THEY ARE PLUNDERING THE PLANET

High consumption levels and over exploitation for the sake of profit is continuing to destroy our beautiful planet.

I can hear you saying so what is new.

Nothing I suppose.

But anyone with any intelligence is and should be by now realizing  that with Climate Change we have constructed a materialistic civilization  that is addicted to ravishing its life support system.

The question is. Why is it that we seem unable to agree a plan?

The simple answer is the fear of profit impacts.

What is driving this fear? Unadulterated Greed.

This greed in recent years has taken a new form call Sovereign Wealth Funds.

These are State backed investment bodies that are roaming the globe in search of Profit.

Investment funds that are threatening the hierarchy of legal authority and if not capped will convert all our efforts to combat the ills of the world into commodities to be sold. Air, Water, Energy, CO2 Credits, you name it.

A Sovereign Fund by its definition behaves no different from the state it is appendix.

With such concentrations of economic power they subvert the power of civil rights and human rights.

There is no distinction between state and private interests. No one knows who takes decisions within SWF’s or what criteria they have other than to make profit.

If you think that in the Arab world ( where billions from oil revenue are in these Funds ) there are no contracts on an institution to institution, state to state, or enterprise to enterprise all are a person to person, not to mention Russia or China you would have reason to fear the Privatisation of the Globe by these Funds.

They are not going away but are becoming an increasingly powerful actor in the International Political System and world economy.

In developing Countries they are replacing the World Bank and the IMF ( which might not be a bad thing as both are somewhat dysfunctional in a World economy that is run by computer software programs)

They are now major players in the market economic power struggle using economic globalization ( which does not exclude private market participants from its system) to freely move capital around the world.

You can imagine what is going ( if it is not already happening ) to happen to countries that don’t have capital wealth.

These funds are taking on the characteristics of large aggregation of private economic power for profit for profit sake.

I am sure being Sovereign that they are not subject to tax on their profits. strong>

 

ARE YOU ONE OF THE MANIPULATED ?

Privatisation of our world is turning Democracy into an empty form of Political ideology.

Don’t get me wrong, Democracy as a political system out guns all other forms of governance.

Because it is a political system for choosing and replacing the government through free and fair elections.

Because it allows the active participation of the people, as citizens, in politics and civic life.

Because it endeavors to protection of the human rights of all citizens.

Because it is a rule of law, in which the laws and procedures apply equally to all citizens.

However, competitive return on Investment Capital is eroding the very essence of the blood given by hundred of thousands of our forefathers sacrifice’s in both world wars.

Why do I say this?    Because it is being Privatised right in front of our eyes for Profit.

Let me give you an example.

It is my belief that our elected representatives in Government ( how manage our hard earned taxes) are being hoodwinked by the Economy into thinking that every service and national resource operates better under market forces rather than state control.

I have nothing against a fair Profit on Investment but I do object to what I call Eternal Profits.

Lets say you build a Toll Bridge, or a Toll road requiring X billion in investment.

I am sure you would agree that the investment should have a fair return but not an Eternal One. The bridge or Road should revert to the nation and be free to its citizens or at least begin to add revenue at a reduced rate to Government coffers for future projects.

This is not happening with Sovereign Wealth Funds investment.  No only does the profit on return not stay in the country to create jobs or whatever it disappears to enhance the profits of the Fund in whatever country the fund happens to be based in.

This does not seem very democratic to me.  It is the duty of our elected representatives to protect its citizens from exploitation.

By handing control of national resources and services to private enterprise it is achieving quite the opposite. Just look at anything that has been sold into the marketplace.  Energy, Health Care, Water, Public transportation, Education.

But there is no generally accepted definition of Democracy but Oscar Wild might have it right when he said,

” Democracy mean simply the bludgeoning of the people by the people for the people”

We won’t be able to stop Sovereign Wealth Funds from Privatising our lives but surely as intelligent people s we should Cap their Investments.

