100% + 13months = 1000 years
This is a monthly
update on my blog from January the 1st 2012 which was
snappily entitled: anopenlettertothe100percent.blogspot.com which brought you here.
On Jan 1st
2013 – I posted a quick update via my webcam on the 100% blog with
the good news that came in the last 12 months which somehow got lost
among all the doom and gloom present in the 'mainstream' media.
One question: Seeing
as how more information currently passes through the internet on a
person to person basis or person to many via social networks and
viral memes and videos than could possibly be ever given via all the
news channels put together, who is the actual mainstream now?
I propose to you that
it is us; those people who switched off the television and got
communicating.
Back to the point of
this month's update; words and pictures this time, I promise.

Well, just like January
1st the good news just keeps on coming but somehow the
industry leaders and economic thinkers of the world all descended on
Davos in Switzerland to huddle together and confer (Translation:
Party like Romanovs on speed.) after which, they came back with the
same patter: “Austerity is beginning to work and there is some
small hope of a recovery if we continue on the same path and take the
medicine.”
How's Austerity going for you? Me, neither. Austerity is simply a
cull of the uppity middle classes.
So, the politicians,
economists, actuaries and industrialists are not the solution. They
never could be, because the means by which they hold power are the
very means that is actively destroying our world's ability to support
us. The world in which they hold all the cards is melting faster than
the polar ice caps and they know it. Like a six year old who hasn't thought it through just don't know how to get out of this lie.
Here's what they should
really be debating in Davos once the champagne, canapé and cocaine
induced megalomania clears:
- In the last 50-100 years our planet lost on third of its vertebrate species. This rate of extinction is still increasing.
- The planet is heating up and weather events are becoming more violent as witnessed over the last three months.
- Our natural fuel resources are running out to the point where we actually are sacrificing the land and water we need to survive just to extract less than a decade's worth of gas from shale and tar sands.
- We have shamelessly neglected international justice and human rights in former subject nations. Result: implacable enmity among nuclear powers, international terror campaigns and a profound mistrust of the western system of justice which will not easily go away. If we create a sewer, we must expect rats.
- We have given rights to fictional 'persons' and simultaneously stripped our own species of any rights, dignity and hope.
- Our food and water chain is impossibly degraded with toxins, bacterial infections and pollutants. Super bugs predicted less than a decade ago are already here even in the most developed of nations.

And I DO mean 'We' and not 'Them'...
We who cling to our democratic power of the vote and our
economic might of purchasing choice. Like that's going to stop anything!
How democratically powerful
did you feel over the last 12 months knowing that only two political
parties in the US may contest a presidential election?
That nations
who voted against further EU powers were told to vote again and get
it right?
How economically powerful do you feel now you are forced to buy
shop brand food (industrially processed by economic serfs, laden with
dangerous chemicals and, in the case of animal husbandy, just down
right cruel and perverted) to meet the household budget?
One year and thirty
days ago I wrote: “We are trapped in a herd which will probably
kill us.”
I was wrong.
We are
trapped in a herd which will definitely kill us, if we allow it.
Then as now I proposed
a peaceful and viable solution. I explained the principles of this
new way, I explained the system of trade using energy as a currency
which would empower every person to generate his or her own wealth
and guarantee a life of abundance to the next generation of human
beings. I revealed a vision of our future in harmony with the
mechanism of our world and our galaxy.
I even gave it a name: Zodi.
Many people read my
blog and began to think critically about the Platonic cave we live
within. Many did not read my blog but they have experienced "WTF?" moments in their own lives and have searched for small, home-tech
solutions to the energy crisis, the political crisis, the financial
crisis and the judicial crisis. We have an established class of
people who are still being called 'activists' as opposed to
'freethinkers' by the frankly perfidious media.
So I'm going to
reiterate my post with some handy updates and speak more specifically
about what needs to happen over the next 10 years without delay.
Delay kills more of those very vital species we will soon need.
Here are my solutions
for the next decade: If even three of these happen within the next
ten years then this coming decade will be remembered as 'the dawn of
a golden age'.
