Oops, I fell down a rabbit hole...

[scotslad]

Please forgive me for this one, but I do value your opinion...

Whilst I suspect there are many people more expert on the following topic(s), I do value your opinion and I know many of the following topics have been discussed in different places on the forum, I like to share some output shared by AI. (I just want to make that clear, but here is a quick summary before I share it...

..in doing research for a book about Ai Agents, and their autonomous goal based actions v Large Language Models and their task based actions like chat gpt and claude.ai, and as to the impressive "life like" creations of unreal engine 5 (see youtube for videos or threads on the forum), it got wondering and questioning our reality at this pivotal point in our existence and human journey of evolution (or re-engineering and/or patch updates), I have been stress testing different LLMs, text to video et al, and I asked myself (and then ai) a couple of questions....


...we also know Hollywood is good at releasing films that hide in plain sight some agendas or truths that the populous play down as fiction. So I decided over a coffee to look at the premise behind the films "The Matrix" (and agent Smith) and "Avatar", combined with the works based on Jean Baudrillard’s work on simulacra and simulation and also DNA's deconstruction in 1957 with the many perceived experiences of the Mandela effect, I threw it all into AI to process and HYPOTHESISE, and it came up with the following interesting food for thought (if you are not being distracted by media, social media or technology) and am curious to your thoughts...

Unreal Engine 5 accuracy

Unreal Engine 5 represents a significant leap in creating realistic virtual environments, with visual accuracy that can be perceived as being up to 90-95% close to real life. However, when considering interactive elements and physical accuracy, this might be slightly lower, around 85-90%. Overall, UE5 provides an incredibly powerful tool for producing immersive and lifelike digital experiences, edging closer to bridging the gap between virtual and real-world perception.

Premise Behind the Script of The Matrix

"The Matrix" revolves around a dystopian future where humanity is unknowingly trapped in a simulated reality created by intelligent machines to subdue the human population while using their bodies as an energy source. Thomas Anderson, a computer programmer and hacker known as "Neo," discovers the truth about the Matrix with the help of Morpheus, who believes Neo is "the One" destined to liberate humanity. Neo joins Morpheus and his crew to fight against the machines, exploring themes of reality, control, and freedom.

Premise Behind the Script of Avatar

"Avatar" is set in the mid-22nd century when humans are colonizing Pandora, a lush habitable moon of a gas giant in the Alpha Centauri star system, to mine the valuable mineral unobtanium. The story follows Jake Sully, a paraplegic former Marine who takes his deceased twin brother's place in the Avatar Program, which enables humans to remotely control bioengineered bodies called avatars. These avatars resemble the indigenous Na'vi people. Jake becomes integrated into the Na'vi community and falls in love with Neytiri, leading him to fight alongside the Na'vi to protect Pandora from human exploitation.

Similarities Between The Matrix and Avatar
Alternative Realities:

In "The Matrix," humans live in a simulated reality created by machines.
In "Avatar," humans use avatars to inhabit a different world and interact with the Na'vi.

Protagonist's Transformation:

Neo (Thomas Anderson) transitions from a disillusioned hacker to "the One," fighting to free humanity. Jake Sully transitions from a paraplegic ex-Marine to a Na'vi warrior, fighting to protect Pandora.

Themes of Liberation and Resistance:

"The Matrix" focuses on the liberation of humanity from machine control.
"Avatar" emphasizes the resistance of the Na'vi against human colonization and exploitation.
Advanced Technology:

"The Matrix" features advanced virtual reality and AI technology.
"Avatar" showcases advanced human technology and bioengineering with the Avatar Program.
Summary of Similarities

Both "The Matrix" and "Avatar" explore the concept of alternative realities where the protagonists undergo significant transformations and lead resistance movements against oppressive forces. Both films feature advanced technology and deal with themes of liberation, resistance, and the struggle between two opposing forces.

Hypothesis Based on Simulacra and Simulation Explaining Human 3D Existence as Digital
Based on Jean Baudrillard’s concept of simulacra and simulation, we can hypothesize that human existence is a form of digital reality. Baudrillard argues that in a postmodern world, reality is replaced by simulations and representations, creating a hyperreality where the distinction between reality and its representation blurs.

