Their first and last meeting had taken place at Iron Mountain in Hudson, New York, the first
secure underground records storage center designed to protect vital corporate records in case of a
nuclear disaster.
There was some speculation that the think-tank known as the Hudson Institute actually
conducted the study. The Institute was started in 1961, “to help determine the entire future of the
U.S.- and time permitting, much of the world beyond. Many of their fellows and members
belonged to the CFR.
The long-term plan to control the population was said to have been completed in 1966. It was
reported that President Johnson ordered the Report to be sealed, because with the knowledge it
contained, the American people could have used it to prevent the takeover of their country during
the early stages. The cover letter of the Report said: “Because of the unusual circumstances
surrounding the establishment of this Group, and in view of the nature of its finding, we do not
recommend that this Report be released for publication … such actions would not be in the
public interest … a lay reader, unexposed to the exigencies of higher political or military
responsibility, will misconstrue the purposed of this project, and the intent …We urge that the
circulation of the Report be closely restricted to those who’s responsibilities require that they be
apprised of its contents…”
The Report, in fact, appeared to be a blueprint for the future of this country, and contained
recommendations that included plans for governmental control and manipulation, depopulation,
gun control and disarmament, an international police force, and concentration camps.
One man, calling himself John Doe, who was involved in the Report, decided to release its
contents, it was published in 1967 by Dial Press (a division of Simon and Schuster) as the Report
From Iron Mountain on the Possibility and Desirability of Peace. Even though it was publicly
renounced by the Establishment as a hoax, it was translated into fifteen languages.
The SSG concluded that peace “would almost certainly not be in the best interest of stable
society,” because War, was too much a part of the world economy, and therefore it was
necessary to continue a state of war indefinitely:
“War has provided both ancient and modern societies with a dependable system for
stabilizing and controlling national economies. No alternate method of control has yet
been tested in a complex modern economy that has shown itself remotely comparable in
scope or effectiveness. War fills certain functions essential to the stability of our society;
until other ways of filling them are developed, the war system must be maintained, and
improved in effectiveness.”
It also said that war, “provides anti-social elements with an acceptable role in the social
structure ... the younger, and more dangerous, of these hostile social groupings have been kept
under control by the Selective Service System ... man destroys surplus members of his own
species by organized warfare ... enables the physically deteriorating older generation to maintain
control of the younger, destroying it if necessary.”
The report also argued that the authority that the government exercised over the people came
from its ability to wage war, and that without war the government might cease to exist: “War is
virtually synonymous with nationhood. The elimination of war implies the inevitable elimination
of national sovereignty and the traditional nation-state.”
