| "The ethical
system which will dominate the world state, will be shaped primarily to favour
the procreation of what is fine and efficient and beautiful in humanity
[…] and to check the procreation of base and servile types, of fear-driven
and cowardly souls, of all that is mean and ugly and bestial in the souls,
bodies, or habits of men." - HG Wells, HG Wells and Population Control,
John S. Partington, Wells: 1902 |
"The ideology of globalization, like
all "inevitable" utopian visions,
is being exposed as a fraud.
The power elite,
perplexed and confused,
clings to the disastrous principles of
globalization and its outdated language to mask the looming political and
economic vacuum.
The absurd idea the
marketplace alone should determine economic and political constructs led
industrial nations to sacrifice other areas of critical importance – from
working conditions, to
taxation, to
child labor, to
hunger, to
health and pollution – on the
altar of free trade.
A handful of corporate oligarchs
around the globe have everything - wealth, power and privilege - and the
rest of us struggle as part of a vast underclass, increasingly impoverished and
ruthlessly repressed.
There is one set of laws and regulations for us;
there is another set of laws and regulations for
a power elite that functions as a global
mafia."
Christopher Lynn Hedges
"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
1921 British and American 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 known as
the Canadian International Council (CIC), and other affiliated
think tanks in
South Africa,
India,
Australia, and more recently in the
European Union with the formation of the European Council on Foreign
Relations.
Following World War I, these powers sought to reshape
the world order.
Woodrow Wilson proclaimed a right to
"national self-determination" which
shaped the formation of nation-states throughout the Middle East, which had
been dominated by the Ottoman Empire.
Proclaiming a right to "self-determination" for people
everywhere became a means of constructing nation-state power structures
to exert hegemony over.
To control people, one must
construct institutions of control.
Iraq,
Saudi Arabia,
Jordan,
Lebanon,
Syria,
Kuwait did not exist prior to World
War I.
Following
World War II, America became
the global hegemon, whose
imperial impetus was provided by the
strategic concept of "containment" in containing the spread of communism.
American imperial adventures in
Korea, the Middle East,
Africa, Asia and South America became defined by
the desire to "roll back" the influence of
the Soviet Union and communism.
Council on Foreign
Relations originated the idea of "containment" as a central feature of
foreign policy.
Following World War II, America
took upon itself the
responsibility for overseeing and managing the international monetary
system and global political economy through the creation of
institutions and
agreements such as the
World Bank, International Monetary
Fund, NATO, United Nations, and GATT.
One central power institution that was
significant in establishing consensus among Western elites and providing a
forum for expanding global western
hegemony was the Bilderberg Group, founded in 1954.
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
institute to the Bilderberg Group, with cross-over membership, to bring
Japan into the western sphere of
economic and political 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 stem 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 corporate media
to obtain public confidence would be the steppingstones in the
transformation of the
US into a closed society.
Such a society would be
dominated by an elite whose claim to political power would rest on allegedly
superior scientific know-how.
Unhindered by
the restraints of traditional
liberal values, this elite
would not hesitate to achieve its political ends
by using the latest modern
techniques for influencing the public consciousness and
keeping society under close
surveillance and control.
Under such circumstances,
the scientific and technological momentum of the country would not be reversed
but would actually feed on the situation.
The traditionally democratic American
society could, because of
its fascination with technical efficiency, become
an extremely controlled
society, and its humane and
individualistic qualities would thereby be lost." - Zbigniew Kazimierz
Brzezinski
"The
Technological Revolution has allowed elites to redirect and control society
in ways never before imagined, ultimately culminating in a global scientific
dictatorship, as many have warned of since the early decades of the 20th
century.
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
The
founding premises of unregulated trade is that it will
reduce the temptation of
participating nation states to engage in armed conflict, an
opium pipe dream of international
merchants.
There are too many emerging signs of discontent from
across the face of the Earth toward unfettered global
corporatism
Global free
trade black magic
economists claimed developed countries could
export lowbrow jobs while
retaining the high paying creative
skills.
But that is not what happens.
Creative work is easier to
outsource than manufacturing !
To remain
competitive on an Earth in which
billions of workers are paid one dollar a day and have absolutly no benefits,
and in which corporations need not worry about the
environmental destruction
of the Earth, requires Americans to
drastically lower their own standard
of living.
"People do
lose their jobs as a result of globalization,
and it's painful for those
who lose their job." - George Walker
Bush
"Unemployment makes people very unhappy." - Carol
Graham, Center on Social and Economic Dynamics,
Brookings Institute
Globalization has built interdependent systems spread across
the face of the Earth.
From food production to
financial transfers, the
electricity grid to the
internet, critical American infrastructures are linked to one another in an
interlocking web of connections.
Interdependent networks are
vulnerable to the
unintended consequences of
interdependence.
When one "domino"
falls a cascading set of "dominos" may fall in every direction.
As
an example take the interdependent electricity
grid.
Intelligent problem solving suggests
Americans encourage "distributed energy
production" which means having lots of small generating plants rather than a
few large plants.
This is one way to reduce the "domino" effect from
creating large scale power outages.
