Since publishing this website I have received a number of enquiries regarding my background and motiviation. So I have decided to add this page to describe my personal 'path of discovery' and why I felt compelled to write these articles. So here goes...

During my youth I spent many hours in the 'great outdoors' hiking, climbing, fishing and sailing, and I came to the conclusion that protecting and managing the environment would be an interesting and useful career. So I headed off to university and completed a bachelors degree in Biology, and then earned a postgraduate diploma and a masters degree in Environmental Science. Since then I have worked for a number of government environmental agencies and am currently employed as an Environmental Analyst in an agency that is responsible for implementing sustainable development in accordance with the requirements of Agenda 21. Although I had studied various UN conventions, treaties and protocols at university I did not realise their true implications until I became involved in preparing policies and action plans to implement them 'on the ground'.

Over time I became more and more disconcerted with the intrusive regulations being introduced in the name of environmental protection. A typical example I personally encountered is a farmer who wanted to construct a small duck pond. In my region this requires a permit. After going through the process, and paying $500, he dug the pond but later decided it would be better in a slightly different location. So he had to get a new permit to fill in the hole, and another permit to dig the new pond!! Absurd! In my region there is currently one environmental permit for every four people and rising fast. These permits have a lifespan of up to 30 years. An environmental inspector can make an unannouced inspection of any property for which a permit has been issued in order to assess compliance.

In my previous position I spent 8 hours a day making these inspections. People not complying with their permits were issued with 'on the spot fines'. In my view less than 20% of these permits were actually contributing to good environmental outcomes like preventing degradation and protecting biodiversity.
I kept asking myself 'what has this got to do with environmental management?' Even more disturbing was the fact that all our policies and plans were required to begin with a description of how they met the objectives of Agenda 21 and various other UN agreements, and were audited to determine how they complied with UN requirements. So I started looking into who the primary architects were behind Agenda 21, the Earth Charter, the GBA, the Kyoto Protocol, and the various conventions on biodiversity and conservation.

I was amazed to find that the same names kept appearing. In fact the same person is listed as the chief author of all those documents I just listed. He also headed the UN Reform Committee, authored the UN report on Global Governance, was the Assistant Secretary-General of the UN (#2) in charge, president of the UN 'University of Peace' and the leader of the Baha'i movement in North America. His name is Maurice Strong.

So I read every book, speech and lecture I could find authored by Mr Strong. I was absolutely anstonished by his worldview. And this man was #2 in charge of the UN for 12 years!! I also researched the other leaders, and most vocal proponents, of the modern green movement. I was amazed that the same phrases and concepts were being used by all of them. I read all the UN environmental reports and policies, all Al Gore's books, all of James Lovelock's books, Robert Muller, Paul Erhlich, Tim Flannery, and many more. They are full of references to the earth as a sacred sentient super-organism which is being destroyed by humanity's untamed destructive behaviour.

Then I started researching the speeches given by political leaders who are the most vocal about green issues e.g. Tony Blair, Angela Merkel, Arnie, Gordon Brown, Gorbachev etc. It is as if they are all singing off the same songsheet. I also looked into the writings of the most vocal scientists such as James Hansen, Stephen Scheinder and Michael Mann. I was again amazed how many times they refer to the earth as a sentient super-organism called Gaia. Anyway ... I have been researching lots of people and documents. And then I wondered if there were any links between these people, since they had such similar ideologies.

Then I discovered that many of them belonged to a group known as the Club of Rome. Current members of this 'Club' include Al Gore, Javier Solana, Bill Clinton, Mikhail Gorbachev, Tony Blair, Jimmy Carter, Stephen Scheider, Bill Gates, David Rockefeller, George Soros, Ted Turner and many other influential leaders. Sometimes I think this must just be a bad dream, but when you read what they say, in their OWN words, and then you see it all unfolding... I'm not a conspiracy theorist but sometimes, in the face of overwhelming evidence, you just have to accept that there is more going on than meets the eye.

And so, based on my research, I have become personally convinced that 'climate change' is being used to implement a much deeper agenda. In order to protect Gaia from the 'voracious beast of capitalism' they must strike at the beast's lifeblood - fossil fuels. And in order to transition to 'sustainable global earth community' they must implement a new form of governance which will allow them to control, and ultimately reduce, human activity on this planet. I was quite dismayed when I first discovered all this, especially since I am a Christian, and wondered 'why did I waste seven years training for a career in an area that is being used to deceive so many?' and I then felt strongly compelled to warn others as best I could. And so I decided to write this website. I have tried to keep it as clear and concise, except it seems for this page, and use as many quotes and excerpts from official documents as possible.