The PLAN.

STAGE ONE:               CREATE A NEW WEBSITE

NAMED FOR EXAMPLE

SMART PHONE WORLD POWER.

OR.                 THE UNIVERSAL SMARTPHONE MOVEMENT

MAKE A DIFFERENCE WITH YOU SMART PHONE

THE OBJECTIVE OF THE WEB SITE.

1) TO FORMULATE; A PEOPLE’S OF THE WORLD UN RESOLUTION.

Example:

WE THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD (THE SPONSOR’S) MOVE THAT THE SECURITY COUNCIL ADOPT THE FOLLOWING DRAFT RESOLUTION.

THE UNITED NATIONS ON BEHALF OF THE WORLD’S PEOPLE IT REPRESENTS CALL ON ALL OF THE WORLD STOCK EXCHANGE ORGANIZATIONS TO IMPLEMENT AN

WORLD AID COMMISSION OF 0.00001%

ON ALL STOCK AND CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS AND SOVEREIGN WEALTH FUNDS ACQUISITIONS.

2)      TO COORDINATE/INFORM THE WEB SITE FOLLOWERS/SUBSCRIBERS. AS TO HOW AND WHEN AND WHERE TO SEND THEIR E MAILS OF SUPPORT.

MONITOR RESULTS.

GIVE A WORLD PLATFORM FOR DEBATE/DISCUSSION / SUGGESTIONS ON WHERE TO DIRECT PRESSURE NEXT.

THE DRAFT RESOLUTION WOULD SPONSOR:

A NEW UNITED NATIONS AID PROGRAMME: WITH ITS OWN WEB SITE AND DEDICATED TELEVISION STATION.

TO REPLACE THE EXISTING WORTHLESS INEFFECTIVE BEGGING PROGRAM THAT WE SEE APPEALING TO THE WORLD FOR FINANCE WHEN EVER THERE IS A NATURAL DISASTER.

THE NEW PROGRAM WOULD BE SELF FINANCING – TOTALLY TRANSPARENT.  NOT SUBJECT TO THE HUNDREDS OF PRESSURE NCO GROUPS AND THEIR LIKE.

HOW CAN IT BE SELF-FINANCING: By tapping into the one thing that Capitalism has at its heart Unrestricted Greed. I LET YOU DO THE MATHS.  0.00001% OF

 Trading in foreign exchange markets average                $5.3 trillion per day.

(Ref: Wikipedia April 2013)

World stock market Capitalization

(Ref: Dr Mark J Perry, A=IDEAs Jan 2013)                          $ 54 trillion.

Top 36 Sovereign wealth funds (SWF)                                 $ 6 trillion.

(Ref:Global Finance 2012 Rankings)

I RECOGNIZE AT THIS POINT AND TIME THAT THE PLAN LEAVES MANY QUESTIONS UNANSWERED:

 THIS SECOND POST IS INTENDED ONLY TO OUTLINE THE CONCEPT. THE NEXT POSTS WILL ADDRESS IN MORE DETAIL THE WORKINGS OF THE PLAN. 

 WHY A DEDICATED TV CHANNEL?

WHO WILL RUN THE WEB SITE?

HOW WILL THE FUNDS BE USED?

HOW TRANSPARENCY WILL BE ACHIEVED.

HOW CORRUPTION WILL BE STAMPED OUT.

WHO WILL RUN THE NEW PROGRAM?

HOW WILL THE PROGRAM DECIDE WHAT AID PROJECTS TO SUPPORT

ACCOUNTABILITY.

 It is said that when God revealed his holy name to Moses he said EHYEH ASHER EHYEH.

“I am what I am” PERHAPS TO BECOME our battle cry.

 “ You have just receive an e-mail/notification the first of billions from I am what I am.  A SUPPORTER NOT A VOICE THAT SCREAMS AND CRIES AND HEAR NO MORE.
