The whole of the global economy is based on supplying the cravings of two per cent of the world's population.

To feel good…
To know and be known
Is ego’s cravings.
To tempt men and forbid
Is woman’s cravings.
To pursue women
Is man’s high cravings.
To receive and respond
Is senses’ cravings.
To hope and imagine
Is mind’s cravings.
To pity and love
Is heart’s cravings.
Cravings must find their food
For humans to feel good.

Our view is that economic isolationism is the wrong way to go. Vibrant, successful growing economies that advance the interests of their citizens engage the global economy. And, we're committed to engaging the global economy.

40 per cent of the entire world’s catch
is invisible to fish sea management

the number of vessels and the amount
of time spent at sea continues to increase
but catches remain static decrease exit
more boats chase fewer fish to extinction point
world’s fish stocks are in crisis total 80 per cent
of world’s fisheries fully exploited over exploited
immature fish unregulated are unbred fast caught

Over-population
Over-population, Over-population
The masses engage in mass copulation
The gases of the masses spell out pollution
Let us condemn the nations!
Volcanoes spontaneously erupt
While the world is fundamentally corrupt
In the oceans, oil is spilled
And vast amount of sea life is killed
Every hour there is an earthquake
And numerous Lives’s are at stake
Global warming is storming Gods’ own creation
Whilst we give our politicians standing ovations
For speeches that they make on television
Let us condemn the nations!
For we all have a part to play
Oratory speeches we have heard before
Oratory speeches offer no man a cure
Men and women always want more and more
Long is the suffering future generations must all endure
Over-population, Over-population
Let us embark on a global mission
Embrace the one child policy as a future vision
Let us take steps in the right directions

Tears of Zimbabwe
Tears of Zimbabwe.
Genocide going on,
nothing being done.
Rest of world, richer nations,
turn a blind eye to the killing of generations.
Mugabe not checked,
There's'‘no oil' alone, he is left!
Millions with HIV
Unfolding tragedy.
Eighty per cent unemployed,
Economy is destroyed.
White lands seized,
henchmen do dastardly deeds.
All opposition crushed,
hopes of freedom dashed.
Foreign journalists banned,
population scared and scanned.
Total police state,
only the west holds it's fate!

The Incredible Shrinking Country
It’s become more and more evident that there
is a concerted effort by global oligarchs to emotionally,
and financially bankrupt the United States of America.
Wall Street bankers, Federal Reserve Bank, corrupt
Politicians and the Military/industrial complex
are the instruments of the destruction.
The “Derivatives” debacle created more debt than the
American people will ever be able to effectively reduce,
much less pay off.
Greed drew in other Countries that are now moving toward
or are already bankrupt. The “domino effect” threatens to
destroy global economy. Global elite have effectively enslaved
the World using debt.
To further globalist agenda;
Higher food and oil prices.
U.S. monopoly of dollars for oil no longer effective, as
Russia with its enormous oil reserves and production
is selling oil to Europe and China for Euros and gold.
The ultimate goals of the globalist elite include;
1. One world government
2. One world currency
3. One world religion
4. Control of world food production
5. Eugenics and reduction of world population
'He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666'

Henry Ford was right. A prosperous economy requires that workers be able to buy the products that they produce. This is as true in a global economy as a national one.

In the 'Nike Economy,' there are no standards, no borders and no rules. Clearly, the global economy isn't working for workers in China and Indonesia and Burma any more than it is for workers here in the United States.

No civilization can possibly survive to an interstellar spacefaring phase unless it limits its numbers. Any society with a marked population explosion will be forced to devote all its energies and technological skills to feeding and caring for the population on its home planet. This is a very powerful conclusion and is in no way based on the idiosyncrasies of a particular civilization. On any planet, no matter what its biology or social system, an exponential increase in population will swallow every resource. Conversely, any civilization that engages in serious interstellar exploration and colonization must have exercised zero population growth or something very close to it for many generations.

We are moving toward a global economy. One way of approaching that is to pull the covers over your head. Another is to say: It may be more complicated - but that's the world I am going to live in, I might as well be good at it.

Here's the truth. The proposed top rate of income tax is not 50 per cent. It is 50 per cent plus 1.5 per cent national insurance paid by employees plus 13.3 per cent paid by employers. That's not 50 per cent. Two years from now, Britain will have the highest tax rate on earned income of any developed country.

World Energy Crisis
Supplying world energy needs is a great challenge of our time.
So as aspiring populations explode it would no doubt be a crime
Not to harness the atom, empower the waves, as we beckon the sun
To provide all peoples a chance to rise up and someday be someone.
Also power of the winds, along with landfill gas and fossil fuels
Will provide an energy hungry world with indispensable tools.
World population of one billion was not generated until the year 1804.
Today it takes only twelve years to add another billion or more.
By 2050 this growth will result in 8-12 billion and stupendous energy need.
So answers must be discovered everyday for this future world to succeed.
