We Have the Resources. We Can Do It Now. So, for Heavens Sake, Let’s Do It

We Have the Resources. We Can Do It Now. So, for Heavens Sake, Let’s Do It

By Steve Beckow

Posted on May 17, 2025



I think the only way one could be a Trump hater today is if one has a financial stake in crippling his work to drain the swamp – or is hypnotized by mainstream news.

He didn’t come made to my specifications. He came with what it took to do the job. And, by gosh, in my view, he’s doing it.

***

How is he doing it?

Well, first of all, he IS the outcome. He walks around as if the project he has in mind is already done and he just needs the people behind him to actually carry out the steps. Now.

One can almost dream around him and have a sense that our dreams might come true. He rekindles hope in me.

Second, he cares about his team and he takes care of them. He remembers them. He genuinely cares about the unfortunate and the marginalized.

This caring side does really reach me and goes a long way to enrolling me in his work.

***

Here’s a dream of mine, for example. I’d like to see mobile civilian CeeBees (Construction Battalions), paid from sequestered funds of the Illuminati, moving from community to community, or wherever help is needed, rebuilding homes, garages, barns, fences, roads, bridges, etc.

Now don’t try to kid me. Sequestered cabal, cartel, and mafia wealth, 650 planeloads of gold stored under the Vatican, all the treasure buried or sunk beneath the waves recovered … may I stop?

Don’t tell me that we don’t have the resources, right now, without a tariff war, to send battalions of young people, a real Peace Corps, to parts of the United States – Lahaina, Paradise CA, Western North Carolina, Florida, Tennessee, Wyoming, southern California – to rebuild them and receive educational credits and a paying job with advancement opportunities in the process.

Without charging the residents.

Well, whaddya say, Mr. President?  Employ our youth? Have them learn on the job and receive good pay and educational credit for it?  With the same chance at advancement that we enjoyed in the 1950s – 70s?

We automated their future out of existence and sent their jobs overseas. (1) Now we need to fix our mistake. And we have the resources to do it. There’s no need, as financial matters stand at the moment, to refrain from starting large-scale projects, (2) employing our youth, educating them at work, and paying them in the same substantial way that we were paid.

Get rid of electric vehicles. Introduce vehicles powered by free energy and/or anti-gravity machines.  Start up med beds and introduce replicators. Break out some of the fabled 6,000 sequestered patents.

Introduce GESARA/NESARA. (3) Create a global economic union as a prelude to global union and the erasure of boundaries.

Once Disclosure of our star family occurs, (4) they won’t want to meet with several governments, no one of them representing all of Earth.  That’s a world not ready for deep personal connection and treaty-making, an immature civilization, one that hoards bequeathed inventions like the Looking Glass. (5)

We need to stop making globalism wrong. It’s inevitable. Inevitable means: whether we like it or not.

In fact the Global Military Alliance may be our first step towards global union. (6) And NESARA, BRICS, the QFS, QVS, QCS, etc.  (7)

What we really need is not one type of structure over another (necessarily), but people who are in, or respect, the divine qualities like love, peace, bliss, joy, honesty, integrity, courage, etc.  (8)

Take the same leadership position and imagine Donald Trump in it. Now take someone known to be a swamp creature and imagine them in it. It’s the person not the position that makes the difference. Some people will be leaders in a prisoner-of-war camp.

***

Our generation has to take responsibility for having screwed up (or being complicit in screwing up) our world – from lethargy, selfishness, greed … in other words, the very qualities that drove our (mostly-executed) world leaders, until Trump.

We, the public, the citizenry, haven’t cared enough about others or our planet to organize and take the fate of our world into our own active hands.

Here on Earth, let’s rebuild and make it a college-level educational experience for our youth with good pay, medical and dental benefits (until med beds), paid vacation time, pension, the works. Unless NESARA already covers these.

