“At this time (after thousands of years of invention and discovery) when real Scarcity has at last been vanquished, we are maintaining artificial Scarcity because of sheer ignorance. Technologically, the people on board Spaceship Earth are all billionaires who are entirely unaware of their good fortune. Unbeknownst to them, their legacy is being held in probate by general ignorance, fear and greed.” Buckminster Fuller
I’m no economist but since very young, I have observed how (money) Scarcity brings out the worst in us. My empathic and INTJ inclinations tend to focus me on the root causes for the mess our world is in. A lot is new but as I explore how our biggest challenges are because Business-as-usual has us perpetuating artificial Scarcity for an incredibly toxic way of life, I share my observations to help you connect systemic dots for context. Hyperlinks and links are included to assist you with your self-discoveries.
Almost eight billion of us create the infrastructure we depend on. But by idolizing people we’ve never met, are you fueling a culture of artificial Scarcity that honors and celebrates people that take the most from us? With that, have you enabled Big Business/Big Everything to control your/our behavior?
Artificial Scarcity can make anything ‘valuable’ because the notion of ‘success’ is tied to the accumulation of whatever we perceive to be of value. With our survival and/or ego at stake, artificial Scarcity then primes us to want to win at all costs. Money is a social construct but as we scramble after it to pay bills, Business-as-usual has us abiding by their ‘I win, you lose’ rules. With no higher god than growth, transnational corporations (TNCs) already own most of our basic necessities.
Although they are anything but, economists call TNCs natural monopolies.
“One of the strangest features of previous studies of naked-ape behaviour is that they have nearly always avoided the obvious. The earlier anthropologists rushed off to all kinds of unlikely corners of the world in order to unravel the basic truth about our nature scattering to remote cultural backwaters so atypical and unsuccessful that they are nearly extinct. They then returned with startling facts about the bizarre mating customs, strange kinship systems, or weird ritual procedures of these tribes, and used this material as though it were of central importance to the behaviour of our species as a whole. The work done by these investigators was, of course, extremely interesting and most valuable in showing us what can happen when a group of naked apes becomes side-tracked into a cultural blind alley. It revealed just how far from the normal our behaviour patterns can stray without a complete social collapse.” The Naked Ape
But ‘clock’ behavior is exactly how this paradigm of Nonsense molds and drills us on self-preservation. Has artificial Scarcity so disconnected us that you miss the obvious? Of how human beings are the world’s most valuable resource.
Money (currency) conveniently serves these key functions:
- Store of value (accumulate to transact goods and services later)
- Transfer of value (buy and sell goods and services and pay debts/taxes),
(When someone sells you something, are you not transferring your value to him/her? If so, hasn’t our way of life been weaponized by money/currency?) and
- The most critical, psychologically as a numeric unit of account (common measure for goods and services to be exchanged) so whoever has the most money and power can very easily control and manipulate you — e.g. rewarding (giving money) or punishing (taking away).
Everyone’s gifted differently but by becoming a money-chasing machine, have you given away your real value? Weaned on self-preservation, is that how money has systemically been standardizing us as “Machine men with machine minds and machine hearts?”
The Age of Nonsense is one of utter waste because it is not natural for humans to want to win at all costs or to be a money-making machine. Most of all, why must success be based on exploiting others for one’s benefit?
Systemic blindness
“Every system is perfectly designed to get the results it gets.” W.E. Demming
Adam Winkler, a professor at the UCLA School of Law, has painstakingly explained how ‘Corporations are people’ is built on an incredible 19th century lie but today, our man-made world is legally more tailored for corporate persons (business entities) than human beings.
In Unequal Protection: How Corporations Became “People” — And How You Can Fight Back, Thom Hartmann details how a ‘court reporter’ made up the 19th century lie as that was actually against what the court had decided.
Despite all the news about the demise of the US$, the US is still our world’s ‘only real superpower.’ Everything we depend on, particularly since World War II, is built on/evolved from that model as that 19th century lie has embedded itself into our lives as the world’s dumbest idea.
A business model is the way a business entity captures our value — creating products and services to sell for a profit. Programmed to have no greater god than growth, business entities without a viable business model do not last for long.
So, hidden in plain sight, the business model paradigm anchors how our man-made world and our behavior is centrally managed as artificial Scarcity has us systemically self-perpetuating Nonsense.
