Has the Oligarch's Digital Feudal Matrix Plugged You in Yet?

If anyone doubted that we are in end times for the free market and an imminent reset, in Davos week of all times too, the new Commander-in-chief rolled out his tech plans flanked by the rent-seeker-in-chiefs. Whether this is the best use of our resources it certainly helps the tech, energy and financial oligarchs, intent on plundering what they can to enshrine their places in the driving seats for this era of digital feudalism.

For these people $500bn of the worlds money and the earner from countless resources is about the control of people and planet to dictate future unnecessary consumption through digital means including digital currency. They get to outsource mankind's ability to reason and therefore deny independent thinking to end free market innovation and what is left of democratic systems. If you control energy, money and food it is easy money, add tech & data to that and you can dictate thinking and therefore demand to extract without any real need to make things better for the many because we are locked into a digital feudal matrix controlled by a cloud capital oligarchy.

It is no wonder Britain is in such a mess, people have no control over our destiny, our nation, its companies and national resources based utilities have been sold to corporations run by 3 main asset management giant and/or foreign oligarchs. Let's not even start on the corrupt governments since Thatcher ushered in neoliberal globalism. They have actually negated ambition and the work ethic helped by huge consultancies that have dehumanised our institutions and working days for little or no benefit once the cost has been factored in. They have hollowed us out and distracted us with a fake dream that has perpetuated feudalism.

The pointlessness of Gus Hedges in Drop the Dead Donkey has become the norm in an endless swamp of conferences or company meetings full of word salads where the only next steps are the date of the next meeting. Those that can talk are blocking those that can do. The doers seem so insecure they dare not speak out in case they lose their job or show up the Peter Principal person sadly in control. Behind the big words and basic high level mutterings they don't have the brains to blow their nose. Risk aversity rules the roost and that's bad for corporate culture, innovation and growth but not for those working in the right circles in the short-term.

Historically, there are only three ways to end eras of oligarchy and the feudal pyramid of enablers they put in place - war, revolution or the best .but least likely option, open democratic debate.

The Risks of Centralised Control and the Importance of Community Empowerment

If you are able to still think beyond your digital distraction feed, or are not a brainwashed enabler you will get the threat of centralised control over essential resources. When external entities control key aspects of our lives, such as energy, investments, and food, it negatively impacts the globalist economic model as well as our communities and fellow citizens.

Energy Flow Control:

• Monopoly means no Community Choice: When energy production and distribution are in the hands of outside corporations or agencies, communities have little influence over their energy sources or profit from the monopolistic pricing. This can lead to dependence on unsustainable energy sources and unpredictable price fluctuations, making it harder for communities to plan and budget effectively.
• Denies and Reduces Local Community Investment: Profits generated from energy production extract (rent-seek) from the community, killing any financial resources available for local investment and development projects that would benefit residents directly and plough back into our pockets.
• Environmental Impacts: Centralised energy control prioritises profit over environmental protection, potentially leading to unsustainable practices that harm local ecosystems and contribute to broader environmental problems.

Venture Capital Control:

• Stifles Local Innovation: When a small number of investors control venture capital, they tend to favour large, established corporations and industries over small businesses and local entrepreneurs. This can stifle innovation, limit economic growth, and reduce the diversity of economic opportunities within a community.
• Favours External Interests: Investors often prioritise projects with the highest financial returns, even if those projects don't align with the community's long-term interests or values. This can lead to decisions that benefit outside investors at the expense of the community's well-being.
• Creates Dependency: Relying on external venture capital can make communities dependent on outside decision-makers, eroding their autonomy and control over their own development. This can leave communities feeling powerless and limit their ability to shape their own future.

Food Control:

• Corporate Domination: When large corporations control food production and distribution, they often prioritise efficiency and profit over sustainability and community health. This can lead to a focus on monoculture farming (growing only one type of crop), processed foods, and unsustainable practices that harm the environment and public health.
• Reduced Access to Healthy Food: Communities become dependent on long, complex supply chains, which can reduce access to fresh, healthy, and affordable food. This can contribute to health problems and limit residents' ability to make nutritious choices.
• Loss of Food Sovereignty: Communities lose control over how their food is produced and distributed, making them vulnerable to disruptions in the supply chain and limiting their ability to make choices that support their health and well-being.

