Environmental think tank aspired to global matrix of manufactured consent
Recently unearthed documents from the private collection of former diplomat and Bilderberg regular George C. McGhee have revealed (among other things) that the Club of Rome in 1970 wanted to create a “global matrix approach”, or G-Matrix approach, as a means of bringing people into an enviro-eugenicist mindset globally.
The Club of Rome was an influential think tank, advocating among other things worldwide population reduction and global environmental governance.
The author of the uncovered manuscript from 1970 was Italian industrialistAurelio Peccei, who founded the Club of Rome in 1968. Peccei wrote that any acceptance of the Club’s conclusions “relies heavily on a global matrix approach”. Furthermore he writes that these conclusions by the infamous Club (which includes advocacy of worldwide population reduction) can only be generally accepted “through (…) an iterative, global and substantive process”. Through such a comprehensive process, writes Peccei, mankind can “gradually attain a value-base consensus, and avoid the prospects of a critical future situation.”
“The work program exposition of the Club of Rome project relies heavily on the global (or G) matrix approach. It therefore appears desirable to start the discussion of the work program by explicating the structure and utility of such a matrix.”
The uncovered document from McGhee’s private collection states outright that the Club has sought to manufacture a consensus in all layers of society in regards to the conclusions of the Club’s reports as published in the early 1970s.
“It should be pointed out (…) that such a consensus is meant to provide “the initial conditions” for the operational evolution of the Club of Rome Project”, Aurelio wrote in 1970.
“It should only be viewed as an exemplary value-base whose universality, validity, and credibility depends on the judgments of the DELPHI technique participants. Nevertheless, it will represent an attempt for a substantive and professionally coordinated delineation of the “Predicament of Mankind”. The more groups engage in similar intellectual efforts, the more meaningful the dialogue on the worldwide problematique will become.”
This “problematique” is being described as “the constantly widening cultural, economic and technological gaps among nations, or the fearsome multiplication of the population on a finite planet, or the transnational phenomenon of youth rebellion, or the possibility of crossing the threshold past which it will be feasible to manipulate human genetic material.”
The mention of the DELPHI method in the context of this information-snippet about a global matrix of manufactured consent is interesting. According to Wikipedia, the method has been widely used for business forecasting and other forecasting “covering such topics as scientific breakthroughs, population control, automation, space progress, war prevention and weapon systems.”
As I covered in an earlier article, the predictive systems and models of the Club of Rome were used by the Chinese to set up their brutal one-child policy. In 1978, a group of Chinese scientists visited several scientific conferences in Europe, and readily picked up on the ideas distributed by the Club of Rome. At the head of this Chinese delegation was a man credited for introducing China’s notorious one-child policies, source of so much hardship suffered by the Chinese people in the last decades. Robert Zubrin, senior fellow with the center for security policy, published an op-ed in the Washington Times, reaffirming that Greenhalgh’s study is correct. Zubrin wrote:
“In June 1978, Song Jian, a top-level manager in charge of developing control systems for the Chinese guided-missile program, traveled to Helsinki for an international conference on control-system theory and design. While in Finland, he picked up copies of “The Limits to Growthand: Blueprint for Survival”- publications of the Club of Rome, a major source of Malthusian propaganda – and made the acquaintance of several Europeans who were promoting the report’s method of using computerized “systems analysis” to predict and design the human future.”
To illustrate that the Global Matrix was further developed, the 1991 publicationThe First Global Revolution: A Report to the Club of Rome shows us that early on the common denominator was invented around which the world could rally, thereby creating a common purpose:
“In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution,the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome. The real enemy then, is humanity itself.”
The concept of a Global Matrix of manufactured consent, as described and developed by the founder of the Club of Rome, illustrate that the scam is perpetrated on such an unprecedented scale, that up until a few years ago few dared question its validity.

– You posted something from the idiots at InfoWars? Right off the bat, this is bat shit crazy.
Secondly, no one has every brought up eugenics, except right wing nuts.
Third, we are all seeing: “pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages and famine starting NOW” So, looks like the Club of Rome was Right 40 years ago.
You’ve sure wasted 40 years on NOT FINDING A SOLUTION.

