ARE WE ALL INCAPABLE OF ACTING AS ONE ?

The Asteroid is on it final countdown before hitting earth causing a terminator-style annihilation.

Most of us have seen a Science fiction Movie with this scenario.

Did you ever try to list the reasons why it is impossible for man to act as one. A very interesting exercise of imagination and fact.

Here is my first attempt at a few reasons

Our DNA demands Survival.  Greed.

We are caught in a vicious cycle of Fear, Rage, and Appetites that cry for instant gratification.

We are the agents of the very changes that are throttling us.

We are inventing a world of which we are altogether ill fit to live on.

Complex languages.  World Organisations that compete against each other.

Intelligence. In ourselves, we may finally have met our match.

There is an Evolutionary force to which we cannot adapt.  The web.

Perhaps we will simply morph into Cyber sapiens,* a new human, infinitely more intelligent than you or I are, perhaps more socially adept, or at least able to juggle large tribes of friends, acquaintances, and business associates with the skill of a circus performer. A creature more capable of keeping up with the change it generates. To handle the challenges of time shortages and long distances, Cyber sapiens may even be able to bilocate or split off multiple, digital versions of themselves, each of whom can blithely live separate lives and then periodically rejoin their various digital selves so that they become a supersize version of a single person. 

 A lack of biological constraint may become the defining trait of the next human. We will almost certainly become augmented versions of our current selves.

Our newfound capabilities might become more than we can handle. Will we evolve into some version of comic-book heroes and villains, clashing mythically and with terrible consequences? Powers like these give the term cutting edge a new and lethal meaning. And what of those who don’t have access to all of the fresh, amplifying technologies?

Should we not being guarding  against a world of super-haves and super-have-nots? It is these sides of the equation I wonder about most.

THE SCRAMBLE HAS BEGUN-IS SUSTAINABILITY STILL POSSIBLE

Climate change, Community cohesion, Distribution of wealth, Environment, Extinction, FOUNDATIONS /FORUM THINK TANKS, Globalization, Sovereign wealth fund, Sustainability

We are all living in an age where the word Sustainability more typically lends itself to corporate behaviour.

The question is whether civilization ( what ever civilization mean these days) can continue on its current path without undermining prospects for future well-being.

Can humanity alter current behaviors that are leading to self destruction.

The North America’s Iroguis had a proverb ” We have not inherited the earth from our fathers,we are borrowing it from our children.

So what’s going on? and can it keep going on in this way, on this scale, at this pace.

It will almost certainly take more cooperation and more sharing that we can imagine in a world driven by competition and individual accumulation of wealth.

Societies are unlikely to enact policies and programs that favor the future, at the expense of people living in the present, especially the poorer among us.  We have little choice but to give priority to the needs of human beings alive today.

On the other hand we classify ourselves as a Smart and adaptive species which might explain why so many important economic and environmental trends seem headed in conflicting and even opposite directions. 

To help with measurement, we should look without blinking at what is unsustainable—at practices and patterns that,  if we don’t stop them, will stop us.
The rarely voiced reality of environmental unsustainability is that we may have not just less prosperous and comfortable lives in the future but shorter and fewer lives altogether.
If it proves too challenging to feed the projected 2050 world population of more than 9 billion people, for example, it is quite possible we will not have to—for the worst of reasons.
The same can be said of “business-as-usual” greenhouse gas emission scenarios: by the time global thermometers register a hike of 4 degrees Celsius, business-as-usual will have ended a long time ago.
So to answer the Question.  It is my belief that we are all incapable of Sustainability, due to Greed.
The only way is to harness greed into contributing by Placing a World Aid Tax or commission on all Stock Exchange transactions world-wide.
This will creating a sustainable fund to distribute wealth to tackle the present day unsustainable inequalities in the world.

SOVEREIGN WEALTH FUNDS MUST BE REGULATED.

BY THE YEAR 2015 SOVEREIGN WEALTH FUNDS ARE PROJECTED TO REACH $15 TRILLION.

If we and our governments don’t wake up to these funds and get away from the perception that they are as Saviors of the Western Financial system they will not only privatize everything, but they will lay the foundations for future world conflicts.

At best globalization is a lopsided process.

Why should we allow governments to transfer ownership of business, public services and national resources to the Private sector by sales in whole or part to foreign government – controlled firms or Investment Funds.

There must be a comprehensive International Agreement governing all types of cross-border investments by Governments.

You only have to look at the recent sale of the Royal Mail in the Uk a national asset.

Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, billionaire investor George Soros and activist hedge fund Third Point were among the 16 investors given preferential treatment.  City fund manager Threadneedle received the highest allocation – about 19.5m, equivalent to a 2% stake – and Third Point, the US hedge fund led by activist investor Daniel Loeb, the smallest at 5m – 0.5% of the company.

