Similarly, after the oil-shock recession of 1974-1975, the growing populations of Western Europe, especially West Germany, led to the first postwar discussion of "limits to growth," or environmental threats, and began to question their industrial growth and Belief in technological progress calls into question.Few realize that, to a certain extent, their new "viewpoints" are being carefully manipulated by a network of Anglo-American financial and industrial circles linked to the interests behind the Saltz-jobaden oil strategy The circles are exactly the same. Beginning in the 1970s, a frightening campaign by a select group of Anglo-American think tanks and magazines aimed at shaping a new "Limits to Growth" agenda to ensure the "success" of the violent oil shock strategy ".The American representative, oil magnate Robert Anderson, who attended the May 1973 Bilderberg meeting in Salzjobaden was a key figure in the implementation of the Anglo-American ecological agenda.It was another very successful fraudulent operation in history.

This time, they're targeting nuclear energy, with Anderson and his Atlantic Litchfield Oil Company funneling millions of dollars into selected institutions through the Atlantic Litchfield Foundation.The main beneficiary of Anderson's largesse was an organization called Friends of the Earth, which was started with $200,000 of Anderson's contribution.One of the earliest actions of Anderson's Friends of the Earth was a raid on the West German nuclear industry through its anti-nuclear campaign. One of the early actions launched by Friends of the Earth leader Holger Ström in 1976 was the "March Against Bruckdorf Nuclear Power Plant".Friends of the Earth's director in France, Blaise Lalonde, was the Parisian partner of the Rockefeller family firm, Coudette Brothers, and later became Mitterrand's environment minister in 1989.It was Friends of the Earth that blocked a major provision of the Japan-Australia uranium supply agreement. Japanese Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka meets Australian Prime Minister Gough Whitlam in Canberra, November 1974.The two sides reached a commitment that Australia would provide Japan with uranium ore potentially worth billions of dollars to meet Japan's future needs, and cooperate with Japan to develop uranium enrichment technology.British uranium mining giant Rio Tinto Zinc secretly planted Friends of the Earth in Australia to mobilize opposition to the pending Australia-Japan agreement, resulting in the downfall of Whitlam's government a few months later.Friends of the Earth has many "friends" at the top in London and Washington.

However, to spread "Limits to Growth" in the United States and Europe, Robert Anderson mainly relied on the humanities research project of the Aspen Institute.The director of the Aspen Institute is Anderson himself, and the deputy director is Thorton Bradshaw, leader of the Atlantic Litchfield Foundation. In the early 1970s, the Aspen Institute was the main financial channel for anti-nuclear activities among research institutions. At the time, Robert McNamara, president of the World Bank and mastermind of the Vietnam War, was one of the directors of the well-known Aspen Institute.Other handpicked directors included Lord Bullock of Oxford University, Richard Gardner, an Anglophile American economist (later the U.S. ambassador to Italy), Wall Street banker and Lehman Brothers' Russell Peterson, along with Exxon board member Jack Clark, Gulf Oil's Jerry McAfee and Standard Oil director George McKee, a former U.S. State Department member who attended the founding meeting of the Bilderberg Club in 1954 official.Also joining Anderson's Aspen Institute early on were Countess Marien Dunhoff, publisher of Hamburg's Die Zeit magazine, and John McCloy, former chairman of Chase Manhattan Bank and high commissioner to Germany.

Robert Anderson also invited Joseph Slater from the Ford Foundation, run by McGeorge Bundy, to serve as director of the Aspen Institute.In the early 1970s, it was indeed a tight-knit Anglo-American family.At the Aspen Institute, Slater started the original project to prepare for a worldwide organized opposition to industrial growth—particularly the nuclear industry—with United Nations sponsorship (and funding ).Even in the face of strong opposition from developing countries, Slat pledged that Sweden's ambassador to the United Nations, Wiek Astrom, would propose that the United Nations hold a world conference on the environment.