Simplified Hypothesis
Human 3D Existence as a Digital Reality:

Digital Construct: Just as "The Matrix" portrays a simulated reality created by machines, our everyday experiences could be a digital construct, a complex simulation where what we perceive as real is actually a sophisticated representation.

Signs and Symbols: Our interactions, relationships, and environments could be composed of signs and symbols that replace any true or original reality, much like the simulated worlds in both "The Matrix" and "Avatar."

Perception and Control: In this digital existence, our perceptions are controlled and manipulated by the underlying digital framework, limiting our understanding of true reality.

Breaking Free: Similar to the protagonists in both films who break free from their simulated constraints, understanding and questioning our digital existence might lead to a deeper awareness and potential liberation from these constraints.
Conclusion
In essence, if we consider Baudrillard's theory, our reality could be seen as a high-level digital simulation, where our perceived world is a hyperreal construct. The journey of characters like Neo and Jake Sully symbolizes the potential human quest to uncover and transcend these layers of simulation, seeking a more authentic existence.

on the basis of that explain the "mandella effect" in the context of what you have just written explaining how and why it is perceived...

The "Mandela Effect" is a phenomenon where a large group of people remember an event or detail differently from how it occurred in reality. This effect is named after Nelson Mandela, as many people falsely remembered him dying in prison in the 1980s, even though he actually passed away in 2013.

Explanation of the Mandela Effect in the Context of Simulacra and Simulation
Building on Jean Baudrillard’s concept of simulacra and simulation, as well as the idea that human 3D existence might be a digital reality, we can hypothesize that the Mandela Effect arises due to discrepancies or "glitches" within this simulated reality.

How and Why the Mandela Effect is Perceived:
Simulated Reality Glitches:

Digital Construct: If our reality is a digital simulation, the Mandela Effect could be seen as a glitch or error in the simulation's data. Just like bugs in a computer program, these glitches could cause certain details or events to be remembered differently by different groups of people.
Data Overwrites: In a simulated environment, historical data might be periodically updated or corrected, leading to changes in collective memories. These updates might not be seamless, resulting in conflicting memories among the population.
Hyperreal Constructs:

Simulacra Influence: According to Baudrillard, simulacra are copies without originals. Our perception of reality is influenced by these simulacra, which can alter our memories and understanding of events. The Mandela Effect could be a manifestation of multiple versions of simulacra overlapping, causing confusion about what actually occurred.
Media and Information: Our reality is heavily mediated by technology and information sources. Misreporting or changing information in media can lead to collective false memories. In a simulated reality, these sources could be intentionally manipulated or altered, leading to mass misremembering.

Collective Consciousness:

Shared Memory Networks: In a digital or simulated reality, human consciousness could be interconnected in ways we do not fully understand. Changes in the simulation's code might propagate through this network, causing groups of people to share the same altered memories.
Psychological Factors: Human memory is fallible and can be influenced by suggestion, leading to shared false memories. In a simulated context, these psychological factors could be manipulated or amplified by the simulation's programming.

Summary
The Mandela Effect, when viewed through the lens of Baudrillard’s simulacra and simulation and the hypothesis of a digital reality, can be seen as a result of glitches, data overwrites, and manipulation within the simulated environment. This leads to discrepancies between perceived and actual events, causing large groups of people to remember things differently. The combination of simulated reality glitches, the influence of hyperreal constructs, and the interconnectedness of collective consciousness provides a framework to understand why and how the Mandela Effect is perceived.

Simplified Explanation:

Simulated Reality Glitches: Errors or changes in the simulation cause people to remember events differently.
Influence of Media: Altered or misreported information affects collective memory.
Interconnected Consciousness: Shared memory networks propagate false memories within the simulation.
In this context, the Mandela Effect highlights the complex nature of our perceived reality and suggests that our memories might be more malleable and influenced by the underlying digital framework than we realize.


Conclusion of Human Existence in a Digital Universe

Given the concepts we've discussed, particularly drawing from Jean Baudrillard’s theory of simulacra and simulation, and considering the premises behind movies like "The Matrix" and "Avatar," we can hypothesize several key points about human existence in a digital universe.