Under Trump’s empowering leadership, and that of the military and civilian team behind him, which for my purposes I’ll call “Q,” (9) we have a chance to pull out of our lethargy, show our caring for America, whether we’re American or not, and rebuild.

First America and, then, from what we’ve learned, the world. (10)

It’s not too late for those who caused the damage of automation (i.e., us) to undo it and support those affected.

We have the resources. We can do it now. So, for heavens sake, let’s do it.

Introduction to Let’s Go!

Introduction to Let’s Go!

Let’s Grow!

by Steve Beckow

Posted on January 26, 2024


 

I’ve long missed the influence of what we in the 1970s called the “human growth movement” or the “human potential movement.”

It revolved around what enlightened psychologist John Enright called “awareness, responsibility, and communication.”

I’d like to kickstart it again, if it were in my power to do so. No matter what’s happening outside, we as a planet are moving ever closer to being a global family. And the skills of the growth movement will be needed.

Download Let’s Go! Let’s Grow! Vol. 1 Awareness here: https://goldenageofgaia.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Lets-Go-Lets-Grow-V1-Awareness-R3.pdf

The growth movement followed the stormy Sixties, when a “counter culture” of youth tried to stop the Vietnam War and pull down the deep state, exactly as we’re doing now.

We owe a great deal of our political character as lightworkers to the civil-rights workers of the Fifties, feminists and anti-war activists of the Sixties, and the growth movement of the Seventies.

I cannot put a value on what I learned from Cold Mountain Institute, the est Training, Vipassana meditations, and Enlightenment Intensives. Inestimable. Their influence saturates and colors my writing.

Paradise ended in 1982 when the deep state engineered a recession, followed by the first “jobless recovery” I know of. Instead of offering employees severance packages, etc., corporations simply laid them off and did not rehire them later.

What the economic downturn masked was the automation of the workforce. Automation created a buyer’s market for labor wherever it was applied. It saw the withering of labor unions, the disappearance of secure employment with a benefits plan, and the loss to our youth of their economic future.

In exchange for cellphones and video games.

Work was automated; jobs, careers, professions – all went into the automation paper shredder without a thought being given to supporting the affected people through their transition or what would become of our children’s future.

It left a working and middle class prostrate from financial and economic body blows.

It left our children bereft of the life/adaptive skills of working as part of a stable company, with opportunities for expansion (advancement), and a secure future.

Of course, the deep state offered itself as our economic saviour with such nonsensical notions as “trickle-down” economics.

Nothing trickled down, except attempts to control. This was an economy based solely on greed. You could have whatever you could get away with. What we see today is the result.

***

Meanwhile, the growth movement died on the vine in 1982. No one had money any more for courses or travel.

A Canadian journalist, David Olive, summed up the attitude:

“Stop finding yourself, pal. It’s time to get back to work — if you still have a job, that is.” (1)

Many people did not have a job and were in effect abandoned. And their situation was not covered by a complicit press.

The tone of business discussion, which I monitored during this period, was highly competitive: us against them; we have to pounce first; he who hesitates is lunch; etc. (2)

Now we see the outcome of all that, yet we don’t pin the responsibility where it belongs: On what we call the deep state, the cabal, the New World Order. The puppet masters behind the curtain.

We think of them as our saviors when what they seek is control over us.

***

The Earth Alliance of white-hat military and civilians is dismantling their operations as we speak. (3) We can afford to leave that to them. Warfare today is not what it was. We’d probably be in the way; hence the desire to have us be indoors when the takedown of deep-state actors occurs. (4)

Wrap all of that up in leftover Christmas paper and put that aside. All of that is prelude to awakening the desire in me to create a renaissance (in my case, on the Internet) of the growth movement.

I’d like to have the communicational skills of the Seventies back. We already spoke from our hearts then. We valued being in touch with our feelings and were much more in touch than people are now. We had momentum in the direction of what turns out to be the purpose of life: Self-Knowledge.

