 Machines of Doom and the End of Humanity The focus of Mankind at the Turning Point is a computer model that supposedly replicates the major features of the world problematique. According to The Club of Rome, the world problematique is the set of interlocking world problems, such as, over population, food shortages, non-renewable resource depletion, environmental degradation, etc. Not surprisingly, their self serving model, based on exponential inputs, predicts the complete unravelling of society and perhaps the biosphere. Naturally, failure to implement The Club of Rome's solution of a totalitarian world government will result in the potential end of humanity. From Mankind at the Turning Point: <blockquote> "Therefore we have concentrated out efforts in this report on a number of vital worldwide issues whose mastery we consider essential for man's survival and for an eventual transition into sustainable material and spiritual development of humanity." [emphasis mine] - XII "Whether or not to embark on the path of organic growth is a question of mankind's very survival..." [emphasis mine] - 70 </blockquote> The Transition - Creating A New Mankind The transition to this totalitarian world government will be made by changing the value systems of the entire planet, creating a one world consciousness. <blockquote> "Today it seems that the basic values, which are ingrained in human societies of all ideologies and religious persuasions, are ultimately responsible for many of our troubles. But if future crises are to be avoided, how then should these values be readjusted?" [emphasis mine] - 11 "An analysis of problems and crises as reported in subsequent chapters indicate that (1) a "horizontal" restructuring of the world system is needed, i.e., a change in relationships among nations and regions and (2) as far as the "vertical" structure of the world system is concerned, drastic changes in the norm stratum - that is, in the value system and the goals of man - are necessary in order to solve energy, food, and other crises, i.e., social changes and changes in individual attitudes are needed if the transition to organic growth is to take place." [emphasis mine] - 54 "The changes in social and individual attitudes which we are recommending require a new kind of education..." - 148 "Development of a practical international framework in which the cooperation essential for the emergence of a new mankind on an organic growth path will become a matter of necessity rather than being left to good will and preference..." [emphasis mine] - 145 "The transition from the present undifferentiated and unbalanced world growth to organic growth will lead to the creation of a new mankind [emphasis mine]. Such a transition would represent a dawn, not a doom, a beginning not the end. Will mankind have the wisdom and will power to evolve a sound strategy to achieve that transition? In view of historical precedents, one might, legitimately, have serious doubts - unless the transition evolves out of necessity. And this is where the current and future crises - in energy, food, materials, and the rest - can become error-detectors, catalysts for change, and as such blessings in disguise. The solutions of these crises will determine on which of the two paths mankind has chosen to travel." [emphasis in original] - 9 </blockquote> The Transition - One World Consciousness <blockquote> "Regarding individual values and attitudes the following lessons seem to be outstanding for the new global ethic implicit in the preceding requirements: 1) A world consciousness must be developed through which every individual realizes his role as a member of the world community... It must become part of the consciousness of every individual that "the basic unit of human cooperation and hence survival is moving from the national to the global level." 2) A new ethic in the use of material resources must be developed which will result in a style of life compatible with the oncoming age of scarcity... One should be proud of saving and conserving rather than of spending and discarding. 3) An attitude toward nature must be developed based on harmony rather than conquest. Only in this way can man apply in practice what is already accepted in theory - that is, that man is an integral part of nature. 4) If the human species is to survive, man must develop a sense of identification with future generations and be ready to trade benefits to the next generations for the benefits to himself. If each generation aims at maximum good for itself, Homo Sapiens is as good as doomed." [emphasis mine] - 147 "In order to achieve balance between regions in global development a more coherent regional outlook must be developed in various parts of the world so that the "preferable solutions" will be arrived at out of necessity rather than out of good will... we are talking about a regional sense of common destiny that will find its expression through appropriate societal, economic concepts and objectives... Such a regional outlook will create a "critical mass" necessary for the practical implementation of new and innovative ways of functioning in cultural, economic, and agricultural areas, especially on the rural level." [emphasis mine] - 154 </blockquote> The Transition - Global Warming and the New Mankind This methodology of doom prediction based on complex, "expert" generated, unverifiable computer models was later taken in full stride by the global warming propagandists. Both had the exact same intent, scare people into believing that the world was on the verge of complete collapse and that the only solution is world government. In reality, the global warming myth is an extension of The Club of Rome's activities From Mankind at the Turning Point: <blockquote> "Governments and international organizations are currently too preoccupied with military alliances and bloc politics. But this problem is becoming of secondary importance... Therefore, barring suicide, mankind will face the most awesome test in its history: the necessity of a change in the man-nature relationship and the emergence of a new perception of mankind as a living global system." [emphasis mine] - 146 "Precisely because the symptoms of these global crises might become fully visible only toward the end of the century, the time to act is now; when the symptoms become clear the remedy will no longer be possible, as has been shown repeatedly in this report. Future history will not focus on personality and social classes, as has been characteristic of history in the past, but on the use of resources and survival of the human species. The time to affect that history is now." [emphasis mine] - 146 </blockquote> The quote above cannot be emphasized enough. The fear that has been used to unify our national societies is being moved from the Hitler/Saddam Hussein type personalities and the Communist/Capitalist class struggles to global unity based on resource depletion and the survival of the human species. Furthermore, in 1991, in a book entitled The First Global Revolution: A Report by the Council of The Club of Rome [2] and coauthored by one of the founders of The Club of Rome, Alexander King, they admitted choosing global warming and other threats to unify humanity under a world government. <blockquote> "In searching for a new enemy to unite us [all of humanity], we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. In their totality and in their interactions, these phenomena constitute a common threat which as the enemy, we fall into the trap about which we have already warned, namely mistaking symptoms for causes. All these dangers are caused by human intervention and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome. The real enemy then is humanity itself."

