The soft sounds
In silence, they move the world.
The director is not in the spotlight
Puppeteer pulling invisible threads
The force of the loud ones repels
Cruel regimes kill colors
Only soft sounds create rich pictures of the soul
Generate curiosity for peace
Brings music into the heart
Shape colorful a new world.

Proverbs
“First they ignore you, then they laugh about you, then they fight against you and then you win”. Mahatma
Gandhie
The Slovenian Philosopher Slavoj Žižek communicated, that the success of the Fascism might be a
consequence that justice hasn’t been implemented.
There is enough for all, but not enough for the greed of few (Mahatma Gandhi)
Stupid the one who is always doing the same fault (Albert Einstein)
“Throughout the history of mankind there have been murderers and tyrants; and while it may seem
momentarily that they have the upper hand, they have always fallen.” (Mahatma Gandhi)
Humanity must put an end to war. Or the war will put an end to humanity. (John F. Kennedy)
Be the change you want to see in the world (Mahatma Gandhi)

You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, you have to build a new
model, which makes the previous model obsolete. Richard Buckminster Fuller (1895 - 1893)
The world we have created is the result of an outdated mindset. The resulting problems can not be solved
with the same way of thinking that created them. Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)
There is one great thing in the world that is dying: the truth. Jose Ortega y Gasset (1883 - 1955)
There are more things between heaven and earth than your school wisdom can ever dream. William
Shakespeare
The war has a congenial partner - passivity. Those who let themselves be carried away are not out of
responsibility.
The negative has the potential to generate something twice as good! (Leibniz)
When the love of power exceeds the power of love, it becomes critical: Jimi Hendrix.
If you ignore the evil, you make yourself an accomplice. Martin Luther King
The question is “what matters”?
Utopias are not a roadmap to paradise. They are visions of a new society that we are fighting for. They
provide an orientation framework for our everyday decisions and for politics. (Dr. Maria Mies)
I am life that wants to live, in the midst of life that wants to live. Albert Schweizer
Ubuntu (Bantu language) means I am what I am, by what we are. I am because we are.
Do I do what I do to empower the people around me, to empower them to act independently?
Whoever prevents the peaceful revolution makes the violent revolution inevitable.
JOHN F. KENNEDY, in a speech on March 13, 1963.
Power should not be fought with power. More intelligent ways should be taken, by recognizing that much
private power results from income without effort. Making this flow of capital disappear could be a task
(according to Ferdinand Wenzlaff).
What happens, if nobody plays it anymore with them? Václav Havel.
„we need to transform a failing Death Economy into a Life Economy that provides sustainable abundance
for all“. John Perkins
Preface
This document intends to present constructive impulses for the future implemented already by some groups
or in some countries. It is just an overview with links to go more deep in relevant topics. It is “open Source”!
Take what you want if it is relevant!
We are not professional for all the complex topics mentioned on this document. But we love human the Earth
and mankind and try to support for a better world and more humanity. We are at a critical cross-road in
history, paradise or hell? They are very close in our epoch and we have to decide which way we want to go.
Edmund Burke (1729-1797) said, it is enough for the triumph of evil if people of good intentions do nothing.
There are constructive paths, but nothing is easy! There are so many good books about that, but time is often
a problem! This document communicates short impulses for more detailed discussions and investigations.
We don’t need a new “ism” again like communism, capitalism, Neo-Liberalism as a standard-
system. Each country has enough wisdom and sources to find its specific way, which is different from others.
There is no standard for all countries. Countries and people are too diverse and the situation is too
8
heterogeneous! Each country has its own very specific way depending on many circumstances and
conditions. Maybe some good templates of others countries can help to improve some aspects. But not all
Templates fit to all countries! Therefore, a big chapter “what we can learn of others” is attached. They
welcome for consulting!
But all is dynamic, things change fast! Do we need a new world order? We have theoretically
already one (respect of the internal affairs of other countries etc), but it is necessary to implement that!
Friends of human, mankind and the earth share a rich internal joy, although the reality is not always
that good. The “movement for peace and live” is accompanied by a lot of cheerfulness and good and deep
relations. Working on a world community can be an exciting project! If the privileged change the focus on
“and now the others" and realize what amazing development it can generate on all sides, we will be one step
ahead.

Introduction
Not all might be relevant to all countries and people. So just pick the relevant topics!
The colonialist thinking was very short term thinking because due to poverty the markets collapsed and
massive refugees are the consequence. People with wisdom and education realized that suppressing other
people to have advantages, does not increase the degree of satisfaction on both sides but the opposite. But
having lucky partners with amazing hospitality and mutual learning increases the internal happiness a lot.
Most of the time in history the growth rates have been very low. So this effect at the moment cannot
last for long!
Half of humanity live in poverty, 1/5 is in absolute poverty!
The short-term thinking of the capitalism is very critical for mankind. Because on the long
run, global justice is the best engine for a good and sustainable economy for all!
The extreme focus on money and profit and not on human generates frustration and desperation.
World powers, allow us a decent life
Not all can see the international perverse injustice due to the laisser-faire capitalism (Neo-Liberalism). So
they focus first their emotions first on the government. Here the cry of a non-privileged person from Asia.
World powers, allow us a decent life, otherwise we starve to death. It is the fault of the government and the
politicians that we have no clothes, no sleeping space and no food. We die. Who knows if we will live
tomorrow? Who knows if we will have something to eat? My children are dying.
We have no home, not even a shelter or some land. I move from village to village, working on the field of
others. And why all this? One day we have food, the next we are starving. But nobody listens to us. The
government does not care about our problems. They do not think about us poor people. Only to themselves.
The Neo-Liberalism is in a fundamental crisis and threatens the planet (update 2.11.2018)
Especially in USA we can see the Neo-Liberalismus at its final stage.
1095 (!) people in USA eat themselves to death every day (obesity)
9
290 people die every day from the side effects of drugs and there are more and more.
143 people die daily from drugs (opioids),
84 deaths daily from alcohol addiction (www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/12/2)
89 deaths daily by armed violence!
20 deaths daily from suicide of war veterans. The latter shows that guilt and atonement are closely
linked and that this often let people make suicide.
6 % of US-households have extreme "food insecurity", 14.5 % live in extreme poverty
(www.feedingamerica.org).
US has 5% of the world population but almost 25% of the prisoners (more than Stalin, but Barack
Obama has released many, so this figure might not be actual!).
52.6 billion dollars annual budget for the 17 secret services with over 107,000 employees
(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Snowden) of which over 27,000 employees alone work for influence
operations, i.e. propaganda.
Despite ill-making wealth on the one hand, neo-liberalism cannot even feed its people!
And everywhere where the Neo-Liberalism is implemented violently (Ukraine etc) we see the same
effects. But USA is promoting that system worldwide by the “Atlas-network” (see online) and many
more.
The Neo-Liberalism is a highly dynamic system but very aggressive. At the end it starts to “eat each
other”, like the predator-fish in the Victoria-sea in Africa. Most serious is the extreme short-term-
thinking and ignoring of the environment effects.
The Neo-liberalism is out of control and becomes gradually inhuman.
The purpose of the government is more and more to serve the Neo-Liberalism.
There is no longer a community of solidarity. The rich people pay almost nothing for the common
good.
The main problems of capitalism are the unbalance of wealth, the ecological consequences and the
short-term (profit)-thinking.
The more anonymous a system, the more it becomes inhuman. For an international concern the
working-conditions are not very interesting, they do not even know the employees
Greed is a big engine of the Neo-liberalism. The greedy one is never happy. Greed is caused by a
lack of self-esteem. The greedy one is unable to enjoy.
Good work becomes scarce in the Neo-liberalism.
In the final phase of neo-liberalism, They are betting on the bankruptcy of companies or states.
Then they start to “eat each other” (Greece). Or they try to compensate the internal contradictions by
war.
There are hysterical behaviors. That does not produce sustainable decisions.
The question is, how do we keep our own dignity? The perception of one's own dignity and thus of
the dignity of others is significant!
A certain loss of power brings a huge gain in humanity and development of consciousness. To
communicate this is a big job.
The strong needs a weak state, the weak needs a strong state.
Sorry for that, but is our focus too much money and power? That is very dangerous! In a finance-
crisis numerous suicide happened worldwide, due to loss of money and power. How to be more
resilient and more satisfied? Is there a way out of that?
For the Pharmaceutical industry concerning profit the best would be maximal number of people are
sick and for the maximal time. Somebody of Goldman Sachs was asking addressed to the
Pharmaceutical complex 'Is Curing Patients A Sustainable Business Model?’
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2m-u4cr3fJ0 Lucky that this complex has a high moral. But it is
a risk, that the Neo-Liberalism with his exclusive profit-orientation leads to a very dramatic situation
for all! So this shows that we need other systems.
The “laisser-faire”-capitalism often generates excessive egoism. But by that a community cannot
work in a human-friendly way. In the extreme form it can be like an cancer-cell which destroys the
complete organism.
10
From 1970 till 2010 poverty has doubled! Poverty kills most of human on Earth, more than war etc.
That is a structural violence!
The concentration of wealth in few hands is perverse, a shame on mankind! 1 % has 40 % of the
wealth!
The common welfare has to be more urgent than particular-goals
A big System-change should be ahead! Focus exclusively on Profit destroys the world and threatens
human.
Extreme contractions divides and threatens communities! More violence is coming up, more
diseases, more frustration, more mental illness, more psycho sociological stress, less innovations
(good Source: www.equalitytrust.org.uk e.g. www.equalitytrust.org.uk/mental-health)
By 2025, three out of 8.5 billion people would suffer from water scarcity (UN-figures)! Our
traditional way to produce energy used a lot of water!
Our economic system is based on materialism and Profit
In some high positions it generates often people with few compassion
To focus only on the GPD generate situations, which are not good for human!
If more people are sick and for a longer time it is good for the profit and the GPD.
Maybe problems are generated in order to present solutions to make profit?
Even criminality generates a lot of business
The privatization of prisons in USA generated much more imprisoned
The “planned obsolescence” reduces the life-time of products to ensure new business. But it
threatens the planet because resources are limited. Sustainable products are not the focus.
Profit interests should not include the core topics of life like water, a right for food etc.
Greed does not solve any problems, but cooperatives!
The Neo-Liberalism is an unstable system, which needs time and again wars, because the capital is
too much concentrated in few hands and the market collapses and the debts are exploding.
Additionally there is too much speculation. Only 1 % of the money circulating is needed for the
exchange of products. There is also saturation in investment when the domestic market is saturated.
Creating short-cycle-products is mot a solution but an environmental and resources problem.
Experience teaches us that too much money and power in too few hands often leads to violence,
inefficiency concerning the material, lack of creativity and generosity, sometimes to shocking
decadence. Over-saturation can spoil the character and the moral of human like we experienced it
from spoiled, indulged children. Experiences teach us that balanced power and finance is the best
for the overall economy.
On the other side people in misery have an extremely short-term thinking and the dignity of human
is threatened and the environment as well, violence and extremist might come up.
Some countries try to compensate that critical economic situation by investment in the military
industry and trigger appropriate situations that conflicts come up. But the overall damage is much
more serious and the government has to pay the bill as we could see in Iraq.
If nuclear weapons are in involved there is no winner, all are affected and it will have global
effects. The highly developed countries are most vulnerable to that. A collapse of the infrastructure
is a catastrophe, in opposite to less developed countries.
Colonialism leads to short-term benefit for some privileged, but to collapsing markets in poorer
countries. They are no longer potent trading partners because there is no purchasing power any more.
Unfair contracts or puppet governments are modern colonialism. The financial war is the
replacement for the physical war. Frustration and hopelessness is the consequence. But human needs
hope in order to be creative, motivated and to develop itself. Hope is crucial for human! Mass
migration is the result or extremist people or terrorism. On the other hand the economy is going
down due to saturation. This is a lose / lose situation. Africa is a rich country with treasures of all
kinds and migration is not necessary. A shame for all mankind!
But that colonialist concept is not successful anymore. Countries with non-colonialist behavior
rely on their own power and performance is much more successful like e.g. Japan, South-Korea,
Germany etc.
The very old concept of "divide and dominate" generates endless suffering and destroyed markets.
On the other side people do not believe anymore all the lies and actions to keep countries in
confrontation! If two countries try to come together, immediately a terrorist attack or something else
11
happens to maintain the conflict. The patterns are the same everywhere and mankind start to
understand it!
The world is not a toy or a strategic game and human and nations are not chess-figures. It is the
culture and dignity of human to take responsibility and work on the solutions for the common
challenges.
The actual Neo-Liberalism generates a very short term thinking which threatens the complete
system. Powerful companies can implement their very specific goals by numerous techniques and
avoid to pay taxes, never mind about the human consequences (not good food, war etc) and
ecological damages. Global regulations are necessary for global companies in order to protect human
and the Earth.
The question is should we invest in death and chaos (military equipment) or in life (infrastructure).
We need a paradigm change urgently! Refugees are a voice who communicate that something is not
OK! The world is like the Wild West at the moment. If we let the greed dominate all we might end
like the people on the Eastern Islands, who had been eating each other at the end!
Human is forced as well to follow the laws of nature and the universe, otherwise the civilization
collapses, as we have seen on the Easter Island.
Greed is often based on internal emptiness and is unlimited. But we can learn of other not privileged
how to fill the internal emptiness.
The wealth has to be distributed globally more homogeneously to increase the satisfaction on all
sides and the business-opportunities. Egoism comes to a limit at a certain stage and little
development takes place. Joy of life by consumption comes very early to saturation. Most satisfied
are the lower middle class and then it goes down constantly. This is an opportunity for all sides to
develop on another superior level.
In the process of the consciousness from "I" to "we" we extend our horizon and advanced
development is possible. If the privileged take care of the non-privileged, development can take
place on all sides. This is part of our human dignity and culture. On both sides there can be a
satisfaction of the primary needs (food, water, house etc) and the secondary needs like social contact,
education, culture, art, tradition etc.
We need to come to a new consciousness of a world community, of a world family with common
challenges. The development from national egoism to a global thinking for the benefit of all. Ken
Wilber describes this mental development in a good way. Unfortunately some isolated countries still
live in the colonialist patterns and we have to open them the eyes for a bigger dimension of
satisfaction on a much higher level. Cultural and social isolation is not very creative and
development is limited.
Only if there is a win / win situation for all, we have a stable and sustainable situation. A
development and market expansion is possible on both sides. More than that a cultural and social
development by mutual inspiration can take place on both sides.
When human gets adult and takes responsibility for the community and the planet
The main threats to humanity are selfishness and indifference.
Everything becomes something that can be exploited. Everything becomes “a product” for sale, the
media, politicians etc. People convert to “human capital”.
Man can only thrive with nature and as nature.
The basic needs for relationships, solidarity and happiness are redirected to consumption.
Competition instead of mutual support, private ownership instead of community ownership.
Capitalism is running out of work on the long term.
Only if ethics and science go together, constructive changes can evolve. The Neo-Liberalism
threatens that. War is good because it generates profit, for profit it is good if many people are sick, if
the products don’t last too long etc.
The economic and financial laws are in a way that one part of mankind becomes very poor.
There is money creation through debt and interest. So the gap between rich and poor automatically
increases.
It becomes more easy to make more money when you already have a lot.
The financial industry spends huge amounts of money on lobbying.
12
The world is infected by a serious cancer. The cancer is called “Neo-Liberalism”. (12.9.18)
The Neo-Liberalism is a war against human, the nature and the next generation. He has the potential to
destroy humanity and the planet. In its final state, when the power is out of balance, it is focused mainly on
profit and money prior to human, based on greed, egoism and characterized by a dangerous short term
thinking. The profit is not interested in moral. It is good if a company gets rid of employees in order to
increase the profit. It is good if many people are sick for a long time, because it generates profit. Protecting
the environment reduces the profit and is not the focus. It is very good for some companies to have war, in
order to generate profit and keep competition down. The best profit can be generated if a company or a
country is in decline or crisis, because they are forced to sell below value. It is good, if good solutions are
suppressed, if they threaten the business-model of powerful companies. It is no problem to work against the
common welfare, if the profit can be increased. It is good if products don’t last long, because it increases the
profit. But all is limited on Earth! The Neo-Liberalism is like an impulse-triggered child without long-term
experience. And the Neo-Liberalism is the enemy of democracy. At the final phase you can buy all, people as
mercenaries to make war, the media, the young generation by “groups for democracy”, politicians,
institutions, governments (see online James Risen). The money is concentrated so much that the power is no
more with the governments. The Anglo-American laisser-faire-capitalism always needs a war because of its
internal contradictions. In Neo-Liberalism, nature has become an exploitable resource and human converted
to "human capital". “Being” is replaced by “having”, “being alive” is replayed by “consuming”. The
unwritten law is: Don't be! Because “to be” means to be in exchange with the unique world, to be alive.
When I look at our neo-liberal way of life in the global context, in the context of the needs of all humanity
and the ecological sustainability of the earth, I recognize its true, destructive character. How can unconscious
consumerism convert to a conscious, lifestyle with solidarity? The worker becomes a "thing" that can be
“used”. He loses his humanity. Instead of being a purpose in itself, he becomes a purpose for others. The
purpose of production is no longer merely to satisfy human needs. The value of a product is replaced by its
exchange value, the money. It no longer matters whether the work makes sense personally or socially,
whether it makes the worker ill, destroys nature and much more. It legitimizes itself solely by its exchange
value, by generating money. Alienated work alienates man from himself and his fellow man, from his
products and his work as well as from nature. Food produced exclusively under the priority of profit is
harmful to health and destroys the soils. It is more profitable for the pharmaceutical industry if as many
people as possible are ill for as long as possible. The dogmas of Neo-liberalism are: Competition instead of
mutual support, private property instead of community or public ownership, bank rescue instead of human
rights, entrepreneurial freedom as a law of the jungle, efficiency instead of asking for sense, land
consolidation instead of natural landscape, resource wars instead of international law and so on.
Neo-Liberalism (summary) 3.3.2019
We can see live, that the Neo-Liberalism destroys the planet, generates incredible contradictions (Oxfam: 8
people have as much as half of mankind, highly perverse!) and is full of internal contradictions.
The Neo-Liberalism has a shocking short-term thinking. Neo-Liberalism ruins the agricultural space,
concerning Profit, civil war, war and conflicts are good for that, short term lasting products are good for the
profit, if as many as possible are sick for the maximal time, if there is no alternative cancer-treatment etc it is
good for the profit. Protecting the environment generates costs, but otherwise we destroy our future. The
people who support that System want to extend their own power by that (buying companies with valueless
paper etc). It is not that the privileged start to help poor, the opposite seems to be the case. Warren Buffet
communicated ‚there's class warfare, all right, but it's my class, the rich class, that's making war, and we're
winning‘. www.goodreads.com/quotes/123058-there-s-class-warfare-all-right-but-it-s-my-class-the;
Wherever Neo-Liberalism is implemented like in Honduras, Ukraine, Brazil violence increases, and the
general status of the country is in a dramatic decline. We need alternatives urgently!
The figures concerning poverty are questionable, 22.2.2019
From Jason Hickel, “The Tyranny of Growth”: With tricks poverty is well-talked! E.g. changing the
comparison year from 2000 to 1990. Because the decreases of hunger and poverty in the decade from 1990
to 2000 took place to a very high proportion in China.
The number of hungry people was corrected from 786 million in 1990 to 833 million to influence the result.
China is responsible for three quarters of the success claimed by the United Nations.
13
In 2012, the method used to calculate the number of starving people in the world was changed. Thanks to the
new method, there has been an almost steady decrease in the number of hungry people worldwide since
1990. However, based on the method used by the FAO until 2012, there is a continuous increase in the
number of hungry people. There was a peak in 2009.
According to FAO, 30% of the world's population suffer from deficiency symptoms.
Vitamin A deficiency can cause blindness. With no less than 13 million children a year, this
deficiency actually leads to blindness.
According to WHO estimates, 200,000 children are born deformed each year due to a lack of folic
acid.
Zinc deficiency causes 400,000 deaths per year.
Decline of Africa by Neo-Liberalism 22.2.2019
Africa in the 1960s and 1970s: the part of the world richest area with raw materials in the 1960s and 1970s
was a self-sufficient and net exporter of food". The total debt amounted to a very manageable $ 11 billion US
dollar. In addition, the continent enjoyed considerable economic growth of 3.2 percent.
Since the late 1970s, sub-Saharan states have been practically forced to introduce liberal trade and market
policies. Today, Africa is heavily dependent on food imports, has little economic growth and is in debt by
$300 billion (even though the money originally received has already been repaid four times)
Analysis, reflection and impulses on the current world situation 5.12.2019
Analysis, reflection and impulses on the current world situation
Analysis
Exploitation no longer takes place nationally, but internationally.
Although there is a high technical development, people are becoming more and more dissatisfied and
ill.
The wild capitalism (laisser-faire capitalism, neo-liberalism) destroys our livelihood and future by
short-term profit maximization.
Thinking too short ("quarterly thinking").
Too much concentration of power.
Uncontrolled financial industry (making money without performance generates very bad character
traits see online ex-banker Ronald Bernard. "They hate people"). Meaningless need arousal and too
fast throwing away of the products, this wastes the limited resources, resource wars are the result.
The exploitation of people and countries runs like in colonial times (neo-colonialism see film "We
come as friends”), there is war for resources and markets etc.
We are degraded to consumers and stupidity is making progress instead of being producers, as is the
case with human dignity and which creates great joie de vivre.
In a "laisser-faire" system (neo-liberalism), part of the population becomes a loser and they become a
social explosive (neo-Nazi problems).
Summary
The globally dominating and differently developed capitalist economic and financial system with its
legitimate goal of unconditional profit maximization naturally leads to ruthless cut-throat
competition, to short-lived and partly nonsensical products through the exploitation of people and
countries, the destruction of our planet as well as warlike distribution struggles for resources and
markets. This system is neither reasonable nor can it offer a humane life.
Strategy
- Analysis of who is offensively advancing this destructive system. One quickly finds what one is
looking for (1).
- Analysis of whether these externally supported groups are compatible with national interests.
- Take appropriate measures (politely, clearly, publicly, legally, etc.).
- Good ideas can motivate people e.g. the Belt & Road initiative (Christina von Dreien ) or a new
awareness communicated.
14
- The goal must be a sustainable production of durable goods.
- Fair prices for the poor countries so that they can preserve their nature and participate in the
world market in health, joie de vivre and dignity ("selective world market participation"). Fair trade
is the right approach.
- Good relations between all countries to secure peace.
- Independent mediators to reduce international tensions.
- Control over the financial system by the state.
- Establishment of a direct representation of the people ("Swiss model").
- Elimination of excessive lobbying (transparency!) and infiltration by secret societies.
- Effective cartel offices that pay attention to a balance of power and prevent a concentration of
power that is too great.
- Enlightenment, transparency and monitoring through free journalism (e.g. globalresearch.ca;
https://southfront.org)
Impulses
- When prosperity is more homogeneously distributed, all, the non-privileged materially win, the
privileged idealistically.
- To perceive oneself as a whole organism, if a part suffers, everyone suffers.
- Man must be the most important and not too much an idea and money, Mammon.
- Professional representatives of the non-privileged (trade unions, unemployed representatives)
can provide justice.
- Trade unions need to internationalized. The NGOs that work for justice also.
- The NGOs must not be infiltrated and misused for certain purposes.
- The awareness "together we are all more", how can we learn from each other.
- The financial market must again be under state control and not vice versa.
- The military industrial complex must be under strict state control and not vice versa.
- The common good must be protected by law and not rewarded to those who work against it.
- Public recognition of social benefits can motivate people to do so.
- Solidarity tax instead of wealth tax and distinction for those who are particularly committed in
this respect.
- Laws to guarantee the longevity of products.
- Parity representatives of all ethnic groups and classes in parliament.
- Clear transparency with which lobby representatives the politicians have contacted and what the
content was.
- No secret "elite circles" where politicians are manipulated. But more contact to the citizens by
citizen telephones, contact possibilities etc..
- The rich are often lonely, isolated people.
Here others can help you get ahead.
- Environmental tax in the sense that anyone who causes major environmental damage to the
community must also pay more and vice versa.
Examples and successes
- Partial aspects have already been successfully implemented in many different ways.
- Particular successes of the pragmatic social ecological market economy are Brazil (under Lula),
Ecuador, Portugal and Germany.
Ways to realization
- We need a global Glass-Steagall partitioning system for the banks immediately (separation of
investment-bancing and others).
- We need a national bank with government loans for investment in infrastructure and the real
economy.
- We need a new Bretton Woods credit system that can help the development of the planet,
especially in the energy sector.
- We need to replace the geopolitics and confrontation against nations with confidence-building
cooperation to achieve the common goals of humanity.
- No religion must be misused to exercise power over people or to justify anything. Human must be
respected as a free being.
15
- Reacting and acting instead of debating, lamenting and fantasizing. Freedom cannot be "debated" but must
be fought for intelligently.
- Transforming the fruits of anger into constructive activities.
- Make the above honest Internet information sources known.
- Contribute your own content to the various sites.
- Make Youtube videos on the various topics.
- Address and write to NGOs, politicians, political parties.
- Networking with other like-minded people.
Costs and implementation
The above aspects only cost courage and the ability to make decisions. The profit is beyond the imaginable.
The implementation is already partial.
Prevention
Bread and games is the successful strategy "we are doing well". The clever one is awake and resists the
beginnings.
From the film human, the mankind of Yann Arthus Betrhrand, at 1:30 min
Human aspects 3.1.2019
Happiness is not in the solitude of "I". It is coming by conversion of „me“ to „we“.
Everyone has a desire to do something good. Maybe a basis for a new humanity that overcomes
fear?
Discovering the mystery of life and humanity.
Loneliness is a modern disease. It lets people die earlier.
A community helps people to become free.
Old people's home as a kind of flat-sharing community, where everyone can help.
The love for people is very decisive, not only the love for good ideas.
Understanding the drama of the poor and of exclusion.
Believe on the wonders of change. To judge often means to exclude somebody.
Humanity changes a situation. To give dignity to the poor.
The gap between rich and poor is so great that they do not dare to approach the poor.
When we work together, we overcome the small difficulties.
Globalization of indifference.
Wellness culture makes us insensitive to the needs of others.
The world can change through the intelligence of love and patience.
Our ethnicity is the human family. Having a broad view of life. We must think universally!
No one is so poor that he cannot help another who is poorer.
Many have received so much, maybe they can give too?
We have the responsibility to bring hope.
Belt & Road initiative
In the Belt & Road initiative, some of the above visions are present and partly already realized. It is a choice
between plague and cholera, and the Belt & Road initiative is clearly to be assigned to the economy of life,
whereas the other is the economy of death, which we will then follow (nuclear war, etc.).
Aspects for Peace 3.5.2019
It seems that the ambition of some groups are to generate enmity (often by lies) so that countries should start
fighting each other and some countries make business and get richer and might dominate the others! In a
destabilized country it is very easy to get access to the government, media and the resources. But nations can
only lose by going in confrontation or fighting! Violence generates a pay-back. Sometimes by terrorist acts
(nuclear power-plants are very sensitive!). It is also very important to understand, that the “enemy” might be
manipulated by propaganda. For all problems there are peaceful solutions by compromises etc! Fighting or
16
war is a human defeat and in most of the cases senseless, as we can see with the fight against terrorism.
National borders do not have the meaning any more in our modern world, look at Europe! Fighting for
resources often threatens the resources themselves. But with fair negotiations all partners could have a
benefit. If countries have a good income by resources, it is also a good business-partner. Territorial or
resource issues could be solved by mediators like Kazakhstan or support of NGO’s (search for “transnational
peace NGO”).
If we generate new blocks (Russia and China / USA), we must be aware that with the nuclear-
weapons available today, we can destroy the whole world! It could be the end of our civilization. Only
with one EMP-bomb, you can destroy the complete electronics in a country and you will be in the middle
age! We are one world with common challenges, and we have no time for this strategic games of “divide
and dominate”! There are too many global challenges like the climate change, environment issues, resources
and excessive money in too few hands, poverty and migration and terrorism also as a result of this. We have
to return to a world-community and solve these problems together! If we are not cooperating, we might
end like the people on Easter Islands: They haven’t been able to adapt to necessary changes, they started to
fight each other and the two tribes almost extinguished each other completely! This should be a warning to
the world! May be we have to unite to prevent that in any case! We have so much to share, we can learn so
much from each other and united we are strong, and we can define global rules for example for the finance
system for the benefit of all. The belt & road-initiative is based on that spirit of a world community.
Countries who live from conflicts by selling weapons might be in panic now.
In war, man becomes a wolf to other human. Through peace man becomes human again.
Nothing is lost with peace but with war everything can be lost.
In war, irrationality prevails.
We must listen in order to understand the situation and generate peace.
Patience in the search for peace.
Everything can change, also man can change.
To offer a culture of peace, a life in peace.
All wars are dirty.
People are promised a lot before the war, but that is often not realistic.
Human being is a social being! 22.2.2019
It is not individuality, but social togetherness that characterizes people - at least this is what recent researc
has shown. Neurobiology today explicitly starts from the "social brain" of the human being or from the
"social construction of the human brain". One reason for this assumption is also the oxytocin. This is the
"trust hormone".
- Loneliness is twice as harmful as obesity.
- Loneliness is just as harmful as 15 cigarettes a day. Loneliness is just as harmful as alcohol abuse- .
- Cause of death: Loneliness
- Greatest fear: Exclusion
That means, human being it the social being par excellence;
Psychologist Julianne Holt-Lunstadt seventy studies with 3.4 million people:
What are we waiting for? (27.6.2018)
Anyone who waits for some miracle to free us from the predicament of the world will wait in vain for
eternity. Always the change came from the base. It began with courageous looking, compassion with those
affected, enlightening the ignorant and sparking a courageous desire for change. This requires the
complementary cooperation of each of the human family, because we are all in the same boat. (S&G-Info
Suisse)
John Perkins about “How countries are made dependent” and how to protect (29.4.2019)
Countries are very vulnerable to external interference. It seems that the system of neo-liberalism generates
pathological greed and there are no borders to limit that “sickness”. When the finance-crisis to place at
2009, one banker in TV looked very unburdened, because he might feel “finally you can heal me now”.
Should we wait for “healing” of these victims of their obsession until all is collapsed?
17
John Perkins knows what he's talking about, he was an "Economic Hit Man".
On behalf of large corporations, the economic killer has led countries around the world to oversize
investments, combined with large loans and contracts awarded to American companies. The
calculated debt gave the US government a means of exerting pressure in order to assert its own
political and economic interests in the country. Perkin's story documents the unscrupulousness of
economic killers who perfect their fraudulent methods and do not even shy away from murder.

