Mankind Will Not Survive the Present Age

Theorists assert that, as a civilization grows larger and becomes more advanced, its energy demands will increase rapidly due to its population growth and the energy requirements of its various machines. With this in mind, the Kardashev scalewas developed as a way of measuring a civilization’s technological advancement based upon how much usable energy it has at its disposal. The Kardashev scale consists of six levels of civilization attainment (o-5). The earth finds itself at the end of Type 0.

This paper also concerns itself with the reasons why mankind lacks the resources to transition from Type 0 to Type 1. This paper will also make it clear why mankind has a 95% chance of perishing in this transition. First, let’s trace the path of human societal development that has brought us to the crisis point that we are at today.

The Five Subdivisions of Type 0 Civilization 

At the upper echelon of human development, mankind has entered the Post-Industrial period. However, economic disparity has kept some on the planet at a level of the hunter gatherer.  The following five societal categorizations represent the rite of passage that we must pass through to leave Type 0 and enter into a Type 1 civilization.

Hunter-Gatherer

Hunter-gatherer societies demonstrate the strongest dependence on the environment of the various types of preindustrial societies. As the basic structure of human society until about 10,000–12,000 years ago, these groups were based around kinship or tribes. Hunter-gatherers relied on their surroundings for survival as they hunted wild animals and foraged for uncultivated plants for food. When resources became scarce, the group moved to a new area to find the resources related to survival, which meant tht they were nomadic. Hunter-gatherer groups were common in the United States at the time of European settlement of the North American continent. It is incredulous to believe that the greed of the present banker imposed economic disparity still produces a number of hunter-gatherers on the planet.

Pastoral

Changing conditions and adaptations led some societies to rely on the domestication of animals where circumstances permitted. Approximately 7,500 years ago, human societies began to recognize their ability to tame and breed animals and to grow and cultivate their own plants.

Unlike earlier hunter-gatherers who depended entirely on existing resources to stay alive, pastoral groups were able to breed livestock for food, clothing, and transportation, creating a surplus of goods. Herding, or pastoral, societies remained nomadic because they were forced to follow their animals to fresh feeding grounds. Around the time that pastoral societies emerged, specialized occupations began to develop, and societies commenced trading with local groups.

At the time of the American Revolution, most of the colonists were pastoral in nature. When the elite deny technology to much of the planet, some people remain mired in a pastoral society.

Agricultural

While pastoral and horticultural societies used small, temporary tools such as digging sticks or hoes, agricultural societies relied on permanent tools for survival. Around 3000 B.C.E., an explosion of new technology known as the Agricultural Revolution made farming possible into an economic system and it became profitable.  Technology exploded as new tools for digging and harvesting were made of metal, making them more effective and longer lasting. Human settlements grew into towns and cities, and particularly bountiful regions became centers of trade and commerce.

This is also the age in which people had the time and comfort to engage in more contemplative and thoughtful activities, such as music, poetry, and philosophy. This period became referred to as the “dawn of civilization”. Craftsmanship, as a viable occupation became common.

The agriculture society also witnessed the rise of social classes and it is usually divisive. Those who had more resources could afford better living and developed into a class of nobility. Difference in social standing between men and women increased. As cities expanded, ownership and preservation of resources became a pressing concern.

Most of America’s 19th century was dominated by agricultural interests.

Industrial Society

In the 18th century, Europe experienced a dramatic rise in technological invention related to production and the manufacturing of goods. This ushered in an era known as the Industrial Revolution.

Within a generation, tasks that had until this point required months of labor became achievable in a matter of days. Before the Industrial Revolution, work was largely person- or animal-based, relying on human workers or horses to power mills and drive pumps. In 1782, James Watt and Matthew Boulton created a steam engine that could do the work of 12 horses by itself.

Rather than planting and harvesting fields by hand, farmers were able to purchase mechanical seeders and threshing machines that caused agricultural productivity to soar. Products such as paper and glass became available to the average person, and the quality and accessibility of education and health care soared. Gas lights allowed increased visibility in the dark, and towns and cities developed a nightlife.

One of the results of increased productivity and technology was the rise of urban centers. Workers flocked to factories for jobs, and the populations of cities became increasingly diverse. The new generation became less preoccupied with maintaining family land and traditions, and more focused on acquiring wealth and achieving upward mobility for themselves and their family. It is a time that inspired Karl Marx to take note of the financial exploitation of the masses by the few.And this exploitation normally came in the form of central banking.

