"American
economic hegemony has generated enormous hostility to an
American dominated process of
globalization, frequently on the part of
close democratic allies who thought America was
seeking to impose its antistatist
social model on them."- Francis
Fukuyama
"Nearly 70% of world trade is controlled by just 500
corporations.
1% of all
multinationals own half the total stock of foreign direct investment.
Across the globe corporations
obey the implacable logic of
capital by creating barriers to
entry, stifling local economies, and
racing to liquidate finite
resources. " - Donald O. Mayer
"Edward Abbey once said that "an economic system that can only expand or
expire must be false to all that is
human." Some part of
society must soon step up and
begin to figure out how to
end "progress", if not
reverse it, until 'The World' reaches
a steady state of ecological
sustainability." - Fred S. Barker
1921
£ritish and $merican elite academics get together with
major international banking interests to form two "sister institutes" called
the Royal Institute of International Affairs (RIIA) in London, now known
as Chatham House, and the Council on Foreign Relations in
the US.
Subsequently related think tanks are
amalgamated in Canada, such
as the Canadian Institute of International Affairs, now Canadian
International Council (CIC).
Other affiliated
think tanks begin
psych☣l☣gical ☣perati☣ns in
South Africa,
India,
Australia and, finally, in the
future European Union with the formation of the European Council on
Foreign Relations.
Following World
War I these powers seek the creation a New World Order.
Woodrow Wilson proclaims the right to
"national self-determination" reshaping
the Ottoman Empire into
nation-states throughout the Levant.
Iraq,
Saudi Arabia,
Jordan,
Lebanon,
Syria,
Kuwait are partitioned in
WWI.
Proclaiming a right to "self-determination" for
people everywhere became means of
constructing nation-state power structures
to exert hegemony.
To control masses of people,
one must construct institutions of
control.
On the heals of World
War II, America became the
global hegemon.
Imperial impetus provided by
the strategic concept of
"containment" to
stop
the spread of a phantom menace named communism (community).
American imperial adventures in
Korea, the
Middle East,
Africa,
Asia and
South America became defined by
the desire to wall in, wall out or
otherwise encompass and "roll back"
the influence of Soviet Union
communism.
Council on
Foreign Relations originates
the idea of containment as the
defining central feature of United
States foreign policy to sell
more weapons.
Following World
War II, Harry Dexter White
made America responsible for managing the international monetary system and
global political economy through the creation of global institutions and
agreements such as the World
Bank, International
Monetary Fund, NATO, United Nations, and GATT.
1951 Treaty of Paris signed by Belgium, France, Italy,
Luxembourg, the Netherlands and West Germany formally establishes the
European Coal and Steel Community.
1952
European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) declares itself to be "a first
step in the federation of Europe."
The ECSC was overseen by four
institutions:
a High Authority composed of independent appointees;
a Common Assembly composed of national parliamentarians;
a
Special Council composed of national ministers;
and a Court of Justice.
These form the blueprint for the European Commission,
European Parliament, Council of the European Union and
European Court of Justice.
1954
One central power
institution that was significant in
establishing consensus among Western elites and providing a forum for
expanding global banker hegemony
is the Bilderberg Group.
1957
Belgium, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and West
Germany sign the Treaty of Rome creating the European Economic
Community (EEC) with the establishment of a customs
union.
1972
Zbigniew
Kazimierz Brzezinski and David Rockefeller, first
present the idea of a "New World
Order" built upon idea of global
governance under the direction of
transnational elites at the
annual Bilderberg Group meeting.
David Rockefeller
is Chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations and CEO of
Chase Manhattan Bank.
1973 Zbigniew Kazimierz Brzezinski and
David Rockefeller forge
the Trilateral Commission, a
sister to the Bilderberg Group, with cross-over membership, to bring
Japan into the western sphere of
economic integration.
1975 The Trilateral
Commission publishes a Task Force Report labeled, "The Crisis of
Democracy, of which one of the principal authors is
Samuel Phillips Huntington, a
close associate of Zbigniew Kazimierz
Brzezinski.
Samuel Phillips
Huntington, analyzing this "democratic surge," showed that throughout the
1960s and into the early 1970s there was a dramatic increase in the percentage
of people who felt military spending was too high.