Impulses concerning economic development (Overview) 26.2.2019
Nowadays we see that even left-wing countries have an excellent economic growth like China, Vietnam,
Brazil (Lula, Dilma Rousseff), Ecuador (Correa) etc.
- Vietnam kept the big companies under governmental control but divided them that they have to make
competition.
- If the internal market is not yet strong it needs to be protected.
- Income-generation by pre-processing of the resources and agricultural products (Solar drying etc) and
others direct in the country prior to selling it.
- Regional currencies ensure more financial independence and regional economic growth (see model of
Silvio Gesell etc).
- Maybe offering attractive labor conditions like part-time-jobs or home office to motivate the people. The
result can be valued more than the physical presence of the worker.
- Making a “job initiative” with successful business-people to consult, presenting ideas and business-
models. Internet-based trainings for business can be offered
- Internet based services can be offered worldwide.
- Establish at least the basic production for the people in the country, food, medicine and energy.
- Keeping the banks under governmental control might avoid the excesses and corruption we have now. In
the future banks might play a more subordinate role.
- Controlling the drug-business: It is a huge market but often controlled by dark web and dark structures. It
is more save for the people if the government controls it by legalizing the “harmless” drugs like Marijuana,
fixing a maximal THC-level. That will ensure work and taxes by that.
- Motivating the people to run their own business, giving good credits, consultant and proposals.
- Ensure companies that they can easily access the material they need. Maybe organizing that several
companies cooperate on that.
- concerning education, Germany has the dual-system that means beside the university a high-school with a
high degree of practice in companies ensure well educated people for the industry.
- Organic agriculture is labor intense but generates healthy food and does not destroy our nature, the basis
for the civilization.
- Concerning energy new methods are available now. South Korea (InfinitySAV) offers production licenses
for a magnetic generator, Germany, Austria and Switzerland bought the production-license for 100.000 Euro.
30.000 orders came already.
- Concerning medicine alternative treatments like Acupuncture, Homeopathic, traditional medicine are
cheap and interesting labor-generating methods in cooperation with pharmaceutical treatments.
New perspectives and impulses
Consumption in the rich countries has risen sharply. The Earth Overshoot day (www.overshootday.org/)
clearly shows this. The worldwide Overshoot Day was 1987 on 19 December. In 2018 on 1 August!
Here is the order: China (1.4 billion inhabitants), USA (330 million inhabitants), India (1.3 billion
inhabitants), Russia (145 million inhabitants), Brazil (209 million inhabitants), Japan (127 million
inhabitants), Indonesia (264 million inhabitants), Germany (83 million). Of course this has to be seen per
inhabitant and the USA is unbeatable.
Studies show that the most satisfied people are the lower middle class. From then on it decreases
continuously. Right at the top and in misery there is little satisfaction. People in Germany were asked about
their satisfaction in the 70s and today, 2019. Satisfaction has not increased. But consumption! So the rich
countries have to go other ways to become more satisfied?
18
A short story: During my study-time we bought a second-hand Mercedes-Benz to transfer and sell it later
for a good price in Syria (such a nice country!). The car was really amazing and a sensation! But only for 6
weeks! Then it was just a device to bring me from A to B and the emotions returned to normal and nobody
care about it anymore. Later a friend in a poor country asked for financial support for free food for children
(a low amount). I think that good food is very crucial for children for the development of the brain and vice
versa! Now every week nice pictures are coming from the children and such gratefulness touches my heart
and it makes me happy again and again for many years! To summarize, with the same money I generated
deep joy and gratefulness for such a long time! Rotary club, the Lions club and many more had been
founded, because privileged realized from a certain level on there is little human development unless people
start to share. And then it is unlimited and deep joy is taken place! So, if I want to be a professional egoist, I
care about other people and the world. Then I develop from “I” to “we” which is a universe. So hopefully
many people can share that experience! Stop!
It is argued that the industry will no longer sell its products! Not really! As other countries develop, huge
new markets emerge, with grateful customers and low advertising costs. These countries need purchasing
power. That's what they get when the rich countries pay more for their raw materials and (agricultural)
products. Fair trade is the right approach. How can this be achieved? If the commodity exporting countries
organize themselves, they could try that. For agricultural products, a good market price could establish in
competition with Asia (who pays best). Land grabbing and free trade agreements are likely to have the
opposite effect. People in poor countries communicate that we don't want your alms, we want fair prices for
our products.
The current crisis cannot be solved only by technical solutions, it is also an ethical issue.
The language of the heart is important now, and not just of the mind for a constructive change of the
world.
We need to come from an “Elite-thinking” to a Systemic, holistic and networked thinking.
Everything an individual has significant impact on his environment. It is thinking and acting in
relationships and their interactions, by an appreciative attitude and the orientation towards resources
and solutions. Systemic thinking starts from the idea of constructed realities and relies on the
dynamics of self-organization processes. It invites to look at things differently, to think in a different
way, to perceive differences, to promote diversity. It offers options for complex situations and
challenges. This can affect many activities like Pedagogics (https://systemische-gesellschaft.de/)
Another world is possible! The consciousness of a world community can bring us ahead. If we see
humanity as an organism, then we can come a bit closer to the paradise. The cancer cells are the
people who stuck in their development and see only their own interest. What a pity, that they have
not yet access to the cosmos of a world-family and community with unlimited experiences and many
ways to contribute to the great Unit. When a part of the body suffers, the whole body will suffer!
New live is born under pain. So we are in the phase of pain
Everything is linked with each other. When we heal the body, we all live healthier.
Working on a world community generates deep joy and satisfaction.
Friends of mankind come together and create a world with justice and a sustainable future.
We need a social order of peace.
A movement for life with a lot of cheerfulness and good relationships
The love of life motivates us.
Humanism does not give up anyone
How much power it can give people if they do something useful?
The dialectic is a process that feeds on opposites
Nature says, limit yourself, be modest!
No revolution but reforms
Nature has a tendency to balance!
Cooperation instead of competition, solidarity instead of envy and fight.
If there is a confrontation, there might be a laughing third?
Perceive an enrichment in other people and not enmity! We can learn a lot from each other!
Redistribute the wealth instead of more growth! The resources are limited!
Return to a natural balance. We can learn a lot from nature. Nations are self-organized systems and
too much interference might destroy the motivation and stability.
19
There is something absolute that cannot be negotiated!
Social transformation is organic and comes from reorganization, not from the destruction of the
existing.
We must perceive the given freedom and actively shape change ourselves.
The enlightenment and spreading of thoughts which inspire to think and act is more important than
the strike.
Do not fight power through power!
It's time to make a common world for all of us. A global community.
We must all pull together.
Robert Pawelke-Klaer www.marktlehre.de: The public debt, a self-deception
The alternative to capitalism is the market economy and can only be the market economy itself. Its core is
the social division of labour, which, like any division of labour, is based on the competition of cooperation
and does not consist of competition.
Life and economy take place in the here and now. Market economy is when money serves the economy.
Capitalism is when economy serves money.
By giving others more money than they need, we deprive the market of money, whose task it is to be a
means of distribution.
Money is not a store of value, money is a means of distribution.
The capitalist credit ideology serves exclusively to make the collection of treasures, of money treasures,
appear as a social behavior.
We are coming to the Age of Anthropocene now (hopefully peaceful) where human will design the
world with responsibility, respect and cooperation with the natural processes. Working with the nature and
cooperation on eye-level generates win/win-situations. Where we understand that all is linked with each
other! And that privileged are not long privileged if they don’t care about the unprivileged and the world is
not a chess-game. Maybe it is part of our human dignity and destination to work for justice on all levels (na-
tion, world), also to maximize the market-participants? A “good life for all” means more then only to maxi-
mize consuming of products.
A lot of our work is done by machines and it will be more. The common wealth increases, so the
salary should rise as well. If that’s the case, people can work less (3-4 days a week?) and have much more
happiness and satisfaction. In the free time they can decide themselves what they want to do according to
their personality. And that will be excellent, because they do it often with compassion.
Gandhi said “there is enough for all but not enough for the greed of few”. The greed might be
generated by the internal emptiness and is unlimited and may be a big problem! The Neo-Liberalism wants
to make us to uniform excessive consumers and threatens our unique culture. But being producer prior of be-
ing consumer, Music, Art, Literature, traditional dance, deep friendship and relations, respect of the family
and focus on our rich cultural and maybe religious resources can bring us ahead to a balanced system not
only strong in technological aspects with a rich internal life and enough time for all and away of the never
ending destructive greed. That means may be the future is also more cultural development which generates
business as well.
More impulses for a sustainable future (2.11.2018)
Utopias are not a road-map to paradise, but visions of a new society that we are striving for.
Qualitative growth instead of quantitative growth,
Replacing “to have” by “to be”.
Producing foods collectively
Compensatory consumption. Satisfy needs not through consumption, but through work.
Qualitative change in consumer behavior, quantitative restriction.
Lobby groups often exert too much influence on politics. A lobby levy (“Lobby-tax”) could provide
money for public welfare-oriented interest groups so that the other side also has opportunities.
The economy and the common good should have priority over individual interests. In Neo-
liberalism, the opposite is the reality.
Consumer initiatives with local products
The privileged nations often have lack in the midst of wealth. Lack of clean air, nature, social
20
contacts etc.
Consumerism is a form of slavery.
Liberation is not like a walk in the park, it needs a long breath, persistence, and pragmatic steps.
A self-sufficient economy would employ everyone. There is no need to be predatory.
The best development aid is land for people
Refusal of colonial exploitation.
Large companies are very inflexible and unproductive. Nationalize or group them into competing
units.
Not individualized community. Everyone contributes something to “the big picture”, together we
have a bigger space.
The old ways of thinking and acting must die. Solidarity instead of egoism
A society that does not develop visions is not sustainable.
Production for the needs and not only for the money.
Transformation of egoistic intentions into services for the community. If the people realize the
potential of development and happiness by that, they might be motivated.
More money for small farmers who operate sustainable and reforestation programs.
A new thinking and awareness is needed, a holistic approach, a holistic ecology.
What gives you solidarity, money can never give you.
If we work cooperatively, we can progress.
Production facilities managed by councils.
Agricultural cooperatives worked better in East Germany during the communism than in West
Germany.
In Yugoslavia, the system also worked very well. So it had to be destroyed?
Production instead of speculation
The economic activities have to be investigated according to their environmental impact.
Economic, love and humanity has to come back to balance.
A economy based on solidarity. More money for the service on human.
The social development should follow the technological development.
Participatory and collaborative forms of government
Away from the throwaway society, into the circular economy
Participatory Economics by Rudolf Hahn
Model by Wörgl to get the money in circulation. Wörgler Freigeld, Regiogeld.
Peer Economy
Worker should identify themselves with the product.
Good work is supposed to produce good and useful things that allows an acceptable standard of
living.
A law for to make a list of the “common good”-contribution of a company would improve a lot.
Cooperation instead of competition
From “enemy-thinking” towards a solution-oriented thinking.
Thinking of people that most have a good core and meet people at eye level.
Thematic parties are also important
We must identify where money is enriched without performance and stop these capital flows. There
are some who are interested in high indebtedness and public debt.
The poor have to fight to survive and the rainforest brings money. It is not good for everyone if we
challenge this.
Protection of investments prior to protection of the environment or vice versa?
That is communicated by the Neo-Liberalism! Is that the famous dance around the golden cow? Dance
around the mammon? Profit dominates all?
But that has the stigma of disdain for the environment and as a consequence for human being.
Profit without a benefit for the majority of people do not make sense (Dr. Angela Merkel)
Without a healthy environment human gets sick and we cannot survive!
On the other side, companies often use their money for to invest more in automation and less work
21
for human.
A saturated market often does not use the money in a reasonable way. More and more speculation is
coming up! But speculation can be poison for a nation and a national economy.
More consumer have to be generated first by a better distribution of the money.
What generates happiness? Maybe we need a Paradigm-change that all get more happy?
Gladness is not just a feeling that I can request upon command. Gladness is an expression of a
fulfilled life. I can try to live my life with all my senses. Then I will also get in contact with the
gladness that is hidden inside me. The more consciously I live, the more I will feel the gladness in
me. There is gladness in each one of us. But often we are cut off this gladness. We can train coming
in contact with the inner gladness. It widens our heart. When we feel the gladness in us, things are
easier for us to do. Then our life gets a different taste. And it cures our whole life. It creates
relationship and gives us liveliness. Every day there are many little things that we can enjoy. It needs
open eyes to be happy with my life. So gladness costs nothing but attention: "We see something
beautiful, we hear something that touches us, somethings starts to flower…". (based on Anselm
Gruen).
The more rich the people get, the more they have a longing for good relations and other not
materialistic issues. That means it does not really make Sense, to concentrate too much money in too
few hands.
Good news!
There are successful activities at UN-level of many countries to forbid nuclear-weapons. Nuclear
weapons are not compatible to educated cultural human because you threaten the whole mankind, it gener-
ates only looser! A regional conflict has the potential to cause mass starvation worldwide through envi-
ronmental effects. Even a “small” nuclear war between India and Pakistan, with each country detonating 50
Hiroshima-size atom bombs—only about 0.03 percent of the global nuclear arsenal—as air bursts in urban
areas, could produce so much smoke that temperatures would seriously fall, shortening the growing season
around the world and threatening the global food supply. Furthermore, there would be massive ozone deple-
tion, allowing more ultraviolet radiation to reach Earth’s surface. Recent studies predict that agricultural pro-
duction in parts of the United States and China would decline by about 20 percent for four years, and by 10
percent for a decade. www.globalresearch.ca/self-assured-destruction-the-climate-impacts-of-nuclear-war-
mass-starvation-ozone-depletion/5586215. We should not forget the “depopulation-program” (see online) of
the “deep state” inside USA. Henry Kissinger, who is still consulting the US-government, communicated in
the national security Memorandum 200, “We must use wars, hunger and diseases to reduce the world
population below 500 million people”. May be nuclear weapons should be used for that? But that would
mean the end of human civilization! But we are human! Why we don’t fight for freedom, live and our
future?
Warning to Humanity
15,364 scientist from 184 countries Warning to Humanity published by BioScience, November 2017
http://scientists.forestry.oregonstate.edu/sites/sw/files/Ripple_et_al_warning_2017.pdf
Since 1992, CO2 emissions have increased by 62 percent and temperatures worldwide by 29 percent. At the
same time, the biodiversity of vertebrate species has declined by 29 percent. "
Per capita, 26 percent less fresh water is available worldwide today. The oxygen-poor death zones in the
ocean have increased by about 75 percent. Nearly 300 million acres of forest land have been cleared since
1992.
Plants, animals, insects, fish and other species perform tasks that are also important for human survival,
including oxygen production, water purification and flower pollination, that corresponds to about 105 to 125
trillion Euro per year.
Some proposed solutions: Set up more parks and wildlife sanctuaries, tackle wildlife trafficking, switch to
plant-based nutrition, expand women's education and family planning, and increase the use of renewable
energy and other "green" technologies.
Are the problems due to “overpopulation” of the Earth? Do we need “depopulation”? (1.6.19)
The UN and the World Bank communicates that there are too many people on the planet.
22
In the film Population Boom (2013), of Werner Boote we see that overpopulation is unfounded. The earth
has enough food and enough space for necessary additional cultivation to supply more than 7 billion people.
This "fear" is based on another fact: there is not enough living space available, because the earth's surface is
not balanced available to all people, but relatively much living space is used by relatively few "owners".
The supply bottlenecks were not due to the fact that the necessary agricultural space did not exist, but
because the areas did not meet the requirements of the capitalist system: A country that cannot pay for food
cannot be supplied with food. In order to do this, it would have to take credits, which generate vicious circle
of debt. The undersupply is therefore the inability or unwillingness of the ruling system to find a solution.
People are the engine of economic growth.
Countries with more people are also more powerful.
Population reduction has been encouraged so that the power of certain countries is not threatened.
The problem is not that there are too many people, but that the country belongs to the rich.
People who communicate "overpopulation" fear that today's poor people will demand more
consumption in the future.
Europe's "land footprint" is at least 1.5 times its own area.
The inhabitants of the city of New York consume more energy in one day than the entire African
continent.
Every 8th person suffers from hunger, which is 13% of the world's population or 1.1 billion people.
80 percent of the world's population live on less than ten dollars a day.
The topic of overpopulation is a diversion of other problems.
The problems are the greed, banks, energy-concerns and pharmaceutical concerns.
The Neo-Liberalism system is the main problem.
Nobody talks about the problem of consumption of the rich.
Poor countries are forced to "modern" agriculture so that Agro-industry earns money.
In the crisis, the poor survive, not the rich. Because the poor are used to scarcity.
The Pentagon is a very large consumer of oil.
Losses in production in Africa, for example, and excessively discarded food in OECD countries
together account - according to Inra - for between 30 and 50 percent of agricultural production.
It is not important how many we are, but how we deal with each other.
On climate change and other environmental issues, George Monbiot says population growth in developing
countries is insignificant compared to the consumption and emissions of developed countries. To see
population growth as the main cause of environmental problems means "shifting the blame from the rich to
the poor". The industrialized countries, whose population is barely growing, have a larger ecological
footprint than the developing countries. Organizations like Optimum Population Trust feel that these
countries are really overpopulated (see links).
The decisive factor is therefore not only the number of people, but also their consumption of resources per
capita. People in developing countries use significantly fewer resources, but are most affected by the
consequences of environmental problems. On the other side the birth rates have fallen in many developing
countries. The Pro-Life organization Population Research Institute argues that previous forecasts of
overpopulation and the resulting disasters have not come true.
The largest ecological footprint in 2010 was in UAE with 10.68 gha/person, Qatar with 10.51 gha/person,
Bahrain with 10.4 gha/person, USA with 8.00 gha/person etc. The lowest is in Bangladesh (0.62 gha/person)
and Puerto Rico (0.04 gha/person).

Living Sustainable
In the nature we can see that there is no waste. All is integrated in a circular system and working
23
sustainable with the benefit for all. Human is implementing a linear system and we are facing natural
limitations in many aspects now. How we can convert that system to a sustainable circular system? We
threaten the planet Earth seriously at the moment. But not because we are too much! Maybe because we
don’t live in balance with nature? But there are many solutions to ensure that!
Eating much meat threatens our health dramatic and the environment and generates so much hunger? So
we can serve us, the poor people and the planet very easy! This has enormous positive effects
immediately!
According to investigations, the Earth can feed 12 billion people. But a lot is thrown away. Better
conservation techniques like Solar drying of drying by Vacuum (see “waste taste”) can improve that
situation of wasted food.
Solar-Thermal hot water for the shower, laundry, cooking, potable water (Tea) and many more can help a
lot. But in that we do a lot already!
We can use the endless and free energy like solar, wind, free energy and many more to generate electricity
and avoid the climate change. We can use the magnetic motor in the future which could generate free
and endless energy 24 hours, 365 days and he works! In the Internet many templates are visible already.
There are shops where products are sold unpacked in used and stable container and not packaging waste
is used. Why so many things are packed in plastic? More material which could be reused?
Buying more products second-hand and sell our old products at Ebay etc that others can use it?
Building products more in a way, that they can be reused easily as new products. Professor Michael
Braungart call this process “cradle to cradle”.
Cooking more with gas, which is a primary energy and more efficient like electricity.
When we are young, many like it to have a strong car to present it. Later other topics like responsibility
might be dominant. But the car industry builds motors like we are always adolescent.
Electrical cars could be cheaper, because they need much fewer parts and resources and they are build on
mass-standard-equipment.
This was one fall of mankind, to use food to make energy (e.g. gasoline) and highly inefficient. Although
we need the soil very urgent for food and ruin the soil with that!
Generating more safe space to drive with (electrical) bikes, which is much more efficient in urban areas
and often faster. We have excellent and advanced equipment available!
Take more care of the Super-precious humus-layer of 15 cm which can feed us without artificial
components? It is the most precious resource we have on Earth, because it generates all live on the
planet! Too much fertilizer and herbicide threatens the soil and makes us dependent. Big flood might be
the consequence. We can use this humus more as a good CO2-storage.
We can use the natural fertilizer-techniques like Terra Preta, compost etc. which can enrich the humus-
layer a lot.
We can use more integrated agricultural techniques like Perma-culture, to generate more yield on the
same area. On the other side it would generate a lot of “good” and labor intense jobs at the beginnuing.
Good because in nature, free and creative. Food will be a crucial topic in the future and “good food” a
business!
We can use more the free and good rain-water for irrigation, washing and cleaning.
Water is mainly a transporting media. We can recycle it locally by Grey-water recycling-units etc.
If we pay too low prices for resources and agricultural products of poor countries, people threaten the
environment due to poverty and desperation and business-markets collapse and all will lose.
We can use the human excreta and urine for what it is supposed to be, a very precious fertilizer if treated
properly. A dry toilette saves a lot of precious potable water! Any excreta can be converted to excellent
soil. Urine is an excellent fertilizer.
We can waste less precious time for many (not all!) low-level media-presentations, instead of working for
sustainable solutions, which is much more exciting and creative. And we are not consumer but
producer.
Why we don’t go the constructive path? Because some companies make obsessive profit on the account
of the future of all? The problem is not the people who do that, but the system who allows that! Maybe a
new law could help to ensure that companies have to work for the common welfare and not against
it?
How to implement that? Our money can decide a lot about the future combined with good political
regulations. What we buy will be produced. Good films are available to communicate that.
What we can do? Eating less meat, if possible less milk and mild products, there are good replacement.
Buying and selling products second hand, using more the bike, buying more organic-products, buying
24
more fair and sustainable products, trying to convert rubbish to “reusable” and seperate according
materials (plastic, paper, glass, wood, electronic etc).
A good film to motivate people to think about their eating habits: “Hope for all” of Nina Messinger.
A good film with examples is “Tomorrow” by Cyril Dion.
A good film about soil is “Humus – Forgotten climate aid”
Reducing water-problems (2.7.2017)
Water is a crucial issue. It is the most precious resource on Earth! Some impulses.
Using showers instead of baths (baths: 150 l, showers 60 l). In the past there was a washbowl and
washcloths (20 l).
When washing hands with soap, close the faucet in between
Using a tooth mug for cleaning the tooth.
Only briefly flush the toilet or use a toilette with an “economy button”,
Run the dishwasher in an Eco-washing cycle
Clean fruit and vegetables in a bowl.
Use economy shower head and flow limiter: There are devices connected to the Tap or shower for
using less water for washing hands and shower (by mixing with oxygen).
Laundry and dish-washing use around 20 percent of total household water. Cleaning laundry
efficiently: Washing machines should be fully loaded.
Thanks to modern cold washing agents, lower temperatures are usually sufficient.
Even in older washing machines there are often programs with shorter washing times and less water
consumption.
Washing without prewashing is often not a loss of comfort, but it saves a lot of water, energy and
protects the clothes. If the laundry is very dirty, it is better to wash longer instead of hotter.
The laundry can also be pre-treated with special soap.
For washing agents there are natural substitutes to protect the water like washing with the soapnut
and washing balls with ceramics.
Replace old devices by energy and water-saving versions.
The tap is dripping, there is a leak in the shower hose and the cistern is leaking? Porous seals can
easily be replaced. Using vinegar to remove lime.
70 % of the water is used for agriculture and garden. Professional irrigation-technologies like
irrigation in the late night, drip-irrigation or sub-surface drip-irrigation (see extra document) can
save a lot water and protect the soil (less salination): The looser the soil, the better the water reaches
the plants.
Mulching covers the soil with grass cuttings, bark or compost. This keeps plant roots cool, the soil
loses moisture more slowly and weed growth is slowed down.
Watering at the right time: preferably in the early morning or evening hours
Water the lawn only in dryness or not at all, it recovers quickly in the rain!
Increasing the water price with releasing hints how to save water could motivate to save water.
Collect rain-water and use it for irrigation and toilette. It is perfect for irrigation because it has no
salt and minerals like osmosis water.
Using ocean-water with reverse-osmosis plants to get sweet-water for all (needs energy but the
membrane gets more cheap now!).
A lot of water is used for power-generation. Using more wind and Solar-energy could reduce the
water-demand.
Grey-water recycling (water of the washing machine, shower etc) could save a lot. Bigger units are
more efficient.
Getting potable water direct from the ambient-air by special textiles (3 liter / qm / day). See extra
document appropriate_technologies.
Business-impulse: Private company for investigation of water losses, consultant and
recommendation of changes and devices. There is a electronic device to verify water-losses.
25
Saving water with the toilette
Up do 1/3 of the home-water is used in many countries only for to flush the toilette. Especially older people
often go to toilette and every time a huge amount of water is wasted.
Nature is a circular-system and animal and human excreta should be used to increase the fertility of the soil.
See extra document Advanced_agriculture_technologies for more. But even if we are not using it for
agriculture we can save a lot of water by separate the Urine from the rest.
Buy a camping-toilette (about $ 25) and use it only for the Urine, it is protected against bad smell.
If if is not possible to use it for agriculture another way is to store it temporally and when feces need
to be flushed away, this Urine could be used including some more fresh water to flush all away. In
that way water used for toilette can be saved.
Motivating people could be by money they save for using less water. Ensure that buying this toilette
very easy for a good price could speed up the process.
If it is possible to collect the Urine a good business is to recycle it to get the precious nitrogen,
phosphorus and potassium back.
In order to avoid the little smell outside in the garden, it is possible to dig a plastic bottle (open at
both sides) in the ground and fill the bottle with Urine / water (using a funnel) and close it again on
the upper side (with a small hole in the lid) or leaving it open. In any case it is much more efficient
to bring the water deep in the soil and not on top (evaporation).
Business-impulse: Private company for distribution of Urine-collecting devices, collecting them filled and
professional recycling in the cities. The city needs less water and a precious resource for agriculture is
generated.
Meat consumption (3.6.2019)
More and more people live on earth, more and more people eat meat and other animal products. This can be
bad for health, e.g. because overweight puts pressure on the cardiovascular system. In any case, it is bad for
animals kept on mass farms - and for the environment, e.g. because climate-damaging gases are produced
during meat production.
Meat production is very energy-intensive (1 kg of meat requires on average 7 kg of grain) and water-
consuming. Due to mass animal husbandry, it is also very unhealthy (especially pork); vitamin B12 is not
only present in meat but also in dairy products, etc. Proteins are also sufficiently supplied by other foods.
The consumption of red meat and meat products leads to an increased risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Source: Epic (European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition)
Smart people eat less meat: www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/mensch/0,1518,454740,00.html
Solution? Crickets instead of goulash: Locusts, ants and spiders are considered a delicacy in Asia, Africa and
South America. Ecologists want to bring them also into European kitchens - in order to protect nature.

The Plastic planet 7.6.2019
We are living in the Plastic Age. 4 % of the Oil is used for Plastic.
The use of chemical additives is part of industrial plastics production. Plasticizers, fluorinated compounds
impregnate outdoor jackets. Brominated substances serve as flame retardants in electrical appliances and
furniture. The danger: Many of these substances are harmful to health. Over time, they escape from the
products and accumulate in indoor air and house dust. They also enter our bodies through respiration. The
group of hormonally active substances is particularly dangerous. They disturb the body's finely balanced
hormonal system.
More than 70% of the total production is now in waste streams, sent largely to landfill - although too much
of it just litters the wider environment, including the oceans. "We are rapidly heading towards 'Planet
Plastic', and if we don't want to live on that kind of world then we may have to rethink how we use some
materials, in particular plastic," Dr Roland Geyer told BBC News.
8,300 million tons of virgin plastics have been produced
Half of this material was made in just the past 13 years
About 30% of the historic production remains in use today
Of the discarded plastic, roughly 9% has been recycled
Some 12% has been incinerated, but 79% has gone to landfill
Shortest-use items are packaging, typically less than a year
Longest-use products are found in construction and machinery
Current trends point to 12 billion tons of waste by 2050
Recycling rates in 2014: Europe (30%), China (25%), US (9%)
But some elements of Plastic like Bisphenol-A harm human, 700 Studies prove that. But that’s not the only
problem. Plastic pollutes the oceans and the complete planet, and it takes quite a time to disappear. Only few
plastics is recycled. Some substances in plastic cause cancer and reduce fertility.
In Europe, 28% of plastic applications are for leisure and medical purposes, 6% for electronics and electrics,
7% for the automotive sector and 21% for construction. Packaging accounts for the largest share of plastics
consumption with 38%. The overall reusable beverage packaging quota fell from around 73.55% in 1993 to
46.86% in 2007 (Europe). (Source: PEMRG)
There is evidence that 267 different animal species worldwide fall victim to the garbage in the sea, including
turtles, seals, fish and crabs.
Southeast of Hawaii, the North Pacific Gyre has formed, twice the size of the US state of Texas mur with
plastic garbage that is crushed into tiny particles. Via the food chain, these toxins also accumulate in fish,
which we eat.
From our point of view, plastic products that smell and are soft are most likely to be avoided. The most
sensitive target group are children and hypersensitive persons.
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
Common PVC products: Drain pipes, window profiles; soft PVC: floor coverings, gaskets, imitation leather,
wallpaper, clothing, baby articles and children's toys.
-Soft PVC gives health-endangering plasticizers ob!
-Carcinogenic substances are released during PVC production!
-problematic PVC recycling!
Polycarbonate (PC)
Common PC products: Heat-resistant drinking vessels such as baby bottles and microwaveable dishes.
Attention: Release of a hormonally active substance! Bisphenol A is suspected of having a detrimental effect
on the hormonal system, of being harmful to reproduction and carcinogenic and of increasing the risk of a
heart attack. (Film Plastic Planet)

- Glass is the better packaging material, especially for food.
- Ireland reduced consumption by 95 percent with a plastic bag tax.
- In Denmark and Austria, bisphenol-A is banned for plastics for children.
- In Bangladesh and Zanzibar, it is not allowed to have plastic bags.
- Bioplastics could be the future. Some companies are working on it.

- In Japan they make one plastic collection action every year with young people on an Island. In 2 days 120
trucks of plastic is collected.
- Ridding the oceans of plastics by turning the waste into valuable fuel. An organic chemist and a sailboat
captain report that they are developing a process to reuse certain plastics, transforming them from worthless
trash into a valuable diesel fuel with a small mobile reactor that could operate on land or at sea.

Professional decisions in politics
Powerful politicians can act fast, but if they are manipulated it can end dramatic. Therefore why not a debate
about a topic? After that an anonymous decision of relevant colleagues. Nobody can be attacked or isolated
because of the decision in that way!
Or making an online-discussion (with a leader or moderator) and then evaluate it. People have good ideas!
Why not using that resource? And they have the feeling that they participate.
If we buy expensive equipment we consult at least two suppliers and compare the price and quality. For po-
litical decisions, may be it could help to avoid serious problems later on, if we consult several partners. E.g.
if one partner is consulting for military actions, why not consulting the relevant ministers of other countries
what they think about that? It might generate a more save decision. We all know that people hate to be domi-
nated by others so there will be endless trouble as we could see in Iraq or Afghanistan. If decisions are com-
municated by a group, for external it is more difficult making pressure on sfact thgey pecific person (bribery
or menace).
Business-impulse: Neutral consultants who have experience (Ex-politician?) and focus on the benefit of the
country. Often other pretend to be consultant but in fact they focus on their own goals.
Politics to ensure win/win-situations
The relations to the neighbors are crucial for the business, energy supply, peace and mutual learning. We
learn from other people which are different from us and ensure essential development. In companies they of-
ten use a “jour-fix” a regularly meeting for to exchange information and clarifications. Often it can be imple-
mented very easy by a secure video-conferencing-system. We all know that there are a lot of misunderstand-
ings and for all problems there are solutions by communication instead of confrontation. If we stay in con-
frontation and enmity there is a laughing third that might have a benefit from that?
How people feel satisfied?
It is a complex issue, but “bread and games” are crucial to keep the people silent, as the Romans identified.
Misery often results that people lose their dignity and don’t think on future consequences (environment etc.).
According to research work people feel most content at the lower border of the middle-class. And then it
decreases more and more. That means most super-rich people are less satisfied then the middle-class! That
offers interesting perspectives to save the planet!
Satisfaction is strongly based beside materialistic basic needs on family, social integration, cultural and reli-
gious activities, music, film, literature, freedom, the ability to express yourself in a creative way and more.
The more the contradictions are, the less people feel satisfied.
Money without effort (finance-speculation) is not very fair and might avoid human development.
Internal emptiness generates never ending greed! The world is not enough to satisfy that greed. May be we
need to step ahead in development to a society more strong in culture and internal richness. Music, film, lit-
erature etc. is also a big business-market! But these people who bring color to the world need fair salaries!
Online-streaming does not generate fair salaries!
Economical alternatives for the Neo-Liberalism (“laisser-faire”-capitalism)
According to the latest Oxfam-report (www.oxfam.org) 8 people (6 of USA!) have as much 3.6 billion peo-
28
ple, that is perverse and we need a change soon! Too much money and power in too few hands might be poi-
son for all, the real business and economy (statement of OECD), freedom, social development and threatens
the social peace!
The Neo-Liberalism (“laisser-faire”-capitalism) seems to be an instable system. It produces
shocking short term thinking, threatening our basis for living, the nature and environment. Automatic the
money is concentrated in too few hands after a certain time, speculation increases and the market collapses.
In desperation aggressive actions against other countries or war takes place. But by that other interesting
markets are destroyed as well (Iraq etc.). The laisser-faire-capitalism (Neo-Liberalism) supports all negative
aspects of human, greed, inconsiderateness, disdain for human and the nature, focus on being consumer in-
stead of being “producer”. We can see in USA that the Neo-liberalism failed with dramatic consequences.
Serious financial and social problems, shocking poverty, 13% have temporarily not enough to eat, incredible
contradictions, extreme violence and so many imprisoned! We need new solutions very urgent, before the
“laisser-faire capitalism” destroys the world!
We need to come from “capitalism” to economical “humanism”, human first, then profit!
Limitations for the upper salary (27.6.18)
Some are born to be craftsman, some to be manager. But human has a limitation in satisfaction by money
and products, soon there is a saturation. So the rest is wasted money and missing elsewhere where it is more
needed for the overall-performance and satisfaction.
In some companies the salary of the manager seems to be like in a self-service-shop, excessive! But, sorry, it
often does not correlate with creativity and energy to push something to the market. The opposite was Steve
Jobs of Apple and some others. Very modest but full of creativity and energy to implement it. The stress the
people have does not correlate with the income especially in the “finance-industry”. In this branch most is
fully automatic! A limitation could help all, the manager will have a better feeling to contribute to the
common welfare as well, the company is more competitive, the workers will consume more with the money.
Business-impulse: Professionals who work on impulses to convince the rich to share. Like getting an award
if they sponsored something. Or part of their money goes to a foundation for the common welfare.
Unconditional minimum income (7.11.19)
An indigenous man was coming for the first time in the city and he picked fruits from the market without
paying it. He couldn’t understand why he should pay, in the rain-forest all is free for everybody. So maybe
that a basic principle of nature, that the basics are free for human to ensure a certain dignity. A basic income
sufficient to meet a person's basic needs from the government for all or specific poor people. This will result
in Poverty reduction, freedom, Gender equality, less criminality, more economic activities, Economic growth
Does it motivate not to work? People work voluntarily for an additional income and work generates sense in
live and enables participation.
The unconditional basic income
The unconditional basic income is a socio-political financial transfer concept according to which every
citizen - regardless of his or her economic situation - receives a legally defined financial contribution paid by
the state to everyone in the same amount, without having to pay anything in return.
Money sources
Financial transaction tax (overdue)
Reduce defense spending ("economy of death")
wealth taxes or better said public welfare tax
Donations (difficult)
Companies
Safe conditions contribute greatly to happiness in life
There are very positive examples of basic income (Namibia, Brazil).
People have often used it for further development.
There are different forms of unconditional basic income.
The basic income must be applied for every year. Experience has shown that this is not applied for by people
who are not in need.
Many costs that are necessary for the administration of other social systems are eliminated.
Examples
29
Brazil
In Brazil, the first steps towards an unconditional basic income were taken under President Lula. The poorest
were the first to receive a small amount. One example is Bolsa familia for poor family and if children attend
school.
By that program it was possible to get 48 million people out of poverty in Brazil and reduce criminality a lot
and increase economic-activities a lot.
Namibia
In Namibia, the inhabitants of Otjivero-Omitara received an unconditional basic income. There were about
1000 registered inhabitants. The project had very positive effects: Reduction of malnutrition, unemployment,
number of early school leavers and reduction of crime.
The study found that economic activity actually increased, particularly through the launch of small
businesses, and reinforcement of the local market by increasing households' buying power.
Before the introduction of the BIG, Otjivero-Omitara was characterised by unemployment, hunger and
poverty. Most residents had settled there because they had nowhere else to go, their lives were shaped by
deprivation and they had little hope for the future.
The introduction of the BIG ignited hope and the community responded by establishing its own 18-
member committee to mobilise the community and to advise resi-dents on how to spend the BIG money
wisely. This suggests that the introduction of a BIG can effectively assist with community mobilisation and
empowerment.
As the BIG was only introduced in one particular location, there was a significant migration towards
Otjivero-Omitara. Impoverished family members moved into Otjivero, attracted by the BIG, even if migrants
themselves did not receive the grant. This points to the need to introduce the BIG as a universal national
grant in order to avoid migration to particular regions, towns or households.
The migration to Otjivero-Omitara affected the data obtained for this study. Per capita income from the
BIG dropped from N$ 89 per month in January 2008 to N$ 67 in November 2008. We thus analysed the
impact of the BIG, taking the influence of migration into consideration.
Since the introduction of the BIG, household poverty has dropped significantly. Using the food poverty
line, 76% of residents fell below this line in November 2007. This was reduced to 37% within one year of
the BIG. Amongst households that were not affected by in-migration, the rate dropped to 16%. This shows
that a national BIG would have a dramatic impact on poverty levels in Namibia.
The introduction of the BIG has led to an increase in economic activity. The rate of those engaged in
income-generating activities (above the age of 15) increased from 44% to 55%. Thus the BIG enabled
recipients to increase their work both for pay, profit or family gain as well as self-employment. The grant
enabled recipients to increase their productive income earned, particularly through starting their own small
business, including brick-making, baking of bread and dress-making. The BIG contributed to the creation of
a local market by increasing households' buying power. This finding contradicts critics' claims that the BIG
would lead to laziness and dependency.
The BIG resulted in a huge reduction of child malnutrition. Using a WHO measurement technique, the
data shows that children's weight-for-age has improved significantly in just six months from 42% of
underweight children in November 2007 to 17% in June 2008 and 10% in November 2008.
HIV positive residents' access to ARVs was hampered by poverty and a lack of transport before the BIG
was introduced. The BIG enabled them to afford nutritious food and gain access to the medication. This was
further enhanced by government's decision to make ARVs available in Otjivero, freeing residents from the
need to travel to Gobabis.
Before the introduction of the BIG, almost half of the school-going children did not attend school
regularly. Pass rates stood at about 40% and drop-out rates were high. Many parents were unable to pay the
school fee. After the introduction of the BIG, more than double the number of parents paid school fees (90%)
and most of the children now have school uniforms. Non-attendance due to financial reasons dropped by
42% and this rate would have been even higher without the effects of migration towards Otjivero-Omitara.
Drop-out rates at the school fell from almost 40% in November 2007 to 5% in June 2008 and further to
almost 0% in November 2008.
The residents have been using the settlement's health clinic much more regularly since the introduction
of the BIG. Residents now pay the N$4 payment for each visit and the income of the clinic has increased
fivefold from N$ 250 per month to about N$ 1,300.
The BIG contributed to the reduction of household debt with the average debt falling from N$ 1,215 to
30
N$ 772 between November 2007 and November 2008. Savings increased during that period, which was
reflected in the increasing ownership of large livestock, small livestock and poultry.
The BIG has contributed to a significant reduction of crime. Overall crime rates - as reported to the
local police station - fell by 42% while stock theft fell by 43% and other theft by nearly 20%.
The introduction of the Basic Income Grant has reduced the dependency of women on men for their
survival. The BIG has given women a measure of control over their own sexuality, freeing them to some
extent from the pressure to engage in transactional sex.
The criticism that the BIG is leading to increasing alcoholism is not supported by empirical evidence.
The community committee is trying to curb alcoholism and has reached an agreement with local shebeen
owners not to sell alcohol on the day of the pay-out of the grants.
The BIG is a form of social protection, which reduces poverty and supports pro-poor economic growth.
As a national policy it would greatly assist Namibia in achieving the Millenium Development Goals to which
the country has committed itself.
The costs of a national BIG in Namibia are substantial. The net costs will be between N$ 1,2 - 1,6
billion per year, equivalent to 2,2 - 3% of Namibia's GDP. There are various options to finance such a
national grant. A moderate adjustment of VAT combined with an increase in income taxes is one option.
This would benefit all middle and lower income households in terms of available incomes. Other financing
options include a re-prioritisation of the national budget and the introduction of a special levy on natural
resources.
An econometric analysis revealed that Namibia's tax capacity exceeds 30% of the national income. The
current collection rate is below 25% and thus Namibia's excess capacity to raise tax revenue significantly
exceeds the net costs of a Basic Income Grant. This makes the BIG affordable in Namibia.

