It's so much bigger than you think

Maurice Strong, a long-time Canadian businessman and currently the top UN envoy for North Korea, will suspend his work for the United Nations while investigators look into his ties to a South Korean businessman accused in the UN oil-for-food scandal in Iraq.

Strong denies any involvement with the tainted program and has pledged to co-operate with investigators.

Just who is Maurice Strong?

The Canadian Strong is an oxymoronic billionaire socialist who serves as Special Advisor to the Secretary-General of the United Nations and as Senior Advisor to the President of the World Bank.

[...]

He and his wife have been developing tens of thousands of acres in Colorado as a model "international spiritual community," called the Baca [...]

In 1978, a mystic informed Hanne and Maurice Strong that "the Baca would become the center for a new planetary order which would evolve from the economic collapse and environmental catastrophes that would sweep the globe in the years to come." The Strongs say they see the Baca, which they call 'The Valley Of the Refuge Of World Truths ,'" as the paradigm for the entire planet and say that the fate of the earth is at stake. Shirley MacLaine agrees - her astrologer told her to move to the Baca, and she did. She is building a New Age study center at the Baca where people can take short week-long courses on the occult! Apparently, the Kissingers, the Rockefellers, the McNamaras, the Rothschild's, and other Establishment New World Order elitists all agree as well, for they do their pilgrimage to the Baca - where politics and the occult - the New World Order and the New Age - all merge. Watch Maurice Strong and watch the Baca!

[...]

And perhaps it's worth noting here that Strong's Baca Grande is reputedly an active site for observing both UFOs and spirtitual manifestations.

Baca Grande also appears a magnet for military attention:

Strong has said that "we may get to the point where the only way of saving the world will be for industrial civilization to collapse." Again, largely, I agree. One teeny distinction between us: Strong is one of those in a position to effect its collapse.

Each year the World Economic Forum convenes in Davos, Switzerland. Over a thousand CEOs, prime ministers, finance ministers, and leading academics gather in February to attend meetings and set the economic agendas for the year ahead. What if a small group of these word leaders were to conclude that the principle risk to the earth comes from the actions of the rich countries? And if the world is to survive, those rich countries would have to sign an agreement reducing their impact on the environment. Will they do it? Will the rich countries agree to reduce their impact on the environment? Will they agree to save the earth?

The group's conclusion is "no." The rich countries won't do it. They won't change. So, in order to save the planet, the group decides: isn't the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn't it our responsibility to bring that about?

Mr. Strong is on the hot seat for business ties with Tongsun Park, accused of scamming the oil-for-food Iraq program.

Who is Park?

In his heyday three decades ago, Tongsun Park was known as "the Onassis of the Orient" and the "Oriental Gatsby," a socialite par excellence whose famous Georgetown parties attracted the likes of Spiro Agnew and Frank Sinatra.

[...]

In the late 1970s, he became the centre of the Koreagate scandal, in which he was alleged to have handed out envelopes stuffed with cash to willing congressmen as part of a lobbying effort on behalf of the South Korean government.

But although he was charged, he was never convicted, and his name disappeared from the front pages until last week, when he emerged as a central figure in another scandal: the Iraq oil-for-food affair.

[...]

Mr. Park, then described as a wealthy rice broker, was charged with 36 counts of mail fraud, bribery, conspiracy and failure to register as a foreign agent.

The charges were dropped, but several congressmen were accused of taking $200,000 from the businessman and one, California Democrat Richard Hanna, went to jail.

Mr. Park subsequently disappeared from public view, but his business and social activities continued, as he travelled back and forth between the United States and South Korea.

[...]

[One] of the allegations against Mr. Park in the 1970s was that he got his money from South Korean intelligence.

[...]

[C. Wyatt] Dickerson, an 80-year-old stalwart of the Washington social scene who made his money in real estate, is impressed by Mr. Strong's networking skills.

"He knows more people and more people know him than any other human being," he said.

Strong denies any involvement with the $64 billion humanitarian program in Iraq and has pledged to cooperate with an oil-for-food probe led by former U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker.

[...]

Strong acknowledged on Monday that Park invested in an energy company he was associated with in 1997.

So, are the real gamers (in the grand scheme, there are gamers and there are game pieces - do you know which you are?) making a move to block Strong's global objective using Park?

Very interesting.

And so much more - down the rabbit hole - I'm sure.