“It works something like this. A group of executives and investors start a company. Rather than build a business the old fashioned way, company profits are pumped up with government legislation, contracts, regulation, financing, subsidies and/or enforcement. This dramatically increases the value of the company’s financial equity. The company and its initial investors then sell their stock at a profit. Such profits replenish contributions made to the kind of politicians who can arrange such government benefits. Such profits also fund philanthropy to foundations and universities that have large endowments that invest alongside the investors. These tax-exempt organizations provide graduates to staff positions in the game, intellectual justification to attract popular support and photo opportunities which bestow legitimacy and social stature. Personnel cycle through the management and boards of business, government and academia, as the real economy declines — the environment deteriorates, productivity falls, income and infrastructure decline — and government deficits grow.” Catherine Austin Fitts
Very broadly, isn’t below how corporate persons ruthlessly compete to build their empires (initially with our time and money but increasingly, also with our data) while we co-create and pay for their services/products?
In The Ponzi Factor, Tan Liu observes how people have a tendency to rationalize and ignore the obvious when it goes against what they want to believe:
“The stock market is similar to a Ponzi scheme because it is a system where the current investors’ profits are dependent on the inflow of cash from new investors. The myth is, profits from stocks come from the earnings and growth of the underlying company. The reality is, profits from buying and selling stocks come from other investors who are buying and selling stocks. When one investor buys low and sells high, another investor is also buying high and needs to sell for even higher. The truth really is just that simple. But, some of you might be thinking, “But stocks are ownership instruments, some stocks pay dividends, some companies buy back shares, people have made money, etc.” I’m familiar with those ideas because I used to work in finance and defended the legitimacy of the stock market with those same textbook responses. But then, I thought about it for many years at very deep levels — researched the history of stocks, studied S.E.C. filings — and realized that there is a massive difference between the textbook ideas from school and what actually happens in practice.”
Unaware how this weaponizes us to extract money from one another, our self-preservation habits are then systemically folded into creating ‘a company bucks economy’ that has us surrendering our power to the same (invisible) owners of the business entities most ‘successful’ at extracting our individual value as fuel.
Propelled by the dynamics of what we each do to survive, the more the humans, and the more the transactions, the better for the global rent-seeking TNCs. For their owners, it is abundance. But in a world more legally tailored for corporate persons, the more the humans, the lesser our value (monetized through currency) and the greater our competition. For most of us, artificial Scarcity wrecks havoc as toxicity becomes our only way of life.
With exponential population growth after World War II and corporations competing to increasingly take over our predecessors’ means of survival, the top-down system they depended on also began to morph into a massive global rent-seeking machine:
“The real estate, financial system, monopolies, and other rent-extracting ‘tollbooth’ privileges are not valued in terms of their contribution to production or living standards, but by how much they can extract from the economy. By classical definition, these rentier payments are not technologically necessary for production, distribution, and consumption. They are not investments in the economy’s productive capacity, but extraction from the surplus it produces.” Michael Hudson
Catherine Austin Fitts calls this cannibalism, Tapeworm economics.
Artificial Scarcity and the corporate takeover of our lives
“The most common ego identifications have to do with … relationships, personal and family history, belief systems, and often also political, nationalistic, racial, religious, and other collective identifications. None of these is you.” Eckhart Tolle
Early last century, when the world’s two largest population groups were farmers and live-in servants, Henry Ford created the factory-scale assembly line model, building on Frederick Winslow Taylor’s simplistic ‘scientific management theory’ to try to increase the work rate and eventually, to reduce wages. That has always been at the core of management science.
By breaking the assembly of the Model T Ford into the simplest repeatable activities any unskilled immigrant could do, Ford removed the need to think and turned work into a rote task. The less human the workers and the more they resembled machines, the better Ford’s system worked. (Today, you are a cyborg if you become an extension of machines, but I digress).
As with anything new, Ford had to create the market for the Model T Ford.
He did this by paying sufficiently large sums so a middle class (made up of employees) could emerge to buy the products they were making. But before using money to entice, Ford first instilled psychological control and had advisers conduct home visits, check bank deposits and even monitor the workers’ children’s school attendance.
Then based on this simple concept of paying people to buy the services they co-create, Ford possibly enabled modern-day capitalism to systemically go mainstream, soon after the creation of the Fed.
In Truth Can Set Us Free, Justin Thyme shares:
“The Federal Reserve Act (Banking) was passed by Congress in 1913 when most members of Congress were home for the Xmas break. The Act made legal the practice of fractional banking for only the major banks. It made fractional banking illegal for the banks which are not part of the 10 generation banking conspiracy. Fractional banking allows approximately $100,000.00 to be loaned out on the strength of an un-associated deposit of $10,000.00 provided each loan diminishes and the first one was less than $10,000.00. Taking into account the interest etc., it amounts to about 26 loans off the one deposit. The private owners of this structure “The Federal Reserve Bank” are purported to include; Rothschilds, Morgans, Warburgs, Schiffs, Rockefellers, friends and connections. The sole purpose of their control is to extract the greatest possible profits from the rest of the population.”
