[Scpg] online book on relocalization

Tue Jul 13 14:28:52 PDT 2010

Interesting post on the future as predicted by Richard Moore. I did a brief
read on Ch. 1 and felt called to write a quick message here.

Whatever value the rest of the book holds, I personally want to acknowledge
how much story, interpretation, and prediction is being spoken with the
language of "what IS going to happen." Maybe one could argue that this is a
likely future if we don't do anything about it, which could present an
interesting case for action, but I'm not hearing any of that here.

An example:
"In our post-2012 world, we have for the first time one centralized global
government, and one ruling elite clique, a kind of extended royal family,
the lords of finance. As we can see with the IMF, WHO, and the WTO, and the
other pieces of the embryonic world government, the institutions of
governance will make no pretensions about popular representation or
democratic responsiveness. Rule will be by means of autocratic global
bureaucracies, who take their marching orders from the royal family."

I ask for your forgiveness ahead of time if somehow I have completely
misunderstood. My interest here isn't creating a "battle between theories" -
something that separates people working for the common good - I just want to
free the future and bring it back into the world of possibility,
responsibility, choice, and creation.

With gratitude that the future is unwritten...
