Chapter Eleven 

The Great Energy Swindle 

"The craziest notion that has hit this country in 
a long while ... is that shortages of gas, beef 
and a lot of other things are bad for the 
American people. What America needs is more 
shortages" 

-James Reston (CFR) 
New York Times 

Having set the wheels in motion for establishing international controls over food and 
population, the Rockefellers then made their move in the all-important energy field. As 
Dr. Medford Evans has noted: 'Energy makes the world go 'round." And he adds the 
obvious, but crucial fact: "Who controls what, makes the world go round controls the 
world." In other words, when the New World Order controls the planet's energy, the 
world dictatorship will be established. 

Syndicated columnist Paul Scott informs us: "Once [the] concept of international policy 
control over food is accepted by UN members, Kissinger then plans to move to establish 
this same concept over oil and eventually all energy in the world.-" 

You will recall that in the last chapter we quoted a report by Mr. Scott that Kissinger 
believes that by controlling energy, especially oil, the Insiders can control nations and 
their financial systems; and that such international controls of oil and monetary systems 
could bring about a world government within the next five years. 

But according to the Rockefeller- Kissinger game plan, before oil can be 
internationalized, there must be a crisis which threatens to bring about a worldwide 
depression. Remember, " crises ... are the great federators." There can be little doubt that 
the current international petroleum crisis has been deliberately contrived. It was 
engineered from start to finish. The planning involves typical bureaucratic idiocy which 
may or may not have been intended to have the result which it inevitably did; and to 
conspiratorial planning by Rockefeller agents who at all times knew exactly what they 
were doing. 

Contrary to the incantations of the doomsayers, America is not running out of oil. As Don 
Oakley of the Copley News Service notes: " Forevery one of the billions upon billions of 
barrels of petroleum the United States has consumed since Colonel Drake drilled the first 



well in 1859, at least another barrel remains in the ground." According to John Knight, 
editorial Chairman of the Knight newspapers: "A figure of 100 billion barrels [of oil 
reserves] is offered as conservative, although some studies place the figure at several 
hundred billion barrels excluding shale oil.- 

Get that? We are sitting on several hundred billion barrels excluding shale. Yet even 
today the United States consumes only about six billion barrels of oil a year. 

Shale oil is-oil locked up in porous rock. The Interior Department estimates our"easily- 
recoverable shale oil at eighty billion barrels, and shale oil recoverable with intensive 
technology at six hundred billion barrels. The six hundred billion barrels that appear to be 
recoverable are enough to last one hundred years at the present rate of consumption. 
However, most US shale resources are on federal lands in Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah. 
None is yet being produced commercially because the federal government has been very 
slow - some say suspiciously slow -to permit development of this crucial resource. 

We are literally surrounded by oil. U, S. News & World Report stated as far back as 
November 22, 1971 that our total offshore oil reserves amount to approximately 780 
billion barrels. This does not, of course, include the estimated twenty billion barrels of oil 
in Alaska. Counting only the offshore oil, the Alaskan reserves and the easily recovered 
shale oil, the United States has 880 billion barrels of oil reserves. At the current rate of 
consumption, my calculator says that this is enough oil to last beyond the year 2121. 
That is a lot longer than any of us is going to last. Surely we can produce alternative 
forms of power and energy in that amount of time! 

Why is it, asks economist Tom Rose, that after over three hundred years of continuous 
material progress in America, without fuel shortages, we should suddenly stumble upon 
an energy crisis in 1973 ? If America has abundant fuel supplies, why aren't they 
abundantly available? Could it be, asks Professor Rose, that the historical process by 
which these supplies have been made available has changed? He observes: 

Historically, energy in America has been supplied by profit-seeking private entrepreneurs 
and profit-oriented corporations. These risk-takers have invested millions and millions of 
dollars every year in their long-range plans to supply the ever-growing energy needs of 
the American people. Historically, they have adjusted their production plans to price 
signals received through the competitive marketplace. For over three centuries this free 
market process has been eminently successful. And competing sources of energy have 
always been in abundant supply at reasonable prices. 

