THE UTERINE FOOTPRINT: THE TOP 15 BIGGEST LANDOWNERS

All humans are reproduced equally: grown in a mother´s uterus, unless you are an EBE (extraterrestrial biological entity).

A normal human uterus usually has a volume in the range of 150 to 250 CC, increasing up to 500 times in size during pregnancy. So as you can see the private oceanic pool within which each human being develops is small. 

His fate, what happens to each human being later on in his life depends upon his specific landing place in a given society around the world and upon his greed and ambitions to amass and snatch up his part out of the whole cake.

Each human being is born into a nest within a family with different economic means. And this is what makes the difference for each one. 

If your parents have nothing, it will be very difficult for you to have a good start in grasping any of the range of possibilities that life offers in its kaleidoscopic market. Unless fate smiles at you, you could end up in a whole different situation. 

Perhaps your hard working parents are approached by serpentine people who like to stay behind the curtains and lend them money with the condition that they will work like slaves and invest in different businesses but keep only 15-25% of the net proceeds. This is very common in countries like Mexico, India, Brazil, etc.

The lenders can be as dirty as drug traffickers or people as smooth as slimy mould who hide behind philanthropism, religions or sects and who usually handle a lot of money to invest and catapult anyone who they think is a good candidate for their power objectives. 

Both situations happen all the time, for banks are not a good choice unless you happen to carry a fancy last name or already have piles of gold to support your attempt to "progress" and move along the economic highway. 

It does not matter how you have gotten where you are right now, with or without great efforts from your parents, perhaps you have turned up well schooled at a good university. 

Whichever way, education has become the ticket to escape starvation or at least to keep it at bay for a whole lot of people around the world and for the global elite who has the horse´s reigns in their hands this is good: Their fucking system is assured it will survive intact. 

But do not forget that the more educated you become the more your demands on the world´s natural resources, for you will not be happy with a small hut or a bicycle.  

As a well schooled person, you will not settle for less than beans and rice and will want a lot of meat for breakfast, lunch and dinner and therefore your ecological footprint will be quite large.  

You will want the whole world to know you have arrived and have become a new rich as well.  

Now your mania for luxury is on. And this is what education is supposed to be for, to get a "better life", which means having two cars per family, stuffing your belly with toxic meats, munching on processed goodies while you watch TV, shopping for luxe brands (Gucci, Vuiton, etc.) or whatever paraphernalia your budget can get... 

And of course, let us not forget: To be successful also means to travel a lot, to "expand your mind". 

In short, you are what you have or wear. What a blooming pity!

Fuck (unacademic but direct) those who got stuck behind! If you can trample on them much the better. This is called "capitalism" and this raw capitalism is what is fucking up Mother Earth. 

On the contrary, if you parents are well off, your chances for developing your full potential are better off, unless you deviate from  your own flock´s norms and look for other ways of satisfying your goals. 

But this has to wait until later on in life, for as a child you have little choice but to go to school, in the quest to become a "useful citizen", understanding by this a programmed person who follows the rules dictated by the culture you were born into.  

As a general rule, most societies do not see with good eyes free and independent thinking individuals. These must be culled out one way or another, unless they end up complying. In other words, they give up their free thinking for high paying jobs o government positions.  

History is full of such cases. A lot of people started as real "revolutionaries", or they thought they did, for in truth they probably were mere peons for those who really pull the political strings, but ended up later as presidents of some republic of the many which scatter the Earth. Keeping in mind that you cannot become a president in any African country, for instance, unless you are a freemason at any of the Grand Orient Lodges scattered throughtout France or the United Kingdom.  

So are the things in this world, the fucking world of Homo insapiens. A bloody world in the full sense of the word.

Born with the dollar bill stuck up in the ass

Some people have had a very priviledged start. They have inherited a lot to wealth. Their parents were of a lineage of land robbers in historical times, people who through fighting and bloody wars became masters of the lands, such is the case of many of the noble and royal houses of Europe, Asia or Africa. 

Other people kissed a lot of ass and helped the masters of the United Kindgom to topple the Ottoman Empire and the asskissers ended up being crowned kings, emirs or shahs, such were the cases in Iran or the Arab nations. 

There were others who descend from dynasties who made their money with the industrial revolution and from oil well wheelings and dealings in cahoots with ambitious men of the "law" and together were able to monopolise the natural resources that we all now buy at their stores.

A few handful of enterprising people who have done well and have become billionaires did so because they followed the rules of the priesthood in command. 

They borrowed money from banks, invested in new technologies (computers, food industries, etc.), worked hard or sometimes getting their feet wet in the waters of the grey areas of the submerged economy, and eventually they hit the jackpot. 

This way their offspring will inherit the earnings and get the full benefits of the parents´ efforts.

In other cases there are powerful people who have amassed huge amounts of capital from ancient times through religions imposed upon masses of people worldwide by monopolising the representation on Earth of what they call "gods". They own religious empires.

But these rich people make no sense, for they allow their flocks go starving and dying of disease and sickness whilst they live in lavish luxury and talk a lot about fixing the world.

We might say that these so called "gods" are perhaps nothing more that demiurges or vicious djinns. There is evidence that these entities do exist in desolate places like deserts or deep in tropical jungles.

Let it be known that these rich people have a lot of ambition and will use whatever means they can to get their hands on their grand goals. Moreover, they are usually satanists.

They are masters of deceipt. They are extremely clever at combining profits from war and legal and illegal markets with high finances and the results are very prosperous banks and huge chains of businesses and enterprises which not even their accountants can count. 

