The 1877 Predicament
|
AND HERE IT IS...
|
1877:
Cecil Rhodes,
"Confession of Faith"
[SAC editor has added bold face and hypertext links]
Rhodes originally wrote this on June 2, 1877, in Oxford. Later, that year in Kimberley, he made some additions and changes. What follows is that amended statement. The spelling and grammar errors were in the original.
It often strikes a man to inquire what is the chief good in life; to one the thought comes that it is a happy marriage, to another great wealth, and as each seizes on his idea, for that he more or less works for the rest of his existence. To myself thinking over the same question the wish came to render myself useful to my country. I then asked myself how could I and after reviewing the various methods I have felt that at the present day we are actually limiting our children and perhaps bringing into the world half the human beings we might owing to the lack of country for them to inhabit that if we had retained America there would at this moment be millions more of English living. I contend that we are the finest race in the world and that the more of the world we inhabit the better it is for the human race. Just fancy those parts that are at present inhabited by the most despicable specimens of human beings what an alteration there would be if they were brought under Anglo-Saxon influence, look again at the extra employment a new country added to our dominions gives. I contend that every acre added to our territory means in the future birth to some more of the English race who otherwise would not be brought into existence. Added to this the absorption of the greater portion of the world under our rule simply means the end of all wars, at this moment had we not lost America I believe we could have stopped the Russian-Turkish war by merely refusing money and supplies. Having these ideas what scheme could we think of to forward this object. I look into history and I read the story of the Jesuits I see what they were able to do in a bad cause and I might say under bad leaders.
At the present day I become a member of the Masonic order I see the wealth and power they possess the influence they hold and I think over their ceremonies and I wonder that a large body of men can devote themselves to what at times appear the most ridiculous and absurd rites without an object and without an end.
The idea gleaming and dancing before ones eyes like a will-of-the-wisp at last frames itself into a plan. Why should we not form a secret society with but one object the furtherance of the British Empire and the bringing of the whole uncivilised world under British rule for the recovery of the United States for the making the Anglo-Saxon race but one Empire. What a dream, but yet it is probable, it is possible. I once heard it argued by a fellow in my own college, I am sorry to own it by an Englishman, that it was good thing for us that we have lost the United States. There are some subjects on which there can be no arguments, and to an Englishman this is one of them, but even from an American’s point of view just picture what they have lost, look at their government, are not the frauds that yearly come before the public view a disgrace to any country and especially their’s which is the finest in the world. Would they have occurred had they remained under English rule great as they have become how infinitely greater they would have been with the softening and elevating influences of English rule, think of those countless 000’s of Englishmen that during the last 100 years would have crossed the Atlantic and settled and populated the United States. Would they have not made without any prejudice a finer country of it than the low class Irish and German emigrants? All this we have lost and that country loses owing to whom? Owing to two or three ignorant pig-headed statesmen of the last century, at their door lies the blame. Do you ever feel mad? do you ever feel murderous. I think I do with those men. I bring facts to prove my assertion. Does an English father when his sons wish to emigrate ever think of suggesting emigration to a country under another flag, never—it would seem a disgrace to suggest such a thing I think that we all think that poverty is better under our own flag than wealth under a foreign one.
Put your mind into another train of thought. Fancy Australia discovered and colonised under the French flag, what would it mean merely several millions of English unborn that at present exist we learn from the past and to form our future. We learn from having lost to cling to what we possess. We know the size of the world we know the total extent. Africa is still lying ready for us it is our duty to take it. It is our duty to seize every opportunity of acquiring more territory and we should keep this one idea steadily before our eyes that more territory simply means more of the Anglo-Saxon race more of the best the most human, most honourable race the world possesses.
To forward such a scheme what a splendid help a secret society would be a society not openly acknowledged but who would work in secret for such an object.