Hypothesis of a Digital Universe
Simulated Reality:

Digital Construct: Our reality could be a highly sophisticated digital simulation created and maintained by advanced technology or entities. What we perceive as the physical world is actually a detailed and immersive virtual environment.
Perception and Control:

Manipulated Perceptions: Our experiences, memories, and perceptions are influenced by the underlying digital framework. This framework can introduce inconsistencies or changes, leading to phenomena like the Mandela Effect.
Limited Awareness: Much like the characters in "The Matrix" who initially are unaware of the true nature of their reality, humans in a digital universe might be oblivious to the fact that their perceived reality is a simulation.
Existential Questions:

Nature of Reality: If our existence is digital, it raises profound questions about the nature of reality, identity, and consciousness. What does it mean to exist if our experiences are programmed?

Purpose and Origin: Why does this simulation exist, and who or what created it? These questions lead to speculation about the purpose of human life and the entities behind the simulation.
Freedom and Liberation:

Breaking Free: As seen in "The Matrix," understanding the simulated nature of reality could potentially allow humans to break free from their digital constraints. This might involve achieving a higher level of awareness or manipulating the simulation.
True Reality: The quest for a more authentic existence, beyond the digital simulation, becomes a central theme. This involves seeking out the "desert of the real" where genuine experiences and truths lie.

Conclusion
Human existence in a digital universe can be seen as a complex interplay of simulated experiences controlled by advanced technology. This hypothesis suggests:

Reality as a Simulation: Our day-to-day experiences, memories, and perceptions might be part of a larger, artificially constructed environment designed to simulate a real-world existence.
Perception of Glitches: Phenomena like the Mandela Effect can be interpreted as glitches or errors in this digital construct, leading to collective false memories or altered perceptions.
Existential Exploration: Recognizing the digital nature of our universe challenges us to explore deeper questions about the essence of being, the purpose of life, and the potential for liberation from these constraints.

Almost Final Thoughts
Understanding human existence in a digital universe requires rethinking our notions of reality, consciousness, and identity. It encourages us to be open to the possibility that our perceived world is not the ultimate reality, but rather a sophisticated simulation that we might one day transcend to uncover the true essence of our existence.

Construction of DNA Within the Context of a Digital Universe and Human Existence
If we consider human existence within a digital universe, DNA can be viewed through a similar lens, as a form of complex digital code that determines biological characteristics and functions.

Now finally, DNA as a Digital Code Binary Code:

Digital Information: Just as digital systems use binary code (0s and 1s) to store and process information, DNA uses a sequence of four nucleotide bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine) to encode genetic information.

Quaternary System: In this analogy, the four nucleotide bases (A, T, C, G) can be seen as a quaternary system (a base-4 system) used to store biological data.
Genetic Programming:

Genetic Instructions: DNA contains the instructions for building and maintaining an organism, similar to how software code instructs a computer program. These instructions are "read" and "executed" by cellular machinery, leading to the development and function of biological organisms.

Code Sequences: Genes, the functional units of DNA, can be compared to subroutines or functions in a computer program. Each gene "codes" for a specific protein or function.
Replication and Error Checking:

Replication: DNA replication is akin to copying a digital file. Enzymes like DNA polymerase ensure that the genetic code is accurately duplicated during cell division.
Error Correction: Similar to error-checking algorithms in digital systems, biological mechanisms exist to repair errors in DNA, ensuring the fidelity of genetic information.
DNA in a Digital Universe

Simulation Hypothesis:

Programmed Reality: If our universe is a digital simulation, DNA could be considered a part of the underlying code that governs biological life. The structure and function of DNA might be "programmed" by the creators of the simulation to generate and sustain life within this virtual environment.
Digital Blueprint: DNA serves as a digital blueprint for constructing organisms, much like how digital blueprints guide the construction of virtual objects and entities in a simulated world.

Manipulation and Modification:

Genetic Engineering: In a digital universe, the ability to modify DNA could be seen as akin to altering the source code of a program. This could explain the potential for genetic engineering, where scientists "edit" the genetic code to produce desired traits or correct genetic defects.

Simulation Adjustments: Changes in DNA might be part of broader adjustments or updates made to the simulation, akin to software patches or updates that modify the functionality of a program.