What we need to do
immediately:
- Prioritize the search for clean energy abundance above all other interests. With abundant clean energy comes the means to undo much of the damage we have caused. Fossil fuels do nothing but harm.
- Start building consumer durable items that are designed away from dependence on fossil resources and non recyclable materials. Actually, don't start building...build!
- Prioritize the peace between nations (seeing as it's such a wrench to leave the herd altogether), failing that, scrap the concept of exclusive nationality and allow people the right to multiple nationalities and freedom to leave societies that terrorize them. .
- Prioritize political stability for all by focussing upon the brewing injustices and corrupting regimes in the developing and developed world. The continual fire fighting that we currently engaged in is a serious and unsustainable drain on resources and wealth. Nip all these conflicts in the bud by arbitration in a peace forum and both or all at the same time...
- Attack the money of any agency, nation, industry or ideology which seeks to impose its goals upon other peoples by force and proxy war. Again, this includes developed nations as well as developing. We must make war unprofitable!
- Encourage cross cultural fertilization wherever possible. The scientific community does this already and look what strides they have made. We are all capable of this. 15 year old schoolgirls in Lagos, Nigeria developed an engine that runs on human urine. Why have they not been invited to the DuPont Labs or MIT?
- Encourage more social contact hours between all adults. Energy abundance will change the concept of labour and pay forever. “Get a job!” will be soon be replaced with “Develop a life path!” adapt to that. The workforce must have a chance to learn how to deal with less labour intensive jobs and more socially connected work. Any age group can do this and people even enjoy it. Let's work for us and not for a fantasy called 'the consumer'.
- Use a wider, more positive future vision for all decisions taken from now in the personal sphere right up to the global sphere. We have a bright and long future ahead of us. WWIII is not inevitable and there really are no zombies!
- Ensure the concept of economy is integrated into the wider vision of human destiny to expand out from this world and to ultimately colonise many, many worlds.
Please, no more Austerity, it is a sticking plaster for a financial gunshot wound. The banks have been bailed out but they will fail again. Banks should be free to trade like everyone else in energy an open energy market to replace their present failing markets such as.... - The International Bond Market – I just couldn't make this up, a market where governments sell their unpaid debts to speculators? National Debt is not a commodity to be traded. It is simply doping unfit economies beyond their capacity to repay and stealing from our children. Our descendants will NOT pay these bonds, these are junk bonds. Please stop doping economies. If speculators want a stake in any country, they should invest in private infrastructure projects.
- Impose a universal standard for plug in plug out rechargeable batteries for electrical cars so that the motor industry is kick-started into action building away from fossil fuel dependency and converting existing fossil fuel vehicles. If we did it in the 80's with catalytic converters we can do it now.
What we need to stop doing immediately: - Borrowing from each other with imaginary money. It's not real wealth.
- Impoverishing our populations to pander to a skittish and worthless financial game. If the stock exchanges of the world ceased to exist tomorrow. What would change? Nothing.
- Referring back to previous wars. If you didn't fight in it, move on. Nationality is not guide to ethics and morality.
- Respecting past structures which are incapable of survival in an energy and information abundant world. We don't have workhouses, debtor prisons and dark, satanic mills any more so it can be done.
- Assuming that future generations will support our current wasteful lifestyles, they won't. They will have bigger challenges to face and they need all the resources and energy we can give them..
- Pandering to the threat of legal action from vested interests out to block change, these interests will find other ways to feather their nests. Don't worry about them.
- Playing to an increasingly dangerous and violent geopolitical endgame. I refuse to die to enrich some self appointed master of the world or empire builder and, given the choice, I suspect at least six billion other people are with me.
To our leaders: Here
is an agenda for you. Digest and get to work.
In order of urgency:
- A universal review of business and industry – especially with regards to trading licences. Commercial licenses will now be subject to 'points' and revoking of trading rights of those organisations which have cause harm to human beings, water tables, air quality, flora and fauna, weather systems and political stability in the entire world. Car drivers receive points on their license and are banned from driving if they are reckless, dangerous or unfit to drive – the same now should happen for the drivers of our economies and our world.