Slightly over a century later, Fitts shares how for every dollar you deposit in the banks:
“they’re lending approximately one hundred and sixty three dollars for every dollar we deposit. So, if you have $100 in your checking account balance then multiply that times 163. That’s what the banks can lend with your deposits. The system is very, very leveraged and then their stocks. Let’s say: If they can lend one hundred and sixty three dollars on my hundred dollars, that’s sixteen thousand three hundred and they can get a fee on that of a hundred and sixty three dollars lending that. If there are a thousand people in my neighborhood who bank with them, that’s a hundred and sixty three thousand dollars they’re making every year. If their stock is trading at twenty times earnings, that’s three point three million dollars that their investors are making just from our little bank accounts.”
Interestingly, Prof Richard Werner seems to echo Tan Liu as he shares that what a bank does is very different from what it presents to the public. Also why the whole Basel capital approach doesn’t work as that’s premised on banks being just financial intermediaries. He explains that because banks are the creators of the money supply, this leads to boom-and-bust cycles. (The reality of pump and dump?)
Today, central banks print money in their respective countries while their respective governments borrow from them to pay debts and fund operations. Globally, this has spawned a debt-based economy as governments run on ‘credit’ (debt) created by a banking monopoly of private central banks:
“It is actually not in the least surprising that nations are chronically in debt, governments have inadequate public resources, public services are underfunded and people are beset by mortgages and overdrafts. The reason for all this monetary scarcity and insolvency is that the financial system used by all national economies worldwide is actually founded on debt. To be direct and precise, modern money is created in parallel with debt.” Michael Rowbotham, The Grip of Death
An American congressman had recognized the problems with debt-based money and the private control of the American money supply. In 1913, Charles August Lindbergh Sr. published Banking, Currency, and the Money Trust. But shortly after the US Federal Reserve was founded, World War I broke out.
Four years later, Lindbergh Sr. released Why is Your Country at War? and included key points from his Congressional speech of July 5, 1916, alleging that the Money Trust created the privately-owned Federal Reserve banking system to maximize their own profits:
“There is a sinister influence at work in our country, which, if it is not checked, intends to completely undermine the original purpose of the formation of our Government — change it from the purposes of a democracy, and instead make it of a monarchical and plutocratic system, and to bring all the world into one control and one system, which for purposes of deception of the plain people, they would call a “world’s democracy,” but which in fact it is their plan to make the rule of the wealth grabbers, maintained by simple organization of themselves and disorganization of the masses pitting the masses against each other. It would be the privilege of a few to rule in splendor, and the fate of the many to spend their lives in unrequited toil and that hopeless condition of servitude which millions came here to escape from. The few now desire to cut off every possible avenue of escape from industrial slavery for the masses.”
Atop this monopolistic network sits the Bank of International Settlements (BIS), the ‘central bank of central banks.’ Founded in Basel, Switzerland in 1930, originally to administer or “settle” the World War I reparations imposed on Germany under the Treaty of Versailles, the largely unknown BIS has been called “the most exclusive, secretive, and powerful supranational club in the world.”
According to Eric Helleiner, the financial markets started becoming a global casino in the 1920’s:
“With the creation of the Euromarket, bankers in both countries [United States and Britain] ambled on a solution to the problem of how to reconstruct the London-New York financial axis that had been prominent in the 1920s.”
In Tragedy and hope: A history of the world in our time, Professor Carroll Quigley describes how the covert global rent-seeking system we depend on gradually took shape:
“The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world’s central banks which were themselves private corporations. The key to their success, was that the international bankers would control and manipulate the money system of a nation while letting it appear to be controlled by the government.”
Ruled by numbers
“… global financial markets and global corporations are programmed to destroy life — the lives of working people, the life of community, and the living wealth of the planet — to make money for the already wealthy. And they do it with extraordinary efficiency.” David Korten
Circa 1934, the 1971 Nobel Memorial Prize laureate Simon Kuznets presented the modern concept of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to the US Congress. However, it was only after the 1944 Bretton Woods Conference (formally known as the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference where 730 delegates from all 44 Allied nations gathered at the Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, United States to regulate the international monetary and financial order after the end of World War II) that GDP gradually became the main tool for measuring a country’s economy.
