Cybernetics, social systems engineering, 'world forums' in balance, and the Club of Rome

Here is the first ever report published by the Club of Rome, written. by a Turkish cybernetist Hasan Ozbekhan, who was also asked (not clear know by who) to organize the initial Rome meeting of the club:

See then 40 year preview of this private club: https://www.laetusinpraesens.org/links/clubrome.php#repo

What is striking is Ozbekhan called in three other consultants, experts in complex system managers and cyberneticists, to set the thing up.

These consultants "included Alexander Christakis, Erich Jantsch, and Aurelio Peccei. The "prospectus" in the form of a "report to the Club of Rome" was entitled: The Predicament for Mankind: Quest for Structured Responses to Growing World-wide Complexities and Uncertainties  (1970).

The Institutional and funding support was provided by Institute Batalle based in Geneva in Switzerland. [Interesting what links Rome and Switzerland is Vatican and its Switz guards (as a juicy conspiracy element)]. 

In the first report they were calling for formation of a World Forum (on economic, political, and social issues). Some thirty years later we got all these forums sat in motion as World Economic Forum, World Social Forum, and World Political Forum. As it was appeared sort of an alternative tripartite model for the Good Governance of Globalization. 

As similar to the New World Order conspiracies... those who were in the kitchen of these three forums were linked to Club of Rome. 

In the absence of clear left analysis, critique, and action against such an elitist ruling - class project, or involvement, the emancipatory aspects of such projects did not thrive yet in opposition pave way to growing assaults fro radicalizing nationalist capital and ruling class fractions. Left and 'liberals' (in the US), had been seen puppets of the globalist power elite. 

This story was given conspiracy tone and made easy accessible and chewable for the white Anglo Saxon male protestant middle classes that are losing ground. 

In short we all have a stake and role in coming to today, we are at the brink of the third imperialist capitalist corrective intra-class war.. with nukes.

There were many things we could have done but we didn't, and we have watched the things to unfold in to this irreversible point. Like we all were paralyzed. 

Now at least we need a real story to tell our children, ones that had been, murdered, still alive, and yet to be born...

Shall the force be with you..