Business-impulse: Investigation who needs support and who does not.
Ensure that the minimum and maximum salary does not differ too much (27.6.18)
Defining a certain key to ensure that the minimum and maximum salary does not differ too much generates a
higher degree of satisfaction and motivation, especially for the lower income. The relative income is very
crucial for people! All work is important that the complete systems works, so why such great differences?
Economic democracy of Fritz Naphtali (19.4.2019)
Economic democracy is a socioeconomic philosophy that proposes to shift decision-making power from
corporate managers and corporate shareholders to a larger group of public stakeholders that includes
workers, customers, suppliers, neighbours and the broader public. No single definition or approach
encompasses economic democracy, but most proponents claim that modern property relations externalize
costs, subordinate the general well-being to private profit and deny the polity a democratic voice in economic
policy decisions.[1] In addition to these moral concerns, economic democracy makes practical claims, such
as that it can compensate for capitalism's inherent effective demand gap.[2]
Proponents of economic democracy generally argue that modern capitalism periodically results in economic
crises characterized by deficiency of effective demand as society is unable to earn enough income to
purchase its output production. Corporate monopoly of common resources typically creates artificial
scarcity, resulting in socio-economic imbalances that restrict workers from access to economic opportunity
and diminish consumer purchasing power.[3][4] Economic democracy has been proposed as a component of
larger socioeconomic ideologies, as a stand-alone theory and as a variety of reform agendas. For example, as
a means to securing full economic rights, it opens a path to full political rights, defined as including the
former.[1] Both market and non-market theories of economic democracy have been proposed. As a reform
agenda, supporting theories and real-world examples range from decentralization and economic
liberalization to democratic cooperatives, public banking, fair trade and the regionalization of food
production and currency.

Model of a humane economic democracy by Ota Šik (19.4.2019)
It provides for economically efficient companies that meet consumer demands through market pressure and
are organised internally in such a way that the production process is as humane as possible.
Material and immaterial participation of employees in an employee company (MAG).
Capital neutralization: The capital stock of a MAG belongs to the entire company collective.
Decision-making structures: The general meeting of all MAG employees elects a supervisory board, which
in turn appoints a managing board.
Work organization: The management style in the entire MAG is to be organized as democratically as
possible (rule of the expert knowledge and the best argument).
Material participation: The people in a MAG should experience themselves as responsible employees, as
people whose words are heard, who can have a word and participate in decisions, and who are no longer
alien to their own company.
In addition to immaterial participation (active and passive voting rights), the employees' sense of
identification should be strengthened above all by their co-ownership of the neutralized capital, which is
concretely expressed in profit sharing (material participation).
Macroeconomic distribution planning: In this concept, no company is prescribed what it has to produce in
what quantities or qualities. This is determined solely by the market

Value-Developing Democracy by Johannes Heinrichs (20.4.2019)
The actual dominance of the economy over politics in the broadest sense, i.e. over the legal system, the
culture and the interpretation of the (ideological, ethical) fundamental values; liberation through a separate
cultural parliament for education, science, journalism, art, thereby also the necessary liberation of science
from intransparent influences of the economy, the parties as well as the churches and internal unobjective
power structures; 4 related parliaments, the economic, political, cultural and fundamental value parliament.
At the same time, the sector-specific (e.g. annual) elections for the respective partial parliaments claim to
represent a realistic inner synthesis (not a mere mix) of representative and direct democracy. In Heinrichs'
eyes the power-led dogmatism of the all-round or unity parties (which bundle all topics in an unobjective
way) as well as the dominance of the economic level are mainly responsible for the worldwide crisis or
stagnation of the present democracies. In the establishment of directly elected parliaments specific to the
subject area, the parties would be transformed into parties of a new style (with a ban on cross-level cartel
formation in a new party law). As a result, the basic values as well as the cultural values are actually realized.
In Heinrichs' value-tier democracy there would be, among other things, for the first time an economic
democracy, i.e. specifically an economic parliament with elected representatives of the population
specifically for this area; the same on the level of legal policy, cultural policy, ideology and church policy.
A concession towards immigrants, but with recognition of the primacy of the native culture (jus culturae),
cultural solidarity of the immigrants: a way between new nationalism and the multi-cultural ideology (cf.
"hospitality of cultures"); a fair coexistence of world views and religions in the state (mediated by the Basic
Values Parliament) instead of denominational privileges.

Postcapitalism: Outlines of a future economy (Paul Mason) (14.6.2019)
We are at the beginning of something new. Technological monopolies are crumbling. Decoupling work from
pay, by introducing a basic income or, in countries with a strong welfare state, basic services to promote
rapid automation. Thirdly, the network effect should be promoted by banning for-profit business models.
And finally: introduce data rights so that symmetry is created in access to data by companies and customers
or citizens and the state.
An economy not subject to the laws of the market that includes not only housing cooperatives, cooperative
and ethical banks and cooperative enterprises, but also a comprehensive and accessible cultural economy.
Laws against property speculation, the withdrawal of privatisation of public transport.
Reverse austerity policies, invest in green energy and promote well-paid work.
Primitive bourgeois society overcame resistance not only through class struggle, but through success. Based
on ideas by Thomas Piketty, David Graeber, Jeremy Rifkin and Antonio Negri.
Four chamber parliamentary system based on the four subsystems of a society (28.4.2019)
32
The members of the following four hierarchical chambers form the respective general parliament on
the respective "level" (municipality etc.)
The highest priority is given to a "Basic Chamber of Values": It defines the basic ethical values of
society, e.g. in the fields of economics (ownership, control and power relations), ecology, science,
culture, education, medicine and religions.
This is followed by a "culture chamber": It is responsible for fundamental questions of detail
concerning schools, science, journalism and art, both at federal, state and local level;
Then a "Politics Chamber” for issues such as internal and external security (for example, a military
mission would not be possible without the consent of the "Chamber of Values"), foreign policy (here
too, coordination with the political peace issues of the "Chamber of Values"), legal development and
land and transport policy;
and fourthly, an "Economic Chamber": Responsible for economic democracy, e.g. for monetary
and financial affairs (including banks, interest rates, shares) and tariff policy, as well as for
democratic co-determination in the economy. The decisions of this Chamber are also bound by the
guidelines of the Basic Values Chamber.
Direct referendums: In addition to legislation by the four chambers, the population should also be
given the opportunity to vote or have a say in everything on which a parliament can vote.
With the popular initiative, a proposal or request for referral is made to the respective chamber or the
corresponding general parliament.
In the event of rejection, the population can address the relevant chamber(s) or parliament by means
of the next instance, the petition for a referendum, and if the petition is rejected again, the petition
can be decided directly and without a quorum by means of a referendum.
Citizens' meeting: In each municipality or for each district of larger cities, a certain amount should
be made available - for personal initiative and the promotion of political interest - which is voted on
directly in a citizens' meeting regarding small projects which can be implemented by the citizens
themselves in their own work.
For more democracy: With a majority of the citizens' assembly, an application in the sense of a
popular initiative can be submitted to a chamber of the municipality or to the municipal or city
council. There is also participation in the nomination of candidates for the chambers.
At each of these "levels", each of the four sub-parliaments is occupied by competent representatives
of the population by elections held at intervals of several years.
Concerning Media influence 28.4.2019
Brazil was one example, how the media (including What’s app) is influenced excessive from externals, to
ensure a regime-change. During the government of Dilma Rousseff the governmental independent media
constantly reported negative about the president. By that a regime-change was possible. But concerning the
next presidents the media reported few negative aspects, although almost all changed in to the negative. So
maybe sometimes it is advised in order to prevent the country of a catastrophe, to motivate the media to
make only fact-based news about the work of the government and no personal issues concerning politicians.
Nobody is innocent, you always find some-thing. But often it is used as a weapon against the government.
Corruption-accusations mostly come from USA, because they have the necessary information.
Good economy for human, summary (28.4.2019)
There are some countries, who have good experience in a sustainable economy for human including bringing
people out of poverty. These are China, Brazil under Lula and Dilma Rousseff, Ecuador under Correa,
Vietnam and many more. These countries had bee able to establish a strong middle class, which is the best
for all, for the economy, investment, social security, less violence and therefore foreign investment. If there
is a high security, good service and prices, tourism might come. The middle and lower class consume, rich
classes often go finance-business, which is useless for a country.
Most successful countries have free small and mid-size dynamic companies, with creative and highly
motivated people, often people work a lot, they are very efficient and the engine of the economic power.
Powerful companies often get corrupt and innovations go down!
Vietnam split big companies to smaller competing companies. It works successful!
The liberalization of the finance-market was the biggest fault the western countries had done. Making
money without effort often spoils the character. But they use often the power of money to make pressure on
all to ensure even more power. Motivating countries for high investment based on external debt is often a
33
trick to make countries dependent. The interest is earned money without effort for one side, and lost money
for nothing for the other side. Maybe Micro-credits for small but motivated companies?
International investment treaties sound well, but often one partner is losing because the other side
is very professional. On the other side the negotiations are very long and expensive. UN-representative Mr.
Jean Ziegler said, it is like a boxing-match between the most strong one and less strong partners. One side
often will lose. One Example is the NAFTA-treaty of USA, Canada and Mexico. Although some companies
might have good benefit and shortly some more working places are generated, on the long term the majority
of people was losing. The social standard and working conditions get down a lot. Canada said, they lose
freedom and a lot of decisions are now done in USA.
Now other Asian countries could ensure more competition and options concerning that, “who has the
best offer?” But all in all, Vietnam established a stable economy by their own power and then it was
interesting for others as well to make investments.
Signing (investment) contracts with the hope of economic development is easy, but establish an
economy by its own is more challenging but maybe more sustainable.
Are foreign investment in the country at that state of development really a benefit for the nation and
people? Maybe first develop agriculture, medicine and other basic branches to ensure independence?
At arbitral tribunal hardly USA was losing, always the others. Making money with few effort?
Template for freedom Bolivia, Ecuador etc.
Promoting small farmers and private gardens for food could ensure more independence, good
food, sustainable agriculture and a lot of working-places. One good example is Russia. Especially
refugees can be integrated in that work very well. like in the Netherlands. Making pressure by lack
of food on the country happened in Chile, Venezuela, Yemen etc.
Promoting traditional and alternative medicine ensure a lot of working-opportunities and more
independence.
Promoting alternative energy-sources ensure a lot working-places and more independence like solar,
wind, free energy, LENR, water-conversion to hydrogen in the engine etc. One template is China.
China protected its market of foreign interference until they get strong enough to compete. Russia
did the opposite at the collapse of Soviet union and most Russian companies get bankrupt. Since
President Wladimir Putin it changed fundamental.
A tax on finance-transaction actions could ensure good income for the government. The money who
is leaving the country might be speculative money, no value for the economic. Template: Portugal.
Motivating the rich people, to leave the money in the country e.g. by rewarding that in public and
vice versa. Template is Russia.
Big international companies who don’t pay tax in the country are useless for the nation, even harm
the country. Because they kill small companies who pay tax. They kill a lot of working-opportunities
because they work highly efficient and don’t pay tax and small companies who pay tax cannot
compete.
A liberalization of Hemp could ensure controlled drugs, reduce criminality and generate good tax-
income for the government and attract people of other countries, like it happened in the Netherlands.
Detecting people who “consult” but only want to follow other goals (see description of John
Perkins), which destroys the world and generates more power to big companies. Some offer
professional consultant but sometimes it is a trick for to follow other goals. E.g. in Germany they
offered consultant for successful election, at the end it was manipulation for to sign free trade
contracts. But professional reliable consultants could serve on all aspects of the political work.
So some are locked in unfair contracts, singed by Tools described by John Perkins (see above) and
others. In common law, if a contract is based on illegal or unfair practices, it is not valid. On the
other side we have to keep in mind that USA does not adhere to treaties and agreements (Sanctions
against Russia, they increased their business, canceled contract with Iran and many more).
The recipe for success of the left-wing government in Portugal (28.4.2019)
The central objective was to strengthen domestic demand, investment and consumption as a whole. With
tourists, pensioners and investors, the country is attracting wealthy potential. In addition, the purchasing
power of the Portuguese was increased and money was raised from wealthy people where it was not spent.
The strategy quickly reduced unemployment to just 6.7%. This creates contributors to social security and
generates tax revenues. In addition, the budget deficit in 2017 was even reduced to a good 2%,
34
Wages and pensions were increased, some taxes were increased, such as inheritance tax and wealth tax. With
the additional property tax, a property tax on real estate was introduced. However, a tax-free allowance
ensures that the small house or normal home of ordinary people remains tax-free.
The Socialists lowered the VAT in the hotel and restaurant industry to 13%, making the country even more
attractive as a tourist destination.
Those who move to Portugal as pensioners are exempt from taxes for ten years.
A sensible spatial planning and structural policy will also attract foreign investment.
Portugal joined the "New Silk Road" project. China is heavily involved in Portugal, but the French business
paper Les Echos also describes the country as a "paradise for start-up companies".
The unemployment rate fell from 12.4 percent in 2015 to below eight percent. The budget deficit was only
one percent last year.
At the same time, private consumption, foreign investment and exports increased significantly, so that the
economy grew by 2.7 percent, the strongest growth since the turn of the millennium.
It is the only country in Europe without an ultra-party.
Ecological social free market economy
It seems that this system might be stable, because the government ensures that a good middle-class is present
and that the difference between “rich and poor” is not too extreme. This ensures social stability and a stable
market, because poor and the middle-class mainly consumes and do not speculate.
From 1945 till the late 70s the social free market economy worked very well in Europe. Social laws
and trade unions ensure an economical growth with the benefit for the majority and a strong middle class,
which is best for all, peace and economic growth. A free market and the government care about rules to keep
justice and a good middle class. By specific laws (syndicate-laws etc.) it was possible to avoid too much
concentration of power. We still consider it as a good concept but with the extension of eco-social free mar-
ket economy. Nowadays it needs to be extended to an “eco social free market economy”.
The focus on a strong middle-class might ensure the best conditions for a good and sustainable
economy and creativity. May be a focus and indicator for good politics could be how many people came
out of poverty and not only the economic success. The focus is on having work for the people. And to try
to integrate all groups and minorities in the economical and political processes. “Economic success has little
value, if not the majority benefit from it”, said Angela Merkel.
If that concept worked in a country very well may be it could help to generate more global business
and justice? If countries pay fair prices for the raw-material and products we generate markets for importing
products as well.
More aspect
There is good experience with balance of power on nation level ensured by interest groups such as
trade unions etc. But on international level we have the Wild West. May be we need similar interna-
tional institutions, to protect the rights and interest of all especially tiny countries like trade-unions.
Or countries pay for professional specialist to ensure good support concerning contracts. But often
people offer their consult, but they follow different goals!
People pay tax, but machines who produce products not. That makes the machine attractive!
Maybe a tax also on production machines could help to avoid that human is replaced by machines
excessively?
Cultural Imperialism should be replaced by respect of the local cultures and traditions and the con-
tribution for the world community. That generates a higher diversity. And diversity is a treasure of
mankind.
The contribution in cultural and religious aspects to the world community (music, literature etc.)
should be rewarded appropriate.
Cooperatives
Cooperatives are old but an excellent system, to ensure justice! Like agricultural cooperatives, jointly man-
aged housing associations etc. Cooperative banking; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperative_banking

Economy for the Common Good
35
Other good new impulses are the Economy for the Common Good (ECG) which strives towards an ethical
market economy designed to increase the quality of life for all and not to increase the wealth of a few. The
ECG helps promote the values of human dignity, human rights and ecological responsibility into day-to-day
business practice. A lot of companies work already on that concept in Europe. Christian Felber is a promoter
of those impulses. More on www.ecogood.org/en
The human Market Economy of Peter Haisenko and Hubert von Brunn (9.6.2018)
In a world where everything is on sale - from murderers to the media to deputy (Mps). A real democracy is
impossible. Those who want democracy must demand as their most important prerequisite a financial and
economic system that breaks the power of capital, puts an end to "miraculous monetary growth" through
interest and compound interest and make corruption impossible. The humane market economy will do that,
and not only that. It will give people liberty to an unprecedented extent; a life free of payroll tax and inflation
and thus a reliably predictable future. To achieve this, there is no need for a bloody revolution, but only a
return to the principles of humanism - and their consistent implementation.
Social entrepreneurship
Social entrepreneurship is the use of start up companies and other entrepreneurs to develop, fund and
implement solutions to social, cultural, or environmental issues. This concept may be applied to a variety of
organizations with different sizes, aims, and beliefs. For-profit entrepreneurs typically measure performance
using business metrics like profit, revenues and increases in stock prices, but social entrepreneurs are either
non-profits or blend for-profit goals with generating a positive "return to society" and therefore must use
different metrics. Social entrepreneurship typically attempts to further broad social, cultural, and
environmental goals often associated with the voluntary sector in areas such as poverty alleviation, health
care and community development.
At times, profit-making social enterprises may be established to support the social or cultural goals of the
organization but not as an end in itself. For example, an organization that aims to provide housing and
employment to the homeless may operate a restaurant, both to raise money and to provide employment for
the homeless.
In the 2010s, social entrepreneurship is facilitated by the use of the Internet, particularly social networking
and social media websites. These websites enable social entrepreneurs to reach a large number of people who
are not geographically close yet who share the same goals and encourage them to collaborate online, learn
about the issues, disseminate information about the group's events and activities, and raise funds through
crowdfunding.

The Peer Economy (21.5.2018)
A new mode of production has emerged in the areas of software and content production. This mode, which is
based on sharing and cooperation, has spawned whole mature operating systems such as GNU/Linux as well
as innumerable other free software applications; giant knowledge bases such as the Wikipedia; a large free
culture movement; and a new, wholly decentralized medium for spreading, analyzing and discussing news
and knowledge, the so-called blogosphere.

Solidarity economy (3.6.2019)
It is based on human needs and is a social, democratic and ecological approach. Solidarity economy projects
should in principle serve human. Moreover, it is based on the idea that every human is a part of society and
his work a crucial component for the progress of humanity. A lot of companies in Brazil are based on
that idea. They can assist. Paul Singer is the promoter of that concept. To avoid too much lobbying only
listed lobby-groups are allowed to visit the government and it must be public!
Solidary economy is a form of economic activity in which money as a means of valuation and payment is
completely or partially replaced by other processes or agreements.
Solidarity-based economy refers to need-oriented, social, democratic and ecological approaches. Solidarity-
36
economic projects should basically serve the people. Furthermore, it is often based on the conviction that
every human being is part of society and his work is an essential component for the progress of mankind.
Goals
Social objective: The community should be democratically and socially ordered. Materialism is to be
overcome and the individual is to be reintegrated into social life.
Political goal: Co-determination and democracy should be expanded. A kind of solidarity community is to
develop, which understands itself as a system of values and norms, which places humans in the center.
Economic objective: Living and working conditions should be improved without borrowing. Various efforts
such as the conservation of natural resources, sustainability and needs-based management are part of this. If
necessary, human-induced impairments or damage should be repaired. The economic objective overlaps with
the political and social objective.
These include open-source software projects and alternative educational institutions, exchange exchanges,
repair cafés, social markets, for-free-shops, self-governing businesses and flat-sharing communities.

Participatory democracy (21.5.2018)
Participatory democracy emphasizes the broad participation of constituents in the direction and operation of
political systems. Etymological roots of democracy (Greek demos and kratos) imply that the people are in
power and thus that all democracies are participatory. However, participatory democracy tends to advocate
more involved forms of citizen participation and greater political representation than traditional
representative democracy.
Participatory democracy strives to create opportunities for all members of a population to make meaningful
contributions to decision-making, and seeks to broaden the range of people who have access to such
opportunities. Since so much information must be gathered for the overall decision-making process to
succeed, technology may provide important forces leading to the type of empowerment needed for
participatory models, especially those technological tools that enable community narratives and correspond
to the accretion of knowledge. Effectively increasing the scale of participation, and translating small but
effective participation groups into small world networks, are areas currently being studied. Other advocates
have emphasised the importance of face to face meetings, warning that an overreliance on technology can be
harmful.

Common-welfare law
The above excellent investigations could at least trigger a common-welfare law. Profit-focused companies
have to satisfy their share-holders and therefore often work against the common welfare. Long-term damage
could generate a lot of problems and cost for the government and the country. Especially if the companies
are not owned by the country. It seems that revolutionary inventions are suppressed, because they would
require to for some companies to modify their portfolio.
A law with punishment for people or companies who act against the common welfare, would
generate a huge benefit for all and a sustainable future.
Or a reward for people / companies work exceptional for the common welfare. It seems concerning
energy, medicine, agriculture there are excellent interesting innovations which are not suppressed.
Concrete it could mean that the Patent office could check after a certain time, whether the Patent has
been implemented. If not, maybe the patent has to be given back to be available for others. Or maybe
a fine could motivate to implement the patent?
Law to ensure the independence of media and news-channels (1.3.2018)
Media are the second power in a country! Dr. Uwe Krüger investigated that the German media are massively
manipulated by NATO and many more. They do it in Germany by integrating the chef-editor and others in
think-Tanks (www.nachdenkseiten.de/?p=17471) . And also by forms for download at the embassy where
you can apply payment if you write in a specific way (investigated by Dr. Udo Ulfkotte). He proposed a law
like it is implemented at the New York Times. In its Code of Ethics, there is a paragraph that journalists are
not allowed to engage themselves in organizations that themselves develop newsworthy activities or are
connected with politics and business. They may not sit in advisory councils or trustees. They may only
37
engage themselves in journalistic training and further education. This is a purity-law which we would like to
see in our country as well! Interference in the media (especially of the military complex) generates a
dangerous situation and disdain for the journalist. And a decline of the media, because nowadays people
have a lot alternatives and they don’t support that kind of media anymore. So this law could protect a whole
important sector.
Business-impulse: Independent media who do not depend financially on anybody.
Whistle-Blower law (1.3.2018)
Whistle blowers contributes a lot for the common welfare, although they are not popular for some groups.
But if the common welfare is more urgent than particular-goals, this is a topic. If the overall benefit is very
high there has to be a law to protect Whistle-blowers like it exist in many countries. This is a
recommendation of G20 and OECD as well. USA and England are ahead concerning that!
The Transition Town Movement
The terms transition town, transition initiative and transition model refer to grassroot community projects
that aim to increase self-sufficiency to reduce the potential effects of peak oil, climate destruction, and
economic instability. It includes the topics Peak oil and local resilience, Transportation, Food production,
Waste and recycling, Psychology, Energy descent action plans (EDAP) and Economics. More see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transition_town
Resource-based economy (1.3.2018)
Resource-based economy is described in the excellent film “Zeitgeist” part 3 (see online), means
focus on efficiency, sustainability, saving resources, quality products to ensure long usage, reuse of
things, and back to the original purpose of money used for to exchange products and services.
Maximize the benefit for human and not for the producer.
The Zeitgeist Movement is a non-profit organization established in the United States in 2008 by
Peter Joseph.[1][2] The organization advocates a transformation of society and its economic system
to a non-monetary system based on resource allocation and environmentalism
The group is critical of market capitalism, describing it as structurally corrupt and wasteful of
resources. Embraces sustainable ecology and scientific administration of society.
Our greatest social problems are the direct results of our economic system.
A self-published a book, The Zeitgeist Movement Defined: Realizing A New Train Of Thought,
It is a world-wide community now with amazing impulses!

Money Free Party
The Money Free Party is an international political party that is active in 16 countries: United Kingdom, New
Zealand, Australia, Canada, United States, Sri Lanka, Portugal, South Africa, India, Italy, Ghana, Brazil,
Argentina, Netherlands, Belgium and Romania.[citation needed] The party advocates for a "Resource Based
Economy" (RBE), a world of free access where all work is voluntary. The party has also established RBE
groups in other countries around the world. It is based upon the ideals of Jacque Fresco for a Resource-Based
Economy, as advocated by the US-based The Venus Project.

Technological Utopianism
Technological utopianism (often called techno-utopianism or technoutopianism) is any ideology based on the
premise that advances in science and technology could and should bring about a utopia, or at least help to
38
fulfil one or another utopian ideal. A techno-utopia is therefore a hypothetical ideal society, in which laws,
government, and social conditions are solely operating for the benefit and well-being of all its citizens.
Douglas Rushkoff, a leading theorist on technology and cyberculture claims that technology gives everyone
a chance to voice their own opinions, fosters individualistic thinking, and dilutes hierarchy and power
structures by giving the power to the people. He says that the whole world is in the middle of a new
Renaissance, one that is centered on technology and self-expression.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_utopianism
Degrowth-Movement
Growth at any price? Maybe we need a post-growth society. Degrowth is a political, economic, and social
movement based on ecological economics, anti-consumerist and anti-capitalist ideas. It is also considered an
essential economic strategy responding to the limits-to-growth dilemma (see The Path to Degrowth in
Overdeveloped Countries and post-growth). Degrowth thinkers and activists advocate for the downscaling of
production and consumption—the contraction of economies—arguing that overconsumption lies at the root
of long term environmental issues and social inequalities. Key to the concept of degrowth is that reducing
consumption does not require individual martyring or a decrease in well-being. Rather, "degrowthists" aim to
maximize happiness and well-being through non-consumptive means—sharing work, consuming less, while
devoting more time to art, music, family, nature, culture and community.

We carry the happiness in ourselves
Either human is satisfied with very little, without burdening oneself with a lot of things. Because we carry
the happiness in ourselves! Or human didn’t find the real happiness. That is no justification for poverty. That
is a justification for a modest live. But we invented a consumer society that has to grow constantly. If there is
no growth, it is tragic. We invented a bunch of superfluous needs. You have to buy, throw away. That's how
we ruin our lives. When I buy something or when you buy something, we do not pay with money. We pay
the price of our live-time, which we had to sacrifice, to earn the money. The difference is that you cannot
buy life. Lifetime just goes by. And it's awful to waste your life-time by giving up freedom.
From Mojica, Ex-president of Uruguay (for 10 years in solitary confinement)
Share the work, share the time, the solidarity work, a step ahead to paradise
Due to high degree of automation, the labor gets less and less. Some predict that only 20 % of the people is
necessary to do the work in the future. Even in the service work, a lot of automated are implemented. To
communicate that it is a step ahead to paradise by presenting good solutions is a big task. One might be part-
time jobs.
Sharing the work with somebody else and get as present free time for the family, children, friends and to
avoid burn-out. This requires a more modest live and financial efficiency (buying more second hand etc).
Maybe a short consulting could help. In the free time it is possible as free human to enjoy the hobbies or
focus on social live, to work for the common good or to work in the garden (Perma-culture?). In this way
very important skills can be trained which could be useful for the work as well. The experience show, that if
people work part-time they work more efficient and sometimes longer (unpaid). Burn-out-syndromes are not
so frequently and people have more compassion in their job. The performance is higher, because there is
enough free time to recover. In that way it is possible to integrate more “long term unemployed” in the
39
working live without overcharge them.
Normally it generates more efficiency in the work.
It is possible to handle it flexible, if there is much work to increase the working time and vice versa.
In the IT-branch “home-office” solutions save a lot of wasted time for transport and pollution.
For consulting-jobs a mobile-phone is enough to offer the service.
Taking care of old people could be an option for people with part-time jobs, often enough staff is
missing!
For meetings a video-conferencing-system with a standard-PC works very fine.
Offering this to the people and reward it because in this way somebody unemployed can find a work
again. Long term unemployed people decrease their performance!
To ensure communication and clarification, a regular meeting (“jour fix”, round table) could be
established in a comfortable way for all.
The precious know-how and experience is preserved in the company!
Optimization in the personal-planning is possible, that people are present only if there is really work
if the employees are flexible. From my experience I can say that I am so grateful that I offer to be
flexible.
Often the hobbies are related to the daily work (working in a car-factory people renovate old cars
etc). The skills generated by the hobby can be a benefit for the company as well.
Companies say, they need more space (desk, telephone) for more people. Not really if a modern
office has share the desk for several people. And communication is by everybody own mobile-
phone!
Consumer industry don’t like modest people! But in fact if more people earn money the overall
consumption might be the same. Poor unemployment people do not consume very much!
Education and traveling widen the horizon! And that is good for all! Part-time jobs offer that option!
There are so many excellent books, films and music! Having more time for that increases the degree
of satisfaction a lot.
The rush-hour can be avoided if people are more flexible in the working times. A benefit for all!
Political aspects
A lot of social activities can be handled by part-time job people more cheap and efficient but with
good public recognition from time to time.
The cost for unemployment-payment can be reduced and transferred to the companies.
The unemployment-rates can be decreased which are a symbol for a good government.
The risk for personal crisis and drugs (which generates costs) due to having no job and few social
contact is decreased.
More flexibility in times when there is less work and vice versa.
Presenting that solution in a good way could generate very grateful people.
Crisis-prevention: A very big crisis is ahead and this might be a concept to avoid mass-
unemployment and bankrupt of companies, because the company can reduce the labor-cost a lot by
part-time jobs according adapted to the demand.
Another version is working full time for half salary. And then having a longer time free but the salary
continues. This is implemented often for to ensure retirement more early or to make sabbatical for making a
trip.
I do this since a long time and that allows me to do this work for free, which I really enjoy! I am really
grateful for that and sometimes I feel like in the paradise!
In order to have that above advantages, companies make massive outsourcing and work with independent
freelancer. But it does not give a lot of security and continuity to the freelancer, the salary is often very low
and they have to work hard and feeding a family could be a problem!
If the government supports the part-time-job model, it would be more beneficial for all.
Business-impulse: consulting the people how they can live with less money but the same freedom, like more
second-hand products etc.
A modest live generates incredible freedom (Vandana Shiva).
40
How to live modest? I checked which newspapers I really need. Using more the bicycle. Buying second hand
and selling the products by Ebay I don’t need anymore. Reduction in the things I have. Almost all is possible
with the computer or smartphone, getting information, reading books, looking movies, communication,
entertainment. If we are in holidays we feel well although we don’t have a lot of things with us. That means
our degree of satisfaction does not depend from that! It is the trick of the industry to convince us that we
need all this stuff. But it generates less and less satisfaction. But it destroys the planet by resources and
pollution! On the other side many people suffer from lack of basic needs. If I share I increase my degree of
satisfaction and many people share that experience. Because I have the potential to come to a higher degree
of human development. Reduction, “less is more” describes that very well, because with less I feel more
intensity in all. Possession stresses me because it needs maintenance etc. So by a modest live I serve me and
the world.
“Sumak kawsay” in Indio language means “Good live for all”, politics for the people
Instead of “wealth for all” we could define “a good live for all”. Replace the dogma “to have much” by
“living well”. That includes beside a certain materialistic basic for all as well good human relationship,
integration of all tribes in the society, culture, Art and Music, dancing, spiritual live, motivating people to
support others and the community.
The focus on how human can be useful for the community. Migration of a consciousness from “I” to
“we”. Taking responsible for the common challenges and peoples in need make sure that human devel-
ops. The egoistic live comes to an end-point in development.
Giving people the security that if they are diligent they can reach top positions independent from the
family sponsoring.
First medical treatment and after that clarification about the insurance
All can participate to generate a “good live for all” by cultural events and sharing experience.
President Correa of Ecuador has a lot of good impulses concerning that.
Ensure the rotation of money by Silvio Gesell
Cash should not be hoarded (especially in times of crisis), but should be circulated as quickly as possible
between different persons through appropriate incentives. In order to stimulate the economic activity, not the
amount of circulating money should be increased (see Inflation), but its circulation speed. Circular-hedged
cash expires after a specified time (approximately one to three months) if it is not confirmed in value by
payment of a fee - and sticking of appropriate fee stamps. A similar system also uses the vouchers of the
"regional money initiatives".
www.tauschwiki.de/wiki/Umlaufsicherung
Successful implementation in Woergl based on the ideas of Silvio Gesell (update 19.6.2018)
How do you get the money to circulate and, in a hopeless recession, get the economy flowing? In 1932 the
region of Woergl made an amazing experiment. As a result of the world economic crisis of 1929, the
economic situation in the region around Wörgl, Austria in 1931 was characterized by deflation. A debt of 1.3
million schillings and 1,500 unemployed. The amount of money in circulation decreased noticeably.
They implemented a program based on ideas is Silvio Gesell to issue circulation-guaranteed free money as a
complementary currency for the Wörgl region.
Growing construction activity and consumerism was the consequence
The money cycle and economic activity were revived, while the rest of the country was deeply
affected by the economic crisis. The success of the project was impressive:
The revenue shortfall was reduced by 34%,
The tax shortfall was reduced by more than 60 %.
Furthermore, an increase in municipal tax income of 34 % and an increase in the municipality's
investment expenditure of about 220% was recorded.
While unemployed-rate in Austria was 10% rate could be reduced by 25% in the area of the
community Woergl in the same period.
41
The experiment attracted worldwide attention. The success-story of Woergl was stopped by the banks. So
this topic is serious and good diplomacy is required!