World War II was crucial to its political acceptance as indicators of national development and progress. Once war reconstruction began, GDP enabled salaries to be institutionalized globally and our predecessors to become numbers-chasing machines.
“Gross domestic product (GDP) is the most powerful statistical figure in human history. No other indicator has ever had such an impact. At first glance, GDP is simply the measure of a country’s economic output, the value of all goods and services produced in a specific period, expressed as a number. However, GDP is far more than a mere statistic. Together with growth, which describes its rate of change, GDP serves as the key indicator of development and progress.” Philipp Lepenies
By the mid-twentieth century, it was the most powerful Business-as-usual metric. The US Commerce Department even hailed GDP as ‘one of the great inventions’ of the last century.
John Kenneth Galbraith, the late Harvard economics professor, provides this systemic insight:
Twenty-three years after the Bretton Woods Conference, he published The New Industrial State to share how capitalism had shifted from a market society to a hierarchical “industrial system” owned by a cartel of corporations he called the “technostructure.”
More than half a century ago, Galbraith had observed that instead of being markets-driven ground-up, the economy was organizations-driven, top-down. Dominated by large industrial firms controlling around two-thirds of output in key sectors of the economy then, he saw how a global elite was usurping markets, fixing prices and controlling demand for long-term production planning.
Galbraith had further disdained the scientific pretensions and formal apparatus of modern economics, believing all that math and numbers-crunching missed the point. He was also known to have quipped:
“Under capitalism, man exploits man. Under communism, it’s just the opposite.”
In 2011, three systems theorists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology released a report that concurs:
“We find that transnational corporations form a giant bow-tie structure and that a large portion of control flows to a small tightly-knit core of financial institutions.This core can be seen as an economic ‘super-entity’ that raises new important issues both for researches and policy makers.”
Adam Tooze, author of Crashed: How a Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World, affirms:
“The financial system does not, in fact, consist of ‘national monetary flows.’ Nor is it made up of a mass of tiny, anonymous, microscopic firms — the ideal of ‘perfect competition’ and the economic analogue to the individual citizen. The overwhelming majority of private credit creation is done by a tightly-knit corporate oligarchy. … At a global level twenty to thirty banks matter.”
Primarily because of two survival trends post World War II, the financial sector’s two biggest cash cows have been pensions and the housing market: Baby boomers made up the largest tax base while property investments enabled the layperson to make more than his/her salary.
In the last few decades, that also co-opted many in the developed world into the opaque debt quagmire, into what Stephen Lendman has called a casino culture of anything goes:
“When corporate bosses ask financial executives how profits look in any quarter, they, in turn, ask how much do you want, then manipulate things to oblige when told.”
With our world economy centrally managed and manipulated by debt, the costs of living also keep escalating with ever-increasing population. While ideal for the most ruthless corporate persons with no greater god than growth, that’s mega stressful for most humans. As early as in August 2015, Lendman had warned of a $1.5 quadrillion (that’s 1,500 trillion) global derivatives time bomb.
But with money scarcity fixating you on self-preservation, this focuses you relentlessly on numbers and to do whatever you are incentivized to do. Paid enough, ‘experts’ can be bought — saying whatever corporate persons want them to say and doing whatever corporate persons want them to do even if that doesn’t work for humanity. Very broadly, isn’t this way of life why trust is systemically broken?
By paying people to buy the services they co-create, self-preservation is baked into the business model. This very simple mode of control renders many systemically blind, unaware that we are weaponized against one another:
“Never expect someone to understand change when their livelihood depends on not understanding it.” Upton Sinclair
Artificial Scarcity blind spots: Harming humanity and planet
According to Russell L. Ackoff, a pioneer in the field of operations research, systems thinking and management science, “The characteristic way of management that we have [been] taught … [ is to] take a complex system, divide it into [clock] parts and then try to manage each part as well as possible. And if that’s done, the system as a whole will behave well. That’s absolutely false, because it’s possible to improve the performance of each part taken separately and destroy the system at the same time.”
By the time you were born, the water we swim in has become one more legally tailored for corporate persons than humans. Business entities are now in charge of dispensing salaries/fees to have you pay for what we all co-create. You’re just doing your job but this Business-as-usual logic never left Ford’s factory assembly line.