In recent decades, however, the bureaucrats and the politicians have thrust themselves 
into the market process. As Professor Rose notes, "during the last two or three decades- 
especially since 1955 when the FPC (Federal Power Commission) started controlling the 
wellahead price of gas and oil-energy suppliers have faced non-market signals ... Neither 
the Mideast war nor American prosperity has caused our present energy crisis. It was 
caused by political meddling.-" 



That last point is so crucial to understanding the mess we are in that we want to repeat it. 
Fuelish, oil-consuming Americans didn't cause the energy crisis. The Mideast war didn't 
cause it. Our growing prosperity didn't cause it. Political meddling (by some of the 
brightest -planners around, we might add) did. 

Have you heard the Rockefellers, Standard Oil execs, or even other petroleum countries 
screaming bloody murder about the fact that a bunch of paper-shuffling bureaucrats have 
so distorted the realities of supply and demand that we now face a worldwide crisis? Yes, 
Mobil has run a few ads hinting at this. But, if the Rockefellers really wanted to 
demonstrate what a palpable fraud the energy crisis really is, they would be showing 60- 
minute documentary specials on ABC, NBC and CBS. Instead, these networks have 
produced a spate of specials to bamboozle the public into believing we are down to our 
last gallon of Exxon. 

One of the major excuses for the massive interference by government in the development 
and marketing of energy resources has been the ecology movement. The "crisis" used to 
strangle development of offshore oil began with the Santa Barbara oil spill in 1969. The 
"Liberal" media heralded the Santa Barbara spill as a greater disaster than the bubonic 
plague. Television newswatchers were treated every night to heart-rending closeups of 
gooey gulls covered with crude oil. 

A study of the Santa Barbara spill was subsequently undertaken by forty leading 
scientists under the direction of Dr. Dale Straughan, a marine biologist from the 
University of Southern California. This $250,000 study produced a 900 page report 
which declared: "Not only had overall damage by the spill been greatly overestimated, 
but where damage had been done, nature had returned it to normal." 

The conclusions of Dr. Straughan and her team became one of the biggest secrets since 
the whereabouts of judge Crater. The Brinkleys, Cronkites, and others who had made a 
national horror story of the unfortunate spill were so busy beating the drums to stop all 
offshore drilling that they didn't have time to cover the less dramatic, truthful story of 
what really happened in Santa Barbara. They were too preoccupied with promoting a 
shortage - producing power grab by government to report that out of approximately 
fourteen thousand offshore wells which 

have been drilled, there have been a grand total of three - yes, three- serious oils pills. 

The phony propaganda about the Santa Barbara spill was the excuse used by the Nixon 
Administration to cancelleases and strangle offshore oil and gas drilling, not only in 
Santa Barbara Channel, but around the nation. Just as it had done time and time again, the 
Administration surrendered to the cries of the mob and kept silent about the known facts. 
While consumption of petroleum and gas was jumping every year, the Nixon poohbahs 
put the lid on expansion of supply. Anybody who has plodded his way through 
elementary economics knows that if demand increases while supplies and prices remain 
the same, the inevitable result will be a shortage. The masters of Nixonomics knew what 
they were doing, and they did it anyway. 



But stopping further offshore drilling was not the only plus from the Santa Barbara oil 
spill for the creators of our shortages. In the wake of this "ecological disaster," Senator 
Henry Jackson of Washington was able to put through his oft-defeated bill to establish a 
national policy on environmental protection and to create the Council on Environmental 
Quality. The law seemed innocent enough at first glance. But, as Dan Smoot relates in: 
The Business End of Government 

. . it was a sleeper, as activist attorneys exultantly called it after it was safely on the 
statute books. This legislation provided the activists with legal standing to make court 
attacks against major business activities throughout the United States .... 

The environmental 1 - policy law left the definition of environment so vague and open- 
ended that it gave federal courts almost limitless power to veto the actions of executive 
agencies and the laws of Congress. No business can initiate a major activity without first 
dealing with a government agency of some kind-about permits, licenses, rights-of-way 
leases, land leases, use of public thoroughfares, and so on. Any group of two or more 
people willing to post a small bond and engage an attorney can bring court action against 
a government agency, alleging that, in granting permission for a business activity, the 
agency failed to file an adequate environmental -impact statement as required by the 
National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. They can demand a court injunction to halt 
the business activity until the government agency files an adequate impact statement and 
suggests an alternative approach. 

