"Nevertheless, an effective political substitute for war would require “alternate enemies,” some of which might seem equally far fetched in the context of the current war system. It may be, for instance, that gross pollution of the environment can eventually replace the possibility of mass destruction by nuclear weapons as the principal apparent threat to the survival of the species. Poisoning of the air, and of the principal sources of food and water supply, is already well advanced, and at first glance would seem promising in this respect; it constitutes a threat that can be dealt with only through social organization and political power."
The quote above is from The Report From Iron Mountain, a book of which there is still controversy as to whether it is a work of fiction (a la 1984) or a real document from a secret government panel. Video below analyzes the Report futher, including "debt for land swaps"...
