To The Global Elite The Math Is Simple: Human Overpopulation Is Causing Climate Change So The Solution To Climate Change Is Population Control
By Michael, on May 21st, 2010
Today there is headline after headline in the mainstream media about how dangerous "climate change" is and about how the world as we know it is going to end if we don't take dramatic steps to fight global warming. But what they don't tell you in the mainstream media is what the "final solution" for the problem of "climate change" that the global elite have come up with actually is. You see, for the global elite the math is simple. They believe that human overpopulation is causing climate change, and so the solution to climate change is population control. As bizarre as that sounds, that is what they actually believe. The truth is that they are convinced that climate change is going to literally destroy the earth and that the best way to fight climate change is to get rid of a whole bunch of us.
In fact, it is the official policy of the United Nations to fight climate change by promoting population control measures. They don't even try to camouflage it anymore. Last year the UNFPA (the United Nations Population Fund) released its annual State of the World Population Report entitled "Facing a Changing World: Women, Population and Climate", and in that document it was made clear that the official position of the UN is that the only way to avoid a major climate disaster is to dramatically increase "family planning" services around the globe and to do whatever is necessary to reduce worldwide fertility rates.
Check out just a few of the quotes about the link between overpopulation and climate change contained in the UNFPA report....
*"The importance of the speed and magnitude of recent population growth in boosting future greenhouse-gas emissions is well recognized among scientists, including the authors of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's reports."
*"Still, calculations of the contribution of population growth to emissions growth globally produce a consistent finding that most of past population growth has been responsible for between 40 per cent and 60 per cent of emissions growth."
*"Each birth results not only in the emissions attributable to that person in his or her lifetime, but also the emissions of all his or her descendents. Hence, the emissions savings from intended or planned births multiply with time."
*"No human is genuinely "carbon neutral," especially when all greenhouse gases are figured into the equation. Therefore, everyone is part of the problem, so everyone must be part of the solution in some way."
*"Strong family planning programmes are in the interests of all countries for greenhouse-gas concerns as well as for broader welfare concerns."
No human is genuinely carbon neutral?
That means by being alive, we are all part of the problem.
To the elite, we are viewed as "useless eaters" that have multiplied to the point where we are now wildly out of control and are threatening to destroy the earth with our toxic carbon emissions.
And don't think for a moment that the United Nations Population Fund is not a big time international organization.
They are active in virtually ever corner of the planet, they have the full backing of the United Nations, and thanks to Barack Obama they have 50 million U.S. taxpayer dollars with which to advance their eugenics agenda.
But it is not just the United Nations that is preoccupied with population control as a solution to global warming.
Bill Gates is absolutely obsessed with it.
In the video posted below, Bill Gates explains his belief that carbon emissions from humans are causing climate change, and that the only way to stop climate change is to reduce those carbon emissions to zero.
That is right.
While you watch the clip, notice how many times he emphasizes the need to bring these carbon emissions down to zero.
So how does he propose to do this?
Well, one of his suggestions is to slow the growth of the population.
And how will that be accomplished?
In the video Bill Gates tells us exactly what his solution is....
"The world today has 6.8 billion people. That's heading up to about nine billion. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent."
Now wait a minute - aren't vaccines supposed to keep people alive?
Wouldn't more vaccines actually increase the population?
Or does Bill Gates know something that we don't?
What Bill Gates has to say in this video is absolutely jaw dropping....
But of course Bill Gates is not the only one who is obsessed with climate change and population control.
In this next video, David Rockefeller explains how we are on the verge of a massive ecological disaster because there are too many people on the planet....
The truth is that while you and I may not give much thought to "overpopulation", the global elite are truly obsessed with it.
In fact, they even hold gatherings where they all get together and talk about it. Just over one year ago Bill Gates, David Rockefeller, Warren Buffett, George Soros, Michael Bloomberg, Ted Turner, Oprah Winfrey and a number of other incredibly wealthy individuals held a secret meeting in New York.
Apparently they are the big brains that are going to figure out the best ways to make sure that there are fewer of the rest of us running around.
So the next time you hear about the incredible "threat" of climate change in the mainstream media, keep in mind what the global elite believe the ultimate solution to that threat is.
