Section VIII

The Agenda 21 conspiracy

The elite, for various reasons, want a reduction in world population. The public propaganda is all about sustainability; balancing a number of people with a number of renewable resources. It is happy fluffy talk about a better world. However a major hidden reason for a population reduction is a matter of control.

Our problems are systemic. The only way to fix the world is to destroy the system and build a better one. More and more people are realizing this. The protests are the tip of a reactionary ice burg. But the elite do not want the system fixed. They control it and it brings them everything they want. A popular revolution would destabilize things; some of the elite would be killed, others would survive but with out place or power in the new society.

The situation may be understood as a question of control methods. For the past 50some years the Huxley system has been used (it is illustrated in the novel A Brave New World) People are controlled by entertainment and education, they are not oppressed in obvious ways. But this system is braking down. The sheep are waking up and demanding change. So an alternate method of control must be put in place, at lest in the short run. The Orwellian system (as seen in the book 1984) is the answer.

The economic collapse will be the key stone, causing a majority of people (who are still sheep) to cry for the government to take care of things. The centralized supply system under FEMA control will be the tool that saves civilization. Or so the authorities will claim. In reality it will be the tool that kills millions. Food shipments will be lost, damaged or delayed so that many are underfed and some entire towns starve to death. Those who oppose the good work of FEMA will of course be enemies of the state.

The survivors of the tough times will be disarmed and disheartened. They will be happy to just be alive, grateful to the government that saved them. They will overlook the oppression they find themselves in and rationalize it as a necessary evil. This tactic is already a tried and proven phenomenon in the world of labor relations. People today are expected to be grateful for any job they can get; having any job, even a low paid high stress one, is better than having no job at all.

If the elite get what they want, America will become an oppressive totalitarian state, doing what is required to survive. This will likely include annexing its neighbors, to form a solid North American Union. Unlike the historic situation in Europe, when the Black Plague killed off large numbers of people the workers gained power because there was a labor shortage, a modern downsizing of population will not produce a similar effect.

If the elite continue in power, the modern system of society will continue too. Solutions to fix the past mistakes will be superficial and mostly products of propaganda.

However, all this is not a forgone conclusion.

The civil war will be a real struggle, between the 99% vs. the 1% with the possibility of a better civilization rising from the ashes. The exact for it takes is hard to imagine. But we can make some educated guesses.

Because many of the American freedom fighters are supporters of the constitution, we can expect that they will look back into history for their social model. They will want a return to small community life with emphasis on local independence and democracy. They will want to construct an idealized golden age of small town America. Perhaps taking ideas from De Tocqueville’s famous book ‘Democracy in America’ published in the mid 1800s.

Alternately it may be a technological socialist utopia with massive rebuilding projects. Although there will be strong anti-centralization sentiments, it is not impossible to consider a form of democratic socialism that does not run counter to the constitution.

 In any case a new civilization must drastically alter all the old institutions and laws; it must abandon, if not execute, its old leaders. Because if the elite are allowed to remain influential, they will find faults in the system (no system is perfect) and they will exploit them for personnel gain.

What we need are idealists with a desire to make the world a better place for people. What we need is a clear division between persons and corporations, which puts the rights or humans far above those of legal business entities existing for profit. Our new leaders will not be perfect, but we need them push forward, free of old ideas about how everything has to be done.

 

Section X

What does all this mean for Canada?

We will see continuations of the protest movements. Organized and peaceful for the most part; they will try to be tricky and outwit the police rather than face direct confrontation. Unable to get a permit to occupy an area, protesters will gather in a different spot each day, staging a short loud demonstration, and then braking up when police turn out in numbers.

We will experience the mini shock very much as the Americans do. A rapid rise in oil prices will send people flocking to stock up on various supplies. There will be temporary shortages and permanent price increases. The increase in fuel costs and thus transport costs will be passed onto the consumers. There may be some civil disruption, but order will never really be lost. Stability will quickly return.

When the US economy starts to crash, the effect will not instantly hit Canada. The death of their dollar does not mean ours will follow. However, they are our biggest trading partner and so as hyper inflation starts to take hold of them our economy will suffer.

Exports to the US will drop off drastically as they are unable to pay for our goods.  Imports from the US will continue for a time at beneficial levels, as American companies find it preferable to sell to Canadians rather than to their own people. But this flow will soon be cut down as authorities seek to keep goods in America. The net effect in Canada will be massive unemployment.

As the effects of the economic crash begin to be felt, Ottawa will announce wage and price controls, to avoid the rapid spiral of hyper inflation. This will work to stabilize things at a very uncomfortable level. We may expect to see most prices at double their current level, while most wages do not increase at all. More troublesome will be the massive unemployment levels, with welfare and other benefit programs not being increased to compensate for higher prices.

A spin off of the price controls will be the growth of the black market. As some items will be officially restricted to sell at a given price, below their market value, these items will seldom if ever make it onto store shelves. They will be sold under the table for whatever people are willing to pay.

As a general overview the situation will be much like that of e 1930’s deprecation. The collapse of the US economy will affect the world, as they are a major consumer. All nations will take a serious blow to their export levels. Although Canada has taken steps to diversity, a huge sector of our economy is still tied to the US. Also a large number of companies in Canada are owned by US corporations. This will become something of a problem we will cover later on.

Points of Conflict

1.  Before the shit hits the fan, there will be Americans coming to visit Canada for an extended period. They will be generally welcome and perhaps complimented for their good sense to get out before things got real crazy. Once the serious trouble starts more Americans will flock north, as refugees. This will be troublesome, especially once the economy starts to collapse. The refugees will be with out jobs or social benefits. Some Canadians will help them, but others will turn their general anger against America to these people.    

At another level there will be a more deadly drama playing out. Washington will send up lists of suspected domestic terrorists. Some of them will be anti-government rebels; many will just be survivalists with vocal opinions. Homeland Security will work with RCMP to apprehend them. Once the Civil War begins in the US, this program will be intensified.  Ottawa will likely cooperate, officially. Although the suspects are wanted, they are not wanted back in the US. Thus detention centers in Canada will be used to hold them.

The potential flashpoint of conflict will be when US agents chase refugees across the boarder and gun them down. Or worse, when they stage a raid on refugees hiding in a Canadian home and kill some of our citizens. If the matter is handled in the usual heavy handed “American” way, public sentiment will quickly shift to side with refugees, even those confirmed as rebels. The Canadian people may assist in the US civil war. 

2.  Three will be high level talks between Washington and Ottawa about the continued supply of vital resources; oil, power and water, from Canada to the US. They will promises to pay a fair price at a later date. They will also threaten that turning off the taps will be seen as an attack, that could potentially kill millions of Americans. Thus if Canada shows any hesitation in maintaining its long standing friendship, US troops will be sent in to protect the resources. (Almost all resource exporting companies in Canada are US owned businesses)

This situation will become a prim point of contention with the radical 99% activists. Already there is a strong feeling that American corporations are sucking Canada dry and returning nothing of value to us. With the US economy collapsing, the American companies in the North may try to suck as much money and resources from us as they can. This will fuel resentment.

Then will be general vandalism of US owned businesses, but more importantly the resource delivery systems (pipe and power lines) will be targets. It is almost certain that attempts to blow the lines will be made.
