Almost everything you might encounter in day-to-day media reports is talking about inconsequential matters compared to the big picture explained here. Trump or no Trump, human civilization is on a collision course with extermination from two vectors: Self-extermination and outside-of-our-control apocalyptic demise. Yet almost nothing is being done to halt humanities spiraling suicide march, even when the outcome is clearly disastrous.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">If humanity continues on its current path, we will give rise to phenomena that will decisively end us as the dominant, intelligent species on planet Earth. Yet there are almost no voices of dissent against these accelerating pursuits, as the fear of being left behind in the global race for technological \u201cachievement\u201d (or political power, or profits, etc.) overrides any sense of informed caution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">In this two-part article series, I share ten of the most dangerous threats to humanity that must be defeated (or overcome) for us to live as free, conscious beings in a sustainable world.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>#1) Space weather \/ solar flares and asteroid impacts<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Our planet\u2019s electrical grid can be taken out at any moment, without warning, from a sufficiently powerful solar flare. Such solar flares are produced by the sun at regular intervals and catapulted into the cosmos. Fortunately, very few of them strike planet Earth for the simple reason that Earth is a very tiny target from the point of view of the sun. (The solar system models you see in textbooks and TV documentaries universally distort scales to make it appear the Earth is much closer to the sun than is the case.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Asteroid impacts, although extremely rare, can be catastrophic when they occur. At least one mass extinction of planet Earth, according to mainstream scientists, occurred because our planet was struck by an asteroid roughly 65 million years ago, near the Yucatan Peninsula, wiping out the dinosaurs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Despite these risks, there is no serious effort to \u201cruggedize\u201d Earth\u2019s power grid infrastructure against the EMP effects of solar flares. There\u2019s also no sufficient effort under way to monitor the skies for objects that may strike the Earth at high velocity. Our planet is swirling through a cosmic shooting gallery, and earthlings are flying blind, foolishly hoping nothing catastrophic will occur. That approach is incredibly shortsighted, if not suicidal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">It is the cosmic equivalent of participating in a street parade that marches through a field laces with land mines. Sooner or later, your luck streak ends badly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>#2) Genetic engineering of humans<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The genetic engineering of humans produces self-replicating \u201cgenetic pollution\u201d with unknown consequences, some of which may be catastrophic to the fertility or viability of the human species as a whole. Yet China, in particular, is aggressively pursuing genetic engineering of humans in the hopes of creating \u201csuper soldiers\u201d \u2014 biological humanoid weapons that can fight for the interests of the communist party. This most likely means fighting against the interests of free humans, by the way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">China\u2019s genetic experiments have already gone horribly wrong. According to <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ccffff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/science\/2019\/dec\/04\/china-gene-edited-baby-experiment-may-have-created-unintended-mutations\">a report from The Guardian<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, a recent effort to genetically engineer human babies resulted in \u201cunintended mutations.\u201d These mutations can, of course, be passed on to future generations, contaminating the human gene pool with the pollution of failed mad science experiments. As The Guardian reports, \u201cChinese biophysicist He Jiankui ignored ethical and scientific norms in creating the twins Lula and Nana, whose birth in late 2018\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ccffff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/science\/2018\/nov\/26\/worlds-first-gene-edited-babies-created-in-china-claims-scientist\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">sent shockwaves through the scientific world<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Even worse, the core philosophy of secrecy and dishonesty that now pervades the communist Chinese culture has already resulted in these researchers trying to hide the name and location of this genetically mutated baby. As The Guardian reports, \u201cThe authors also appeared to have taken steps to make it hard to find the family, like leaving the names of the fertility doctors off the paper, and including a false date of birth. He claimed November 2018 while multiple reports have indicated it was October 2018.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Even if the goal is merely to genetically engineer \u201corgan farm\u201d humanoids to serve as organ harvesting vessels for the lucrative transplant industry, the moral and ethical implications of engineering, cloning and growing fields of human organ harvesting farms populated by conscious beings should demand a global halt to this research. Remember, China is a nation where human beings imprison bears and siphon biological chemicals from their gall bladders on a daily basis in order to sell this lucrative \u201cmedicine\u201d to willing buyers. In China, there is no moral boundary that prevents the mass torture of other living beings for personal profit. When a nation that has no moral grounding also pursues genetic engineering technology without limits, the result is sure to be horrific beyond imagination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Sadly, China is currently leading the world in genetic engineering research on humans. And this is a nation that places zero value on human beings. What could possibly go wrong?