Industrialization led to a thirst for natural resources which, in turn, led to an increase in wars. As the technology increased so did the number of deaths resulting from wars.  Technology is usually first obtained by the military and used to subjugate enemies. The power of government became increasingly dominated by the elite and governments subsequently killed more people than died in wars in the 20th century.

John D. Rockefeller became the symbol for industrial greed and oppression of the many by the few. At the time of his death, John D. Rockefeller made a penny for every dime made in America. Rockefeller and Rothschild interests became the seat of power for all modern governments which came to be dominated by central banking interests.

Postindustrial Society

Information societies, sometimes known as postindustrial or digital societies, are a recent development. Unlike industrial societies that are rooted in the production of material goods, information societies are based on the production of information and services.

Digital technology is the life blood of information societies. Since the economy of information societies is driven by knowledge and not material goods, power lies with those in charge of storing and distributing information. Members of a postindustrial society are likely to be employed as sellers of services and software programmers or business consultants, for example. However, the producers of goods still exist, it is just that they exist in third world labor markets to take advantage of cheap labor. Social classes are divided by access to education, since without technical skills, people in an information society lack the means for success.

The hallmark characteristic of this period is the full development of Uranium 235. Nuclear power holds the promise to make cheap energy available across the planet. However, this same power could be used destroy humanity. The United States has enough nuclear weapons to destroy the entire planet several times over. A nuclear war would produce a condition called “nuclear winter” in which the rising dust, resulting in the aftermath of the discharge of nuclear weapons, would blanket the earth and would prevent sunlight from reaching the earth. Crops would fail and humanity would starve to death. If you ever wondered why the elite have seed banks in Norway and underground safety enclaves under Denver International Airport, now you know why. The elite know what is coming.

Humanity is near the end of Type 0, the rite of passage into a Type 1 civilization is not guaranteed. In fact, the odds are against any Type 0 making the transition to Type 1.

This brings us to the end of the Type 0 civilization. In order to transition into a Type 1, there are certain prerequisites which must be met:

1. The development of a universal and planetary language. Today, English is the business language of the planet. 

2. The development of a global communications system. The rapidly expanding Internet would comprise the backbone of that system. 

3. The development of one economic system. Through digital currency, the world is close to this inevitability, however, the system is in the hands of psychopaths who think nothing of killing billions in wars of occupation. 

4. The development of a one-world government. Again, the banking interests on the planet dominate the governmental processes and this renders government to being the manifestation of evil and oppression. 

5. The development of technology which enables complete control of the weather and this would make droughts and other devastating weather occurrences a thing of the past. 

6. The development of space travel. Extinction level events such as comets and asteroids are always going to be a part of earth’s future. The development of advanced space travel allows for the people of the earth to meet these celestial challenges.

7. All regions of the planet must be at the same relative level of economic development and political autonomy in order to willingly embrace a Type 1 civilization. Today, approximately 80% of the GDP of the planet is dominated by less than 1% of the people and this underlies an economic disparity which will prevent the world from universally and willingly ushering in a New World Order. 

8. Intelligent and moral leadership would form the unifying bonds of collaborative leadership needed to peacefully bring this diverse planet together. 

With regard to points 7 and 8, mankind fails miserable. Today, the political and economic leadership on the planet is horribly immoral and devoid of a sense of justice and empathy with regard to the suffering of  most of the people on the planet, of which, 75% live in poverty. The avarice and evil that dominates the leadership of the planet make the collectivization of power on this planet horribly evil and corrupt. No sane person should embrace globalization in any form. Rather than planetary unification lifting people up through unification, unification will involve enslaving the masses and promises to bring great destruction to the many. This is why globalism is equated with tyranny, evil, greed, corruption, genocide and ultimately, satanism.

Type 1 Civilization

Firstly, it is important to note that the human race is not even on this scale yet. Since we still sustain our energy needs from dead plants and animals, here on Earth, we are a lowly Type 0 civilization. The preeminent physicist Michio Kaku believes we will reach Type I in 100 – 200 years time.