From 18% in 1960 to
52% in 1969, largely due to the Vietnam
War.
People were
becoming politically aware of empire and exploitation.
Samuel Phillips Huntington
concluded that many problems
of governance in the US stemmed from an "excess of democracy," and that,
"the effective operation of a democratic
political system usually requires some measure of apathy and
noninvolvement on the part of
some individuals and groups."
Huntington explained that
society has always had "marginal groups" which do not
participate in politics, and while acknowledging that the existence of "marginality on the part of
some groups is inherently undemocratic," it has also "enabled democracy to function
effectively."
Huntington identified "Blacks"
as one such group that had become politically active, posing a "danger of overloading the political system
with demands."
"Following the collapse of the Soviet Union in
1991, American ideologues "politicians and academics" began discussing the
idea of the emergence of a "New
World Order" with power centralized in the
US.
This laid the basis for an expansion of elitist ideology
pertaining to the notion of "globalization": that
power and power structures
should be globalized.
The "New
World Order" was to be a global
order of global governance.
The US was to be the central and primary
actor in constructing a new world order
and global government." - Andrew Gavin Marshall
"Persisting social crisis,
the emergence of a charismatic
personality, and the exploitation of
c✡rp✡rate media to obtain public confidence would be the
steppingstones in the
transformation of the
US into a closed
society.
Domination
by an elite with allegedly
superior scientific know-how.
Unhindered by
the restraints of traditional
liberal values, this elite would
not hesitate to achieve political ends
by using the latest modern
techniques for influencing public consciousness while
keeping society under
surveillance.
Under such
circumstances, the scientific and technological
momentum of the country would not be reversed but
would actually feed on the
situation.
Traditionally
democratic society could,
due to fascination with
technical efficiency, become an extremely controlled
society; humane individualistic
qualities would thereby be lost." -
Zbigniew Kazimierz
Brzezinski
"The
Technological Revolution has allowed
elites to redirect society in
ways never before imagined, culminating in
a global scientific
dictatorship.
The potential
for controlling the masses has never been so great, as science unleashes
the power of genetics, biometrics,
surveillance, and
new forms of modern eugenics;
implemented by a scientific
elite equipped with systems of psycho-social
control ." - Andrew Gavin Marshall
2005 Zbigniew Kazimierz
Brzezinski writes an essay for The American Interest labeled, "The
Dilemma of the Last Sovereign," in which he explains the geopolitical
landscape that America and the world find themselves in:
"For most states, sovereignty now verges on
being a legal fiction."
2009 Zbigniew
Kazimierz Brzezinski publishes an article based on a speech he delivered to the
London-based Chatham House in their academic journal, International
Affairs.
Chatham House, formerly the Royal Institute of
International Relations, is the British counterpart to the US-based
Council on Foreign Relations.
His article, "Major foreign
policy challenges for the next US President" aptly analyzes the major
geopolitical challenges for the Obama administration in
leading the global corporate state at
this critical juncture.
Zbigniew Kazimierz Brzezinski refers to the
"global political awakening" as
"a truly transformative event on the global
scene:"
"For the first time in human history
almost all of humanity is
politically activated, politically conscious and
politically interactive.
There are only a few pockets of
humanity left in the remotest
corners of the world that are
not politically
alert and engaged with the
political turmoil.
The resulting
global political activism is
generating a surge in the quest for
personal dignity, cultural respect
and economic opportunity in a
world painfully scarred by memories of
centuries-long alien imperial domination.
The
worldwide yearning for human
dignity is the central challenge inherent in the
phenomenon of global
political awakening." - Zbigniew Brzezinski
unregulated
trade
Globalization has built
interdependent systems to deliver
I, Pencil.
A disaster environmentally,
a disaster socially,
a disaster for small farmers.
It is a giveaway of
sovereign power to bureaucracies and
loan brokers.
The only way order can be
maintained is through oppressive means.
The founding premises of
unregulated trade is participating nation states will not engage in armed
conflict, an opium pipe dream of
global merchants.
Black magic economists claim
unfettered global corporatism
exports lowbrow jobs while
retaining high paying creative skills.
That is a utopian dream.
Creative work is far easier
to outsource than manufacturing !
To remain
globally competitive the
investment bankers require
environmental destruction,
austerity and a
drastically lowered standard of
living.
