Urgent Evoke

A crash course in changing the world.

Did anyone ever read 20 Years After by Alexandre Dumas? It was part of the Musketeers series that focused on the central theme of "The more things change, the more things stay the same."

I view 10 years from now very similarly - and its scary.

Ideally, slow change will have been happening for a decade at that point. Secret Agents aren't called in to make long-term adjustments - rather they're called in for those important moments, those inflection points, where the future hangs in the balance.

James Bond wasn't sent in to negotiate taxes and embargoes...

When I am called, I know that it will be to delve into the minds of the Few who control the world for Everyone. I will have spent the last 10 years developing my ability to understand disparate mindsets; I will have trained to understand how to create win-win solutions for the success of all; and I will have been trained to notice subtle signs and weaknesses in 11th hour negotiations.

Hopefully when I'm called it will be to participate in a no-holds-barred Global Conference to discuss climate change, similar to the one predicted in 2015. I would like to be there in the hour when, we as Humans - not as Americans or Europeans or Asians - decide if we're going to survive...or if we decide that we'd rather be the instrument of our demise.

It will be a short mission. It will be an intense mission. And it will be an important mission...

...a mission worthy of a Secret Agent.

Greg Ive given you a VISION power vote as I think you have an ability to see things on a bigger picture level, I personally believe we are in control of the world, or at least our part of it, I believe it was our choice what we accepted at Copenhagen

Fourth of July on the Lake

This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

Stinging Nettle

In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle. Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future

FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

public servants

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