Dr. Kaku also believes that mankind on the planet earth has a 5% chance of achieving a  Type I designation. Kaku and other scientists believe that destruction of mankind is inevitable because of Uranium 235 and a series of chemical and biological weapons and the inevitable use of these terrible weapons in the name of acquiring more resources through wars designed to bring about planetary unification.

Interestingly, the folklore (e.g. Hopi, India, Chinese)  on the planet would have us believe that mankind has risen up before, achieved a lofty technological status only to be crushed and leaving mankind to rebuild civilization. Whether that is true or not, I agree with Dr. Kaku that mankind does not have the morality and integrity that would be needed to transition into a Type 1 civilization.

Globalism Is Inherently Evil

Globalism should be opposed by all the non-elite with every fiber in our collective being. Most of us will not survive the age that we live in. Mankind is on a one-way trip to ultimate destruction.

What does Revelations say would happen to the earth if Jesus did not intervene? What does Revelations say about the coming casualty rates as the anti-Christ attempts to establish global governance? Three out of four of us are not going to make it according to the bible. Humanity had better hope that the Bible is accurate.  For if it is not, none of us are going to survive the transitional period that we find ourselves in.

At the end of the day, we have nobody to blame but ourselves for the mess that we find ourselves in. If we, as a human race, possessed morality and integrity, we would accept nothing less from our leaders. But if  we continue to cheat on our spouses and swindle our business competitors, then we are no better than the Rockefellers and Rothschilds who dominate life on this planet. We have ultimately done this to ourselves. Meanwhile, we wait for divine intervention to fix what lack the moral resources to repair.

We are going to global War

By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com

Financial analyst/trader Gregory Mannarino says forget about the recent positive economic news. The economy is not in recovery and there is a simple way to prove it. Mannarino says, “All you need to do is look at two metrics, just two, and you can see there is no economic recovery. One of them is the money velocity. That’s the rate that cash is moving through an economy. We are at historic lows here. We also have a labor force participation rate at a three decade low. So, please explain to me how we can have a recovery without those two simple metrics.” Mannarino goes on to say, “They’re going to do things to prop this dollar up . . . with regard to bringing us to war, more spending on the military and equipment to fight this new war. This is all going to be added to GDP.”

On the fact more war is going to explode the debt and deficit, Mannarino says, “The debt doesn’t matter . . . all they are determined to do is hyper and super hyper-inflate the debt bubble because this is the foundation of our economic model. It is a debt based economic model. It demands that cash be borrowed into the system in perpetuity. It cannot stop. Once we stop or admit we have a debt problem—implosion time. They are going to look for every single excuse to borrow this cash into existence. They waited for the right time to do this new war. They waited for the beheadings to happen so they could get the American people behind spending more. This is what this is about. It’s about spending into oblivion. That’s where we are, and again, we are hyper-inflating that bubble in debt which parallels the population boom and a human bubble. In fact, it is the greatest threat to humankind period.”

On the stock market, Mannarino says, “The market is still going to go higher here . . . The European Central Bank will, without a doubt, be instituting full on Federal Reserve style quantitative easing. They’re already half way there. They are buying assets from the banks. They have negative interest rates. Does this sound familiar?” So, is this a way to counter Russia cutting gas supplies and raising prices by simply printing money? Mannarino says, “Without any doubt, this is exactly what they are going to do. They are not going to allow the economy to falter. Mario Draghi came out and said he will do whatever it takes. This is what they are going to do over there, and that’s what is going to push the markets higher.”

It’s all about propping up the western economy, and Mannarino goes on to say, “War is part of the mechanism of propping this entire thing up, and it’s going to get much worse. Anyone out here has to understand what is going on here; it’s a scramble for resources. We are witnessing the decimation of the middle class. A two-tier society is being created, and it will span the globe, unfortunately. They need to push this higher to foster this wealth transfer that is going on. With negative interest rates, anyone with a savings account is being robbed here.”

What happens when the money printing stops working? Mannarino says, “War, we are going to global war. This is the next step here. It is the natural progression of where they are taking us now. This new war we have in Syria, and Iraq is going to get much, much worse here.”

Ukraine sends new military equipment to east

The Ukrainian government has sent new military equipment to the eastern parts of the country.

On Tuesday, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk inspected the new armored vehicles during a visit to a base for National Guard soldiers near the capital, Kiev.

The new equipment includes armored vehicles with off-road capability.

The nearly 5,000 Ukrainian troops at the base also received new winter gear.

