Ecotretas writes in with another stranger than fiction idea, now coming to PC near you:
I’ve put up a post regarding a game that is being launched: Fate of the World. A SimCity like strategy game, but now with worldwide powers. It has all the ingredients: New World Order, mass murdering, killing people with special vaccines, even “processing dead people into ration wafers“. Unimaginable!
“Fate of the World” is a computer game being launched by Red Redemption. It is a strategy and simulation game, putting the future of the planet in the hands of the player. Playing the game, you get to decide the next 200 years of Earth’s history, experiencing how to work out your own New World Order.
But worse than the game, are the intentions behind. Gobion Rowlands, Chairman and co-founder of Red Redemption, the creators of the game, in an interview to Edge, gives us some interesting previews of what might be going on in the game:
| If you go to the US and the first thing you do is to implement a one-child policy and try banning meat, then they might just tell you to get out. Your agents can be killed, lost, blackmailed and kidnapped – so your agency gets taken away. I’ve just tried to ban meat here and the carnivores have rebelled. They’re not happy. |
But when you’ve thought it couldn’t get worse, it does:
| Under what circumstances, we wonder, would the US populace agree to processing dead people into ration wafers? |
Everything is there. Regarding the New World Order, you just get it out of Rowlands words, in another interview:
| So the year is 2020 and the world has done nothing significant to tackle the multitude of problems facing 21st century society, and then the first impacts strike and the nations create a new global organisation – the World Environment Organisation – and they put you in charge. |
And what can you do with all this power? Producer Klaude Thomas gives you an idea:
| Another example would be the simple expedient of removing a large proportion of the planet’s population from circulation. Let’s say with an engineered super-virus. The first thing to say about this is the obvious, that killing every last person in Africa would have less impact on climate change than getting Westerners to use 10% less energy. But let’s say you spread the virus around evenly, so everyone loses say half their family (the half who always get them crap stuff for Christmas). The trouble is, people don’t just conveniently fall over and die. Their friends and loved ones have to go and try and keep them alive, or always want to bury them decently instead of just tossing them in a skip; and then they spend time moaning and weeping and what have you. And that guy in IT who was fixing your laptop? He’s gone, and so, by the way, is the engineer who was keeping the power station running. So the rest of your society stops working so well, and that potentially puts your civilisation into a downward spiral as critical infrastructure falls apart. |
Get it? I wondered who had sponsored this stuff? Didn’t have to dig much. The biggest investor in the project is the managing director of Deutsche Bank’s asset management arm – he’s in charge of all their clean tech and renewable investments globally. It has even made it into Nature, where you get a good idea that there simply is no solution for the game:
| It is the year 2110, and the level of methane in the atmosphere has reached a critical threshold. You have a decision to make: accept the risk of global catastrophe and continue extracting the gas to meet the energy needs of an increasing population; implement a one-child-per-household rule to reduce future energy demand; or fund a decade-long research programme to deliver technological solutions. |

Easy-peasy.
State-assisted, monetized suicide. Anyone with a “reasonable” credit history (we all know that the almighty dollar decides more than morals or ethics) can commit suicide and based on their “contribution” to society, they leave behind an amount for their surviving legates. Thus, the inheritance improves living conditions and the voluntary nature of the act makes it selfless and forgivable.
Next?
p.s. All of the scenarios and outcomes in the game are undoubtedly based on mathematical models, similar to GCMs so, you were expecting something reasonable and sensible?
[snip – let’s not start with this ugliness ~mod]
I’d like to see what sort of crazy obstacles they’ve put in front of the plan “Build Nukes Everywhere. Now.” And whether they have any options for solar satellites and other space industry.
There is a technical term for these types of people (incl the Deutsche Bank managers) and their perspective: “sociopaths, sociopathy”. We even a have a few institutions to house them…
Wow. The Greens are desperate…
Was it sponsored by the members of the “Club of Rome”?

