ECO Socialist Multistakeholder Public Private Global Partnership with the UN-WEF ‘Corporate Capture of the World’ and the Global Godfather of Climate Hysteria

Maurice Strong the Godfather of Climate Hysteria. The self proclaimed Socialist Climate Change Inventor, that defined a trace gas as a very wealthy meal ticket of tens of thousands of climate functionalities

Maurice Strong established two of the largest UN Environmental Agencies.  Maurice Strong Personal Advisor to  UN Secretary Generals. Maurice Strong quoted at the UN “We may get to the point where the only way of saving the world will be for industrialized civilization to collapse. Isn’t it our responsibility to bring this about”? Quote Maurice Strong UN. The Science is settled “No its not:. Maurice Strong Self confessed socialist had a massive influence on world affairs, international environmental rules, international agencies and businesses, an influential member of the WEF

Maurice Strong joined the UN at 18years old lived with a leader of the UN Treasury. Eventually put the UN into the collaboration with environmental businesses. The shadowy influence of the UN Leaders from 1962 till 2005, often clled ‘the international man of mystery’  and a ‘new guy in your future’ and a very dangerous one at that. Strong made his fortune in oil and energy eg Petro Canada, Power Corporation, CalTex Africa, Hydro Canada, the Colorado Land and Cattle Company, Ajax Petroleum, Canadian Industrial Oil and Gas— to name just a few. He had an extensive range of contacts within the power brokers of the world, he was called the ‘Michelangelo of Networking’ but he was not angel.

1972 organized the 1st Earth Summit in Stockholm The Conference on the Human Environment. This led to the formation of the UN Environment Program Maurice Strong was the head of this. Later he organized the UNEP, he was the boss of the first international expert group on climate change. This led to UN sponsored organizations eg The Earth Council and Earth Charter, World Resources Institute, World Wild Life Fund, The Commission for World Governance and the University for Peace.

Strong was the driving force behind the world governance, governing of UN Nation States . He dreamt up a world tax on monetary transactions of 0.05% which would have given the UN an annual income of $1.5 trillion annually. About equal to the income of the US. However the stumbling block was the UN Security Council that has veto rights. (The power of Veto). So he devised a plan to get rid of the UN Security Council but did not succeed in implementing his plan. And then he came up with this light bulb moment called ‘Global Warming’, this might just be the device to get his World Governance up and running.

1989 Strong was appointed to Secretary General of the Earth Summit, 1992 he addressed the second Earth Summit at Rio. Telling 1,000’s of climate change delegates

“It is clear that current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class— involving high meat intake, consumption of large amounts frozen and convenience foods, use of fossil fuels, appliances, home and work place air-conditioning, and suburban housing — are not sustainable”.

Hence there goes the house (private Property) there goes your Meat  (plant based burgers) Bill Gates ‘Beyond Burgers’, the transformation of the world called ‘The World we Want’ being the world the Corporation- UN-WEF Collaborators want.  (Global Power and wealth)

However Strong did not say at this time he had actually purchased a very large piece of land in Colorado. The Colorado Land and Cattle Company, he bought this off an arms dealer named Adnan Khashoggi who had strong connections with the Bin Laden family

200,000 acres of cattle property called ‘Baca’ It sat on a vast underground water system. Strong formed the American Water Development Corporation to exploit the water by pumping it out for commercial intent but was stopped by locals. Maurice Strong was told by a mystic that : The Baca Ranch would become the new planetary order which would evolve from the economic collapse and environmental catastrophes that would sweep the world in years to come”

With this, he created the Manitou Foundation, a New Age Institute which was located at his Baca Rach, above what he called the saced waters that lay below. He established the ‘Conservation Fund’ with the help of Laurence Rockefeller, to study the mystical properies of the Manitou Mountaun. A circular temple was built at the ranch devoted to the world mystical movements

The valley where the Baca Ranch is located is traditional home of the Navajo tribes. They believe that their ancestors were led underground in this valley by ‘Ant People’. According to the Navajo tradition they warned of the coming ‘Sky Katchinas’ (Sky spirits’. Strong was drawn towards these Navajo mystical beliefs. Maurice Strong founded the Earth Council Institute in 1992, recruiting world luminaries eg., Mikhail Gorbachev, Shimon Peres, Al Gore and David Rockefeller. In year 2000 Earth Charter Strong again pushed for a World Governance body.

