20. The Club of Rome

Aspen Institute 

Monte Kwinter, a Canadian representative to the World Economic Forum (WEF), referring to the Aga Khan IV (1936 – 2025), a long-time friend of David Rockefeller, said that at the Davos meetings one could meet “the people who run the world, the presidents of Sony, Nissan, Henry Kissinger, the Aga Khan.”[1] Aga Khan VI’s uncle, Prince Sadruddin (1933 – 2003), the son of Aga Khan III, served as United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees from 1966 to 1977. In 1977, Prince Sadruddin, together with the Denis de Rougemont—of the Sohlberg Circle, an Eranos Conference participant and member of Executive Committee of the CIA’s Congress for Cultural Freedom (CCF)—established a Geneva-based think-tank, Groupe de Bellerive, and a non-profit organization, the Bellerive Foundation, which collaborated with international institutions and NGOs such as the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), for which Prince Sadruddin was a long-standing trustee and former Vice-President.[2] Prince Sadruddin was also a member of the Club of Rome, a non-profit organization that brings together leaders from business, science, and government to address global issues, and which according to Robert Dreyfus, was responsible for orchestrating the installation of Ayatollah Khomeini in Iran in 1979, through an alliance of a faction of the Muslim Brotherhood in league with the Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies.[3] As summarized by William Engdahl:

 

At the end of the 1960s and into the early 1970s, the influential international circles directly tied to David Rockefeller launched a dazzling array of elite organizations and think tanks. These included The Club of Rome; the 1001: A Nature Trust, tied to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF); the Stockholm United Nations Earth Day conferences; the MIT-authored study, Limits to Growth; and David Rockefeller’s Trilateral Commission.

All of these were promoted massively in the media, particularly by select circles of the Atlantic establishment and its prominent news outlets. The Rockefellers used the 1973 oil crisis, a crisis they had deliberately created, to make forced reduction of general living standards appear credible, even necessary for the sake of, as they put it, “the survival of mankind.”[4]

 

The Aspen Institute was founded in 1949 by Chicago businessman Walter Paepcke (1896 – 1960), American Mortimer J. Adler (1902 – 2001) and Robert Maynard Hutchins (1899 – 1977), chancellor of the Rockefeller-funded University of Chicago. He taught at Columbia University and the University of Chicago, served as chairman of the Encyclopædia Britannica board of editors, and founded the Institute for Philosophical Research. Adler left for the University of Chicago in 1929, where he continued his work on the theme, and along with Hutchins, held an annual seminar later reworked into The Great Books of the Western World, a series of books originally published in the United States in 1952, by Encyclopædia Britannica, to present the great books in 54 volumes. The Aspen Institute was largely the creation of Paepcke, who had become inspired by Adler’s Great Books program. In 1949, Paepcke organized a 20-day international celebration for the 200th birthday of German philosopher, poet and Illuminati member Goethe. The celebration attracted over 2,000 attendees, including Albert Schweitzer, José Ortega y Gasset, Thornton Wilder, and Arthur Rubinstein.[5]

Hutchins left Chicago for the Ford Foundation, a primary CIA front, where he channeled resources into studying education. The Ford Foundation had also been among the primary funders of the Aspen Institute, along with such foundations the Carnegie Corporation, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.[6] Likewise, the Club of Rome was a project initiated by the Rockefeller family at their estate in Bellagio, Italy. The Club of Rome grew out of a 1965 international conference called “The Conditions of World Order,” at the Villa Serbelloni in Bellagio, Italy, which was owned by the Rockefeller Foundation, and which was sponsored by the CIA-front, the Congress for Cultural Freedom (CCF), with a grant from the Ford Foundation and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.[7] In 1959, Villa Serbelloni had become the property of the Rockefeller Foundation the bequest of  American heiress Helena “Ella” Holbrook Walker, which had been bought in 1939 by her husband, Alessandro, 1st Duke of Castel Duino (1881 – 1937), of the wealthy dynasty of Thurn of Taxis, who long had a relationship with the Rothschilds, the Illuminati and the Asiatic Brethren.[8]