We just need to recover it. Right now, there’s only me doing the work of rebirthing, as well as running a busy blog and … you know the story. So I have to restrict myself to mostly commentary.

But I invite anyone still around who remembers to join me in the effort.

The Competitive Ethic in America, 1980-98

The Competitive Ethic in America, 1980-98

Killing for Market Share

By Steve Beckow

Posted on September 13, 2023



It was a time of eat or be eaten


I began my academic life as a historian. In those years, one of the topics I studied was automation in North America.

I was in the process of creating a few databases on the history of it since 1980 to 1998, when I joined the Immigration and Refugee Board and had to stop researching.

One of them is a database called Killing for Market Share, a page of which I reproduce here. The book itself is available in the Downloads area or online (see below).

I post these so that we can see what a tumultuous time it was in that period, which saw the fall of so many people into unemployment and misery as a result of the ruthless introduction of automation, without any plan like NESARA to take care of the affected people.

The jobless recovery/recession of 1982 marked the beginning for me of the demise of the post-war honeymoon with the North American worker. From them on it was “Replace them!” (1)

Our future is bright however. NESARA will do away with poverty, starvation, homelessness, etc. If it doesn’t we lightworkers who participate in the Reval will. I know everything I have will be bent to the task.

This database can be downloaded as a searchable .pdf here:   

https://goldenageofgaia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Killing-for-Market-Share.pdf

For an online version, see: 

https://goldenageofgaia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Killing-for-Market-Share-2.pdf

(I’ll fix bibliographic issues as soon as time allows!)

Have a look. Read a little of it. Listen to the voice of the business Darwinists of whatever financial or political stripe.  This was us. It still is with the deep state.

This is how not to run a world.


Killing for Market Share: The Competitive Ethic in America

I. The Forms of Competition

A. Business as Competition

1. Competition

What is GE Capital’s edge? … Most important is a culture that successfully blends an entrepreneurial spirit with the hard-driving and intensely competitive focus of its parent. (Tim Smart, “G.E.’s Money Machine,” Business Week, March 8, 1993, 63.)

The U.S. has scored a victory in its battle to become more competitive in the global economy. (Farrell, Christoper, “The U.S. Has a New Weapon: Low-Cost Capital,” Business Week, July 29, 1991, 72.)

Japan emerged as the world’s most feared global competitor in the 1980s. (Farrell, 1991, 72.)

2. Game

Would-be-masters of the universe luxuriated for a time on their slice of an estimated $60 billion in fees for dealmakers, lawyers, and commercial banks. (Faltermayer, 1991, 58.)

Anon. 1991. “Like Everyone Else, Cable is Just Playing to Win,” Business Week, Sept. 2, 7.

Japan is an enemy that is not playing the game … there is an absolute desire to conquer the world. (Buchanan and Macli, 1991, 83.)

The 1990s may just turn out to be the decade when the rest of the world begins to worry about America’s new economic muscle. (Farrell, 1991, 73.)

3. Race

The players are choosing sides for the multimedia race.

U.S. markets shine as Japan loses its lead. (Neff, 1991, 52.)

As U.S. industries, one after another, fall behind in the global economic race, pundits say America must be losing its edge in science and technology. (Naomi Freundlich, “U.S. Research Looks Strong — Except Where It Counts,” Business Week, July 15, 1991, 131.)

4. Baseball

Gould … revived its stagnating sales with hardball tactics. (Zinn, 1991A, 38.)

5. Boxing

Europe gets pummeled. (Neff, 1991, 52.)

Hewlett-Packard [is] packing a powerful punch. (Eva Pomice and Warren Cohen, “The Toughest Companies in America,” U.S. News & World Report, October 28, 1991, 66.)

The auto slowdown … clobbered Italy’s Fiat. (Neff, 1991, 53.)”Competition is tough.” (Mandel, 1991, 38.)

“Free-for-all: Japan, the U.S., and the EC are duking it out to determine who will dominate the New Europe — and the New Century.” (Business Week leader, June 3, 1991, 2.)