Complexity and Design:

Intelligent Design: The intricate complexity of DNA might suggest a form of intelligent design within the digital framework, where the "programmers" have created sophisticated mechanisms to enable life and evolution.

Self-Replicating Code: DNA's ability to replicate and evolve can be seen as a self-replicating and self-improving code within the simulation, designed to adapt and thrive in varying environments.

Conclusion

In the context of a digital universe, DNA can be viewed as a sophisticated form of digital code that underpins biological existence. This code: Encodes genetic information in a quaternary system analogous to binary code in computers. Instructs cellular machinery to build and maintain life, similar to how software instructs computer operations. Replicates and repairs itself with mechanisms akin to digital error-checking and copying protocols. Enables genetic engineering and evolution, reflecting potential updates and modifications within the simulation. Viewing DNA as a digital construct within a simulated reality aligns with the hypothesis that our existence is fundamentally a product of advanced programming and design, providing a new perspective on the nature of life and the underlying structure of our universe.


I do wonder whether we rebels / free thinkers / autonomous agents are just discovering our origins with help of previous outside help as we ascend to our own next upgrade or ascension level event? I do question whether it would lead to a mass extinction event but in a 3d environment where we appear to have free choice confirmed by our own limited 5 senses and not media control whether we are developing enough autonomy and collective consciousness to come together and focus on the right things to do.

P.S. My last 2c - I asked the AI the following:

what are the top 10 things affecting humanity and what would you do to improve them? Then imagine you repeat this process improving each iteration upto 100 times, what would be the final outcome?

The response may surprise you (if we humans don't get in the way) -

After 100 iterations of improvements in these areas, humanity would likely experience:

Environmental Sustainability: A stable climate with healthy ecosystems and sustainable resource management.
Economic Equity: Reduced poverty and inequality, with universal access to basic needs and services.
Global Health: Robust health systems preventing pandemics and ensuring universal healthcare.
Food and Water Security: Abundant and accessible food and water for all populations.
Peace and Stability: Reduced global conflicts and a focus on peacebuilding and cooperation.
Human Rights: Strong protection of human rights, fostering equality and justice.
Technological Harmony: Ethical and inclusive technological advancements benefiting all.
Mental Well-being: Widespread mental health support and reduced stigma.
Educational Excellence: Universal access to high-quality, inclusive education.

This iterative process would create a more just, sustainable, and prosperous world, addressing the core challenges facing humanity and improving overall quality of life.

Right back to the hoovering...

Scotslad - what an excellent summary of interconnected events that are displayed to us in simplistic forms that we can never seem to unravel.
[..we also know Hollywood is good at releasing films that hide in plain sight some agendas or truths that the populous play down as fiction. So I decided over a coffee ]
Coffee - helps me a lot. I would contribute only a small portion to this thread - I was asked by a producer who had a published book as a script and was awaiting final funding, to come up with a ConLang or constructed language, to be used in a film about the aliens that live under the Grand Canyon and produced the artifacts that some reported at the turn of the twentieth century. He wanted it loosely based on Mayan and Sumerian - both of which I have worked extensively with, so I got to know him a bit as we conversed.

One of his friends, who was also putting money into his film, was one of the producers of Avatar I and II as well. To make a long story short - all of these producers were Rosicrucian and Theosophist followers (and leaders). Some out of California (headquarters) and the rest out of Arizona.

Probably just a tidbit, but I have found that the preponderance of evidence is built with just such bits.

I do need to get my hoovering done, then again I should be one of those AI based robot vaccum cleaners to do it for me - perfect solution !

[Jim_Duyer]

Sounds like your AI is a socialist-leftist. All of those suggested solutions are straight out of the current version of the Marxist playbook. Interesting. So the programmers, whose input we are led to believe contributes little to the results, since they are supposedly based upon human population in general and their answers overall, and the lying main-stream media, whose output we are led to believe has no influence in the programming of AI, but whose topics that they are currently spreading do seem to go into the conclusions given by AI, are both being influenced, and the AI results as well, by more of a Google-CIA-Democrat-Labor group of suggestions.