The founders of the Club of Rome were all senior officials of NATO. These included Aurelio Peccei (1908 – 1984), the chairman of Fiat— who was also chairman of the Economic Committee of the Atlantic Institute, and Alexander King (1909 – 2007), the co-founder, who was Director General of Scientific Affairs of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). In late October 1968, only half a year after the founding meeting of the Club of Rome, the OECD, in collaboration with the Rockefeller Foundation, held a “Working Symposium on Long-Range Forecasting and Planning” in Bellagio.[9] Peccei was a senior manager of the Fiat car company, owned by the powerful Italian Agnelli family. The Agnelli Foundation financed the initial work of the Club. Foundation Chairman, Fiat’s Gianni Agnelli, was an intimate friend of David Rockefeller and a member of the International Advisory Committee of Rockefeller’s Chase Manhattan Bank. Agnelli and David Rockefeller had been close friends since 1957 and Agnelli became a founding member of David Rockefeller’s Trilateral Commission in 1973, the year Rockefeller instigated the oil crisis.[10]

The Club of Rome raised considerable public attention with its report Limits to Growth (1972), which sold 12 million copies in more than 30 translations, making it the best-selling environmental book in world history. The result of a ground-breaking exercise in cybernetic modelling at MIT, it predicted a Malthusian scenario, which forecasted that economic growth could not continue indefinitely because of the limited availability of natural resources, particularly oil. In 1993, in The First Global Revolution, a follow-up report on The Limits to Growth from the Club of Rome, King revealed: “The common enemy of humanity is man.  In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome. The real enemy then, is humanity itself.”[11]

 

Paris Review 

At Harvard, Prince Sadruddin lived in Eliot House with Paul Matisse, grandson of French artist Henri Matisse, with future Paris Review founders George Plimpton and John Train, and with Stephen Joyce, grandson of Irish writer James Joyce.[12] While still at Harvard in 1953, Prince Sadruddin became the founding publisher of the Paris Review, with financial assistance from his father, Aga Khan III.[13] The Paris Review, “which became perhaps the greatest American literary institution ever,” has been hailed by Time magazine as the “biggest ‘little magazine’ in history.”[14] The Paris Review’s “Writers at Work” series includes interviews with Ezra Pound, Ernest Hemingway, T.S. Eliot, Jorge Luis Borges, Ralph Ellison, William Faulkner, Thornton Wilder, Robert Frost, Pablo Neruda, William Carlos Williams, and Vladimir Nabokov, among hundreds of others. A number of Paris Review editors, George Plimpton (1927 – 2003) included, repeatedly maintained ties to the CCF.[15] In the documentary “Doc,” about another Paris Review founder, Harold Louis “Doc” Humes, George Plimpton admitted that Peter Matthiessen (1927 – 2014) founded the Paris Review as a CIA cover. That fact was openly admitted by Matthiessen, later the celebrated author of The Snow Leopard, who penned the novel Partisans while he was in the employ of the CIA.[16]

Yale Professor Norman Holmes Pearson (1909 – 1975), a prominent counterintelligence agent during World War II, is cited on the Paris Review web site as the intelligence officer who recruited Matthiessen into the CIA.[17] Pearson was a friend of the Ezra Pound and modernist poet Hilda Doolittle (aka “H.D.”), who co-founded the avant-garde Imagist group of poets with Ezra Pound. Doolittle was raised in the Moravian community of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, founded by followers of the crypto-Sabbatean Count Zinzendorf. In 1933 she began psychoanalysis with Sigmund Freud, who encouraged her to explore her religious heritage as a means of self-understanding. H.D. believed she had inherited a psychic “gift” through her mother’s Moravian ancestors. She was intrigued by eighteenth-century Moravian mysticism, especially Zinzendorf’s ecumenical plans to unite all true Christians.[18] Doolittle was first introduced to occult and esoteric religious ideas in her youth by Pound, theme explored in her poetry, a similar manner to poets such as Golden Dawn member W.B. Yeats, with whom she was personally acquainted.[19]