The Jackson Bill, which Richard Nixon refused to veto, was used to delay the 
construction of the Alaskan pipeline for an incredible five years. Under the guise of 
keeping the tundra virginal for the dainty hooves of caribou, the ecomaniacs tied up the 
pipeline project in the courts. A pipeline across the frozen tundra of central Alaska is 
about as conspicuous as a thread stretching from the eighth to the ninth hole of a golf 
course-and about as harmful to the game. But the Jackson Environment Law gave the 
radicals not only respectability in the courts, but a legal club that declared any developers 
must be assumed guilty until they proved their innocence. 

Stung by public outrage, Congress finally acted to allow the contractors to begin 
construction of the pipeline. So after a five-year delay, we can look forward to crude 
pouring out the end of that pipeline sometime in 1978. But had the Nixon Administration 
not gone smilingly down to defeat at the hands of the ecomaniacs, Alaskan crude would 
now be flowing into refineries at the rate of one million barrels a day-which just happens 
to be almost the same amount that the US has been importing from the Middle East. 
Needless to say the Sierra Clubbers are about as popular in Alaska as Bobby Riggs at a 
baby shower for Gloria Steinem. 

One of the most important moves in the effort to create artificial shortages of petroleum 
occurred in June 1970, when President Nixon issued an Executive Order creating the 
Environmental Protection Agency. A preliminary Report on the activities of the 9,000 
bureaucrats in the EPA has now been issued by the House Appropriation Subcommittee. 
It declares: 



The subcommittee is convinced that the Environmental Protection Agency has played a 
major role in the current energy crisis. The approval by the agency of overly restrictive 
state plans, which call for the meeting of primary and secondary ambient air standards at 
the same time, has resulted in the need for the industry to convert from coal to low sulfur 
fuels. This increased requirement for oil and gas has been a major contributor to our 
current fuel problems. 

In addition, the automobile emission control standards imposed by the agency have 
greatly increased the requirements for gasoline, which is also in short supply and will 
probably require rationing. 

Mr. Nixon's Environmental Protection Agency, in the name of controlling air pollution, 
has forced auto manufacturers to pile all kinds of gas-eating gadgets onto our motors. The 
net result has been a drop of at least twenty % in mileage, and considering the near 
impossibility of keeping such engines properly tuned, the loss may be as high as fifty %. 

According to Shirley Scheibla, Barron's Washington editor, the gadgets applied to our 
cars by the EPA now resulting the use of 300,000 extra barrels of gasoline a day; by 
1980, the controls will require the consumption of an added two million gallons of 
gasoline a day. Meanwhile, federally required reduction of lead in gasoline has reduced 
fuel efficiency by another twenty %. And, no two experts even seem to agree on whether 
the required gadgetry actually decreases pollution. Some think that the net effect is an 
increase. We don't pretend to know, but it seems to us that if our car is burning up to 
twice as much gasoline, the net amount of pollutants coming out the exhaust pipe has 
probably increased. 

The ten thousand independent oil companies in the US drill 80 % of the wells. 
Government or "people-control of the oil industry would, in practice, mean Rockefeller 
control over their competitors. It would mean the death knell for the independents and 
create One Big Oil Company under the sway of the House of Rockefeller. Yes, 
competition is still a sin. 

If you still have any lingering doubts about the Rockefellers promoting the energy 
shortage for power and profit, consider the fact they have financed their alleged enemies, 
the ecomaniacs. 