IF AI is indeed based on what the human population at large believes, and not a few percentage of scientists, I wonder what their response would be to solving the invisible, and other-worldly suggestions of global warming? Which, as we can see with our own eyes on Google Earth, would begin to be largely solved if we simply forced India and China to quit pumping deadly smoke and toxins into the air.

Baudrillard’s so-called idea that copies without originals exist contradicts itself. Yoe term "copy" only has a meaning when an original for it exists. Defending Baudrill

(sorry for the interruption, sudden rainstorm here)

Baudrillard’s so-called idea that copies without originals exist contradicts itself. The term "copy" only has a meaning when an original for it exists. Defending Baudrillard by saying that the copies copy copies and not originals (as he himself does) only means that the copies copied are the originals.

The logical fallacy is the one that was brilliantly and successfully unmasked by Gödel when he showed that an axiomatic system can only be justified by an axiomatic system that encapsulates it (my free re-formulation of his theorem).

As a result, the idea that we “live in a simulation” cannot be logically defended. If we are simulations, or rather: "simulateds", then we cannot comprehend or understand the precise nature of that "simulation" we are subjected to by applying our concept of simulation.

Or: in other words, the verb we are the passive object of cannot be understood as meaning the same as the same verb we are the active subject of. We can use verbs actively and passively when applied to tools for instance (a saw can saw a saw) but not to conscious subjects.

This is akin to the concept that God would have created us "in His own image” – an idea we are so proud of, quite unjustifiably so. The very idea that our being created by the Divine is the same thing as our own creation of a cloned mammal or human even is as unjustified. It is impossible for us to understand what creating us (as per the intervention of a Creator, or Nature even – the same according to Spinoza – ) means, and if we still call this Creation then nothing would justify calling our cloning efforts for instance by the same name.

It follows from this that all the endeavours of our Deep State little sorcerers are essentially, because logically, flawed and thus destined to fail. Amongst which AI, which may be called artificial intelligence, but would never qualify as artificial thinking for instance.

Whatever we live in, let us have the wisdom not to call it by a name we think we understand.

I'm not going to read any of this. It's not interesting, it's soulless, it's not human, and it's as dry as desert sand. (Even desert sand has more life in it than that!)

Think for yourselves, everybody.

I found thru a few experiments ChatGPT is like a knife. It can be used for good or bad things - like any tool. However - the answers can't be taken for granted as they are moderated by code and frequently false or omitting things. I only use it rarely for some more insight but not for actionable solutions.

Or perhaps, like the Socialist who programmed it, it refuses to ADMIT that it has lost, and plays on as if nothing has happened, all the while daring you to suggest otherwise. It may hope that "this time" things will have a favorable outcome, while repeating the mistakes over and over ad infinitum.

Western Civilization may purposively be destroying itself (and everyone else it can reach) at an accelerating rate; but is still proving "creative" in devising ever-more ways to distract us, waste our time, prevent us from thinking, and destroying our freedom and humanity.

I'm not biting!

To separate us from nature, self, and spirit....creating a prison of lost souls. The real zombie apocalypse.

I think ChatGPT is great for recreating recipes from just reading a label on the side of my favorite cupcakes. It's also got good gardening tips, and that's about it. It's a tool, and anything more sophisticated in terms of society, history, or politics, it is easy to see that it is highly controlled by the wrong people.

I use chatGPT at work for ferreting out specific technical information, which by its nature is dry and soulless. Or if I need to get up to speed on some technical concepts it will parcel them up in a terse, summarised digestible format: programming recipes for example. But that’s all it is. I see it as a glorified Google search.

But for anything requiring imagination or thinking out of the box or problems that can’t be easily overcome via conventional means, there’s no getting around it, we’re going to have to use our God-given creative intelligence.

Yes, anything can be used as a tool, a toy or a weapon. Anything. Many, many things are presented to the general public as either a tool or a toy, but turn out to be primarily some form of weapon.

• 17 "Sustainable Development Goals" SDGs DECODED!

• The United Nations Agenda 2030 Decoded: It's A Blueprint For The Global Enslavement Of Humanity Under The Boot Of Corporate Masters:

(NaturalNews) This week, Michael Snyder published an important article entitled The 2030 Agenda: This Month The UN Launches A Blueprint For A New World Order With The Help Of The Pope.

