The Town of Crestone is a Statutory Town (pop. 141 in 2020[1]) in Saguache County, Colorado, United States. The Crestone area is the location of some major deep state presence. From the 1970s, The Rockefeller protegé Maurice Strong built it up as an international religious crossroads by bringing two dozen different religious centers to the area.
History
Crestone is located in the northern San Luis Valley at the base of the Sango de Cristo Mountains. From the 1870s through the 1930s it was a mining town, and then a center for ranching.
Its identity underwent a dramatic change in 1977, when Maurice Strong, a Canadian deep state actor who has been a mouthpiece for the Rockefeller family from the 1950s onwards, and his wife, Hanne Marstrand Strong, purchased a large tract of land in the Crestone area.
In the late 1970’s, this land belonged to Arizona Land and Cattle Company (AZL), an agribusiness conglomerate that also owned a series of companies active in feedlots, land, oil and gas, engineering, commodities trading, and a bank. The principle AZL shareholder at that time was Adnan Kashoggi, the infamous deep state operative famous for his arms and drug dealing and money-laundering activities partially exposed during the Iran-Contra scandal.[2]
The Strongs decided to give free land to religious groups that agreed to establish centers there. To coordinate the program, they founded the Manitou Foundation. Through the years it received significant support from donors who included Laurance and Mary Rockefeller.[3]
A 1989 article notes: "The tiny Crestone phone book is riddled with such entries as "Crystal Sojourns" and "Ahimsa Life-style." It also includes some of the rich and famous the Strongs have brought to the area, including Robert O. Anderson, former chairman of Atlantic Richfield, and Najeeb E. Halaby, former head of Pan American Airways and father of the Queen of Jordan. Halaby has built a home and ziggurat--an ancient type of Assyrian temple--on land he bought from the Strongs near the sand dunes." [4]

Maurice Strong | “What if a small group of world leaders were to conclude that the principal risk to the Earth comes from the actions of the rich countries? And if the world is to survive, those rich countries would have to sign an agreement reducing their impact on the environment. Will they do it? The group’s conclusion is ‘no’. The rich countries won’t do it. They won’t change. So, in order to save the planet, the group decides: Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about? This group of world leaders form a secret society to bring about a world collapse. It’s February. They’re all at Davos. These aren’t terrorists – they’re world leaders. They have positioned themselves in the world’s commodity and stock markets. They’ve engineered, using their access to stock exchanges, and computers, and gold supplies, a panic. Then they prevent the markets from closing. They jam the gears. They have mercenaries who hold the rest of the world leaders at Davos as hostage. The markets can’t close. The rich countries…?” | Maurice Strong |