But then the corporate interests of
the transnational elites would no longer be able to control
resources.
China
is the leading consumer of
basic commodities.
"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
2005 America consumes 260 million
tons of grain while China consumes 380
million tons.
2011
China harvests the largest grain
crop of any country in history.
Chinese
eat an average of 84 lb (38
kilograms) of pork in a year, while Americans average 59 lb.
Smithfield Foods shareholders approve Chinese
purchase
Coal consumption in
China grows more than 9%.
China's coal use grew by 325 million tons accounting for 87% of the 374
million ton global increase in coal use.
Of the 2.9 billion tons of
global coal demand growth since 2000, China accounted for 2.3 billion tons
(82%).
China
accounts for 47% of global coal consumption - almost as much as the entire rest
of the world combined.
Robust coal demand growth in
China is the result of a more than
200% increase in Chinese electric
generation since 2000, fueled primarily by
coal.
China's coal demand
growth averaged 9% per year from 2000 to 2010, more than double the global
growth rate of 4% and significantly higher than global growth excluding
China, which averaged only
1%.
Six
centuries ago Icelanders realized that overgrazing on their
grass covered highlands was leading to extensive
soil loss from the inherently thin soils of the region.
Rather than
lose the grasslands and face
economic decline, farmers joined together to
determine how many sheep the highlands could sustain and then allocated quotas
among themselves, thus preserving their grasslands and avoiding a tragic loss in value of
the commons.
The
Icelanders understood the
consequences of overgrazing and reduced their sheep numbers to a level that
could be sustained.
The early Sumerian civilization of the fourth
millennium BC was an extraordinary one, advancing far beyond any that had
existed before.
Its carefully engineered irrigation system gave rise to
a highly productive agriculture, one that enabled farmers to produce a food
surplus, supporting formation of
the first cities.
Unfortunately there was a design flaw in the of
its irrigation system.
Salt accumulated and wheat
yields decline.
As land productivity declined, so did the
civilization.
Archeologist Robert McC. Adams
has studied the site of ancient Sumer on the
central flood plain of the
Euphrates River, an empty, desolate area now outside the frontiers of
cultivation.
He describes how the "tangled dunes, long disused canal
levees, and the rubble-strewn mounds of former settlement contribute only low,
featureless relief.
Vegetation is sparse, and in many areas it is
almost wholly absent.
Here lay the core, the heartland, the oldest
urban, literate civilization on Earth."
The
New World counterpart to Sumer is
the Mayan civilization that developed in the lowlands of what is now
Guatemala.
It
flourished from AD 250 until its collapse around AD 900.
Like the
Sumerians, the Mayans had developed a sophisticated, highly productive
agriculture.
As with Sumer, the Mayan demise was apparently linked to a
failing food supply related to
hydrology and climate change.
Today this region is covered by jungle,
reclaimed by nature.
One unanswerable question about these earlier
civilizations was whether they
knew what was causing their decline.
Did the Sumerians understand that
the rising salt content in the soil from water evaporation was reducing
their wheat yields?
If they
knew, were they simply unable to muster the political support needed to lower
water tables, just as the world today is struggling unsuccessfully to lower
carbon dioxide
emissions?
Early civilizations that
moved onto an environmentally unsustainable path did so largely in
isolation.
But the fate of
all the peoples of Earth are intertwined now as
we face global environmental
decline.
And the dysfunctional global
economy has been shaped by distorted market prices that do
not incorporate environmental costs.

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational
purposes only.
This website defines a
new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The
author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has
forged a populace unable to discern
propaganda from reality and that this has been done purposefully by an
international corporate cartel through their agents who wish to foist a corrupt
version of reality on the human race. Religious intolerance occurs when any
group refuses to tolerate religious practices, religious beliefs or persons due
to their religious ideology. This web site marks the founding of a system of
philosophy named The Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie - a
rational gnostic mystery religion based on reason 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 personal relation
with the Creator and Sustainer through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality
in the hope of curing the spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human
spirit. The tenets of The Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie are
spelled out in detail on this web site by the author. Violent acts against
individuals due to their religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate
crime."
This web site in no way condones violence. To the contrary the
intent here is to reduce the violence that is already occurring due to the
international corporate cartels desire to control the human race. The
international corporate cartel already controls the world economic system,
corporate media worldwide, the global industrial military entertainment complex
and is responsible for the collapse of morals, the elevation of self-centered
behavior and the destruction of global ecosystems. Civilization is based on
coöperation. Coöperation does not occur at the point of a
gun.
American social mores and values have declined precipitously over
the last century as the corrupt international cartel has garnered more and more
power. This power rests in the ability to deceive the populace in general
through corporate media by pressing emotional buttons which have been
preprogrammed into the population through prior corporate media psychological
operations. The results have been the destruction of the family and the
destruction of social structures that do not adhere to the corrupt
international elites vision of a
perfect world. Through distraction and coercion the direction of thought of
the bulk of the population has been directed toward solutions proposed by the
corrupt international elite that further consolidates their power and which
further their purposes.
