Is it weird that I think that is actually kind of a good (but silly and incredibly difficult-to-implement) idea?

Of course not. Predictive programming (SUSTAINABILITY! THINK SMART! GLOBAL SOLUTIONS TO GLOBAL CHALLENGES!) is already well under way in order to indoctrinate us to embrace the elitists' agenda that is not at all unlikely to play out as portrayed in that post.

luka, I guess you're enjoying this stuff mostly for its entertainment value but have a look at this article that envisages a similar scenario, but with a more sophisticated narrative arc and some truly astonishing facts to back up its claims. It also features a juicy quote from former US presidential security advisor and role model globalist Zbigniew Brzeziński:

The technetronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society… dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values… this elite would not hesitate to achieve its political ends by using the latest modern techniques for influencing public behaviour… Persisting social crisis, the emergence of a charismatic personality, and the exploitation of mass media to obtain public confidence would be the stepping-stones in the piecemeal transformation of the United States into a highly controlled society… In addition, it may be possible – and tempting – to exploit for strategic political purposes the fruits of research on the brain and on human behaviour. (Zbigniew Brzezinski, Between Two Ages: America’s Role in the Technetronic Era, 1970)

Well i mostly just thought that the idea of an energy based economy is kinda cool.

I doubt it could really work, but its a nice idea.

I like the logic of "of course you would because the elites have tricked you to make it think that is a good idea but really it isn't" - it blows up all sarcasm detectors.

The formation and manipulation of the facts surrounding "man made global warming" have been produced to meet this agenda...

Aaaand once again, those who consider themselves "radical", the ones who've "seen through it all", end up ideologically in bed with the mainstream Right.

From the comments:

Gawd . . . Glenn Beck was right after all!

Seriously, though: the Carbon Tax idea has been around for a while, and I see it as the ultimate step to Communism. In the perverted socialist welfare-state the world has become, anything will be around the corner next. We have SOPA and PIPA being forced through US Congress, and the Euro-Zone at the edge of bankruptcy . . . this has been coming ever since the world switched to a Fiat currency!

When we discover that Fiat is just a bad idea, they will relieve us by backing the NWO currency with something . . . but not gold.

Or even the frothingly crazy Right, in some cases.

the way libertarianism has been harnessed to serve the interests of big corporations and the mega rich.

Ah yeah, for sure. All ties in with the way Beck* et al are always banging on about the terrible "liberal media" who apparently control the American national consciousness.

heres a conspiracy theory that is subscribed to by chomsky and david harvey among other fairly mainstream voices. that deficits and debts are deliberate attempts to stop social spending. that what happened to clinton and obama is no accident. that what happened to mexico, argentina, south korea, indo, greece, ireland, is no accidnet.

There could well be something in that. It's pretty clear that, with some exceptions, people in positions of wealth and/or power generally don't feel a great deal of empathy with the poor and powerless. They're poor because they're stupid or lazy, or in the best case because they're just unlucky and that's how the world has always been, so tough luck.

The idea that the exact amount of deficit that any given country will carry a year from now is being planned by a cabal of cigar-chomping, moustachioed villains in a secret lair somewhere is clearly ludicrous, because the world economy is far too complex to predict or manipulate to that degree. I'm sure that's not what you're talking about, though there are people who have this view of the world.

no its not. its not complex at all. if you are bush you start a few wars, cut taxes and voila.

these things are perfectly simple to engineer. the mechanisms at work are not remotely complicated.

You reckon? I dunno, I'm probably just projecting my own ignorance of economics, which is profound.

But. What about, for instance, Obama's stimulus package? It's widely held to have failed, isn't it? Or at least to have been far less successful than expected. So why is this? Did Obama himself squander the better part of a trillion $ knowing it would largely fail? Did he do it despite himself because Thee Powers That Be decreed it? Did he honestly expect it to work because his own grasp of economics isn't significantly better than mine? Or what?

i mean, that question leads into us just building fictions together doesnt it, which is fun, but maybe beside the point a little bit. and again, i am an agnostic, not a true believer.

i do think it can be done easily. whether the current problems were engineered or not they are certainly being exploited. its almost my bedtime and im going to the mountains in the morning but i will think a bit about this and maybe quote some people and expand on the whole thing when i get the chance. hopefully before vimothy turns up and quotes loads of impenetrable figures at me and posts endless indecipherable pie charts.

one thing i've always found curious about conspiracy theory sites/publications/thinkers is they spend all their effort exposing injustice and uncovering what they feel is the truth, yet rarely propose solutions to problems. once they've finished exposing the corruptions of world financial/monetary systems, the military industrial complex, the NWO and all that's fictitious about current democracies, it would then be interesting to learn what they feel is the right course of action and, importantly, how things would play out in their idealized world.

I don't know, I've often found they do.

It depends which flavour you go with, but most of them will say "we have access to clean infinite free energy and space travel, but the govts are hiding it, when we get access than we will have no more problems"
