The Global Bankers and Me

" Good evening gentlemen, at last we meet. I am so honored to bask in the presence of your company. Meeting all of you global bankers has always been my fantasy, so seeing you all before me now is rather difficult to believe, it's as if I am still in a state of disbelief." One, then a few attempted to leave. "No worries gentlemen, all exits are secured electronically, so that we do not receive any pesky interruptions from anybody." Some took out their phone and started shouting, "Security! Security!" "Your phones and devices won't work either," I said to everyone. "Without going into detail as to how, I have cut off all of your communications. I apologize for all of this drama everyone, but I am totally useless without a captive audience. There is so much all of you and I have to discuss, so please have a seat gentlemen so we can progress, but before I begin, I have a gift for all of you." That's when I revealed the bomb beneath my three piece suite. I took out a remote and pressed down on the button with my thumb, which released a loud electronic sound startling everyone. "If I release this at any time, well then gentlemen, all of you and I, in one word, are all going to go BOOM! You and I have a lot, and I mean a lot of negotiating, so please all have a seat so we can all cordially begin." "What do you want?" one asked me nervously. "I thought you would never ask." I responded sarcastically. "What I first want is to not give this button its final release, but in truth, I want all of your help most sincerely. I want to live in a world without any poor, and no middle class or skunks like you anymore. What I want is no unemployment, no homelessness, crime or poverty, and no more wars or politics or currency, But No Scarcity. I want to live in a world where everyone is provided all of their needs, without a price tag, Absolutely Free. I want a world full of mega machines equipped with A I technology, performing all those laborious jobs worked tirelessly and dangerously. I want a world where the only work that anyone would do, is whatever it is that they passionately choose, a world where a higher and greater education is available to everyone, absolutely free without any tuition, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, life choice or religion. I want a world that is absolutely completely crime free, without the need for crime, prisons, police or military, because everyone is provided everything that they need. What I want is a world in perfect harmony, with Nature and all of our most greatest of technologies, no more pollution, no global warming, I want earth's restoration entirely. I want a world without any lawyers, businessmen or self serving politicians, because computers can very easily govern a unified global government. I want a world whose resources are managed intelligently, and distributed to everybody globally efficiently. In short gentlemen, I want a global Resource Based Economy." "What do we get out of this?" one asked with dagger eyes at me." "I would like all of you to imagine something, please. Imagine how so much enhanced your own lives would be. No bars on your windows, no attack dogs patrolling your yards, no more twenty four hour private security guards. All of you are living lives of constant fear, of losing your wealth and power that you hold so dear. When was the last time any of you, walked the streets freely in a moment of true solitude, without feeling fearful of somebody kidnapping you, and holding you for ransom possibly, or even worse, getting assassinated by someone, well, someone like me? Without anymore of that fear haunting you, you can finally be, truly liberated and as free as you can possibly be, and not give up any of your comforts that you enjoy presently. It is a solution that will work for everybody, even all of you now seated here before me." The Rockefellers were the first to fully fund the first experimental city, then the Morgens and the Rothschilds got involved overseas. All of the global bankers eventually, threw all of their support to launch a global Resource Based Economy, and then in only ten years, Ten Years Only, I found myself at the dawn of a truly civilized society. I got close with the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds eventually, and then one evening David Rockefeller asked of me, "What if we had said No, what if we all had disagreed, to help launch a global Resource Based Economy? Would you have really blown yourself and all of us up to smithereens?" "Can you keep a secret?" I asked sheepishly, "There was never any bomb, never any. The bomb I was wearing was an absolute fake. I'm too much of a coward to actually go out that way." "You're insane. You realize that don't you?" he jokingly said, then we both hopped into his flying car and painted the town red. * KIDSTER DISCLAIMER I do not in any way encourage anyone, to partake in an attempt of such an insane operation, and so I assume no responsibility for any ill intended actions, by any who may have seen this little write as a source of inspiration, because quite frankly, I can not police everyone. The above is plain and simply a work of fiction.