The peer economy
In recent decades, a new mode of production has emerged, based on cooperation and sharing. This mode of
production has produces sophisticated operating systems like GNU / Linux, Wikipedia and countless other
Free Software programs. This indicates that human is not so egoistic as many people might think. More see

“Good work” (2.11.2018)
There is creative and not creative work. Creative work generates sense of life.
To develop and being alive through one's own creative abilities.
We must take our destiny into our own hands.
Through commitment we develop ourselves. Part-time jobs makes commitment possible
Alienated work alienates people from themselves and others.
Having work is most crucial for human and self-consciousness. With a good payment people can pay for
good food, education, medicine and many more. Impulses for work: producing clean water (e.g. reverse-
osmosis) and selling it, the solar dryer for fruits, vegetables, herbs, fish and meat, working for recycling
(making money from rubbish). Concepts for part-time jobs, sharing the work with a benefit for all.
“Good work” should produce useful things and services, which ensure an acceptable standard for living for
all. Degrading work should be reduced and the production should be organized in a way, that the worker can
identify itself with the “output”. (based on a statement of David Goeßmann).
A healthy life (9.5.2018)
For pharmaceutical business-groups it is from the profit point of view the best, if maximal people are sick for
the maximal time. The limitation-factor is the moral and values. So who is motivated that people are healthy?
For a country and health insurances, sick people generate a lot of cost and loss of productivity. Doctors tell
us that by good, balanced food, enough movements of our body, enough sleep, good social and spiritual live,
good balance of retreat and action we can reduce our demand for medicine. A hot and cold shower is as well
very good. There are much more.
In Germany (78 billion), 200.000 (year 2000) get sick by medical drug treatment (side-effects) and more
than 58.000 (2013) people die annually from medical drugs, 50 % by giving the wrong drug. That’s
alarming! 3750 die by a car accident, 182 by terrorist-attacks. If we look outside we can see a leave, which
human can never construct. So outside there is intelligence far beyond our limits. Some people say, that God
created all that amazingly, to supply us with all what we need. And He forgets about the medicine? And
about the energy? Really? Maybe there is a lot outside in the nature, but there are powerful interest for profit
as well.
A car has an engine (Hardware) and a controlling Unit (Software). And human? We are dominated
by “Software”! Why not going as well a medical way by “Software or information-medicine” like
Homeopathy or other? At least in Madrid they have a center to treat cancer in that way successfully. But this
“alternative” medicine has from economical perspective a very serious disadvantage, it is very cheap and not
sexy for companies to make profit! But there is a cosmos of alternative medical ways, but not all are sincere!
What do people do differently who never get sick? Many people who never get ill are characterized by a
healthy lifestyle: they feed well, have little stress, sleep enough, tend to take gentle remedies and do not have
a sterile environment.
Climate change, background and what can be done
The summer 2018 in the complete Northern Hemisphere showed that the climate change is obvious and
dramatic. It generates massive losses in harvest and income, it reduces the performance of human, many
species and plants have problems.
Trees are threatened by that high temperature. The rainfall is reduced. Water gets a serious
42
problem in some areas. If there is no frost in winter, then certain pests do not die and they can seriously
threaten the forests.
Nuclear power plants can no longer operate if rivers are too warm.
The coal-fired power plants can no longer be supplied with coal if the water level in the
rivers is too low.
Hydropower plants often no longer have enough water and must be shut down temporarily.
The defrosting of the big carbon stores is very critical!
Drought around the globe: Europe is not the only region facing severe drought this summer.
In other countries, too, farmers are suffering heavy losses and need to consider strategies to live with the
climate change (6).
Diagnosis: Malnutrition, Cause: Climate change: More CO2 in the air changes the
composition of food plants on which many millions of people depend. US researchers are now warning
that this could result in a global health crisis (4).
Climate change sets the world on fire: In 2017, large parts of Europe, Canada and the USA
were hit by devastating forest fires. In 2018 these records were even exceeded (5)
If huge areas with snow (like in the Tibetan highlands) are melting, the ratio of reflection
and absorption of sun-light will change and cause an dramatic speed up of the climate change.
Destroying the rain-forest (as we do e.g. for bio-fuel) in Brazil and other countries speeds up
the climate change.
Even more critical is the Methane in the permafrost-soils which might be released. Methane
is 25 times more critical to climate change as CO2. With that the global temperature can increase not
only 2 °C but 4 °C and more. It is like falling domino-stones. So we need urgent actions to avoid that
and actions to manage the consequences.
But concerning solutions, it seems that they are suppressed to ensure business for some few.
According to a whistle-blower (1) there is a well-paid professional international team to suppress all
good solutions concerning energy in order to ensure profit for the energy-companies. He mentioned as
well that specific companies buy excellent patents and block it that others cannot do that.
2017 the investment in fossil energies increased again after many years of opposite trend.
And the investment in alternative energies decreased!
It seems that some sabotage the UN-climate-conferences and they have few effects or conse-
quences. It seems that some are not willing to change their business-model and do all to avoid
alternatives. The good news is that we have many solutions already!
There are tipping points when the temperature rises (e.g. 2 °C). If we exceed this, there may
be fundamental changes (melting of the permafrost soils with release of methane with very threatening
consequences).
Actions everybody can do are using more the bicycle or public transportation (trains are very
efficient), eating less meat, buying less but more sustainable products, less going by plane etc.
Electrical cars supplied with Solar energy have a 400 times better efficiency than traditional
cars with energy from “bio-energy”.
Industrial agriculture is part of the problem, and there is no point in continuing to financially
support it. Sustainable agriculture is the order of the day.
Reforestation binds CO2 and is constructive in all categories.
Solar thermal systems are proven technologies to generate hot water for shower, heating,
laundry, cooking etc.
The prices for Solar-cells dropped extreme and we have good systems now who manage
storing the energy in batteries but as well getting the energy from the grid if they are empty or supply the
grid if the batteries are full (Studer Extender and others). In that case the (old) electrical counter runs
backwards so the payment is easy. To compensate the cost for the used public cable to sell the energy a
fixed amount could be charged once.
Wind-energy is a proven technology and some store the energy by a lake on top of the
mountain (Island El Hierro) or by power to gas-technologies.
The Battery-technology improved a lot and redox-flow-systems (based on 2 simple liquids, a
membrane and 3 pumps ) or zinc-air-battery (2-3 times the energy-density of lithium, much more cycles
as lithium) are interesting options.
It seems that we have free energy (“vacuum-energy”, “0-point-energy”) everywhere proven
43
by Nicolas Tesla 88 years ago (!) and Professor Dr. Claus Turtur and many more. But this topic is most
suppressed of all. Magnet-motor (and other systems) to use this energy are coming up, most popular the
system MD10 of South Korea (2); Many countries get a license for that unit.
LENR (low energy nuclear reaction) or E-Cat-systems are coming up as well (3) and are a
very interesting alternative.
From environmental aspect natural-gas seems to be the better choice. Oil is simple too pre-
cious to waste it for energy and transportation. The final usage could be energy. Fracking destroys
precious land and water and we have more than enough energy-alternatives. A small part of the Sahara
by Solar is enough for energy of the the complete world!
Geothermal-power, hydro-power, using the energy of tides, the heat-pump are as well
proven technologies to protect the environment.
Solarcity is one example how fast an energy system based on Solar can be established. Elon
Musk made within a very short time
“Biofuel” is a mono-culture and destroys precious soil and agricultural space and has a very
low efficiency!

More Details about the climate change
According to IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5), “Human influence on the climate system is clear and
this is evident in most regions of the globe”. For more than 95% human influence has been the dominant
cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century.
These activities include:
Burning of fossil fuels: manufacturing, transportation, heating, and cooling.
Conversion of land for forestry and agriculture.
44
Other: Livestock, agriculture,
This results in emissions of Carbon dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4), and Nitrous oxide (N2O).
Impacts
Increase of Temperature
Melting of Glaciers: (Mount Kilimanjaro has lost 80% since 1912)
Sea Level Rise and Intrusion of sea water into land and fresh water
Erosion and Destruction of infrastructure and livelihood (esp. in coastal areas)
Submergence of Islands
Change in rainfall patterns. This is characterized by: Late onset and early cessation
Increase in higher rainfall intensity
These all lead to both increased dry spells and floods
Increased frequency and strength of extreme weather events. (i.e: Floods, Drought) in the past 40 years
(70% of all natural disasters are linked to drought and floods)
Decrease of water depth and productivity in lakes and rivers
Increase spread and outbreak of diseases to human beings, livestock and crops
Decrease in Crop Yields: If the temperature increase to 2ºc, there would be a decrease of: 15% for Maize
and 7% for Paddy
Business-impulse: Private company “green police” to investigate violation against the nature and
environement, consult them or communicate it to according institutions. Organize actions to clean the beach,
forest etc. Often NGOs like Greenpeace do that.
Zero Waste
Zero Waste is a philosophy that encourages the redesign of resource life cycles so that all products are
reused. The goal is for no trash to be sent to landfills or incinerators
Zero Waste is a goal that is ethical, economical, efficient and visionary, to guide people in changing their
lifestyles and practices to emulate sustainable natural cycles, where all discarded materials are designed to
become resources for others to use.
Zero Waste means designing and managing products and processes to systematically avoid and eliminate the
volume and toxicity of waste and materials, conserve and recover all resources, and not burn or bury them.
Implementing Zero Waste will eliminate all discharges to land, water or air that are a threat to planetary,
human, animal or plant health.
More: search “zero waste” at Wikipedia etc.
Simple living (9.5.2018)
Simple living encompasses a number of different voluntary practices to simplify one's lifestyle. These may
include, for example, reducing one's possessions, generally referred to as minimalism, or increasing self-
sufficiency. Simple living may be characterized by individuals being satisfied with what they have rather
than want.[1][2] Although asceticism generally promotes living simply and refraining from luxury and
indulgence, not all proponents of simple living are ascetics.[3] Simple living is distinct from those living in
forced poverty, as it is a voluntary lifestyle choice.
Gandhi believed in a life of simplicity and self-sufficiency.
Adherents may choose simple living for a variety of personal reasons, such as spirituality, health, increase in
quality time for family and friends, work–life balance, personal taste, financial sustainability, frugality, or
reducing stress. Simple living can also be a reaction to materialism and conspicuous consumption. Some cite
socio-political goals aligned with the environmentalist, anti-consumerist or anti-war movements, including
conservation, degrowth, social justice, and tax resistance. More: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_living
Bioregionalism (9.6.2018)
Bioregionalism is a political, cultural, and ecological system or set of views based on naturally defined areas
called bioregions, similar to ecoregions. Bioregionalism stresses that the determination of a bioregion is also
a cultural phenomenon, and emphasizes local populations, knowledge, and solutions. Bioregionalism asserts
"that a bioregion’s environmental components (geography, climate, plant life, animal life, etc.) directly
influence ways for human communities to act and interact with each other which are, in turn, optimal for
those communities to thrive in their environment. As such, those ways to thrive in their totality—be they
economic, cultural, spiritual, or political—will be distinctive in some capacity as being a product of their
bioregional environment.

Generating constructive work
That is a big issue for the future. Some impulses
Perma-Culture generates a lot of “good” but not simple jobs. Good because in nature, free and creative.
Food will be a crucial topic in the future. A professional consultant could help in the beginning and is a
interesting job. Perma-Culture is highly complex!
Enrich the soil with “Terra Preta” generates a lot of good work. Machines (“on a rental-base”) can be
supplied to make it more easy and fast.
Free energy motors and generators can be build worldwide based mainly on local materials and skills in
relatively small workshops.
Installation and maintenance of alternative energy-concepts generate many jobs and workshops.
Bicycles or E-bikes can be produces with local material and creative design. Workshops ensure the
maintenance.
The solar dryer can generate a lot of work and as well “income-generation” on a new field. And
excellent healthy and tasty food! There are plans in another file.
Traditional medicine and Homeopathic drugs, Acupuncture and many more can generate a lot of
work and healthy people and is often based on local plants and wisdom. There are enough evidences that
they work pretty well within their limitations. There is enough space for other industrial drugs.
Generating income
Unemployment is often a serious problem and mankind will face that more and more. Some impulses.
Offering more part-time jobs can generate win/win-Situations. Less unemployment, more time for the family
and friends. The Netherlands are professional concerning that! Online-trainings (“Webinar”) can offer people
the possibility to learn new techniques or learning how to run a business. Recycling of any material and
electronics can offer a lot of jobs. Drying fruits, vegetable, herbal, meat, fish can offer income. Repair or
refurbish devices and reselling it. Offering people the service to sell their “not-used” products or to bring
others items to professional recycle-places. Consulting and implementing energy-saving measurements.
Security-industry, consulting and installation. Ensure security for woman on jogging-routes close to the city.
PC-service and consulting about efficiency etc. Writing speeches. Extracting the most crucial topics of an
article as service. A lot can be offered by the internet based on donations. Yoga-courses are very popular! If
the government has a good law how to support alternative energies, a lot of companies can supply and install
the necessary equipment including maintenance. Germany established a very good law concerning that.
Business-ideas
This eBook is open source. Translate and design it, sell it and give hope to the people?
People need hope. Maybe it helps to support the people to find work by business-ideas (we listed some ideas
in the attachment) and may be to support them financially (good credits, micro-credits etc.) and by consult-
ing (free of charge?) to remain realistic and avoid disasters.
We made a list of business-ideas. Documents can be found at www.mail.ch Login: a_free_world@mail.ch
Password: together; At the button online-Storage.
More Solution and Impulses
Crowd intelligence: Query the online community for good solutions with discussion forums,
moderated. Maybe awards for the best impulse?
Reward good work results instead of high wages
Online training courses (webinar) to reach many people by Smartphone, Tablet etc.
Good speeches from professionals in order to touch the heart of the people.
Energy efficiency can create jobs, money is released
Work which is not based on employee control, but on employee support. It might be enough to
control results; (Bosch / Rexroth)
Music is not junk! The streaming services endanger the musician's craft!
In Europe, we have 3 columns for stability: cooperatives, public sector and free economy
The goal of the cooperative is everyone's satisfaction; a good example is the Schweiz Confederation
Solidarity economy in the Scandinavian countries
Medial communication of solutions; Create publicity for good solutions
Promoting foundations that really promote the common good
Promoting universities that work for the common good
Regional instead of globalization
Finance by Crowdfunding is an option
Open source software as a good template to share knowledge and skills
Remove the television and use the time for the family and friends and avoid hate, stupidity,
propaganda, and frustration.
40 % of the resources are used for building houses! New technologies and more efficiency might
help a lot!
Libraries reflect a sustainable way how to share things. It is not necessary anymore to “own” the
things. Rent it, use it and give it back for the next one. Maintenance etc. can be done by
professionals. This can be extended to machines, transportation etc.
Knowledge-based Bio-economy
Transformation from a petroleum-based economy to an economy where fossil resources are replaced by re-
newable resources. Through this transformation, products and processes within a national economy should
be able to be produced sustainability. The bio-economy is based on the cycle principle of nature and sees the
change to a circular economy as an essential mission statement. In the sense of resource efficiency and sus-
tainability, it aims at the gradual utilization and multiple use of resources.

Capitalism or communism?
Very complex topic! Just one impulse. Our experience teaches us that all extreme is not good. Both systems
failed! One fault of the communism might be that we made an ideology of it and removed a part of the
cultural basis of a country, religion. And the power of self-organizing systems has been used rarely. The
capitalism is highly dynamic but the “laisser-faire”-version can degenerate to an Oligarchy which ruins the
business. Even worse if the military industry and finance-industry gets too strong and dominates all. So the
Ecological social free market economy could be a good compromise between the extremes. In capitalistic
system, the profit is the main goal, in the Neo-Liberalism very extreme. Burnout is often the consequence.
Maybe “a humanism based free market” could be a compromise, human first, then profit. As if the worker
is balanced and satisfied, a good output could be generated.
Dictator-ship or democracy?
Even more complex topic! Democratic process is a tough way but if skilled people are involved generates the
most sustainable solutions, because many brains think in parallel. But if no final instance is defined, groups
might block each other. Democracy requires good educated people and they need to participate to get best
results.
Democracy is highly dynamic if it works fine and generates a high degree of creativity.
Dictator processes are very rapid in decisions, which might be necessary sometimes. But very inflexible to
changes in the reality, if no honest feedback-system is installed. That could be the media if they are free.
It depends on of the mentality (education) and the specific situation of the people which is better for the
country. A country has to protect itself of interference in the internal affairs of the country. Even consultants
are often not free of following specific goals. Anyway a professional feedback-system (not always the people
who cry most loud are really in need!) ensures politics for the people, support and being reelected. And may
be immortal hero?
But all in all if people feel more save, more liberal countries generate more dynamic and motivation for
development. Human like to be free to generate the best performance. But chaos is worse than dictatorship!
Transforming political and economic power constructively 6.11.2021
Background
History has taught us that a concentration of power can be very dangerous for a country! "Negative forces"
like dictators because you only have to "manipulate" a few people and abuse them for your own goals. It is
then a kind of hidden war against a country or company. Worldwide a president often comes to power
through the support of "negative forces" or their media.
What happens if powerful groups, such as the military industry, finance-complex or pharmaceutical industry
have so much power that they can "support" (see John Perkins) the media, professionals and politicians to
write or say what is good for the power or Profit? With appropriate money, you can "buy" an opinion, get
any study, or silence any study that doesn't fit the goal. Or invite politicians to secret circles and then
manipulate them professionally. Politicians don't have the time to deal intensively with certain topics and
have to believe what they are told and whom they trust.
What can happen if it is not controlled?
- The industry might produce products that quickly break down, because that's good for business.
- The Powerful industry might suppress innovations, because often they are more simple and could threaten
the actual more expensive Product and make it obsolete.
- The energy industry may ensure that no alternative energy sources and methods are known that could
reduce dependency. Only unreliable alternatives might be allowed to a certain extent, like solar and wind.
- The agricultural industry may ensure that natural fertilizers and methods to maintain soil fertility
disappear in order to ensure dependency and profits with artificial fertilizers and pesticides.
- The pharmaceutical industry might ensure that alternative low-cost and effective methods for healing
disappear or are discredited, such as the homeopathy.
- Perhaps they might ensure that there are many chronically ill people, e.g. through vaccinations, because
these ensure permanent profit.
- The industry artificially might stage great dangers so that people get vaccinated. Vaccinations generate
maximum profit.
- The military industry might organize hidden conflicts and wars, because these are good for the business.
- The power structures might ensure through education and media that people do not think so critically and
question it by paying trustworthy people to discredit critical voices and communicate the desired narrative so
that the power structures continue to be funded.
This is all hypothetical, of course, but there is a great danger!
How can dangerous power structures in politics or economic be prevented?
Perhaps through an independent well-mixed group or body that monitors the activities of those in power.
Preferably with the participation of citizens, including volunteers. The quality can certainly be increased if
people have enough time to inform themselves independently.
It is important that they have the power to make a powerful person in charge retreat. For example, by
changing the responsibility. Through feedback, the government or corporate management can come to a
constructive leadership. This also strengthens the popularity of the person in charge. This honest feedback
can also be given anonymously by the competent group. It must be ensured that this group is independent.
Transparency is needed for this!
In companies, there could also be these competent groups within the company as a supervisory body, which
also focus on transparency, legality and the reputation of the company. All major decisions could be made
democratically by many experts.
Externally, the cartel offices are close to this task. Their tools could be enforcing the sharing of companies,
monitoring the methods of increasing profits, analyzing whether or not mergers are about the benefit to the
common good.
Politically, it is certainly a win-win situation if representatives of neighboring countries or relevant
(business) partners from afar also participate in this independent committee. They can share the necessary
experiences of the other country and vice versa, and everyone develops faster. The more minds working on a
topic, the better the result. Since many different people come together in this control body, even from other
countries, people make excellent experiences and perhaps already produce the next president? He already
knows a lot of what good governance means.
So it is a win-win situation at all levels and the dangers of destructive politics or corporate governance can be
reduced! There might be some concentration of power, but there is also a security instance to avoid disasters.
Proposals for a better policy with win/win-options 6.11.2021p
"Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely." (Lord Acton)
To control the power of politics is very necessary!
1) Direct democracy at all possible levels. Even at the level of the European Union. Maybe international as
well, having a global democracy! At the moment it is dominated by some few players, controlled by money.
The instruments are referendum, petitions and more like in Switzerland.
Binding referendums must take place before Basic Laws and restriction of fundamental rights are changed.
2) Independence of the judiciary: By direct election of a supreme court by the people. This can select the
appropriate people. And the controls the judiciary like in Spain.. Or a direct election of the higher judges,
public prosecutors and police chiefs at the local level by the people (model USA) - see also point 3.
3) Separation of powers between the government and the House of Representatives. Executive and
legislative powers must be clearly separated. The same like the executive and the judiciary (point 2). Those
who are supposed to control the government in parliament cannot sit in the government at the same time.
4) Restrict donations to politics. Full transparency of lobby-contacts of politicians. More transparency of
private donations. Restriction of the flow of money from legal entities to parties and politicians. Publication
of the individual donations from a certain level on. Publication of every contact of politicians with lobbyists.
This would significantly lower the lobby dependency of politics and makes live of politicians more easy and
opens a way to good governance.
5) Volunteering in politics. More free and independent volunteer-politicians, who can contribute precious
impulses and activities and increase the political quality.
The loss of earnings could be paid for this political activity.
This would greatly reduce the number of professional politicians who can be bought.
6) Limitation of the political active time: Only a maximum of two periods for all relevant political levels
could limit corruption. After that volunteering in politics could be possible.
7) The electoral law could be designed in such a way that the direct election of people in the parliament is
not possible. Instead, the number of seats could be determined by open lists with cumulating (up to 3 votes
per candidate) and possibility of distributing the votes among different parties.
8) Linking the number of seats in parliament to voter turnout: If only 50 per cent of the population goes to
the polls, only 50 per cent of the seats could be in charge, in proportion to the election result. This could
encourage politics to be more participatory and citizen-oriented.
9) Alternatives to postal voting: Postal voting is very susceptible to fraud. The legitimacy of the act of voting
is more important than a 100 per cent turnout. Digital certified voting options could be elaborated, such as
the app Democracy now.
10) Direct election of relevant political supervisory bodies in public, municipal and state institutions such as
public broadcasting, savings banks, municipal companies and state holdings (for example, railways, postal
services). Effective control could be exercised by bodies that are not delegated by party politicians or people
close to the state. The controllers could be chosen by lot, as in the case of juries.
11) Responsible politics and administration: For damages caused by wrong decisions, a regulation could be
found that also has consequences for those responsible, as in the economy.
In addition to a basic wage, there could be a certain bonus system for successful projects and decisions.
This would motivate politicians and administrators for better policies, more transparency and more direct
democracy. Because people would naturally be more involved in the decision-making process. The use of
funds could be controlled by audit offices overseen by bodies elected by the people or competent
representatives.
12) Any damage to the common good by individuals should have consequences. This requires an honest
analysis. A social and ecological tax reform could also be a good way.
13) Subsidiarity principle: To control power, the political system should be as decentralized as much as
possible. Cities and municipalities should have fiscal sovereignty and decision-making power. While the
federal states, the federal government only takes action if it cannot be solved at the lower level. Cities and
municipalities could also give up their competences voluntarily and for a limited period of time. To stimulate
competition, cities, municipalities as well as federal states could be given their own tax sovereignty.
Summary
Power needs control through separation of powers, transparency, (lobbying, costs, damages, success) and
must be motivated to accountability, for example with the polluter pays principle. A lot can be adapted from
proven processes in economic and industry, like proposals of people for improvement and award if
successful implemented. More voluntarily politicians participation.
The Consultative. More democracy through civil participation
Private Think-Tanks serve in USA as consultant for the US-government. They are very active but unfortu-
nately mainly to ensure the goal of “world dominance”. The power of the government could be comple-
mented with the “consultative” to consult in specific cases. The “Consultative” could give the people a possi-
bility to be part of the political process leading to decisions on the discussions and feedbacks of citizens. The
organization could be similar to Wikipedia, that people discuss the topics. But a system is necessary to keep
a certain order (remove lobby-groups etc.). But it gives the chance that people with different origin by educa-
tion, age and social class and various social groups are represented independent of the parties. The Councils
could consist of randomly selected citizens. They could be in service for a certain time. Or private offices
that focus on specific topics (in USA called “think-tanks”). People might feel more involved in the political
processes and it might serve the common good. So the frustration and protest against the government might
be reduced. By that people could participates the political processes and good ideas and impulses might
come up to make good politics more easy (like common “open-source”-projects in the Software-industry).
Concerning resources
The reality worldwide is often, that politicians are forced by externals by massive bribery or menace (see
confessions of John Perkins) to sign bad contracts for the country, especially concerning resources. The
prices for resources are often too low and there is few income for the country. Having something like an
international cartel for specific resources might ensure good prices and responsibility not wasting the
precious resources. But all partners have to follow the agreements and then all will have a benefit. For sure
the privileged don’t like that. But if a country has income, it will be a very interesting business-partner. So
good for the international business as well. Maybe Russia as a country with many resources is interested on
high prices and responsibility could be a good partner? At least they have experience and succeeded to keep
the limitation of the oil production on a reasonable level. On the long term this criminal activities of bribery
or menace have to be stopped e.g. by making it public or with an international court or compensation-
payments for illegal contracts based on bribery or menace. Is such a contract valid based on national laws?
Why not the same international? At least having several independent partners who compete can ensure
higher prices.
Concerning Money (update 15.7.2018)
Henry Ford said: If the people would understand the money-system, we would have a revolution before the
next morning! He might be right! An employee from a Bank (good friend) told me, with big companies you
don’t make profit, they are so professional, no chance. But with small companies who are in need, you can
make good money, because they need the money and accept many conditions. That means some Banks
speed up the process of decline of smaller companies? The same with countries? Banks make profit if
countries collapse, like it happened in Greece. The decline of one side is the profit of Banks. This shows we
need new concepts!
If giving a credit is not an irrational deal but based on professional investigation and mathematics, some
more companies might survive? Maybe crowdfunding is as well a template that companies with a high
common welfare-factor are preferential to get money?
Are all banks really system relevant? A lot of services can be managed in another way pretty well (online,
Paypal, crypto-curencies etc). Making money few effort might be not really constructive for the moral and
character and sometimes generates very strange obsessions, as the Ex-banker Ronald Bernard confessed (see
online). People understand more and more the system, and it is really shocking! In the movie Zeitgeist part 2
there is a good analysis, that the global bank system is a kind of modern slavery. National and international
as well. Banks give money to the people in order to buy a house and get interest for doing almost nothing.
And the money is virtual money, created out of nothing! Why should nations borrow money from private
Bank institutes? The actual system is a trick to get more and more nations under control by debt-bondage.
And then to force them to actions they don’t want. And to punish other countries who don’t follow “orders”.
For sure this is very simplified and the film Zeitgeist 2 and Thrive goes more in Detail. How nations can
come back to the natural system, that they dominate this sector for the common welfare?
The accumulation of money causes crises (and wars?)! Money should serve human! Only 1 % of the money
is necessary for the exchange of products! But the rest, the “virtual money” is used to buy real companies,
houses and more to extend the power even more! The finance elite trigger the crisis and at the end they are
the winner. Money is not a means of exchange, but a debt paper.
It seems that the big finance crisis is ahead, but there are a lot of chances as well for a change. We could
focus again on human and culture instead of only profit. If we miss that, the fascist people might come up
again. We face the biggest bubbles in history, that’s why China and USA wants to get rid of Dollar by
buying whatever is possible. China is investing as well a lot (belt & road). The finance-system makes money
without big effort and without contribution to the common welfare, but people should pay for their problems.
But they have a sophisticated system to ensure their goals. The liberalization of the bank-sector was the
biggest fault. Experience show that after massive sponsoring due to the crisis the high risk actions continued,
so there has to be another concept now! The finance and payment system changed fundamental (online),
therefore a common clever restructuring is urgently. The power has to go back to the government and some
tools might be the separate banking system, finance transaction tax and like in China, having government
owned banks. Historically after 49 years there was a clever “jubilee year” to reset all assets and restart. For
sure their will be excessive and loud opposition, but at the end, they might accept it, because they realize
themselves, that it cannot continue like that. But privileged want to have war to keep and increase their
power, but for the world it would mean suicide nowadays.
Local rural credit cooperatives had been working very well for human. See online “Raiffeisen Bank”
Often banker communicate with powerful companies you don’t earn money. But with companies who
are in a financial critical situation you earn a lot (but kill the company at the end!). Normally state-banks
or land-banks are more motivated not to generate bankrupt companies to ensure profit, because it harms
the land or state. Search for “Landesbank” or saving banks.
Money should servant human and the exchange of products and not vice-versa. At the moment a
financial-crisis triggers an economic crisis. There are too tight links!
Income without effort (from speculation) does not need to pay taxes but working people need to pay
taxes. Maybe it should be opposite?
Money should be available to all and generate maximal benefit for all. It shouldn't be used to take power
on other people and nations.
The split of “normal bank-business” and Investment / Speculation-business might help to reduce the risk.
It was like that before until 1999 USA and now we have a catastrophe! The Banks require help if they
have problems, because they “play” with the money of the “ordinary” people.
Financial derivative products are really useful for a country? If the national industry and economy does
not have a benefit, maybe some products are more like poison? A law could avoid damages.
A global currency without being national currency might be needed
Could Crypto-currencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum replace a part of the money-transfer? The idea is
good for international payment but established bankers will fight against that. So precautions are needed.
Do we still need that much banks? People can pretend to be a bitcoin-wallet and then they shut-down the
service. Maybe it needs to be protected against speculation by several countries? There must be reliable
bitcoin-trader and wallets. Maybe certificates or countries who ensure the stability. It should not be used
for speculation but for international business like Paypal.
In Europe, we plan to install the Finance-Transaction-Tax, at least with some countries. A good and
important step ahead and a lot of money will be available to generate more justice.
We have 3 independent columns, the legislative power, the executive authority and the judiciary. Maybe
in could be extended by the “moneytative” concerning the money. And not having it in private hands!
Countries borrow money from banks? That makes them very dependent form the banks! Who is
controlling the banks? Who has the power?
Bankers should only be bankers. To avoid that bankers make parallel companies and they rent
themselves money, there are laws generated e.g. in Ecuador. It is forbidden, that bankers do anything
else commercial then being bankers.
Sorry but if we see how much money bankers earn and what they are doing nowadays where most of the
task are done from the IT we might need rearrangement.
Are Banks nowadays the most obsolete institution? Cash is distributed by machines, for bank-accounts
no building is necessary, consulting is implement by external offices and credits can be released much
better by crowd funding etc.
The alternative concept of Silvio Gesell was very successful in Austria and generated a lot of business,
development and work. But then it was forbidden by the banks.
One solution might be a maximum upper limit for profitable assets!
Local currencies (Regios) in a specific region are very popular and part of solutions and very
successful! They keep the money in the country and support local markets. There are very good
experiences in Germany and Switzerland about that. They can work parallel to the national currency. See
online “transition towns”, “mutual credit system”, Time-based currency, local exchange trading system.

What is the benefit for a country of derivative exposure? Really necessary?
Risks of crypto-currencies (3.6.18)
It seems that the idea is genius and it is time for that money, but it is strange that it needs so much
energy to generate it! It could be made without that as well. Somebody who is selling energy was
motivating for that algorhythm to generate bitcoin based on energy-consumption? Then it is
dangerous and maybe other crypto-concepts are necessary.
It happens sometimes that a bitcoin-wallet in the Internet is fake or shut-down and then the money is
lost!
PayPall is working fine! But maybe we need an alternative for that because it is already used to
exclude political critics (Julian Assange, globalresearch.ca etc).
Errors in the actual monetary system (19.6.2018)
That actual status according to Oxfam, England is that less than 10 people posses the same like 3.7 billion,
half of mankind. That’s perverse! Through a clever trick some private bankers had been able to get the
exclusive right in USA for “printing” money, more than 100 years ago. The federal reserve bank is a private
bank! But with the time they get so much power by that, that they dominate even governments. That makes
Bankers to politicians! They are genius skilled in making money but making politics? The trick was to
borrow countries money in order to bring them in dependence, communicated by John Perkins (see online).
Currently have like a system of Fiat-money. We have a money creation on a debt basis and out of nothing.
Three fatal errors in the old monetary system inevitably lead to poverty, exploitation, hunger, wars, refugees,
disease, destruction of the environment and the associated natural disasters. If these mistakes are avoided,
humanity has a realistic chance of freeing itself from these scourges within a short time.
Error 1: Money creation through debt. Over 95% of the money available worldwide (i.e. virtually all money)
is created through debt. This means that each credit balance on one side necessarily results in the same
amount of debt for others. This zero-sum game means "me or you" - the law of war.
Error 2: Due to compound interest and interest the gap between assets and debts, rich and poor, is widening -
until the inevitable crash comes!
Error 3: Disregard of the cycle of growth and decay makes us experience this law of nature involuntarily.
Gradido as a stable financial system based on nature as template (19.6.2018)
Nature shows us the solution – for the good of everyone. The Natural Economy of Life is the result of more
than 10 years of economic bionics research. The system is based on prosperity for all, following nature's
example. If we consider the bees, they work for themselves to survive. But they work as well for the
community by collecting nectar. And she is working for the overall system by pollinate the plants. The same
with the Gradido money. It should serve personal needs, the community and for the overall system
(environment etc).
Gradido - the Natural Economy of Life - is beyond other aspects a monetary and economic model
based on natural patterns and thus a way to global prosperity and peace in harmony with natur
Money creation is back with the state and not with private banks.
Creation of money through life or contributions to the common good
Generous debt-free state budget for each country.
30 % of the created money could be used for a basic wage, 30 % for the state itself, 30 % for
environmental issues and other purposes.
There is no more interest, but the money becomes worthless A built-in transience to keep it in
circulation.
If I lend it, I get the same value back. That's the interest rate.
Payment transactions are made in crypto currencies that are fixed.
Through the cycle of growth and decay, Gradido is a self-regulating system that keeps the money
supply and thus prices stable.
This system can be implemented parallel to the existing monetary system and gradually replace it.
A similar system based on the ideas of Silvio Gesell was implemented in the 1930 years very
successful, the unemployed-rate could be reduced by 25% whereas in the rest of Austria it increased
by 10 % ! See “Successful implementation in Woergl based on the ideas of Silvio Gesell” above.
The gentle equalization between the previously poor countries and the industrial nations promotes
peace.
Gradido is resilient against speculation! It serves live!
There are more than 100 advantages listed of the system and no disadvantage had been found yet.
Only that banks might fight against that like against the system of Silvio Gesell and therefore
diplomacy and good arguments (“all will have a benefit”) are recommended, that not the killed
success-story of Woergl (see above) happens again.
Future aspects of Gradido (Joytopia)
Companies and people who serve the common welfare are supported.
Active basic income for everyone.
Compensation and environmental fund for the remediation of contaminated sites.
Feces are not disposed but fed back into the cycle.
Broad usage of free energy and alternative energy sources.
Production of products from recyclable materials.
Many Part-time jobs, everyone works according to his nature.