As Bill Gates said, they are not going to be satisfied until they get carbon emissions by humans down to zero.
And considering the fact that you have been breathing out carbon dioxide the whole time that you have been reading this article, that is not good news for you.
Imagine going to sleep one night and waking up many years later in a totally different world. In this futuristic world, literally everything you do is tightly monitored and controlled by control freak bureaucrats in the name of “sustainable development” and with the goal of promoting “the green agenda”. An international ruling body has centralized global control over all human activity. What you eat, what you drink, where you live, how warm or cold your home can be and how much fuel you can use is determined by them. Anyone that dissents or that tries to rebel against the system is sent off for “re-education”. The human population is 90 percent lower than it is today in this futuristic society, and all remaining humans have been herded into tightly constricted cities which are run much like prisons. Does all of that sound good to you? Well, this is what Agenda 21 is all about.
Yes, I know all this sounds like a plot from a science fiction novel. But it is actually real. 178 nations have signed on to Agenda 21. “Eco-prophets” such as Al Gore travel all over the world teaching us how wonderful “sustainable development” will be. This agenda is being pushed in our schools, at our universities, on our televisions and in our movies.
So exactly what is Agenda 21? The following is how the United Nations defines Agenda 21….
Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts on the environment.
When you start doing deep research into Agenda 21, you will find that describing it as a “comprehensive plan” is an understatement. Virtually all forms of human activity impact the environment. The rabid “environmentalists” behind the green agenda intend to take all human activity and put it into a box called “sustainable development”.
One of the key elements of “sustainable development” is population control. The United Nations (along with radical “environmental” leaders such as Al Gore) actually believes that there are far too many people on earth.
So what is the solution?
Sadly, they actually believe that we need to start reducing the population.
“One of the things we could do about it is to change the technologies, to put out less of this pollution, to stabilize the population, and one of the principle ways of doing that is to empower and educate girls and women. You have to have ubiquitous availability of fertility management so women can choose how many children have, the spacing of the children.
You have to lift child survival rates so that parents feel comfortable having small families and most important — you have to educate girls and empower women. And that’s the most powerful leveraging factor, and when that happens, then the population begins to stabilize and societies begin to make better choices and more balanced choices.”
Do you notice how whenever global leaders talk about “empowering” women these days it always ends up with them having less children?
This population control agenda is also reflected in official UN documents.
The following is language from a UN resolution that was adopted by the UN General Assembly that was designed to further the implementation of Agenda 21….
“….population growth rates have been declining globally, largely as a result of expanded basic education and health care. That trend is projected to lead to a stable world population in the middle of the twenty-first century… The current decline in population growth rates must be further promoted through national and international policies that promote economic development, social development, environmental protection, and poverty eradication, particularly the further expansion of basic education, with full and equal access for girls and women, and health care, including reproductive health care, including both family planning and sexual health, consistent with the report of the International Conference on Population and Development.”
Most Americans don’t grasp it yet, but the truth is that the global elite are absolutely obsessed with population control. In fact, there is a growing consensus among the global elite that they need to get rid of 80 to 90 percent of us.
The number one commandment of the infamous Georgia Guidestones is this: “Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.”
Unfortunately, a very high percentage of our global leaders actually believe in this stuff.
The following are three quotes that were pulled right out of that document….
1) “Each birth results not only in the emissions attributable to that person in his or her lifetime, but also the emissions of all his or her descendants. Hence, the emissions savings from intended or planned births multiply with time.”
2) “No human is genuinely “carbon neutral,” especially when all greenhouse gases are figured into the equation. Therefore, everyone is part of the problem, so everyone must be part of the solution in some way.”
3) “Strong family planning programmes are in the interests of all countries for greenhouse-gas concerns as well as for broader welfare concerns.”
If no human is “carbon neutral”, then what is the solution?
To those that are obsessed with Agenda 21 and “sustainable development”, the fact that you and I are alive and breathing air is a huge problem.
The population control agenda is also regularly showing up in our newspapers now.
In a recent editorial for the New York Times entitled “The Earth Is Full“, Thomas L. Friedman made the following statement….