The Importance of Decentralisation and Community Control:

By decentralising control over energy, venture capital, and food as communities we can:

• Increase Resilience: They become less vulnerable to external events and better equipped to meet their own needs, fostering a sense of self-sufficiency and stability.
• Promote Sustainability: They can prioritise environmentally sound practices and support local ecosystems, contributing to a healthier environment for everyone.
• Foster Economic Democracy: They can create a more equitable distribution of resources and opportunities, ensuring that all community members have a chance to thrive.
• Enhance Community Health and Well-Being: They can ensure access to healthy food, clean energy, and a thriving local economy, improving the overall quality of life for residents.

When communities lack control over their energy, investments, and food systems, they become vulnerable to outside forces and may struggle to meet the needs of their residents. By promoting community ownership and control over these vital areas, we can create a more democratic, sustainable, and just society that prioritises the well-being of both people and the planet.

A Vision for Sustainable Communities: The EcoLearn Sow Study Sustain Model

Reimagining Local Economies with Community-Owned Food and Energy Systems

In an era defined by the immense threat and potential of the digital age and the looming threat of climate change, UK families and communities within villages, towns and counties are seeking the agency to enact innovative solutions to build sustainable and resilient communities. Hope is almost gone thanks to the desire of the UK government and, their relationship with overpaid word salad spouting consultants, to trouser what they can from deals with Blackrock, the tech cartel and the City of London that has sold us out to overseas oligarchs at the expense of the tax base.

You don't need endless flowcharts and work flows if you have the real tools to get cracking on the challenge. We need to start small and push up because it won't trickle down. The EcoLearn Community Interest Company (CIC) offers a compelling alternative model for achieving this vision, combining community-owned food and energy systems within a circular framework.

The EcoLearn Approach: Sow Study Sustain

At the heart of EcoLearn's model lies the Sow Study Sustain initiative, a comprehensive cut to the chase plan designed to empower communities to take control of their food and energy production. Our circular economy community wealth building idea provides the tools, resources, and informal educational knowledge share support needed to establish and maintain micro-farms and renewable energy projects. By integrating these systems within a circular model, EcoLearn ensures that resources are kept within the local economy, benefiting both people and the planet. Working in the right circles.

Key Components of the EcoLearn Model:

• Micro-Farms: EcoLearn helps communities establish micro-farms, utilising sustainable growing practices to produce fresh, healthy food locally. These micro-farms serve as hubs for community engagement, education, and skill-building. With naturally grown veg and innovative fruit forests we feed healthy bodies and minds.
• Renewable Energy Projects: EcoLearn despite being told to go the other side of the river and stay there - want to facilitate community-owned wind and solar energy projects, generating clean and affordable power. This reduces reliance on external energy sources and ensures that the economic benefits of energy production remain within the community. Miliband's initiative will just line their mates pockets - a PR & hype distraction not the community opportunity GB Energy needs.
• Circular Economy Framework: By integrating food and energy production within a circular economy, EcoLearn maximises resource utilisation and minimises waste. This approach promotes environmental sustainability while creating a closed-loop system that continuously reinvests resources back into the community.
• Community Wealth Building: The EcoLearn model prioritises community ownership and democratic decision-making, ensuring that the benefits of these initiatives are shared equitably. This fosters a sense of collective responsibility and empowers residents to shape the future of their communities.

Benefits for Communities:

• Economic Self-Reliance: Reduced dependence on external sources of food and energy.
• Environmental Sustainability: Promotes sustainable practices and reduces carbon footprint.
• Food Security: Increased access to fresh, healthy, and affordable food.
• Community Health: Improved physical and mental well-being through access to healthy food and green spaces.
• Job Creation: Creates local jobs way beyond those in sustainable agriculture and renewable energy sectors.
• Social Equity: Ensures that all community members benefit from these initiatives.

Vision for the Future:

The EcoLearn model offers a pathway for towns and counties to create thriving, sustainable communities where digital innovation and ecological responsibility go hand in hand. By embracing community-owned food and energy systems, we can build a future where people, planet, and prosperity are interconnected and mutually reinforcing.