Greedy parents pass on their ambitions to their children, for these are born with the dollar bill stuck up in their asses and grow up in an environment which prepares them for furthering the progenitor´s profits, so the end these people accummulate vast amounts of money, more than what they will ever need.  

They do not give a damn if poor people are starving at their manors or palaces frontdoors or far away. It does not have anything to do with them. At least this is what they usually think, for they are usually very good at business but very short of mind when it comes to resolving global problems. They cannot see the whole picture. And could care less.

But make no mistake that if there is prestige to be gained by handing out a few bucks out of their overflowing buckets, they will quickly do so. These billionaires usually have foundations and beneficiary trusts for this purpose. 

And of course, by doing so they kill two birds with a single shot: They get mentioned with high notes in the press, which they normally own, and also keep their sacks of cash stashed away safe away from the intrusion of tax collectors since these money nests are set up just for this trick. 

You may wish to call these people philanthropists. But what they really are is people who know how to manipulate the system and its "laws" and really enjoy the fresh air of the power limelight. 

But tell me one thing: What laws are there for the ones who make the laws for the ones who work outside the laws notwithstanding appear to follow the laws? None. They are all one and the same. 

The uterine footprint: The biggest land snatchers

The vast majority of people on planet Earth are poor and thus have a small Uterine Footprint (SUF). A small minority, the filthy rich, has managed to snatch the biggest chunks of the planet´s cake and these few families have a large Uterine Footprint (LUF).

The middle class around the world in the “developing” countries is on the rise and as a result they increasing their ecological footprint. So this middle layer of people has an intermediate Uterine Footprint (IUF).

A Uterine Footprint (UF) is the capacity of any human to cast his personal space beyond himself to catch resources to satisfy his personal body needs and social demands, taking into account that he is still connected to Mother Earth through an invisible umbilical cord.

A UF could be compared to something like someone casting a fishing net around or beyond him over the natural resources to possess and/or grab them. It is a jump or projection from the maternal uterus to the natural world.

It should not be confused with Ecological Footprint of a Product (EFPr). In plain language, the EFPr is how much a product fucks up the environment. On the other hand, a UF is how much a person fucks up the environment, i.e., encompasses, hoards, loots, grabs and steals from the environment.

Each human is born equal. Each is thrown out of a private pool called uterus. His parents genetic potential along with their culture and social status are passed to the offspring and will allow him to throw or cast around him his personal biological and social capabilities as he works to push and carve a survival niche by taking in energy in the form of food directly or indirectly from the natural resources around him.

Upon birth, he leaves behind his mother´s uterus as a naked and helpless creature and comes into another uterus (his own family) within another uterus, the planetary uterus or the Biosphere, but here he must learn to survive on his own.

During his early years, he depends upon his parents until he is strong, skillful and knowledgeable enough to fend for himself and survive in this new giant uterus surrounding planet Earth, the Biosphere.

So the question is: How much is enough?

It all depends upon where you were born, the family you were born into, who you come in contact with, where you are at the time and space, and how and where your next meal is coming from.

For any starving human being, a piece of bread would be a real treasure. Added to this a few spoonfuls of cooked rice and a glass of clean water would make him the richest person on Earth.

For poor people little is enough. Since they have come out of their mother´s uterus into this world, they have just been able to get enough crumbs to barely keep them alive. These people have a small Uterine footprint.

For some people an empire is not enough. If they already have an empire they will need another one or more to keep the one they already have from escaping their hands. They are fearful of losing their social status in the community in which they live.

In other words, rich people need more social “food” than real food to live and therefore to avoid going insane or collapsing into oblivion.

If asked why these billionaires need so much, they can give you many a excuse but there can be only an answer: Fear and addiction to power.

Fear of being nobody or nothing. And addiction to power. The power they feel their power gives them to power the power of others  who also search power and to put power over those who in the game of power ended up with no power to power their power.

Wealthy people already have more than what they will ever need, so bread and water mean nothing to them but become simple commodities, along with other products, to sell or trade to the ones in the middle layer, the middle class.

The members of global elite have cast a gigantic net around the world. Their Uterine Footprint is immense and has a detrimental impact upon the well-being and equilibrium of the entire Biosphere.

Let us meet some people who have a giant Uterine Footprint (Table 1):

Nothing can make rich people let go of what they have accumulated in their lives except death, which puts an end to it all. 

It is fruitless, a waste of time begging or asking them to share their million with the unlucky human beings who have nothing, to expect them to be truly generous with the needy people wherever these might be. 

But we are no talking about doing it for show or notoriety, to stitch a name in the hall of the philanthropists, who are for the most part people who evade taxes by throwing some bread crumbs to the poor as a means of finding loop holes in the science, for it has become a science in itself, of tax and revenue.

It is an inescapable truth that we all come to this world naked and although our dead bodies may be dressed up with the best sunday clothes by our mournful families by those who can afford it, notwithstanding we all leave this Vale of Tears with nothing in our pockets or hands.

Life may or may not be fair but death always is. And we all are headed that way.

So, before our Last Hour arrives... Before we suck in our last gulp of air, that which in life we strove and struggled to pollute in our quest for wealth, are we willing to share whenever we get or have more than what we will ever need?

This is the lesson we all must learn whilst we have time: We are never rich unless we move the boulder to enrich the lives of those who the joggling game of economics took away the means to scratch a decent living on the way to the finish line. 

Let us begin today. Let us quit talking and put into practice what science has taught us: All DNA is one ... So let us act as one for the one who appears not to be one but is one with us nevertheless.

An hour passes by... Then two... The clock moves on and a whole day has come to an end. 

Have you moved in the direction of being One with the One?