You really do have to wonder whether a few years from now we’ll look back at the first decade of the 21st century — when food prices spiked, energy prices soared, world population surged, tornados plowed through cities, floods and droughts set records, populations were displaced and governments were threatened by the confluence of it all — and ask ourselves: What were we thinking? How did we not panic when the evidence was so obvious that we’d crossed some growth/climate/natural resource/population redlines all at once?
But Friedman is quite moderate compared to many of the “eco-prophets” that are running around out there today.
For example, James Lovelock, the creator of the Gaia hypothesis, stated in an interview with the Guardian earlier this year that “democracy must be put on hold” if the fight against global warming is going to be successful and that only “a few people with authority” should be permitted to rule the planet until the crisis is solved.
A Finnish environmentalist named Pentti Linkola has gone even farther than that. Linkola is openly calling for climate change deniers to be “re-educated”, for an eco-fascist world government to be established, for humans to be forcibly sterilized and for the majority of humans to be killed.
That doesn’t sound pleasant, now does it?
This agenda is even being taught by professors at our top universities.
The truth is that academia is brimming with nutjobs who want to see the vast majority of humans wiped out.
For example, Professor of Biology at the University of Texas at Austin Eric R. Pianka is a very prominent advocate of radical human population control.
*First, and foremost, we must get out of denial and recognize that Earth simply cannot support many billions of people.
*This planet might be able to support perhaps as many as half a billion people who could live a sustainable life in relative comfort. Human populations must be greatly diminished, and as quickly as possible to limit further environmental damage.
*I do not bear any ill will toward humanity. However, I am convinced that the world WOULD clearly be much better off without so many of us.
Now keep in mind that this is a university professor that is teaching our kids. People actually pay a lot of money to get educated by this guy.
If those pushing Agenda 21, “sustainable development” and population control get their way, the world is going to be a much different place in the future.
Just watch the video posted below. It was originally produced by the Forum for the Future, a major NGO funded by big corporations such as Time Warner and Royal Dutch Shell. In this video, the Forum for the Future presents their chilling version of the future. Are you ready to live in a “Planned-opolis”? Are you ready to use a “calorie card” and to have what you eat determined by a “global food council”? This is the kind of tyrannical future that these radical environmental organizations want to impose on you and I….
Yes, the video is almost comical, but this is the kind of world that the global elite want to push us towards.
In fact, we see radical steps being taken all over the globe even now.
In Europe, the European Commission has unveiled a plan to ban all cars from major European cities by the year 2050.
In Europe, the mantra “carbon dioxide is causing global warming” has become gospel. This banning of cars from city centers is all part of a draconian master plan to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in Europe by 60 percent over the next 40 years.
Hopefully this plan will never come to fruition, but the fact that the European Commission is seriously pushing it just shows how far things have progressed.
But we don’t have to peer into the future to see how this agenda is going to affect us.
Today, the U.S. government and governments all over the industrialized world have become so obsessed with reducing carbon emissions that now they even tell us what kinds of light bulbs we are allowed to buy.
There are millions of Americans that love the old light bulbs. But soon we will not have the choice to buy them anymore.
What kind of freedom is that?
In some areas of the United States, government snoopers actually sort through the trash of residents to ensure that environmental rules are being followed. For example, in the city of Cleveland, Ohio authorities have announced plans to have “trash supervisors” go snooping through trash cans to ensure that people are actually recycling according to city guidelines.
How would you feel if government officials went snooping around in your trash cans?
The world is changing. The global elite have immense amounts of wealth and power and they are intent on imposing a radical environmental agenda on all the rest of us.
The reality is that many of the wealthiest and most prominent people in the world are absolutely obsessed with the green agenda and with population control. Just consider the following quotes….
David Rockefeller: “The negative impact of population growth on all of our planetary ecosystems is becoming appallingly evident.”
CNN Founder Ted Turner: “A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal.”
Dave Foreman, Earth First Co-Founder: “My three main goals would be to reduce human population to about 100 million worldwide, destroy the industrial infrastructure and see wilderness, with it’s full complement of species, returning throughout the world.”
Maurice Strong: “Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?”
