Get ready for the future, it is murder...

I have been asked before to describe America in the future.

Here it is in a nutshell.

Man will be openly ruled by a dominant minority, with the majority of the population herded into compact cities called habitat areas. Private property and vehicle ownership will become a thing of the past, and all areas outside of these so-called "habitats" will be off-limits to everyone but the chosen few. The people will live in compact, single-dwelling housing. The overwhelming majority of people will be out of work, and money will be doled out in the form of credits. These credits will be dispensed once a week, and these credits cannot be accumulated. If you don't use those credits within the week you are granted them, they are void the following week. Those who are employed will be employed by the state as "law enforcement." The dispensing off all food and water will be under the control of the state. All dissent will be punishable by imprisonment and torture. Every movement of every man, woman and child will be tracked by an implantable chip, followed eventually by a brain chip to be connected to a centralized computer, effectively eliminating individualism and free will as we know it. Man's only purpose will be to serve the state. Women must be licensed to give birth, and every child will be bred to serve a purpose to the elite's utopian society (our enslavement). One child policy will be made mandatory. The world's population will be greatly reduced by way of famine, draught, war and plagues to a more manageable number of 500,000,000 people.

We will see this within the next 5-10 years.

I disagree.

 

scary... not sure if it'll really happen though. I won't say you're paranoid though, because I wouldn't doubt that this is exactly what the government would want.

 

1984 much?

lol

 

Reminds me of the movie Children of Men.

I disagree that this will happen, though perhaps a small minority of people will try to implement such a thing. I would think they would be smart enough to fear that the six billion odd people on this earth won't go along as quietly as they might wish, though.

For such a thing to be successfully orchestrated would take a very slow, long process, much more than five to ten years. If they indiscriminately try to round up the earth's population, haha, good luck.

 

I'm re-reading 1984 with my grandson right now, and had the same thought.

 

Well I wish they'd hurry up about it.

 

i think the point being missed here is that it doesn't have to be that overt. people are already controlled by being economically coerced into indenturing themselves for that car and house, and spun into persuing nongratifications but never given the breating space to ask themselves if their getting their stress worth out of it, nor even ever allowed to imagine that might actually FIND gratification if they weren't.

the corporate faschism we have now IS slavery now. people have been being herded into cities for most of the past century. mostly in ways entirely just below the conscous radar.

yes it is america's wiemar republic time. its the profiling of everyone with half a brain into death camps we have to look out for, which is what perpetuating the dominance of the currently dominant pseudo-conservatism is heading us streight for.

they ARE the same nuts with the swasticas, bush's possey, that used to hang out in idaho. every wonder why they aren't there any more? its because the're in d.c. running the country by way of running the corporations that have already usurped it.

the fix began with ragun, but had already been building up to it even ever since mccarthyism.

but for all the seemingly insurmontable terribleness going on with what can be seen, with what is in the news, but remember where that news is coming from, it the same corporatocracy that has usurped the government that IS the media, so effectively, really, corporate media IS government media.

let me give you some quotes from a wiser man about this stuff then i am:

UTAH PHILLIPS: I think that—I think that it’s getting—it can get as bad. I think that we’re being frog-marched into a corporate fascist takeover of the country. And no fooling, I think that we’re in the Weimar Republic. And that’s another thing that I would encourage young people to understand, what—that was Germany before the Second World War, the rise of Hitler, the rise of Nazism. Why didn’t people do anything? You know, the big question that young Germans are asking their grandparents: “Why didn’t you do something?” Read about the Weimar, compare the rise of fascism in Germany from the 1920s to what’s happening right here right now.

The long memory is the most radical idea in America. That long memory has been taken away from us. Listen, you young people I’m talking to, that long member has been taken away from you. You haven’t gotten it in your schools. You’re not getting it on your television. You’re not getting it anywhere. You’re being leapfrogged from one crisis to the next. You know, you can’t remember what happened last week, because you’re locked into this week’s crisis.
...
I don’t feel pessimistic about that at all. There’s simply too many good people right here in this room, too many good people on the street, close to the street, doing too many good things for me to afford the luxury of being pessimistic. I’m going to—I’ll tell people that tonight, damn it. I’m glad it came up. If I look at the world from the top down, from FOX, God help me, or CNN or—there ought to be a CNN Anon to ween people from that idiocy. If I look at it from the top down, I get seriously depressed. The world’s going to hell in a wheelbarrow. But if I walk out the door, turn all that off, and go with the people, whatever town I’m in, who are doing the real work down at the street level, like I said, there’s too many good people doing too many good things for me to let myself be pessimistic about that. I’m hopeful, can’t live without hope. Can you?