Ukraine’s mainly Russian-speaking regions in the east have witnessed deadly clashes between pro-Moscow forces and the Ukrainian army since Kiev launched military operations to silence pro-Russians in mid-April.

Violence intensified in May after the two flashpoint regions of Donetsk and Luhansk held local referendums in which their residents voted overwhelmingly in favor of independence from Ukraine.

On September 5, a truce was agreed between representatives from the Ukrainian government and pro-Russian forces to pave the way for an end to the crisis in the country's eastern regions.

The United Nations says over 3,500 people have been killed during the conflict in eastern Ukraine.

Kiev and its Western allies have repeatedly accused Moscow of destabilizing Ukraine by supplying arms to the pro-Russian forces, but the Kremlin denies the accusation.

Obama’s Chief Of Staff Caught Shaking Hands With Muslim Terrorist

In 2012, Denis McDonough, the man who would later be promoted to Chief of Staff to President Barack Obama was photographed in Doha, Qatar shaking hands and consorting with a known terrorist. The man McDonough was seen pressing flesh with is Sheikh Abdullah bin Bayyah, a deputy to Muslim Brotherhood’s spiritual leader Yusuf al-Qaradawi. Al-Qaradawi was banned from the U.S. in 1999 and now lives in Qatar.

McDonough and Bayyah with Rashad Hussain on far right.

The occasion of the meeting between Bayyah and McDonough was that both men were featured speakers at the 2012 U.S.-Islamic World Forum (US-IWF), held annually in Doha, Qatar. Yes, McDonough and the Deputy of an virulently anti-Semitic terrorist shared a stage. It is an event co-sponsored by the Brookings Institute and the nation of Qatar. At the time the above photos were taken, bin Bayyah was the Deputy Head of the Union of Muslim Scholars, with al-Qaradawi as the Head. Bayyah’s bio also listed him as being a member of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC).

One of the primary objectives of the OIC is to suppress and ultimately eliminate any speech or expression critical of Islam. Where it can’t be outright criminalized, as Hillary Clinton said at one of the group’s “Istanbul Process” meetings, then we need…

“…to use some old-fashioned techniques of peer pressure and shaming, so that people don’t feel that they have the support to do what we abhor.”

As Obama’s envoy to the OIC, Rashad Hussain has more than once echoed this sentiment. Bin Bayyah’s membership in OIC places all of these individuals at the center of a shared agenda. That agenda was engaged in the days after the Benghazi attack when a video was blamed, less than four months after the aforementioned meeting attended by McDonough and bin Bayyah.

In June of 2013, bin Bayyah was at the center of controversy when he visited the White House. How could the deputy of a Muslim Brotherhood terrorist banned from the U.S. not only find his way into America but into the White House? In this photo, bin Bayyah is seated at a table with several others, including Rashad Hussain:

A few months later, bin Bayyah formally resigned his position as al-Qaradawi’s deputy. Bin Bayyah was the center of attention again, thanks to the U.S. State Department, which tweeted a link to bin Bayyah’s website, at which he condemned the actions of Boko Haram, relative to the #BringBackOurGirls campaign that was conspicuously launched as the House Select Committee on Benghazi was announced.

As the timeline published by Shoebat.com illustrates, the #BringBackOurGirls campaign was clearly launched to distract attention away from Benghazi. The decision to link to bin Bayyah’s website was presented by the State Department as a mistake but it too was likely another log on the distraction fire.

Then, last week, Barack Obama himself touted bin Bayyah while speaking at the United Nations. Doing so likely took a little attention off the fight with ISIS.

"If Something Rattles This Ponzi Scheme, Life In America Will Change Overnight"

I know that headline sounds completely outrageous.  But it is actually true.  The U.S. government is borrowing about 8 trillion dollars a year, and you are about to see the hard numbers that prove this.  When discussing the national debt, most people tend to only focus on the amount that it increases each 12 months.  And as I wrote about recently, the U.S. national debt has increased by more than a trillion dollars in fiscal year 2014.  But that does not count the huge amounts of U.S. Treasury securities that the federal government must redeem each year.  When these debt instruments hit their maturity date, the U.S. government must pay them off.  This is done by borrowing more money to pay off the previous debts.  In fiscal year 2013, redemptions of U.S. Treasury securities totaled $7,546,726,000,000 and new debt totaling $8,323,949,000,000 was issued.  The final numbers for fiscal year 2014 are likely to be significantly higher than that.