Michael Oppenheimer: “The only hope for the world is to make sure there is not another United States. We can’t let other countries have the same number of cars, the amount of industrialization, we have in the US. We have to stop these Third World countries right where they are.”
This radical agenda is even represented in the White House.
John P. Holdren, Barack Obama’s top science advisor, co-authored a textbook entitled “Ecoscience” back in 1977 in which he actually advocated mass sterilization, compulsory abortion, a one world government and a global police force to enforce population control.
On page 837 of Ecoscience, a claim is made that compulsory abortion would be perfectly legal under the U.S. Constitution….
“Indeed, it has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society.”
On pages 942 and 943, a call is made for the creation of a “planetary regime” that would control the global economy and enforce population control measures….
“Perhaps those agencies, combined with UNEP and the United Nations population agencies, might eventually be developed into a Planetary Regime—sort of an international superagency for population, resources, and environment. Such a comprehensive Planetary Regime could control the development, administration, conservation, and distribution of all natural resources, renewable or nonrenewable, at least insofar as international implications exist. Thus the Regime could have the power to control pollution not only in the atmosphere and oceans, but also in such freshwater bodies as rivers and lakes that cross international boundaries or that discharge into the oceans. The Regime might also be a logical central agency for regulating all international trade, perhaps including assistance from DCs to LDCs, and including all food on the international market.”
“The Planetary Regime might be given responsibility for determining the optimum population for the world and for each region and for arbitrating various countries’ shares within their regional limits. Control of population size might remain the responsibility of each government, but the Regime would have some power to enforce the agreed limits.”
On page 917, the surrender of U.S. national sovereignty to an international organization is advocated….
“If this could be accomplished, security might be provided by an armed international organization, a global analogue of a police force. Many people have recognized this as a goal, but the way to reach it remains obscure in a world where factionalism seems, if anything, to be increasing. The first step necessarily involves partial surrender of sovereignty to an international organization.”
As mentioned earlier, Holdren is the number one science advisor to Barack Obama, and the truth is that the top levels of the U.S. government are packed with people that believe this stuff.
Yes, a lot of what you have read in this article sounds crazy. But the global elite really do believe in population control and they really are seeking to implement a radical environmental agenda across the entire planet.
They want total control of everyone and everything so that they can impose the measures that they believe are necessary to “fix” the planet.
I have actually written quite extensively in the past about the radical green agenda of the global elite. If you are interested in learning more, I would recommend the following articles….
So do you have an opinion that you would like to share about Al Gore, Agenda 21 or population control? If so, please feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments section below….
Do Wall Street Insiders Expect Something Really BIG To Happen Very Soon?
By Michael, on February 6th, 2013
Why are corporate insiders dumping huge numbers of shares in their own companies right now? Why are some very large investors suddenly making gigantic bets that the stock market will crash at some point in the next 60 days? Do Wall Street insiders expect something really BIG to happen very soon? Do they know something that we do not know? What you are about to read below is startling. Every time that the market has fallen in recent years, insiders have been able to get out ahead of time. David Coleman of the Vickers Weekly Insider report recently notedthat Wall Street insiders have shown "a remarkable ability of late to identify both market peaks and troughs". That is why it is so alarming that corporate insiders are selling nine times as many shares as they are buying right now. In addition, some extraordinarily large bets have just been made that will only pay off if the financial markets in the U.S. crash by the end of April. So what does all of this mean? Well, it could mean absolutely nothing or it could mean that there are people out there that actually have insider knowledge that a market crash is coming. Evaluate the evidence below and decide for yourself...
For some reason, corporate insiders have chosen this moment to unload huge amounts of stock. According to a CNN article, corporate insiders are now selling nine times more of their own shares than they are buying...
Corporate insiders have one word for investors: sell.
Insiders were nine times more likely to sell shares of their companies than buy new ones last week, according to the Vickers Weekly Insider report by Argus Research.
What makes this so alarming is that corporate insiders have been exceedingly good at "timing the market" in recent years. The following comes from a recent CNBC article entitled "Sucker Alert? Insider Selling Surges After Dow 14,000"...