if anyone wants the rest of the interview, which i hope at least some of you do, it's on amy goodman's democracy now website. the interview was done in 2004, and she rebroadcast it last week as her eulogy for bruce 'u utah' phillips, who died wednesday of congestive heart failure.

I cant see this happening, why would the government want everybody to be unemployed, as with every modern society taxes need to be payed for the government to function. Also the less of a population there is the less money they get, i dont see why they would want to kill that many people, if anything like this where to happen i can imagine the lower crust of society to be killed off, old people, the unemployed, the homeless etc. Giving out food stamps and such would cost a government a lot more than the loss they would incur from so many people being unemployed and not paying taxes even if this world population was forced to work for it.
I feel things may be getting a little backwards in modern society but give it twenty years and hopefully things will change for the better as more people realize the flaws of society, some sort of global awakening or revolution is not far off on the cards i feel. I think there is only so far you can push society before they snap and revolt and there is alot more of us than people in the army and the government is quite aware of this. Overall i just cant see this scenario happening

 

If the world population was reduced to 1 million people, there'd only be 45,000 in the USA anyway.

 

ever boil lobster? if it couldn't happen it never would have. by the same token of course there's nothing inevitable about it either. remember we create the future, all of us togather, by the incentives we create by what's important to us and how we actually live. not by what we think we believe in, how we want others to see us or how we see ourselves, but how we really live and what the priorities we don't think about actually are, the kinds of incentives, when all of us added up togather, which is how that works, actually do.

Have trust in Europe and be alien country - Europe will now going to bloom - all United Nations will bring the good future. Just do not mess with army, economic expansion and take care about social relations. Not it is a passive time for US so try to take that with respect and self honour, you will never have that bad as it was after war in Europe.
Just try to learn respect to yourself. By the way - guns in people hands do not bring trust and brotherhood (I mean selfrespect). This is a people agreement. And police was created in civilian defence purpose so holding a gun is their response. If you don't have a trust in police - change the government! Thats Democracy right?

 

I suppose it's possible.....only with people like you living in America. Just joshing...sorta....fear is a terrible thing to live with.

 

To do this would take 100 years.
The logistics of what you say, are completely impossible in the time frame you give.
Great you put this out there, but it does sound like a cliche.

 

The conservatives have patience.If they can't get it done soon--it's of no consequence to them.They have children and grandchildren.They will carry on until it's accomplished.2 steps forward-1 step back.5 steps forward-3 steps back----ect-ect-ect.The movie THX-1138 may be somewhat dated,however the basic principle of total control is what these types want.I foresee the haves and their paid lackeys against us,the masses somewhere in my children's or grand children's future.Hasn't it been forever thus?

 

I'll stick my neck out and say it aint never gonna happen. EVER.
Only in the movies.

 

Lay off,smart-ass.Address the fuckin' subject.

 

Odon--has there EVER been a time in history when humans weren't killing each other and seeking power over others?Hell no.You think it's gonna change?Evil abides.

 

What we need right now is a global scale natural disaster, to cleanse the earth of at least 3 billion people. That should allow the earth to heal itself at a more rapid pace.

 

Yes, always. I'm not disputing that.
I just don't think in the next 5-10 our whole world is going to turn on a six pence, and end up as Pressed Rat has theorised. That just is not going to happen. By the year 2018, we might have to update our adobe player (to version 15); we might even have to endure another Die hard film; we might even have another catastrophic natural disaster, somewhere in the world. I jut don't foresee the world altering that much, in such a short period of time. Neither do I think some so called "conservatives' have a Machiavellian plot, that they are unfolding over x amount of years. The world is too complex for anything like that to occur. Even "themnax" with one foot in reality, is a little too hyperbolic, as well. With ideas such as: "profiling of everyone with half a brain into death camps" -and anybody that compares the current day, with Nazi Germany, has lost the argument already IMO.
