On China's Ghost Cities

Tech­noc­racy

I have demon­strated ear­lier that China is already a Tech­noc­racy, being run by sci­en­tists, engi­neers and social sci­en­tists. This con­ver­sion took place as a result of western influ­ence over a period of years, and in par­tic­ular by the mem­bers and poli­cies of the Tri­lat­eral Commission.

China has become adept at building entire cities along the Tech­nate model (Technocracy’s design for planned com­mu­ni­ties), which gen­er­ally adhere to Agenda 21 prin­ci­ples of prop­erty and people man­age­ment. Unfor­tu­nately, nobody likes these cities and they sit empty of res­i­dents. In the U.S., you can see these same kind of devel­op­ments in micro­cosm where apart­ments and condos are stacked on top of retail space; ameni­ties are within walking dis­tance so you don’t even need cars or bicy­cles. I have seen sev­eral this year, and they are all vir­tu­ally empty as well. Yet, they keep on building them. It seems to me that the only way there will be public “accep­tance” will be at the point of a gun.

That could be arranged, I suppose.

Now, China has built a ghost city in the middle of Angola. Check out the pic­tures. You will be sur­prised and wonder who could be so crazy? And yet, I am cer­tain that the global elite who are behind Tech­noc­racy are not spending bil­lions by mis­take. Somehow, these cities fit into their master plan of global Tech­noc­racy – and China has appar­ently become the “master builder.”

Fourth of July Reflections

The market is closed on the Fourth, so let’s reflect.

Our 10,000 mile trip around America this year was very enlight­ening. We have a beau­tiful country filled with many beau­tiful people. Unfor­tu­nately, there are also many evil, greedy and despotic people as well that spoil it for the rest of us. (That’s not to say that anyone is per­fect, but nei­ther are we driven to con­trol every­thing and everyone in sight!)

If there ever was a spe­cial divine blessing on America, there is plenty of evi­dence that it has been with­drawn. At present, our ship is taking on water faster than we can bail it out.

It doesn’t help to wax nos­talgic, but hon­estly, I often think about wanting my country back.

When I was a child, much of my family’s med­ical care was in San Fran­cisco. We trav­eled there sev­eral times a year, would stay for a few nights at the Clift Hotel off of Union Square, and do our “big city shop­ping.” Being quite young and yet a big kid, everyone at the hotel knew me by name. I knew all the street ven­dors within a couple of blocks – flower stands, news racks, shoe shine, etc. I could walk around even at night in com­plete safety and never get into trouble.

As a grown man today, I would be hes­i­tant to walk in some of the same areas even in broad day­light. Today, a young boy would be snatched up into an alley in a heart­beat, and that would be the end of him.

Growing up on a farm during the 50′s, I remember the mass migra­tion of workers from Okla­homa during and fol­lowing the “dust bowl.” Many of these folks were farmers who were forced to abandon their farms and move west to find work to stay alive. We called them “Okies,” but not in a deroga­tory way.  They were hard workers who main­tained dig­nity during hard­ship. They fit in, put their hand to the plow and con­tributed greatly to the suc­cess of Cal­i­fornia agriculture.

I remember the great and dev­as­tating flood of 1955 in Yuba City/Marysville, Cal­i­fornia. Every­body helped every­body save prop­erty, live­stock and lives. People with dry houses packed in people who lost their homes and in some cases, every­thing they owned. Coffee shops served meals. People vol­un­teered with police, red cross, civic clubs. It was the greatest lesson I ever learned on how a com­mu­nity should operate when trouble hits.

Alas, as so many homes recently burned in Col­orado Springs, the first head­line I read the next day was that looters had moved in to take advan­tage of the sit­u­a­tion. Then I read about a 7 year old girl being gunned down in Chicago while she manned her lemonade stand in front of her own house.

Today, the dust bowl is starting to return to the mid-west. That’s the way weather is. There will likely be another exodus in the future as people abandon prop­er­ties where they can no longer make a living. Will these new migrants be as gen­teel as the former? I doubt it. People who see it coming are already for­ti­fying their homes, buying more guns and ammo, etc., to pro­tect them­selves from hoards of marauders.

What­ever evil there is in grass-roots America, we must remember the Scan­di­na­vian proverb, “A fish stinks from the head down.” The rotten and morally cor­rupt lead­er­ship in America has set a bad example for all cit­i­zens, young and old. How can a parent com­mu­ni­cate to chil­dren that it’s wrong to take some­thing that they didn’t work for or earn? That applying for food stamps isn’t a right of pas­sage? That freedom and lib­erty are things worth fighting for?

Our country is being attacked eco­nom­i­cally, polit­i­cally and spir­i­tu­ally, with the intent to crush every­thing that made America great in the first place. The poor are more locked into being poor than ever before. The igno­rant are less likely to get a decent edu­ca­tion than ever before. The tal­ented are con­di­tioned to be mediocre and to not embar­rass the less talented.

Yes, I want my old country back. It wasn’t per­fect by a long shot, but it was a whole lot better than what it is today.

On this Inde­pen­dence Day, remember Freedom.