"In almost perfect coordination with an equity market that was rushing toward new all-time highs, insider sentiment has weakened sharply — falling to its lowest level since late March 2012," wrote David Coleman of the Vickers Weekly Insider report, one of the longest researchers of executive buying and selling on Wall Street. "Insiders are waving the cautionary flag in an increasingly aggressive manner."
There have been more than nine insider sales for every one buy over the past week among NYSE stocks, according to Vickers. The last time executives sold their company's stock this aggressively was in early 2012, just before the S&P 500 went on to correct by 10 percent to its low for the year.
"Insiders know more than the vast majority of market participants," said Enis Taner, global macro editor for RiskReversal.com. "And they're usually right over a long period of time."
There are other indications that the stock market may be headed for a significant tumble in the months ahead. For example, as a Zero Hedge article recently pointed out, the last time that the financial markets in the U.S. were as "euphoric" as they are now was right before the financial crisis of 2008.
And as I mentioned above, some people out there have recently made some absolutely jaw-dropping bets against stocks which will only pay off if there is a financial crash at some point in the next few months.
According to Business Insider, the recent purchase of 100,000 put options by a mystery investor has a lot of people on Wall Street talking...
The trader bought 100,000 put options on the ETF (a put option increases in value when the price of the underlying asset, in this case, the ETF, goes down).
To put that number in perspective, Sears writes, "Few investors ever trade more than 500 contracts, so a 100,000 order tends to stop traffic and prompt all sorts of speculation about what's motivating the trade." According to Sears, the trade "has sparked conversations across the market."
Reportedly, those put options expire in April.
And as Art Cashin of UBS has noted, there was also another extremely large bet that was placed recently that is banking on a financial crash within the next two months...
A Very Big Bet In A Somewhat Unlikely Instrument – My friend, Jim Brown, the ever-alert consummate professional over at Option Investor pointed us to a rather unusual trade. Here's what he wrote in last night's edition of his valuable newsletter:
In past years I have reported on trades that were so large it appeared someone had inside knowledge of a pending event. Sometimes those were massive put positions on the S&P. A new trade just appeared that suggests there will be a market event in the near future. Last week somebody put on a call spread on the VIX using the April 20 and 25 puts. They bought 150,000 contracts for a net of $75 per contract. That is an $11,250,000 bet that the VIX will move over 20 over the next 60 days. You would have to be VERY confident in your outlook to risk $11 million on a directional position with the VIX at five year lows and the markets trying to break out to new highs.
So does all of this guarantee that the stock market is going to move a certain way?
Of course not.
But when you step back and look at the bigger picture, it does appear that Wall Street insiders are preparing for something.
Meanwhile, the government continues to assure us that happy days are here again for the U.S. economy and that we don't have anything to worry about.
The Congressional Budget Office has just released a report that contains their outlook for the next decade. The report is entitled "The Budget and Economic Outlook: Fiscal Years 2013 to 2023", and if you want a good laugh you should read it.
Here are some of the things that the CBO believes will happen...
-The CBO believes that government revenues will more than double by 2023.
-The CBO believes that government revenue as a percentage of GDP will rise from 15.8 percent today to 19.1 percent in 2023.
-The CBO believes that the unemployment rate will continually fall over the next decade.
-The CBO believes that the federal budget deficit will fall to just 2.4% of GDP in fiscal year 2015.
-The CBO believes that the federal budget deficit will only be $430 billion in 2015.
-The CBO believes that we will not have a single recession over the next decade.
-The CBO believes that inflation will stay at about 2 percent for the next decade.
-The CBO believes that U.S. GDP will grow by a total of 67 percent by 2023.
Wow, all of that sounds great until you go back and take a look at how CBO projections have fared in the past.
In fact, Bruce Krasting has gone back and looked at the numbers from the Congressional Budget Office’s Budget and Economic Outlook 2003. I think that you will find the differences between the CBO projections and what really happened to be very humorous...
Estimated 10-year budget surplus = $5.6T.
Reality = $6.6T deficit. A 200+% miss.
Estimate for 2012 Debt Held by Public = $1.2T (5% of GDP).
Reality = Debt Held by Public = $11.6T. A 1000% miss.
Estimated fiscal 2012 GDP = $17.4T.
Reality = $15.8T. A $1.6T (10%) miss.
So should we trust what the CBO is telling us now?