“Food Lion stores and a union square off over scheduling policies.” (Konrad, 1991, 40.)

By 1989, more than 60 Far eastern clones were closing in on HP’s market. In a lightning fast response, the Silicon Valley company struck back with cheap and technologically advanced machines. ‘We hit them with a left, then a right hook,’ says Richard Watts, Hewlett’Packard’s director of worldwide sales and distribution for computer products. … That fancy glovework ultimately landed pugnacious HP in the winner’s corner. (Pomice and Cohen, 1991, 73.)

Many argue that a leaner, meaner Europe Inc. is just what’s needed to fend off such heavyweights as Japan’s Nissan and Toyota in a single market. ‘We’ll need a big increase in volume before we add workers,’ says Yves Blanc, director of finance at France’s Valeo. For labor that’s bad news. (Reimer, 1991, 45.)

Intelsat is already under pressure to lower rates to compete with the fiber-optic cable networks that cross the oceans. And it’s showing bruises as a result. (Vogel, 1991, 103.)

Intelsat won’t give up its monopoly without a fight. (Vogel, 1991, 104.)

[HP’s] profit margins have been chopped down to size by low-priced Asian imports. But the company is slugging back with proprietary products like …. (Pomice and Cohen, 1991, 73.)

Like so many other vendors, Straus Computer Inc. has moved to Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC)-based technology which it hopes will help it go toe-to-toe with Tandem for its share of the worldwide fault-tolerant market. (Fuochi, 1991, 9.)

The mainstream business media of that day represented business as red in tooth and claw. The businessperson  struggled for existence and only the fittest survived.

They provided the cover story needed to mask the fact that North-American business was shedding large numbers of workers under the guise of a “jobless recovery.” They had to or die, the business Darwinists said.

Using this argument, they avoided any necessity to assume financial responsibility for the worker made obsolete. Not even a severance package was needed.

Owners created a buyer’s market in labor by this device and hard-won workers’ rights rapidly eroded. And it continues today.

(The actual database appears here: https://goldenageofgaia.com/2023/09/01/killing-for-market-share/.)

Automation – We Did It

Automation – We Did It

By Steve Beckow

Posted on September 13, 2023


Credit: Agatel.uk.co

I wish you could have been with me, reading the trade journals in the ’90s on automation.

I’ve told the story before of the realization I had one day that automation was eroding the job market. (1)

I still have a few boxes of magazines in a storage space somewhere. I offered them to several archives and no one has proven interested. Too bad. This is an unbeatable record of the automation of the North American labor force. I’ll hold on to them until their value is realized.

For those who managed to stay ahead of the wave of automation, it was feast; for others, it was famine.

But we had the social safety net – the range of services that had sprung up in the socially-committed Sixties. But then, in the buyer’s market for labour that resulted, one by one the services shut down.

And one by one the other features of the world we had built and known since WW2 disappeared. The paradise, the American dream, the democratic way of life that we were creating succumbed, to be replaced by a popular culture founded on sensory pleasure and individualism.

We even know that the music industry forced the acceptance of rap music because they knew it would incite violence and thereby increase the prison population. They’d invested in prisons for profit. (2)

But we never recognized the wholesale erosion of our culture because our culture was offering us so many distractions – computers, movies and TV that pushed every boundary, diversions, excitements.

Not for those automated out of a job or career. Reported the business magazines:

“Some critics … call it deconstruction rather than reconstruction — jobs are a casualty at every point in the delivery chain. …

“[International trade consultant Patrick] Couling says the cost-cutting electronic revolution is one reason why economic recovery in the U.S. has yielded 3.5 million fewer jobs than past recoveries. Employers are investing in systems, not workers.

