In the world today, I think Scarism is right on target with the 1962 report called the Iron Mountain Report. I think Mr. Kissinger had a little hand in that one. Yeah, I think scarism is everything they needed it to be to bring a police state here to America.

So it's pretty impressive how this rock and roll caller is asked about what he thinks about the state of the world, and he quickly cites the report from Iron Mountain, which is a fake document. It was a satirical piece written by a guy named Leonard Lewin, meant to skewer how think tanks operate, and imagined a secret group who were tasked with figuring out what the downsides of a state of peace would be for the United States. Their ultimate conclusion was that peace is not good for the continuance of our system, particularly our economy, and thus it's not a desirable state to pursue. That's the document.

The document itself, the Iron Mountain document, was released in 1967, and in 1972, a man named Leonard Lewin came out and revealed that he had written that report, and it was meant as a work of political satire about how absurd think tanks are. Simply put, it was a hoax.