Of course not.
Instead, perhaps we should listen to some of the men that successfully warned us about the last financial crisis...
-Pimco's Bill Gross says that we are heading for a "credit supernova".
-Nomura's Bob Janjuah believes that the financial markets will experience one more huge spike before collapsing by up to 50%...
I continue to believe that the S&P500 can trade up towards the 1575/1550 area, where we have, so far, a grand double top. I would not be surprised to see the S&P trade marginally through the 2007 all-time nominal high (the real high was of course seen over a decade ago – so much for equities as a long-term vehicle for wealth creation!). A weekly close at a new all-time high would I think lead to the final parabolic spike up which creates the kind of positioning extreme and leverage extreme needed to create the conditions for a 25% to 50% collapse in equities over the rest of 2013 and 2014, driven by real economy reality hitting home, and by policymaker failure/loss of faith in "their system".
The truth is that no matter how much money printing the Federal Reserve does, it is only a matter of time before the financial markets catch up with economic reality.
The U.S. economy has been in decline for a very long time, and things just continue to get even worse. Here are just a few numbers...
-The percentage of the civilian labor force that is employed has fallen every single year since 2006.
-According to John Williams of shadowstats.com, truly accurate numbers would show that U.S. GDP growth has actually been continuously negative all the way back to 2005.
-U.S. families that have a head of household that is under the age of 30 have a poverty rate of 37 percent.
-One recent survey found that nearly half of all Americans are living on the edge of financial ruin.
-According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are more than 146 million Americans that are considered to be either "poor" or "low income" at this point.
Well, after the next major financial crisis in America things are going to get very tough.
We can get a hint for how things are going to be by taking a look at what is going on over in Europe right now.
Can you imagine people trampling each other for food? That is what is happening in Greece. Just check out this excerpt from a Reuters article...
Hundreds of people jostled for free vegetables handed out by farmers in a symbolic protest earlier on Wednesday, trampling one man and prompting an outcry over the growing desperation created by economic crisis.
Images of people struggling to seize bags of tomatoes and leeks thrown from a truck dominated television, triggering a bout of soul-searching over the new depths of poverty in the debt-laden country.
The suffering that the Greeks are experiencing right now will come to this country soon enough.
So enjoy this false bubble of debt-fueled prosperity while you can. It is going to end way too soon, and after that there will be a whole lot of pain.
Agenda21 can be defeated if enough of us move out to the countryside and form communities resistant to foreign and domestic terror and tyranny, that are resource and energy self sufficient - to a greater extent than we are now.
By creating hemp businesses, we can improve our health, safety, and psychological well being.
We can exercise our inalienable right to self defense and disobey the corrupt laws of the government that are worthy of revolution.
Support decriminalization of industrial non narcotic hemp. Plant the seed, it will grow like a weed until it is harvested by bio friendly farmers who make environmentally safe and energy net neutral products.
Those products would include clothing, fuels for cars, trains, and planes. It will include plastics as hard as steel and food as safe and natural as god intended.
Stop this nonsense of supporting one puppet or the other. We are all being played by twisted politics of the new world order and the high canals. Cartels of billionaire gangsters oil the machine of tyranny with money not printed but materialized out of thin air.
The Federal Reserve should be audited ASAP. The S&P ratings lawsuit should be on every channel and we should all be asking lots of questions, filing lawsuits, protesting, boycotting, and pushing back this criminal activity that is destroying the planet.
Forget climate change, we need to stop the invasion of the foreign bankers from beheading our society and enslaving us all.
We have to start with learning about Agenda 21. Figure out if your city or town is on the crosshairs of the UN.
Defund think tanks like the CFR, Rand, public private operations like Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Federal Reserve, IRS.
They have our military by the balls with their lobbyists from Israel and Saudi Arabia, The City of London, and the British Royal Crown.
Do your homework and you will see, the same monopolies have controlled us for centuries.
You will see that the first declaration of independence was written on hemp paper by men who smoked it. If we can't do either in America today, then we are not as free as they were at that moment. 1776.
Watch this video first, then read the article below written back in February 2013.
From February 9, 2013:
Sitting down for lunch with the family on Saturday the following headline in the San Mateo Daily Journal caught my eye.
