I think most of you have realized by now that you cannot really rely on TV, radio and your newspaper or on-line news source anymore to tell you what is really happening in the world. It is therefore better not to waste any money on it. Truth is that most of the media are now owned by either the governments or the richest people on earth and they dictate what you will read, hear, and see.

I am sure you all remember Joseph Goebbels who was the Chief of Communications for Nazi Germany. Apparently, he once said: ‘Propaganda works best when those that are being manipulated are confident that they are acting out of their own free will.’

Here is some news that you will never get to read in the media:

The skewed distribution of wealth in the world is accelerating. It leads to a world populated by the dispossessed and ‘have-nots’  who are ruled by a small financial elite. It is measured by the GINI factor. Gini Index Definition (investopedia.com)

In assessing what is happening, we can start our research by making a few assumptions that do not differ much from the current state of world affairs as measured  by trends from the available sources:

1) The total wealth of the world is now around $9.2 * 10^13. That amounts to a total average of $11500 per world resident.

2) The top financial elite consists of 2000 people, who together own 20% of the total wealth of the world, so that is $18400*10^9. That amounts to an average of 18400/2000 = $9 billion each. ($1 billion = $1000 million)

3) We assume that the wealth of the world is growing by 1% annually. After x number of years, it will therefore be $9.2*10^13*1.01^x

4) We assume that the ownership and wealth of the elite grows by 10% annually as it usually does. That wealth is therefore after x years: $184*10^11*1.1^x.

Somebody who knows the math can do the calculation and solve x for me? For x=19 years, the total wealth of the world in 3) will be equal to the wealth of the rich as accumulated in 4)

So, with these assumptions, and if the trends remain the same, the conclusion is that in 19 years’ time, all property and wealth will be in the hands of the 2000 richest. The other 8 billion inhabitants of the earth will then have nothing, and they will have nothing to say. And the funny thing is, the have-nots will think that this is good and that it has grown this way all by ‘itself’……

Last night I saw it in my dream. The well-known graph of the GINI index in the form of a cartoon and now with ropes on the curve to pull it to the straight (GINI index = 0) by people clearly from the left camp. Others stood smiling by and looking sympathetic with their hands in their pockets watching this scene. They didn’t have to do anything because they knew that the curve is determined by human character and that a mechanism of ‘money makes money’ is embedded in the current economic systems so that the curve will always tend to shift more and more stronger to 1. Without forcing it as in the dream, the curve can be determined by a change in human doing and thinking. However, this requires awareness that can only grow in a stable situation. And it is no surprise that the present time cannot be seen as stable.

A Few Ideas, to bring the GINI Index Down

• Reduce taxes for the poor, like Value Added Tax and no VAT on food and basic necessities like fridges, stoves, heaters and fuels.
• Reduce taxes for the middle income earners to stimulate the economy. They are the ones who will buy stuff and keep everyone working.
• Increase the taxes of the wealthy sliding up to 70-75% per annum depending on income
• Property taxes must be coupled to income / wealth, rather than area
  
• At the end of the tax year, wealthy people should be taxed against the value of the shares they hold, not just be taxed through Capital Gains tax if and when they sell shares.
• Salary structures inside companies, organizations and local and national government must be reviewed asap to bring the GINI index down. Senior management /directorship are mostly grossly overpaid compared to their inputs.
• Energy is the engine of all production. Be hesitant to believe in the The Green Illusion | Bread on the water
• Do not summarily believe the media in what they say. A quick and sensible way to prevent the coming slavery without much unrest is to deprive the financial elite of its control over mass communication.

Only when the masses understand in time the mechanism behind the present – and coming events –  can they act against the real evil i.e. too much power in the hands of too few people.

 If you have the time (the video is almost 2 hours long), you must watch the testimony of Nabeel Qureshi. Once I started I could not stop watching until the video had finished. I was so saddened to learn afterwards that Nabeel had passed on to be with Jesus. But now watch the video that was made after Nabeel’s death.  Note where the curse from Islam onto Jews and Christians comes from. Nabeel’s book is apparently available from Cum Books.

By the way, if you are wondering who Lee Strobel is, who is doing the introductions, watch the latest video on our CCMSA page, here:

If you are interested in the subject of global warming, you should take some time to watch this interview of a renowned and  experienced climate expert.

We all know that in the process of photo-synthesis, plants and trees need carbon-dioxide (CO2) in order to grow. What struck me were the things William Happer said about more CO2 in the air CAUSING more greening. To quote from the report that he referred to: ‘Increased levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) have helped boost green foliage across the world’s arid regions over the past 30 years through a process called CO2 fertilisation, according to CSIRO research.

During my statistical analysis of 54 weather stations back in 2015, see Table 1, An Inconvenient Truth | Bread on the water, I came across 2 weather stations with somewhat puzzling results. In statistics, we call these results  ‘outliers’. In the case of Las Vegas (USA), I found the minimum temperature rising by 5 degrees C since 45 years ago, pushing up the average temperature by almost 3 degrees C. In the case of Tandil (ARG) we find the minimum temperature decreasing by 2.2 C over same period, dragging the average temperature also down by almost 2 degrees C.

For more details, see here:

Now, as we know, 50 years ago, Las Vegas was a desert. There was no running water. Water was brought in from afar and gradually the desert was changed and developed for human habitation. Sure, some of the warming noticed in Las Vegas may be due to an urban heat effect as many skyscrapers were also built. But most probably not all of it. I am sure the change of the desert area into a big green oasis had something to do with it. (1)

In contrast, it appears that in Tandil many forest trees were chopped for logging or to make way for agricultural – and housing developments. A loss of about 10-15% in leaf area is apparent (see picture, area is orange). (2)

Looking again at my own results for South-Africa, I find that Johannesburg is about the only place here that shows some significant warming over the past 40 years. Here too, there was no running water or river. It used to be a savannah area. But there was gold….(3)

Note again the picture at the beginning of this post. Do you see that the leaf areas around the arctic seas all appear to have increased by more than 50%? Remember that it was here that we found most of the warming taking place? See: An Inconvenient Truth | Bread on the water  (4). We were also aware of the difference in the warming of earth where there is more land (5), i.e. in the NH, see: Wood for Trees: Interactive Graphs 

In his latest report on Climate Change in Alabama, John Christy wrote:

‘Every trend calculation starting from 1895 through 2010 and ending in 2020 produces more warming in the lows than the highs’.

Which is exactly what we would expect if the trend of greening in Alabama is increasing. Indeed: It is up about 10% from 1982 (if my chart at the top of this post is correct). (6)

These 6 observations all support the argument that the extra greening [of earth] is causing some extra heat entrapment.
