Humanity is in a bizarre time. A time when many things are converging. A time when, because of our behaviour and the way we have treated our life resources over the past 200 years, we are facing major climate changes. Changes that can no longer be stopped or reversed. Our task is to mitigate and anticipate!\u00a0<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><h2><strong>The rich<\/strong><\/h2><p>At the same time, we see that a relatively small group of extremely rich strives for total control and power over really everything and everyone. This club of extreme rich make money in all major industries. They are the major shareholders in the food industry, pharmaceutical industry, mobility industry, control the banking system, and more. But above all, they are big players in the arms industry. And what do all industries need? Right, raw materials and energy. Energy mostly derived from fossil fuels.<\/p><h2><strong>Power and control<\/strong><\/h2><p>They do not shy away from any means to achieve their goals. Don&#8217;t care about nationality, race, creed or political affiliation. Or about humanity or the environment! They are driven by the urge for power and control and are addicted to money and property. Their humanity has been completely taken over by vanity and self-glorification. Their insatiable drive for more in the broadest sense of the word makes them blind to the destruction and destructiveness they cause. So blind that they fail to realise that sooner or later their descendants too will reap and eat the rotten fruits of this.<\/p><h2><strong>Making money<\/strong><\/h2><p>They have been creating tension, conflicts and wars all over the world for decades. Of course, in places where raw materials and\/or fossil fuel can be mined. A very good revenue model. First you make outrageous money supplying weapons and then you have access to raw materials and fossil fuels at rock-bottom prices.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c23dfda e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c23dfda\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2d6d844 e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"2d6d844\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-844312d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"844312d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2482\" src=\"https:\/\/b-a-wear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/capitalim-1-scaled.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-938\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/b-a-wear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/capitalim-1-scaled.png 2560w, https:\/\/b-a-wear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/capitalim-1-300x291.png 300w, https:\/\/b-a-wear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/capitalim-1-1024x993.png 1024w, https:\/\/b-a-wear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/capitalim-1-768x745.png 768w, https:\/\/b-a-wear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/capitalim-1-1536x1489.png 1536w, https:\/\/b-a-wear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/capitalim-1-2048x1985.png 2048w, https:\/\/b-a-wear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/capitalim-1-600x582.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e1b9a49 e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"e1b9a49\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3bc0eab e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"3bc0eab\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5fceb10 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5fceb10\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Globally, there are about 2,800 billionaires.

Albert Einstein This quote by Albert Einstein hits the nail on the head as far as I am concerned. Humanity is in a bizarre time. A time when many things are converging. A time when, because of our behaviour and the way we have treated our life resources over the past 200 years, we are facing major climate changes. Changes that can no longer be stopped or reversed. Our task is to mitigate and anticipate!\u00a0\u00a0 The rich At the same time, we see that a relatively small group of extremely rich strives for total control and power over really everything and everyone. This club of extreme rich make money in all major industries. They are the major shareholders in the food industry, pharmaceutical industry, mobility industry, control the banking system, and more. But above all, they are big players in the arms industry. And what do all industries need? Right, raw materials and energy. Energy mostly derived from fossil fuels. Power and control They do not shy away from any means to achieve their goals. Don&#8217;t care about nationality, race, creed or political affiliation. Or about humanity or the environment! They are driven by the urge for power and control and are addicted to money and property. Their humanity has been completely taken over by vanity and self-glorification. Their insatiable drive for more in the broadest sense of the word makes them blind to the destruction and destructiveness they cause. So blind that they fail to realise that sooner or later their descendants too will reap and eat the rotten fruits of this. Making money They have been creating tension, conflicts and wars all over the world for decades. Of course, in places where raw materials and\/or fossil fuel can be mined. A very good revenue model. First you make outrageous money supplying weapons and then you have access to raw materials and fossil fuels at rock-bottom prices. Globally, there are about 2,800 billionaires. That is a fraction of the world&#8217;s population. The wealth of the top 10 billionaires is increasing by an average of $2.7 billion a day! More than 700 million people (9.2%) of the world&#8217;s population live on $1.90 a day. They are in mortal danger daily because of extreme poverty! But it is clearly not enough for this small group. You only have to follow the news to see that WW3 is clearly being pushed. Just go through history: the same war rhetoric, propaganda and fear creation. The enemy enters the living room daily. Talk shows and current affairs programmes feature \u2018highly decorated and distinguished\u2019 army officers or so-called \u2018experts\u2019 as guests, proclaiming that we are in danger and that our pensions and tax money should go to \u2018defence\u2019. No money for education, healthcare, fighting poverty, promoting equity or innovation in environmental issues. But billions for arms and the military! Observant citizens may have noticed that driving towards, and planning for, WW3 did not start two years ago. Quite a few strategic moves preceded this. This was plotted and set in motion immediately after WW2. A plan that has been rolled out over decades, step by step, chess move by chess move, and now threatens to come to a destructive and bloody climax. The enemy is not the one you are made afraid of or being warned about. The enemy is the one who talks fair in to you and warns you! It all seems very complex, but it is all traceable to a out of control capitalist system. A global banking and tax system that ensures the extremely rich get even richer. A system that traps a large group of people in extreme poverty and makes them pay the price for the unlimited financial growth of the extremely rich. A system that allows a large part of us, the average citizen, to benefit just enough from the wealth and is addicted to consuming. But also made dependent on the loan and interest system. Something that makes us paralysed and docile; an easy prey for manipulation and sowing fear. A saying used by the extremely rich: \u201cTreat citizens like mushrooms, keep them in the dark and feed them bullshit!\u201d A modern version of: \u201cGive them bread and games!\u201d From an early age, we are played with, influenced and, above all, made consumers. Made addicted to stuff, food and holidays. And led to the banks&#8217; loan and interest system Concerns like Coca Cola and McDonalds focus their advertisements mainly on children. These brands, beer brands, Apple, TUI and more, put over a third (35% on average) of profits back into advertising. In the case of Coca Cola, that&#8217;s 4 billion in advertising budget a year Add to this the mind-numbing and empty TV programmes that fill and pollute our brains. This completes the circle. All this together makes us jaded and indifferent. When I am in conversation with people, I often get the comment, \u2018I try not to worry about that so much, you can&#8217;t change it anyway.\u2019 That\u2019s just the way it is (changes) Tupac Shakur Recognisable? It makes me angry, frustrates me and gives me a feeling of vicarious shame. At the same time, I realise that the phrase \u2018you can&#8217;t change it anyway\u2019 conceals a great deal of powerlessness. Fear of rebelling and of change. Yet I am convinced that the majority of people really want things to be different and are concerned. Realising that things cannot go on like this. We all want a future for our descendants, don&#8217;t we? It has everything to do with misinformation, manipulation, indoctrination and, above all, fear. Fear of giving in and losing, the feeling of powerlessness. However, the reality is: we citizens are not powerless. We are the majority. It is just that we are handing over power, letting ourselves be controlled and playrd by a very small group of \u2018people\u2019.
