Petro-Canada was a band-aid (and an opportunity to launch a liberal get rich quick scheme) to pacify Canada's anti-American Left, who were then protesting over American ownership of the country's oil companies.
Strong talked a good economic-nationalist game to pacify the Canadian left -- but unknown to the Canadian left, and public in general, Pertro Canada was also American owned, and Strong himself was the major reason why the public's oil company was U.S.-owned.
Ten years before, while in charge of Power Corporation, he had made it possible for Shell to take over the only remaining all-Canadian oil company- Petro Canada- by throwing a controlling block of shares in its direction.
After a couple of years, Strong left Petro-Canada for various business deals, including one with Adnan Khashoggi through which he ended up owning the 200,000-acre Baca religious ranch in Colorado, now a "New Age" center run by his wife, Hanne.
Ironically, this ranch also sits on one of the largest fresh water aquifers in the entire USA. Does anyone now wonder why no drilling is allowed anywhere near it?
.
In 1985, Strong was back as executive coordinator of the UN Office for Emergency Operations in Africa, in charge of running the $3.5-billion famine-relief effort in Somalia and Ethiopia. And in 1989, he was appointed Secretary General of the Earth Summit. Not bad for a guy who hadnever run for office, was never elected to one, and had never went to high school. Is anyone wondering why foriegn aid money never seems to do much? That's because it never gets to where we send it.
When a disasater happens, the UN's media pals go and stage a huge disaster, often filming a destroyed building from every possible angle, and have a Un puppet government plead for help, another giving generously, and is if by magic, Annan and Co. are rolling in $$$. Maurice makes it dissapear among his friends, like Soros.
Soros is also a usefull tool to the likes of the UN's "elite". It takes big money to collapse small countries economies, and soro big money to launder the aid money.
It is interesting to read Strong's 1972 Stockholm speech and compare it with the issues of Earth Summit 1992.
Strong warned urgently about global warming, the devastation of forests, the loss of biodiversity, polluted oceans, and the population time bomb.
Then as now, he invited to the conference the brand-new environmental NGOs. He gave them money to come; and they were invited to raise hell at home. After Stockholm, environment issues became part of the administrative framework in Canada, the U.S., Britain, and Europe.
IN the meantime, Strong continued building his international networking list- on which his influence rests.
He became a member of the World Commission on Environment and Development (the Brundtland Commission).
He found time to serve as president of the World Federation of United Nations Associations, on the executive committee of the Society for International Development, and as an advisor to the Rockefeller FoundationWorld Wildlife Fund. Above all, he served on the Commission on Global Governance -- which plays a crucial part in the international power grab.
Some of Strongs pals include:
- Al Gore. (Of course.) - former World Bank President James Wolfensohn, (formerly on the Rockefeller Foundation Board and on the Population Council Board; (Strong he was Al Gore's favored candidate for the World Bank position).
- James Gustave Speth, head of the Carter Administration's Council on Environmental Quality, crafter of the doomladen Global 2000 report, member of the Clinton - Gore transition team; he also lead the UN Development Program.
- Shridath Ramphal, formerly Secretary General of the (British) Commonwealth, Co-Chairman of the ,b>Commission on Global Governance.
- Jonathan Lash, President of the World Resources Institute -- which works closely with the World Bank, the UN Environment Program, and the UN Development Program -- and Co-Chairman of the President's Council on Sustainable Development.
- Ingvar Carlsson, former Swedish prime minister and Co-Chairman of the Commission on Global Governance.
The Cult of Soros then, is really the cult of Liberal elites, who selecte and not elected, through the UN and the many NGO's, want to rule the world and make people live as they see fit.
Fight this evil organization, and these horrible little Soros trolls than make it thrive.

You are absolutely right about Maurice Strong. I would venture that not too many Americans know who this man IS. They need to find out.
(lol) When I read the "Left Behind" series- Maurice Strong was the man I pictured as Nicolae Carpathia.
