The world is entering a revolutionary age—an age marked by ceaseless change and extraordinary disruption and dislocation! Severe sovereign debt issues… ongoing economic distress… increasing social unrest…  upcoming resource wars… invisible power structures… hyper-efficient warfare… transnational crime… terrorism… privatized armies… weapons of mass destruction…the privatization of emergency management… the erosion of nation-states… the ascendant power of individuals and corporations… (Read more….)

For the past few hundred years, nation-states have been the dominant threat within the global security environment. But now there are two new complex and ambiguous threats.

And, as you’ll see in this research area, these threats will have a huge impact on regular citizens in the coming years.

According to a respected professor at the U.S. Army War College’s Strategic Studies Institute, Max Manwaring, the two new threats are: (Read More….)

The story that follows will shake you to the core and cause you to question your entire worldview. I am warning you—this story is not for the faint of heart. BUT, rest assured, there is a solution! It’s important that you know that this story is intricately linked to another one of my research areas: the quest to control food on this planet.

I became interested in researching population control when I was introduced to a declassified US security memorandum. So, let’s begin our story by travelling back in time to April 24, 1974, when Henry Kissinger issued National Security Study Memorandum 200 (NSSM 200) titled, Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests.