In June 1972, the United Nations Environment Assembly was held in Stockholm.From the beginning, the conference was run by Anderson's Aspen Institute.Maurice Strong, a Canadian oil businessman and director of the Aspen Institute, served as the chairman of the conference.With the support of the United Nations, the Aspen Institute also raised funds to establish the International Zero Growth Network - the International Institute for Environment and Development, whose board members include Robert Anderson, Robert McNamara, Strong and the British Labor Party E. Jenkins.The group immediately produced a book—Only One Earth—by Rockefeller University associate professor Rainer Dubos and British Malthusian Barbara Ward.This time, they also persuaded the International Chamber of Commerce to support a seminar organized by Maurice Strong and the Aspen Institute to promote new environmentalist ideas to international business people.

The 1972 Stockholm Conference established an international organization and advocacy platform.By the time of the oil crisis of 1973-1974, Atlantic Ridgefield's oil-related business channels, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, and other Anglo-American companies had prepared millions of dollars in capital.With the help of these funds, a massive anti-nuclear propaganda campaign was launched.The funds have been funded by institutions including the super-elite involved World Wildlife Fund, first run by Bilderberger Prince Bernhard and later by Royal Dutch Shell's John Lawton 1973 In June, David Rockefeller, chairman of the Chase Manhattan Bank, proposed that a very influential new international institution, the Trilateral Commission, be established on the basis of the Bilderberg Group.The agency's first executive director was Bilderberger Brzezinski.It was also the first time after the war that the Trilateral Commission included Japanese financial and business elites to participate in the formulation of British policy. In 1976, Kissinger and Brzezinski switched positions and became the executive director of the Trilateral Commission. Brzezinski succeeded Kissinger as the national security adviser to the new President Jimmy Carter. Many key ministers in his cabinet are also members of the semi-secret Trilateral Commission.

These institutions have an irresistible influence on the American and British media, mainly manifested in the fact that in the anti-nuclear offensive funded by Robert Anderson, no voice of the public who may create a conflict of interest is heard, and the fact that the Atlantic Ridgefield Petroleum Company is the 1974 One of the main beneficiary companies after the rise in oil prices in 2019.Anderson's ARCO, Exxon, BP, Shell and other "Seven Sisters" companies have poured tens of millions of dollars into building high-risk oil infrastructure in Alaska's Prudhoe Bay and Britain's North Sea.

Anderson's investments in the North Sea and Alaska, as well as those of BP, Exxon and others, would have led to financial collapse if the 1974 oil crisis hadn't driven the oil market price up to $11.65 a barrel or thereabouts .In order to ensure a friendly voice in the British media, Anderson bought London's "Observer" at the time.In fact, no one will ask how Anderson and his influential friends knew that Kissinger would create the conditions for them to quadruple the price of oil. The result of extensive research and research conducted on companies. In order not to miss an opportunity to promote zero growth, Robert Anderson also donated a large sum of money to another project.At Rockefeller's Villa Bellagio in Italy, the Rockefeller family started the project with Aurelio Pechei and Alexander King. In 1972, the Club of Rome and the American Association of the Club of Rome trumpeted to the public a scientific fraud theory called "Limits to Growth" that was simulated by Dennis Meadows and Jay Forest.Meadows and Forrester added modern computer graphics to the discredited Malthusian theory and insisted that the world was about to perish for lack of sufficient energy, food and other resources.Malthus thought so too, but they ignored the impact of technological progress on improving the human condition.What they were trying to express was a tense and dark cultural pessimism.

One of the first targets of this new Anglo-American anti-nuclear offensive was the West Germany.France's nuclear program was as ambitious, if not more ambitious, than that of the West Germany, but since West Germany was occupied after World War II, Anglo-American intelligence agencies were more likely to succeed. The raids began in 1975, before the ink was dry on the Schmidt government's agreement on a nuclear energy development program. The key figure in this operation was a young woman named Petra Kelly, whose mother was German and stepfather was American, and she lived in the United States until 1970, except for the United States Senator Hubert. ·Have not done any other work outside of Humphrey's work.While in the US, Petra Kelly developed close ties with the Natural Resources Defense Council, one of the new lead bodies of the Anglo-American anti-nuclear organization created by the Ford Foundation under McGeorge Bundy's chairmanship.NRDC directors at the time included Barbara Ward (Ms. Jackson) and Lawrence Rockefeller. In the mid-1970s, Kelly began to organize legal protests in West Germany, attacking the government's nuclear energy construction plan. As a result, the costly plan stalled, and eventually, the entire nuclear energy program in West Germany was cut.