Incredible, you say? Well, it's true. And for reasons other than the Rockefellers' love of 
blue sky and falling profits. The - environmental legislation - pushed through Congress 
was based on lobbying by innumerable "experts. "Putting together these -citizens lobbies- 
takes lots of money; and contrary to the hokey publicity from most such groups, the 
dollars do not come from school children donating their milk money-or even from 
college students foregoing a beer. The money to fight " the entrenched interests- comes 
largely from those same entrenched interests, and the foundations which they have 
created. It represents the old ploy of Bre'r Rabbit begging Bre'r Bear not to throw him 
into the briar patch. Only in this case, Bre'r Rabbit is the Rockefellers and the briar patch 



is socialistic controls. Remember, more controls mean worse shortages; and when oil and 
gas are scarce, prices go right through the skylight.* 

* About one-third of the cost of a gallon of gas goes to the oil company. When gasoline 
reaches one dollar a gallon, as most experts anticipate, Standard Oil's share will be a lot 
bigger than when you could filler up at 34.9c 

During Congressional Hearings on the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, none 
other than J. C. Harrar, then president of the Rockefeller Foundation (and a CFR member, 
of course), advocated the United Nations developing an international program for dealing 
with worldwide pollution. Other lobbyists who joined the clamor for more government 
controls were financed by he Ford Foundation, which is more closely interlocked with the 
Rockefellers than two teenagers in the last row of drive-in movie. Edward Rogers, 
general counsel of the Ford-backed Environmental Defense Fund, actually advocated 
international control of automobiles. 

The testimony at such hearings and the lists of those presenting it are monotonously 
repetitious. In one way or another all those appearing favored an increase in federal 
control over the "environment" - which boils down to federal controls over almost 
everything and everybody, Some witnesses, less sophisticated than their mentors, boldly 
called for the destruction of the capitalist system; others suggested that -regional- or - 
international planning agencies are needed to cope with pollution. 

The loud - mouth Marxists have relatively little impact on Congress, of course. It is the 
corporate socialists in the Brooks Brothers suits who are really dangerous. They bring 
with them the credibility, prestige and financial backing of the Rockefeller complex, and 
you can be - sure Congress listens to them very closely. 

Although it seems to have been around forever, the environmental movement appeared 
on the national scene almost overnight. Five years ago, not one person in a thousand had 
even heard the word ecology. But suddenly all of - us were supposed to panic at the 
thought of the slimy hand of pollution suffocating us as we sleep. 

The major bankrollers of this -spontaneous- movement were the numerous Rockefeller 
foundations, the Rockefeller-controlled Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller controlled 
Carnegie Foundation and the Rockefeller interlocked Mellon (Gulf Oil) foundations. 
Among the most vigorous public advocates were Roberto Anderson of Atlantic Richfield 
(and the CFR) and Henry Ford II of the Ford Motor Company (and the CFR). 

The number one piggy bank for the -ecology movement has been the Ford Foundation, 
almost all of whose trustees are members of the Rockefellers' CFR. It has poured millions 
of dollars into hustling population planning and environmental controls of every sort. 

The Ford Foundation gave $2 million to the Energy Policy Project to aid it in the creation 
of a federal energy policy. For that sum of money, it expected results, and it got them. 
Ford also gave $309,000 to the Center for Law in the Public Interest and $162,000 to the 



Royal Institute of International Affairs (the English counterpart of our CFR) to study the 
role of oil companies in the energy market! 

The most effective organization in using law suits to force Zero Economic Growth on the 
country-by blocking construction of refineries, airports, shopping centers, housing and 
every other form of development-is the Sierra Club. The Sierra Club was for many years 
a respected group honestly promoting conservation and preservation of forests and 
wildlife, until it was taken over by political radicals. Now, using the Environmental 
Protection Act, it has used the courts to throw hundreds of thousands of workers out of 
jobs. 

The Sierra Club is the very symbol of the ecology movement's fight against the "big 
corporations". Supplying the funds for its allegedly humanitarian crusade is you guessed 
if ! -the Ford Foundation. Ford made grants to the Sierra Club Legal Defense Fund of 
$98,000 in 1971 and $143,000 in 1972, and the Rockefellers have also donated to the 
Sierra Club Legal Defense Fund. 

Next to the Ford Foundation, the leading founders of the ecology movement are the 
various Rockefeller foundations. The Rockefeller Brothers Fund, the Rockefeller 
Foundation and the Rockefeller Family Fund are all contributing heavily to the 
environmental revolution from which Standard Oil is profiting so handsomely by driving 
petroleum prices into orbit. 