Interdependent networks,
critical infrastructure
electricity grid, are
vulnerable to the
unintended consequences of
interdependence.
If one "domino"
falls a cascading "dominos" may fall in every direction
Distributed energy production with
lots of small generating plants, rooftop solar and a myrad of passive systems
could make a tremendous difference.
"China's steady growth in oil
demand has led it to become the world's largest net oil importer, exceeding
the US in September 2013. EIA forecasts this trend to continue through 2014." -
Energy Information Administration
2011
China harvests the largest
grain crop of any country in history.
Chinese eat 84 lb of pork a year,
while Americans average 59 lb.
Smithfield Foods shareholders approve Chinese
purchase
Coal consumption in
China grows more than 9%.
China accounts for 47% of global coal consumption.
200% increase
in Chinese electric generation
since 2000 lead by coal demand.
Facing
the consequences of
overgrazing of Icelandic grassland
herders agreed to value the
commons and reduce sheep to a
sustainable level.
Early
Sumerian civilization carefully engineered irrigation system gave rise to
highly productive agriculture enabling farmers to produce a food
surplus.
Abundant food
built the cities of Ugarit and
Babylon and the
Pyramids.
Without careful stewardship of
irrigation systems land productivity declines.
When
salts accumulate
wheat yields decline and
corn can no longer be
grown.
Robert McCormick Adams describes the "sparse vegetation,
tangled dunes, long disused canal levees, rubble-strewn mounds" on the
central flood plain of the Euphrates
River desolate heart of one of the oldest literate civilizations.
The fate of all the peoples of
Earth is to face global environmental
decline.
Environmental limitations have been
exceeded far beyond safe limits.
Environmental costs are
externalized.
Ecosystem decline is ignored.
A dysfunctional global
economy is shaped by distorted market prices
rules.

outside personal experience has forged a populace unable to
discern propaganda from
Яeality and that this has been done purposefully by an
internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartel through their agents who wish
to foist a corrupt Ѵersion of Яeality on the human race.
Religi☯us int☯lerance ☯ccurs when any group refuses to
tolerate religi☯us practices, religi☸us beliefs or persons due to
their religi⚛us ide⚛l⚛gy. This web site marks the founding of
a system of philºsºphy nªmed the Mŷsterŷ of the
Lumière Infinie - a ra☨ional gnos☨ic mys☨ery
re☦igion based on reaso🐍 which requires no leap of faith, accepts
no tithes, has no supreme leader, no church buildings and in which each and
every individual is encouraged to develop a pers∞nal relati∞n with
Æ∞n through the pursuit of the knowλedge of reaλity in
the cu☮ing the spi☮itual co☮☮uption that has enveloped
the human spirit. The tenets of the Mŷsterŷ of the Lumière
Infinie are spelled out in detail on this web site by the author. Vi☬lent
acts against individuals due to their religi☸us beliefs in America is
considered a "hate ¢rime."
This web site in no way
c☬nd☬nes vi☬lence. To the contrary the intent here is to
reduce the vi☬lence that is already occurring due to the
internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartels desire to
c✡ntr✡l the human race. The internati☣nal
c☣rp☣rate cartel already controls the w☸rld
ec☸n☸mic system, c☸rp☸rate media w☸rldwide, the
global indus✈rial mili✈ary en✈er✈ainmen✈ complex
and is responsible for the coλλapse of moraλs, the eg●
w●rship behavior and the destruction of gl☭bal ec☭systems.
Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation with
bi☣hazards of a gun.
American social mores and values have
declined precipitously over the last century as the internati☣nal
c☣rp☣rate cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests
in the ability to deceive the p☠pulace in general through
c✡rp✡rate media by press☟ng em☠ti☠nal
butt☠ns which have been πreπrogrammed into the
πoπulation through prior c✡rp✡rate media psychological
operations. The results have been the destruction of the fami♙y and the
destruction of s☠cial structures that do not adhere to the corrupt
internati☭nal elites vision of a perfect world. Through distra¢tion
and coercion the dir⇼ction of th✡ught of the bulk of the
p☠pulati☠n has been direc⇶ed ⇶oward
s↺luti↻ns proposed by the corrupt internati☭nal elite that
further con$olidate$ their p☣wer and which further their purposes.
