WE HAD A PLAN & IT WORKED
There was no way we could have done this step by step. A lot needed to
be done at the same time, and by different groups which worked together
closely.
We could have done it in secret, but we needed to act fast and for that
we needed transparency.
As established organisations and businesses continued to hide, water
down and lie about their motives and about the state of our planet, our
transparency and integrity became more and more obvious, even to the
fleeting observer.
We laughed and danced a lot. Dancing is important. It keeps you going.
I know. You want to know the plan. You want to know how we got to
restoring our planet.
At first we ignored nature.
(Insert a laugh.)
Are you frowning? Protesting?
The thing is, there had been attempts to protect and rewild our forests,
lands, rivers, seas. But overall, we achieved little because corporate
and political powers always found ways to make things worse.
That’s why we decided to go straight to the roots of our problems and to
replace (are you sitting?) to replace both the corporate and the
political powers on our planet — and with did that by building and
establishing our own.
To be more precise: We build our own world to break our dependence on
those who were hellbent on destroying us and our planet.
How did we do it?
In the first wave, we set up a global, independent citizen bank with no
connection to the financial markets. The banks purpose is to facilitate
transactions and to finance our projects, namely a new internet, a new
resources and businesses network. None of our projects require
regulations because by design all our undertakings aim at balance,
empowerment, diversity, recovery, and are built not unlike the system we
find in nature. Like nature our economic system is a living, breathing,
nurturing organism.
Of course, when you drain the financial markets of 500 billion JMS,
someone will get very nervous, especially if those billions now
circulate in a world those scrupulous players have no access to, and
even worse, our 500 billion JMS finance a new economic reality with no
intention of seeping any money back into the pockets of any
exploitative, poisoning corporation.
The thing is, we were not interested in power.
We just wanted our lives and our planet back. We were sick of the
idiotic fantasies of oligarchs, and of the bleeding narratives that used
to make us compete and exhaust ourselves.
Politicians tried to stop us. But we had cunning lawyers on our side,
and soon we watched the corporations fold. Employees left in throngs to
join our businesses even before the majority of customers no longer gave
a damn about the profiteers’ products and their stupid marketing strategies.
Once we, the majority, had jobs in companies we could get behind, other
big changes got underway.
We, the people, drafted a new political system. We studied existing
political systems and made sure that none of the mess, we had
experienced on our planet, could ever happen again.
When all economic power was on our side, there was nothing our failing
and corrupt governments could do. Besides the military were with us
anyway. They were as tired of the blunders of the political classes and
the bleeding oligarchs as every one of us.
They, too, wanted peace, a
world that made sense, a world that didn’t require them to kill.
While it is true that our focus was on reshaping our global economy and
our political systems, there were groups who, throughout this period,
mapped out how and where we could rewild our planet, how our companies
could be run in a way that they restored and nurtured nature instead of
exploiting and destroying it, and groups whose sole focus was on how to
replace everything that used crude oil. And there was more.
But first we established a world economy and a partially global
political system which didn’t aim at dominance, competition, growth or
power but instead sought guardianship. Guardians over our resources.
Guardians over our welfare. Guardians over our evolution. Guardians who
initiated conversations when new discoveries called for possible
adjustments.
It was only afterwards that we, as a planet, took a break from economic
and political tasks, took a deep breath and focused on restoring our planet.
Amazingly, our changed habits, approaches and systems had already
brought back a lot of nature, and our new measures for towns and cities
reduced both heat and extreme weathers.
The years of restoration are some of the happiest in our lives. We came
together from so many different places, got rid of 75% of unnatural
pavements, 70% of fences, 97% of bare facades and roofs, restructured
our habitats to merge them with the natural world — and more.
The last wars ended in this period, which was also a time of personal
healing and finding our individual strength and joy.
Today, we look back at the world of then and wonder why we had ever
wanted to destroy our planet.