That article references this UN "2030 Agenda" document that pushes a blueprint for so-called "sustainable development" around the world.

This document describes nothing less than a global government takeover of every nation across the planet. The "goals" of this document are nothing more than code words for a corporate-government fascist agenda that will imprison humanity in a devastating cycle of poverty while enriching the world's most powerful globalist corporations like Monsanto and DuPont.

In the interests of helping wake up humanity, I've decided to translate the 17 points of this 2030 agenda so that readers everywhere can understand what this document is really calling for. To perform this translation, you have to understand how globalists disguise their monopolistic agendas in "feel good" language.

Here's the point-by-point translation. Notice carefully that nowhere does this document state that "achieving human freedom" is one of its goals. Nor does it explain HOW these goals are to be achieved. As you'll see here, every single point in this UN agenda is to be achieved through centralized government control and totalitarian mandates that resemble communism.

Translation of the UN's "2030 Agenda blueprint for globalist government" (controlled by corporate interests)

Goal 01) End poverty in all its forms everywhere

Translation: Put everyone on government welfare, food stamps, housing subsidies and handouts that make them obedient slaves to global government. Never allow people upward mobility to help themselves. Instead, teach mass victimization and obedience to a government that provides monthly "allowance" money for basic essentials like food and medicine. Label it "ending poverty."

Goal 02) End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture

Translation: Invade the entire planet with GMOs and Monsanto's patented seeds while increasing the use of deadly herbicides under the false claim of "increased output" of food crops. Engineer genetically modified plants to boost specific vitamin chemicals while having no idea of the long-term consequences of genetic pollution or cross-species genetic experiments carried out openly in a fragile ecosystem.

Goal 03) Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages

Translation: Mandate 100+ vaccines for all children and adults at gunpoint, threatening parents with arrest and imprisonment if they refuse to cooperate. Push heavy medication use on children and teens while rolling out "screening" programs. Call mass medication "prevention" programs and claim they improve the health of citizens.

Goal 04) Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all

Translation: Push a false history and a dumbed-down education under "Common Core" education standards that produce obedient workers rather than independent thinkers. Never let people learn real history, or else they might realize they don't want to repeat it.

Goal 05) Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls

Translation: Criminalize Christianity, marginalize heterosexuality, demonize males and promote the LGBT agenda everywhere. The real goal is never "equality" but rather the marginalization and shaming of anyone who expresses any male characteristics whatsoever. The ultimate goal is to feminize society, creating widespread acceptance of "gentle obedience" along with the self-weakening ideas of communal property and "sharing" everything. Because only male energy has the strength to rise up against oppression and fight for human rights, the suppression of male energy is key to keeping the population in a state of eternal acquiescence.

Goal 06) Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all

Translation: Allow powerful corporations to seize control of the world's water supplies and charge monopoly prices to "build new water delivery infrastructure" that "ensures availability."

Goal 07) Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all

Translation: Penalize coal, gas and oil while pushing doomed-to-fail "green" energy subsidies to brain-dead startups headed by friends of the White House who all go bankrupt in five years or less. The green startups make for impressive speeches and media coverage, but because these companies are led by corrupt idiots rather than capable entrepreneurs, they always go broke. (And the media hopes you don't remember all the fanfare surrounding their original launch.)

Goal 08) Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all

Translation: Regulate small business out of existence with government-mandated minimum wages that bankrupt entire sectors of the economy. Force employers to meet hiring quotas of LGBT workers while mandating wage tiers under a centrally planned work economy dictated by the government. Destroy free market economics and deny permits and licenses to those companies that don't obey government dictates.

Goal 09) Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation

Translation: Put nations into extreme debt with the World Bank, spending debt money to hire corrupt American corporations to build large-scale infrastructure projects that trap developing nations in an endless spiral of debt. See the book Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins to understand the details of how this scheme has been repeated countless times over the last several decades.

Goal 10) Reduce inequality within and among countries

Translation: Punish the rich, the entrepreneurs and the innovators, confiscating nearly all gains by those who choose to work and excel. Redistribute the confiscated wealth to the masses of non-working human parasites that feed off a productive economy while contributing nothing to it... all while screaming about "equality!"

