Few intelligent people understood
the global environmental communist agenda twenty years ago but Natalie Grant
Wraga did. The majority did not pay careful attention and the MSM presented the
environmental agenda of Cultural Marxism in a very positive light that seemed
logical.
Most people understood the
chemical and trash pollution of air, water, and soil. We could see it around
us. Nobody wanted to live in a dirty world, polluted beyond safe and healthy habitation.
Who can possibly object to the protection of endangered species that have been
overhunted for food, selfish predatory trophies, or tribal customs?
But that is not what the
environmental Cultural Marxists referred to – they wanted to decarbonize our
civilized life, turn us back to a more primitive living in order to better
control every facet of our lives, and to reduce the much maligned CO2, the gas
of plant life, to levels progressives determined were safe for human and animal
habitation.
In an article published in
June 16, 2008, “The Marxist Roots of the Global Warming Scare,” Wes Vernon quoted
Natalie Grant Wraga: “Protection of the environment has become the principal
tool for attack against the West and all it stands for. Protection of the
environment may be used as a pretext to adopt a series of measures designed to
undermine the industrial base of developed nations. It may also serve to
introduce malaise by lowering their standard of living and implanting communist
values.”
Wes Vernon mentioned in
his article that Natalie Grant Wraga died in 2002 at the age of 101 and “was an
internationally-recognized expert on the art of disinformation.” In her obituary
in the Washington Post, “Herbert Romerstein, veteran intelligence expert in the
legislative and executive branches of government, described Grant/Wraga as ‘one
of our leading authorities’ on Soviet deceit.”
He further said that
John Berlau of Investors Business Daily
“wrote that some of the most respected scholars on Soviet Intelligence have
credited this woman with teaching them how to penetrate desinformatzia, Moscow’s
term for its ongoing operation to deceive foreign governments.”
Natalie Grant Wraga published
her article, “Green Cross: Gorbachev and
Global Enviro-Communism,” in the spring of 1998 at the age of 97. Very
involved, alert, and out-spoken, Grant became legally blind in her late 80s and
was helped in her writing pursuits by her devoted reader/researcher who prefers
to remain anonymous. She learned a lot in the process of helping Natalie and
considered her an early voice of the movement that would later emerge as The Tea
Party.
The Soviets, who at the
time were promoting their influence via the ‘peace’ movement, had decided to
replace the issue of ‘world peace’ with the task of protecting the world’s
environment. “Although ‘peace’ still remains a prominent item on the list of
deceitful operations of Soviet leaders,” said Natalie Grant in 1998, “protection
of the environment has become the principal tool for attack against the West
and all it stands for.”
At the time, there were
two groups, Natalie said, who represented environmentalism on the world stage –
the Earth Council, an NGO chaired by Maurice Strong, then a U.N. top-tier
bureaucrat, and the Green Cross International (GCI), a non-governmental
organization (NGO) linked to Moscow and chaired by Mikhail S. Gorbachev, its founder.
According to Natalie
Grant Wraga, GCI could trace its roots to the Global Forum of Spiritual and
Parliamentary Leaders of Human Survival, in short the Global Forum. Global Forum was supposed to join the Earth
Aid Society through dialogues with its founder, C. Nobel. The group first met in the Cathedral of St.
John the Divine in New York in June 1985.
The meeting deliberated
environmental degradation and depletion of earth’s resources. According to
Grant, two people in the meeting were Angier Biddle Duke, former chief of
protocol in the Kennedy and Johnson administration, and Congressman James H.
Scheuer of New York. The Congressman visited Moscow and Soviet officials
attended a subsequent 1987 conference in Oxford, England. Strangely, she said, the
Archbishop of Canterbury and Mother Teresa were also in attendance at this
conference.
The next big conference
of the Global Forum was held in Moscow in 1990 and was co-sponsored by the
Supreme Soviet of the USSR. With the Academy of Science supporting its content,
speakers included U.N. Secretary General and then Senator Al Gore who spoke as
a member of the Global Forum Council. He wrote an article in Shared Vision, the Global Forum
publication. The keynote speaker was Mikhail S. Gorbachev, then President of
the USSR.
The summary of his
speech appeared in Shared Vision No.
7 on p. 11 along with the following recommendations: demand a nuclear test ban,
establish an international monitoring of the environment, sign a “covenant” to
protect “unique ecological zones,” pledge support of U.N.’s environmental
programs, and of the June 1992 international conference on the environment in
Rio, Brazil.
Natalie Grant Wraga believed
that Gorbachev, as President of the USSR, was speaking and promoting the views
of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. These “communist recommendations”
were taken to heart by the Global Forum which became a “communist front and
started acting upon Gorbachev’s suggestions.”