During World War II, Pearson worked in the OSS alongside William Donovan and CIA director Allen Dulles. After World War II, Pearson helped organize the CIA. To head counterintelligence for the new agency he helped recruit James Jesus Angleton, who had been his “number two” in the OSS in London and head of X-2 Italy. Pearson hired H.D.’s daughter as his secretary, who then became that of his assistant Angleton. “Intellectuals, or a certain sort of intellectuals, have always had a romance about intelligence services,” remarked Carol Brightman. “It’s a kind of coming of age experience, going into the intelligence services, especially on certain campuses such as Yale.”[20] The intersection of artists and intelligence has a long tradition, with past examples including Somerset Maugham working for the British Secret Service during World War I, Graham Greene working undercover for MI5 and Joseph Conrad for MI6. Others also included Ian Fleming and John le Carré. James Jesus Angleton, who became one of the founder-officers of the CIA was a poet and, as a Yale undergraduate, editor of the literary magazine Furioso, which published many of the best-known poets of the inter-war period, including Ezra Pound, with whom he was friends. One of Angleton’s several protégés, Cord Meyer, had edited the Yale Lit and published short stories in the Atlantic Monthly before joining the CIA. There was also Watergate “plumber” and suspected JFK assassination conspirator E. Howard Hunt, who wrote East of Farewell, Limit of Darkness, and Stranger in Town, which won him a Guggenheim Fellowship. After the war, Pearson returned to academia to take charge of Yale’s fledgling American Studies program.[21]

Nelson Aldrich (1935 – 2022), who began as a Paris Review editor in 1958, writes in his oral history of Plimpton, “George, Being George,” that he left the Review to join the CCF.[22] Aldrich’s great-grandfather, Nelson W. Aldrich, was a leader of the Republican Party in the Senate and fundamental in the founding of the Federal Reserve banking system in the United States. His great-aunt Abigail married American financer John D. Rockefeller Jr. who was the son of Standard Oil co-founder John D. Rockefeller. Nelson Aldrich worked as an editorial assistant at the Paris Review, before himself moving on to the CCF as well.[23] Issue 18, published Koestler’s “Darkness at Noon.” Frances FitzGerald, daughter of the CIA division chief in charge of operations against Castro, worked at the Paris Review in the summer of 1962. After spending time with Frank Wisner in Tangier, then worked with the CCF.[24] Before practicing Zen, Matthiessen was an early pioneer of LSD, claiming that his Buddhism evolved from his drug experiences.[25] In 1966, in London, Humes took large amounts of the drug, which was given to him by the CIA’s “Pied Piper” of LSD Timothy Leary, and he became paranoid and sometimes delusional. After this, he no longer published any writing.[26]

 

Aryan Diabolism 

Prince Sadruddin’s half-brother, Prince Aly Khan (1911 – 1960), was Pakistan’s Ambassador to the United Nations. Prince Aly’s first wife was Princess Taj-ud-dawlah Aga Khan, formerly Joan Yarde-Buller (1908 – 1997),  the eldest daughter of the British peer John Yarde-Buller, 3rd Baron Churston, the aide-de-camp to the Viceroy of India. Joan’s first husband was Loel Guinness, a British Conservative Member of Parliament, of the Guinness brewing family. They divorced in 1949, and Prince Aly married American movie star Rita Hayworth. His list of affairs included high-profile lovers such as the British debutante Margaret Whigham, later Duchess of Argyll, Thelma, Viscountess Furness, an American who was simultaneously involved with the Prince of Wales, British entertainer Joyce Grenfell and British socialite and hostess Pat Marlowe. Aly also had an affair with Pamela Harriman (née Digby; 1920 – 1997), the great-great niece of Jane Digby, who was first married to Winston Churchill’s son Randolph before marrying W. Averell Harriman. Pamela famously had numerous affairs, including with Frank Sinatra, Baron Elie de Rothschild, Gianni Agnelli and, it is believed, Jock Hay Whitney.[27] Pamela was a friend Unity Mitford, of the famous Mitford sister, and “coaxed Unity into taking her to tea with Hitler” in 1937 in Munich.[28] Investigative journalist Martin Bright, as revealed in an article in The New Statesman, has discovered evidence suggesting that Unity may have been carrying Hitler’s child.[29] Pamela’s third Husband was banker and Skull and Bonesman W. Averell Harriman (1891 – 1986).

