Choosing the direction
(About the purposes of our civilization)
Dear Sirs!
You are certainly among the people involved in formulating the pattern of the world order of our planet: in the economy, politics, scientific and military spheres.
I want to raise the topic of the future path of Humanity. Perhaps, here you will find fresh thoughts which will help you to change your point of view at this problem and to look at it from a different angle.
The dictate of goals defines the future of our entire planet and the modern civilization. These are our chosen goals that determine the means of their achievement and the direction of the movement.
Modern humanity is hurt by many ailments: the cult of material consumption relying on the economy of capitalism; the individualism causing loneliness; the General fall of a scientific and spiritual thought and morality.
Modern social capitalism serves the belly of the inhabitant, whose needs are limitless, but stupid, as they destroy the basis of his life – the surrounding nature.
The destruction of the nature and the favorable environment becomes a payment for a set of unnecessary things that we buy, but donʹt use or which we buy, but quite without harm for ourselves could refuse them.
The Club of Rome in 1972 with its report «The Limits to Growth» marked the limits of development of the capitalist society. The conclusion of the report was that if the world maintained the pace of industrial development that it had achieved in 1950–1960, by the beginning of the twenty-first century it would be on the verge of exhaustion of non-renewable natural resources and, most importantly, on the verge of an environmental catastrophe. In the 1970-ies the Roman Club raised the question of overpopulation of the planet.
Later, the theme that each piece of land could feed only a certain limited number of people, considered in the book «Collapse» written by the biologist Jared Diamond. In many aspects he agreed with the conclusions of the Club of Rome.
We have to face the truth. The ideologists of the Club of Rome did not limit themselves to stating the facts. They developed and de facto since the beginning of the 1970s put into practice the concept of a new world order – the order that, according to the clubʹs calculations, should allow to change the situation, to solve the problems of fading capitalism.
The secret is becoming clear. Changes on the global scale, implemented with the participation of the UN, UNESCO, IMF and other international organizations, as well as charities and major corporations controlled by members of the Club, can not be hidden. This is due to the scale of their activities.
And here, the mistakes made by the Club and some hypocrisy in the desire to preserve the
What has the club of Rome been doing since the 1970s and what is it doing wrong?
As far as the results of my research allow me to conclude, in the late 1960 – early 1970-ies the Club decided to gradually deindustrialize the world at the same time with the introduction of the concept of organic growth, the essence of which is the allocation of areas of specialization in the world. The Japanese and South Korean experiments made it possible to make a final decision on the de-industrialization of the West with the transfer of the main industries to the East due to the huge number and labor traditions of the population living there.
No later than in 1972, one of the envoys of the Club of Rome David Rockefeller came to an agreement with some members of the government of the USSR, in particular Kosygin, on the involvement of the USSR in the orbit of this project. I suspect that at the very beginning of the negotiations, even before Kosygin, this issue from the Soviet side was led by A. Mikoyan, the matchmaker of A. Kuznetsov, executed by Stalinʹs verdict in the «Leningrad case» (1950). At the same time in 1972, the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) was registered in Austria, founded by both American and Soviet parties, and in 1976 they established its Moscow branch – the VNIISI. From its very beginning it was constantly headed by the Soviet academician D. M. Gvishiani, a son-in-law of A. N. Kosygin and a member of the club of Rome for 17 years.