I contend that there are at the present moment numbers of the ablest men in the world who would devote their whole lives to it. I often think what a loss to the English nation in some respects the abolition of the Rotten Borough System has been. What thought strikes a man entering the house of commons, the assembly that rule the whole world? I think it is the mediocrity of the men but what is the cause. It is simply—an assembly of wealth of men whose lives have been spent in the accumulation of money and whose time has been too much engaged to be able to spare any for the study of past history. And yet in hands of such men rest our destinies. Do men like the great Pitt, and Burke and Sheridan not now to exist. I contend they do. There are men now living with I know no other term the [Greek term] of Aristotle but there are not ways for enabling them to serve their Country. They live and die unused unemployed. What has the main cause of the success of the Romish Church? The fact that every enthusiast, call it if you like every madman finds employment in it. Let us form the same kind of society a Church for the extension of the British Empire. A society which should have members in every part of the British Empire working with one object and one idea we should have its members placed at our universities and our schools and should watch the English youth passing through their hands just one perhaps in every thousand would have the mind and feelings for such an object, he should be tried in every way, he should be tested whether he is endurant, possessed of eloquence, disregardful of the petty details of life, and if found to be such, then elected and bound by oath to serve for the rest of his life in his County. He should then be supported if without means by the Society and sent to that part of the Empire where it was felt he was needed.
Take another case, let us fancy a man who finds himself his own master with ample means of attaining his majority whether he puts the question directly to himself or not, still like the old story of virtue and vice in the Memorabilia a fight goes on in him as to what he should do. Take if he plunges into dissipation there is nothing too reckless he does not attempt but after a time his life palls on him, he mentally says this is not good enough, he changes his life, he reforms, he travels, he thinks now I have found the chief good in life, the novelty wears off, and he tires, to change again, he goes into the far interior after the wild game he thinks at last I’ve found that in life of which I cannot tire, again he is disappointed. He returns he thinks is there nothing I can do in life? Here I am with means, with a good house, with everything that is to be envied and yet I am not happy I am tired of life he possesses within him a portion of the [Greek term] of Aristotle but he knows it not, to such a man the Society should go, should test, and should finally show him the greatness of the scheme and list him as a member.
Take one more case of the younger son with high thoughts, high aspirations, endowed by nature with all the faculties to make a great man, and with the sole wish in life to serve his Country but he lacks two things the means and the opportunity, ever troubled by a sort of inward deity urging him on to high and noble deeds, he is compelled to pass his time in some occupation which furnishes him with mere existence, he lives unhappily and dies miserably. Such men as these the Society should search out and use for the furtherance of their object.
(In every Colonial legislature the Society should attempt to have its members prepared at all times to vote or speak and advocate the closer union of England and the colonies, to crush all disloyalty and every movement for the severance of our Empire. The Society should inspire and even own portions of the press for the press rules the mind of the people. The Society should always be searching for members who might by their position in the world by their energies or character forward the object but the ballot and test for admittance should be severe)
Once make it common and it fails. Take a man of great wealth who is bereft of his children perhaps having his mind soured by some bitter disappointment who shuts himself up separate from his neighbours and makes up his mind to a miserable existence. To such men as these the society should go gradually disclose the greatness of their scheme and entreat him to throw in his life and property with them for this object. I think that there are thousands now existing who would eagerly grasp at the opportunity. Such are the heads of my scheme.
For fear that death might cut me off before the time for attempting its development I leave all my worldly goods in trust to S. G. Shippard and the Secretary for the Colonies at the time of my death to try to form such a Society with such an object.
A LOT of what is said here is only a little of what actually happened.
___________________________________
On September 19, 1877, Rhodes drafted his first will; at that time, he had an estate of only about £10,000. (Although he changed his will quite a number of times in years following, the objective remained the same. After his death, the directors of the Rhodes Trust set up the Rhodes Scholarships as the best way to achieve his objectives.) The first clause of the 1877 will bequeathed his wealth as follows:
To and for the establishment, promotion and development of a Secret Society, the true aim and object whereof shall be for the extension of British rule throughout the world, the perfecting of a system of emigration from the United Kingdom, and of colonisation by British subjects of all lands where the means of livelihood are attainable by energy, labour and enterprise, and especially the occupation by British settlers of the entire Continent of Africa, the Holy Land, the Valley of the Euphrates, the Islands of Cyprus and Candia, the whole of South America, the Islands of the Pacific not heretofore possessed by Great Britain, the whole of the Malay Archipelago, the seaboard of China and Japan, the ultimate recovery of the United States of America as an integral part of the British Empire, the inauguration of a system of Colonial representation in the Imperial Parliament which may tend to weld together the disjointed members of the Empire and, finally, the foundation of so great a Power as to render wars impossible and promote the best interests of humanity.