The list of 16 priority investors included strange beasts who would not fit anybody’s definition of cuddly, reliable, long-term types. Long term my arse they cashed in.  Even the investment arm of the government’s advisers at City firm Lazard had made an £8m profit selling shares in the first week. The privatisation rush will cost taxpayers dearly.

Now I know that there are more pressing problems in the world, wars, starvation, climate change, inequality, technology wast lands, most of which can only be resolved by applying a World Aid commission on all stock exchange transactions.

This which can only be achieved by people’s power demanding such before we are all commodities.

NATURAL LAW GOVERNS ALL TECHNOLOGY NOW AND IN THE FUTURE

Future, Internet, Technology, United Nations, World Wide Conflicts

 

Just in case you are one of those lonely people with 500 friends on Facebook, (most of them you never hear of but promoted by a faceless Facebook prompt) tweets all day long, can’t go anywhere without you smart phone, spend most of your time looking down into LCD screens, Googling , Flip Boarding, never experiencing real cooking, real friendship, real conversation with body language, doesn’t know what true or false, you are on a complex collision with what life is really like.

Now don’t get me wrong I am not against Technological advances but I am somewhat  fearful that we are not seeing as yet a genuine revolution of Technology.  We are creating a world which is not connected but becoming more and more disconnected.  A world of vast inequalities.

What we can do in the world depends on what we can make.

Take for instance the Internet.  Prosperity= Internet.  Poverty=no Internet.

There is no doubt that the world as we ( the older generation) have known it is coming to an end.

The microchip is everywhere and no where.

We are only on the threshold of Technology. It won’t be long before the whole lot will be on your wrist, or in your contact lenses.

With you very own genome map on a DNA chip that will be down loaded to grow replacement new body parts, and analyze your health while sitting on the toilet.   Cant wait! for the Robots with AI.

Before you all get carried away here is a dose of Present Day conflict worldwide.

Realities that are turned into entertainment by the Mass media, before the weather forecast.  Why are there so many.?  Because we are disconnected to the reasons. The present day War in Syria started with a Drought.

AMERICANS:

5 Countries.
25 drug cartels, militias guerrillas, separatist, anarchic groups involved.

Europe:

8 Countries.
68 militias guerrillas, separatist, anarchic groups involved

Middle East:

8 countries.
168 militias guerrillas, separatist, anarchic groups involved.

Asia:

15 Countries;
127 militias guerrillas, separatist, anarchic groups involved.

Africa:

24 Countries:
145 militias guerrillas, separatist, anarchic groups involved

Total 60 Countries: 534 militias guerrillas, separatist, anarchic groups involved.

All the communication technology in the world is worthless if we don’t value life rather than Profit for Profit sake.

Co2

04 Sunday May 2014

Posted by bobdillon33@gmail.com in Uncategorized

≈ Comments Off on Co2

Where Does Carbon Dioxide Really Come From?

PLIMER:

“The volcanic eruption in Iceland since its first spewing of volcanic ash has, in just FOUR DAYS, NEGATED EVERY SINGLE EFFORT you have made in the past five years to control CO2 emissions on our planet – all of you.” (2010)

Of course, you know about this evil carbon dioxide that we are trying to suppress – it’s that vital chemical compound that every plant requires to live and grow and to synthesize into oxygen for us humans and all animal life. I know….it’s very disheartening to realize that all of the carbon emission savings you have accomplished while suffering the inconvenience and expense of driving Prius hybrids, buying fabric grocery bags, sitting up till midnight to finish your kids “The Green Revolution” science project, throwing out all of your non-green cleaning supplies, using only two squares of toilet paper, putting a brick in your toilet tank reservoir, selling your SUV and speedboat, vacationing at home instead of abroad, nearly getting hit every day on your bicycle, replacing all of your 50 cent light bulbs with $10.00 light bulbs…..well, all of those things you have done have all gone down the tubes in just four days.

The volcanic ash emitted into the Earth’s atmosphere in just four days – yes, FOUR DAYS – by that volcano in Iceland totally erased every single effort you have made to reduce the evil beast, carbon. And there are around 200 active volcanoes on the planet spewing out this crud at any one time – EVERY DAY.

I don’t really want to rain on your parade too much, but I should mention that when the volcano Mt. Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines in 1991, it
spewed more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than the entire human race had emitted in all its years on earth.

Yes, Mt. Pinatubo was active for over one year – think about it. Of course, I shouldn’t spoil this ‘touchy-feely tree-hugging moment and mention the effect of solar and cosmic activity and the well-recognized 800-year global heating and cooling cycle, which keeps happening despite our completely insignificant efforts to affect climate change. And I do wish I had a silver lining to this volcanic ash cloud, but the fact of the matter is that the bush fire season across the western USA and Australia this year alone will negate your efforts to reduce carbon in our world for the next two to three years. And it happens every year.