Swiss Sovereign Money Initiative (Schweizer Vollgeld-Initiative)
The Swiss full-money initiative wants only the National Bank to generate electronic money. Because the
uncontrolled money creation of the banks is the main cause of financial crises.
Private banks should set limits on lending. These should not be able to create unlimited electronic
book money through new loans
Banks should only grant loans to the extent that they have previously received funds from savers,
other institutions or the central bank.
For the money creation alone the central bank would be responsible;
This could make the monetary system safer and prevent financial crises.
The aim of the Swiss Sovereign Money Initiative is to reform the banking and money system to
work the way that most people would like, which happens to also be the way that most people
believe it already works:
• The Swiss National Bank would be the sole organization authorized to create money – not only
cash and coins, but also the electronic money in our bank accounts.
• The banks would provide all the services as they do now including bank accounts, payment
transactions and loans. They just won’t be able to create money anymore. The main advantage of
this reform would be a fairer and more stable banking system:
• The harmful build-up of over-indebtedness in the economy would no longer be a necessary
byproduct of the system, therefore making banking crises less likely.
• Money would no longer ‘disappear’ in a major banking crises (where several large banks go
bankrupt).
• Taxpayers would no longer have to bailout banks in the event of a crisis.
• The advantages from money creation would go to the public, rather than to the banks. The
government would then decide whether to use additional revenues to lower taxes, pay off the
national debt, fund additional infrastructure or services, or pay a dividend directly to all citizens.
• The changes to the banking system will not change the way that banks’ customers will interact with
banks or the services they offer.

. Islamic Banking as an Alternative? 21.5.2020
The fuel rods of this worldwide and extremely unstable financial reactor consist of the interest system with
its insane compound interest.
In Islamic banking, interest transactions are not allowed. Financial instruments such as derivatives are
forbidden. Stock market speculation is also not permitted under Islamic law.
The depositors are partners who, with the money invested, have a share in the profits made or losses
incurred. This type of banking business is called private equity. The investor thus participates in companies
in the classical way by means of share certificates and the like and thus brings the money into the real
economic cycle. In any case, such investments generate some form of real added value. The opposite of this
is speculation on the stock exchange.
There was (bank in Tunisia that was ruined) and is a minimum of certain moral rules of the game: They are
not allowed to receive any capital from or invest in businesses that have to do with alcohol, gambling,
pornography, tobacco, weapons or pork.
Consequently, Islamic banks are quite crisis-proof. Washington Post on 31 October 2008 "Islamic banking:
steadfast in shaky times". No exploding national debt, no "Black Fridays" in the stock market, no real estate
crises and so on. Islamic banks weathered the 2009 financial crisis remarkably well.
Amr al - Faisal: "In Islamic finance, no one can create money out of thin air". "Our business relationships are
linked to real economic activities, such as an asset or a service. You cannot create money out of money.
The finance-transaction Tax, the secret weapon to generate win/win-situations.
A tiny tax slows the high speed speculation and generates massive income for the governments and could
ensure that they get their power back.
The value-added tax is not so fair because it affects rich and poor in the same way and harm poor people
more.
We have to keep in mind, the “laisser-faire”-capitalism (Neo-Liberalsim) and Faschism are very
close related. Power makes often corrupt. Super-Power or wealth could spoil the character and
generate very strange ambitions as we could hear in the statements of Ex-Banker Ronald Bernard
(see online). And the logic of the finance-industry we hear shocking often is, “we need a war again”!
But a balanced social market-system doesn’t need that! The public welfare has to dominate the
individual welfare, otherwise the “organism” collapse, the business stops, because most money is in
few hands and they are saturated. But all are not happy, because on side suffer from isolation, hate
and disdain, the other side from poverty, hopelessness and desperation. Both side miss the chance for
development on a higher human level. Greece is one example how the finance interest had been
dominating the interest of a nation with dramatic consequences for the majority. It seems that some
groups intentional give countries too much credit in order to make them dependent as John Perkins
described (see online). George Soros communicated, that it shouldn’t be possible that few
speculators can collapse whole nations as it happened in Thailand and Greece. The nations need to
protect itself and the world community needs to ensure that!
The finance-transaction-Tax is an amazing Tool to ensure win/win situations and to support groups to
contribute to the common welfare. Good speculators have the typical symptoms of addict people. Sorry, not
all are like that! We help drug addicts by removing the drug or at least reduce it. Why not in the finance-
industry as well?
A very small amount for all will not harm this “industry” a lot. It will not affect the degree of
satisfaction a lot. But it is a very big benefit for the common welfare, e.g. for the poor people to
come up an share more joy with others.
If in a family if one is drug addicted and he threatens the whole family with that including himself,
the family has to “motivate” this person to change his habits in a way, that the complete family can
survive, including the drug addict, or? It is like a cancer-cell in a body, which takes too much energy
of the complete system, will collapse the complete system including himself. Excessive money in
few hands threaten the social stability and common welfare.
A good marketing might be to communicate that this tax is a solidarity-tax (which is true). Maybe it
helps to make a minimal tax and everybody can top-up and decide for which good projects or
branches it should be used (for children, old people etc).
Even a small finance-transaction-tax will generate extreme money for the government, to be used for
many purposes.
The finance-industry lives on the account of others, they make money without big effort, most is
nowadays computerized. They are happy if they make more profit like the other. By a small tax all
are reduced in their profit, the Delta remains the same, but they payback the common welfare, who
financed their business.
Maybe by that a collapse of the system could be avoided, because the money returns back to a
circular-system. A balance in the money-flow is essential for a sustainable economic.
Mostly the arguments against that are that the “money is leaving the country”. But not all money
serves a country! Speculation can be poison for a nation and the national economy.
The human egoism and greed can be due to isolation and missing compassion unlimited. The Earth
cannot manage that and the people are not happy and isolated! The community has to define a lime
to serve all. Laisser-faire education or spoiled children by getting all they want generates very
difficult children for themselves and for others, there is enough experience on that. Maybe the same
concerning money, power and egoism? Maybe the same pattern appear? The problem is, that people
get isolated, but they don’t know why! How we all can help them?
How to avoid that money is leaving the country?
Russia requested that NGOs have to make transparent the transfer of money which is coming from external.
May be a similar system can be installed that big amounts of money going out of the country have to be ap-
plied and checked, whether it is used for “good business”. E.g. Allowance to transfers only with prior
authorization by the national central bank. Capital controls should be configured “socially responsible”. It
might be possible to prevent the flight of capital, with no paralyze on current transfers if it is possible to
eliminate the reason for the capital-transfer. Like the mistrust, the stability of the currency, the payback of
the credits etc. But all has to be implemented with very high sensibility because it can paralyze the business!
The death tax (inheritance tax) helps to generate justice and increase the chance for development
Our experience teach us that often the children of the owner of the company or at least the next generation
ruins the company. Why? Everybody who is building up the company suffers a lot, is fighting a lot, has times
where he/she wants to give up, experience times of desperation but continues fighting until he / she wins. All
these procedures shape up the character towards ability to suffer, persistence, energy, fast thinking, fast
reacting, flexibility, decisions based on experience etc. All these skills are often not well trained by the next
generation. For sure there are excellent examples. On perspective of a national economy and responsibility, it
is best for all if somebody who is shipped with all the above skills will be the manager and owner. That does
not exclude that the son / daughter is working as well in that company. So if we support the next generation
by having a fair death tax (to distribute the money again to all!), and that they fight themselves for a good
position, we will have proud and skilled leaders. And satisfied others.
Norway, Sweden and Finland have this and they still have a strong economy! And there is not even one
company who get bankrupt because of the high death tax. But they have an excellent education-system and a
high social justice.
Money for nothing is not the basic principle of live and does not really generate happy people. But working
for money and then buying something generates a lot of satisfaction. Money for nothing does not really
contribute to a good character and creativity etc.
Fair-Tax-System ensure homogeneous distribution of money
Concentration of money in too few hands is poison for all involved. A high value added tax (VAT) will
punish poor people, because they pay the same like rich people for all products!
A progressive income tax ensures as well a redistribution of money and maybe a revolution, if it gets too
extreme. Finland, Norway and Sweden has this system and they have a good economic, social peace and
satisfied people.
The degree of social justice defines the degree of the overall happiness in a country
The degree of social justice defines the degree of happiness in a country. This is a very crucial perception
for a change! The higher the social justice the higher the happiness for all and vice versa! So there is a
solution for all! But the egoism avoids development of human. We need to help these pitiably people who
stuck in development by remaining in egoism to step ahead and progress. OECD can assist with tips who to
help these people.
Motivating privileged people to share
Having the money too much concentrated in few hands is poison for the national economy (see OECD-state-
ments). Worse, often it generates decadence! Excessive money is often not used for investment but for
speculation. And unfortunately most are not using it for more justice but for more power. But to improve that
situation which is not good for all (including the “rich”), is extremely difficult. Rotary and Lions-club exist
because people realized that development stopped if you remain in egoism. Sharing what we have opens a
cosmos and emotional new dimensions! Somebody said: “who get a lot, should to give a lot”.
May be to motivate them in a positive way to share. To give them the freedom to support the community
in whatever aspects they like. And to reward it with paying e.g. fewer taxes (implemented in Germany).
May be to present it as “solidarity contribution”. And to fix a minimal-value with options for free top-up.
And to use that money exclusively for social and educational purposes with feedback and free decision
for what it should be used (education, poverty etc.).
May be to make it public that they donated and supported this or that. May be to mention their name
somewhere in stone to make them immortal with that.
May be by making regularly a contest about who donated the most in relation to the income and may be
absolute.
An online-platform could describe relevant projects that fit to everybody (e.g. Crowd-funding platforms
etc.). e.g. www.Betterplace.de is such an interesting platform.
OECD has some good ideas and impulses concerning that topic. But we see in many organizations that
they are misused already for specific lobby-groups! So we have to be careful, the Neo-Liberalism is very
aggressive and misuses many “good” organizations for its purpose.
There is good handbook on Combating Corruption: www.osce.org/secretariat/232761
Extreme contradictions in a country generate instabilities and violence.
How to avoid a revolution?
This is a complex issue. But may be a possibility for feed-backs to the government (cultivated meetings and
discussions, by letter, or postcard, Email, online etc.) could help a lot to identify the real problems and
request. Evolution instead of revolution could be a constructive way. Mostly after revolutions the situation
is worse. Communicating the consequences of revolutions (Arabic spring, Ukraine etc) could help to show
the majority, that it is not the right way. Offering talks could show that one side is interested on a solution. If
the other side does not follow, it could indicate that they are not interested in solutions but trouble. Fixing a
specific date for that could help the opposition to go in “stand-by” until the talks will take place.
May be newspapers could make an online-survey concerning different topics. Another way is to check the
money which is transferred to the NGOs from outside. Often these groups and people are misused for to
trigger a revolution! Russia and China implemented a law concerning that.
Destructive and constructive way to implement goals (2.7.18)
Destructive approach
Make sure you keep your point. The other one will accept it one day.
Make it permanently and very loud known to the public that the right is on your side and the other
side is wrong.
Only look for solutions that satisfy your interests as much as possible, after all you are right.
Confront your opponent with accomplished facts that which will weaken him.
Find allies who follow you unconditionally, that intimidates.
If the opponent does not give in, then threaten him.
Under no circumstances accept mediation attempts of third parties, because they only want to
support your opponent.
Make inquiries about your opponent's private life and pass it to the media.
If that's not enough, start rumors about bounced checks, imminent insolvency or your opponent.
Going down with the opponent is always better than making concessions. After all it is about the
victory of truth.
Constructive way
Bringing the topics on a factual and objective level to ensure discussion and avoid escalation. That
shows the superiority of the party who is able for that.
Being flexible about the position and compromises might come up. At least it will unmask the other
side.
For a better common discussion-process ensure that both positions are communicated in the media
and relevant circles.
Looking for solutions and compromises that will satisfy both sides, mostly there is truth on all sides.
Be open for the arguments of the other side while presenting the own arguments based on facts,
sources, studies etc.
Find specialist and partners who support the goal based on knowledge, experience and skills and
propose that the other side as well.
Avoid violence and menace by offering to invite for discussions, write letters, Internet-formulas,
Emails, optional anonymous to bring it on a cultural human level.
Neutral mediation or third parties could help to progress.
Making the opponent's private life public might disqualify the own position. The same with start
rumors (no facts) about the opponent. That shows the low level and desperation of one side. But
making public who is sponsoring and the supporting the other side might show the real ambitions.
If the opponent does not accept it, give him the feeling that “we are all sitting in the same boat”!
That the benefit for all is higher if there is a compromise and vice versa.
Make clear that there might be “a laughing third” of the conflict and all are losing except the third.

Implementing politics for the people and the country
Unfortunately some groups have a sophisticated system to menace politicians to act in a specific way for spe-
cific goals. George Friedman said in a speed 2016: “what USA is doing brilliant we force other player to do
what we want…”. Many countries are victim of that and people and colleagues feel and realize it. Hate, dis-
dain and frustration are coming up and the personal biography is spoiled only to serve others which hide
themselves. Worse the politician might get isolated because the country and other politician have to protect
themselves. That happened in Ukraine with Arsenij Jazenjuk and he left the parliament at the end. There are
numerous tricks to get somebody under control.
How to come out of this? Lenin said, “speak openly about your faults and they cannot blame you for that”.
Some politicians confirm that they do what is requested, but at the end they don’t. Another easy method is to
explain, that the parliament or the people don’t accept it. Another trick is to speak in a specific e.g.
“monotonous” voice, if it is “forced wording”. Insiders understand the message. Another way is to get the
media under control that they are not allowed to report topics which are private issues of the politician. At
least to publish compromising material of politicians might be prohibited. A doctor has to make a good work
and his private obsessions are private! Some Think-Tanks play a very important role concerning media-
manipulation and manipulation of politician. Several politicians (the best would be all) resist following the
external orders. That makes it very difficult to react simultaneously. All in all it seems to be good not to talk
bad about USA in public. Washington is very sensible on that! Better might be sometimes a compliment and
to focus on “good governance” for the people.
Another approach is implemented in Germany to have a list of people who are allowed to get in contact
with relevant politician in charge and maybe to log shortly the content and to make it public. This is
triggered by a NGO called “lobby-control”.
Migration-Topics (12.6.2019)
A certain level of immigration can have positive aspects for a country.
The main aspect is certainly the human, the participation in
the persecution and suffering of the migrants, and the
perception of the need of those affected.
Migrants can be a great enhancement! They can set important
development impulses. If the integration is well implemented,
we could get a win / win situation.
The United States are ultimately much highly innovative by
the great mixing of races.
Every sociologist knows that an aging society urgently needs
young people. The financing of the pension is at risk and a late retirement age is required. Who cares
for the elderly?
Other less privileged countries such as Turkey or Lebanon have to face a higher proportion of
refugees and they are dealing with this task.
It is observed that even in areas of high migration proportion (Munich), the economy certainly is
going well, and in the east of Germany with few migrants the economy is not good.
Xenophobia is often more likely to be found in areas where there are just few foreigners. In these
areas people only have little experience with "the very different" people. In Frankfurt, for example,
they deal very confidently with the foreigners.
Overage Neighborhood with a certain proportion of migration have fewer problems with the care for
elderly, as repeatedly documented. Much is taken over by the migrants so one could also establish
employment.
In many countries the villages overage dramatically. Migrants could fill an important gap here.
There are a lot of unused buildings which expires. Making use of these would be a win for everyone.
Medical care ashore is often patchy. Trained migrants could compensate appropriately here.
Today, certain IT activities can also be made "remote" from the country, this could be migrants. Or
professional farming could be revived through organic vegetable growing, aquaponic techniques etc.
There are very positive reports in this regard from the Italian community Riace and others.
The transfer payments of migrants are the best development aid, because they come directly to the
base. But Transfer fees are enormous and should be made lower.
Migrants are often more courageous to open shops or run a business.
Because of the formation of the migrants there is also a good development aid given for the countries
of origin when they should return later.
Major technological and economic impetus for the origin countries can be made by the migrants.
The task for the future will be to integrate these countries into the world economy, so our economy
will get the necessary important impulses. A paradigm shift is called for and migrants could be the
necessary bridge.
In our experience, migrants are rewarding and highly motivated employees with very little
complacency. This could be an incentive for the country. Competition is good for the motivation.
It is observed, even in the US, that migrants often work and afford for 150% to compensate certain
discrimination. These are important impulses especially for the management levels! The United
States did recognize this fact and they benefited from it a lot.
The brain drain is a problem, but it can be solved. For example, by professionals working in the
countries of origin which still have contact to the host country (Import / Export, Industrial relocation
...).
It can arise new tasks to a saturated society that are very conducive to their own development. We
can confirm this fact by own experiences.
There is the chance to learn about other religions and cultures and better understanding of mutual
enrichment and horizon enlargement.
These things which have been practiced successfully in national, a stable middle class, should be the
first point all around the world. Growth markets are no longer with us, we must open ourselves to
Asia, Africa etc. Migrants could help you to understand and work on these markets. Furthermore,
they create important purchasing power in these countries through transfers of money.
For religious people the sympathy to people in need and escape is an essential part of the life of her
faith.
Perhaps there should be commissioner for integration, which dissolve tensions and problems in the
villages and towns as a mediator and who know both sides very well. Maybe they should also
simplify professional integrations. He can also be a well-integrated migrant.
A system modeled on the student loans system could lead to a payback of the costs. In a few years
the migrants pay back a part of the costs in certain rates. Perhaps there would be a win / win
situation.
Perhaps it is important with regard to migrants to also point out the long-term benefits.
Perhaps one can help these people to become self-employed. In the countries of their origin they
have often successfully run small businesses. This is almost the standard for most people and they
can manage it well. These people are very good at improvising and very flexible. They are able to
get through bad times. And they are also willing to work first with bad hourly wages, but
independently and freely.
Maybe in handicraft, repairing cars, electronic devices, building services and building houses. At the
current prices one notices that there is demand.
Perhaps in the service sector, the elderly, the disabled, gastronomy, etc..
Or simply Ebay sellers, that also goes well from the country. One could approach the people,
everyone still has something useful in the household. That should be returned to the cycle. So we
come into an urgently needed circular system.
In general, a lot is still possible in the recycling sector (pre-sorting electronic scrap, etc.).
For everything one could offer trainings. The cheapest and easiest are probably online trainings
(webinars), multilingual. A good online platform for migrant medicine has been created in
Würzburg. Possibly with an exchange of experiences platform.
By migrants for migrants. Build an internal exchange and market. Maybe exchange online?
Perhaps there are also cultural possibilities to promote them? Cultural associations, teahouses, etc.
could greatly increase the satisfaction of migrants.
Perhaps counselling and support could help to become successful.
In the longer term, import / export to the home country will also be interesting.
For communication, an app on the smartphone can also serve as a virtual translator (e.g. AIVC). It is
often used in medicine.
Maybe install a kind of micro-credit system? This works quite well in the countries of origin. But
also because it's mostly for women. The institutions that issue microcredits have a lot of experience
in motivating customers. For example, a small loan. If that runs then the next larger etc.. Or group
loans. If one part of the group has successfully completed it, the next part gets something.
One could perhaps lure financially as an incentive. Communicate to reduce certain transfer payments
if you are not financially independent within e.g. 2 years. Or talk about deportation after a certain
time, because then a professional integration is not so easily possible.
This "informal sector" gives our economy a certain flexibility. It is extremely flexible to adapt to
change and may give some stability to the community. During the great crisis, this sector may still be
able to hold its own and provide stability. The communities in the countries of origin are strongly
built on this area. The whole family is highly motivated to help.
Backgrounds
- The problem is probably that many people are a bit frustrated, which leads to a projection onto certain
population groups, which are not the cause. The social gap has declined dramatically reported by OECD,
which is also economically poison and creates social tensions. But the groups who are responsible for that
are not easy to identify and to address. The OECD is providing additional training courses for this major
political task.
- Migration has a lot to do with the rich countries. Anyone who knows the world independencies quickly
realizes that by far too low prices for the raw materials and agricultural products the people are forced into
poverty. They say, "we don’t want your alms rich, but fair prices for our products, that’s enough". In that
way everything is going to be better, even corruption etc.
If 1% according to the latest Oxfam report has almost as much as 99% of the rest, massive social dislocation
and migration might be inevitable. An interesting statement was, "if there was no Boko Haram and IS, they
maybe should be created in such circumstances".
Concerning self-defense 11.5.2019
Weapons for self-defense generate a high risk for escalation because the aggressor fears being hurt as well,
so he wants to be faster. And he is faster because he is prepared and has less fear, and he might be more
professional handling weapons. On the other side by self-defense there is a high risk of misunderstandings
generating an escalation and a court. We have to keep in mind that there is a mighty “rifle-association”, to
promote their (weapon-)products with excellent marketing!
It really hurts a lot when there is violence against women, but also when citizens feel threatened. But the
possibilities for protection have developed a lot. For protecting things, there is a huge market of alarm
systems etc. but for protect human? The market is a bit diffuse. Perhaps the government can also support for
good solutions, that not the weapon-industry dominates that market?
- Calling for help via the mobile phone usually takes longs but an Emergency-App could be activated easily
(acoustic as well?) and call emergency, maybe as well Smartphones around who have the same App? It
could be combined with a police emergency call system with localization.
- Screaming loudly is always good?
- Pepper spray seems to be a good way to keep attackers away. They get better and better, and they
deactivate the aggressor, but don’t seriously hurt him.
- CS spray is apparently not quite so good and effective.
- This spray could be combined with a camera and microphone (very cheap today), in order to have
evidences.
- Furthermore the aggressor could be marked optically to identify the perpetrator more easily.
- This could be combined with a loud acoustic signal.
- In case of an accidental use, a moderate fixed compensation could be fixed.
- Information for the citizens could help to feel more secure and communicate that the government and
police takes care of that. Perhaps communicating the consequences for the relevant perpetrator groups.
- This could also become a good business model, because the market is huge worldwide! After specific
incidents more and more weapons are offered also by Internet. If that is not controlled it can get critical.
- Perhaps cooperate with other countries, they have similar problems.
- Furthermore, most migrants are very grateful to be here. Perhaps they could also work more for security?
For example, by being able to quickly and easily report anything suspicious. Maybe communicate a kind of
leniency program. Maybe paid guards in parks who respond to screams? And communicate "secure routes"?
- Many (critical) people could be sent to the country working for premium agriculture, like organic food.
This could also be a healing-process and other people have a benefit from that.
Mind-control and manipulation (29.4.2019)
You will live to see man-made horrors beyond your comprehension (Nicola Tesla).
Sometimes we realize that people do things, which does not make a sense or it is even negative for the
person and the persons responsible linked to that person. John Perkins described in his book “economic hit
man” and online a lot of common techniques used by the US-government of bribery and menace. But there
are much more sophisticated techniques available like Mkultra, Mknaomi, Mkdelta etc.
It seems that the nature is working as well with a kind of “wireless Lan” called scalar-waves. Intense
investigation had been done by Nicola Tesla (respect!), Prof. Dr. Konstantin Meyl of Germany and many
more. There are clear evidences that they exit (see links), the speed is much higher than any transistor can
detect and Scalar-waves can transport energy as well. They offer amazing opportunities concerning plants
and human (medical). But the negative aspect is, that they can be used for mind-control individual or
collective. Maybe the HAARP-System serves this purpose?
There are different ways for protections. No contact to critical people, only collective contact or a second
group evaluates the decisions, making laws to punish this kind of activities, threatening to cut relations if it
continues, informing relevant people about that kind of techniques and making it public if something
happens. Unfortunately the UN and international court is not a reliable partner anymore concerning that.

Protection against Media-Manipulation
Concerning the manipulation of media, it seems that some lobby-groups have massive influence on the me-
dia of many countries. They do it in Germany by integrating the chef-editor and others in Think-Tanks (re-
ported by Dr. Uwe Krueger). And also by forms for download at the embassy where you can apply payment
if you write in a specific way (reported by Dr. Uwe Krüger)
Proposal for a solution of Dr. Uwe Krueger: What could be the “security gap between journalists and
elites”? May be like New York Times. In its Code of Ethics, there is a paragraph that journalists are not al-
lowed to engage themselves in organizations that themselves develop newsworthy activities or are connected
with politics and business. They may not sit in advisory councils or trustees. They may only engage them-
selves in journalistic training and further education. This is a purity which would like to see in country as
well!
The trick is to force politicians by the media to resign or to to what others want. Maybe it helps if the media
follow the rule to communicate only facts and not comments about politicians? And the rule that the media
are independent and not sponsored from external.
Maybe a law could help to avoid that too one-sided news or lies are communicated. Because they could
threaten the international relations with dramatic economical and political damages.
How to protect politicians of accusations by the Media?
By not allowing to talk about private topics of the politicians only about the political craft. By that may be
public accusations could be reduced. Another way could be that the source of the information must be
published! That means leaked telephone-calls, Emails, Money-transfer-information (mostly coming from
USA) are not allowed.
How to handle terrorist attacks? (8.4.2018)
Life is a miracle. Is it our right to dispose over life, if we did not create it?
Albert Schweizer spoke of “reverence of life, respect of life”.
Hate the sin and not the sinner! The sinner could convert to respectable person, as it was with Paul in the
holy bible.
Terror-attacks are sometimes the expression of desperate people if nobody listens to them. But often
terror is misused for political purposes. If we are able to punish the sin and not to kill the sinner, we
show that we give him the change to change his behavior. And there are numerous success-stories.
We did not create life. Is it our right to kill life, to “dispose” or mandate over life? From religious
aspect we are not allowed! But we are allowed to defend us!
If somebody is in prison and has to work for many years it is mostly a bigger deterrence and punish
like killing somebody. We should consider that.
Normally a Military army has no chance against Partisan-fighters. They are almost invisible, have
numerous techniques to attack and are extremely flexible.
There have never been good success-stories about successful fight against terrorist. Normally the oppo-
site might take place, more and more are existing.
Colombia made negotiations now successfully with the FARC-revolutionaries giving them amnesty un-
der certain conditions.
Maybe it helps to follow the strategy “communication instead of confrontation”?
Maybe it could help a lot that certain groups feel accepted and taken serious.
Maybe it helps to share the income of resources with all relevant groups? If the people are satisfied, they
don’t need to fight violently.
Maybe it helps to integrate someone of the different groups in the government?
By bombing never it was possible to solve the problem with the partisans. But sometimes it generates
even more partisan, because by killing relatives serious hate can come up.
Protection against Cyber-attacks on Power-Stations and Infrastructure
If there are Siemens Simatic-controller installed for to control equipment, the PC where the Simatic-Manager
is installed (for programming or delete) has full access to all controllers, if they are linked by LAN! But
other PC could have access as well, but it is more sophisticated (e.g. Virus Stuxnet). But a direct access to
the Simatic-controller is also possible by remote (IP-protocol) if connected to the Internet.
For remote-support many controllers are linked to the Internet. Disconnecting the cable and connecting only
on demand might help to increase security. Crucial plants (energy, water, transportation etc) should have a
save backup-strategy to recover soon and of course a save protection against remote-access. A lot of remote-
control Software (Cisco AnyConnect, Teamviewer) are US-products! Unfortunately the Simatic-controllers
are not yet so well protected against remote-access (by IP-Protocol).
It seems that there is remote access to all windows-PC and it seems the “backdoor” is integrated in Windows.
No100 % protection is possible if connected with the Internet. Linux, Ubuntu etc. is different and can be
fully protected.
Protecting the Software
With https://www.auvesy.com/versiondog.html it is possible to monitor Versions and to protect the Software
of Cyber-attacks, because all is monitored very accurately. Many companies use it.
Alternatives for the military industry
Investing in the future market “recycling”. The Belt & Road Initiative is perfect for bidirectional transport.
Recycling old war equipment, lithium batteries, lead batteries. Or railroad construction for the Belt and Road
Initiative, wagons, luxury wagons, hospital on rails, railroad-engine, tiny houses for refugees, gray water
recycling plants, communication systems, energy supply systems, solar inverters, storage centers for
alternative energies, professional irrigation systems, professional removing of land mines and much more.
How to build a bridge between enemies?
Proverb: Fight with love against hate. Not with hate against hate, that would be stupid! And hate the sin and
not the sinner! The basic principle of the universe is love. And that can bring all together (unknown source).
That is a complex issue. But it has the potential to write history and generate heroes! And it shows human
greatness! But that indicates as well a high human culture for the one who is going this way!
To understand the other side, maybe it helps to know that in 90 % the background of arrogance are
complexes and isolation. And isolation means as well to see the reality not properly, very dangerous to
threaten all!
Terrorism cannot be removed by violence, as our experience showed. Since 11th September 2001 it is getting
more and more terrorist. So maybe overcome the “negative” by positive approaches? At least in Colombia
with the Farc-Rebells it worked successful. So we have a template how it could work. What they have done?
So offered to be integrated in the society, to get work and to be represented in the government.
May be making music together or any other culture. At least in Israel it worked very well with the
Philistine people.
Promoting sport activities between the different groups can help a lot to come together.
Integrating the minorities in the government could help.
Ensure certain freedom or compromises to “enemies”.
At least get in negotiations to understand more about the frustration of the other side.
Making things together might be better than talking about the problems.
We have to keep in mind, if two are fighting, both will lose and there might be a laughing third!
Education
Professional web-based training could reduce the costs and ensure specific training and information (health
care etc.). Free E-books for education etc. can be found here: http://bookboon.com/en
Medical topics
Making business with medical drugs is a big market and very dangerous if it is too much based on profit-
oriented thinking without moral. You make more profit if the people are thick (generating new symptoms…)
and remain sick. But there are amazing alternatives by healing food or alternative, natural medicine. For
healing food we get a nice overview of a friend, see extra Document.
In many rural areas the medical treatment is still poor. Here several excellent books are available for free:

How to reduce drug problems? What we can learn of Iceland? (3.6.18)
Iceland is very successful in the fight against dangerous drugs! 1. Young people under 16 must be at home
at 0 o'clock in summer, at 10 o'clock in winter; 2. Children are not allowed to drink alcohol at home and
there are watching people at parties. 3. Encouraged of drug-free recreational activities; 4. Statistical
monitoring of the actual status; 5. For tobacco minimum 18 years, alcohol minimum 20 years. Tobacco and
alcohol advertising is prohibited. 6. Funding of prevention work against drugs.
Implementing Land reforms successfully (2.12.18)
In many countries after a certain time, the land is concentrated in too few hands. But a Land reform needs to
be planned carefully to ensure success.
It is about a "social, environmentally, democratic and participative regulation" of the land question.
Use of land for food sovereignty and food security, the human right on water, the protection of water
reservoirs and the development of new rural settlements.
Land reform must also lead to a decline in extensive cattle breeding.
Reduction of the "disorderly mining industry".
Win/win situation could be generated by integrating all parties, including the old owners.
Cooperatives are good institutions for to get the products to the market.
Ecuador successfully made a local land reform. The former employees are now the owners.
Professional consultants could ensure success. Cooperation ensures more exchange of information
and experience.
Cooperation on certain topics to ensure efficiency and reduce the cost. e.g. transportation to urban
areas where a higher prices can be realized.
Common dryer-devices for preservation and long distance transportation.
common professional storage-devices
common buying of seed and fertilizer
Common insurance for years with less harvest.
Installing security systems that not some people are forced by others to take too much money out of
the farm.
One Template from Ecuador called “Ley de Tierras Rurales y Territorios Ancestrales”
Distribution of unused agricultural land to small farmers and companies, e.g. within the framework
of a solidarity-based economy. Solidarity-based economy refers to cooperatives and other forms of
joint economic action.
Program for financial support and technical advice. Social and ecological aspects are the criteria for
awarding the contract. In this way, jobs and the protection of biodiversity can be the result.
Selling of land to foreign investors has to be reduced. Foreigners could purchase a maximum of
2,000 hectares. Larger areas require financial participation by the country.
Under certain circumstances, expropriations are possible.
The law is intended to prevent a concentration of land ownership for the purpose of speculation.
It is planned to set up an advisory board consisting of representatives of the government and civil
society to monitor the "land fund" to be created for the allocation of land.
A survey helped to list the most important issues.
Some suggested that there should be a limit on the size of land ownership.
Optional legalization of "a certain cultivation of marijuana, poppy seed and coca for therapeutic,
medical, industrial or cultural purposes".

The miracle plant hemp 5.8.2019
Cultivating hemp has many positive aspects
- numerous useful natural products can be made from hemp
- hemp is an excellent medical plant
- hemp is no. 1 in facing the climate change by planting fast growing bushes.
- reduce crime and victims by legalizing hemp as the better drug controlled by the government.
- generating tax-income to sponsor some projects.
- bringing people back to the countryside by generating more profit / ha.
- More plants and trees generate more rain
Hemp (Cannabis sativa) is not only one of the oldest cultivated plants of mankind, but also one of the most
profitable. No other plant can be used in a more diverse way: Hemp seeds provide protein-rich foods, hemp
fibres the most durable textiles, paper and building materials, and hemp flowers a medicine that has been
used for thousands of years.
The very useful industrial hemp was probably banned only because it competed with the wood, oil, cotton,
petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries. Industrial hemp cannot be used as a drug and yet it was also
banned. This clearly shows that this was not about the use of hemp as a drug! A government only has to
reverse the coercion by US interest representatives to ban industrial hemp, everything else is regulated by the
market. There is no easier way to get jobs, independence, environmental protection and an excellent natural
raw material.
- Hemp can be grown on a large scale on nutrient-poor soils.
- Italian farmers grow hemp to clean contaminated soil. Soils that have been leached out and poisoned can
be made usable and fertile again with hemp.
- It can be cultivated with very small amounts of water.
- For hemp little to no chemistry is necessary and it can be cultivated without fertilizer.
- Hemp can also help save our shrinking forests by eliminating the need to use it as a paper raw material.
According to USDA, one hectare of hemp produces as much pulp as 4.1 hectares of trees. Unlike trees, hemp
can be harvested two to three times a year. Hemp paper is finer, stronger and lasts longer than wood paper.
The hemp fibre makes the waste paper more durable.
- Hemp is a valuable raw material for everything. It finances itself through it.
- It is therefore excellent for creating jobs.
- It could also be cultivated on temporarily unused areas (lease etc.).
- In order to avoid the various problems caused by plastic, plastic substitutes can also be produced from
hemp, which is biodegradable and non-toxic.
- For clothing: Hemp can be grown with little water and hemp fabrics can be produced without the use of
toxic chemicals.
- Hemp cultivation is profitable! The yields of hemp can be between 20,000 and 50,000 dollars per hectare.
It could be a self-financing solution to the environmental crisis.
- Hemp can also be used to make building materials.
- Hemp can reduce our dependence on petrochemicals for fuels (bio-fuel).
- Hemp can create value in the country by producing the many products that are possible with hemp. These
could also be exported. Thus the countries become more independent.
- A crop failure insurance for bad years could protect the producers.
- The rural exodus could thus perhaps be reversed if the products yield a good return.
- Tiny houses can quickly create living space near the fields.
- There could be information about cultivation via the Internet.
- The market price is still very high. Many countries (Germany etc.) have to import because of the high
demand. Who comes too late, the life punishes him.
The cheapest and most efficient way to counter the climate crisis is to grow industrial hemp. 30.7.2019
Hemp is one of the fastest CO2-to-biomass conversion tools on the market. It can be grown for fibers, fabric,
oil, food, clean burning biofuels and other purposes. Industrial hemp has been shown to absorb more CO2
per hectare than any other forest or crop, making it the ideal carbon sink.
- Cultivating hemp helps combat climate change.
- This could lead to subsidies being granted in the form of CO2 certificates.
- Reforestation is supported by many organisations.

