Below is the same link on Ruvin and Korea... Check out also the mysterious"Club of Rome" in the same article. Talk about paranoia?? Most think of little black helicopters when you mention groups such as COR... But there they are!

They are a very important generator of Agenda21 policy and other Global Governance agendas always using the "environment' as an excuse to abolish Constitutional sovereignty. The truth as we see is they destroy the environment to exploit it's resources as Aida showed us, with the massive dead Gumbo-limbo Forest in Miami Dade.. Where did all the gumbo-limbo Go?

Historically, they always show there shadowy head just before war breaks out, much as other UN NGOs set the groundwork for revolutions one after another where Communism replaces the free market going back to Katanga in 62 and beyond...