2005 Maurice Strong, an extremely powerful man made a push which he announced would save humanity, the promoting of the theory of human induced greenhouse gases, but he was caught with his hand in the till. He endorsed a chque for himself made out to M Strong issued by the Jordanian Bank. The South Korean businessman Tongsun Park was given the cheque, he was convicted in 2006 by a New York Federal Court of conspiring to bribe  UN Officials

Maurice Strong resigned and then fled to Canada, then onto China where he continued to live. Taking sanctuary in China where his cousin Louise Strong, a Marxist who lived with Mao Tse Tung for 2 years before she died in 1970.

In 1947 Maurice Strong  worked at the UN at the age of 18 a Canadian from Manitoba, he was a junior officer at the UN Security Section, he lived with the UN Treasurer Noah Monod. Maurice Strong was involved in bribery and corruption, a very well known one was the Un Oil for Food Scandal. Strong was stripped of many of his 53 International Awards and honours he had collected over a lifetime for this. Strong was known for his dual role of an eco global socialist pushing for a world governance and he was also reported to be a ruthless businessman

Maurice Strong was a longtime Foundation Director of the World Economic Forum, a senior advisor to the World Bank. A Canadian Oil- Mineral Businessman, Under Secretary of the UN, President of the Power Corporation of Canada, Secretary of the Un Human Environment Programme, CEO of Petro Canada, Headed Ontario Hydro. Head of the Water Development Incorporated, Commissioner of the World Commission on environmental Developments, Leader of International environmental Movements worldwide.

An active member of Perking University, Chairman of the Advisory Board for the Institute for Research on Security and Sustainability for North East Asia. Died at 86 in 2015. Self confessed radical Socialist. There are references made to Maurice Strong and Canada’s Principal Investment Corporations that have interests in Energy and Utility Businesses. The Power Corporation of Canada. In 1976 at Pierre Trudeau request Maurice Strong returned to Canada to head the newly created national oil company Petro-Canada.

Strong was a shareholder in Oil companies, he had acquired Denver Oil was the largest shareholder. AZL merged with Tosco Corporation which Strong acquired which was 160,000 acres – the Baca Ranch in Colorado which was Strongs Manitou Foundation. Strong later became the chairman of the Canada Development Investment Corporation, the holding company for some of Canada’s principal government owned corporations. 1982 he became chair of Ontario Hydro.

Dec 3st 1986 Strong founded the American Water Development Incorporated, with a rights to pump water from a guge area and sell it to water districts in the Front Range Urban Corridor of Colorado. (There was much conflict about this and activism) So Strong existed the company. Strong was the director of Molten Metal Technology, an environmental tech company founded in 1989, recycling hazardous waste gained research grants from US Dept of Energy. The company later filed for bankruptcy.’ Stockholm Conference

In 1971, Strong commissioned a report on the state of the planet, Only One Earth: The Care and Maintenance of a Small Planet,[25] co-authored by Barbara Ward and Rene Dubos. The report summarized the findings of 152 leading experts from 58 countries in preparation for the first UN meeting on the environment, held in Stockholm in 1972. This was the world’s first “state of the environment” report.

The Stockholm Conference established the environment as part of an international development agenda. It led to the establishment by the UN General Assembly in December 1972 of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), with headquarters in NairobiKenya, and the election of Strong to head it. UNEP was the first UN agency to be headquartered in the third world.[26] As head of UNEP, Strong convened the first international expert group meeting on climate change.[27]

Strong was one of the commissioners of the World Commission on Environment and Development, set up as an independent body by the United Nations in 1983.

ICE FREE DOES NOT MEAN FREE OF ICE ‘ANTACTICA ROSS SHELF’

Antarctica is almost entirely covered by ice sheets up to two miles (3 km) thick, which contain roughly 70% of the world’s freshwater. The great ice sheets spill out to sea as floating ice-shelves and ice-tongues, which routinely calve massive icebergs into the waters around Antarctica. The Ross Sea ice shelf is one the largest ice shelves in the world. It is the size of France, and though the 200-foot-tall cliffs of ice extend 500 miles, that is just, as they say, the tip of the iceberg. Most of the ice lies hidden below the cold, dark salt water.

The Ross Ice Shelf is freezing not melting scientists say they are surprised to find this. (Feb 23rd 2018). The report states that “In November, scientists from New Zealand used a hot water drill to go deep into Antarctica’s Ross Ice Shelf. The shelf, which can be up to 10,000 feet thick, is the largest of several that hold back West Antarctica’s massive amounts of ice. If these were to collapse, global sea level would rise by ten feet. Drilling a hole and lowering a camera and thermometer inside is a way for researchers to understand the history of the shelf, and what is happening to it now. In measuring the temperature and currents below the shelf, they expected to find that the ice was melting.