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>#3) Communism \/ socialism<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">By its very nature, communism deprives conscious, self-aware human beings of the dignity and freedom that makes us human. The rise of communism (and socialism, which is \u201ccommunism light\u201d) threatens to unleash the fall of humanity, for communism rests on the idea that the power of the few must be protected and expanded at the expense of the many.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Where it achieves its desired goal of absolute dominance over the minds of men (and women), communism unleashes the destruction of free will, the demise of freedom of thought, the suppression of the freedom to engage in contracts and commerce, the destruction of the freedom of religion and the eradication of logic and reason. This is all by design, since an individual\u2019s ability to think for himself is incompatible with the authoritarian aims of communism which dictate to all subjects the things they must believe, how they must speak and what concepts must be erased from their consciousness (such as dissent against the state).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The rise of China\u2019s economy over the last three decades has misled many people into thinking that a hybrid model of communism and \u201cfree market\u201d principles can achieve tremendous success in our world, yet those who fall for such beliefs are not yet aware of the three irreconcilable factors that will bring communist China to its knees. (By the way, China considers itself to be a socialist nation, not communist. This underscores the undeniable fact that socialism and communism are just two slightly different flavors of the same anti-human tyranny.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">1 \u2013 China has made a deal with the devil by trading production output for extreme, long-term domestic pollution consisting of heavy metals, extreme air pollution and the mass pollution of waterways and soils that feed their own people. The result will be <strong>seven generations of birth defects, mental retardation and neuropsychiatric illness<\/strong> that will ravage the nation for a century or more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">2 \u2013 Runaway debt, leveraged by greed \u2013 China is already bailing out banks nearly every week, and the debt-to-GDP ratio of the nation as a whole has reached alarming levels that threaten its entire economic foundation. Because communism operates from a command-and-control central economic authority, the deeply rooted resource allocation mistakes that lead to economic collapse have no chance of being rooted out or corrected through rational investment choices by a broad base of retail participants. Rather, critical fractures that threaten the viability of the entire economic system will be officially denied and covered up by the central authorities until the problem becomes so large that it can no longer be hidden from the masses\u2026 at which point it will be too late to solve. Remember: Capital markets cannot function efficiently without the free will of participants who are acting on transparent information. Once you take away free will and begin to <em>dictate<\/em> the demanded behavior of participants, you create catastrophic distortions that lead to eventual collapse. And part of the long-term viability of free market systems depends on \u201cpredator\u201d investors feeding on bad resource allocation ideas by dismantling corporations which pursue bad ideas (and therefore misallocate resources).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">3 \u2013 Connected people want to be free \u2013 The Hong Kong phenomenon demonstrates the fact that as technology gives rise to the instant connections among individuals who share common interests, <strong>those people sooner or later discover they\u2019d rather be free than enslaved<\/strong>. It is a natural tendency of conscious, self-aware individuals to prefer autonomy over tyranny. Authoritarian societies can only remain sustainable when they isolate people from each other, which China is attempting to do through Google search manipulation technologies, censorship, facial recognition tracking, social scoring systems, etc., but despite all the layers of techno-fascism, a Chinese farmer innately seeks the same level of personal freedom as a Texas farmer. It is the natural desire of conscious beings to seek freedom and reject authoritarian limits on their ability to think, speak or act. The rise of the internet and its properties of rapid interconnections among individuals has created a vector for free-thinking people to connect and act in unison against the tyranny of the state. This is just as true in China as it is in Brazil, Venezuela, the United Kingdom or France, for that matter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">In summary, <strong>humanity must declare war on communism<\/strong> and eliminate it from planet Earth, for if communism is allowed to rise, it will ultimately lead to the destruction of humanity itself. Communism embodies an anti-human agenda, simply put.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>#4) Censorship: Digital tyranny from the tech giants<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">A free society cannot function in a sustainable way if its participants are not allowed to express freedom of speech\u2026 which stems from the freedom to <em>think<\/em>. Yet today, we live under an unprecedented form of <strong>digital tyranny<\/strong>, where un-elected techno-fascists grant themselves the monopoly power to decide which concepts are allowed to be publicly expressed. Anything they don\u2019t want to see debated or mentioned is simply labeled \u201chate speech\u201d and removed from the web via dominant gatekeepers like Google, Facebook and Twitter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">A new effort is under way to tighten the censorship grid by proclaiming that the internet shouldn\u2019t be used to \u201cdivide\u201d people. Only voices that \u201cunite\u201d people are to be allowed to use the internet under a new agreement authored by Tim Berners-Lee, who has launched what he calls a \u201cMagna Carta for the web.\u201d The description of this new agreement reveals the bizarre distortions that underpin its fascist tenants, however. As <a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/2018\/nov\/05\/tim-berners-lee-launches-campaign-to-save-the-web-from-abuse\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>explained by <em>The Guardian<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/a>, this \u201cMagna Carta for the web\u201d will, \u201cprotect people\u2019s rights online from threats such as fake news, prejudice and hate.