In 1215 King John was forced by rebellious barons to sign the Magna
Carta - the big paper - restricting the rights of the King and giving
rights to individuals.

The barons of the 21st century must be the 9.5 million High Net Worth
individuals who control $32 trillion in wealth throughout the world.
All these individuals making their money in a free global market, have
common interests and emerging political paradigms. None are well
served by war. None are well served by excessive taxation. None are
well served by tortuous government interference in their affairs. For
this reason I believe the time is right to call out to these modern
day barons to force the modern King Johns, the national governments,
to give up certain rights they now abrogate to themselves. These
include, the right to wage war, the right to tax beyond the Schumpeter
limit, and the right to interfere in the affairs of anyone. These
simple rights and their enforcement will free these individuals to
enjoy their wealth and allow others to create more besides.

Since 2015 is the 100th anniversary of the Manga Carta, lets see if we
can get the governments to agree in principal by this date to agree to
these three restrictions on their power.

Renounce the right to wage war - Japan did this and become one of the
wealthiest nations on Earth by investing the money saved in
modernizing their industry and improving their education system.
Switzerland has renounced war for 1,000 years - and as a result, one
of the wealthiest nations on Earth. This is the first rule of
responsible government - do not kill your citizens or cause them to be
killed or to kill others.

Renounce the right to levy taxes beyond the Schumpeter limit - The
Asian tigers did this and became the fastest growing economies in the
world. All nations that control their spending are wealthier than
nations that do not. This is the second rule of responsible
government - do no bankrupt your citizens.

Renounce the right to tortuously interfere with the lives of others -
Nations that restrict or do not have intelligence operations are more
peaceful and better places to live than nations that have such
operations. This is the third rule of responsible government - do not
lie to your citizens.

That should be 800 years not 100 - don't know how that got changed..
and one final observation;

A true king is not the one with the most subjects, but the one who
leads the most to royalty.

A true leader is not the one with the most followers but the one who
creates the most leaders.

A true teacher is not one with the most knowledge, but the one who
brings the greatest learning to the most ignorant.

Those who have accumulated the most individual wealth in the world, by
and large, with few exceptions have done so by creating wealth and
benefit for others. It is time they awoke and demanded that their
kings, their leaders and their teachers do as much - since they're
paying for 90% of verything anyway.- Hide quoted text -

Today the true king or warlord in charge is obviously the one that can
best snooker us while lying his infomercial spewing *** off, and
getting away with it. After all, look how far Hitler got with just
the puppeteering expertise of those smart Zion Yids, as without their
smarts and command over their very own minions he wouldn't have
achieved 10% of what took place.

Your "90% of everything" simply needs to become upward adjusted to 99%
of everything, because that's what the vast majority of what us
village idiots are in one way or another accomplishing on their
behalf.

Actually Less than 0.1% of humanity is fully in charge of and directly
benefits from all the rest of our learned expertise and hard earned
loot, and by far these rich and powerful have also taken the most of
global energy, food and technology resources. In some places it as
little as .01% that's in charge, and of those being the most wealthy
and powerful is directly because of that ratio having been the case.

All we have to do in order to get much of anything accomplished for
the greater good of humanity and our badly failing environment is to
insure that the rich and powerful keep getting their usual 99% fair
share of the loot in exchange for their doings and/or expertise of
damn near nothing.

As long as such rich and powerful folks are in charge of interpreting
the past and present, pretty much insures that the future is always
going to be interpreted in their favor, as well as for otherwise
taking the fullest faith-based puppeteering advantage of all that's
within their scope, of which we common folk are not entitled no
matters how much we've directly contributed to those solutions.

In order to alter or moderate this ongoing fiasco will demand that the
whole truth and nothing but the truth get told, and that we focus our
best talents and affordably accessible resources upon the most
obtainable goals, instead of our having to *** protect and reinforce
upon the past so that the status quo future only insures that the rich
and powerful remain in charge.

Obtaining large amounts of renewable clean energy is simply one of the
most essential basics, as without such energy that's made affordable
and in good enough supply, we're screwed. Getting the most of clean
energy per given amount of fossil and even yellowcake fuel is also
another fundamental essential part of that solution, as well as on
behalf of salvaging what's left of our badly failing environment
that's only going to get pushed to the outer limits as humanity
populates and continually consumes damn near everything in sight, as
well as for taking much of what's out of our sight until it's too late
to recover from such arrogance, greed and corruption that leaves our
environment gasping for clean air and clean water in order to stay the
course and sustain their status quo.

The world's 6.8 billion people produce $65 trillion of wealth each
year. The US population of 300 million produce $12 trillion of this.
The world consumes $3.2 trillion worth of food. The US consumers $1.0
trillion of this total. The world consumes $2.0 trillion worth of
energy. The US consumes $550 billion of this total. There are 9.5
million millionaires in the world today, less than half of them reside
in the US. Together they control $32 trillion. Most of this is
liquid. There are fewer than 700 billionaires in the world. Fewer
than half of these reside in the US. Together the billionaires
control $2.2 trillion. The population of millionaires and
billionaires are growing at double digit rates!! They're the fastest
growing economic group on the planet.

Sociologically, wealth is spread over a greater number of people more
evenly than at any other time in human history. That is, all of the
millionaires in the world together have demanded only 6 months of
labor from our entire working life. Contrast this with earlier ages
and you will see that their accumulations of wealth are easily borne
by humanity, and their contributions in terms of intellectual property
and management skills, more than pay for their consumption.

The real burden on humanity is excessive taxation and government
intervention in the business cycle. Granted there are legitimate
third party issues that government must address. But excessive
taxation - as defined by Schumpeter - and tortuous interference in the
name of politics - is the biggest burden on the human race. Nearly
2/3 of humanity's output is directed toward paying for government
programs or paying for government mandated programs. This leaves but
1/3 of human activity to pay for the actual output.

Once governments agree not to kill people, not to over-tax people, and
not to lie to people, a rational collection of governments that are
free from corruption and military expenditures would consume only 1/4
of all human wealth, and return a large portion of that to benefit the
communities in which they operate. Nations who have adopted policies
that avoid war, avoid over-taxation, and avoid disinformation, have
lower tax rates, more peaceful existences, greater rates of capital
formation, and better living conditions than the rest of the world -
despite their not having substantial resources or natural advantages.
(for example, Japan and Switzerland)
