Yes Arjay, Strong built his wealth and station in life on the back of oil. After he had made billions from the pollution of our earth at any cost he got all environmental. Stupid Al Gore sprouted Strong’s new green global philosophy. I am amazed how the global polluters became the leaders of the green movement.
Strong is a real humanitarian, he was a central player in the “food for oil” sham. He stepped down from that position after it was found he wrote himself a million dollar check for reasons still unexplained. He never gave the money back. Now the greedy bastard is spending his time in China, the dog has found a new master, he follows the money. Posted by sonofgloin, Thursday, 9 August 2012 8:40:12 AM

There's nothing wrong with a basic them'n'us whinge, of course.
It's highly therapeutic, and does a lot to make up for the fact that life tends to favour others, showering "them" with marble spas and personal jets, while leaving poor "us" to munch on corn chips while watching the Olympics on our HDTVs. But it needs to be kept close to reality. Conspiracy theories are cancerous - once they take hold on you, they slowly eat you up. Stuff like this can lead you in that direction: >>So why is it impossible to extrapolate that it is in this group’s primary interest to depopulate the earth<< (sonofgloin) >>This is why Maurice Strong and the other parasites want a 90% reduction in the World's population.<< (Arjay. Inevitably) This demonstrates such a stunning lack of understanding of basic economics, it would shame your average ten-year-old. What would the "elite" be able to spend their money on, if they cull nine out of ten citizens of the world? Money would cease to have any value at all in such an environment, since the entire world economy would no longer exist. No airlines - no aeroplanes at all, in fact, so the corporate jet and "turning left" disappear. No yachts to sail to Hobart every year, as the stock exchanges would collapse. No agriculture even, so no food chain leading to Fortnums, let alone Coles. Someone draw these deluded conspiracy folk a picture, quickly. In crayon, would be best.

Well put, Pericles.
If 'they' succeeded with a 90percent cull, we'd all be back to subsistence farming or some such situation - and there would still be an elite 1 percent living in exalted circumstances. Posted by Poirot, Thursday, 9 August 2012 10:31:11 AM

The thing is, there has always been a 1% with us.
Throughout history we've called them, the 'Nobility", the 'Court', the 'Temple', the 'High Priests' or, in more recent times, the 'Central Committee' and 'Wall St". Their existence is an inevitable part of human nature. If the conditions that make the 1% an inevitability weren't there, then we would be something like ants. And there is, as with most things in nature, a set of forces that act to counterbalance, to keep the pendulum oscillating not too far from some meanpoint, if you will. At some moments in history, violence has indeed been used to restore the balance, e.g. the French Revolution. At other times, negotiation with a dose of coercion has helped, e.g. the Magna Carta in 1215. I'm not suggesting a revolution this time, but I am saying that the circumstances of each society at a given time define the means by which the natural 'balance' is restored. I think we are approaching such a time. It will be fascinating to observe the means by which our society reinstates the natural balance. I have no idea, but this I do know. Natural forces always act to restore balance, no matter how uneasy that balance might be. Anthony http://www.observationpoint.com.au Posted by Anthonyve, Thursday, 9 August 2012 10:54:21 AM

This is why Maurice Strong and the other parasites want a 90% reduction in the World's population.With new awareness and the rise of China,we are now a threat to their "New World Order."