Bay Area leaders consider merger The article begins explaining how business and civic leaders gathered in San Jose to "consider the advantages of merging the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley into a single region, sharing everything from city dumps to water treatment plants as communities sprawl across borders."
Most people probably read the article and thought "oh how wonderful, they will be able to achieve certain economic efficiencies by consolidating governments, structuring better public transportation connections, and so forth.
The article goes on to say:
"Leaders attending the State of the Valley conference Friday noted that Bay Area residents, businesses and local governments face the same challenges, from gridlock and earthquakes to steep housing prices and climate change."
So apparently there are economic, environmental, and social crises in the area that need to be addressed. PROBLEM.
Most people would agree that there are a plethora of issues in the Bay Area, but in general it is a pleasant place to live. It's true we have one of the world's most expensive housing markets in the world, but we also have fairly stable and near maximized employment. It's true we have horrific public schools despite collecting an enormous amount of money from property taxes, but most who can afford it send their kids to private schools, or rent houses in Cupertino so their kids can go to amazing public schools. We also have at least 2 separate train systems (Caltrain and BART) that do not coordinate well with each other nor with the bus systems, but apart from Denver, Chicago and New York City no American cities have decent public transportation. Regardless, the Bay Area is running fairly well. Many disagree and therein lies the REACTION.
The articles continues with the stated public objective of the proposal. SOLUTION
...the region, which amounts to the world’s 13th-largest economy, should continue to boom if they coordinate their planning and consider merging transit systems, police and fire services and even city governments.
Technology forecaster Paul Saffo told conference participants that sharing everything from landfills to police helicopters could make the entire area more efficient, save money and help businesses remain competitive.
If we just merge our diaspora of cities around the bay, we will continue to achieve economic growth. I didn't know that was an issue. I mean we all know that California proper is near bankruptcy following the global economic crisis of 2008, but the Silicon Valley and most of the Bay Area has hardly been disturbed.
Saving money, cutting bureaucratic waste, and achieving economies of scale are all wonderful theoretical objectives. That is rarely what happens when power centers are created. Look at Washington DC. But that doesnt stop the virtuous solicitations of POWER.
“Powerful regions are the new basic unit of governments in the 21st century,” said Saffo, pointing to Singapore and Hong Kong. “City states are the powerful nexus of power, commerce, culture and identity.”
This must be the true objective. To create powerful city states like Rome, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Perhaps this is to counter the powerless small towns that collectively make up the region at this time.
The whole conference was setup to meet following the release of a 2013 Index of Silicon Valley which found the region is leading the country out of the recession with 92,000 new jobs last year. It turns out the index and the conference were both sponsored by Joint Venture Silicon Valley Network and the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, both nonprofits associated with the region’s businesses and governments.
Who is the Joint Venture Silicon Valley Network and what are their goals and objectives? According to their website it was
Established in 1993, Joint Venture Silicon Valley provides analysis and action on issues affecting our region's economy and quality of life. The organization brings together established and emerging leaders—from business, government, academia, labor and the broader community—to spotlight issues and work toward innovative solutions.
They have an interesting list of private sector sponsors, many who have been bailed out or have nefarious connections with the military industrial complex. Interestingly enough the public sector sponsors includes the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Why would they be interested in economic efficiencies and centralized power houses? Well, the Netherlands and the US are signatories to the United Nations Agenda 21 kicked off in 1992. Agenda 21 is a very controversial world government initiative that has been protested since its inception. From the UN USA website, it is defined as:
Agenda 21 encourages, rather than compels, UN Member States to take into consideration the environmental impacts of their land, resources, and transportation development policies. Adopted at the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro, the document reflects a broad international consensus that worsening poverty and growing stresses on the environment require greater integration between environmental and development concerns.
Many have exposed the nefarious hidden goals of the United Nations as an attempt at world government controlled by a royal elite with a collectivist agenda. Remember the US sponsor of the United Nations was Alger Hiss, a convicted communist spy and since its inception it has been sponsored by powerful tax exempt foundations belonging to the robber barons of the early 20th century, such as the Rockefellers.