Prince Aly Khan was a friend of James Madole, founder of the neo-Nazi National Renaissance Party, who belonged together to an occult fraternity based on the Theosophy of Blavatsky.[30] According to Tani Jantsang, who would later found group Satanic Reds, which offered a mix of Satanism and Marxism,[31] and who personally witnessed their friendship, described the scene in Madole’s apartment in New York:

 

Madole was in the habit of usually having meetings with Yorktown big wigs, Captive Nation big wigs (nationalist leaders who fled from Soviet bloc countries) and even some UN people from Mid East countries. Ali Khan was a friend of Madole’s. This was no joke – they were in reality some kind of occult fraternity that based its tenets on Blavatsky and had definite connections to the darker side of the Theosophical Society which had been around a long time – and which is what Thule Society was about (Hitler joined that).[32]

 

According to Jantsang, the group shared an overview of history of “Aryan Diabolism,” which was supposedly part of the natural religion, the “Pagan warrior cult,” of the Aryan people:

 

They held that the Jews (the original ones, called Abrahm) had eliminated the “yoni” from the “lingum/yoni” pair in their ancient days, and had become a Phallic cult that had a vested interest in keeping the Aryans Christianized and hence, TAMED. In this paradigm of “the way things are” the Jews left India (Abrahm means not Brahmin and was their original name before they made it Abraham), demonized the yoni and took to worshiping a phallus whilst preaching against the natural order of things and, of course, they mingled with the Negroes. The Chandravansa and the Suryavansa of India had mixed and what the mixtures were, according to this lore, were the Aryan Race! Note, the Chandravansa are the 4th Root Race, the Naga or Turanians—and Suryavansa are the 5th Root Race according to this lore. The mixing of these two over the years produced the Aryans.[33]

 

Madole was a protégée H. Keith Thompson (1922 – 2002), a friend of Crowley’s co-conspirator George Sylvester Viereck and American fascist Francis Parker Yockey (1917 – 1960), and who served as a registered foreign agent for Socialist Reich Party (SRP) of Otto Remer (1912 – 1997), a former Wehrmacht major general, who played a decisive role in stopping Operation Valkyrie, the July 20 plot of 1944 to assassinate Hitler.[34] Viereck was a close friend of Nikola Tesla and Aleister Crowley, who collaborated together on black propaganda for The International and The Fatherland, during World War I.[35] Viereck was found to have worked on behalf of Nazi Germany.[36] A key state witness against Viereck when he was accused of being a German agent was Sanford Griffith, whom Thompson referred to as an “ADL master spy.”[37] Thompson showed that Sanford Griffith and other “anti-Nazi” and ADL agents were enabling a willing Madole.[38] James Wagner, a former Security Echalon (SE) commander, recalled that there were close relations between Madole’s NRP and the Church of Satan of Anton LaVey. Madole and LaVey met frequently, and Madole is said to have erected a large satanic altar in his apartment, which included an image of Baphomet, and Madole played LaVey’s recording of the Satanic Mass at several NRP meetings.[39] According to Jantsang, Madole believed LaVey had a “good scheme going” and “wanted to take it over and include it in the ‘rag tag’ portion of what he was connected to.”[40]

In 1957, Prince Aly Khan met President Iskander Mirza of Pakistan and was offered a post as the country’s Ambassador to the United Nations. He was elected as vice president of the United Nations General Assembly the following year and also served as chairman of the UN’s Peace Observation Committee. When Prince Aly Khan died in a car crash in 1960, Allen Dulles, then head of the CIA, sent his son, Aga Khan IV a letter to express his condolences, stating:

 

Allow me to offer my sympathy and condolence in your tragic bereavement. While you mourn the untimely death a devoted father, the world mourns the loss of a vital personality and friend of peace in the tradition of his illustrious father. May this be a solace to you in your sorrow.[41]

 

