The problem of reconciling a burgeoning population on earth (which makes
the human race look like a parasite) is going to be the challenge of
the 21st century. The establishment didn't count on everyone have a
computer (or two or three or more) and being able to see how folks on
the other side of the world live. The establishment is nothing more
than the folks who first declared themselves "king of the hill". Their
time and outlook is dated. They are obsolete and need to be deprecated.

One thing I've heard attributed to Agenda 21 is that they don't want any
small guys. For me, an independent contractor and software developer I
notice how more and more in publishing software they are demanding
things that the small guy can't do or afford to do. Yet if you don't
have the "small guy" you aren't going to get any innovation. Big
companies usually don't do that and when they appear to it's because
they bought some technology from a small firm.
The sodium vs potassium and calcium vs magnesium thing I'm very familiar
with because it is the cornerstone of metabolic typing.

They see things either, totally through the lens of

are too uni-dimensional.
It's dangerous to get strait-jacketed by any rigid ideology.
The partnership between De Beers and the south african govt
is one of the most successful and profitable partnerships.
In india, the cooperative entity called Amul, (Gujarat
Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation) is one of the most
successful producers of milk products in asia.
Nature itself uses the barbell strategy. Everywhere in
nature you see two opposing forces balancing each other to
lend stability. The stability you see is not static
stability, it's a dynamic stability.
Take for instance the human body itself. Too much sodium
depresses potassium and vice versa. Too much Calcium
depresses magnesium, and too much magnesium depresses
calcium.