Medical use of cannabis and THC 5.8.2019
Nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite and emaciation, spasticity, movement disorders, pain,
Glaucoma, epilepsy, asthma, addiction and withdrawal symptoms, psychiatric symptoms, autoimmune
diseases and inflammation, itching, hiccups, ADD (attention deficit syndrome), hypertension, tinnitus,
chronic fatigue syndrome, restless leg syndrome.
For pain disorders with an inflammatory part (e.g. arthritis) or an increased muscle tone (e.g. menstrual
cramps, spinal spasticity) or for conditions with nausea and loss of appetite, possibly with additional pain
and/or anxiety or depression (e.g. AIDS, cancer, hepatitis C).
Cannabis reverses the ageing process in the brain: it opens up new treatment methods for dementia: Scientist
at the University of Bonn
Hemp as a “harmless” drug alternative, even to replace alcohol? (23.12.2019)
Drugs have always accompanied humanity and are always a reality. Human is not a machine and maybe
from time to time he needs “the extraordinary”, to work well? The carnival may also serve this purpose.
Alcohol as a drug kills countless people and people and families.
Should a country leave the ever-existing market of drugs to itself (crime is coming up) or control it? In the
US there are daily more than 140 drug-related deaths! But nobody of cannabis. Illegal drugs open the door to
"dirty" drugs and crime.
Holland and Uruquai have a proven concept. The use of drugs is hard to prevent, therefore they allow
controlled delivery of relatively harmless drugs in licensed and controlled coffee-shop, from a certain age on.
On top of that, they can grow it by themselves, which generate good jobs and fix the THC content (who
strong the drug will be) itself. They don’t need to import anything! However, the death by alcohol
consumption are much higher! There were only 2 deaths worldwide through cannabis ever! Maybe cannabis
is the better and much less harmful drug? Is hemp the plant of the gods, as many claims because they plant
can be used in amazing divers way? At least in many religion hemp is mentioned very positively (Buddhism,
Hinduism, Islam (Sufism), Christianity (Coptic direction). The ban of hemp by USA was due to commercial
competition, that’s clear today! It is liberalized now in some states in US and the plantations are increasing a
lot. The cost of the drug cannabis is considerably lower than for many other drugs By the way, according to a
study by the US National Library of Medicine ", 70% said that cannabis had aphrodisiac effects and 80%
said they had better sex with it. But for aphrodisiac agents rare animals are killed sometimes!
People who consume cannabis are mostly peaceful and not aggressive people. Alcohol is not compatible to
our body, but cannabis is more compatible.
Uruquai made a database and fixed a monthly quantity of drugs. No foreigner can buy the drugs.
Take care! Cannabis and driving a car increases the risk of accidents by 20%-30%!
Regular use of cannabis can cause psychological damages; But many effects disappear after a while.
Nowadays the THC-content can be increased excessive and then “harmless” is relative. Therefore it might be
necessary to fix a maximal THC-content in the plant, to avoid serious consequences of cannabis-
consumption.
However, the release of hemp to teenagers should be avoided at all costs, because at this age it can still
cause great damage!
Take the drugs away from the Mafia! How the state could better protect young people from cannabis
Despite the ban, about twice as many teenagers and young adults smoke marijuana today as ten years ago.
Potent cannabis from the black market is not only available in the drug milieu, but almost everywhere, even
in schoolyards. That proves: that prohibition, which has been stubbornly promoted by all federal
governments, is nonsense. The drug-free society does not exist.
The important thing is not to prohibit drugs - but to deal with them in such a way that the damage to the
health of users is kept to a minimum. Therefore, the government should no longer leave the cultivation and
distribution of cannabis to the drug mafia. The state should ensure that legal companies produce the best
possible - and taxed - cannabis in the best possible way, which is sold in special shops. As with alcohol,
adults must be allowed to decide for themselves whether they want to consume it. Living in freedom also
means being able to light up a joint at home, even if the majority does not like it. Yes, some users become
dependent on cannabis. They need therapy, not stigmatization and prosecution by the judiciary. But the vast
majority of users - do not become addicted or otherwise conspicuous. It is therefore absurd and unfair to
criminalize these people.
The situation is different with young people. At their age cannabis has a particularly damaging effect on
the brain. Teenagers should not smoke marijuana and they deserve to be better protected from the drug than
they are now. Therefore, more intensive education of adolescents is necessary - and a drastic ban on giving
cannabis to minors, with drastic penalties. Source der SPIEGEL 51, 14.12.2019
Soy-beans or Palm-oil (3.6.18)
The mono-culture-plantation of cash-crops like soy-beans or Palm-oil threatens the soil, our basis for live
and food. The price for cash-crops cannot be influenced by the country, so the poeple depend very much on
the world-market-price. Most part of the soy-beans are used for to produce meat, but worldwide a trend
towards eating less meat is evident (we have to do it to survive!). On the other side palm oil is used for
„bio“-fuel, the most inefficient way to generate energy. Electric cars and solar energy are 400 times more
efficient / space (Tony Seba)! Worldwide a trend towards electic-cars is inevitable and we have to go that
way.
If a country uses the agricultural space for export, it dependens on import of food and can be menced by that.
Food
Good food is crucial for a healthy live and especially children need good food in specific times that the brain
can develop properly! Due to high processing of food nowadays, many people are malnourished, although
they eat a lot. Therefore, industrial food additives has been developed. But there is natural excellent Super-
food which could enrich the normal food a lot towards healthy food supply. Of course organic products are
the future for human and for a sustainable agriculture as well.
Healthy Super-food: Chia-Seed, leaves of the Moringa-tree, Himalaya-salt, Avocado, linseed oil, quinoa,
buckwheat, sauerkraut, broccoli. Acai berries, blackcurrants, red cabbage. We present an overview of healthy
food from a friend of Greece (thanks!) in an extra file at the Email-Provider We made a list of business-ideas.

Conservation of food: A lot of food spoils by not professional conservation. The Solar dryer is one solution
to preserve healthy food for a long time and very cheap. Can be used for fruits, herbs, spices, fish, meat and
many more. More about that we found in here: www.alternative-technology.de/Solar_Dryer/solar_dryer.html
Fishing. Wild fish resources might collapse by year 2050!
If we continue like that, the wild resources will collapse by year 2050 (Pew Environment Group and UN).
According to the World-fishing-report of the UN (FAO), 80 % of the resources are over-fished.
There are many alternatives for sustainable fishing, Norway is ahead. One is the certification and consulting
by MSC or similar labels.
In protected Fish-reservations the fish and ecosystem can recover. And even outside that area, there is much
more fishing possible, so fisher have a benefit, although they lost some fishing-space. And diving-tourism
can be another income! The fish realize, that they are protected and sometimes come very close!
Fascinating!

Sustainable agriculture
Food is a crucial issue for the future, because the area for production decreases whereas the world population
increases. Therefore, may be high quality food (organic) ensure a sustainable agriculture can bring good and
save income. According to a world-bank study best is organic food. Industrial agriculture seems to be not the
right way (problem of mono-culture etc.).

Energy
Energy is a serious topic, because we have energy in abundance, but we don’t use it. If we look the size of
the sun and of the Earth and solar energy / area, nobody can tell us, that the energy is not enough. Many wars
are based on energy-topics (the Near East). Countries like Paraguay sacrifice a great part of their country to
cultivate energy plants. Very dramatic because it is not a sustainable solution, it kills the soil from mono-
culture. And the trend is electric cars. If we harvest energy by Solar, less than 10 % of the Sahara will be
enough for the whole world! So energy shouldn’t be the problem, but some companies want to keep their
business-model and remove competition. The price for Solar cells dropped very much, that it is even more
cheap to get the energy from alternative resources than from traditional (like coal or nuclear etc). Storage is a
problem, but can be solved by smart grid and electric cars as mobile storage etc. In an extra document more
information about alternative energies.
Fracking and Bio-fuel (29.4.2019)
Fracking and using the soil for Bio-fuel is the biggest crime mankind committed on earth. Because
world population increases and the space to feed the world gets reduced! So hunger will be the consequence.
All plants contribute to reduce the CO2-Problem. Mono-culture as it is implemented for energy-plants
destroys the soil sustainable, the most precious resource we have. All live is coming from 18 cm of layer of
Humus. We have energy in abundance. There is so much gas available worldwide! Only solar and wind can
be enough for the whole world. Power to gas-technologies are available for storage. And there are new
technologies available like LENR, Vacuum-energy (0-point energy, Neutrino-Power), Magnet-Generators on
sale (Infinity SAV, South Korea, Muammar Yilmaz, Turkey etc), engines running by water by high efficient
conversion (Overunity!) of water to hydrogen direct in the engine (see extra document).
Alternative Energy-concepts and sustainable solutions
We all know that the climate-conference and the limitation of resources require a specific way of living to
ensure a good live for all and a sustainable development. There are very simple concepts to ensure
sustainable power-supplies by charging batteries and at the same time supply the grid if they are full and vice
versa (e.g. by Studer Extender etc). An intelligent Energy-Management (e.g. laundry and dish-washing only
in the daytime) can ensure reducing the energy-storage. Having scaled solutions as a mass-product could
ensure a business-model. Building a Solar-Home-system takes 1-2 days for professionals.
How to make an appropriate payment for the solar or wind-energy sold to the public? Most easy
might be to charge a fixed amount once for using the public cable to sell energy. And then if energy is going
to the public grid most of the energy-counters (the old black ones) go backwards and reduce the bill. For sure
it is possible to go below “0”, but that shouldn’t be the problem.
Big-size Solar-plants industrial. For sure the roof has to be able to bear the Solar-load including the
frames. Special techniques are available to ensure theft-protection. Industry consumes a lot of energy but
they have big not used roofs. And they use the energy in the daytime. But they can also balance the power-
grid by flexible making load shedding (switch off load if too high consumption) and load switch on (if there
is too much power in the grid).
Alternative energies generate considerable working places and workshops. And a lot of innovative
potential!

Transportation in the cities, why not with electric bikes?
Public transportation has a big impact on the worlds resources, climate, pollution in the cities and could be
more efficient and fast. Stop and go in the cities is highly inefficient and wastes the performance and time of
people. We have to keep in mind that in 90 % of the times the private cars are standing and not used. Car
sharing could increase the usage-times a lot.
In Germany and other countries more and more people are using electro-bicycles (“Pedelecs”) in the
cities. They are the most efficient transportation-medium with almost no impact on the climate. Using them
reduces the pollution in the cities a lot. There is more space for shops etc. because parking-places can be
reduced. They ensure fast and reliable transportation times. They are extreme flexible, always available, use
minimum space and people can drive direct to from the start-point to the destination. And they ensure sport
activities depending how much electrical support is used (that is flexible). And they ensure no perspiration if
people come in the office, which was often a killer-argument. If the batteries are empty it is still possible to
go with the bike a bit more slow in contrast to electric scooter. They are more simple in production and
excellent equipment is available. Maintenance is much less and more easy. They can be the battery-back-up
for solar system. The safety is higher than Motorcycle, because they are more slow. Concerning safety a
helmet can ensure that and maybe marked routes can ensure more safety. There are absolutely cool and high
technological bicycles are available and much more innovative then cars. Recycling of Lithium batteries is
possible. Workshops for building specific bikes can be setup very easy. China switched within a short time to
electrical scooters for the cities, respect! For sure a metro build above the normal street could be as well a
good alternative. Or bicycle-routes above or beside a normal road? With 4 lines? Covered with a transparent
roof? That would be a dream, one day reality? Very cool bicycle-bridge-construction:

What we can lean of Ecuador under President Raffael Correa? What means “good live”, friendly
authorities, reforestation, keep the country clean, avoiding fire in the forest. 5.8.2019
This is part of the constitution
1. Buen Vivir - good / dignified life.
2. Respect the rights of nature.
3. Water as human right.
4. Defending the people's sovereignty and the dignity of the peoples - Adapting the power structures.
5. Commitment to overcome poverty.
6. Recover of state sovereignty and functionality.
7. Prohibition to sell state property. Natural resources belong to the community.
8. Solidarity and cooperative economy
9. Debt audit (Ecuador is the only country that has carried out a debt audit).
10. Recognition of claims of non-remedied human labor.
11. Prohibition of outsourcing.
12. Limit the gap between lowest and highest salaries.
13. Control of finance to prevent crises
14. Participatory democracy.
15. Unlimited human mobility (universal citizenship).
16. Space of Peace (in the country).
17. Social investment.
18. People have priority over capital / finance
19. Solving internal conflicts by regional communities in dialogue.
This results in 4 categories, which could be an indicator for comprehensive development:
Income poverty: Decreased from 37.6 % in 2006 to 23.3 % in 2015. 1.5 million people came out of this
poverty level.
Poverty in consumption: Consumption less than $ 2.81 a day. The difference to income poverty is that this
measure determines real consumption, but income poverty is only available income. It fell from 38.2 % in
2006 to 25.8 % for 2014. This type of poverty escaped 1.3 million people.
Poverty due to unsatisfied basic needs: It includes the conditions of households (access to basic care, qual-
ity of buildings, school attendance and economic dependency). It decreased from 51.6 % to 32.9 % between
2005 and 2015.
The proportion of people in poverty according to the index of multi-dimensional poverty
Using twelve indicators from four areas based on the Buen Vivir rights on education; Work and social
security; Health, water and food; Habitat and healthy environment. It decreased from 51.5 % in 2009 to 35.0
% in 2015. This means that 1.9 million people emerged from this type of structural poverty.
More than 44,000 people came together to set the Guinness World Record for single-day reforestation ef-
forts. A group in Ecuador set a world record over the weekend by planting nearly 650,000 trees in a single

And the most plastic bottles recycled in one week was achieved by CIMA KIDS 2012 at Parque La Carolina,
Quito, Ecuador on 27 October 2012.
Friendly authorities
Ecuador implemented a project successfully for to promote friendly authorities.
Urban farming in one of the world's highest cities, the gardens of Quito
From farming on roof terraces to larger plots, urban gardens in Quito, Ecuador, are creating jobs and
improving food security.
Keep the country clean 9.8.2019
A good prepared action was implemented successfully to generate by media a consciousness for a clean
country. To get rid of the rubbish next to the streets was one goal. In the buses people are informed that
throwing litter out of the windows is not allowed etc. Rubbish bin had been implement where it was
necessary.
Incineration 9.8.2019
Incineration is a waste treatment process that involves the
combustion of waste materials.Incineration with energy recovery is
one of several waste-to-energy technologies such as gasification,
pyrolysis and anaerobic digestion. While incineration and
gasification technologies are similar in principle, the energy
produced from incineration is high-temperature heat whereas
combustible gas is often the main energy product from gasification.
Waste to Energy Incinerator (EfW). Waste to Energy is a renewable
energy solution. It can reduce the volume of waste to just 10% in
bottom ash for most scenarios.

Avoiding fire in the forest and fields 24.12.2019
By investigating the background and pattern why people make fire in the fields and forests.
Expanding that fire is not the right way to generate rain or to improve the fertility of the soil. Fire kills all
micro-organisms, which are crucial for good food and good harvest and few needs for fertilizer.
Using self-made Bio-char (Terra Preta, see online) could be an alternative for excellent fertilizers
By communicating the importance of the forest.
Detailed advice how to avoid fire in the forest and fields.
Preparing material which is compatible to the people education and traditional pattern (visual, films, maybe
songs, dancing with repeating some simple words “nature is our mother, we don’t harm her” etc).
Using all media including internet to communicate it.
High fines for making a fire which gets out of control and communicate the first cases in media.
By that measures and more the number of fire in the forest was reduced drastically in Ecuador and Turkey.
What we can learn of Russia? A peaceful multi-ethnically and multi-religious country
Russia is an amazing template for the complete planet! Russia is able to manage in a good way a multi-
ethnically and multi-religious country without serious problems. Even in difficult times (economic problems)
it remains stable! That means people base their satisfaction not only on the economical basis! Deep respect!
Integrating all ethnics in a country ensure the best basis for development, because conflicts absorb a lot of
energy.
Starting with President Wladimir Putin they implemented so many constructive reforms without violence in
such a short time! With tremendous positive results.
Russia organized a very constructive “forum of people” to let people and NGOs participate in the political
work by constructive impulses. And to ensure continuous input of people to the government, respect!
What we can learn of China? Fight against poverty, traditional medicine, security and more 29.5.2019
A lot, a lot, a lot! Above all it is the country with the greatest success in the fight against poverty.
According to estimates by the World Bank. From 1980 to 2010, almost 680 million people in China
were brought out of extreme poverty - that's 70 percent of the world's poor. By 2017, another 70
million people had been liberated from extreme poverty in China.
China is able to establish a high degree of safety and order in the entire country! Respect, respect!
One example is described in “Transportation in the cities”. China and the Netherlands are working
very well on that. In China “rent a bike” is very successful! Electric-bikes are perfect!
China has a long culture of traditional Chinese medicine, including Acupuncture etc. which could be
interesting for others, but needs to be adapted.
In 2005, the Chinese government completed the world's largest watershed restoration on the upper
banks of the Yellow River. They transformed an area of 35,000 square kilometers on the Loess
Plateau — rough-ly the area of Belgium — from dusty wasteland to a verdant agricultural center.

In spiritual aspects. The view that we are all on different path to the top of a mountain and on top we
will meet and we all have the same chef but different names. Religious diversity is a treasure of
mankind and respect and tolerance ensures a rich learning from each other.

What we can learn of Syria? Minister for National Reconciliation
Syria has a minister of Minister for National Reconciliation (Mr. Ali HAYDAR). Respect!
Syria (and Libya) was a multi-religious, secular country which worked pretty well! A crime to destroy that
treasure!
What we can learn of Malaysia? How to implement peace!
Amazing visions communicated by YAB Dato' Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad of Malaysia
We should be a developed country in our own mould. Malaysia should not be developed only in the eco-
nomic sense. It must be a nation that is fully developed along all the dimensions: economically, politically,
socially, spiritually, psychologically and culturally. We must be fully developed in terms of national unity
and social cohesion, in terms of our economy, in terms of social justice, political stability, system of govern-
ment, quality of life, social and spiritual values, national pride and confidence.
And a very good statement to ensure a peaceful world, thank you so much!
To achieve peace we now declare that:
Wars increasingly involve the killing of innocent people and are, therefore, abhorrent and criminal.
Killings in war are as criminal as the killings within societies in times of peace.
Since killings in peace time are subject to the domestic law of crime, killings in war must likewise be
subject to the international law of crimes. This should be so irrespective of whether these killings in
war are authorized or permitted by domestic law.
All commercial, financial, industrial and scientific activities that aid and abet war should be
criminalised.
All national leaders who initiate aggression must be subjected to the jurisdiction of the International
Criminal Court.
All nations must strengthen the resolve to accept the purposes and principles of the United Nations
Charter and institute methods to settle international disputes by peaceful means and to renounce war.
Armed force shall not be used except when authorised by a Resolution passed by two-thirds majority
of the total membership of the General Assembly of the United Nations.
All legislators and all members of Government must affirm their belief in peace and pledge to strive
for peace.
Political parties all over the world must include peace as one of their principal objectives.
Non-Governmental Organisations committed to the promotion of peace should be set up in all
nations.
Public servants and professionals, in particular in the medical, legal, educational and scientific fields,
must promote peace and campaign actively against war.
The media must actively oppose war and the incitement to war and consciously promote the peaceful
settlement of international disputes.
Entertainment media must cease to glorify war and violence and should instead cultivate the ethos of
peace.
All religious leaders must condemn war and promote peace.
What we can learn of Cambodia? Off-shore houses including fish-production.
They have houses for the family in the sea and below the house they make fish-farming in a big fisher-net.
They can feed and harvest them direct from the house.
What we can learn of Brazil? Zero-hunger-program, how to bring people out of poverty
In 2003, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the former Brazilian President, had launched a zero-hunger program,
which helped 28 million people out of poverty within two years.
Lula says that one should not consider poverty control as an expenditure but as a worthy investment. "In
Brazil, it has proved to be a stimulus for economic growth as the poor have turned into consumers," he said.
Brazil currently buys 30 % of the agricultural products required for school meals by small farmers. The
country with the fastest growing middle class in Latin America is spending a total of 500 million US dollars
a year. Twelve billion dollars are paid directly to the farmers by the South American country to help them es-
cape poverty.
Overcoming hunger is not only a moral imperative, but "a decision for economic development with high so-
cial inclusion". In Brazil, the creation of formal jobs, the increase in minimum salaries, the strengthening of
small-scale farmers and the implementation of money-transfer programs linked to certain conditions has
pushed back hunger "assured Tereza Campello.
What we can learn of Bhutan? Satisfaction as a goal
The Kingdom defined satisfaction of people and happiness as a constitutional goal.
What we can learn of Slovakia? The privatization of water is forbidden!
The privatization of water is forbidden by law! Water should be a fundamental right of all human!
What we can learn of Sweden? How to generate justice, happiness and sustainable live?
The country would like to take into account all people and areas of life in the development of social
prosperity. Satisfaction with life depend also from social justice and not too extreme contradictions.
Therefore Joseph Stiglitz proposes to focus on fair income! Sometimes interventions in the
redistribution of prosperity are necessary - precisely to stimulate economic growth.
The five environmental indicators are: air quality, water quality, nature conservation, chemical
pollution, CO2 emissions.
The five social indicators are: poverty, health, education, interpersonal trust, satisfaction with life.
Other important indicators: happiness, life expectancy, equality, prosperity or education
Excessive meat-consumption is a crucial issue concerning the climate-change and human health.
Sweden is planning to make an extra tax on meat to ensure less but good quality consumption.
What we can learn of France? A law against the waste of food, convert Mono-cultures to Forest-fields
It was the first country making a law against the waste of food. Retail trade shops, canteens and
hospitals donate their rest-food to appropriate organizations. And they get sponsoring by the
government for that.
France was the first country in the world, to require as well of subcontractors social, human and
ecological basic standards.
France is excellent to convert Mono-cultures back to Forest-fields with a high diversity
What we can learn of England? Bring farming to the cities
By the “Transition Town Movement” (see online), people bring farming to the cities for food
production, called urban farming.
They have an excellent law to protect Whistle-Blowers.
What we can learn of Cuba? Living modest, lucky and high creative, urban farming
Since long Cuba is active and successful in Urban farming and Agriculture ecology. 70 % of the
vegetable and fruits they consume in the city they do by themselves in Organic quality.
Cuba might be template how we can all live sustainable on the planet Earth, modest, lucky and
creative! There is so much happiness and music in the air, so much human dignity and education, so
much specific culture and pride, combined with a modest and sustainable way of living! It shows
that living happy, modest and sustainable is possible. Cuba has an excellent medical health system
and people are well-educated. They support worldwide, when there is a catastrophe. Although they
are not rich, all has enough to eat, organized by the government! What a proud nation! Why there are
no more such countries? A treasure of mankind!
Cuba has little violence, people live very save.
People fear now, that they replace their culture by consuming products.
The country has a very bad Internet. They established a service to provide all the countries by USB-
Sticks with content from the Internet like music, movies, Ebooks, Programs, educational material
etc.
What we can learn of the Islands El Hierro, Graciosa and Pellworm? Energy-autonomy
They supply their energy almost autonomous by Solar-energy, wind-power, hydro-power and generator (if
not sufficient energy available) and Lithium-Batteries (short-term storage) and Redox-flow-Batteries (long
term storage). For sure an energy-management optimizes the system.
What we can learn of Greece? Social cooperatives
In critical time new solutions are necessary and Greece founded massive social cooperatives, as well
concerning services and health.
What the world can learn of Denmark? A system for mobility
In Copenhagen, they have an excellent system for mobility in the city including public-transfer, bicycles etc.
What we can learn of Switzerland? Public transportation, direct political feed-backs
They have a perfect public transportation-system with a very high degree of usage.
They have a very good system for direct political feed-backs of the people for political decisions. Prior
online discussions (and feedback?) can ensure better results.
They have a very good system of local currency (“Wir”) complementary to the national currency and it
works excellent and supports local workshops and trade. They charge no interest!
What we can learn of Norway? Sustainable fish farming
Norway has a very good system of sustainable fish farming reducing the antibiotics etc. drastically.
What we can learn of the Netherlands? Cities on water, driving bicycle, mealworm-food ...18.4.2019
The Netherlands
have few space on
land but the ocean is
close. They already
succeeded to convert
the sea to land. Now
they build
swimming cities on
the water. The
feeling is sometime
like on a ship, but
they look very nice!

Cities are often seriously threatened by too many cars. People loose time in stop and go traffic. Holland has
an excellent system to motivate for driving bicycle. There are excellent electric bikes for cities with
mountains. Establishing a good infrastructure for driving safe bicycle is an investment in the future.
In Amsterdam and elsewhere they have excellent houses build in the water, using the sea for living.
In the Netherlands they produce very professional good food from insects, especially from the mealworm.
This is a perfect replacement for meat as it contains proteins etc. If world-wide we follow that example, we
would protect our planet a lot. Producing of food needs extreme resources and is not that healthy for human.
What we can learn of Vietnam? Common welfare is prior
A lot, a lot! The country was able to rebuild all after the cruel Vietnam war, which destroyed so much. They
build it up in such an amazing way with few external support and few external funding only by busy and
modest people. The strong middle class, the order even in big cities, very few desperate people and the very
high educated, cultural and quality standard in all what Vietnam is doing generates a lot of respect.
Although many big companies are owned by the government (which makes the government strong!), they
are very efficient, very modern and generate a lot of profit. How they manage that? They ensure that in one
branch there are several companies with the same product but in competition. It works fine!
Motivating the army to contribute to the common welfare, Vietnam as template (14.7.2018)
Every country needs an army for defense. But these young people often feeling boring in this time, because
there is not so much to do. We harvest a lot from our country, peace, a good education-system, a mobility
infrastructure, social security, save water supply, electricity and waste-management. To get the
consciousness and show the gratitude that nothing is natural, maybe all can contribute for a certain time to
the common welfare. Maybe helping to take care of cultural heritages or elderly people or improving the
infrastructure, water pipelines etc. Vietnam motivates the military soldiers successful to work for the
common welfare. It saves a lot of money for the government and helps the young generation to develop
themselves and to get more resilient. In Thailand young people go as well in the monastery for a certain time
to get human and spiritual impulses of the elderly and experienced generation. Getting adult is a difficult
process!
Business-Impulse: Organizing jobs for the army, manage security and transportation, catering,
accommodation etc.
What we can learn of Argentina? Renovation of houses
The artist Benito Martin organized in Buenos Aires a very nice painting of the houses (search benito martin
buenos aires el caminito at google pictures). A good looking of buildings makes a city look beautiful and feel
well. Benito Martin was able to motivate the people who live there to join a renovation-program. Russia has
some experience as well. Maybe by sponsoring a little bit and supplying professional craftsmen who can
integrate the people in the bulk-work? Maybe a contest for the best one? Or like a festival?
What we can learn of Mexico? Making the city green and clean the air! (11.4.2018)
AurovMexico has found a beautiful way to clean its polluted air (search this): They make vertical gardening
throughout the city in an amazing way! Respect! Looks very nice and is very useful to clean the air!