Aga Khan IV was the son of Prince Aly Khan and his first wife, Joan Yarde-Buller. Like his predecessors, the Aga Khan IV claims direct lineal descent from the Islamic prophet Muhammad through Muhammad’s cousin and son-in-law, Ali, who is considered an Imam by Nizari Ismailis, and Ali’s wife Fatima, Muhammad’s daughter from his first marriage. Over the years, the Aga Khan IV has received numerous honors, honorary degrees, and awards from states and institutions across the world. The Aga Khan IV had a forty-year long friendship with David Rockefeller, and was a roommate at Harvard of his nephew Jay Rockefeller, a member of the CFR.[42] Aga Khan was a personal friend of Queen Elizabeth II, her husband Prince Philip, and King Juan Carlos of Spain.[43] The style of His Highness was formally granted to the Aga Khan IV by Queen Elizabeth II in 1957 upon the death of his grandfather Aga Khan III.[44] Together with Giovanni Agnelli, he sponsored the “Azzurra,” the first challenge of an Italian boat in the mythical America’s Cup.[45]

 

1001 Club

The Bellerive Foundation collaborated with international institutions, British and Scandinavian bilateral aid organizations, and other NGOs such as the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).[46] Club of Rome founder Aurelio Peccei also became active in organizations like the WWF, Friends of the Earth and the International Ocean Institute.[47] Friends of the Earth (FOE) was founded in 1969 in San Francisco by David Brower, Donald Aitken and Gary Soucie after Brower’s split with the Sierra Club, and has received funding from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.[48] Julian Huxley was first Director of UNESCO, the first President of the British Humanist Association, and a founding member of the WWF, established in 1961 by ex-SS officer and Bilderberg Group founder, Prince Bernhard (1911 – 2004), and Julian Huxley, in response to articles he published in the British newspaper The Observer. The WWF was conceived to act as an international fundraising organization to support the work of existing conservation groups, primarily the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

In 1963, the WWF held a conference and published a major report warning of anthropogenic global warming. In 1971, Prince Philip, and Prince Bernhard and South African businessman and conservationist Anton Rupert, founded The 1001: A Nature Trust, known as the 1001 Club, to cover the administrative and fundraising aspects of the WWF. A small group of Bilderbergers, including Gianni Agnelli and David Rockefeller of the Steering Committee and Marcus Wallenberg Jr., became members of the 1001 Club. The list sordid characters associated with the 1001 Club have included Robert O. Anderson, Conrad Black, Alexander King, Reza Shah Pahlavi, Jean Riboud, Laurence Rockefeller, Edmund de Rothschild, Knight of Malta and honorary member of the Club of Rome Juan Carlos of Spain, Mobutu Sese Seko, J. Peter Grace, Paul Mellon, John M. Olin, Peter Munk, and JFK assassination conspirators Nelson Bunker Hunt, Clint Richardson’s son John D. Murchison, Permindex-founder Louis Mortimer Bloomfield.[49]

Prince Sadruddin and his nephew Aga Khan IV were also members of the 1001 Club.[50] Also a member of 1001 Club was Francesca von Habsburg, also known as Francesca Thyssen-Bornemisza, former wife of Otto von Habsburg’s son, Karl von Habsburg. Francesca is the daughter of Baron Hans Heinrich von Thyssen-Bornemisza, of the powerful Thyssen family, and his third wife, fashion model Fiona Frances Elaine Campbell-Walter, descendant of the Campbell baronets. Baron Hans Heinrich was the son of a German father and a Hungarian and English American mother related to Daniel M. Frost and John Kerry.[51] Baron Hans Heinrich’s second marriage was Anglo-Indian fashion model Nina Sheila Dyer, who later married and divorced Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan and committed suicide in 1965. Sadruddin was the founder of the Aga Khan Rural Support Program (AKRSP), which is affiliated with the 1001 Club.[52]

 

