Dossier is a periodical that supplies short and snappy biographical outlines of environmental scientists, economist, “experts” and activists and it is being released by the National Center for Public Policy Research. Jeremy Rifkin, founder and President of Foundation on Economic Trends (FOET) is one of those who fit in the descriptions of people they write about.

In one particular article, Dossier wrote about Jeremy Rifkin’s involvement as an activist in the 1960s and the 1970s where he served as the organizer of the 1968 March on the Pentagon; he was also the founder of the Citizens Commission in 1969 – a group whose aim is to call the public’s attention on the claimed U.S. war misdeeds done in Vietnam. He was also the man behind the institution of the anti-cultural People’s Bicentennial Commission that offered an option to U.S. government officials’ plans to celebrate the bicentennial.

This publication also referred to Jeremy Rifkin’s opposition to the budding of biotechnology like the genetic study that may possibly recommend treatments to illnesses like Sickle Cell Anemia, Alzheimer’s and others. He is actually apprehensive that if laws are not passed to control advancement in biotechnology, this industry might permit scientists to “play God” and produce in Nazi-type efforts to produce a master race. His advocacy against the consumption of beef as food, the Frosban and the production of oil-eating bacteria were also included in this article about him.