What we can learn of Italy? Refugees on the country-side could be a success-story (6.1.2018)
Mayor Domenico Lucano of Riace / Italy and his community are internationally recognized as a symbol of
integration and tolerance. Riace hosted people from Afghanistan, Eritrea and Iraq and placed them in empty
houses. The school was reopened, new shops and studios opened by refugees and residents attracted tourists.
The village, threatened by emigration, awakened to new life. Unfortunately, the successful project is now
being sabotaged!
What we can learn of New Zealand, police only with a Taser and pepper-spray (18.3.2019)
The police is equipped only with a Taser and pepper-spray, but no other weapons. Weapons have the risk to
kill somebody or hurt seriously but that is not the goal. He is necessary for later investigation of the case.
What we can learn of Mauretania (7.6.2019)
Woman started a project based on Microcredit to dry fish and they sell the Fisch and Fish-Oil as well in the
capital. 3 times as much profit with dried fish like selling it directly is generated! They feel deep
happiness because of that success.
What we can learn of Japan 7.6.2019
In Japan they make one plastic collection action every year with young people on an Island. In 2 days 120
trucks of plastic is collected. And the beach looks amazing after that.
What we can learn of Egypt 29.8.2019
In Cairo many people are living in simple houses on top of other houses in a social environment like in the
village. A good community takes place. They pay few rent and use the water and toilette-system of the
house.
What we can learn of Germany? Dual system for apprentices, reuse rest waste, lobby-register,
Democracy-App
Concerning education German has the dual system for apprentices (mixed practical work and school)
and the University and Polytechnic (institute of technology). That ensure to provide skilled and good
specialized people for the industry, business, social and many more who are not so expensive but well
prepared for the specific demand. Because they make a lot of practice and it is really a success-story in
Germany. Many people find a good job who graduated the Polytechnic. The content is more adapted to
the real demand.
A lot of food of the Super-markets is thrown away food due to not being able to sell it until the proper
time. A well organized group transfers this (still good!) food for free to people in need. It works fine and
also a win-Situation for the Super-market!
Germany has a lobby-register to get more transparency who is visiting the government.
Germany has a sophisticated system of separation of waste and individual recycling. It works fine!
Soil is our most precious resource we have. In Germany there are “soil-markets” selling good soil made
of organic material people bring there (waste of the gardens etc).
For to support alternative energies, Germany released a very successful law (EEG) which had been
adapted by many countries. And it was the trigger for many projects!
In the cities Germany installs glass-boxes where people can put their old book or other things which they
don’t need anymore. So everybody can take for free what he / she needs and put as well items we don’t
need anymore. So we are coming more close to a circular-system.
In Germany there had been two chemist drugstores, one focused extreme on profit, the other tried a
balance of focus on the satisfaction of the people including employees and profit. The first one lost and
finish the business completely!
Democracy-App: An App where people can decide about new governments topics and give comments
and feedbacks. It is not binding but a good feedback to support the government and have fast and cheap
feedback about the people’s opinion.
What we can learn of Ruanda? The power and success of woman, concepts to avoid ethnic conflicts.
Social tensions erupted in the 1994 genocide, in which Hutu extremists killed numerous Tutsi. To avoid that
ethnic conflict, the country made a law with the effect that people don‘t know who is Hutu and who is Tutsi.
It is not in the passport etc. They live now very peaceful together!
On the other side woman play a very important role now concern economics and politics with great success.
The country has a very high development rate!
What can we learn from Kenya? A village only for women who have been victims of violence
20.10.2019
In Kenya there is a village only for women who have been raped, often by foreign army personnel (650 since
1965). No one was convicted! When they told this to their husband, they were sometimes beaten almost to
death for it. Then they left the village and founded their own new village, where now only women live.
There they find peace and new vitality and contentment.
What we can learn of Religion? Get rid of internal emptiness, a constructive live 19.5.2019
Since ever religion was a valuable contribution for advices, how people can live together. But more that that,
if gives people hope, internal peace and a sense of life for live.
The feeling of charity is within human, not only religious people live that. They are smart to realize that by
that, development for themselves is possible as well.
If somebody is falling in love, he will experience tremendous energy. Religious people feel this kind of love
to the creature of the world (they say that), that they can get unlimited energy. So it is clever somehow.
The ceremony in the Temples and Churches give the people the feeling of community and being united.
Scientific
people in GB discovered that and consider it as highly intelligent pattern. So they make ceremonies
now, similar to that but without a specific religion. Here some examples from different religions
What we can learn of the Islam (example Bahai-religion)
According to the belief of the Bahai, man is closest to God of all creation, because he was endowed with free
will, reason, an immortal soul and the ability to recognize God and make a alliance with Him. Life is seen as
a continuous mystical journey to God. Heaven and hell correlate with proximity or distance to God. Man can
attain a certain "unity" with God already during his lifetime. Life in this world is destined to develop spiritual
abilities that are needed for life in the hereafter. Spiritual abilities are virtues such as charity, gratitude,
trustworthiness, trust in God, humility and patience. Hard asceticism and withdrawal from the world are
rejected
just as much as a hedonistic life in abundance. The "right measure" is crucial and service to the whole
human race, the criterion of true humanity. Social commitment and social responsibility, the active shaping
of the world, are regarded as natural consequences of individual spirituality and cannot be separated from it.
Human mind / reason is very importance, even if it alone can mislead. The essence of human is his immortal
soul, which bears no separating characteristics of race or sex. The body is called the temple of human, which
needs appreciation / esteem as well.
What we can learn of the Jewish religion
Is a Source of genius impulses to advice human.
The Lord says, "I hate your... burnt offerings and meat offerings... Law and justice should fill the land like a
river that never dries up”. Amos 5,21-27
The Lord said: Revenge is mine; I will repay. 5.Mose 32:35. So we don’t need to worry about that!
What we can learn of the Christian religion
In the Christian religion, the relation to Jesus is crucial as source of happiness, energy and hope.
Love is the basic element. 1Cor. 13, 3: And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender
my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing. Love is patient, love is kind and is not
jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not
provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with
the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Justice, Peace, beware of the creation (nature) as basic elements. Beside that humility and mercy and
community
are crucial elements.
But charity is a big topic: Hebr 13,16 Do not forget to do good and to share with others;
Ephesians 2, 10: We are all together God's work of art, created in Jesus Christ, to create good deeds.
(Matthew 25, 35.36.40) For I was hungry and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty and you gave me to drink; I
was a migrant and a stranger and you welcomed me; I was naked and you clothed me; I was sick and you
visited me; I was in prison and you came to me. Truly I say to you: What you did to one of these of my
brothers and sisters, you did to me.
Celebrating the religion together and individual is part of religious live.
What we can learn of the Buddhism
Is a symbol for peace and constructive living together. There is a high culture of learning in communities a
constructive live. Living in Peace and harmony is realized and the world can learn a lot from that. A deep
wisdom is waiting to be discovered
What we can learn of the Hinduism
Meditation and Yoga are elements that contribute a lot to a peaceful and relaxed live. Thank for that precious
elements to the world culture!
Sorry, these are only tiny fragments, reflecting just little of the cosmos of religions. It will be extended!
What we can learn of Karl Marx? (24.7.2018)
For Marx, the difference between a way of working that serves "capital" and the multiplication of profit and
one that serves human is as total as the difference between life and death, man and thing, having and being.
For Karl Marx, capital is the accumulated, the past and ultimately the dead. But the living shall reign over
the dead, being over having.
For Marx, not alienated work is the basic for human freedom and independence and an act of "self-creation".
Only when I undergo the effort to express myself do I become human.
My dignity as a human being is constantly violated by directing my basic needs for good relations,
communion, appreciation and happiness towards consumption.
Through my "free, conscious activity", through work which is "life-producing life", I become a unique
expression of life.
Love can only be exchanged for love, trust only for trust. If your expression of life as a loving person does
not make you a loved one, your love is powerless. A text / statement etc. should be an expression of my real,
individual life and my liveliness, and "stimulating and beneficial" to other people. If you want to influence
others, you must be a truly stimulating and beneficial person to others.
Human can only thrive with nature and as nature. My body connects me with nature as my "organic body". I
use oxygen, water and food, which transforms the metabolism into the body's own substance. The carbon
dioxide I exhale serves the plants to grow, to produce their own body substance. If I wanted to hold the
material, make it to my property - if I wanted to stop sharing and exchanging with others - that would be my
death. The exchange with the world is transformation in reciprocity. We develop and progress through
others! My liveliness guarantees the liveliness of others, my fellow world and vice versa. This "active
relationship between man and the world" is what Marx calls "productive life". To be productive means to
grasp the world and to recreate it through one's own creative powers, to make it more alive. In spiritual
exchange with you, we both transform. Because life and being alive is a gift in itself, it cannot be sold. It can
only be given away. Then it remains effective and becomes fertile for all.
In the "unexplored possibilities" of each individual and of all humanity lies the creative potential of mankind.
Karl Marx's way of thinking (dialectically) does not separate the world, it remains united. The
"understanding of the context" is essential. In the ongoing creative process of bringing all together, alienation
can be overcome.
(based on an article of Margit Geilenbrügge “serving the live” in www.rubikon.news 27.6.2018)
More statements of Karl Marx
Money is the alienated nature of man's work and existence, and this Alien dominates him and he
worships it.
A person's real wealth is the wealth of his real relationships.
Every step of real movement is more important than a dozen of programs.
Work is the fire of composition and design.
People who subjugate others forge their own chains.
Revolution: jerky follow-up to prevented development.
Karl Marx was right
Concerning the concentration of money and power in few hands with very negative consequences
for all. According to the Oxfam-report 8 people (6 American) have as much as 3.7 billion, half of
mankind. The market collapses and all are loser.
To ensure the balance of power, trade unions, work committees had been successfully established
national.
But the exploitation takes place now international. The strong countries make the laws and
dominate the weak countries, as well by finance.
The ideas of Karl Marx inspired the Social-democrats a lot and many actions followed.
Central Europe tried a compromise by the social market economy (Germany, Sweden etc).
The genius analysis of social development followed strange practical proposals
Critics
Many people in the western (rich) countries don’t feel alienated. Maybe they are but they don’t
realize that. But alienation happens international now!
Live teaches us, all extreme is not good! So extreme communism and capitalism as well?
Maybe the middle way, the best of both ideologies might ensure a good balance?
Maybe the biggest fault was to make an ideology from it, the communism. That makes it inflexible
to adapt to the reality and changes.
Depending on the status of a nation, maybe different dynamic concepts are necessary and a good
feedback-system. Free media and free people (maybe by Internet-feedback) can ensure that
necessary feedback-system. Often it was not the case.
Transparency in the government work can ensure constructive support, but often it was not like that.
Competition on all level ensures development, but often it was not like that.
Often the idea was more important than human and cruel mass-murdering followed. But for sure that
was not the ambition of Karl Marx!
Bringing the less-educated in leading position and condemn the intellectual had been the poison that
was somehow mixed with this ideology.
Why he condemned religion which is part of the culture and identification of the people? This was
maybe the major fault. Internal emptiness and hopelessness took place. But in South America the
combination of religion and socialism took place, the theology of liberalization.
A part of human is egoism and the capitalistic system uses “this energy” much better for the benefit
of all than the communism. But Russia, China and Vietnam learned from that!
If we study the bees, we see that part of the individual live is egoism, another part his working for
the community (by collecting food for others) and another part to work for the overall system, by
pollinating the plants. Neo-Liberalism works mainly on the first level, egoism, communism works
mainly on the second level, community. Both are weak in the third level, protecting the world. But in
China environmental-friendly actions are much faster implemented than in the western countries.
People who work for their own business, generate a lot of energy and compassion to push the
company ahead. This energy can be a benefit for the common welfare is well. This potential is not
used in the classic communism.
Why people of the working class should govern a country if they have no experience about that
complex work?
Why this enmity against the intellectual? Engineers ensure a lot of working-places etc.
Why not small and medium-size private companies? They have more dynamic and motivation. It
seems that the poison in the capitalistic-system are the international powerful companies, especially
if they are missing moral.
Why the consequences had been to socialize all?
Why no tolerance to other way of thinking and other concepts?
Why so strict about the implementation?
Thomas Staedtler (Germany) made a nice comparison between Socialism and Capitalism!
Socialism: You'll all get enough, Capitalism: You'll never get enough
Socialism you will get everything you need. Capitalism you're gonna need everything you get.
In socialism, the state eliminates competition. In capitalism, the concern do that
Socialism was a good system that disappeared because of its simplicity.
Capitalism is a bad system that survives because of its diversity.
Socialism was an attempt to eliminate the misery of the world.
Capitalism is an attempt to make money out of it to alleviate it.
Socialism promised work and prosperity for all. Work for all was reality .
Capitalism promised prosperity for all, but prosperity for all who could afford it, and work for less
and less.
In socialism, you get a gift when you are poor. In capitalism, when you have everything.
Socialism promoted community, capitalism promoted individuality.
In socialism people had been forced by plans, in capitalism motivated by goals
Socialism was the dictatorship of the proletariat, capitalism that of the "moneytariat" (dictator of
money).
Socialism missed flexibility, capitalism honest stubbornness.
Socialism believes in the good, capitalism in the bonus (extra payment)
Socialism lacks entrepreneurship.
Capitalism has not realized that high salaries for managers do not generate good entrepreneurs.
Socialism is a good system that cannot handle mistakes in a good way.
Capitalism is a bad system that is good at dealing with mistakes.
Socialism get lost when it wanted to produce more than capitalism.
Capitalism get lost when the financial system began to produce more products than its economy
Socialism was the meagre implementation of a great theory.
Capitalism is the dynamic implementation of no theory at all
Socialism is boring as a mistress, good as a mother. Capitalism is good as a lover but not as a mother
There was a dominant ideology in socialism. Capitalism has the ideology of the rulers
Work is the socialist fetish, achievement / performance of the capitalist.
Socialism has the truth, capitalism has the realism.
Socialism has learned much from capitalism, capitalism too little from socialism.
Capitalism would be successful if it would read Marx and Ludwig Erhard again.
Socialism will be successful if it also able to absorb the Marx Brothers
The favorite game of the capitalists: try if something works.
The favorite game of the Socialists: explain why something does not work or I will not work.
At one point capitalism has understood Marx: it is not just a matter of interpreting the world, but of
changing it.
The socialist loves to explain, the capitalism loves audience
The socialist has the right consciousness, the capitalist the right self-confidence.
The socialist knows that being determines consciousness.
Capitalism knows that appearances determine self-confidence.
Socialism was economical, normal and a bit strange.
In capitalism stinginess and senseless waste is cool and sense-full, madness normal and being normal
peculiar.
In socialism, the affordable was often not available.
In capitalism, for some the expensive goods converted to be consumer goods and for others
consumer goods became too expensive.
Socialism realized too late that oppression is uneconomic.
Capitalism will find out too late: Exploitation is uneconomic.
Socialism had an uneconomic moral.
Capitalism ignores that there is nothing more economic than morality
Socialism realized too late that economy is the basis of justice.
Capitalism ignores the fact that justice is the basis for economy.
Socialism had not understood that a society with justice must be very creative.
Capitalism does not understand that only a society with justice will remain creative.
Summarize
The main faults of the Socialism at the end: too theoretically, too many comments instead of
pragmatical approaches, no reliable feedback-system, too much dictatorship behavior, not enough
experienced politician.
The main faults of the capitalism are the liberalization of Banks, ignoring the injustice, arrogance
against the poor, not learning from Socialism, it is never enough!
For too long, capitalism could suggest visions through fusion of companies.
Too many believed in capitalism that money is better than workers. And the money works best
without the workers.
Capitalism has made it too easy for many criminal managers, and not only the best criminals remain.
Too many believed in capitalism that the poor must not only be poor, but also made guilty and
ridiculous.
What could be sustainable concepts?
The social (ecological) market-economy has proven to be a stable system.
Trade unions and others on world-level could work for more justice.
The economy for the common good (see online) be a stable system.
Gradido presented a healthy finance-system for the benefit of all.
Protecting the environment, our basis for live, has to be a major topic in the future.
“Give people land and they re-cultivate the nature and share their live in a high-dynamic way”
In South-West India a “future-village” named “Auroville” has been established in a
previously uncultivated land. Now everything is green and a very high creativity takes place. An
open-minded spiritual leader helped in the beginning to bring all together. Not all went without
problems and the Indian government had to support for some time. But it is a wonderful international
community now in a beautiful re-cultivated land. These communities could serve for people with
drug-problems to recover. Or to integrate (physical, mentally) handicapped people in an “open
community”. It could be a soft way to reintegrate people in the work-live. This could be an option
for refugees as well (“new Aleppo”). Maybe as agricultural design “Perma-culture” could be a
highly productive but labor-intense tool. Common facilities (public kitchen, shops, common
professional workshops, sport-facilities etc) increase the efficiency and free time for creative works.
The government could off the land for a good price and be consultant. We learn from each other.
The more different people are together and share, the more we lean.
Example from Italy
Mayor Domenico Lucano and his community are internationally recognized as a symbol of
integration and tolerance. Riace hosted people from Afghanistan, Eritrea and Iraq and placed them in
empty houses. The school was reopened, new shops and studios opened by refugees and residents
attracted tourists. The village, threatened by emigration, awakened to new life. Unfortunately, the
successful project is now being sabotaged.
In many countries, more and more people, especially refugees live in the cities and people in the
small villages get old and the young generation is missing. Shops are closed and all that makes it less
attractive to live there. But the cities collapse and for some people the life in tough in the city!
People on the countryside develop in some aspects positive character-trait. And we say for a good
development of a child a complete village is necessary! More and more houses in the villages are not
used anymore and break down. How to bring people back to the villages? Maybe motivating groups
to migrate there and to live as a community? Maybe for specific ethnics as well.
Few migrants don’t like to migrate to the country-side, but big groups maybe are more motivated?
The nature heals! There are better long term results for criminals, drug-victims on that kind of
projects like being imprisoned.
Target-groups: Migrants, drug-abuse-victims, old people, people who need re-socialization, Ex-
criminals, single-parents, people with focus on alternative energies, alternative agriculture,
alternative ways of living together, working on future technologies etc.
Motivating people in the villages to allow foreigners to come: to convince them, that they help when
they are old or already now when they need support, so a win/win-situation can take place.
Business-opportunities: offer Seminar for specific topics, Yoga, Meditation-Seminars, about
Agriculture, offer as volunteer to share the live, selling organic food, selling good soil etc. offer to
make vacancies. offering tours on nature etc.
Hemp is an amazing plant for many purposes (see extra info in “agricultural” document) and
cultivating that could motivate young people to join the project!

The New Village, a book concerning new rural communities
Living diversity, producing locally, cooperating with nature and neighbors by Ralf Otterpohl (Germany).
Hundred mini-farms produce high-quality food and upgrade the soil, small busi-nesses produce a wide range
of goods, cultural and educational institutions supply the population, tourism enlivens the place - all in the
area of a single farm! New villages enable good living, a self-determined life, contribute to the sustainable
supply of the cities. Thus, not only the »good life« becomes possible for the individual: humus build-up,
permaculture and ecological production and also support a balanced climate. The "New Village" is a creative
synthesis of the advantages of the city and the countryside, showing alternatives to anonymous life in the big
cities and alienating wage-dependent work.

Reusing plastic can generate a circular system (11.4.2018)
From oil numerous plastic-products can be produced easily and fast. Doors, windows, fence, chair, tables
and many more. With 3-D-printers it is even more easy and cheap, to produce locally the material and
products, and trans portion is reduced. If we recycle the waste professional, we could generate a circular
system. The proposals of Michael Braungart Cradle to Cradle® can serve that process.
Michael Braungart Cradle to Cradle®
Michael Braungart wants to develop products and production processes, which eliminate waste. The products
he develops must be completely safe for both people and the environment. Additionally, people and the
products they manufacture and use will be useful for other processes. These products work in close loops, in
nutrient circles, so that there won't be any waste at all, but only useful resources. The practicality of this idea
is demonstrated by several hundred products all over the world. 'Reduce, reuse, recycle' urge
environmentalists; in other words, do more with less in order to minimize damage. How products can be
designed from the outset so that, after their useful lives, they will provide nourishment for something new -
continually circulating as pure and viable materials within a 'cradle to cradle'- model.

Sustainable agriculture, Perma-culture in combination with Terra Preta
There is an extra document concerning that. The soil, our basis for live, is seriously in danger due to over
usage and not sustainable solutions. Permaculture in combination with Terra Preta could be one solution to
have a very high output on a specific area and to ensure sustainability of the humus-layer and even to build it
up. 100 square meter can feed 4 persons in that way. e.g. with diluted Urine (1:10) 300 square-meter can be
fertilized. Ash can be used to ensure Kali for the soil, For the correct dosing and mixing ratio see online.
Sources: Book: Ralf Otterpohl “das neue Dorf”; Ute Scheub: Terra Preta, “Miracle water village”.
Mixing of fields and hedges ensure a balanced agriculture with necessary space for useful animals.
One example: Start-up Permagold. http://www.taz.de/Genossenschaft-fuer-Oekolandbau/!5468900/
Reforestation
Reforestation ensures more rainfall in a specific area. About 60 % of the rain we have is generated only by
trees! Here we found something about reforestation, but there is much more available online.
www.alternative-technology.de/Reforestation/reforestation.html
Future aspects
Overcoming poverty is the most important moral imperative of the planet; Poverty is not the fruit of lack
of resources or lack of natural factors, but of unjust, exclusive systems, it is the fruit of the dominant
power structures.
Nuclear-weapons have to be removed from the planet, there is no winner! But there is are excellent ac
The finance-system should serve human and not the opposite. Online alternatives might be the future.
The military industry may not be too powerful and influence politicians.
It needs more variety in the products!
Music and Art should not be sold like “cheap stuff”! But at least with the music it is like that at the
moment. We need international regulations to ensure good income for the real hard work art musician
and artist.
Cooperation and symbiosis should be the future
We need a planetary civil society. People can change a lot if they have the opportunity.
Perspectives
We have amazing knowledge available for everybody, global communication and numerous tools and
technology to design a good future! We have amazing new technologies of feeding the world e.g. the
new Aquaponic-technology to cultivate fish and vegetable simultaneously, maybe offshore (with old
ships?). Vertical farming offers very interesting new possibilities of farming in small space. But also
Permaculture, Aeroponics, Biochar, Folkewall, Foodscaping, Horticulture, Hydroponics and Urban
agriculture can open new perspectives for a sustainable efficient agriculture. According to calculations
the energy of less than 10 % of the Sahara with solar is enough for the whole world! Grey-water
recycling and water-free toilets are well developed technology for using less water. Reusing of things
and efficiency might be some more of many keys to a sustainable future.
These films can open the eyes!
An interesting and honest Film of Foster Gamble about the “hidden Agenda of the world” and
solutions search for “THRIVE” (Trailer available). The first part is a bit strange, but starting from
41:00 very interesting. A very good interview searches for “Reality check on the New World Order”.
Topics concerning food are communicated in the excellent film “Hope for all” of Nina Messinger.
Solutions are communicated in the excellent film “Tomorrow”.
The excellent film “Zeitgeist” about our actual crisis and many more aspects inspired me a lot.
Available online for free). More than 100 million people watched it!
We feed the world is a film about the background and production of food
4TH REVOLUTION is an excellent film concerning energy-alternatives
An Inconvenient Truth by Davis Guggenheim is an amazing film about the climate change and the
consequences
Human by Yann Arthus-Bertrand presents us people and their hope and desperation, excellent!
Reliable information sources
We believe in the power of truth! May be that is a way to progress without escalation?
Our media is full of propaganda! We have to keep in mind that “conspiracy-theory” was coming from the
secret services after the killing of Kennedy.
More truth is nowadays online available, a big chance! We have to keep in mind that most of the wars had
been based on many lies. The Tonkin-lie to justify the Vietnam-war generated 3 million killed people! Here
some honest English sources.

Food is a crucial issue for the future, because the area for production decreases whereas the world population
increases. Therefore, may be high quality food (organic) ensure a sustainable agriculture can bring good and
save income. According to a world-bank study best is organic food. Industrial agriculture seems to be not the
right way (problem of mono-culture etc.).

Erasmus of Rotterdam (1515 in Querela Pacis)
Sweet the war to the inexperienced. Only human nature is created naked, tender, weak and defence-
less.
So when you first look at the appearance and shape of the human body, you realize immediately that nature
made a being not for war but for friendship, not for destruction but for salvation, not for violence, but for
charity. Each of the other beings nature provided them with their own weapons: the aggressiveness of the
bulls, they are equipped with horns, the lions with claws and others species with poison as a weapon. Only
human is created naked, weak, tender, defenceless, with soft flesh and smooth skin. The nature gave him
kind eyes as a mirror of the soul. She gave him flexible arms to embrace. She gave him the sensation of the
kiss, thereby touching the souls and be just as united. Only him she shared the laughter as an expression of
cheerfulness. His tears are a symbol of gentleness and compassion. Not only that, the nature alone gave him
the use of speech and intellect, which is certainly particularly likely to win friendliness and to promote it. So
anything between human should be handled without physical violence.
Visions for a new time….
A time in which the focus is on human and not on money or profit. A
time where culture and beauty and personal relationships are main
issues.
A time with respect for human beings, culture and religion, irrespective if a country is developed or not.
A time in which politicians understand that they write history if they focus on the well-being of the majority
of the people and not on having the maximum power or to on serving certain strong lobby groups.
A time where we have the main focus on the non-privileged people and the middle-class. Where there are so-
cial systems that respect and support the non-privileged people so that they don’t become criminals or terror-
ists.
A time in which the capital-flow is mainly to the people who need it, because that keeps the economy run-
ning.
A time when we don’t make trade agreements to the detriment of the non-privileged, but to their benefits.
A time when the surplus money is not used to speculate, but to take responsibility for the people who are in
need. Because the privileged are not privileged for a long time if they do not care for the non-privileged.
A time where you do not think how to keep other nations down, for example by revolutions, but how we can
mutually enrich each other regarding culture, religion and economics.
A time when revolutions are not triggered and supported from external groups, for a regime-change and
often after that, you have a chaos. A change in the country is the responsibility of a nation itself!
A time where precious words like „democracy“, „freedom” or “aid” are not misused just to trigger a “regime
change”.
A time when states are not isolated, because they make something “not correct”. But a time where we try to
understand why the other act in this way and try to find a solution together, recognizing that in such conflicts
nobody is innocent.
A time when you do not have pleasure, when an economy is on the ground and people are suffering, just be-
cause they could be competitors. But a time when we are lucky that the "nation-building" worked out and
there is a good middle class and order in the country. Because that is the maximum benefit for all sides.
A time where you do not see and talk constantly about the dark spots of the other. On the other side this be-
havior is not very clever, because you can hardly change the other and you miss the chance for own develop-
ment. But why not making the things simply better?
A time where the whole world is not perceived as hostile and it is necessary to work with psychological
tricks to gain advantages. But a time in which the other is respected as a partner and there is a mutual learn-
ing and enrichment.
A time in which problems are not “solved” by simply printing money, which is in the end more drugs for the
speculators. But a time where we have the courage to communicate the necessary changes.
A time where the existing money is better distributed to all classes. This creates more economic growth and
work for all.
A time when conflicts are not kept alive just because they might have some advantages. But where we
realize that it generates incredible suffering and that it is necessary to find solutions.
A time when we finish with the cruel policy of "divide and conquer". But a time that we see the beauty of a
nation and a culture and realize nations who need support.
A time in which we respect the dignity of nations and do not misuse them just for to buy the votes for UN-
resolutions or to let them fight against another group because it fit’s to our plan.
A time when states are not misused to vote against necessary actions - against the climate-change. But in
which we see it as a common task and that we are all affected from by it.
A time in which we work with the nature and not against the nature. And we realize that nature makes it
best, it only needs support! Because we cannot survive without a healthy nature, and not vice versa.
A time when states are not misused to fight for certain objectives of other states or to vote in the United Na-
tions for specific goals.
A time when you do not pretend a post-democracy being a democracy. But force elsewhere a democracy,
which end many times in chaos.
A time when we realize that we live in the postmodern time where you communicate at eye level on all as-
pects of live, including religion.
A time in which we appreciate the great gift of global hospitality and friendship and do not misuse people ac-
cording to our own interests.
A time in which women play a significant role in economics and politics, because they are more inclusive,
and often have more empathy and understand the value of money.
A time when we see the current problems and work on it, one by one. And do not compensate the problems
by triggering a war which solves nothing but creates new problems.
A time in which we realize again what a war really means. That all the ugliness of human is coming out and
we are all losers!
A time that we realize all the suffering that we produce by interference in other nations. A time in which we
respect the autonomy of nations, that they write their own biography.
A time when nations are not misused according to theoretical geostrategic considerations, but a time where
we see the big value of state that works.
A time in which we realize that it is the best for us if everybody lives under human conditions and can appre-
ciate the human dignity.
A time in which we realize the interdependence of too much money in a few hands and global suffering and
violence.
A time in which we respects the diverse journalism and media in each country ies and do not misuse it for
our propaganda.
A time when we are not addicted to world power and sinister forge s plans. But in which we search for inter-
nal richness and global wealth and righteousness.
A time in which we realize that excessive consuming generates no satisfaction but internal emptiness and
harms the world a lot.
In which that we realize the potential of being modest, and how much real freedom it generates! A time
when we realize that “less is more”. And little things are much more intense!
A time when we realize that the most life-enhancing things like friendship, family, an eye for the amazing
nature, religious sensibility are not a matter of money.
A time in which we realize, that the joy of serving somebody else and the fight for a better world generates a
new dimension of internal joy and experience and make us strong.
A time when we realize that what happened on the Easter-Island should never happen again in the world.
That man is unable to adapt to a new situation of a modest live and that two tribes almost dis extinguished
each other by fights instead of sharing what was available and respect the nature.
A time when we realize that if 1 % of mankind has almost as much as 99 % of the rest it will generate vio-
lence and terrorism!
A time that we see, that it is a big task to make laws to ensure that the money is in many hands not only in a
few.
A time in which we share on eye level in a world community the same rules and basic laws. Otherwise we
are not part of this community.
A time when we advance from “I” to “we”. That we think in bigger dimensions than only the egoism includ-
ing the egoism of whole nations.
A time when we see us as part of a global community, as a part of a body. And if a part of the body suffers,
the whole body will suffer.
Tools to increase the performance
Smartphones are able to convert voice to text in a good way! Android: open keyboard, press settings-key
(left of space-key) longer, select Icon “Microphone”. But it is necessary to be online! Windows-PC: Pro-
grams like “Dragon natural speaking” work very well!
There are excellent voice-recorder available for Smartphones in order to make short notes.
In Youtube there are a lot of interesting documentations. With the program free youtube to MP3 Con-
verter and more it is possible to download just the Audio offline in mp3 and load it on the Smartphone.

After the 11th of September 2001 (real truth search “blue-print for truth”) most US-programs like windows
etc. have a back-door for access by externals. Linux has no backdoor! Email send the IP-Address of the
sender, cameras and microphones, tracking can be switched on and transferred, most easy with Smartphones
but also some TV! FAX can be read by the secret-services, letter as alternative? VeraCrypt encrypts and
hides files and folder excellent (even with windows no access)! Tor-Browser enable more anonymous
surfing. Hide-me hides the IP-Address. The problem, they use sensitive information to menace politicians
and others. Standard MS-Office cannot read old documents. But Libre-Office (also on Linux) can read it!
A new social reality (by statements of Kai Ehlers)
Is the purpose of human only to serve the increase of capital? And then being expelled as superfluous? There
is a need of human for the cultivation of his human being. Community-oriented work and life-plans. Work as
a way of self-realization, self-fulfillment and a possibility to develop one-selves.
Projects are jointly organized, original work processes with self-responsibility. They community dedicates
itself for mutual aid for the duration of the project and are jointly responsible for success. Self-determined
and self-organized initiatives emerge. The state is a supporter of self-determined projects. Effectiveness of
joint activities based on mutual relations. No complicated safety and control system is required. Starting
from the personal interest of their members. The project worker becomes the impetus of a social order. The
workforce of man is again what it was originally. A common idea (“we build a new world...”) and songs
could increase the motivation, the relations and the performance of the group. And the consciousness that we
are part of a bigger “good community”. One good example is Grosny in Chechen. The amazing very big
Mosque as center and internal engine of the people. And then building up such a peaceful, amazing new city!
Very impressive! Respect!
Dr. Maria Mies: Freedom of consume (17.6.2018)
This Faustian concept of insatiable needs is the necessary prerequisite for an infinitely progressive
accumulation of capital and destruction of nature. Needs that are never met are not needs, but addictions, but
human happiness means we can say: It's been nice, it's enough!
The image of the superman armed to the teeth, who proves his potency through his destructive power... is
just a ridiculous bogeyman. A self-sufficiency society is no longer looking to conquer. It does not need
foreign territories to enrich and expand its power. A self-subsistence economy could not afford the waste of
money for the military-industry. Men would have so much to do in subsistence production, just as much as
women, that they would no longer have time for their war games. Maybe then they could also develop a
sexuality and identity that would make them attractive again for women.
Utopias are not a roadmap to paradise. They are visions of a new society that we strive for. They provide an
orientation framework for our everyday decisions and for politics. However, the small pragmatic steps right
now are necessary. We must begin it in ourselves and in our everyday life. Examples are support for small
and organic farmers, producer-consumer communities. They start from the consciousness that if we want to
fight against the system of destruction, we have to change our daily lives. One lie is “Good living = high
standard of living”. Without liberation from consumer slavery, any struggle against the "enemies out there"
and "up there" will be unsuccessful.
On the other hand, a liberation movement is not a walk, it also demands sacrifice and renunciation. Lack in
wealth is not only psychological, but increasingly also material: we lack good air, clean water, space, peace,
good food, friendly and happy people, happy and adventurous children. Above all, we have a lack of human
dignity. To stop pushing aside our shared responsibility for the destruction of nature and the exploitation of
foreign peoples, we can get conclusions from the knowledge that the earth is limited. Men need to be
disarmed and demilitarized. There is a minority of about twenty percent that is squandering the riches of this
earth, and a majority of eighty percent for whom hardly anything remains. Consumerism has reduced many
people in the industrialized countries to the level of three-year-olds children: I want this, that's it!
Today, the workplace argument justifies all destructive and unnecessary production; the aim of this
production is not to preserve jobs, but to make a profit. The socially necessary work would only have to be
distributed fairly among all healthy men and women, and that would also have to lead to a fair distribution of
income. The consciousness that everything is connected with everything, that individuals are also connected
with everyone and are a part of nature and that this is not a misfortune but our happiness. This new morality
appeals to a sense of responsibility and solidarity, but not to selfishness. Work is also a source of joy and
strength. It creates human relationships. If we know that our work is useful to us and others, we will not
despair of the meaning of our lives.
Nature is not only dead raw material but something alive that has its own soul.
Malcohn Cadwell has proven that in England a self-sufficient economy is possible.
Checkmate to Humanity, what can be done personally to avoid that? (17.6.2018)
1. Educate as many people as possible about the Elite's plans
2. The mass media spreading the lies must be attacked and discredited. Lies must be explicitly revealed and
refuted to beat them with their own weapons
3. Dedicate one hour a day to fighting the elites' plans as if it were a very personal challenge.
4. Mentally free yourself from false values and status symbols that have been drummed into you.
5. Do not blindly follow any false leader who pretends to want only your best. Be yourself the only one
sovereign about your own action.
6. Avoid hatred at all levels. It is a trap of the world conspirators, which brings all human races against each
other.
7. Do not let the elite send you into one of their dirty wars.
• Police and military must protect the people and not the elites!
• The political caste must learn to fear the power of the people again.
• Prevention of the use of the RFID chip.
Conclusion: You have been taught that you cannot defend that you cannot leave any traces. All this is a lie.
If you are able to stand up with truly love, it will change. Be aware of the fact that you live as a protagonist
in the most important time of your life in a crucial epoch of human history. In this stormy time you can
decide if you want to be a sheep. Or whether you want to go down in history as someone who has fought to
the last breath against the enslavement and destruction of humanity. It is time to show the true value inherent
in you.

Alternatives for the military industry
We see that the main-problem is the military industrial media complex. When he has too much power and
influence, very serious! The government has to be very careful about that. Alternatives are “state-owned”
controlled companies. We summarized alternatives for the military industry and hope to convince the
German government. Investing in the future market “recycling”. The Belt & Road Initiative is perfect for
bidirectional transport. Recycling old war equipment, lithium batteries, lead batteries. Or railroad
construction for the Belt and Road Initiative, wagons, luxury wagons, hospital on rails, railroad-engine, tiny
houses for refugees, gray water recycling plants, communication systems, energy supply systems, solar
inverters, storage centers for alternative energies, professional irrigation systems, professional removing of
land mines and much more.
Concerning nuclear weapons
It it very strange that although there is a massive upgrade of the nuclear weapons, there is hardly information
about the consequences of nuclear weapons. It seems the media are not allowed to communicate that. Why?
Is there a plan? We need to get the information by ourselves!
Russia plans to reduce the military budget (see links, 30. 8.2017). But NATO thinks to upgrade the
weapons, based on a very questionable information.
Due to a recently released US study of 1990 using of nuclear weapons would result in a decrease of
the temperature by 20 °C and 75 % less rainfall www.heise.de/-3819155
A regional nuclear conflict has the potential to cause mass starvation worldwide through
environmental effects. Even a “small” nuclear war between India and Pakistan, with each country detonating
50 Hiroshima-size atom bombs—only about 0.03 percent of the global nuclear arsenal—as air bursts in
urban areas, could produce so much smoke that temperatures would seriously fall, shortening the growing
season around the world and threatening the global food supply. Furthermore, there would be massive ozone
depletion, allowing more ultraviolet radiation to reach Earth’s surface. Recent studies predict that agricultural
production in parts of the United States and China would decline by about 20 percent for four years, and by
10 percent for a decade. Can we really take the responsibility for that? www.globalresearch.ca/self-assured-
destruction-the-climate-impacts-of-nuclear-war-mass-starvation-ozone-depletion/5586215
Attacking with nuclear weapons can have the consequence, that Russia or any other country are
using their sophisticated weapons to destroy the electrical systems (NEMP-weapons). And then one after the
other nuclear power plant will explode, because they need active cooling and electricity. So it is shocking
easy to destroy a country unusable forever, because it will be fully contaminated!
Actual serious issues for this planet (Update march 2018)
A lot, a lot, the world is somehow seriously sick. It is like an organism with cancer-cells and
metastasis already. The egoism of some powerful groups is beyond imagination. But we should not
personalize it, it seems to be a system problem.
The most urgent issue is the threat of a nuclear war! It will affect all mankind and there is no
winner! The dramatic effects are not communicated properly in the Media! That means it seems we
have enemies of mankind under us and Ex-Banker Ronald Bernard (see online) confirms that:
“they hate the people and the world”.
The main problems we identify is the power of the military industrial media-complex which
dominates in USA all, using the wrong energy (we have solutions already but they are suppressed!),
not sustainable agriculture, Pharmacy and illegal interference in the internal affairs of countries
(regime change).
We need to pay fair prices for the agricultural products and resources.
It needs more variety in the products!
Cooperation and symbiosis should be the future
We need a planetary civil society. People can change a lot if they have the opportunity.
We need a system that patents are not blocked by companies to avoid better solutions.
We need a system to be able to reward companies who work well for the common welfare and vice
versa.
Music is not junk! The streaming services endanger the musician's craft!
We don’t need a unique mass-culture but to promote diversity of each country.
Maybe we need security systems for clarification and to avoid military escalations based on lies or
false-flag-actions or menaced politician.
George Friedman said „…what USA is doing brilliant, we force other player to do what we want”.
So this is as well a serious topic to understand the wording of some partners properly. Together solu-
tions can be agreed.
The finance-system is in a very serious crisis. We might face a big finance-crisis in the near future
and it seems in panic some partners try to trigger a war for any price, to ensure their dominance.
Solutions could be a finance-transaction-tax, dual-bank-system, regional currencies parallel to in-
ternational currencies, cooperative banks, government owned banks, international payment-system.
Transnational infrastructure projects concerning transportation, supply, professional recycling and
resources including linking of remote areas to the “cores” could be a topic.
Concepts for sustainable development concerning agriculture, fish-resources, forestry and phar-
maceutical alternatives etc. and how to implement it.
The Neo-liberalism destroys obviously the planet and generates extreme contradictions. Negative
human characters like greed, wantonly, egoism, short term thinking are rewarded! Alternatives could
be presented like the “social market economy” or the “economy for the common” or laws to punish
actions against the common good.
Exchange and protection of the irrational “depopulation-program” (see online) of a tiny isolated
Avoiding plastic and protection of the oceans.
How to convert our way of living and producing from a linear system to a circular-system by reusing
organic material, separate waste, recycling electronic and by that creating many business and job-
opportunities. Templates are cradle to cradle, recycling-technologies, refurbish and reuse of things.
The UN, international court, IMF, World-Bank, rating agencies, many more institutions and even the
climate conference are not neutral and do obviously work not properly any more. How to change it
or alternatives?
According to Warren Buffett und Elon Musk in 2018 there is an enormous Energy-revolution and it
is the chance of the century for a change in the portfolio for the military industry and more with huge
business-opportunities. Maybe steps towards a smooth, bump-less switch-over towards new energy
concepts could be a topic?