With no higher god than growth, business entities then pay the least possible to make as much profit as possible for their key owners. With technology, they have been able to gradually monetize-to-own the four main economic finite resources for production:
- Land or naturally occurring resources like forests or minerals
- Labor or all forms of human input
- Capital or inputs into production like factories and machines
- Entrepreneurship, the human resources that take risks and innovate to bring together land, labor and capital to secure production.
It’s how they maximize profits, outsourcing their risks while extracting to reap all the (financial) benefits.
Decentralized or distributed, for-profit or not-for-profit, corporate persons now come in all shapes, sizes and hues. Once an organization has a pre-determined solution, their key players will not be open to new ideas as they have Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to meet. (Remember The Naked Ape quote above?) In a paradigm where we need money to be sustained, isn’t exploitation par for course as key funders dictate what you do to survive/get ahead?
If you’re not paying for it, you are the product being sold
“The role of humans as the most important factor of production is bound to diminish in the same way that the role of horses … was first diminished and then eliminated.” Wassily Leontief, 1983
In the ‘company bucks economy’ skewed for the select few, the business model of artificial Scarcity never left the factory floors. Big Data is the digital offspring of Frederick Winslow Taylor’s ‘scientific management theory.’ But when ‘experts’ try to apply formulaic business-as-usual logic, they end up creating more problems.
Hence, the technological push for decentralized and distributed solutions now, with the status quo pretty much intact. In case you have not noticed, corporate persons are already decentralized and distributed.
But the hardest thing is to unlearn past successes so many keep trying to solve problems by habitually breaking everything apart to study the different [clock] parts in silo. To “Move fast and break things” because that’s where the money is and the only formula they know to survive.
Once data becomes the future of (no) money, that shift will likely go from how a corporate person with Big Data extracts value from all of us to having as much power as possible over us.
Data has made obvious how money has us surrender our real value to Business-as-usual entities with no greater god than growth. Is that why there is so much chaos now? To bury how data is a mere change of form for money and to retain the status quo of extraction and control??
Since humans providing the labor are considered the least important part of the rent-seeking machine, once automation/ robotics/AI replace most of our jobs, Ford’s model of paying workers a decent salary will likely go the way of dinosaurs. As we become the surplus element of production, or to quote Shoshana Zuboff: “You are not the product, you are the abandoned carcass,” the latest Business-as-usual Gold Rush is towards herding us into the Age of Surveillance (aka surveillance capitalism) as Wetware turns humans into technology.
The World Economic Forum spins that as the Fourth Industrial Revolution but do you see how these three Business-as-usual revolutions signal humans to reorganize society?
At the second Earth Summit (the UN Conference on Environment and Development) in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, the United Nations (UN) had launched Agenda 21 (since evolved as Agenda 2030) as a “comprehensive blueprint for the reorganization of human society.”
Can The New Digital Age: Transforming Nations, Businesses, and Our Lives be how Google’s Eric Schmidt wants fellow technocrats to take up the baton for reorganizing human society?
In a paradigm where trust is systemically broken, China’s Social Credit system will be mandatory in 2020. By monitoring its citizens’ social behavior — from their spending habits and how regularly they pay their bills, to their social interactions — this citizen’s score will be the basis of how a person’s trustworthiness is publicly ranked.
In the latest Business-as-usual Gold Rush for our data, wouldn’t humans ultimately just become ‘things’ in the Internet of Things? Plugged in, monitored, recorded, analyzed but still divided on the road to a new world order of surveillance as we become the Global Brain?
Why let a 19th century legal fiction dictate the way we live?
Business-as-usual — especially where corporations own corporations which own corporations ad infinitum has already concentrated wealth, income and power into fewer and fewer hands.
There is no technical solution to the problems we face because our way of life is systemically wrapped around a business model that legally allows corporate persons with no greater god than growth to keep extracting our value globally.
Meanwhile, artificial Scarcity keeps bringing out the worst in us.
As long as we’re stuck in this paradigm of Nonsense, all the solutions will likely augment this rent-seeking machine as that’s the only way of life you know. As money becomes Big Data and new technologies replace humans, wouldn’t the latest transition take us from the world’s dumbest idea to the world’s most dangerous idea? Read Social movements powering the future of money to further explore the root cause of how we have unwittingly created our man-made world the way it is today, why life as we know it is ending and how universal basic income may be bridging this shift.
We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking used to create them. Bucky’s quote once again:
“At this time (after thousands of years of invention and discovery) when real Scarcity has at last been vanquished, we are maintaining artificial Scarcity because of sheer ignorance. Technologically, the people on board Spaceship Earth are all billionaires who are entirely unaware of their good fortune. Unbeknownst to them, their legacy is being held in probate by general ignorance, fear and greed.”