Instead, the water appeared to be crystalizing and freezing. In the video from National Geographic below, you can see the white dots of ice crystals as the camera is lowered towards the dark sea below. If the shelf was melting, the hole at that level would have smooth sides. “It blew our minds,” Christina Hulbe, the glaciologist from the University of Otago in New Zealand, who co-led the project, told National Geographic.

Scientists have left instruments deep in the hole to measure currents and temperatures below the shelf for the next few years. Though the freezing seems to be a promising sign for the shelf’s stability, it doesn’t tell the whole picture. Scientists also hope to learn whether the ice shelf has melted in the past due to other climate shifts.

However, the NZ Scientists state that NASA confirmed we are losing ice much faster , and of course more research has to be done on the Ross Ice Shelf  (Of course-for the sake of climate alarmism-bullshite)

One of the leading authorities on the physics of the northern seas predicted an ‘ice-free’ Artic Ocean by the year 2020 (Source UN). Alaska News 3/11/2014 updated 29/9/2016. UN releases Climate Report ‘Ice Free’ does not really mean ‘Free of Ice’

Closer to home, David Seymour- ACT Party authored a book in 2017 stating that however much NZ cuts back on emissions they will make no difference to climate change but they will be good global citizens.

‘ANOTHER TRUTH BOMB’ NEW ZEALAND’S MOST DESTRUCTIVE POLICY OF ALL GENERATIONS

David Seymour ACT Party leader tippy toeing around the most important information within the content of his book

David Seymour authored a book in 2017 it was published by the ACT Party as he highlights on page 30 of his book ‘the most destructive policies of the generations’.  He describes this as  “we have managed to create an absurd situation in New Zealand. Sadly I say it is clearly evident that what we see now as absurd destructive policies of the generations is the Global Decade of Action implemented by the UN and UN Nation States accompanied by the World Economic Forum implemented locally in New Zealand. Auckland Council vision to be the largest smart livable city worldwide. Mass migration (Climate migration) through Auckland Council collaboration with the Global Mayors Migration taskforce (C40)

Seymour further states that “we have managed to create an absurd situation where NZ  has a 0.8% developed  area, now has a shortage of urban land. The most obvious example of this is Auckland Metropolitan area which is said to increase to another one million in the next 30 years. Auckland region is 1.2 million acres and even if each house has a 2.5 people living in it and each house was on a ¼ acre section then on 10% of the land development would be used up. He stated that “the land shortage is artificial, its like an invisible line on a map”

The Urban/City UN Human Habitat 3 Settlements globally are the every increasing critical weapon to advance the so called Smart Growth Environment. The Urban Containment. Build Up with intensity and diversity all inclusive, an inclusive mass surveillance system to monitor all citizens.

SDG 11 Global Agenda 2030 Make Cities Inclusive,  transformative high impact cities (Human Settlements). Less open spaces, worsening segregation all dependent on Social, Environmental Governance. Controlling peoples lives. Global Agenda 2030 Indigenous Peoples (Maori). A strong engagement with Indigenous Peoples (UN RES/70/1) mentions Indigenous Peoples six times. The Decade of Indigenous People (UN) with funding opportunities, Un country decision making, partnerships with local governments (Councils)

The Indigenous Peoples Approach is DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) Enriching Hapu/Iwi through using CRT Critical Race Theory. An ideology of totalitarianism, tyranny. Oppressed vs Oppressed and victimhood.  Attack, dismantle westernization, whiteness, Christianity, family, traditions (Tribal Feudalism) Cultural Political Marxism. . Its clear to see the resemblance of this ideological tyranny of human rights in the era of Chair Mao Ze Dong, in Communism and Nazism.

Mana Whenua participation at all levels of Local Government (Auckland Council) and other Councils in NZ.