You've managed to convince me! How do I join the Club of Rome?

Seriously, you want me to be scared? The only thing that frightens me is the fact that this was published here.

The main question you pose is, "Now that we know were we are headed, the next question is what will the transition look like?"

You've done nothing to illuminate this frightening transition.

You base your scaremongering on fear of totalitarianism, as discussed in the first part of your series. It's there that we find your warning:

"Though rarely stated and frequently denied, the concept of interdependent nations implies the end of national independence or sovereignty."

and, as evidence, the following statement, attributed to the 1974 'Mankind at the Turning Point':

"And cooperation, finally, requires that the people of all nations face up to an admission that may not come easy. Cooperation by definition connotes interdependence. Increasing interdependence between nations and regions must then translate as a decrease in independence. Nations cannot be interdependent without each of them giving up some of, or at least acknowledging limits to, its own independence."

"...the statement acknowledged, even if unintentionally, the dawn of an era of limits to independence - even for the strongest and biggest nations of the world."

I find nothing in that statement that implies the end of national independence or sovereignty. Nothing.

What is there to be afraid of? Where is the totalitarian threat?

So you admit that there is NO plan for a "one World government"? You can't see the obvious? I suggest you turn off the TV and cancel your newspaper subscriptions then.

The end of sovereignty is everywhere. What do you think the SPP and EU are about? What's going to happen to Kosovo now that they've announced succession? Why is the UN telling our schools what to teach? Why is Canada fighting someone elses fraudulent war? Why does Canada have a National bank but is not allowed to use it?

We'll from your recent post, "UN transformation proposed to create 'new world order'" I can only assume that your reply to Brent's article was crude satire.

Ignore my above reply then.

Or rather, a critique of the article rather than a disagreement of the thesis.

Sorry, need another coffee this morning.

I am glad to see a bit of activity and enthusiasm around this issue. Yee ha!

My comment was offered as a criticism of the article, period. I made no statements about my belief in the existence of any plan for WGO/NWO so I don't see how you can draw any conclusion about what I believe. Nevertheless, I see the obvious every day, as you clearly do, and firmly believe that OWG is just around the corner. Unfortunately, there are millions of people in this country who not only have no awareness of a NWO but they actively reject any such notion. The article does nothing to convince the general reader of the validity of the author's claims and, what is worse, it manages to make the Club of Rome seem quite reasonable!

People are quite blind to the obvious when it is in conflict with their beliefs.

suck1tup asks some important questions in a concise manner. Questions should be asked about the Club of Rome and answered in a similarly concise manner that supports the thesis that they're... whatever.

It worries me that this excellent site managed to let this article pass the review process. It tars the rest of the well-reasoned content with the WTF brush.

Hey, thanks for your understanding. Next time I'll try not to be so quick on the trigger finger.

I haven't read much Club of Rome publications, yet. Still need to chew through the "First Global Revolution". It's on my list.

If I did have one question for them right now however, it'd be along the lines of why they believe there's a constant need to have an "enemy to unite us". Surely there must be other ways to unite the World toward a common cause then to scare the living daylights out of us.

Not the most intellectual of questions, but still valid none-the-less.

Good question, one that a psychologist would have a better chance answering - but I will take a swing at providing some evidence that it's necessary and possibly/probably ineffective unless we have a gun to our heads. 
 
I like to think of the world as a supertanker, weighing in at about 6.5 billion tons. Turning anything with that kind of momentum will naturally take a tremendous effort and a very long time. All oars will need start pulling in the new direction (and not everyone has an oar). What's going to make us do that? ICEBERG - DEAD AHEAD!!! 
 
However, what I have seen in the past 30 years of adulthood leads me to believe that human behaviour is very hard to change. 
 
Warnings about pollution haven't done much to change our behavior. Suzuki documentaries and news reports have been playing on a nightly basis across Canada since the 60's. We talk a lot about it but the air, earth and waters are in worse shape than ever. Fear of HIV/AIDS still aren't enough to change personal behavior for a lot of people. We've all heard DIRE predictions about climate change but how many Canadians have actually done even one of the simple things that have immedite personal benefits like changing over to compact fluorescents, buying local produce or eating less meat. 
 
I think the problem lies in cognitive dissonance. It prevents us from seeing our mistakes and, therefore, learning from them. 
 
There's (what by all accounts is) an excellent new book on the subject: 
 
Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me) 
Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, and Hurtful Acts 
Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson
