of the Global World System,” which was prepared by Directors Mihajlo Mesarovic and Eduard
Pestel (part of the “Strategy for Survival Project”), which revealed the Club’s goal of dividing
the world into ten political/economic regions (which have been equated to the 10 “Kingdoms” of
Bible prophecy), which would unite the entire world under a single form of government. These
regions are: North America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Japan, Rest of Developed World,
Latin America, Middle East, Rest of Africa, South and Southeast Asia, and China. The same plan
was published in a Club of Rome book called Mankind at the Turning Point, which said: “The
solution of these crises can be developed only in a global context with full and explicit
recognition of the emerging world system and on a long-term basis. This would necessitate,
among other changes, a new world economic order and a global resources allocation system…”
In 1976, they published RIO: Reshaping the International Order which called for a new
international order, including an economic redistribution of wealth.
Howard T. Odum, a marine biologist at the University of Florida, who is a member of the
Club of Rome, was quoted in the August, 1980 edition of Fusion magazine, as saying: “It is
necessary that the United States cut its population by two-thirds within the next 50 years.” He
didn’t say how this would be accomplished. Their 1972 book, The Limits to Growth (which sold
12 million copies in 27 languages), dealt with the problem of worldwide overpopulation, and
stated that “if the world’s consumption patterns and population growth continued at the same
high rates of the time, the earth would strike its limits within a century.”
During the Carter Administration, a task force was appointed to expand upon this report, and
on July 24, 1980, a two-volume document called “Global 2000 Report,” which had been written
by former Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance, was presented to President Carter, and then
Secretary of State Edmund S. Muskie. It attempted to project global economic trends for the next
twenty years, and indicated that the resources of the planet were not sufficient enough to support
the expect dramatic increase in the world population. The report called for the population of the
U.S. to be reduced by 100 million people by the year 2050.
About six months later, the Council on Environmental Quality made recommendations based
on the Report, called “Global Future: A Time to Act.” They suggested an aggressive program of
population control which included sterilization, contraception and abortion. In August, 1982, the
Executive Intelligence Review published a report called “Global 2000: Blueprint for Genocide”
which said that the two aforementioned Presidential reports “are correctly understood as political
statements of intent- the intent on the part of such policy centers as the Council on Foreign
Relations, the Trilateral Commission, and the International Monetary Fund, to pursue policies
that will result not only in the death of the 120 million cited in the reports, but in the death of
upwards of two billion people by the year 2000.”
Peccei wrote (based on a report by COR member Harland Cleveland, U.S. Ambassador to
NATO, who believed that Third World countries should decide for themselves who should be
eliminated):
“Damaged by conflicting policies of three major countries and blocs, roughly patched up
here and there, the existing international economic order is visibly coming apart at the
seams ... The prospect of the necessity of the recourse to triage deciding who must be
saved is a very grim one indeed. But, if lamentably, events should come to such a pass,
the right to make such decisions cannot be left to just a few nations because it would lend
themselves to ominous power over life of the world's hungry.”
