ties to Fiat and the Olivetti Corporation. He claimed to have solutions for world peace and
prosperity, which could be accomplished through world government. The Club of Rome (COR)
was established with a membership of 75 prominent scientists, industrialists, and economists
from 25 countries, which along with the Bilderbergers, have become one of the most important
foreign policy arms of the Roundtable group.
Many of the COR executives were drawn from NATO, and they have been able to formulate
a lot of what NATO claims are its policies. Through Lord Carrington, they were able to split
NATO into two factions, a left-wing political group (whose doctrine was formed on the basis of
Peccei’s book Human Quality), and its former military alliance.
The first Club of Rome conference in the U.S. was in 1969, where the American branch was
organized as the “American Association of the Club of Rome.” Among its members were:
Norman Cousins (honorary Chairman of Planetary Citizens), John Naisbitt (author of
Megatrends), Amory Lovins (a speaker at Windstar, John Denver’s New Age center in
Snowmass, Colorado), Betty Friedan (founding President of NOW, the National Organization of
Women), Jean Houston and Hazel Henderson (New Age authors and speakers), Robert O.
Anderson and Harlan B. Cleveland (CFR members and part of the Aspen Institute for
Humanistic Studies), Sen. Claiborne Pell (D-RI), and Rep. Frank M. Potter (staff director of the
House Subcommittee on Energy).
Their first book, called The Limits to Growth, was published in 1972, and described their
vision for the world:
“We believe in fact that the need will quickly become evident for social innovation to
match technical change, for radical reform of the institutions and political processes at all
levels, including the highest, that of world polity. And since intellectual enlightenment is
without effect if it is not also political, The Club of Rome also will encourage the
creation of a world forum where statesmen, policy-makers, and scientists can discuss the
dangers and hopes for the future global system without the constraints of formal
intergovernmental negotiation.”
For the most part, the Club (main office at 193 Rissener Landstr. In Hamburg, Germany)
functions as a research institute on economic, political, and social problems, and claim that
“there is no other viable alternative to the future survival of civilization than a new global
community under a common leadership.” Their website claims:
“The Club of Rome’s mission is to act as a global catalyst of change that is free of any
political, ideological or business interest. The Club of Rome contributes to the solution of
what it calls the world problematique, the complex set of the most crucial problems-
political, social, economic, technological, environmental, psychological and cultural-
facing humanity. It does so taking a global, long term and interdisciplinary prospective
aware of the increasing interdependence of nations and the globalization of problems that
pose predicaments beyond the capacity of individual countries.”
It almost sounds like the Club of Rome is the A-Team of internationalist groups. Just like
how the proposals suggested by the Bilderbergers seem to gain acceptance, we have to worry
that the same thing will happen with the COR.
On September 17, 1973, they released a Report called the “Regionalized and Adaptive Model