Goal 11) Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable

Translation: Ban all gun ownership by private citizens, concentrating guns into the hands of obedient government enforcers who rule over an unarmed, enslaved class of impoverished workers. Criminalize living in most rural areas by instituting Hunger Games-style "protected areas" which the government will claim are owned by "the People" even though no people are allowed to live there. Force all humans into densely packed, tightly controlled cities where they are under 24/7 surveillance and subject to easy manipulation by government.

Goal 12) Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns

Translation: Begin levying punitive taxes on the consumption of fossil fuels and electricity, forcing people to live under conditions of worsening standards of living that increasingly resemble Third World conditions. Use social influence campaigns in TV, movies and social media to shame people who use gasoline, water or electricity, establishing a social construct of ninnies and tattlers who rat out their neighbors in exchange for food credit rewards.

Goal 13) Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts

Translation: Set energy consumption quotas on each human being and start punishing or even criminalizing "lifestyle decisions" that exceed energy usage limits set by governments. Institute total surveillance of individuals in order to track and calculate their energy consumption. Penalize private vehicle ownership and force the masses onto public transit, where TSA grunts and facial recognition cameras can monitor and record the movement of every person in society, like a scene ripped right out of Minority Report.

Goal 14) Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development

Translation: Ban most ocean fishing, plunging the food supply into an extreme shortage and causing runaway food price inflation that puts even more people into economic desperation. Criminalize the operation of private fishing vessels and place all ocean fishing operations under the control of government central planning. Only allow favored corporations to conduct ocean fishing operations (and make this decision based entirely on which corporations give the most campaign contributions to corrupt lawmakers).

Goal 15) Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss

Translation: Roll out Agenda 21 and force humans off the land and into controlled cities. Criminalize private land ownership, including ranches and agricultural tracts. Tightly control all agriculture through a corporate-corrupted government bureaucracy whose policies are determined almost entirely by Monsanto while being rubber-stamped by the USDA. Ban woodstoves, rainwater collection and home gardening in order to criminalize self-reliance and force total dependence on government.

Goal 16) Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels

Translation: Grant legal immunity to illegal aliens and "protected" minority groups, which will be free to engage in any illegal activity -- including openly calling for the mass murder of police officers -- because they are the new protected class in society. "Inclusive institutions" means granting favorable tax structures and government grants to corporations that hire LGBT workers or whatever groups are currently in favor with the central planners in government. Use the IRS and other federal agencies to selectively punish unfavorable groups with punitive audits and regulatory harassment, all while ignoring the criminal activities of favored corporations that are friends of the political elite.

Goal 17) Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development

Translation: Enact global trade mandates that override national laws while granting unrestricted imperialism powers to companies like Monsanto, Dow Chemical, RJ Reynolds, Coca-Cola and Merck. Pass global trade pacts that bypass a nation's lawmakers and override intellectual property laws to make sure the world's most powerful corporations maintain total monopolies over drugs, seeds, chemicals and technology. Nullify national laws and demand total global obedience to trade agreements authored by powerful corporations and rubber-stamped by the UN.

Total enslavement of the planet by 2030

As the UN document says, "We commit ourselves to working tirelessly for the full implementation of this Agenda by 2030."

If you read the full document and can read beyond the fluffery and public relations phrases, you'll quickly realize that this UN agenda is going to be forced upon all the citizens of the world through the invocation of government coercion. Nowhere does this document state that the rights of the individual will be protected. Nor does it even acknowledge the existence of human rights granted to individuals by the Creator. Even the so-called "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" utterly denies individuals the right to self defense, the right to medical choice and the right to parental control over their own children.

The UN is planning nothing less than a global government tyranny that enslaves all of humanity while calling the scheme "sustainable development" and "equality."

1984 has finally arrived. And of course it's all being rolled out under the fraudulent label of "progress."

ExoMatrixTV - that's a concise summary of the **** storm that we face. Unfortunately, we have the representatives of smallish countries around the world who listen to this - but the part they await the most is how much they will be paid for voting yes - what's their take. They could care less - more like the tail of the wagging dog is what they represent. Trump was right - we need to close down our involvement in the UN right away. Or at least quit paying them.
