The Socio-Economic Control Paradigm...,
- As of late, I have heard many purport the belief that we are currently experiencing a problem with 'overpopulation'. I travel somewhat, not much, but to a significant degree whereas I've seen most of the United States. Ladies and Gentlemen, what we don't have...is a population problem - what we have is a CONCENTRATION problem...
- This issue has been compounded by several factors which, if continually supported, will not see an end to said issue...increasing the degree of social pathology that currently already exists. Let's cover a few points so that we can attain a broader degree of understanding regarding this concentration problem is, why it exists and why it's continually perpetuated...
- First of all, at the most basic level, is simply a matter of necessary resources. Centralized power and water make an erroneous profit encouraging more clients, though with current means of provision - outdated as they may be, the liklihood of a cataclysmic failure of said provisional facilities reaching critical mass becomes ever-increasingly self-evident. Anyone experiencing water-shortages and/or brown/blackouts know this is true. However...
- Corporate-controlled centralized utility facilities did not become established only to lose any of the current existing client base...to do so would incur a loss in profit, therefore, it is imperative that as many as possible are kept dependent upon said provisional facilities. That means alternative means of resource acquisition techinques (...such as solar and wind...) are detrimental to corporate controlled centralized utility facilities and it is best to oppose/suppress said alternative acquisition techniques - enforcing concentration over even distribution of the population in general.
- The second reason behind the current existing concentration problem is, of course, financial - jobs. In order for one to sustain oneself in today's current existing monetary-based society, one needs to be gainfully employed and jobs are scarce in rural America due to the recent outsourcing of manufacturing over the past few decades. In order to increase the liklihood of survival in a monetary-based economy, moving to urban locations is required...exhasperating the concentration problem. Establishing alternative, self-sustaining methods of resource acquisition would help establish jobs all over rural America, but please see the first clause for more information regarding thusly.
- The overall wealth of a particular State is also dependent upon population concentrations as Local/State Legislatures are paid via taxation of thier citizenry. Hence, it is benificial to encourage the current existing concentration problem by having a greater amount of tax revenue available for Local/State Legislatures. Of course, Federal tax revenues cover all of the United States and does not compound the concentration problem...however, in order to even have any taxable revenue - there have to be jobs, so Federal taxation does not encourage the disbursement of population concentrations either...
- The third reason (...quite suprisingly...) is political. With the current existing, albeit exceedingly outdated, 'electoral college' designed to be inherent within our political system, a State has as much influence in Congress as the State's existing population by the number of Representatives in The House of Representatives and the total number of electoral votes assigned to the respective States regarding Presidential elections. Therefore, in order to have a greater influence in Congress (...not to mention who gets elected as President...), States must find a way to maintain/increase population concentrations within thier State - California, Texas and New York are prime examples of this pathological concentration problem and why Local/State Legislatures do not want to encourage disbursement of said population concentrations...
- Control of necessary resources, by either moderating it's distribution to contaminating current existing resources, along with requiring our society to be dependent upon a monetary system in order to survive compounded with living in locations where one hopes to have at least -SOME- influence in our political process in Our Nation is what is known as a 'socio-economic control paradigm' - a system designed to control the populace with (...or without...) thier consent.
- It is made exceedingly, socially -UNACCEPTABLE- to consider alternative means of resource provision...why? To do so would inflict harm upon current existing, although outdated, methods of necessary resource acquisition...costing jobs and reducing the overall Gross National Product which is appended to verify the overall 'financial health' of a nation. To append self-sustaining means of resource acquisition is 'unpatriotic' because it is believed that establishing self-sustaining measures would ruin Local/State/National infrastructure via lack of tax revenue. Logical, self-sustaining measures that would benefit everyone are refuted in order to encourage the 'financial stability' of a land mass surrounded by non-existant borders.
- Is there any logical reason...not financial, not political, not social...but -LOGICAL- reason why we shouldn't work towards a sustainable society?...where everyone can have access to all necessary resources for survival?...food, clothing, shelter...a -RELEVANT- education? We can because we -ALREADY- produce enough to provide for the current existing population of Our Entire Planet. The amount of food waste generated by the United States of America -ALONE- could feed every single impoverished nation on Our Planet...-TWICE- over. This...is...absurd...
- It's not just America that produces an overabundance...third world nations produce enough clothing, annually, to leave no one on our planet without adequate provision via clothing as per thier current respective environment. This says nothing of the technological capacity we -CURRENTLY- possess in order to produce an -OVERABUNDANCE-. Hydroponic farming can elimate starvation globally...growing vertically instead of horizontally, saving thousands of acres wasted via current outdated farming practices and proceedures, eliminating the 'need' for costly petroluem-based pesticides in the process.
- A majority of manufacturing is automated regarding complex products and production such as the food, cars and computers - the cell phone industry is a prime example of this. Despite the unregulated waste production being wisely marginalized/reduced...few to no human hands go into mass-production, so why is it that when we can produce an OVERABUNDANCE...-CONSISTANTLY-, that we have this glaring social disparity...and denial of access to necessary resources required for survival? Does it make any actual, logical sense?
- Do we have an overpopulation problem?...-NO-, We DO -NOT-. What we have is a problem with the current existing monetary-based economy. The reason behind this is because if fiat currency is not circulated...Federal/State/Local Governments would have no tax revenue and an infrastructure based upon a monetary based economy -WILL COLLAPSE- if it tries to append the wellfare of it citizenry. Therefore, 'austerity measures' are ordained to incur the -REDUCTION- of the overall population, balancing the overall population with the current existing 'job market', which is where the insipid and boorish ideology of 'overpopulation' is derived...putting fiat currency (...which is based on -NOTHING- of actual value...) and the 'financial health' of Our Nation over the livlihood and future of Our...OWN...-CHILDREN-.
- Despite the obvious direction we should be heading - the narrow-minded and short-sighted heads of industry, government and financial sectors want to maintain the current existing 'socio-economic control paradigm'...because -THEY- are supported by it and do not want to relinquish the current existing system because they enjoy manipulating the masses so that they do not have to 'pay to live' even though everyone else who is NOT in thier position -MUST-...or else.
- We, actually, don't have to keep going this direction...we don't have to continue supporting this 'socio-economic control paradigm' (...such as the fractional reserve banking system which has been designed to acquire more then it distributes via 'interest'...). We -CAN- establish a self-sustaining society, but it takes a critical mass of awareness amongst the population...it takes understanding that life, in and of itself, is not based on the infrastructure of a nation but the health and wellfare of it's citizenry - a direction that is currently being abandoned for 'economic steps'.
- Please review the information provided by Jacque Fresco, Founder of The Venus Project located in Venus, Florida for a verifiable alternative - a resource based economy. We -CAN- have a future...for every man, woman and child on -OUR- Planet: Gaia...this 'Pale Blue Dot' we call Earth.
Thank you for your time,
