Webmaster Introduction: Many serious military and political insiders in Washington, D.C., such as Col. Fletcher Prouty, regard The Report From Iron Mountain (1967), not as satire, as some claim, but rather as a blueprint for elite social engineering of American society that explains a great deal about the past half century. I believe that this assessment is indeed born out by subsequent events. Hence, coming to grips with this document, probably authored chiefly by Herman Kahn of the Hudson Institute (think tank), is an important aid to understanding our present world. Kahn is also the author of the Nuclear Threat Ladder strategy that the US is currently deploying against Russia as of January, 2025. If you want to know why our leaders and our world appear so insane, this short pdf helps explain why. John Maynard Keynes, the British progenitor of Keynesian economics, is also said to have been a member of this elite think tank as well as Leonard C. Lewin, the author of the introduction to the report.

The Report From Iron Mountain on The Possibility and Desirability of Peace (1967) pdf
Report from Iron Mountain unveils a hitherto top-secret report of a government
commission that was requested to explore the consequences of lasting peace on
American society. The shocking results of the study, as revealed in this report, led
the government to conceal the existence of the commission–they had found that,
among other things, peace may never be possible; that even if it were, it would
probably be un-desirable, that “defending the national interest” is not the real
purpose of war; that war is necessary; that war deaths should be planned and
budgeted. Report From Iron Mountain tells the story of how the project was
formed, how it operated, What happened to it. It includes the complete verbatim
text of the commission’s hitherto classified report.
“. . . so elaborate and ingenious and so substantively original, acute, interesting
and horrifying, that it will receive serious attention regardless of its origin.”
–The New York Times
“The first major result of the transformation of the war game into the peace
game.”
–Irving Louis Horowitz, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists
“Should be the occasion for new public demand for a penetrating examination
and evaluation of government reports on strategic planning for disarmament and
peace.”
–The Editors of Trans-action