“’The fallout can be devastating. But it is more of a disaster to do nothing. It is a case of damned if you do and damned if you don’t,’ he says.” (3)

“What is a computer for, if not to save labor?” (4)

“Most of the jobs lost are lost forever.” (5)

One Canadian financial writer estimated that automation needed to save around $10,000 in labor costs to be worth it.

“Theoretically every time you make a $10,000 investment on technology you should have replaced one employee.” (6)

That $10,000 was somebody’s wages and no jobs awaited the unemployed.

They’re describing what became known as a “jobless recovery,” the first I’d ever heard of. Said one writer:

“People are coming to terms with the fact that you can have a jobless recovery. This is
something that’s really a recent phenomenon.” (7)

As two consultants explained:

“Revolutions are always bloody, and the productivity revolution is no exception. As companies large and small embrace new technologies and eliminate jobs, millions of workers are finding that their old careers are becoming obsolete. ” (8)

The business writers plainly saw the writing on the wall. But we continued to automate without seeing to the welfare of the displaced.

***

We did it. Our generation watched without concern as the labor market shrank. We were fascinated with our Tetris and the shortcuts we could write into our blue-screen computers. And the bulletin boards!

Hughes Aircraft broke at 4 PM every day (5 PM was closing time) as everyone fired up their favorite computer game or read the bulletin boards.  No one talked about it. Everyone did it.

No one wanted to hear about automation. Not the premier of my province of British Columbia, whom I admired and on whose student council I’d sat years earlier. Not the head of the BC Federation of Labour.  No one wanted to hear.

And now here we are. I saw an article the other day saying fewer and fewer people of working age are working. (9) Well, yes, what did you expect?  Why do you act so dumbfounded? It’s called “structural unemployment,” I believe.

It’s so blazingly simple: We automated our jobs and in many cases careers out of existence without any plan to take care of those affected.  We automated without any thought to our children’s futures. We were simply motivated by greed for profit and damn those who couldn’t stay aboard.

Look around you at the financial and economic landscape. If you can subtract from it the wreckage caused by the deep state as it shrinks in power and influence, the rest of the wreckage in North America was due to automation.

We forgot that robots don’t pay taxes. The cost of automation was borne by the working population, employed or not. The owners of the machines reaped the profit.

The last time I looked, this chronicle of the theft of a generation’s future is largely an untold story.

***

Enter NESARA (the National Economic Security and Reformation Act).

I bow in respect to the authors of NESARA.  I know it’s more than what’s contained in the act (10) but what’s contained in it stops the insanity, rights a few wrongs, and levels the playing field.

There’s much more to go, but NESARA is a start and sets us off in a beneficial direction.

Then we can move on to right the remaining wrongs, redirect our systems, and fulfill our purpose in being here – to rejuvenate all and help the planet prepare for Ascension.

I also bow in respect to all of our children and grandchildren who paid a price by agreeing to be incarnated now. The price they paid, among other things, was the loss of an obvious and easy way to earn a livelihood (a job), with the chance of permanent employment, advancement, pension, benefits plans, etc.

The price they paid was in a loss of peace of mind and living with insecurity, depression, and worse.

I see every day what it’s done to people. I see that your generation has had to live by its wits. I see that it’s been hard. And I salute you.

(1) “In 1990 I was driving through what had once been small towns on Canada’s west coast, when I suddenly became aware of something radically different.

“All the familiar Mom-and-Pop restaurants and grocery stores were now gone, replaced by the same franchise outlets that I was used to in the big city.

“The recognition came as an epiphany. I asked myself what had happened to alter the business landscape so much. The inquiry led to eight years of studying the impact of automation which, by 1990, was well underway.

“I became alarmed at what that impact on the work world seemed to be. But, though a few authors were writing on it and though I contacted labour leaders, government leaders, and anyone else of influence, no one seemed willing to listen. My own personal belief was that everyone was in love with the computer at that particular time and no one wanted to hear bad news about it.” (“Introduction” to The Impact of Automation on Work, at https://www.angelfire.com/space2/light11/index70.html.)