21st century feudalism ahead?
Feudalism is defined as “the dominant social system in medieval Europe, in which the nobility held lands from the Crown in exchange for military service, and vassals were in turn tenants of the nobles, while the peasants were obliged to live on their lord’s land and give him homage, labor, and a share of the produce, notionally in exchange for military protection.”
In 2017, Peter Temin, an MIT economist warned the US has regressed to developing nation status. For a taste of the homeless problem in LA.
Amidst everything being sold as empowerment, ID2020 Alliance was formally launched in June 2017. With initial funding from the Rockefeller Foundation ($275,000), Accenture ($1m) and subsequently, a ($1m) donation from Microsoft, it supports the UN Sustainable Development Goal to “provide legal identity to all, including birth registration, by 2030.”
Using a Blockchain-based identity prototype run on Microsoft’s Azure cloud computing platform, the alliance aims to fill the void of identity documentation globally through a growing consortium of international NGOs, private companies and UN agencies advocating how identity is to be a human right where individuals have “ownership” over their own identity.
Modeled on the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation (Gavi) blueprint, the ID2020 Alliance is spearheading a Business-as-usual drive to develop the standards and specifications for the ‘back-end’ identity exchange layer required for a global digital identity system.
David Rosen explains “’Privatization’ has become the new holy grail of corporate greed, promoted from prisons to schools to sports stadiums.”
A ‘Public Private Partnership’ is a type of contract under which private companies build and operate public services and infrastructure but the public is stuck with the consequences.
If so, the latest shift may potentially be into one where the UN will dictate and enforce standardizing what it means to be a sustainable human for the global rent-seekers — since the ultimate dream of domination is to have the dominated exploit one another.
In June 2019, a new corporate and governmental marriage quietly took place between the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the United Nations (UN). Harris Gleckman shares that their leaders signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to partner each other on the Strategic Partnership Framework for Agenda 2030.
Apparently, the agreement circumvented the intergovernmental review process while elevating multi-stakeholderism as the solution to the problems with the current multilateral system. Not governed by any formal democratic system, they have declared that multi-stakeholder groups are a better governance system than a one-country-one-vote system:
“All multi-stakeholder governance groups are largely composed of a self-selected group of multinational corporations and those organizations and individuals that they want to work with. They work without any common internal rule book to protect the views of all who might be impacted by the group. Participation in multi-stakeholder group is a voluntary undertaking. The drop-in-drop-out arrangements are antithetical to the UN’s efforts for 75 years to build a stable secure global governance system with a clear understanding of obligations, responsibilities and liabilities.
What is surprising is that by accepting this marriage arrangement with the WEF, the Secretary-General of the UN is marginalizing the intergovernmental system in order to ‘save’ it.”
Is that why despite huge public outcry over the health and security issues from the use of new technologies and Electromagnetic field (EMF) scientists resubmitting their appeal to the UN, 5G is still being thrust at us? By 2020, everything — what you dream, the thought you think, the path you walk, the appliances you use and the products you buy — will begin to be connected to the Blockchain-based Internet of Things (IoT) via 5G.
The IoT’s the Internet, with trillions of new, smart devices attached. Anything that can be connected will be plugged in to transmit data so machine learning algorithms (AI) can analyze Big Data and gain insight for both old and new middlemen. Correspondingly, anyone with a wireless-enabled device can be data-mined, hacked and/or exposed to EMF radiation. Because of potential EMF risks, most insurance companies do not cover health damage caused by wireless technologies.
As 5G evolves us into a Global Brain, life as you know it will be totally transformed — a future with no money, no trust, no ownership, no work i.e. one where most of us will likely have no value and zero control.
Business-NOT-as-usual, anyone?
That starts with you rediscovering your real value … since that’s what we each have in abundance:
“Each of us has the perfect gift to give the world … if we are able to each give what’s so uniquely ours — won’t we be able to create magic for and with each other?”
But based on more of the same, that’s also the latest Business-as-usual Gold Rush.
So, rather than focus on self-preservation within national borders, shouldn’t the 19th century lie be addressed globally so our world is more legally tailored for human beings than corporate persons?
IF this resonates and you would like to kickstart the shift to True Abundance for a truly empowered world that works for everyone, please sign this petition to start generating awareness of how we may co-create a world where strangers anywhere can build trust with anyone.
In a world with almost 8 billion of us, are there 100,000 strangers willing to kickstart the shift, walking your talk? Don’t forget to discover your real value in the process!!