We realize that this sounds like something out of Ripley's -Believe It or Not." But here 
are the facts: 

In 1969, the Rockefeller Foundation donated $250,000 to the Academy of National 
Sciences; $200,000 to the American Conservation Association; $60,000 to the National 
Audubon Society; and, $25,000 to the Conservation Fund. 

In 1970, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund gave $500,000 to the Population Council. The 
Rockefeller Foundation gave ecology grants of $10,000 to the New School for Social 
Research, and $ 10 000 to the Population Reference Bureau. 

In 1971, the Rockefeller Foundation gave $300,000 to Citizens for a Quieter City; 
$23,200 to Columbia University Center for Policy Research; $500,000 to the 
Conservation Foundation; $152,000 to the Environmental Law institute; $50,000 in 
ecology funds to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; and, $1,000,000 to the 
Population Council, 

In 1972, the Rockefeller Family Fund gave $10,000 to the National Resources Defense 
Council; and two grants, one for $17,750 and one for $25,000, to the Sierra Club Legal 
Defense Fund. The Rockefeller Foundation donated $25,000 to M.I.T. for environmental 
studies, and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund donated $ 5oo,ooo to the American 
Conservation Association. 



And, in 1973, the Rockefeller Foundation gave $500,000 to the Population Council and 
$25,000 to the Population Crisis Committee. The Rockefeller Brothers Fund donated 
$250,000 to the Population Council, $10,000 to the Population Council, and $25,000 to 
the Population Institute. 

It should be mentioned that it is illegal for foundations to finance political activities. If 
the law were - enforced, these foundations would lose their tax exemption. But don't hold 
your breath until this happens. The IRS's sauce for your goose is not sauce for the 
Rockefellers' gander. 

Typical of the bilge pumped out by the organizations bankrolled by the Rockefellers is 
this Los Angeles Times report of August 27,1975: 

Americans will have to eat less, switch from cars to bicycles and adopt other belt- 
tightening measures in the next decade because the energy shortage is here to stay, 
according to a paper published by the Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies. The paper's 
author, Abraham M. Sirkin, a former member of the State Department's policy and 
planning staff, predicts the cutbacks will produce a generation of healthier Americans. 

The Aspen Institute, we hope you will not be surprised to learn, is funded by the 
Rockefeller Brothers Fund. 

The Rockefellers are not the only oil interests helping to finance the ostensibly anti-oil 
ecology movement. Major donors have been Gulf Oil Foundation, the Humble 
Companies Charitable Trust, the Mobil Foundation and the Union Oil of California 
Foundation. All, of course, are either Rockefeller-controlled or interlocked with the 
Rockefellers through the CFR. These groups in essence paid for the legislation which has 
killed the mileage obtained by automobiles. But, the ultimate stakes are much bigger - 
using the continued energy crisis as the rationale for the creation of the New World 
Order. 

Ralph Nader, the man who once told an audience that what we need is "somekind of 
communism" is also bankrolled by the Rockefeller network in his attempt to destroy the 
free enterprise system. Among the groups financing the Caped Crusader are the 
ubiquitous Ford Foundation and the Field Foundation, both CFR interlocked. Nader is not 
really fighting the Establishment. He works for it. According to a Business Week article 
reprinted in the Congressional Record of March 10, 1971, John D. Rockefeller IV is even 
an advisor to Nader. 

Naturally, the shortages of petroleum which have been artificially created in the US has 
made us dependent on foreign oil. In order to calm an angry public, there has been much 
talk of taking off the political restrictions and achieving " energy independence". It is 
strictly a smokescreen. While talking independence, the Rockefeller conspirators are 
planning to keep us dependent on foreign oil. After all, they own or market most of that 
foreign oil. 



In the Wall Street Journal for March 6, 1974, Henry Kissinger admitted the talk about 
"energy independence was a fraud. Project Independence is merely "away station on the 
road to a new Project Inter-dependence and at the World Energy Conference in Detroit 
during September 1974, President Ford, speaking without any detectable ventriloquist's 
strings, declared:" I call on all of you to respond to the challenge and to propose to the 
world your recommendations for a global energy strategy. Whether you call it Project 
Interdependence, or some other name, is not the essential point." It is the - 
interdependence- which is essential. The created crises in energy, food, and population 
are straw men, set up by the Insiders so they can be knocked down -and a "New World 
Order- can be established. Yes, crises are the great federator. 