Grant/Wraga thought that
naïve non-communist environmentalists were duped into joining the communist
effort to turn the communists’ recommendations into a battle to protect the
Earth. Several events pushed the agenda further:
1. Stockholm
Conference in 1972 (Secretary General
was the Canadian millionaire Maurice Strong) – he managed to force his
environmentalist agenda onto the world
2. U.N.
World Commission on Environment and Development in 1987 asked for a code to impose behavioral norms for
individuals and states in regards to Earth
3. The
First Earth Summit in Rio in 1992 influenced 178 countries to sign the 40-chapter U.N. document called U.N. Agenda
21; politicians embraced it at first, then started calling everyone that
criticized it as conspiracy theorists, then brazenly adopted it one county and
town at a time with grants from the federal government disbursed through a
foreign entity operating at local levels, the International Council on Local
Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI)
4. Formal
launching of the Green Cross International in 1993, Kyoto, Japan when Gorbachev accepted the
nomination as founder and chairman
5. U.N.
Agenda 21 of 1992, the blue print
of Sustainable Development, now part of every government plan around the world,
was further promoted and augmented during meetings in Copenhagen, Cairo, and
Beijing. Social justice, a blatant
communist doctrine, appears prominently in this document and is now heavily
promoted by academia and the main stream media who are indoctrinating the
American public non-stop.
6. Rio+5 met in March 1997 to assess the progress of Sustainable
Development five years after 1992 Rio conference
7. The
U.N. Second Earth Summit in New
York, attended by President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore stressed “aid
to developing countries” and reducing emissions of “greenhouse gases,” a pact
designed, in Grant’s opinion, “to cripple what’s left of American industry.”
The Earth Charter, which
had been chaired by Maurice Strong until his death, had collaborated with Green
Cross International, chaired by Gorbachev, and launched an Earth Charter in
1994 in Hague. In order to maintain life on earth, countries and their citizens
had to engage in “norms of ethical and moral behavior” in all sectors of
society as prescribed by these communists. The idea of “consensus” was
developed, the bogus scientific “consensus” that progressives are browbeating
real scientists with, and ridiculing and marginalizing those who deny that anthropogenic
global warming exists.
Green Cross
International (GCI) promoted Gorbachev’s communist values while he called for a
“new civilization.” What this new civilization entailed was not explained but
it was certainly not democracy, nor prayers, since Gorbachev had said that
neither can solve the manufactured and bogus “world crisis.” He constantly
discussed “change of values” but did not specify what values needed changing,
why, and how. But he did say that the planet had rights and “the rights of the
Earth” had to be guaranteed.
Natalie Grant Wraga wrote,
“GCI suggests greater focusing on ‘soft law.’ Soft law refers to non-binding
documents drawn up by special interest groups, such as GCI or the Earth Charter
Council, that establish ‘norms,’ hoping they will take on the force of ‘law’
through customary practice. Majority rule and dissent are thereby circumvented.”
Grant/Wraga was right, as most of U.N. Agenda 21, although not ratified by the
U.S. Senate, has been implemented at all local levels through ICLEI’s visioning
committees of Green Growth/Smart Growth initiatives of Sustainable Development.
The U.S. Chapter of
Green Cross International, named Global Green USA, was opened in 1994 by
Gorbachev during his visit. Its slogan was “one world, one people,” which brings
into focus why every school and college in our nation now promotes global
citizenship, anti-Americanism, social justice, and total divorce from one’s
history, traditions, sovereignty, borders, language, and citizenship.
Grant/Wraga wrote, “Barely
one year after its establishment, Green Cross and Crescent International had
already formed five national chapters with two headquarters in Hague and
Geneva.” She pointed out that none of these organizations had helped any flood
or earthquake victims, oil spills’ mitigation, other environmental disasters, and
have been silent on dam projects. They have been “long on rhetoric but short on
action.”
When Grant/Wraga wrote
her article on the Enviro-Communism in 1998, she astutely pointed out that the
green movement, green on the outside and red on the inside, was a “Soviet
disinformation operation” in which “Facts are exaggerated into a ‘nightmarish’
picture of floods, scorched earth, disease and death. The target was the
industrialized West,” scared into submission by “Moscow’s sympathizers in
science, academe, and the slavishly obedient Establishment media.”
The 97-year old Natalie Grant
Wraga, referring to Maurice Strong and Mikhail Gorbachev, asked a very profound
and telling question, “Who profits from the activities of these two men?”
Who profits today from
the global warming/climate change industry, worth trillions of dollars? Why are
billionaires, the media, the academia, and the environmental movement promoting
the enslavement of their citizens who must decarbonize? If they are so worried
about the environment, why are they not giving up their fossil-fuel driven wealthy
lifestyles and huge fortunes to the poor of the entire world and become poor
like the rest of them?
