Introduction
This book will attempt to give a general outline of the centralized socio-economic
system of control, wielded by a small and powerful global oligarchy, which is enslaving
the vast majority of humanity and is attempting to completely destroy free will of the
individual. It will also attempt to offer some information, ideas, and knowledge about
some possible solutions that may be used to build a different socio-economic paradigm.
The object of the new paradigm will have a main focus of bringing more power and
freedom to the individual, while simultaneously taking power away from the centralized
system of the oligarchy. The end result of such changes, it is this author’s opinion,
should be to have many unique localized systems across the globe. It is up to each
individual to decide on what these systems will be and how much those systems interact
with each other, based on voluntary association.
It must be noted here that, by no stretch of the imagination, should this writing be
considered comprehensive regarding the problems facing humanity. Nor should it be
thought to contain all the solutions. It is simply a small contribution to the never ending
struggle for freedom, offered to the human race, in hopes of a better future. It is the hope
of this author that billions of individuals around the world will make their own efforts, in
their own way, to gain more freedom and prosperity. If some of those people wish to use
the information in this book to help achieve something to those ends, then it would be of
the highest honor to the author.
This writing will answer some questions regarding the current state of human
affairs, but it will raise a far greater number of questions. An important task is also to
show the what, when, where, who, how, and why of each main aspect of the topics
discussed in each chapter. However, I will try to focus more on the what, why, and how.
I feel these are more important aspects due to the fact that they are concerned with ideas
and the implementation of those ideas. The time, the people, and the places change, but
the ideas and their implementation are timeless, invincible, and non-spatial. Therefore, it
is more important to focus on solutions which diverge in many directions from the
oligarchy’s chosen path for humanity. The best way I can see to do this is to focus on
what needs to be done, why it needs to be done, and how it can be implemented.
The organization of this book will generally be as follows. A general statement of
a problem will be made. Secondly, important details regarding the root cause and the
effects of the problem will be written about. The next part will be concerning solutions.
Lastly, where applicable, current or past examples of solutions will be given. The reader
is encouraged to formulate questions regarding everything in this book. Only by asking
questions can one find answers and possible solutions. Please be aware that this book is
not intended to be extremely detailed. However, it will offer links to many other sources
for further information and knowledge on the subjects concerned. It is not intended to
overwhelm the reader with too many details and too much data. It will be written in as
simple a manner as possible, so as to be easy to understand. Only the root principles of
the subjects at hand will be dealt with. It is up to the reader to expand their research in
the future.

Before delving into solving all of the world’s problems, two possible futures will
be contrasted by way of fictional short stories. The first story will portray a typical life in
a future society completely controlled by the oligarchy. The second story will be about a
possible life in a future society of self-governing individuals who live by voluntary
association.

The Story of John Doe 2.0
John Doe 2.0 is born. His blood is immediately taken at birth and electronic
records are created. Shortly thereafter, his hand and footprints are taken and a birth
certificate is issued.
John’s parents are divorced and have very little influence on his early years. By
age 2 he receives a brain chip, as all members of the collective are required to do. He
begins preschool at age 3. John is given many vaccines throughout his childhood which
cause him to be chronically ill. He takes many standardized tests during his school years.
He also is asked many personal questions by his teachers and school counselors over the
years. A psychological profile is stored electronically by the state run school. Privacy
does not exist.
John graduates from high school and wants to become a robotics engineer. He
fails a standardized college entrance test and goes to a large state university to study
business instead. He graduates in four years with a degree in security management. He
is unemployed for one year following college because the global economy is in bad
shape. The global government says that the economy is improving and that soon the
unemployment problem will be fixed. John finally lands a management job at a regional
drone maintenance center on the Eastern Continent.
He lives alone in a small apartment in an overcrowded city. He wants to have
children, but the global government bioethics department didn’t approve him for
reproduction. The food he eats is chemically synthesized by the World Food
Department. His rations usually last the whole month, but sometimes not. The
centralized power grid rations power and occassionally there are blackouts for a few
hours.