Auckland Council Cultural Marxist, Critical Race Theory, Identity Politics DEI (Diversity Equity Inclusion) Initiatives. Political Marxist ideology. Smart Growth includes Diversity nationwide. Smart Cities, initially hailed as the epitome of technological advancement, may hold a darker truth. Are we unwittingly surrendering our rights, becoming prisoners in a digital realm controlled by councils and the World Economic Forum (WEF)? The stark reality is that ALL COUNCILS are deeply entrenched in the Smart City program (A reference made to a Counterspin Episode)

Auckland City a C40 City collaboration with the Global Mayors Migration Council. As we see mass migration causing havoc in Europe, Ireland, England and now Australia is talking about this in the Senate. New Zealand huge increase in approvals for residential, visitor, work, residence visa’s. Migration officers leave their employment because they were ordered to ignore criminal convictions, do not further investigate, turn a blind eye and ignore, accept as many of these migrant visa’s as quickly as possible. When Migration officers complained, nothing happened, so they left their jobs and then reported this to RNZ, so the public would know what is happening. (3/9/2023 RNZ Behind the scenes get as many approvals through as quickly as possible) 1Stats NZ provisional estimate 34,000 migrants, some estimates are larger, however Stats NZ is only provisional stat estimates. RNZ reports that Auckland population growth may  increase to 2 million by 2030 (31/3/2021). However we are now at the largest annual increase since the 1960’s.

This is yet another Truth Bomb that Local- Central Government will not make into a public debate.

Aucklanders will pay big time for a very long time. Local – Central Government of course will not publicly debate this to the citizens of NZ, as we are living in what you call a ‘Cancel Culture’. New Zealanders discussing this in public will be cancelled out…after all this is another one of those ‘Truth Bombs’

All above are embedded in the most destructive policy of the NZ generation, but of course David Seymour has only dipped his tippy toe in the water and quickly withdraw it hoping it won’t be noticed.

AUCKLAND’ CLIMATE PLAN (179 Pages) December 2020

To take action, we need to act now. How do we plan to take action. This is a human centered approach, by dramatically changing how we move around the region and how we work. Our economy is based less on consumption. We must make radical urgent changes to what we do as individuals, communities and businesses. We must embed mataurangi Maori and Te Ao Maori principles to ensure no-one is left behind.. We will make major shift

The narrative speaks to the struggles of Tāwhirimātea, the primal ancestor associated with weather. Tied to the Māori creation narratives of the universe and the world, Tāwhiri-mātea is seen to be influencing our climate and accelerating the change in our climate in response to human induced climate change.

the climate, as part of a wider whakapapa / intergenerational symbiotic system of relationships, is always moving and changing. We are responding specifically to the impacts of human induced change as a result of western-centred values, behaviours and systems. • our tupuna Atua / primal ancestors are reciprocating those behaviours, which we refer to Te Tāruke-a-Tāwhiri – the struggles of Tāwhiri

The global response to climate change must be underpinned by the best knowledge available. Indigenous knowledge systems

To guide Auckland’s approach to climate action, mana whenua, through the Mana Whenua Kaitiaki Forum has partnered with the council to provide a Te Ao Māori perspective throughout the development of the plan. Early in the process, this forum set up a climate change working group to work with council representatives and subject matter experts on their response to climate change. Climate Change included in all Global Development Goal UN Agenda 2030. Includes Mass Migration ‘Environmental Migration globally)

Leading the response The Mana Whenua Kaitiaki Forum has taken the lead role in anchoring and guiding a Māori response to climate change within Tāmaki Makaurau and working closely with Māori community organisations. The approach has been underpinned by the following principles: • whakapapa centred approach to understanding and responding to climate change (Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri) • mātauranga Māori forming the foundation to restoring balance with our tupuna Atua • mana whenua-led conversation, focused on a practical expression of our obligations of kaitiakitanga of Tāmaki Makaurau and the manaakitanga of its people and, in particular, our Māori communities..Auckland Council  in Phil Goff signed Auckland City up to the C40 Cities Global Green Deal. This includes support, promoting a Plant based diet. The Auckland Council climate plan reinforces C40 city initiatives. 2018 the Mayors Migration Council introduced the Mayors Migration Declaration through a Global Mayors Mitigation Group.  Planning of future mass migration is to be established by Mayors of C40 cities worldwide. (Climate Refuges namely ‘Environmental Migration)

The C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group is a group of 100 global cities  committed to taking bold climate action.

Auckland has been recognised as an Innovator City within the C40 network since 2015 and has endorsed a range of C40 commitments, including: • the Green and Healthy Streets Declaration (formerly the Fossil Fuel Free Streets Declaration) Auckland Council will endorse and enable to put Iwi/Maori framework into action. :

The Auckland Council references the following :- The development of an indigenous measurement tool to support management, prioritization, and measurement of the state of progress against the indigenous framework.

