In recent months, it has become noticeable
that the political endurance of the green zero-growth ideology is
disappearing. For example, the greens were not able-except sometimes in
attenuated form-to push through internationally their measures against
emissions of what they call the "climate poison," carbon dioxide. Such
developments have created a political environment in which more and more
scientists have gotten up the nerve to come out openly against the
untenable theory that the effect of human industry is to bring about a
global climate catastrophe. In Germany, which vaunts itself as an
international model of ecological awareness, the Green Party is fighting
to stay above 5 percent in the regional elections and the coming federal
elections. Meanwhile, in Denmark, a true eco-El Dorado, the prime minister
of the new government, the ultra-liberal Fogh Rasmussen, gave
"eco-skeptic" Bjorn Lomborg the job of making an in-depth examination of
state expenditures for green projects.
Lomborg, a former member of Greenpeace, and Associate Professor of
Statistics at Aarhaus University in Denmark, authored a book last year,
The Skeptical Environmentalist, which rips to pieces-one by one-the
hair-raising, lying fairy tales of the environmentalist mafia.1 And this
same "dissident" Lomborg will now preside over when and where the money
spigot to the greens is going to be turned off. The pain threshold has
been passed, and a wailing and gnashing of teeth are resounding throughout
the media and the Internet, hoping for its green echo.
Since the paradigm shift towards a zero-growth society, brought about
by the forces behind the Club of Rome-aided and abetted by more than 30
years of conscious lies and propaganda2-billions of dollars have been
thrown away upon ideologically motivated projects. A correction of the
worst excretions of this paradigm shift is long overdue. But what should
be the conceptual basis for this overdue correction, for an enduring
improvement of the human economy in the biosphere? That is the question.
First, let us ask ourselves, what made it so easy for the Club of Rome
to pull off its desired paradigm shift? The trick they pulled in their
notorious report, The Limits to Growth, was so transparent, that nobody
should have fallen for it. The trick consisted of using the word "growth,"
for something which is, in reality, only "multiplication." It reminds one
of the classic example of the lily pond, where the plant population
doubles each week. After only one week it is completely full, and-Help!
But that is not growth, it is no more than multiplication, which naturally
finds its "limits" in the pond's surface area.
True growth includes a quality that transcends mere multiplication. The
clearest example is the growth of a human being in the first year after
the fertilization of the egg, from which he or she grows. In this process,
it is not so much a question of multiplication of cells, but rather
permanent differentiation, reorganization, and the development of new
organs, which are the substance of true growth. The quality of change of
the growth process becomes particularly obvious with the singular event
known as birth. Yet, in principle, the same qualitative transformation is
true for any growth process that is capable of maintaining itself over any
length of time. Naturally, that is especially the case for economic
processes.
Why did almost all politicians, economists, and scientists fall for
this simple trick? The reason lies in a deeply rooted flaw in the thinking
process of the dominant free market economic doctrine, which makes its
acolytes blind to the trick. Anyone who thinks that value is
created by the parasitical buy-low-and-sell-high principle, does not
understand true growth at all.
Likewise, anyone who seeks to measure economic growth, as an accountant
might, in fixed scalar units, such as tons of production, quantities of
money, prices, amounts of energy, and so on, fails to see-just as does the
Club of Rome-the decisive factor for judging the long-term,
self-subsisting growth process of the economy, namely, the development of
the creative power of labor. The essential dynamic of this qualitative
development cannot by its very nature be captured by purely statistical
methods, nor by so-called "nonlinear" mathematical models. It is this
"dogmatic" problem which we will examine more closely here.

From Spring 2002 21st Century issue.
This is a crazy world. What can be done? Amazingly, we have been mislead. We have been taught that
we can control government by voting. The founder of the Rothschild dynasty, Mayer Amschel Bauer,
told the secret of controlling the government of a nation over 200 years ago. He said, "Permit me
to issue and control the money of a nation and I care not who makes its laws." Get the picture?
Your freedom hinges first on the nation's banks and money system. Freedom is connected with Debt Elimination for each individual. Not only does
this end personal debt, it places the people first in line as creditors to the National Debt ahead
of the banks. They don't wish for you to know this. It has to do with recognizing WHO you really

Survivor In 1942 a US Navy destroyer was shipwrecked off
Newfoundland. Of the few who survived, one man, Lanier Phillips, was black. The rescuers, never
having seen a black man before, tried to scrub his skin clean and white. This is a story about
growing up with fear in segregated Georgia, enlisting in a segregated navy, facing death in the
icy North Atlantic, and a rescue which galvanized a man to fight racial discrimination.
