land use, let them purchase it themselves, not by government force.
Today the only method of negating illegal government-imposed land use restrictions is shoot, shovel, and shut up.
If environmentalists had their way, the earth’s human population would be reduced by approximately 90%, with the remainder to (be forced) to live in cities, in soviet-style high rise apartments, utilizing bicycles, buses and trains for transportation. The use of automobiles and access to pristine wilderness (rural) areas would be off-limits to us mere mortals, and would only be available for these anointed environmentalists.
The endangered species act is another abuse of environmentalism. Species are always changing, to adapt to their environments-survival if the fittest. In fact, the hoopla over the spotted owl (that placed much northwest timber land off-limits to logging) turned out to be nothing but scientific misconduct and arrogance. There are virtually identical species in other parts of the northwest.
More scientific malpractice occurred when government biologists attempted to plant lynx fur in certain areas to provide an excuse for making those areas off-limits for logging or development. Fortunately, these scientists were caught, however, no punishment was imposed.
In order to promote the false religion of “global warming” aka “climate change”, NASA “scientists” purposely installed temperature sensors in city parking lots and roads contrary to good scientific principles and practices in order to “skew” the “global warming” results.
In a nutshell, today’s environmentalism IS communism like watermelon-green on the outside and red (communist) on the inside.
It is interesting to note that communist and third-world countries have the WORST environmental conditions on the planet. Instead of the USA and other developed countries spending billions to get rid of that last half-percent of pollution, it would behoove the communist countries to improve their conditions first. Here is a question for you environmentalists:
Why is there a push for restrictive environmental regulations, but only on the developed first-world countries, and not the gross polluters such as India and China?
In ’68 I was standing in front of the bookstore at Long Beach State, talking to one (((Dennis Rogin))), head of SDS [[[Students for a Democratic Society]]]- he ejaculated the following:
After Viet Nam our next assault on America and the West will be the environment
Wealth redistribution? I remember a quote from my youth early 80’s by a Dr. Ward who said something to the effect that America with 1/3 of the worlds population and she uses up something like 85% of the worlds resources. Her industrialization was certainly unparalled in the history of mankind. What was it that Marine General Smedley Butler {1881- 1940} who referred to himself as little more than “a high-class muscle man for Big Business, Wall Street and the bankers said.”
“I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested.” {War is a Racket 1935}
There is no question that the powers that be want the redistribution of wealth really and are using anything to make it happen. I figure soon enough someone will arise and do the truly unthinkable. Pull off one of the greatest robin hood moments in history.
The myth of resource depletion? Gail Tverberg writes extensively on this subject over at ourfiniteworld and though she is no Peak oiler she does recognize a problem and a very serious problem and that is one of affordability.
“Fossil fuel producers tend to extract the fuels that are easiest to extract first. Over time, even with technology changes, this tends to lead to higher extraction costs for the remaining fuels. Peak Oilers have been quick to notice this relationship.”
“The question that then arises is, “Can these higher extraction costs be passed on to the consumer as higher prices?” Peak Oil theorists, as well as many others, have tended to say, “Of course, the higher cost of oil extraction will lead to higher oil prices. Energy is essential to the economy.” In fact, we did see very high oil prices in the 1974-1981 period, in the 2004-2008 period, and in the 2011-2013 period.”
Unfortunately, it is not true that higher extraction costs always can be passed on to consumers as higher prices. Many energy costs are very well “buried” in finished goods, such as food, cars, air conditioners, and trucks. After a point, energy prices “top out” at what is affordable for citizens, considering current wage levels and interest rate levels. This level of the affordable energy price will vary over time, with lower interest rates and higher debt amounts generally allowing higher energy prices. Greater wage disparity will tend to reduce the affordable price level, because fewer workers can afford these finished goods.”
I work in the oil and gas industry and I can attest accordingly to this!
As for Peak Oil what surprised me to no end was how a bank is starting to express concerns. HSBC put out quite an academic paper on subject. I don’t think they are into myths but the unrepayable debts of oil companies? https://medium.com/insurge-intelligence/brace-for-the-financial-crash-of-2018-b2f81f85686b
Climate change? If and when our climate stops changing that is when we need to start worrying. Just imagine if lets say tomorrow it stopped raining and it never rained again for O lets say 200 hundred years. Do you think then that something serious is going on and did this in fact ever happen? According to some scientists indeed yes it did: From Yale
“In the Middle East, a ~200-year drought forced the abandonment of agricultural settlements in the Levant and northern Mesopotamia. The subsequent return to moister conditions in Mesopotamia promoted settlement of the Tigris-Euphrates alluvial plain and delta, where breachable river levees and seasonal basins may have encouraged early Mesopotamia irrigation agriculture. By 3500 B.C. urban Late Urak society flourished in southern Mesopotamia, sustained by a system of high yield cereal irrigation agriculture with efficient canal transport. Late Urak “colony” settlements were founded across the dry-farming portions of the Near East. But these colonies and the expansion of Late Urak society collapsed suddenly at about 3200 to 3500 B.C. Archaeologists have puzzled over this collapse for the past 30 years. Now there are hints in the paleoclimatic record that it may be related to a short (less than 200 years) but severe drought… Following the return to wetter conditions politically centralized and class-based urban societies emerged and expanded across the riverine and dry-farming landscapes of the Mediterranean, Egypt, and West Africa. The Akkadian empire of Mesopotamia, the pyramid constructing Old Kingdom civilization of Egypt, the Harrapan C3 civilization of the Indus valley, and the Early Bronze III civilization of Palestine, Greece, and Crete all reached their economic peak at about 2300 B.C. This period was abruptly terminated before 2200 B.C. by catastrophic drought and cooling that generated regional abandonment, collapse, and habitat-tracking. Paleo-climatic data from numerous sites document changes in the Mediterranean westerlies and monsoon rainfall during this event, with precipitation reductions of up to 30% that diminished agricultural production from the Aegean to the Indus.”