Actively  partnering with Iwi and recognized organizations to co-design and implement reconnection programmes for rangatahi and their whānau. To endorse support resource food sovereignty in accordance with Indigenous measurement tools

Auckland Council is a delegate of the Crown exercising powers of local government in Auckland and has  statutory obligations to Iwi/Māori to recognise, respect the Crown’s responsibility to take appropriate account of the principles of the Treaty.

 

The Council reports that the Treaty is articulated in law through an evolving set of principles. Treaty principles have been expressed and recognised through a range of courts and the Waitangi Tribunal. They are not exhaustive, and it is recognised that other principles may be developed with time. (NZ’s Founding document ‘Te Tiriti o Waitangi’ did not create Principles nor did it create Partnerships).

The Waitangi Act and the Crown Enterprises Act created these Partnerships and Principles that continue to be entered into our domestic policies and regulation. Not one political crony in the Cesspit of Wellington will stand up and tell the truth about this whole corruption. Instead they keep the corruption going through entering Principles and Partnership time and time again in Bills, Legislations and Regulations.

Whiria Te Muka Tangata is Auckland Council’s Māori Responsiveness Framework. It brings together the council’s commitments and obligations to Māori. This enables Auckland Council to ensure that it considers how its policies and actions recognise and protect Māori rights and interests, and contribute to Māori needs and aspirations.

Auckland Climate Plan has a Independent Iwi/Maori Statutury Board. They are Non-Elected bodies with specific powers given to them by local and central government to promote cultural, economic, environmental and social issues of significance to Maori. (They mean certain Iwi Elite). This the Auckland Council states is a partnership approach as a Te Titiri partner.  An economic force at Iwi/Maori levels. (There is NO Partnership in Te Tiriti o Waitangi) .  FOLLOW THE MONEY….

ACTIONS: • mātauranga Māori plays an equal role in decisionmaking • establish a Māori Sustainability Office / Think Tank for the Mana Whenua Kaitiaki Forum • establish Mana Whenua supported rangatahi group (intergenerational) • establish an online Māori knowledge and information portal • preparing and educating Māori communities, businesses and landowners for change • promote new ways of collective action

Māori have had to bear the negative impacts of colonisation, westernisation and urbanisation for over 160 years within Tāmaki Makaurau. Any response to climate change needs to consider the impacts on Māori and, in particular, mana whenua. Our collective response to climate change needs to enable sustainable circular Māori economic development and growth and encourage innovation across Māori business ecosystems. A key outcome is to focus on lifting whānau Māori from poverty and transform the conditions of wellbeing with whānau. Mātauranga Māori Mātauranga Māori – Māori knowledge systems and practices hold a key to climate change response. Mātauranga Māori is community-based and collective knowledge that offers valuable insights that complement western scientific data with chronological and landscape specific precision and detail. This is critical to verifying climate models and evaluating change scenarios. Māori knowledge systems and practice provide a strong foundation for community-based adaption and mitigation actions. Mana whenua have been able to observe and interpret change through the environment within Tāmaki Makaurau over many generations.

There will be times when our leaders need to decide and act to protect and enhance mauri before everybody is ready

Climate emergency We are seeing millions of people around the world strike, led by youth calling for a safe climate future. People across Aotearoa have called for decisions and action to protect our regions and our planet from the impacts of climate change. In June 2019, Auckland Council responded to this call and the irrefutable evidence of climate change by declaring that our region is facing climate emergency. By declaring a climate emergency, the council commits to: • incorporate climate change considerations into work programmes and decisions • provide local government leadership in the face of climate change, including collaborating with local and central government partners advocate for greater central government leadership and action on climate change • increase the visibility of our climate change work • lead by example in monitoring and reducing its greenhouse gas emissions • include climate change impact statements on all council committee reports. Responding to the climate emergency will require rapid and transformational change in how we live, work and travel. Our eight priorities identify the actions we need to take in our emergency response

WE ARE LIVING IN COLD TIMES ACCORDING TO GREENLAND ICE CORES REVEALING CLIMATE HISTORY.

We live in cold times: “We live in the coldest period of the last 10.000 years” , says Danish glaciologist, Jørgen Peder Steffensen who take us back in time to the Grenland ice cores and reveals the secrets from the past.” Today’s warming is not unprecedented and thus no way to tell if human industry has made any difference. Jørgen Peder Steffensen is a professor in ice core related research at the centre for ice and climate at the Niels Bohr Institute the University of Copenhagen.\RNZ reported