How to Rewild the planet- An Introduction Monologue
Wednesday, 20 July 2022
WHAT CAUSES CLIMATE CHANGE ?
Carl Sagan said…"Venus has 90 times the amount of CO2 gases in the atmosphere as Earth does."
His whole argument was based on the greenhouse effect (GHE) of particles reflecting heat thereby causing rising temperatures. Carbon like water vapour ,methane and others has 3 particles instead of two so floats around in the air like an invisible cloak.
But he was wrong.
(1985 ) congressional hearing )
in truth CO2 is 90 times as THICK. He left out that important word...
" thick "
By misdirecting or lying to congress he set off a chain of events by being “ economical with the truth “ …its around 256000 times the amount.
There is NO WAY IN HELL 0.038 % of a particular gas can cause this climate change.
none. whatsoever.
Climate change is caused by a MULTIPLE of factors.
Chief amongst this is solar radiation from solar storms. Which has nothing to do with Man.
The GH effect is another factor.
A very important one.
The reflection of solar radiation on the Earths surface has got more to do with water vapour than it has to do with co2 floating around ...
in truth...
An absence of evaporation and EVAPOTRANSPIRATION causes wind, rainfall and weather patterns to change.
This impacts the entirecplanet and as a result of not maintaining the Equilibrium as we humans should do. the icecap melts..
temperatures rise due to whats going on with our sun....(and there is little we can do about that right now- except build fusion reactors on the moon and waste causing industries that destroy our air and water quality ..)
infra red in cities for example is higher than in the countryside ....why ? its not just CO2 .. its because when you use existing building materials you increaee infra red . Its a fact .
Temperatures in cities are higher. More solar aggradisation from reflective heat rays. The tilt of Earths axis and its magnetic field reduces the impact of solar radiation. People also talk about global warming .. but what about global dimming ? the future of the cities on Earth is in micro comunities. Decentralised. We can also create micro climates by increadibg ground cover. And by the way.. in the last 50 years the only two forests that have increaed significantly are the Congo and Israel. China is one of the only countries to recognise the beed to reclaim deserts. And in the Gobi they have been very successful in turning sand to soil.
Rising land tempetatures are caused by a lack of evapotranspiration that creates fresh water through rainfall. Our oceans are water... sea water. yet they become clouds and are blown by trade winds onto the land. Understanding the delicate balance of our planet requires a multidisciplinary appeiach.
Its NOT one factor alone but many factors that create the critical mass of climate change.
Above all we need brave scientists to speak up and not tow the party line just to get funding. And politicians. And business people.
what is happening now is as a result of centuries of defirestration and spil degradation by unfettered capitalism. That must change.
-and whats going on in our tiny atmospehere.
OUR EARTH needs more plants. Its as simple as that. And we need to retool our industries that have a negative impact on himan healty and wellbeing. And consime less.
This is the uncomfortable truth. But it is also a very exciting opportunity to be part of too.
I CALL IT : " THE GREEN ABSOLUTION !"
and this will stop temperatures rising too fast. this will stop climate change.
" environomism "
Too liitle moisture causes temperatures to rise. Too much pollutants cause temperatures to rise ( but its a very small factor ).
The rising temperatures are caused by changing wind patterns which is indirectly causes by whats going on in our centres of moisture creation eg the amazon and the congo.. the lungs of the planet. And the depletion of algae causescby coral.bleaching and ocean aciifucation ... another factor we should discuss in depth. But even rain .. falls on oceans. less rain.. a different PH.
and thats why rainforests are so important.
I learned this way back in 1992. So its not news. I learned it by visiting the INPA institute in Manaus and connecting the dots.
( get my book : how to rewild the planet )
Changing patterns is caused largely by human impact on our rainforests and the desertification of our soils by various factors eg monoculture and over use of pesticides.
it all comes down to ONE word..
evapotranspiration.
Soil requires around 3 % to be sustainable. That 3 % comes from plant and animal matter- thats why its better not to be cremated.
The majority of it has become degraded due to our OVER consumption and bad business practices and wrong science.
This is the main cause of high temperatures on Earth.
Bad science.Bad economic philosophy. Bad media. Bad laws. Bad ideology.
misguided people.