Throughout his life, data is gathered and stored about John. A brain chip keeps a
record of his thoughts. All of his phone calls, emails, and text messages are stored in a
database. His complete internet history is recorded. All of John’s electronic financial
transactions, buying patterns, and health records are stored electronically and added to
his profile. A smart meter and smart appliances keep data on John’s power usage and
make sure he doesn’t exceed his carbon limit. Drones fly over his apartment every hour
to survey the surrounding area. When John drives to work, his car records everything
inside and outside the vehicle. Walking down the street, John is carefully watched by
cameras on every block. With all of this information, the Department of Homeland
Security keeps a profile of John Doe 2.0 constantly updated. The computers at the
Threat Fusion Center in John’s local area use this profile to see if John is a threat. He is
not a threat, the computer decides, because John has never once complained about his
6
7
lack of privacy. He has never spoken a negative word about the authoritarian
surveillance state.
John rarely sees his family and never talks to his neighbors. He passes his free
time with digital entertainment. By age 40, he takes pills to enhance his mood. By age
50, he has cancer. By age 55, John Doe 2.0 is dead. A death certificate is issued. His
family inherits a small amount of money from him. The state takes 90% of the money
via an inheritance tax and a death tax.
The Story of John Freeman
John Freeman is born. The doctor in his family’s neighborhood delivers him. His
parents are happy to have another member of their family, now with three children. He
is not given any vaccines, so he is in good health. He has a wonderful childhood, always
learning about the world around him, asking questions, free to indulge his curiosity. His
parents have different jobs to supply the needs of the family. They manufacture various
parts for low-cost energy generators with their 3D printer. They also teach philosophy
and conversational Chinese a few hours a week. This allows them ample time to
educate John at home.
By age 14, John already is making improvments to his parents manufacturing
business. Within the following ten years, he contributes greatly to a voluntary
partnership that is working on a mission to Alpha Centauri and also has plenty of time
for his wife and children. Food is always plentiful due to the abundance of small farms
that most people have on their private property. Crime still exists, but is rare due to the
prevalence of self-defense devices, which are easy to obtain. People are free to drive
their cars, start businesses, sell their own wares, trade between neighbors and with
people of other nations freely, and all without permission from a bureaucratic state
agency.
John has good relationships with many individuals in his community. They’re
often getting together to drink some coffee and bounce ideas off of each other. The
community he lives in has great relations with thousands of others around the world via
high tech communications networks and a mryiad of commerce systems. People
organize to build new infrastructure as it becomes necessary. There are a wide array of
energy production technologies. Life isn’t perfect, but a great amount of freedom and
autonomy exists.
Mr. Freeman lives to the ripe old age of 101. He has 5 children, 15 grandchildren,
and 30 great-grandchildren. John dies peacefully in his sleep. In the days following his
passing, his family and many members of the local community gather to pay their
respects and celebrate the wonderful life he lived for so long.

It is necessary to offer some definitions of key words before delving into the
subjects at hand. Since definitions can be a bit lengthy, only partial amounts of text have
been copied here in order to best provide what the author believes is an accurate
description of the words at hand. Lastly, I will give my own definition.
Definition of Terms
Freedom - The condition of being free of restraints, especially the ability to act without
control or interference by another or by circumstance (from thefreedictionary.com)
The state of being free; liberty; self-determination; absence of restraint; the opposite of
slavery. The power of acting, in the character of a moral personality, according to the
dictates of the will, without other check, hindrance, or prohibition than such as may be
imposed by just and necessary laws and the duties of social life. (from
thelawdictionary.org)
My definition of freedom - The ability to think and act without hindrance from other
humans or anything made by man.
Oligarchy - Government by a few, especially by a small faction of persons or families.
Those making up such a government. (from thefreedictionary.com)
A form of government wherein the administration of affairs is lodged in the hands of a
few persons. (from thelawdictionary.org)
My definition of oligarchy – A group of people who share and work towards an agenda
of governance over individuals.