- The signing of an International Biosphere Viability Treaty in which degradation of our biosphere is outlawed and this ban is enforced with military power if necessary. This is a greater world emergency than nuclear weapons proliferation, drugs and extreme religion combined. It really is that urgent.
- The profit motive being banned from any biosphere critical system – this includes energy generation, military research and resource gathering. Again, profiteering at the planet's expense is an act of mass destruction and cannot be tolerated by the International Community. This damage is being inflicted upon our work over money which has a fluid value at best and no value in reality. All profit is imaginary.
- Editing the Internal Combustion Engine out of the developed world. Electrical solutions are now currently available for all small to mid sized engines (including trucks). Hydrogen engines are available for large scale vehicles such as Air Transport and Construction and Military vehicles. - A note to the world's military: if you are dependent on fossil fuels to engage in war, you have already lost that war.
- Get serious on Energy Development. The materials are to hand. Wind, Solar, Wave, Thermal exchange, Hydroelectric are all available to be invested in since the 70's. Open up the energy market to small, medium and national organisations now and let's generate some real wealth.
- Develop better 21st Century Solutions to the energy question: kinetic energy, fusion energy, exo-planetary energy and bioforce energy. It's the third millennium and it's incumbent upon us to ensure our species sees a fourth.
- Pledge to provide positive energy abundance for all to be guaranteed free from profiteering and, from that base, guarantee healthy food, clean water, free heat/cooling, appropriate shelter, security and education for all for the next 1000 years. If the Romans could do it so can we.
- Upgrade education as a motive force for human ingenuity and creativity and not as an inculcation process into any current status quo (which are all corrupt and inherently ephemeral). If we do not allow for our natural problem solving capacity to flow the sake of outmoded prejudices and 'traditions' we will surely perish having denied ourselves those necessary breakthroughs that would have alleviated the pressure upon our biosphere.
- Analyse the causes and encourage the reconciliation of aggrieved parties in all conflicts on the planet. If it's important enough for them to kill for it then it is important enough for the international community to analyse and take all escalating factors out of the equation. (Investment into the conflict by outside agencies, governments, movements and private investors). This is real life, not Risk. End politically motivated tolerance of any developed world imperialism. Which leads to...
- Disband the UN Security council as the not-fit-for-purpose nuclear club it is and head straight to arbitration between belligerents with the weight of complete UN intervention as mandatory. This is not open to a vote. Atrocity renders the legality of a belligerent's agenda null and void. The days of raising vast armies to fight in attrition wars to satisfy the ambitions of individuals, governments and ideologies is now gone. Nobody alive today or born from this moment on will ever be considered legally liable to die for any cause. Conscripting humans against their will into a war machine musr be considered the same as slavery and an act of internal civil war.
- An audit of the military and industrial complex to ensure compliance with the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. You read that right. If those making money from the slaughter of humanity don't like this they should look at the greater gains available in the point below. If we aren't fighting one another then what use can we make of all these technologies? How about.....?
- Establish a planetary space exploration and exploitation agency as well as a planetary defence force to be supported by 1% of world wealth. We are in the space age whether we choose to believe it or not. let's treat this like any other critical world business because all the resources humanity could possibly ever need lie just beyond Mars.
- Change the political mindset for ever and embrace unified existence without the need for nations, inward targeted military conflicts and borders. Pave the way for a third millennium system of living for everyone. Be the generation who dared to change the world. Because change is coming anyway and being the generation who chickened out and stole from their kids isn't nearly as impressive.
Right, that's the
scolding over with, now for the good news:
We have solar power generating windows!
We have electric
supercars!
We have ceramics that
are as reliable as metals!
We have programmable
nano tech!
We have even more viable exo
planets than last month.
We have a breakthrough
in energy to mass conversion. (Making matter weightless)
We have 3D Printers! (with which some people are printing guns o-O )
We have never occupied a moment in history with such rich potential. A millennium of unfettered human discovery and expansion beckons. Enough with the doom and gloom. Enough with narrow national interest. Enough with 'divide and conquer', Julius Caesar became a dictator and a tyrant thus he was rightly stabbed to death in the forum.
After Caesar, Rome got on just fine.
After Bilderburg, IMF, World Bank and ECB, this planet will do just fine.