Just remember that your government just tried to impose a whopping carbon tax on you, on the basis of the bogus ‘human-caused’ climate-change scenario. Hey, isn’t it interesting how they don’t mention ‘Global Warming’ anymore, but just ‘Climate Change’ – know why? It’s because the planet has COOLED by 0.7 degrees in the past century, and these global warming bull artists got caught with their pants down. And, just keep in mind that you might yet have an Emissions Trading Scheme – that whopping new tax – imposed on you that will achieve absolutely nothing except make you poorer. It won’t stop any volcanoes from erupting, that’s for sure.

But, hey, relax……give the world a hug and have a nice day!”

TIME TO WAKE UP TO THE POWER OF – SOVEREIGN WEALTH FUNDS.

03 Saturday May 2014

Posted by bobdillon33@gmail.com in Uncategorized

≈ Comments Off on TIME TO WAKE UP TO THE POWER OF – SOVEREIGN WEALTH FUNDS.

These funds are unwinding the Global balance and it is indeed time that we all cotton on.  If we don’t want our unborn to be born into a world that is sold to Privatisation. Modern day Slavery on a global scale 

Operating through Hedge Funds, Derivatives, Leverage buyout firms, real estate purchase, Speculators in the commodity futures market, Foreign currency, and god only knows in what else.

These Funds are impairing the spread of democracy as they are creating “Rentier States” where governments will not need their citizens to raise revenue.

They are offer protection to Authoritarian Regimes from the vicissitudes of the free market.

They will end up as weapons. Financial muscle in global power struggles.

They will change the equation of World cooperation, on trade , climate change and will eventually cause what I call a “Financial balance of terror or a Nuclear Financial threat.

If you don’t believe me.

Here a few items that a few SWFS own in Britain.

A consortium of Canadian SWFs currently own the Railway Link between London and the Channel Tunnel.

Blue Water Shopping Center owned by Singapore SWFs.

Kelda Group ( water and wast management) owned by Singapore SWFs.

Qatar SWFs owns:

20% of the London stock exchange.

20% of Camden Market.

6.67% of Barclay’s Bank

26% of Sainsburys.

The Olympic Village Buildings.

The Shard.

Chelsea Barracks and NI Hyde Park flats.

Harrods.

Swathes of Canary Wharf.

95% of all liquefied Gas supplied to Britain.

Heathrow Airport 10% China Investment Corp SWFSs

The recent Royal Mail sale.

On the list of priority investors were hedge funds and overseas sovereign wealth funds.  Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, Black Rock, Capital Research, Fidelity Worldwide, GIC, Henderson, JPMorgan, Kuwait Investment Office, Lansdowne Partners, Och Ziff, Schroders, Soros, Standard Life, Third Point and Threadneedle.

The proposed HS2 which is estimated to cost 800 million will be financed by SWFs.

There are now more people in the world than the world’s total population in 1950 living on less than a $1-$5 a day. 24 countries own 64% of the world wealth with only 15% of the world’s population.

If nothing is done to curb their growing power we can all be classified as FOOLS

Have a look at my Flipboard  Magazine ” Silent witness to Sovereign Wealth Funds.

PLAGUED BY CAPITALISM AND GLOBALISATION.

02 Friday May 2014

Posted by bobdillon33@gmail.com in Uncategorized

≈ 1 Comment

 

As feudalism was collapsing, a new way of extracting the surplus wealth from the direct producers had to be found. The invention of capitalism was the answer to this need. 

We are now living in a very unequal world and will continue doing so.

Here are a few thought provoking Quotes.

“Capitalism is that commercial system in which supply immediately answers to demand, and in which everybody seems to be thoroughly dissatisfied and unable to get anything he wants.” – How to Write a Detective Story, The Spice of Life.

“Business, especially big business, is now organized like an army. It is, as some would say, a sort of mild militarism without bloodshed; as I say, a militarism without the military virtues.” – The Thing.

“Price is a crazy and incalculable thing, while Value is an intrinsic and indestructible thing.” – Reflections on a Rotten Apple, The Well and the Shallows, 1935.

“The world will very soon be divided, unless I am mistaken, into those who still go on explaining our success, and those somewhat more intelligent who are trying to explain our failure.” – Speech to Anglo-Catholic Congress 6-29-20.

“The future is here, it’s just not evenly distributed yet.” It was a clever phrase when William Gibson coined it, but now it is well past its expiry date: it has become a lazy way to brush aside questioning voices. (85)

  1. The Internet makes communication cheaper, but it wrong to say it “democratizes the control of information”. (121)
  2. Facebook does not “want to strengthen the social ties that allow humans round the planet to connect, organize, converse, and share”

No hours contracts.  A form of modern day slavery.

 

 

There has never been such a high number of poor. By poor I dont just mean those living on $1-$5 a day I mean those deprived of opportunity in the World.