The Equilibrium of this biosphere requires a fresh approach to understand climate change.
if we are to create a concerted effort to rebalance the Earth and to STOP CLIMATE CHANGE.. we need to be truthseekers once again.
Spending billions for a misguided agenda birthed by Carl Sagan.. then Al Gore.. then Greta..
its time to change the record.
Not the same old discredited stories we see in COP. year after year since the Earth Summit in 1992.
(by the way most of the above proponents live near the Ocean.. in million dollar mansions. )
The climate change "mafia" need to start singing from a different hymn sheet and open up this subject to wide public discourse and debate.
For example :
To reclaim deserts by mass planting of carbon sequestrative plants such as hemp, liquorice and trees; and the replacement of Super High Impact Technologies
-( s. h. i. t .) such as fossil fuels, cement, plastics and steel with plant based tek.
This is the way of the future.
it can be done. But we need to start doing it now.
for example using blockchain tek to decarbonise the atmosohere.
for example to replace high impact with low impact tek.
for example by uniting open up Africa and the Global South to this MULTI trillion dollar NEW ECONOMY industry.
for example by making poverty history.
for example by holding every government to account. including the USA , RUSSIA, IRAN ,NIGERIA, SOUTH AFRICA , TURKEY and China and North Korea.
NOBODY is excluded from international justice and universal human rights
for example by putting science and politicians on the spot. asking hard questions.
for example by investing in low impact cargo vehicles to distribute seeds and supplies. We have designs already for this .
We need to question pseudo scientists such as Carl Sagan , David Attenborough and others who create political agendas to sway us all from discovering the truth about climate change.
And doing something real and honest about it.
we can change some things and mitigate what will happen in the future. But honestly. And universally. These answers must come from the bottom up through practical application of fundamental truths that cause our species to thrive together.
Currently, New Delhi is suffering from a plague of cancer caused by poor air quality. That can change. And it must.
Getting distracted and not sorting out this planet properly is worse than anything.
Its time consuming and LIFE wasting. it must end. As well as this unipolar politique. we are omnipolar. not eight. not left. but everything.
Combating just Co2 is like only sweeping a corner of the room BUT leaving the rest dirty. .. its not holistic in its approach.
We need to GROW 2 earn. we beed to grow both in knowledge, understanding and wisdom when it comes to climate change or we shall die of ignorance.
awoosha.io / the rewilding project. / earthoceans.org/ synergiehub.ch/ solidarity.fm
for example ...
To do that we must legalise industrial hemp. STEP ONE. Globally. permit free.
Reverse the 1961 and any other subsequent motions and laws passed by a misguided illegitimate UN...and other august bodies. Switzerland only became part of the UN 20 years ago.
meaning well but doing badly.
Reward ethical behavior by at least gamifying agriculture in the NEW economy. Blockchain decarbonisation by linking it to replanting the Earth.
because to STOP CLIMATE CHANGE we need more EVAPOTRANSPIRATION and more plant and animal.matterbin the soil. Its logic. And hemp by the way sequstrates 4 times the amount of CO2 as trees.
True biodiversity reqyires us to RECLAIM.the deserts and increase not just lateally but also VERTICALLY our Earth covers. This will reverse the negative impact we are creating. It doesnt stop solar storms from happening.. but it manages our own atmosphere correctly and ensepity for all. This is the aim of the REAL rewilding project.
AI will do a lot but we need to also programme the algorithms.
We need to redefine value itself and go in another direction as the human race.
A sustainable future first and foremost requires honesty and transparency.
We cannot allow exclusive clubs suchbas COP and DAVOS to dictate the agenda.
If you have simething to say... now is the rime to say it.
the biggest danger to humanity is humanity itself. not climate change.
lets start by getting this right.
lets start turning the drserts green again.

NIHILISM- TO BE OR NOT TO BE!....
I mean, it must be high or low
That is, you can't, you know, tune in but it's all right
That is, I think it's not too bad
'Cause I'm going to strawberry fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry fields forever
Misunderstanding all you see
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out
It doesn't matter much to me
'Cause I'm going to strawberry fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry fields forever
But you know I know when it's a dream
I think I know, I mean a... yes
But it's all wrong
That is, I think I disagree
'Cause I'm going to strawberry fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry fields forever
Strawberry fields forever