Where’s Snake Plissken when you need him?
Sounds a lot like Tom Clancy’s novel, “Rainbow Six”. Fortunately, Clancy offers the world a way out. When it’s enviro-weenies vs. special operations forces, guess who wins!
Works just the way climate models do.
I wonder if there is the option to get rid of politicians, elites, Hollywood stars, monarchy, yellow journalists, politicized scientists, etc, to see how the rest of the world would do.
I thought this sort of hatred was illegal. Why is this acceptable when what Hilter (only 9 million) or Stalin (over 20 million) did is not. They were both lefties trying to bring in a new world order for the good of all. Fortunately they were stopped.
I like PJB’s idea in the first posting. How about giving the family carbon credits?
Love the name “Red Redemption”. Makes it clear, for anyone who doubted the fact, that Gobion and his chums are Leninists rebranded as greens. Deutsche Bank are playing a very dangerous game bankrolling these maniacs.
“I wondered who had sponsored this stuff? Didn’t have to dig much. The biggest investor in the project is the managing director of Deutsche Bank’s asset management arm ”
Really? Very interesting.
Dr. Rajendra Kumar Pachauri serves as a Member of Climate Change Advisory Board of Deutsche Bank AG.

Q (from text) Under what circumstances, we wonder, would the US populace a
gree to processing dead people into ration wafers?
My responce to this nonsense is check-out the info on BSE, try
http://vetmedicine.about.com/od/diseasesandconditions/f/FAQ_madcow2.htm
Extract—– BSE is an interesting disease from a medical standpoint because of the causative agent, prions (pronounced pree-ons). A prion is an infectious protein that is similar to a virus, but not a typical virus. Unlike viruses, prions aren’t alive, so they can’t be killed with the usual disinfectants. The body does not mount a typical viral immune attack against prions, either. Prion proteins can be denatured, but only at extremely high temperatures or with very strong chemicals, either way, not consistent with animal life so these are not treatment options. Diseases caused by prions are referred to as TSEs — Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies.
How do prions infect cows?
The most common mode of infection is via feeding cows contaminated feed — feed that contains animal proteins (from sheep or cows). Researchers are still studying modes of transmission and if heredity/genetics plays a role in an individual animals susceptibility to, or protection from, acquiring this disease.

Some people just get dafter, and leave you wondering why their mothers didn’t drown them at birth. Pity that there is no early indicator of how someone might turn out as a guide in identifying them. (But thinking back——- I might not have survived :-0

Wow, a German organization supporting the culling
of members of the human race, in a fun game…HOW ODD!
Meh. I dunno, I think I’ll just shrug this off. It seems to me that the video game industry is running out of ideas in general, and they have to come up with kooky stuff like this to keep their audience of 30-something basement-dwellers interested. Not much to see here.
The game is undoubtedly full of bugs, and maybe a virus or 3. Play at your own risk. Puns intended. 😉
Deutsche Bank is also running the Biodiversity Scare.
Interesting list of personnel here. WWF has a delegate as well. The usual suspects. Munich Re absent; have they missed this one?

I remember wondering while reading http://wattsupwiththat.com/2010/11/06/diminishing-returns-on-climate-models/, when someone was going to come out with a Simcity on steroids (or prions).
I followed Enneagram’s links to the Club of Rome and Green Agenda.
There is some seriously alarming material here. Amongst the quotes are names like Blair, Gore, Lovelock, Hansen, Gorbachev, Obama, Strong … you get the drift … and here’s a taster:
“The common enemy of humanity is man.
In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up
with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming,
water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these
dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through
changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome.
The real enemy then, is humanity itself.”
– Club of Rome, premier environmental think-tank,
consultants to the United Nations.
A tad more alarming than jolly hockey sticks?
Sicko stuff!
I wonder was Franny a “concept consultant” on this project, because it’s straight out of the 10:10 school of how to win friends and influence people. Why do they hate people so much?
Here are a few more gems to brighten your day:
“We are on the verge of a global transformation.
All we need is the right major crisis…”
– David Rockefeller,
Club of Rome executive member
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Humanity is sitting on a time bomb. If the vast majority of the
world’s scientists are right, we have just ten years to avert a
major catastrophe that could send our entire planet’s climate system
into a tail-spin of epic destruction involving extreme weather, floods,
droughts, epidemics and killer heat waves beyond anything we have
ever experienced – a catastrophe of our own making.”
– Al Gore,
An Inconvenient Truth
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“We are getting close to catastrophic tipping points,
despite the fact that most people barely notice the warming yet.”
– Dr James Hansen,
NASA researcher
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“By the end of this century climate change will reduce the human
population to a few breeding pairs surviving near the Arctic.”
– Sir James Lovelock,
Revenge of Gaia
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Climate Change will result in a catastrophic global sea level
rise of seven meters. That’s bye-bye most of Bangladesh,
Netherlands, Florida and would make London the new Atlantis.”
– Greenpeace International
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“This planet is on course for a catastrophe.
The existence of Life itself is at stake.”
– Dr Tim Flannery,
Principal Research Scientist