Oil Crisis                              

Agnelli and David Rockefeller had been close friends since 1957 and Agnelli became a founding member of David Rockefeller’s Trilateral Commission in 1973, the year Rockefeller instigated the oil crisis.[53] The role of Saudi Arabia in international affairs was transformed with the advent of the Oil Crisis of 1973 allowing it to achieve formidable wealth, which it then used to propagate its version of Islam and expand its participation in the execution of American foreign policy by proxy. As revealed by William Engdahl, in A Century of War: Anglo-American Oil Politics and The New World Order, the Oil Crisis was deliberately created by the financial elites whose power had been increasing through the world’s growing dependence on oil. The largest single expenditure by recipient countries in Western Europe of the postwar European Recovery Program, the Marshall Plan, which was devised after studies by the Rockefeller Foundation, was to purchase oil supplied primarily by American oil companies and derived mainly from Saudi Arabia. A consequence of the extraordinary expansion of the importance of the major American oil companies was the parallel rise of New York banking groups tied to these oil companies. According to William Engdahl:

 

The net effect of this postwar cartelization of American banking and financial power into the tiny handful of banks in New York, strongly oriented to the fortunes of international petroleum markets and policy, had enormous consequences for the following three decades of American financial history, overshadowing all other policy influences in US and international policy, with the possible exception of the Vietnam War deficit-financing.[54]

 

“The people who initiated the Club of Rome,” explains Engdahl, “were in significant part the same people who, months later, would shape the dimensions of the October 1973 oil shock at the Bilderberg conference in Saltsjoebaden, Sweden.”[55] Already a few months before the Oil Crisis in May, at the super-secret Bilderberg meeting held at Saltsjoebaden, Sweden, a group of the world’s leading financial and political representatives discussed how to manage the coming flow of OPEC petroleum revenue that would inevitably result from a rise in oil prices from the orchestrated crisis. Present at the meeting were David Rockefeller and the leading lights of the oil industry and London and New York banking. Also included were Bilderberger Robert O. Anderson of Atlantic Richfield Oil Co., former head of ARCO, an oil company affiliated with Exxon; Lord Greenhill, chairman of British Petroleum; Rockefeller’s collaborator Zbigniew Brzezinski, of the Trilateral Commission and soon to be Carter’s national security advisor; Gianni Agnelli of Italy’s Fiat and Otto Wolff von Amerongen of Germany, director of Exxon and also a member of the Trilateral commission. Among the other Bilderbergers were Baron Edmund de Rothschild’ Robert McNamara of the World Bank; Sir Eric Roll of S. G. Warburg and Co., Ltd and director of the Bank of England; Pierce Paul Schweitzer of the International Monetary Fund (IMF); and George Ball of Lehman Bothers investment bank, past director of SOCAL, as well as member of the CFR.

Engdahl asserts that the Yom Kippur War of 1973, provoked when Egypt and Syria invaded Israel, was secretly coordinated by Washington and London using the intricate diplomatic channels developed by Henry Kissinger. Kissinger, who had persuaded Nixon to name him Secretary of State just prior to the war, controlled the Israeli response and exploited channels to the Egyptians and Syrians. His method was to misrepresent to each party the critical elements of the other, ensuring the war and the subsequent Arab oil embargo. By October 16, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), traditionally dominated by Saudi Arabia, raised the price of oil and declared an embargo on the US and the Netherlands, Rotterdam being the major oil port of Europe, thus eventually quadrupling the price of oil, which they would directly profit from.

As part of Kissinger’s plot to profit from the opportunity, the US Treasury had established a secret accord with the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency (SAMA) according to which a substantial portion of the outflow of Saudi petrodollars resulting from the crisis were to be invested in financing US government deficits. As Kissinger had once noted, “control the oil and you can control entire continents. Control food and you control people.”[56] Without their own domestic resources, these Third World countries were suddenly confronted with an unexpected and unpayable increase in oil imports. Therefore, the New York and London banks took the OPEC oil profits that had been deposited with them and loaned them back out as Eurodollar bonds or loans to those countries, now desperate to borrow dollars to finance their oil imports. Kissinger termed this dastardly scheme “recycling petrodollars,” a strategy that had already been discussed at the 1971 Bilderberger meeting in Sweden. Over 1974, developing countries incurred a total trade deficit of $35 billion according to the IMF, a deficit precisely four times as large as in 1973, in proportion to the oil price increase.[57]