“That perspective is now changing with the accumulation of high-resolution paleo climatologic data that provide an independent measure of the timing, amplitude, and duration of past climatic events. These climatic events were abrupt, involved new conditions that were unfamiliar to the inhabitants of the time, and persisted for decades to centuries. They were therefore highly disruptive, leading to societal collapse—an adaptive response to otherwise insurmountable stresses… Climate during the past 11,000 years was long believed to have been uneventful, but paleo climatic records increasingly demonstrate climatic instability. Mulitdecadel- to multicentury-length droughts started abruptly, were unprecedented in the experience of the existing societies, and were highly disruptive to their agricultural foundations because social and technological innovations were not available to counter the rapidity, amplitude, and duration of changing climatic conditions.”
So imagine this no industrialization and yet these societies paid the price why? Is it maybe because of something someone said:
“The word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, if a country sins against me by being unfaithful and I stretch out my hand against it to cut off its food supply and send famine upon it and kill its people and their animals, even if these three men—Noah, Daniel and Job—were in it, they could save only themselves by their righteousness, declares the Sovereign Lord.” (Ezekiel 14:12–14)
A simple reading of the bible and one quickly learns droughts were a promise from God to not only the Israelites but one and all and archaeology as usual is bringing us the proof of it all. Thanks Yale and of course Gerry Fox poor soul!
“The question remains to be asked: If AGW is so obviously wrong, why do the IPCC and their globalist lackeys continue to promote this falsehood as if it were actually true?”
Well actually, I think answer is different. Because every human alive exhaling CO2 and practically every economic activity on earth producing CO2 it is attempt to install “CO2 Guilt” on entire Earth population. 21st Century “Original sin “ so to speak.
So if you are alive, you commencing a sin against “Mother Earth”
But there is a way to salvation. You should pay the “Carbon Tax”. “Carbon Tax” is a global universal tax across all globe. It is a kind of tax which needed to fund so called “New World Order.”
No wonder that usury organizations like Goldman Sachs participating in major ways.
Also its a good excuse to manipulate people into changing social and political institutes in desired direction.

BUBBLE #6 Global Warming
Fast-forward to today. It’s early June in Washington, D.C. Barack Obama, a popular young politician whose leading private campaign donor was an investment bank called Goldman Sachs — its employees paid some $981,000 to his campaign — sits in the White House. Having seamlessly navigated the political minefield of the bailout era, Goldman is once again back to its old business, scouting out loopholes in a new government-created market with the aid of a new set of alumni occupying key government jobs.
Gone are Hank Paulson and Neel Kashkari; in their place are Treasury chief of staff Mark Patterson and CFTC chief Gary Gensler, both former Goldmanites. (Gensler was the firm’s co-head of finance.) And instead of credit derivatives or oil futures or mortgage-backed CDOs, the new game in town, the next bubble, is in carbon credits — a booming trillion dollar market that barely even exists yet, but will if the Democratic Party that it gave $4,452,585 to in the last election manages to push into existence a groundbreaking new commodities bubble, disguised as an “environmental plan,” called cap-and-trade.
Mr Bardamu thank you for your educational articles about the “Human-Caused Global Warming” (AGW) scam and the political / financial exploitation of environmental issues.
I am concerned that readers who are not well-informed about nature (e.g. through serious bird-watching, participation in wildlife population surveys, attention to publications on species extinctions) may not realize that apart from the AGW lie and the hype about climate change, we really are in an accelerating mass extinction (the Holocene extinction) due to human destruction of natural habitat and direct exploitation of organisms. The driver of the destructive human activity is increased human population and per capita consumption. Further, respectable ecologists say that the outlook for life, including human life, is dismal.
To compliment Mr Bardamu’s articles, I would like to see TOO publish an article by a suitably informed ecologist about this ecological catastrophe.
“Societies that are most destructive toward the environment, with fertility rates and surplus population far in excess of the land’s carrying capacity, must be allowed to quietly vanish.”
We whites are, just as much as the darkies, deeply in love with the goodies we’ve all had far too much of. Like them, the vast majority of whites are like bower birds transfixed by the shiny things your precious “geniuses” have come up with. I see no reason to believe that chasing the pigmented bunch out of our lands (a good idea for other reasons) is going to return us to some great Golden Age of the past.