So why does so much government debt come due each year?

Well, in recent years government officials figured out that they could save a lot of money on interest payments by borrowing over shorter time frames.  For example, it costs the government far more to borrow money for 10 years than it does for 1 year.  So a strategy was hatched to borrow money for very short periods of time and to keep "rolling it over" again and again and again.

This strategy has indeed saved the federal government hundreds of billions of dollars in interest payments, but it has also created a situation where the federal government must borrow about 8 trillion dollars a year just to keep up with the game.

So what happens when the rest of the world decides that it does not want to loan us 8 trillion dollars a year at ultra-low interest rates?

Well, the game will be over and we will be in a massive amount of trouble.

I am about to share with you some numbers that were originally reported by CNS News.  As you can see, far more debt is being redeemed and issued today than back during the middle part of the last decade...

2013

Redeemed: $7,546,726,000,000

Issued: $8,323,949,000,000

Issued: $4,459,341,000,000

Increase: $161,472,000,000

The only way that this game can continue is if the U.S. government can continue to borrow gigantic piles of money at ridiculously low interest rates.

And our current standard of living greatly depends on the continuation of this game.

If something comes along and rattles this Ponzi scheme, life in America could change radically almost overnight.

In the United States today, we have a heavily socialized system that hands out checks to nearly half the population.  In fact, 49 percent of all Americans live in a home that gets direct monetary benefits from the federal government each month according to the U.S. Census Bureau.  And it is hard to believe, but Americans received more than 2 trillion dollars in benefits from the federal government last year alone.  At this point, the primary function of the federal government is taking money from some people and giving it to others.  In fact, more than 70 percent of all federal spending goes to "dependence-creating programs", and the government runs approximately 80 different "means-tested welfare programs" right now.  But the big problem is that the government is giving out far more money than it is taking in, so it has to borrow the difference.  As long as we can continue to borrow at super low interest rates, the status quo can continue.

But a Ponzi scheme like this can only last for so long.

It has been said that when the checks stop coming in, chaos will begin in the streets of America.

The looting that took place when a technical glitch caused the EBT system to go down for a short time in some areas last year and the rioting in the streets of Ferguson, Missouri this year were both small previews of what we will see in the future.

And there is no way that we will be able to "grow" our way out of this problem.

As the Baby Boomers continue to retire, the amount of money that the federal government is handing out each year is projected to absolutely skyrocket.  Just consider the following numbers...

-Back in 1965, only one out of every 50 Americans was on Medicaid.  Today, more than 70 million Americans are on Medicaid, and it is being projected that Obamacare will add16 million more Americans to the Medicaid rolls.

-When Medicare was first established, we were told that it would cost about $12 billion a year by the time 1990 rolled around.  Instead, the federal government ended up spending $110 billion on the program in 1990, and the federal government spent approximately $600 billion on the program in 2013.

-It is being projected that the number of Americans on Medicare will grow from 50.7 million in 2012 to 73.2 million in 2025.

-At this point, Medicare is facing unfunded liabilities of more than 38 trillion dollars over the next 75 years.  That comes to approximately $328,404 for every single household in the United States.

-In 1945, there were 42 workers for every retiree receiving Social Security benefits.  Today, that number has fallen to2.5 workers, and if you eliminate all government workers, that leaves only 1.6 private sector workers for every retiree receiving Social Security benefits.

-Right now, there are approximately 63 million Americanscollecting Social Security benefits.  By 2035, that number is projected to soar to an astounding 91 million.

-Overall, the Social Security system is facing a 134 trillion dollar shortfall over the next 75 years.

-The U.S. government is facing a total of 222 trillion dollars in unfunded liabilities during the years ahead.  Social Security and Medicare make up the bulk of that.

Yes, things seem somewhat stable for the moment in America today.

But the same thing could have been said about 2007.  The stock market was soaring, the economy seemed like it was rolling right along and people were generally optimistic about the future.

Then the financial crisis of 2008 erupted and it seemed like the world was going to end.

Well, the truth is that another great crisis is rapidly approaching, and we are in far worse shape financially than we were back in 2008.

Don't get blindsided by what is ahead.  Evidence of the coming catastrophe is all around you.