Kissinger's plan to maneuver international policy control over oil is beginning to emerge, 
and, as Paul Scott notes, it "is one of the most intriguing stories of our times." 

According to Paul Scott, officials at the World Bank have estimated that the flow of 
Western dollars to oil producers in the Middle East is "now running at the rate of $100 
billion a year -or more than all of US investments abroad. To put it in the most stark 
terms, the Middle East oil producers are accumulating so much wealth from the Western 
industrial nations that they will be able -if current prices continue- to buy them out by 
1980" 

With OPEC gaining control of most of the world's oil and money, Kissinger sees a 
confrontation situation developing between oil producers and consumers, reports Scott, 
out of which will arise" the internationalization of oil production, pricing and 
distribution.- It would be the ultimate monopoly. 

Very conceivably the Arab sheiks are being set up to trigger a war in the Middle East. 
Remember, Kissinger is already on record as stating that we might invade the Middle 
East if oil is embargoed. With the super- sophisticated military equipment we are 
providing the sheiks the war would be a bloody one -especially if it, like the arranged 
wars in Vietnam and Korea before it, is fought under the UN banner. The end result, of 
course, would be the -internationalization of oil- 
Again, only the naive will think that the Rockefellers are having their agent Kissinger 
arrange the " internationalization of oil" so that the Oilbucks can be stripped of their 
holdings. The prospects of such a scenario should make any independent oil developer in 
the world worry. Competition is still a sin, and monopoly is still the name of the 
Rockefeller game. 

While Armegeddon is being set up in the Middle East, the Rockefellers are preparing to 
stick John Q. Taxpayer with the bill for the world's oil deficits. A story in the Chicago 
Tribune of October 2, 1974, is headlined "US To Back New Way to Foot World Oil Bills 
-Simon." Secretary of the Treasury William Simon, an international banker and CFR 
member, told leaders of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund that if " 
developing nations" were having difficulty paying the oil tab, they need look no farther 



than the American taxpayer. "If there is a clear need for additional international lending 
mechanisms, the United States will support their establishment," he said. 

Under the Kissinger-Rockefeller plan, Americans will pay the bills in more ways than 
one. Without a peep of complaint from the kept press, Kissinger met with members of the 
International Energy Agency and agreed to share our oil with them in case the 
Rockefellers stage another Arab oil boycott. Unkept columnist Paul Scott reveals: 

Under the oil- sharing plan worked out recently in Brussels by the US and 1 1 other major 
industrial countries, for example, domestically produced oil in the US for the first time in 
our history would be shared and allocated in case of another Middle East oil embargo. 

Precise allocations would be worked out by a quasi independent management 
organization set up within the Paris - based Organization for Economic Cooperation and 
Development, an economic consultative grouping of leading non-Communist industrial 
nations. 

Most puzzling and alarming part of this Kissinger oil plan is that it in effect puts the - 
triggering device- in the hands of the Middle East oil producers-thus increasing the power 
of their oil weapon and making it more tempting for the Arabs to use. 

For control over US domestic oil to pass into the hands of an international body, all the 
Middle East oil producers now need do is impose their oil embargo as they did during the 
1973 Arab-Israeli war. 

The control over agriculture and energy as part of the Rockefeller- Kissinger strategy for 
looting the country is the core of the Insiders' plan to force Zero Economic Growth on the 
country. 

Leading the call for ZEG is a group of international establishmentarians called The Club 
of Rome. The Club is described by author Ovid Demaris in Dirty Business as 
"anorganization of distinguished industrialists, bankers and scientists from twenty- five 
countries. "The Club was created at the Rockefeller family's private estate at Bellagio, 
Italy. The Club put out a report which warned that, unless the standard of living of the 
developed nations was severely restricted, "A rather sudden and uncontrollable decline in 
both population and industrial capacity- was inevitable. 

Here we have fifty key businessmen and international bankers gathering under the 
auspices of the Rockefeller family and coming to the conclusion that production in 
America should be reduced! Again, understand that it is your standard of living they are 
proposing to decimate, not their own. 

