Someone Explain This by ODB1: 10:52pm On Aug 03, 2012 |
This article http://www.rockefellerfoundation.org/uploads/files/bba493f7-cc97-4da3-add6-3deb007cc719.pdf was first printed in May 2010. Go to page 34 and be shocked. Devastating shocks like September 11, the Southeast Asian tsunami of 2004, and the 2010 Haiti earthquake had certainly primed the world for sudden disasters. But no one was prepared for a world in which large-scale catastrophes would occur with such breathtaking frequency. The years 2010 to 2020 were dubbed the “doom decade” for good reason: the 2012 Olympic bombing, which killed 13,000, was followed closely by an earthquake in Indonesia killing 40,000, a tsunami that almost wiped out Nicaragua, and the onset of the West China Famine, caused by a once-in-a-millennium drought linked to climate change. |

OK, it seems I need to break it down for you guys. The document at first glance looks like a normal business prospectus but on page 34 the tone becomes more narrative of future events as if it was in the past. The document was issued on MAY 2010 but discusses disasters in 2012, 2014 and 2015 in the narrative. Did someone invent a time machine? Is the internet that time machine? Come to think of it bandwidth are nothing more than coded binary messages that bounce of satellites. All radio messages generated since the advent of that technology are currently continuing in their propagation deep into space which is (in which direction you want to look) is either the past or the future. Looking into the sun is looking 9minutes into the future. Looking at some stars at night is peering into the past as some of these stars are myths (since they have long burnt out and all we see are the echoing light rays from their original location) Is this document (as obscure as it may appear to be at first glance) designed to communicate and with who? |
