Anna Louise Strong

One reason is undoubtedly his sponsorship by a member of the American branch of his family, Anna Louise Strong, who is to all appearances a top-level member of what EIR has detailed as "The Trust," on behalf of both Mao Zedong's China and the Soviet Union.

Here is what Elaine Dewar writes about Anna Louise Strong:

"Born a generation ahead of him [Maurice Strong] were his distant cousins Tracy and Anna Louise Strong.
...
Anna Louise Strong, his sister, was a Marxist and a journalist and possibly a spy, although for whom it is difficult to be certain.
...
In part because of his connections to Anna Louise Strong, the Chinese trusted Maurice Strong."
...
In parallel with former Rockefeller family protégé Sir Henry Kissinger, then President Nixon's National Security Adviser, Strong used his family ties with Anna Louise Strong to get Mao Zedong to send Beijing's first delegation to a UN event.
...
As Dewar reports: "At the Stockholm Conference opened in 1972, Strong warned urgently about the onset of global warming, the devastation of forests, the loss of biodiversity, the polluted oceans, and the population time bomb.... As I read this old speech, I realized it could almost be repeated at the Rio Summit."

One by-product of the Stockholm Conference was a new UN bureaucracy, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP).In 1992, Strong served as Secretary General of the UN Conference on the Environment and Development (UNCED), which became known as the Rio Summit.Strong, who was later to be UNEP Secretary General, created the Earth Council out of that.
...
As our interview makes clear, Strong knew that the Rio Summit was aimed to destroy the sovereign nation-state republic.And, he relied heavily on his pal, Al Gore, to convince the United States government to participate at the heads-of-state level.Also, at the 1997 Kyoto Summit, where Strong was the representative of the UN Secretary General, it was again Gore, together with the Vice President's long-time friend British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who pushed through a reduction of so-called "greenhouse gas emissions" for the ostensibly "industrialized nations," at levels that would mean economic devastation worse than the Great Depression.

Strong was Secretary-general of the UN Conference on the Human Environment, the first "Earth Summit," held in Stockholm in 1972.This became the nucleus from which the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) was created.Strong served as the UNEP's first Executive Director for two years.He has become closely aligned with Mikhail Gorbachev and was a participant in Gorbachev's State of the World Forum in San Francisco in 1995.

Strong was closely associated with the writing of the book Our Global Neighborhood.Many of the proposals from that book have been incorporated into the UN's Agenda 21.

Strong owns 63,000 acres in Colorado known as Baca Grande, which has now become a haven for mystics.Strong and his wife, Hanne, set up a $1.2 million Manitou Foundation, which also receives an annual grant of $100,000 from Laurence Rockefeller, to assist in the preservation of various faiths at Baca.
...
In his essay, Stockholm to Rio: A Journey Down a Generation, Strong says that industrialized countries have: developed and benefitted from the unsustainable patterns of production and consumption which have produced our present dilemma.It is clear that current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class -- involving high meat intake, consumption of large amounts of frozen and convenience foods, use of fossil fuels, appliances, home and work-place air conditioning, and suburban housing -- are not sustainable.A shift is necessary toward lifestyles less geared to environmentally damaging consumption patterns.

This is the man who has been selected as senior advisor to the UN Secretary General and charged with the responsibility of reforming the United Nations bureaucracy.As part of that reform there would no longer be permanent membership slots on the Security Council and the veto power would be eliminated.