Just part of a long standing effort to make the CoR sound like some kinda sinister cabal. All they did was try to warn people that industrial civilization is on a collapse path. Im pretty sure they didn’t come to that conclusion because they wanted to, but rather thats because every scenario and set of parameter they entered says collapse will come. Some scenarios, say sooner, some say, later, in different runs-different variables cause the collapse, but end is always the same no matter how they tweaked the world3 runs.
The only people I ever hear harping on all the sinister plots the CoR is supposedly hatching, are the right-wing nutcases and corporate shills. Ive never heard them say they ‘plan’ to do anything about what they found-mostly because, you know, because the CoR has no actual power to do anything,except tell people what there research indicates.

Since they could not kill the messengers, they try to discredit them. And yes, Infowars is like quoting from the old National Inquirer. A joke.
The best way to kill an article or idea is to ignore it. Perhaps these people have never heard of that idea? But,the articles trying to say that there is nothing wrong, so just go back to business as usual, are becoming so numerous that they are causing even the sleepy sheeple to wake up.
Corporations see their end in sight. Techies see their dreams of a utopia fading into the sludge left over from tar sands. Billionaires see their world collapsing under the weight of debt they themselves caused.
The Club of Rome may have been off by the date but not the end scenario.

The Club of Rome was decades ahead of their time. Its unfortunate that Chinese communists and other left wing nuts twisted the results of the Club of Rome to justify their genocidal policies.

I have a mixed attitude towards Alex Jones and his Infowars. They are valuable in their opposition against the US ‘security’ apparatus and totalitarian tendencies of Washington, against their eternal wars, 9/11 setup, the FED, defense of the constitution, their libertarian attitude.
The downside is, they do not have a clue about resource depletion. And they have the irritating habit of putting a Nazi label on anything they do not like. But most Americans do that. The EU/euro for instance in their eyes is an ‘evil Nazi plot’, that sort of nonsense. And hand in hand with that, they are silent (blind?) about the all powerfull Israel lobby. Guess that would make them Nazis if they did. Instead he rambles on about the Bilderbergers.

I suspect that Alex is just another puppet. A rich one, but then, if you play the game, you are on the ‘in crowd’ and get rich. I used to listen to him and his shows, but they began to smell.
He pounds the pulpit too hard and loud and too often to be listen to. But, he is making money, most of which is off shore if he has two brain cells to rub together.

Yeah, Bill, I went pretty much the same route with Alex … One or two subjects where real ‘conspiracies’ may have been (or still are) at work, mixed in with stuff from way out in left field. The dude must have cut some pretty fancy deals with somebody …

Nazi = Fascist. Fascism = the merger of State and Corporate powers. Oh, no, none of that going on, is there?
So far, no one has addressed the substance of the article. I assume that is because no one understood the meaning of the article. I think it could be better written to bring out its point, but look a little deeper.
Anyone who claims that infowars is motivated by a “right wing nut” mentality is simply aping what has been said by someone else. Jones and the various writers he includes on his site are non-partisan. Among those to whom I refer are Gerald Celente, Jon
Rappaport, Michael Snyder and Mac Slavo.
I agree with Arthur that Jones is overly optimistic when it comes to energy issues, but I share his concern with the emergence of an Orwellian police state. Anyone want to get on here and argue that that isn’t happening either?
The concern motivating the article is the seizing on apocalyptic scenarios in order to justify a top down seizure of all human activity. The example given in the article is the one child policy of China. As we see in that policy, the only way to enforce modifications in basic human behavior is by force. An entity which has the power to force basic human behavior will usually have the power to commit injustices on a wide spectrum of matters. We also see that although China has gotten on board the train of population control, at the same time it commits environmental atrocities unequaled on the globe.
Although “the real enemy” may be “humanity itself” according to some (quoting from the finale of the article), it is a reasonable inference that this may be used to justify destroying the enemy. Of course the Club of Rome does not see its own membership as “human” in this same sense.
The question posed is, are we better off destroying ourselves by fulfilling our imperfect nature, or should we advocate benign depopulation (for our own good) at the hands of a tyranny of scientists who, in the end, are possessed by that same imperfect nature?

Is this a joke? Infowars must be the chiefs of misinformation and misinterpretation. Do they wear tinfoil hats?

Alex jones is married to a zionist jew, the only person against the american system that you can trust is david duke.
Arthur on Fri, 21st Jun 2013 6:34 pm
There are many Americans with courage and heart on the right place (in my eyes): Ron Paul, Paul Craig Roberts, Pat Buchanan, Lew Rockwell, Justin Raimondo, Richard Gage, Jesse Ventura and yes, Alex Jones. And many, many more, including jews.