It must be noted here that “the oligarchy” will be used throughout this book when
referring to what others might call the New World Order, the global elite, the
corporatocracy, the ruling class, the ruling elite, the scientific dictatorship, the globalists,
the global cabal, amongst others. To the author, these terms are interchangeable, but for
the sake of simplicity, only “the oligarchy” will be used throughout this writing.
Free will - The ability to make a choice without coercion (from thefreedictionary.com)
the ability to act and make choices independent of any outside influence (from
dictionary.cambridge.org)
My definition of free will - I find these two definitions to have a good summation of
what I know free will to be. To the first definition, I would add ‘to act’ because a choice
without action would be ineffective. To the second definition, I would add ‘conscious’ to
8
9
outside influence. For example, imagine you are walking to the supermarket and come
across a dog. The dog bites you, thus stopping you from going to the supermarket. The
dog is not consciously attempting to stop you from performing your action. However, if
you’re driving to the supermarket, get stopped at a checkpoint, and are sent home by the
security personnel because of some type of government regulation, then your free will
has been stripped from you. The security guard has consciously stopped you from an
action, regardless of any argument you make of the necessity or logic behind your
attempted action. My own definition of free will is thus:
The ability to act or make choices without conscious outside influence, prohibition, or
coercion.
Government - The exercise of political authority over the actions, affairs, etc.
of a political unit,people, etc,
The political direction and control exercised over the actions of the members, citizens, or
inhabitants of communities, societies, and states; direction of the affairs of a community,
etc. direction; control; management.(from thefreedictionary.com)
My definition of government – The monopoly of force or threat of force exercised over
individuals.
Authority - The power to enforce laws, exact obedience, command, determine, or judge
the power or right to control, judge, or prohibit the actions of others. (from
thefreedictionary.com)
The power to control or demand obedience from others. (from dictionary.cambridge.org)
These definitions are clear enough and will suffice.
Currency -
1. Money in any form when in actual use as a medium of exchange, especially circulating
paper money.
2. Transmission from person to person as a medium of exchange; circulation .
3. General acceptance or use; prevalence (all definitions from thefreedictionary.com)
I find these definitions to be quite thorough for the purposes in this book.
Education - The knowledge or skill obtained or developed by a learning process.
the result produced by instruction, training, or study. (from thefreedictionary.com)
I feel these two definitions give a good summary of the current model of public education.
The act or process of imparting or acquiring general knowledge and of developing the
powers of reasoning and judgment. (from thefreedictionary.com)
9
10
The key words here are reasoning and judgment, two things which are non-existent
in public education methods. Members of the oligarchy do receive these necessary
components of critical thinking in their childhood education.
Individual - A single human considered apart from a society or community. (from
thefreedictionary.com)
A single person or thing, esp. when compared to the group or set to which it belongs.
(from dictionary.cambridge.org)
I feel these definitions are accurate enough.
Voluntary - Done or undertaken of one's own free will. (from thefreedictionary.com)
Acting or done without legal obligation, compulsion, or persuasion. (from
collinsdictionary.com)
My definition of voluntary - Action done by an individual without persuasion or
coercion by another individual or by a collective.
Association-
An organized body of people who have an interest, activity, or purpose in common; a soc
iety. (from thefreedictionary.com)
My definition of association - A relationship of individuals who have an interest,
activity, or purpose in common.
System - A group or combination of interrelated, interdependent, or interacting elements
forming a collective entity; a methodical or coordinated assemblage of parts, facts,
concepts, etc: (from thefreedictionary.com)
My definition of system - A group of tangible and intangible components which
function together for the purpose of achieving an outcome.
Resource - Something that lies ready for use or that can be drawn upon for aid or to take
care of a need.
I feel this definition is satisfactory. However, it should be noted that the oligarchy has
created a term called “human resources”. This infers that humans are not sentient beings
and therefore it is permissible to treat humans in an unfeeling manner and to use them as
any other resource (such as a tree).