It is clear that this article is insufficient in revealing the smoking gun behind a global conspiracy to drive us into slavery but it should be a good start to spark legitimate investigation by those who would be affected.
The questions we should be asking are:
What are the connections to Agenda 21?
Who would benefit from the merger of regional cities?
Who would lead such an regional powerhouse? Would they be elected or technocratic appointees of the elite?
How will a larger bureaucracy of concentrated power be more efficient and to the benefit of local residents? The larger the governmental unit, the greater the prospects for significant corruption. Haven't we seen the Federal Government become a corrupt and tyrannical tool of a wealthy elite?Why would a new city state be any different?
Where will decisions be made about zoning, licensing, and permits?
Will it negate or make obsolete the local city councils?
Will there be a regional banking entity and will it be private or public?
What will it have in common with the Vatican, DC, and the City of London?
Wouldn't smaller service suppliers be crowded out to larger organizations that supposedly have greater economies of scale? That means local businesses and start up will be squeezed out of the market. This is what critics of Walmart complain about.
Where will our food supply come from? If we continue to build and develop housing and industry at the expense of farming, aren't we increasing our dependence on imported foods and our risk associated?
Will GMOs be acceptable food sources for this new City State?
Paul Saffo has commented that ‘our world is moving from one of nation-states to one of city-states. Rather than the future being one of the US versus China, it is going to be Silicon Valley vs. Beijing or Chicago vs. Paris. Each dominant city will define its region. With the “flattening” of the world, Chicago is no longer vying with US cities like New York for influence, commerce and jobs, but other major cities in the world.’ The MIT 19.20.21 programme is just one of several research studies underway that are looking at future urban environments. Predicting that there will be nineteen cities with over 20 million populations in the 21st century, this sees that ‘the rise of supercities is the defining megatrend of the 21st century’.
"Powerful regions are the new basic unit of governments in the 21st century ... City states are the powerful nexus of power, commerce, culture and identity."
Our democracy is utterly dependent upon an informed and engaged citizenry. We must talk to each other about politics to form thoughtful opinions and maybe learn something that will help us run our communities. We may as well start at home.
A new Bretton Woods is in our future, a moment when chastened global leaders will commit to building a new institutional order. But it will take another, larger economic crisis before the collective will to do so is found. In the meantime, we must immediately undertake another equally important task: We need to create a global economic observatory, an entity capable of collecting and digesting the data needed to truly understand the global economy in all its shifting complexity.
Susan Lindauer (CIA / 9/11) Susan was a former CIA asset who worked with the Libyan and Iraqi embassies prior to 9/11. Following that day, she began to reveal CIA complicity in Middle East heroin trafficking.
Lindauer also talked candidly about how Israel tried to buy U.S. Intelligence officers and Assets. For the first time on record, she revealed that a known Mossad agent tried to bribe her into handing over Iraq’s collection of banking records on Al Qaeda’s financial pipeline by phoning her home in Maryland while she was traveling in Baghdad, and promising to deliver a suitcase full of cash to any city in the world in exchange for the papers.

Susan subsequently became the second non-Arab citizen to be arrested under the Patriot Act, which culminated in a five-year indictment and near total prison lockdown for one year.
While in prison Susan was subjected to harsh conditions that would be considered torture in multiple countries. Contrary to what most Americans think, Susan and the other inmates in solitary confinement were only allowed outside once every TEN days and even then the actual amount of time outside was closer to thirty minutes.

In the video below she discusses her revelations about pre-9/11 warnings and all that followed, which eventually got published in her book Extreme Prejudice: The Terrifying Story of the Patriot Act and the Cover-ups of 9/11 and Iraq.

Today there is headline after headline in the mainstream media about how dangerous "climate change" is and about how the world as we know it is going to end if we don't take dramatic steps to fight global warming. But what they don't tell you in the mainstream media is what the "final solution" for the problem of "climate change" that the global elite have come up with actually is. You see, for the global elite the math is simple. They believe that human overpopulation is causing climate change, and so the solution to climate change is population control. As bizarre as that sounds, that is what they actually believe. The truth is that they are convinced that climate change is going to literally destroy the earth and that the best way to fight climate change is to get rid of a whole bunch of us.
