Unelected World Government

After Cancun, world government is a fact. It is here. It is real. It is costly. It is unelected. It is powerful. It will grow. It will be resented. It will be hated. But it will not easily be dislodged.
It is easy to establish a bureaucracy, provided that one has – as the Secretariat has – near-unlimited amounts of other people’s money to pay for it. But it is all but impossible to kill a bureaucracy once it has become established, except by revolution.
Monckton

A week in tweets

To be more precise, 9 days in tweets. This is a list of my tweetfolio since aug 22nd. Just a regular account of an average little planet undergoing an ordinary technological singularity. A battalion of bulletins that should furnish the reader with a direct hit of the atmosphere of the world. The zeitgeist, if you like; in chronological order (see it in reverse chronological order, with all the tweets i missed out here >) https://twitter.com/pac3mak3r

Zombie free Zone

(from www.collapsenet.com)

Zombie -- (Zom-bee): A moving but brain-dead and soul-dead creature in a human body who functions on the biological, moral, spiritual and intellectual precept that everything in existence is there for its consumption and destruction; without awareness or consciousness of the ramifications on any other life forms -- including other zombies.

Zombies are living dead. The only proven recourse for living humans is to avoid contact with zombies as much as possible. Zombies automatically and unquestionably believe in the principle of infinite growth and are incapable of conceptualizing other life paradigms. Zombies believe that everything in the universe must be classified and treated as either left or right... without actually defining the terms or using conveniently changing definitions of them. When faced with shortages of anything, zombies frequently revert to cannibalism by eating the lives of other humans to satisfy their insatiable hunger and arrogant and belligerent stupidity. Zombies prefer to eat the living first, thus forcing them to become zombies.
Zombies cannot hear and do not listen to simple scientific laws or do simple arithmetic. Zombies are known for their ability to ask extremely stupid questions and to try and engage in futile arguments with the living, thus paralyzing or retarding useful debate and discussion. Zombies are closely related to vampires in that they exist to suck life and energy out of anything that has life and energy. The zombie paradigm is one of infinite growth in that zombies always need to create more zombies.

Zombies can revert back to living status but this usually happens only when zombies are faced with imminent death. Collapsenet will always welcome former-zombies who have become human again. Current zombies are not welcome here.

Enforced Poverty

Wages (real wages) in america have gone down whilst worker productivity has tripled since the 70's.

That makes the average american worker three times worse off in terms of standard of living.

This is indicative that poverty is being increased amplified and encouraged even in the wealthiest nation in the world, so that worker productivity can be increased, regardless of the social degredation that entails.

In this way the rich ruling class keep control of populations by making them unstable. A mind bending paradox which is a money spinning scam, and an affront to the emergent symbiotic nature of life.

The men and women engaged in this ruthless profiteering seem to be convincing themselves that they have found a magnificent way of life and are feasting at the tree of knowledge, the source of enlightenment. But to all around them who are not suffering from power induced psychosis we can see that they are actually feeding on the most rotten fruits the tree of life can yield. Literally as happy as pigs in shit.

Unless the rich ruling elite are overthrown non violently, we can expect a desolate stage of human history ahead. Unity is the key to sustainability.

freeconomy

One of the critical reasons that we have so many major issues in the world today - such as climate change, sweatshops, wars over oil reserves, factory farms, polluted oceans and rivers - is because we never have to see the direct repercussions that our purchases have on the people, environment and animals they affect. The degrees of separation between the consumer and the consumed have increased so much that it now, conveniently, means that people are completely unaware of the levels of destruction and suffering involved in the making of the 'stuff' they purchase. We have no longer any idea how much embodied energy has gone into the things we consume. The main reason we have no appreciation for this energy is because we are so disconnected from what we buy. The tool that has enabled us to be so disconnected, so separated from what we consume, is money, especially in it modern globalised format.

Take this for an example. If we grew our own food, we wouldn't waste a third of it as we do today. If we made our own tables and chairs, we wouldn't throw them out the moment we changed the interior decor. If we had to clean our own drinking water, we probably wouldn't defecate in it.

If we could see the child working under military presence in a sweatshop, we would probably think twice about buying that new pair of jeans on the High St. If we could see the face of the mother in Iraq as her child lies dead from a cluster bomb, we'd probably think twice about going on an oil-guzzling cheap flight for the weekend. If we could see the size of the landfill sites where our 'stuff' goes, we would probably have a lot more respect for what we have and use.

Money, as a method of easily storing wealth, has also enabled humans to bank exploitation - of people, the environment and animals - and has also replaced communities, friendships and families as the No.1 source of security for people.

The aim of my hunger strike is to get uk government to de-monetise food (real food, not confectionary or mcdonalds) water and energy, as i believe, that its not just possible but vital. I have a basic knowledge of economy and finance, which has been embellished by you, and stacy, and your guests. I think i gettit now. ITS RIGGED!!!

You can find me on twitter @ http://twitter.com/pac3mak3r
I'm hoping that you can give me a mention on one of your shows. You dont have to mention my name, im not looking for personal notoriety, but i think the fact that anyone in the uk is hunger striking against this financial terrorism is worth a mention. I would love to come on your show, but im nowhere near as clued up as your regular guests.
Thanks for all your excellent work
Blake
