Get A Peek Behind The Globalist's Curtain...
The trading group I belong to was patterned off
of Tiger 21. We have a very diverse group of people,
and focus on not only the economy and markets, but also
on socionomics.
Many of our members belong to organizations linked
to the major globalist NGO's, Think Tanks, foundations,
and societies, in order to understand both the direction
they plan to take society, business, and markets, but also
the strategies and techniques they plan to use in doing so.
Some of these groups are by invitation only, are very private,
and you'll need to play Jason Bourne to get inside.
But many of them do not screen memberships, and hold open,
public events, often associated directly with top globalist
organizations and individuals that are impossible to otherwise
get access to.
These events give you the opportunity to get a peek behind
the curtain, and to rub shoulders with these people when they
have their hair down.
I've been to a few, and let's just say... you'll quickly
get your eyes opened.
We've talked a lot here about how politics and social trends
will soon begin to drive markets more than traditional
business cycles, or economics. And over the next couple
of weeks I'll be talking a bit more about that.
For anyone who lives in the New England area, I just wanted
to pass on an announcement of a relatively inexpensive, public
conference that will be coming up in July, and will be
held in Boston, Mass. If you want peek behind the curtain
and want to mingle among the "enemy" - here's your opportunity.
At the very least, you'll come away shaking your head
in disbelief that these people really exist, and wondering
what happened in their lives, to so warp their thinking <vbg>.
It's from the "World Futurist Society" and will feature
round table discussions and educational modules on
Sustainability, Medicine and Bio-Ethics, Health Care,
Future Technologies, Privacy, Policing, Public Education etc.
Here's the registration information and a brief description
of the event. It's called:
WorldFuture 2010: Sustainable Futures, Strategies, and Technologies
The Annual Conference of the World Future Society
July 8-10, 2010, Westin Boston Waterfront, Boston, Massachusetts

There are also special events and special activities, including a bookstore
with a large selection of future-oriented titles in both the social and hard
sciences, tabletop displays from a wide variety of forward-thinking
institutions, "meet the author" sessions, and free career counseling by
professionals. And since WFS conferences often attract journalists and film
crews, you may even be asked for your point of view!
The program for WorldFuture 2010 was conceived and developed by futurists
from around the world who worked very hard to make the conference a friendly,
informative, and often challenging event. You will meet colleagues who will
inform, entertain, and delight you, but who will also offer new ways of
looking at the world around us and where it is going. We look forward to
seeing you this July for an adventure of intellectual stimulation,
exploration, new friendships, and networking.
Come to Boston!
This "revolutionary" city's museums are among the finest in the country.
Whatever your interest, Boston has a museum for you: fine art, contemporary
art, hands-on science exhibits, historical relics, and the latest computer
technology. You can dive into the New England Aquarium, or soar 50 stories
above the street with a visit to the Skywalk Observatory, where you'll take
in magnificent 360-degree views of Boston and beyond. The Boston Children's
Museum is one of the best in the country. If you're of the scientific mind,
be sure to visit the Museum of Science, which features over 600 exhibits. For
the naturalist, the Harvard Museum of Natural History has over 21 million
specimens for you to examine.
Boston's cultural calendar is seemingly endless: mellow jazz clubs, rock
concerts, Mozart concertos, children's puppet shows, musicals, and classic
plays can all be seen and heard here. Nightlifers can start out at a local
bar or pub and wind up the evening at one of the city's many dance clubs,
improv theaters, or comedy clubs. For those who want a different spin on a
night-on-the-town, perhaps it's center row at the theater, a cozy corner at a
piano bar, or standing-room-only at one of the city's many outdoor festivals.
The Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel
The Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel is situated in one of the fastest growing
urban areas on the east coast and is just steps away from Boston's most
vibrant shopping, dining, and entertainment areas. With its own "T" stop, the
Westin Boston Waterfront links you to all of Boston's historic sites and
attractions. It is less than 10 minutes from Logan International Airport.
See you there!

"All war is deception.
All men can see these tactics whereby I conquer, but what none
can see, is the strategy out of which victory is evolved.
If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear
the results of a hundred battles.
Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be
extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness.
Thereby, you can be the director of the opponent's fate."
-- Sun Tzu
