Monopolies versus Huxley's Savage!

Europe seeks trade relations with the rising Latin America, because Europe cannot sustain itself.

Well, on the surface, fair enough. However, I suspect that it is in fact treating of the issue in an "upside-down" way....

All things considered, the "cost" in all terms; environmental, economic, social, criminal, and religious, cultural etc., of the current system of trade and relations, transport and satiation of desires, materialistic desires (frowned-upon by I, but accepted as part of the Human condition), is what "we" collectively, are paying, in the pending desecration of the planet, environment and a great deal of Life-on-Earth.

As there's no more real estate to grab and plunder, though the Aussie agents are still hard at it in Melanesia, Polynesia and all yet wholly colonised islands of the globe, and as the Human population is so BIG now, it is time we ALL got together and discussed now, the rather more glaring Issue of Human Distribution across not just a "greenbelt" suburb, but across a whole Planet.

Agrarian Socialism......

In "upside-UP" terms, contrary to what we have now, globally; rather than transport foodstuffs, commodities and other goods, repeatedly around the world to satisfy constant faraway demand, the REALPOLITIK Way to prevent the global enviro-social-et-al-et-al collapse, caused by this upside-down means of living, would be by migrating the necessary numbers of Human Beings out from regions, nations, islands etc., which are over-populated thus are not Self-Sustainable, to wherever they can sustain a life, a village, a Culture, without relying on transportation etc., beyond an allowable "Light Footprint" "weight" or level.

Emmigration from Europe, Britain, northern "Baltic"-type nations, regions, comes to mind.

U.S.A. Canada. Siberia?

"But ALAS? To where, Great Ancestor True Fella Spirit?"

Were we a Wise Human Mob?

For years I've wondered what makes people move to and settle in the most inhospitable climates. Social pressure seems to be one, in the form of already "appropriated" land. Usually appropriated by brutes with guns, and coppers and armies behind their big-money power. Brutes who somewhere realised the inestimable Value in the very dirt we walk on. Rah-rah-rah and Henry George.

That so many, and we may use Europe and much of north America as examples, have enhabited pretty-damn cold, inhospitable climates for centuries and longer, means, one), that the current descendants have acclimatised, genetically as much. However acclimatisation NOT in Sustainable ways, but by using Nature, as She has provided, to a now-deadly level of overuse.

I suggest no wrong in Europe's and America's (and Australia's for that matter)history - that's the way it seems to have to have gone.

But can Humanity LEARN from it?

The other aspect to Europe's long established inhabitants (whom I reckon we can call Aborigines of Europe), which is perhaps the greatest factor arguing against continued same-density of population, is that the cold climate means most inhabitants have to consume too-much energy to stay warm-enough to function etc. Totally-commercially-constructed, and totally unsustainable, is the "nuclear family" model, for it is the opposite to "economies of scale" by dividing-up all the necessities, etc. Nuclear families also make for the greatest consumption of energy, as Community Social models go.

Global warming is the point addressed here...

Same-same with Britain, Scandinavia etc.

This is said without considering the long-strides taken by those nations and located industries in Environment/Human Sustainability in such climes, but once more I suggest this may (at this important phase in Human-Eartha Relations), be addressing Sustainability upside-downly....

So, without radical REALPOLITIK REFORMS across the globe, a PRIORITY being legalisation of Cannabis and Industrial Hemp, the latter for it being a "prolific" renewable resource to replace petro-chemical oil-based, high pollutant products, from food to fuel, which will make Local regions surprisingly quickly, Self-Sufficient and Sustainable, I seriously doubt any other "Reform" will be worth it's salt, or worth even thinking about when it comes to the belated call to "SAVE THE WORLD"?

("Prolific" Hemp strikes me as in need of questioning, for I don't recall talk about the "weed" potential of legalised Hemp out-growing native and other vegetaions, etc? Jus' t' keep a Balance, y' unnerstand...?)

Another PRIORITY, as discussed above, I suspect, is the redistribution of the Human Global population to climates where we need to consume less energy to "function" and to Grow Sustainably in all the Best Senses.

Another PRIORITY is addressing "monopolies". Without going into it, as big an issue as monopolies are/is, Henry George wrote that monopolies really belong to the People, and so should be Nationalised.

I see the sense in this, but, as today's planet is so cartelised in more than just the global drugs blackmarket and thus everything else-sense, "Duopolies", Triopolies and up are as often monopolies of likeminded rogues, splitting the rude profits amongst their elite dynastic brotherhoods. ETCETERA.....

Coles versus Woolworths? Fair competition?? Faaaaarrrrrk-offfffffF!

Shell versus B.P.? Fair competition? Fair prices?

Microsoft?

Surely all motor vehicle industries or major manufacturers; Mercedes Benz, Ford, GM, etc, are sucking the same savaloy when it comes to maintaining the worst polluting market on Earth, and in Earth's history.......?

Surely at this level, the profits have long-out-weighed the, ANY Ethical, that-is SUSTAINABLE Limits?

I suspect many "in-the-know" believe the same-same ever-improving hi-tech lifestyle CAN be Sustained, through "technology". I'll take a shot and say that maybe, perhaps with a Hemp-plasticised commodity production-base, it is possible.

I take the approach that we don't need too much technology etc., to be Truly Satisfied and Communally Happy.

Agrarian Socialism....

With all this, one would expect I was down on Howard/Costello's "sell-off" of what should remain public assetts/property, Telstra, Medicare, etc.

Hmmm....

20 years or more ago, some wise monkey channelled through me, (I was chatting with my brother Don on ALP politics and the future of big money etc.,) that the day would come where all the BIG corporations, say the top 20%, would collapse, as unsustainable monoliths, whereupon government would be obliged to step in and buy the fucking lot at bargain-basement prices.

Back into the Public's Hands.

This may be what is deliberately happening across the planet in ownership of water resources, minerals and others, and is quite possibly part of the "Rhodes-ian" plan I've been scolding lately?

However, I feel sure they have been lacking a bit of Wisdom here-and-there, dare-I-say-that, myself being as much a product, patsy of their making, as I am....

So if world leaders of the latest "G-8" had their pennies invested Wisely, they'd negotiate "People Trade Relations" on an Open Global Market, based upon Scientific and Spiritual Evidence as to the "Best Spread" of the whole Human population across all current agriculturally employed and employable Land.

You wanna "Save the World"? For your Grandkids?

You wanna be a Human Being?

Who has the monopoly on global real estate?

Nationalise it, along with Cannabis and Heroin, et el!

Henry Keswick! Tony Blair! Hu Jintao! Condy Rice!

Without the Great Lord (The Greatest, no-less!) Standing-Up and drawing his Sword of Righteousness, bringing it down on pretty-much all sinners, there is a Powerful "feeling" that it is time such moves were mooted, discussed and processed, a.s.a.p.

NOT...., as frightening as the mind would have us believe......

Banks...? Arrest them, by making them take the monkey off our, everyone's back...

Local Councils under regional umbrella governments, under global Committee(s). Councils run on Land Rent, and pay the upper houses according to performance..........

Drop all borders......... Pull-down neighbourhood house fences......... Groups of ten.........

Agrarian Socialism...........

Economies of Scale.........



Lerrrrv,

The internet literate Green Man of Yore Myth.

Huxley's "Savage"!

Touch me in any Forest......
