Financing the Apocalypse

Who is financing the apocalypse may be a good way to introduce the people behind The Zeitgeist Movement.

Zeitgeist is a german rooted word which describes the spirit of time. In human behaviour the zeitgeist is the collective balance between good and bad. An apocalypse is an end time scenario and not necessarily the end of the human species or the end of planet earth.

Financing the apocalypse is another way of stating what the people at the Zeitgeist Movement seem to be saying about the way in which money as become the tool of choice for measuring peoples worth.

The Zeitgeist Movement was started in 2008 as a base for activism and they will be present at the G20 meeting in Toronto in June 2010 where global financial issues and the security of the economies of devoloped and emerging nations will be debated.

The people behind the Zeitgeist Movement find influence in people like Jacque Fresco of the Venus Project. They promote a system of equity that is Resource Based. A Resource Based Economy is different that an economy based on tangible or physical items that are mass produced often by factory workers who work in near slave camp like factories at less than poverty wages. The current zeitgeist in the world is one where dollars, tangible items themselves, are the driving force of the economy and this is a means of an end fails humanity. Most of humanity that is. A small group of people thrive in a dollar based economy and they go very far out of their way to continue to print money to sustain a system that fails time and time again.

G20 is a meeting of master financiers who are either appointed finance ministers of their respective country or members of the central bank within their country. Who knows they may have a reason for printing more money.

The people behind the Zeitgeist movement tell us that a Resource Based Economy is environmentally friendly and would sooner or later heal the planet and it's inhabitants and thus turn the Zeitgeist or spirit of time global consciousness from one of perpetual doom and gloom to one of near Utopia.

Utopia may be pushing the limits but if you have looked at the works of Jacque Fresco and of his technological world of the future then you know that he is a human seeking to push humanity towards perfection and a Utopian mindset.

Personally I see many pros and cons in Fresco's enlightened visions of the future. I personally see his floating structures as a possibility but on the flip side of the token I can only see how in such a society of advanced technology which calibrates itself to the planet there is a dark world, an almost prison like world where those who are not part of the inner city society would suffer much deeper torment than the empoverished people suffer in today's world.

See this video for the Fresco ideology.



I agree with the people behind the Zeitgeist Movement in that the supply and demand chain which drives the global dollar driven economy of today is definitely Financing the Apocalypse and using up the environmental resources to a very sour end. However I recall that Hitler was more than just a sick war lord. He also had a prediction for a future based on his own ideologies and that his Utopia was full of great cities.


Other groups of protesters will be making an appearance at the G20 meeting including the Black Bloc.

Black Bloc anti capitalist anarchists

Does anti capitalist anarchists describe the Black Bloc ?

Let's define a few words to start.

Capitalism


Capitalism is an economic system where private enterprise or corporations distribute wealth. The price of goods and services are set by investors and traders who move the supply and demand chain. Capitalism has been the mode of doing business since the time when feudalism or battles between royals went the way of the DoDo bird. While capitalism seems at first to be a good means to an end where entrepreneurs with ideas and start up capital get to enjoy the wealth they create, many people question the merits of such a system when that wealth becomes a means of monopolizing the balance of society. Such is the oligarchal society debate. Is there a group of people who have become the equivalent of the feudal lords and who now live in the private sector and who are members of a global social group that is small in numbers but giant in influence. Are there oligarchal capitalists playing the governments of the world and manipulating the global population by manipulating the supply and demand chain and the source of capitalism ?

Anarchist

The anarchist lives by the political philosophy that considers state authority undesirable and prefers the idea of a state without government. Global anarchists are people who look at the planet as a whole and who see the oligarch rising in the background. The unseen global government is the target of the global anarchist.

___________

Global anti capitalist anarchists are people who see the rise of private citizens of the world and who fear for the global dominance of such a group who could manipulate the wealth of the world and thus the rest of civilization.

Does this describe the Black Bloc has anti capitalist anarchists ?

Black Bloc or Black Block according to infoshop.org is not an organization as much as it is a Tactic of protesting. Different organized groups merge their actions of protest under the veil of black armor. Put more gently these groups don't necessarily all dress in black attire but they act in solidarity to fight under the color of black which is symbolic of anarchism and they protest what they believe is oppression from state or government authoritarian rule. Black bloc protesters usually wear masks to avoid being identified by security cameras.

In June 2010 the Black Bloc tactic is being used by protesters in the City of Toronto in Canada where global financiers and executives of central banks are meeting for a G20 meeting.

Is the Black Bloc dangerous ?

Black Bloc demonstrations do have a flare a drama to them and have in the past been more violent than simple protests where the group is simply trying to get a meeting or handshake from some politician without raising hell to get their point accross.

The National Post used this video in an online article called A Look at the [Black Bloc] Anarchists who could be the Biggest G20 security threat.

See if you agree.



Why is this part of a 2012 prophecy and prediction blog ?

Because if there is great change in the year 2012 it will likely come from the minds of people and not from the wrath of god or nature. Zeitgeist is another big word that revolves on the 2012 theme of change and another group of G20 protestors is called the Zeitgeist Movement.
