15 years later
The basic contents
of this site
were written in around
2000.
In 2010 some data
was added just
on the course of the
global economy.
In 2016, this
chapter "15 years later"
has been added together
with two sections
entitled "What
to do?"and
"Democracy".
The reason for
this, is that in the main
text there was an
attempt in some way
to predict the development
of our society,
namely that the upcoming
end of capitalism
will be accompanied by
war.
The 15 years that
have passed, are probably long
enough for us to say
whether our predictions were
correct or whether we
should modify them.
Well
then, there is no
need
to change anything.
The fact that our
system is heading
towards its end, is
confirmed every day.
The short local
wars, which were designed at the end of the last century to support the system,
extend further and last
longer, while at the same time the intent to instigate a very big war is
becoming increasingly
apparent.
‒ Why then should these extra entries be
added?
It is rather from
a sense of responsibility
to the readers of this
site.
Although this
website isn't advertised anywhere, it has
through the years kept
a more or less constant number
of interested readers.
We have about
3,000 to 5,000 hits per month
from 70 countries
around the world.
Obviously our
readers themselves
have undertaken this
advertising.
They find the
content interesting and recommend
the site to friends and
acquaintances.
This however is of
particular importance.
In a time where
people are accustomed to thinking as little
as possible (because
the system we live in prohibits thinking,
since thought is the
only force that threatens it) there are some
people who have this
special ability to think.
And they are not
content just with this, they
pass on the information
about this site to others.
They want to make
other people think also.
They are thus already
working actively against the system.
We
can have confidence in
the
power of capable people.
People who are
able to think systematically, analytically and constructively
and are not afraid to
accept the results imposed by logic.
People who are
experts, who have profound knowledge and skills in their
profession, the science
or the art that they serve and at the
same time are of the
highest moral standing.
People who are
willing to mess with the powerful when it comes to defending
what is logical,
ethical and right.
These
are the people who can prevent
the
disaster, and they seem to represent
the
majority of our readers.
And in these
difficult times a particularly heavy
responsibility falls on
their shoulders.
We have no one
else to rely on.
When they contact
each other,
they can organise the
resistance.
If there is one
road to salvation, it will
not be automatically
applied or imposed
by some external
forces,
it
can only be the result of cooperation
between
our most capable people,
our
best ones.
If they do not do
it, who will?
Will it be perhaps
the indifferent consumers who are convinced
that they live in the best possible system that will last forever and
whose only aim is to provide them with more and more goods?