Go turn up your thermostat in the winter, then, and crank up your air conditioner when feeling just a tad too warm – there’s always some too-smart-by-half white guy out there who says we need technology to compensate for our own incapacity to endure a bit of discomfort. T. Roosevelt and the other early conservationists would not be impressed with us, not in the least. We shouldn’t have to “preserve nature”; it should be all of a piece with our daily lives. We shouldn’t have to even notice we are doing it.
Whites have lost their vision. Anything deeper than wanting more comfort and more stuff doesn’t appear to be there. A race appears for a reason and purpose but those are gone. Just wanting to keep on existing is neither a reason nor a purpose. So, why wouldn’t we vanish.
Insightful comments Barkingmad. The destructive effects on nature of whites’ consumerism are self-evident.
“Whites have lost their vision. . . . why wouldn’t we vanish.”
Yes. Many people do not yet realize that this accelerating mass extinction is expected to include humans. Further, due to the exponential rate of ecological collapse now well underway, we could vanish sooner than most people are able to appreciate. For those who doubt the reality of this disaster, I recommend involvement with a local wildlife organization to learn about changes in their survey results.
@a birdwatcher. Many thanks for your comments. I live in the country and can see things happening that I would rather not have to see. However, there seem to be a fair number of “nature lovers” around here as well who are doing what they/we can to make sure that “progress” is at least slowed.
Did the Occidental Observer forget to mention that Maurice Strong was a Jew? A relative of his, Anna Strong was the author of 30 books about the greatness of Communism.
The United Nations was only established to achieve the One World Government, often mentioned as the NWO; less often stated as what it really will be, another Dark Ages. See
http://www.truedemocracy.net/td-17/index.html It’s a small edition because the thesis was so easy to prove.
Oil is not a fossil fuel. See http://www.truedemocracy.net/td-19/index.html It’s another small edition because the thesis was so easy to prove.
The author’s statement that peak oil doesn’t apply to conventional sources is nonsense; oil is abiotic. The link just above proves that, and as such it just keeps forming continuously.
As for the developing countries, the Shah of Iran gave grants of money to poor nations such as Yemen and certain African nations in order to enable them to deplete their IMF/World Bank loans. This is one of the real reasons the Shah was deposed by the CIA, a fact that has been denied to the entire world by their country’s mainstream media. So the notion that the developing countries are being held back compared with First World nations is nonsense. The Powers-that-be are destroying First World nations with their usury so that all decent people will be destroyed regardless if they live in a developing nation or a First World nation. There is only way to avoid this. Contact me for that way.
As for Maurice Strong, here is what I have published on him:

I’m pleased you mention the abiotic origin of some oil deposits, it is a topic of which most people are unaware.
Medium to shallow depth oil deposits are most likely due to organic matter in marine sediments, but the discovery of light crude deposits at very great depths does not fit the current accepted paradigm. A more plausible explanation is a non-biological source, possibly formed by the reaction of metallic carbides with water at great depth, and of course great pressure. It is a theory proposed back in the 19th century by the great Russian chemist Mendeleev.
>> ” We see limited resources, but in reality, the list of potential resources is infinite;”
___ should be ___
“. . . the list of potential resources is [ potentially ] infinite;”
You broached a vitally important issue pertaining to resource scacity of which the vast majority of Whites are inadequately informed or worse — incorrectly informed .
Understanding the criticality of basic resource scarcity issues is indispensble with regard to indefinite future survival . In view of that criticality , the above correction is not mere linguistic pedantry .
>> ” all that is lacking are men with the IQ, creativity and technological know-how to visualize the endless possibilities for resources and resource extraction ”
You do a superb job , with the above quote , of specifying three of the most critical resource scarcities — sufficient IQ , high creative ability , and technical knowledge .
Presumably , you also mean [ resource creation ] from existing materials as a special category of ” resource extraction ” other than mining operations .
In any case , there should be no doubt about what is actually involved in creating a modern resource that would get listed on the [ potentially ] infinite resource list __
1) a child is born
2) the child is raised to become a STEM researcher and thus utilizes the following resources : air , water , food , shelter , clothing , medical resources , educational resources , financial resources , ( et. al. )
3) the STEM researcher utilizes the following additional resources : employment resources , legal resources , political resources , maybe even religious resources , ( et. al. ) .
The average cost to raise a USA child to grade 12 graduation from a public school was about 247,000 USD in year 2018 ; where the value of a potentially infinite amount of money is totally dependent on [ resource creation ] other than money itself .
Your article broaches many other important issues that are beyond the scope of this comment .
in a world that is, for the most creative individuals, infinite and without boundaries.
Well, looky here:
http://www.english.iswnews.com/7313/lack-of-gas-in-gas-stations-of-saudi-arabia/
In this footage, Saudis are reporting from lack of gas and long lines to get gas. According to our sources, lack of gas in Saudi Arabia is more critical than Saudi officials thought.
They reached for their strategic reservoirs until fuel (gas and diesel) arrives from other countries.
Could this be the trigger for blowing up the Middle East? If this goes on for weeks thus crippling the country food and other essentials? I don’t know?
This should present many interesting discussions over at Gail’s blog ourfintworld.com