Project “One belt, one road”, the new Silk-Road, hope is coming up!
Many people feel something is wrong, but they can not name it. The capitalism with its financial bubbles is
in a fundamental crisis. Maybe it needs a Paradigm-change, from "I" to "we"? A new consciousness that
all is linked with each other? Maybe the belt & road initiative is also a mental change of consciousness
like a new operating system? The world as a healthy organism, almost like a body? With mutual support
and exchange?
Constructing the World Land-Bridge would mean an economic and cultural renaissance for the planet, a new
paradigm for mankind. The projects and key economic concepts laid out in this project are truly the
blueprint from which leading governments around the world are working. It is an inclusive concept,
bringing all together, including USA and not generating new Blocks!
2/3 of mankind are working already based on that global consciousness of a world family on a very
interesting big project and concept, “one belt, one road”. It is a global concept of relations of countries
on eye-level with the focus on a win-win-situation. With that concept we have hope that we all will face
a peacefully and prosperous future. Autonomy of a country by that is very important and should not be
scarified! The "one belt one road" project is so fascinating that even the Americans get involved! See
Schiller Institute's April 13-14, 2017 conference, "US.-China Cooperation on the Belt & Road
Initiative." (See online). Whoever comes too late might be punished by life.
We feel that the concept of “One belt, one road”, the new silk road is based on the consciousness of a
world community. It is inclusive, tries to unite all nations for the benefit of all. All can be included,
nobody excluded. And all can active participate and design the concept.
Together we are much more the one country could ever be.
Maybe it is necessary to travel by train to realize that it is a wonderful way to travel. Often full of
live, groups can be together like in a pub, comfortable and never boring because outside a wonderful
“film” of the beauty of the world and live can be seen! Different people are mixed together and can
get in contact and share experience. Traveling converts to an enjoyable event. And for many people
the train converted to a wonderful mobile office!
It is not only a train connections, it is much more. It is a concept for infrastructure projects extending
the limitations of a country far beyond national borders.
If the world community is coming together in such a way, a mutual exchange on all levels of live
could take place, social, cultural, economical, religion. Even religious development often is inspired
by others, like meditation from India integrated in Christian religion now.
For a world-community with a win/win-concept a professional infrastructure is essential. It could
comprise transportation, energy, water, waste-management (reuse of things), information-exchange,
support and more.
A template could be our genius human body. The transportation-routes are the veins, which transport
the energy and food and take the rubbish back to a centralized (professional) recycling system. If
nature is successful since millions of years why not copying it? The basic principle of nature is
intelligence, producing genius solutions with minimal resources, high efficiency, reusing of all,
keeping the negative elements under control.
Nature has no waste, and we have to come to a circular system. The minerals and resources are
limited. Centralized and professional recycling-systems ensure sustainability. It comprises not only
the amazing Eurasian plate but all continents with a fine network of infrastructure grids.
Countries have the chance to come back to the status to be autonomous bridge-states with good
relations to all instead of being front-states. The concept one belt one road has the potential to ensure
that.
We learn from other people. By traveling we open our mind and get more cosmopolitan and often
more peaceful. People who feel the treasure of global hospitality and friendship often really love the
people and open their mind. This should be not only a privilege of some very few but a gift for all.
Isolation sometimes creates irrational fear and the feeling of enmities outside.
With the end of the fossil age realistically traveling by airplane will even be more privileged for few.
We need alternatives! And it should comprise even North and South America.
Next to the railways lines large-distance power-cable can be installed (high voltage DC-
transmission) for energy-transportation, especially for the countries rich in sun from the Middle East.
So interesting for the producer and consumer.
Transportation by train is very ecological compared to airplane.
Traveling by train can be a very enjoyable event even for people with low budget. The Trans-
Siberian Railway is already a wonderful experience for many people.
A ship can transport much more container but they take more time and countries with no harbor have
a problem. On the other side, they are very critical concerning the environmental aspect (using heavy
oil).
For agricultural products transporting by train is a good choice.
·A complete truck can be transported on a train to simplify transportation.
·To integrate as much local people in the projects as possible ensures know-how-transfer and
employment
·Second-hand products (cars, machines, electronic) ensure sustainability. A refurbish-Industry can be
established and the products transferred international.
·Trains have usually defined times, unlike the trucks that depend from the road traffic. Passing
borders is easier with trains because sealed wagons don’t need to be checked.
·Cruise with ships is very popular. But similar with a luxury train is even more exciting, because you
can see beautiful life and nature outside. A good business-option.
·Transnational infrastructure-programs are only possible with international big communities like
huge water supply systems for agriculture.
·The creation of values should be maximized in the less privileged countries. Each country
contributes very specific to the world market and culture.
·Countries should cooperate to ensure good and fair prices for resources and agricultural products to
ensure development and stable markets on all side. If countries with the goal to protect human and
the earth are united, there a new perspectives to change a lot on all levels. Countries should share
information and protect each other of interference in the internal affairs of countries on many levels.
Together we are strong and can avoid that dramatic interference.
If we invest in not privileged and poor areas, we generate new markets with few necessities for
advertisement and marketing. Saturated markets need a sophisticated and expensive marketing
system.
Also there is Imperialism concerning food, clothes, dance and traditions. Maybe respect and support
of specific customs and habits could be one goal. Diversity in traditions, clothes, dancing, food is a
treasure of mankind and can be proudly presented to others (tourist attraction!) if there is a contact.
If we invest in not privileged and remote areas, we generate new markets with few necessity for
advertisement and marketing. Saturated markets need a sophisticated and expensive marketing
system.
New remote refugee.villages can be established linked very well to big cities.
All this is a very big challenge! But the alternative is war and chaos. May be professional
conciliators can support to avoid too much trouble.
Maybe not all is possible and realistic. But it is good to have visions! They motivate us to fight, they
are a guideline and a goal. Visions and hope make human to real human! Hope is crucial for
mankind!
·Some of the young generation are motivated to work as volunteer for projects for the common good.
This ensures as well to have more resilience, which is very important for success in live! Maybe the
belt & road initiative offers interesting possibilities to work on that together with other international
people in a good community and to exchange experience? The military service sometimes generates
decadency because people feel boring. With the Belt & Road-initiatitve the consciousness, “we build
a new world together” could be the basis.
·Transportation of excessive “waste” which could be very precious for other regions. In Germany
there is excessive meat-production with a lot of “waste” which could be a good fertilizer for other
regions.
·By good train connections people might be motivated to live outside of cities as well. Home offices
ensure remote participation in projects.
·This concept could be like a Marshall-Plan for the world. Working together for our all good and
peaceful future.
·It is not a dream! It is implemented already! A train from China to England was bringing already
products to Europe.
·Already more than 60 countries , 2/3 of mankind join that concept “one belt, one road”.
·We are coming to the Age of Anthropocene now (hopefully peaceful) where human will design the
world with responsibility, respect and cooperation with the natural processes. Working with the
nature and cooperation on eye-level generates win/win-situations. Where we understand that all is
linked with each other! May be one belt one road fits very well in this new time?
Business-opportunities
·Rail car train-set, wagon, rails-technology, electrification, power-transmission, centralized recycling-
systems, security, buildings for stations, engineering and project implementation, Logistics etc. Payback by
transportation-fees, cargo-companies, tourism and much more…
More aspects
• Highly dangerous conflicts can be very gallantly dissolved into something positive.
• It would be a very good motivation to implement good diplomacy as quickly as possible, in order to
participate that new development for the common good.
• This economic space represents a huge, sustainable and reliable growing market. Even our children will be
able to feed on that.
• They are familiar business partners with usually very pleasant business relationships.
• These business relationships have a low risk of legal proceedings with horrendous payments.
• Identical value systems of respect, morality, seriousness, reliability etc.
• We also have a similar focus on a broad and strong middle class and not a "laisser-faire-capitalism".
• We have a similar focus in social systems and controlling functions of the State for the common good of
the majority of the people.
• There are relatively short delivery and transport routes which is cost efficient and environmentally friendly.
• Customers who are able to pay because raw material revenues exist or revenues from the sale of products.
• We have a chance for a sustainable peace, which is a very important aspect.
• The peoples could learn a lot from each other. We get new impulses of others!
• From a cultural point of view, this contact can lead to an exchange of social and cultural valuable impulses
• Communication rather than confrontation is our culture. It can bring positive development on all sides.
• This concept "as well as" offers plenty of options to choose the best partner for the different aspects.
• Is is not necessary to be forced by a partner to certain contracts. There are alternatives and contract
negotiations could be more democratic.
• Integrating all countries in the development ensures stable markets with a benefit for all (win/win-
situations).
• The fear of war in Eurasia, which is very paralytic, could be neutralized.
• It might be a transition to a new Era of beauty and culture, a focus on social justice instead of maximizing
profit and power, mutual appreciation and respect for the autonomy of countries. Culture can generate as
well good business-concepts if we consider the film and music-industry. But there must be fair agreements!
• This concept could become a new Entity with new principles like "human first" etc.
• A concept which is interested in the development of a country, but respects the autonomy of nations.
• It is a step towards a world as a healthy organism where everything is linked with each other and for
common solutions for the urgent problems (resources, climate-change etc). And no relapse into the last
century of the cold and hot war.
• Each country is free to join this initiative.
• Not political leadership of a country but friendship and partnership of all should be the dogma. From some
countries technical, sustainable solutions and intellectual impulses can come whereas from others spiritual,
cultural and human impulses for the world. Each country has its own very specific contribution to the world
culture and wealth.
• It can be a new vision and a dream for which it may be worth fighting.
• All can participate including USA. And they are interested as well!
• It would be a motivation to focus on the real problems, the financial situation, the extreme social
contradictions, the environmental problems and much more.
It could be a step ahead in a new Era, away from the domination of money towards a greater inner
wealth. Surely these are all hypothesis and visions. But the alternatives might be war, confrontation and
chaos. Hope is very crucial for our human existence and motivation.
Surely there will be resistance or hopes will be destroyed by certain groups. But people can not live
in hopelessness. The most important resource for us as a human being is hope.
But every new constructive way is a struggle but together we are strong. Perhaps it is worth fighting
for it? After all, it concerns our and the future of our children, the most valuable thing we have. Thank you!
· Too much concentrated power can get corrupt! Establishing a multi polar world keeps the world in
balance. We have antitrust divisions to avoid too much power on national level because we know that a
monopoly is not good, they can do what they want!
· The identity of nations and ethnics should be respected as it ensures the feeling of trust and natural
pride, without excluding others.
· Diversity is a treasure of mankind! Different religions are a treasure of mankind and enrich the
world culture! We can learn a lot of each other and we all have human values and moral which
unites us. We have more in common if we focus on the basic aspects of all religion to reduce
suffering. Respect of human, justice, peace, preserving the nature and environment.
· Building up international relationship and fellowship can develop beside business topics.
More general aspects
· Different world currencies ensure adaption to specific national conditions. That does not exclude
having an international payment system with common rules and a common administration.
· One goal could be trying to free human as long as the national order can be maintained. That
ensures the maximal creativity, activity and motivation.
· Mind control techniques must be prohibited, as they interfere in the personal authority and
autonomy of human. Avoiding that is to have specific talks only in a group.
· Fair international prices ensure development for all market participants and the ability to buy
products.
· The international drug-business has to be reduced by effort of the international community. The
producer should be offered alternatives for production.
· Scientific development should be more focused on the most critical topics of mankind like conflict
prevention, protecting the natural resources like water, air and soil etc.
· Each country should be free to have their own family-planning projects, depending on their
specific conditions.
· Some work until they have a burn-out or family problems, other are frustrated because they have
no work. Good balanced work for all ensures social stability and reduce the cost for the government
and maximizes the market participants. Some countries have good experience in part-time jobs like
the Netherlands. There are many volunteer-activities in the free time. This generates broad
experiences and that can enrich the normal work as well.
· Family is the most basic and crucial unit and should be protected to ensure a healthy social and
mental live and to ensure the protection in difficult times.
· Values and a common moral based on the local traditions should be supported to reduce
criminality and ensure long term overall success. Unmoral behavior is based on a short-term
thinking. Neglecting moderate traditional and religious roots can generate extreme reactions.
· Human should be free to decide about their own destiny. That might ensure maximal motivation
and passion for a topic.
· Not supporting extreme peculiarity of religions. Life teaches us, all extreme is not good. Human
has only relative truths, no absolute truth! Religion should free human internally and not making a
slave of him.
· Meetings of different religious groups could lead to mutual inspiration and finding the common
pragmatically basics like love, compassion and working for justice, peace and protecting the nature
etc. This can motivate to focus more on the pragmatical aspects changing the world for a better
future.
· Protection and actions to avoid artificial crisis to ensure more power for specific groups after that.
For that the financial power of specific groups have to be restricted.
· Even supranational companies have to be controlled by national power to ensure payment of tax
etc. Nations have to be able to control the companies in a country.
· Governments should ensure that not “state in state”-effects take place. That specific lobby-groups
dominate the government (military industry, energy-industry etc).
· Supra-national organizations like UN, IMF, BIZ or the world-bank have to cleaned of Agents for
specific interests or they are obsolete.
· Respect of the internal affairs of countries is very important to ensure specific national
development! External focus only on their very specific goals. E.g. in Greece externals, who have no
idea of the characteristics of the country decide about the politics of the country. But it is not
successful!
· Banks have to verify how much credit a country can pay back and work on that basis to avoid that
a country gets bankrupt.
· For international terrorism international cooperation is very necessary. It has to be identified who
is supporting what kind of groups. What is the goal, what they want? How they can have an
alternative business-concept. Military fighting against international terrorism is not very successful,
terrorism gets more and more.
· Education must be free of propaganda and lobby-groups, especially external propaganda. This
happened in Germany in schools to convince pupil of the fracking-technology. Education is very
crucial in many aspects, also for learning discipline, to focus on specific topics for a longer time etc.
Maybe it could be extended with topics of stress-management, increasing the resilience, good
partnership, good relations and value of the family and living traditional habits etc.
· Every life is worth to be protected. “There is enough for all but not enough for the greed of few”,
said Mahatma Gandhi. In some countries 50 % of the food is going to rubbish! We need better
systems to avoid that and to feed the world
All processes have their dynamic but some developments are not positive for human. All country and regions
should go their individual way of development best adapted to the local conditions and human. General
solutions hardly exist. Although external support for professional politics could ensure good governance.
Specific local traditions often include a wisdom of the people. Global mass-culture should not suppress local
culture. Like Halloween and Christopher street-day is not very specific and people don’t understand the
message.
The Inuit in Alaska communicate us what happens if the natural roots like tradition, culture, habits, language,
religion, family are replaced by mass-consumption and mass-culture. They have an extreme high suicide-rate
and massive drug-problems.

A new social reality as template for the belt & road Initiative (by statements of Kai Ehlers)
Is the purpose of human only to serve the increase of capital? And then being expelled as superfluous? There
is a need of human for the cultivation of his human being. Community-oriented work and life-plans. Work as
a way of self-realization, self-fulfillment and a possibility to develop one-selves.
Projects are jointly organized, original work processes with self-responsibility. They community dedicates
itself for mutual aid for the duration of the project and are jointly responsible for success. Self-determined
and self-organized initiatives emerge. The state is a supporter of self-determined projects. Effectiveness of
joint activities based on mutual relations. No complicated safety and control system is required. Starting
from the personal interest of their members. The project worker becomes the impetus of a social order. The
workforce of man is again what it was originally. A common idea (“we build a new world...”) and songs
could increase the motivation, the relations and the performance of the group. And the consciousness that we
are part of a bigger “good community”. One good example is Grosny in Chechen. The amazing very big
Mosque as center and internal engine of the people. And then building up such a peaceful, amazing new city!
Very impressive! Respect!
About the Privileged
“The Privileged are not privileged for a long time, if they do not care about the underprivileged” (Source
unknown). But there are some who, instead of helping the poor, as it should correspond to the dignity and
destiny of human, even rob the poor! Incredible! By deceiving and robbing the people with war or foreign-
controlled governments! Isn’t it shabby, miserable and poor? Aren’t they aware of how guilty it makes them?
The suffering and hatred they seed, will they harvest it one day? Isn’t it dramatic how much they and the
people who support them damage their biography and soul by that? It is truly unfortunate that their life has
been stuck in egoism. Because of that they feel unreal sense of threats because they have lost trust in people.
At the same time, they would get everything they need for a satisfied life by respect, communication and fair
negotiation. The people hate such low motives by unrestrained greed because its destroys the reputation of
the nation, isolate the people and hatred and contempt is the natural reflex. Of course, the military have their
interests and therefore communicate “we take the treasures of others by military actions etc”. But aren’t there
many other important tasks for them? In doing so, the global hospitality, friendship and mutual enrichment
would broaden the narrow horizon and allow them to feel the joy of life again, inner happiness and a fresh
desire for the future and let them feel that we are a world community. We should have learned from the foray
of the Iraq war, based on lies. Maybe internal emptiness, greed and isolation is the background? How we can
help them to come out of that pitiably status? What a regrettable fate!
Please do it for the children
Children have often such a refreshing openness and honesty. Let us listen to them! But, of course, not
everything is right what they communicate.
We children are very sad, angry and stunned because we see our future threatened by irresponsibility and
missing courage. Excuse our open words, but we are very worried!
Only because they do not have the courage to help the military industry producing alternatives like
trains, factories etc they want to ruin the whole planet and destroy our future?
Only because they are not able to control the people who cry extreme loud but contribute to the
social welfare so few, the financial industry, they threaten our financial future?
You are making expensive conferences with many important people, but what is really
implemented? What really changed constructively?
Only because they do not grudge Russia the resources, they want to destabilize the entire country
and continue the wasteful live on the account of others?
Only because they are jealous on China, the people, country and its amazing Olympics games must
be slandered constantly. This reminds us to an unsuccessful, unsatisfied husband because of lack of
imagination and discouragement consistently criticizes his married woman. But she is successful!
Only because Turkey has good relations with Russia, which is good for the peace, the president
needs to be isolated demonized and ruined. Turkey wants to have like any other country a good relationship
with all!
Only because Iran is absolutely annoyed that a remote controlled puppet government was installed
for a long time only to get the resources for nothing, they have to be blamed for everything never mind
whether it is correct or not. Is it not very shabby? You do not allow others to administrate their own
resources! And all your other partners are perfect democrats with a high moral?
To follow all these goals massive virtual money will is spent and the dollar and the future of US will
be ruined sustainable. Never mind? We have good friends in USA and love some movies and the music is
cool! The world is not a toy or a strategy game! The world belongs to all and not a few Super-saturated!
"Don’t they see the problems in the world?" Does the suffering of the people, the screams of the children,
the desperation of the parents, the hopelessness that they are producing touch your heart? Are they so
isolated, that they don’t feel that anymore? Do they really think that the hatred and suffering they seed might
not come back one day?
In USA, 13% of our friends have temporarily not enough to eat, the violence is shocking! And the
hunger and desperation in Yemen and elsewhere because of the senseless and illegal war? And they play
strategy games?
Human have their own mind and when they have power and weapons they are doing what they
want? Nobody in Syria will accept a puppet government! They already tried it! The Iraq invasion was a
disaster. Why it is impossible to learn of faults?
First they build up ISIS for certain targets then complete cities are destroyed (Mossul) to get rid of
them again. Don’t they realize how serious sick that is?
Millions of people suffer from hunger in the war in Yemen and a little bit more north infinite money
is wasted to fight the self-constructed enemy ISIS. Incredible!
All this is so incredibly poor, so incredibly ridiculous! Are they not ashamed for all that? Why they
don’t take responsibility for our future? Compassionately and contemptuously politicians who take
responsibility for their country and people, look to this sick world and people with disdain.
Why don’t they write in the media simply that Russia, China, Iran and Turkey are guilty for
everything and all are criminals? Always the others are generating confrontation, are the evil ones who want
conflicts everywhere. And the others always strive for peace and for the welfare of mankind. The success
stories we can see in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya. Have they seen how excellent Russia rebuild Chechen?
And one of the biggest mosque in Europe! And how peaceful it is in Chechen! Don’t they think that it is the
risk that people who are able to take responsibility cannot take people who generate that disaster serious any
more? Instead of helping people in poor countries, they are making war in these countries (Yemen,
Somalia)! What’s wrong with them? Are they actually aware that arrogance and ignorance are the safe
ingredients for a soon decline? And that it communicates to others a clear language of isolation, uncertainty
and complexes? Please take responsibility for our future! That we can be proud on you again! And do not
believe that war is the only solution. Only because they are too lazy to develop constructive solutions! But
there are numerous solutions! For the financial disaster they created as well. Why they live like there are no
people following in the future? Please do it for the children! They are worth to fight for them and their
future. Then you can see again the light, the hope and the magic in our eyes and our laughing faces and
liveliness. And you can share again our joie de vivre.
From where do we have that information? From our frustrated parents because of the upper issues.
They realize what is going on, but they are too shire to speak openly about that it in public!
The Generations Manifesto
We are citizens and are worried about: The oldest agreement of mankind is in danger - the generational
contract.
Previous generations have always tried to leave their children a better world with more justice. This is one
reason that we have such an excellent situation today.
We, the golden generation of those who were born after the war, have enjoyed this human basic wish and
desire, and now we realize that we are throwing a lot of unresolved problems to feed of our children.
We know since long that it is up to us whether the basics for a livable future is maintained.
The situation is terrifying. Our society with its production and growth delusion is making the earth
inhospitable and uninhabitable for our offspring.
We must therefore decide whether, with this short-term, egocentric way of thinking, we abandon our
responsible for future generations. Or change our mind and restore with courageous actions the chances for
future generations concerning health, fulfilled life and happiness.
It is not an isolated fight against individual crises such as poverty, hunger, climate change or migration.
Today we live in a world where everything is interconnected and everyone with everyone. All what we do or
omit has an effect beyond national boundaries and generations. Therefore, as a society, we must act together
and create the basis for holistic solutions.
We are committed to a new generational contract, a treaty who takes into consideration the needs of future
generations and their challenges. For they are the ones who will bear the consequences of our actions and
non-dealing.
We advocate long-term strategies and holistic solutions for comprehensive future generation, because the
current planning of all major parties does not adequately consider the interests of the next generations.
We demand:
1. Peace: A future without war is not self-evident.
We call on the federal government to work towards a definitive abolition of all nuclear weapons and to
conclude an end to the export of war weapons to areas of tension.
2. Climate: Avert the climate disaster by all means.
We must increase our efforts massively following the Paris climate protection agreement. We call to end the
use of fossil fuels by 2040 and to submit a viable concept for CO2 taxation and emissions trading. A future
fund has to be created from the taxation-money, which promotes innovations for future generations.
3. Education: We need new skills.
Our educational concept comes from another century. In the digital millennium, we need interdisciplinary,
self-education, teamwork and media training. We call for a future commission, which develops a thematic
learning and teaching from the kindergarten to the university and resolutely initiates its implementation.
4. Poverty reduction: ending hunger and poverty.
We call to act more decisively and to comply with the commitments made already. The solution lies in the
promotion of fair salaries, a fair participation of labor and fair rules for the production of global
consumption. The education and empowerment of women and children in emerging and developing
countries through an international education program will contribute to better living perspectives of people.
5. Justice: Reduce the growing gap between rich and poor.
Poverty of elderly people is a real threat to a growing part of the population. We call to submit a plan for the
pension and social system, taking into account the demographic development. We demand a tax reform for a
fair tax system, with fair assets, inheritance and finance transactions, and support for families with many
children, as well as a serious discussion on the unconditional basic income.
6. Enterprise-liability: Companies and banks must work for the people and not vice versa.
We call for the introduction and enforcement of the polluter-pays principle and clear rules of liability at the
global and national level. The consequences of crises and catastrophes must be paid by those who make
profits with high risks and transfer problems to future generations. And we demand global efforts for multi-
national companies to pay corporate taxes in the country where profits are being generated.
7. Migration: A common solution for a common problem.
Our egoism and our profits greed are one background for the refugees and we must take the responsibility.
We call for a plan that takes measures for the expected migration flows of the future at an international level,
and a distribution plan that provides a solution for the integration of these people. And we demand a
consistent and fair integration of the refugees and migrants living here as well as the discussion about a
global green card.
8. Digitization: The digital revolution presents opportunities and risks.
The profound transformation of the economy and society to digitization requires clear rules. We need a
digital Charta and a supranational institution that can set up and enforce rules, both for the use of personal
data and for the prosecution of digital crimes.
Digital business models must be embedded in a globally valid regulatory framework, which guarantees every
citizen the sovereignty over his data and limits the threat that the state will become a monitoring state that
hinders the development of future generations. We call to develop a tax model that takes digital business
models into account, as well as productivity and efficiency gains in taxation, and compensates the loss of
jobs subject to social insurance by new types of taxation (Taxes on productive machines etc).
9. Waste: Waste must not become our main heritage to future generations.
The oceans are filled with plastic waste. There is no disposal solution for radioactive waste, and the
exploitation of natural resources has devastated and contaminated entire regions. We propose to allow only
those materials that can be dismantled or technically disposed within a generation.
10. Generational justice: inclusion as a basic law!
We need a new generational contract that deserves this name. We propose to incorporate generational
equality into basic laws, thus ensuring that liability claims can be prosecuted on behalf of future generations.
Rarely so many people had been concerned about the future of their children and grandchildren. We as well!
We have therefore joined forces to initiate a change of course. We invite everyone to join us, to discuss,
negotiate and make a decisive and optimistic start. Our generation today has the knowledge to solve the
problems of the world. People landed on the moon and soon land on Mars. With this will we also will be able
to make this earth worth living for all generations, here and elsewhere, today and in the future. That is what
we want. And we're starting now.

From the point of view of having, money becomes the crowbar of power (F. Nietzsche).
From the point of view of being, money is a tool for the distribution of the

From the point of view of having, the free play of forces allows any game that has its own forces

From the point of view of being, man is responsible for playing with his powers in the free

From the point of view of having, the possession of means of production is a right and a necessity.
From the point of view of being, the possession of means of production is a duty and a possibility.
From the point of view of having, the product allows any consumption.
From the point of view of being, consumption is responsible for production.
From the point of view of having, "in the economy" money is used for culture, education, care of the elderly,

From the point of view of being, culture, education, geriatric care, etc. are inalienable activities in the

From the point of view of being, the market economy is based on mutual giving.

From the point of view of being, the income of human beings is the meaning and purpose of human
economic activity.
From the point of view of having, the market economy is based on competition for one's own advantage.
From the point of view of being, the social division of labor is based on the competition of the
Cooperation for mutual benefit.
Neither does the market economy force us to behave capitalistically, nor does the capitalistic behaviour of
our fellow human beings at work and in the market force us to retaliate for the same with the same. Even if
we cannot prevent anyone from wanting to be and force anyone to be, a whole world of having cannot
prevent us from being where others sacrifice their lives to have. That is the freedom that the free play of
forces holds in store for us. The concern "for our daily bread" is part of our appointment and our encounter
with life. To fathom it is to fathom one's own life. Only in the encounter with life can we win our own life.
Above all, this means that we become capable of relationships - relationships with nature and our fellow
human beings, also within the social division of labour. Where man's life plan is based on the struggle
against the elements of nature and on competition with his fellow human beings, love is unthinkable and
peace impossible.
"Only a complete exploration of reality can save us; fear can never save us. We
do not exist separately from others, but we are all inseparably connected to each other."
(Thich Nhat Hanh)
These are the cornerstones of a new economic consciousness that is much more than just an economic
consciousness. This consciousness enables us to move freely in our personal life and market life - without
fears, without false demands on ourselves and others. For this we have to further develop this awareness by
tracking down our own mistakes in our life and market life, which have led us to experience the real live.

Do we need a new religion?
We think the existing religions have amazing substance, wisdom and potential for development. Excellent
advices to ensure a good live for the majority, humanity and a human order on our planet earth. But more
than that, they give human the chance to feel internal happiness, hope and to generate energy, although the
reality is sometimes different. It is a big challenge for human to extract and implement the constructive
elements which incorporate love for human and all live and the earth. And to reject the opposite elements.
Some religious people say, “We all have the same chef”, but different ways to go up the mountain. But on
top we will meet altogether. But diversity is a treasure of mankind. It is good and a treasure that we have
different religions and it is a good medicine for many people. But not all people need and want that
medicine.
Increasing the performance of a country
Independent of what we think and feel about religion, it gives many people hope, a lot of energy and it fills
the internal emptiness. There are significant more people who have problems with alcohol and drugs, who
are not religious. Religion is part of the culture and there are many aspects which could lead to a more warm
and human community. And religion helps that people are able to bear more suffering and do not get so easy
desperate in crisis. Religion gives answers on many questions (purpose of life) where the government is of-
ten not able to answer. Religion could lead human beyond the limitations of an egoistic live and generate
emotional experiences which could ensure that they work better in the “normal life”.
Religious ceremonies are highly intelligent processes in respect of giving courage and hope to the people by
singing and celebrating together that non-religious groups tried to copy it (in England etc). Religious people
often create incredible art in many aspects and form the culture.
So respecting and may be supporting religion could increase the overall performance, humanity, culture and
charm of a country. But freedom is a main aspect of religion and fundamentalism might be the negative side
of religion (like we experience elsewhere “extreme” is in most cases not good). Violence is not part of the re-
ligion but part of politics to misuse the religious people for specific goals.
The religious diversity is a treasure of mankind and religion is the medicine for many people, but not for all!
The respect of individual ways is very important! May be everybody and every country has to find its spe-
cific religious roots.
Yoga and meditation and other techniques seem to be improving the personal stability and skill of
focusing on one topic and feeling compassion. But it is not the solution for all people!
Heaven and hell (8.7.2018)
An ethnologist made a very nice documentation about Libya at the time of Muammar al-Gaddafi. People
lived almost in paradise, at least from the general conditions. People had been satisfied and very happy, it
was perceptible. A professor from Libya told me that Muammar al-Gaddafi wanted to start to help other
countries in Africa by a development-bank in Tripoli and therefore wanted their money back from US. He
had already co-funded the satellite for low-cost communication.
Today the same people live in hell although they had been honest and decent people! In Iraq, innocent and
sincere people say it's getting more horrible every day! We have to rethink heaven and hell!
We have the hell here on earth, if we allow that one country after the other will be destroyed based on lies.
Communicating these lies can prevent future disasters. Otherwise, maybe this planet will hell for all? If we
read Thomas Barnett, George Friedman or Dr. John Coleman, there is a clear agenda of cultural, social,
religious and human decline and total control at all levels, to a Neo-feudalism-system. It is up to us to avert
this! This time has the potential to generate traitors or heroes. Why should we sacrifice our soul for the goals
of others?
Why it makes sense to work for a better world (8.7.2018)
Often in religious communities (especially in female convents) we can see that all is so beautiful, like in the
paradise. But outside in the world? Is part of the religious messages and our internal natural impulses to fight
for justice and a better world? People who are active in changing the world to be a better place, make a lot of
experience (good and bad). But by that they develop themselves and their personality and are advanced to
others, who don‘t do that. They often develop more compassion, resilience, efficiency etc, all crucial
elements for to be open to see the beauty in the world and not to suffer too much from tiny issues. People
who focus mainly on their goals are often very sensible and suffer a lot from tiny negative events. So part of
our happiness lies in our hand! What a wonderful freedom! Feeling happiness inside often gives us often a
signal that we are on the right way. But only to focus on that might make happiness disappear.
Communicating this to the people might motivate them to work more on social topics.
By the way, most religions are very old and justice was something, the kings didn’t like. So maybe with the
time this topic get more and more in the background and worship in the foreground. But who is working on
justice? If a God created the world, as many assume, for sure justice is a big topic! People who work on that,
and that’s not easy, but they feel internal happiness about that. In Christian religion it is a big topic. But there
are clear statements in the James letter, “Faith without deeds is death! But the church communicated that the
“deeds” means to pay money for the church. That’s what Martin Luther was opposed!
Making a good speech or presentation
Not wasting too much time to present itself. Being modest impresses more than the opposite. A free speech
is the most attractive for the audience. Making the audience curious about the content by going directly to the
content. The best channel to remind things is by visual or emotional elements. Making short sentences, and
not using too many words, people don’t understand.
WE ARE PEACE, an Impulse from Christina von Dreien, 22.7.2019
“Peace is not a state that simply arises all of a sudden. Peace is a decision – made by every single person,
extending to all countries.” We all want peace in and for the world. It is time for us to understand: we are
responsible for the earth. We as citizens are the ones who will bring change to the world. If we really want
peace in the world, then we should understand that the prerequisite for outer peace is inner peace. It is time
that we encounter the violence in the world with love and that we live from our hearts. Our hearts are nothing
but love, which expresses itself as truth, embodies itself as a human being, feels like joy and lives as
freedom. “Because we are human beings, we learn to understand what it means to change with and through
love, to live with truth and to think with freedom.” The key to peace is not politics – we are, as citizens of the
world. The moment the hearts of a group of people beat in the same rhythm, focused on peace and light for
this world, the gates of peace and freedom are opened to the whole of humankind. We have free will.
Therefore, it is up to us whether we want to say YES to peace and begin living peace, or whether we are still
hesitant. If we say YES to peace and begin to act like peace, then we begin to change the world. It is
important for us to understand that every little action has an impact. We are all interconnected in the energy
field of humanity. Each person who undertakes some small act of peace at home on the physical plane, sends
this action to the global humanity-field, adding a further spark of peace to this field. The key to peace and
freedom for humanity lies in the common orientation of our hearts. The key to a shared orientation is to live
what we carry in our hearts. The more people live their hearts, the more this ability, this information will
flow into the humanity-field. And the more this grows in the humanity-field, the easier it will be for those
still to come. Every person who lives their heart kindles the fire of love, and helps to light the still dark
torches so that everyone has the chance to carry the fire of love within and pass through the gates of peace
and freedom. For peace in the outer world begins with peace within. Every human being is thus called to
embody their own heart in their life, in order to anchor love, truth and freedom here and to let peace arise and
the fire of love shine.

Thank you!
Thank you to all who enriched the world and this document with a lot of wonderful impulses and wisdom!
This is a summary of various sources mixed with own impulses and it should live and change with new
challenges in the world. Please leave us anonymous, which allows us to work more free and honest. My only
deep wish by heart is justice locally and international. That’s enough! Thank you to work on this project
of the century! If one problem is solved, we can be sure that new challenges are coming up! But that keeps
