FYI:
Young people today would never respond to an invitation to join a Nazi Youth brigade. But they have responded to social networks to be connected to their friends and are responding in the millions to fun projects to save the world. But have they looked closely at who is behind social networking and to what uses it is being put already?
Social networks are using knowledge of everyone's friends, what everyone is doing, and now starting to use social networks for harm.
A "vast green army" is being organized by Cornell and IBM. Cornell is tightly bound to Monsanto, so its projects to get young people to locate all plant and animal species in the world and GPS map them, and even in backyards, is worrisome, to say the least since it can be used for anti-ecological corporate purposes. It could help Monsanto to locate, patent and control nature, even more than they already do - and all for free, all under the name of "ecological fun" or saving the planet, by using naive, caring young people to do the investigative work for them. Monsanto is presently defoliating the Brazilian rainforest and has been doing that in Colombia for years, and is pushing laws to make it a felony to whistleblow on agribusiness (itself).
As for IBM, they were the experts used by the Third Reich to locate Jews and their assets and to coordinate trains to the concentration camps. The huge number of deaths during the Holocaust were only possible through IBM's collection of data. Now they are roping in kids to collect data for them and using the combined power of millions of kids' computers to crunch it. They are storing information not just on kids report but on those reporting it. Through fun social networking projects, IBM is setting up global surveillance.
The Rockefellers (connected to both Monsanto and IBM) had 1/2 interest in the Holocaust. Their connection to the Bushes is shot through with control over and alteration of nature for profit. Their history and current direction are not anything young environmentalists would want to support. But since their UN plan is billed as Eco and Green and Sustainable, many young people could be misled, and not notice that the UN's real interest in Sustainable is more than suspect. It is currently letting place after place be plundered and indigenous people be forced off their land, without a word to stop them. The UN's Global Compact is directly involved with that plunder and the situation has become so serious that Global Compact Critics was formed, "an informal network of organizations and people with concerns about ... partnerships between the United Nations and companies, and corporate accountability.
Right now, farmers, gardeners, environmentalists, indigenous people, around the world are working to save plants and animals and insects and to protect diversity, many actually hiding organic seeds or knowledge of where unique plants may be. As farmers producing organic food or milk or meat are being attacked in the US by the FDA and its food safety Czar, and even gardens are threatened, people here are even going underground to obtain fresh food, creating secret buying clubs and meeting in parking lots at night to sell farm food.
Will social networks be told how good it would be for "sustainable" local food systems to map how many gardens there are in the US, how many urban chickens, how many milking goats, how many farmers markets (not matter how small or off the grid) and where they all are? Agribusiness has been slaughtering animals in vast numbers for decades and pushing into extinction rare animal breeds. It was only through Haitians hiding their special breed of Creole pig that they managed to protect enough breeding stock to try to bring back the breed. In the UK, tens of millions of farm animals were slaughtered to "stamp out" FMD (foot and mouth disease), a non-threatening disease, causing a number of breeds to go extinct. The two outbreaks were caused by lab leaks (the USDA is moving a germ lab to the middle of cattle country over the strenuous objections of cattlemen and scientists who predict a in 10 chance of a leak). In Korea, 2 million animals were destroyed after an FMD outbreak, hogs buried alive. Most animals (90% - 99%?) were not sick at all and would have gotten over FMD in a week or more. Were Korean farmers able to hide any of their animals from the 70,000 military brought in to kill them, in an undeclared corporate war on animals? Korea had been resisting imports of US cattle over fear of Mad Cow disease, but now having lost 1/5 or their own livestock (with threats that FMD might return), they are less position to be picky.