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Hopefully, you already see the distortions in that very line. There is no such thing as a \u201cright\u201d to be protected from \u201chate,\u201d for example, especially given that \u201chate\u201d is defined as anything the Left doesn\u2019t want to read or see. Yet it is through these perverse distortions that <strong>censorship is being re-packaged as freedom<\/strong>, and the crushing of dissenting voices is being marketed as \u201cprotection from hate.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">As George Orwell once wrote, war is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">This has practically become the mantra of the digital tyrants as we approach 2020. Censorship is freedom. Silencing the opposition is diversity. Destroying freedom of expression is progress. We are now living under the Orwellian nightmare that was once mocked as impossible to imagine. Yet it is here, and it has a name: \u201cContract for the web.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Under this new \u201cContract for the web,\u201d all voices of dissent will be silenced. Only voices which are obedient to the ever-changing whims of the <em>tolerati<\/em> will be allowed to engage in the \u201cfreedom\u201d of expression. Censorship will be justified as a way to protect the freedom of speech by invoking the absurd idea that freedom excludes the ideas of those with dissenting views.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">For humanity to survive with anything resembling real freedom, <strong>the digital tyranny that now threatens human civilization must be defeated and dismantled<\/strong>. The internet must be set free to carry all voices, no matter how fringe, or offensive or non-conformist. The minority of the individual must be protected from the bullying of the online mob, and that means the proper role of government in regulating the tech giants is to restrict censorship of minority views and thereby <strong>initiate a new online civil rights movement that makes it a crime for corporations to silence people due to the color of their speech<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brighteon.com\/embed\/5833239449001\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n&#8212;<\/div>\n<h2><strong>#5) The mass chemical contamination of the food supply<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The mass chemical contamination of the human food supply has sharply increased since World War II, after which synthetic pesticides and herbicides were deployed on a truly alarming scale in order to achieve higher crop yield efficiencies. The obvious problem with these toxic synthetic chemicals such as <em>organophosphates<\/em> is two-fold:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">1) Their chemical toxicity is not specific to the insects they target. These chemicals are also toxic to humans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">2) Once applied to food crops, the chemicals persist in both the environment and the resulting food products that are consumed by humans and ranch animals. The result is the <em>bioaccumulation<\/em> of toxic, synthetic chemicals, many of which have direct and severe neurological toxicity in nearly all life forms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">In effect, <strong>we are eating ourselves to death<\/strong> because we are consuming foods which are laced with pesticides and herbicides (such as glyphosate and atrazine). The use of these agricultural chemicals continues to increase, to the point where the very existence of pollinators is now severely threatened by just one class of pesticides known as <em>neonicotinoids<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">When the pollinators collapse, approximately one-third of the food supply consumed by humans ceases to exist (this includes almonds, by the way, which require pollinators to produce nuts).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The continued consumption of these toxic chemicals results in <em>transgenerational effects<\/em>, meaning the toxicity continues to interfere with human biology (infertility, neurotoxicity, etc.) across multiple generations. Even if we were to halt all pesticide use today, the human race will be subject to the lingering effects of a toxic food supply for at least four generations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Since there is no economic penalty for farmers to add these toxic chemicals to their crops, their use has become so widespread that even many certified organic food products are now contaminated with glyphosate and other chemicals (I see this directly in the mass spec testing at my food science lab, where we routinely test foods for glyphosate and heavy metals).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">And because pesticides are invisible to the human eye, consumers have no practical way to choose pesticide-free foods at the grocery store, meaning there is no economic penalty for farmers to saturate their crops with these toxic chemicals. In fact, there is an economic <em>incentive<\/em> to do so, since killing the most pests by over-spraying crops with pesticides can, in many cases, product higher crop yields (although resulting in a more dangerous level of pesticides for consumers). This is why strawberries, for example, are so heavily sprayed with various pesticide chemicals that eating non-organic strawberries is a form of slow suicide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">No mammals on the planet deliberately poison their own foods before feeding them to their children\u2026 except humans, of course. It is a slow suicide mission that can only end badly. If humanity does not figure out a way to stop poisoning its own foods \u2014 and feeding this poison to its children \u2014 we will witness the collapse of sustainable human health and fertility, followed by the collapse of human populations on a near-global scale.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Perhaps that is the plan, come to think of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">This analysis continues in Part Two, posting tomorrow.