Naturally, the controlled press did everything possible to legitimize the scare stories 
concocted by the Roman clubbers. For example, here is how Time magazine portrayed 
their predictions in a feature story on January 24, 1972: 



The furnaces of Pittsburgh are cold; the assembly lines of Detroit are still. In Los 
Angeles, a few gaunt survivors of a plague desperately till freeway center strips, 
backyards and outlying fields, hoping to raise a subsistence crop. London's offices are 
dark, its docks deserted. In the farm lands of the Ukraine, abandoned tractors litter the 
fields; there is no fuel for them. The waters of the Rhine, Nile and Yellow rivers reek 
with pollutants. 

The message from these fright peddlers appeared in a 197 page paperback which was 
published in eighteen editions and made available in twenty-three languages, including 
Serbo-Croatian, Finnish, and Thai. The Insiders who run the show know that the only 
way to achieve surrender by consent is to frighten Americans into supinely accepting 
their plans. 

Before continuing, however, we feel duty bound to assure you that, despite the huzzahs 
from the chorus of the CFR -controlled media, the Rockefeller -sponsored study," titled 
The Limits To Growth,was (and is) considered absurd by informed demographers. 
Wilfred Beckerman, the respected professor of political economy at the University of 
London, went so far as to call the book " abrazen piece of impudence." (Which is the 
harshest language you will ever hear a proper Englishman use.) 

Our only hope for survival, the ecological fright peddlers assure us, is ZPG combined 
with ZEG. America has already reached Zero Population Growth, but putting enough 
brakes on our economy to achieve Zero Economic Growth has been a hayburner of a 
different hue. Only direct government intervention can assure ZEG as advocated by the 
Club of Rome. 

Clickety-clack, clickety-clack, the message is being dutifully parroted by the 
Establishment media as its propaganda machines grind out the doctrine of survival 
through a lowered standard of living. Features like "Running Out of Everything - 
(Newsweek) and "Time For A New Frugality- (Time) have been appearing with 
regularity in the slick weeklies. Much of the propaganda has been geared towards making 
Americans feel guilt for their prosperity and shame for their alleged greed and profligacy. 

So what is the solution? There is only one way to Stop the profit system and that is by 
direct government intervention (which can take a wide variety of forms taxation, 
regulation, allocation, rationing, etc.). The two words most often used to describe such 
governmental actions are of course, socialism and fascism. 

But, proponents of socialism within the Establishment are careful never, ever, to use the 
word. While outspoken radicals are less hypocritical, Liberal politicians, bureaucrats, and 
media managers are aware that mainstream Americans know what socialism means, and 
they want no part of it. So the Establishment salesmen for socialism, who for thirty years 
have been implementing P while the radicals talk about it, always use code words and 
euphemisms. Instead of calling socialism or fascism by their right names, the 
Establishment prefers terms like planning. 



The question is: Who is going to plan your life, you or the Frankenstein monster created 
by the Rockefellers, called Big Brother? 

If the Rockefeller - CFR clique has an official spokesman, it is James Reston, leading 
columnist of the New York Times whose syndicated column appears in hundreds of 
papers across the nation. Read Reston and you can keep up with the latest Rockefeller- 
Establishment line. In 1973, Reston wrote: 

The craziest notion that has hit this country in a long while -and we've had quite a few 
nutty notions lately -is that shortages of gas, beef and a lot of other things are bad for the 
American people, 

What America really needs is more shortages. It is not our shortages but our surpluses 
that are hurting us. Too much gas, too much booze, and -fire me tomorrow! - too much 
newsprint are our problem. . . . 

Yes, you read that correctly. James Reston of the New York Times says that what we 
need are more shortages. Like playing for a losing football team, shortages build 
character. The more we are deprived, the better off we will be! Of course, the worthies 
who insist you must take a hacksaw to your own standard of living are themselves living 
very well. And they expect to continue to do so, thank you. 

The whole ploy is such obvious hogwash that not even P. T. Barnum would have dared 
try to peddle it. Of course, times were different when he said there's a sucker born every
