| #3 As said before, "GREEN TECHS" is notsomuch about GWCC but more about PREPPING WORLD GOVTS-SOCIETIES TO SCIMP IN SUPPORT OF [OWG-LED = US?] DEEP SPACE EXPLORATION + ULTIMATELY COLONIZATION. Among other, OWG-NWO = synonyous wid SPACE GOVT-ORDER. Just as one's Parents had to stop or cut back on certain things to meet bi-weekly or monthly, etc. Personal + Household Budgets, DITTO NOW FOR ALL OF EARTH'S GOVTS-SOCIETIES VEE DEEP SPACE COLONIZATION. Near-Earth, Planetary, Trans/Inter-Planetary, + Interstellar ....@etc. Economies-of-Scale. [USAF = US AEROSPACE FORCE here]. |
