ECONOGENICS
They are called the market-based mechanisms under the Kyoto
Protocol, and were developed as means of meeting greenhouse reduction targets
by the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol now meeting in Poznań, Poland at the
United Nations Climate Conference. The decision making process at the UN
Climate Conference is limited to those UN member government states who are
signatories of the Kyoto Protocol, with limited participation of observers and
side events and exhibits by Non-Governmental Organizations involved with environmental
and economic issues from around the world. The last UN Climate Conference was
in Bali in 2007.
These mechanisms, established under the Kyoto Protocol in
1997, have been institutionalized under a worldwide structure of international
exchange and monitoring that includes Emissions Trading, the Clean Development
Mechanism (CDM) and Joint Implementation (JI). These three elements define the
operational contractual framework that has created the global "carbon
market". Directed at the primarily at the accelerated deforestation of the
'Middle Earth' belt of forests that encircle the globe along the tropics, the
priority of addressing deforestation is driven by the magnitude of carbon
emissions that result from the deforestation of Middle Earth, critically
exacerbating the volume greenhouse gases in the atmosphere resulting from human
activity.
Yet, as the Kyoto Protocol signatories move towards
negotiating a post 2012 arrangement regarding the commitments described in the
Protocol which will be expiring at that time, there is mounting concern that
the process of clearing the path for market-based schemes such as carbon
trading have hijacked the global peoples movement of climate justice, and are
being driven by a strategy of the industrialized north of evading emission cuts
by buying carbon credits from the indigenous territories of Middle Earth
especially, while continuing on the disastrous global trajectory of
over-consumption by the rich countries of the world, again predominantly in the
Northern Hemisphere.
For historical clarification, it was at the World Conference
Against Racism held in Durban, South Africa in 2001 that Indigenous Peoples
from around the world joined with the Durban Group for Climate Justice and
declared:
"We therefore commit ourselves to help build a global
grassroots movement for climate justice, mobilize communities around the world
and pledge our solidarity with people opposing carbon trading on the
ground."
Within the framework of the so-called market based
mechanisms, the issue of the REDD program (Reducing Emissions from
Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries) was the
flashpoint for the demonstration of protest by the Abya Yala Caucus of
Indigenous Peoples at the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues
in May of 2007. In contest were two contrasting versions of the position of the
Indigenous Peoples in terms of the "carbon market" mechanisms, which
had been strongly criticized and denounced by the attending delegates of the
Indigenous Peoples for specific violations of the right of Free, Prior and
Informed Consent and the Right of Self Determination. When these denunciations
were not made part of the initial official report authored by the Permanent
Forum, and instead the carbon market projects were promoted as examples of
"Good Practice" the procedural facade of the Permanent Forum was revealed
explicitly and the "Revolt" of the Indigenous Peoples pierced the
veil of the "Carbon Offset" strategies being promoted by the World
Bank and the global Corporatocracy. The commodification of the future of the
entire planet - of the sky itself, was on the line, and the Indigenous Peoples
stood not in revolt but in fulfillment as guardians of the destiny of Humanity.
We can do no less, as we are the guardians of the roots of Humanity as well.
And now Poznań, Poland and the United Nations Climate
Conference as it is called. Officially it is COP 14/CMP 4, being the 14th
session of Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention
on Climate Change (COP14) and the 4th meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto
Protocol (CMP 4). The field of battle has shifted in scope and in tone, as the
crisis of global financial systems unravels, and the blood of the so called
Market Based approach to dealing with the issues of planetary climate change
coagulates under the light of the critical gaze of a media connected global
society. Another tipping point is reached, and a new hope awakens amid the
darkening scenario of the melting of the artic tundra, species extinction, and
the tragic disappearance of entire territories and human cultures due to the
effects of global warming.
In fact these mechanisms are not truly "market
based" but only represent the marketing of Global Monetary Policy which
favors the profitability of corporations, the balance of trade among UN
government states, and the financial and psychological control systems of the
global regime of fiat monetary systems, whose masters of transaction are the
International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. Left out of the costs in the
process of calculating market value is the cumulative systemic impact of ecological
destruction, which derives from defining economic growth, prosperity and
markets in the artificially manipulated financial terms of global capitalism.
And once again, those who pay most dearly are the Peoples and Territories of
the Indigenous Peoples worldwide, which is a blatant form of not only Genocide
but also should be prosecuted under the Indigenous Peoples Convention on
Terracide: the murder of Mother Earth.
In this approach, never is the future of the Well Being of
Humanity given a stakeholder position, much less acknowledged as the
appropriate Rights Holder from whom we now only borrow for the present the
blessings of the Mother Earth. Never will the future generations be a
beneficiary of the Marketing of Global Monetary Policy, no matter how well
camouflaged as an effective response to the very real crisis of climate change.
Beyond the financial and economic framework, the schema of the government state
itself (i.e. the UN system) as a complex adaptive system of global human
society has proven incompetent to respond in scale to the ecological crisis of
the issue of climate change and global warming. The perspective, participation
and value systems of the Indigenous Peoples present the necessary and critical
global infrastructure that underlie and supercede the fragmented and
self-serving strategies of the government-state "market based" model.
We are the surviving remnants of the original ecology of
humanity at a planetary level.
President Evo Morales Ayma of Bolivia has proposed a direct
attack on the structural causes created by our human society that are the cause
of planetary climate change, initiating critical discussion on the issues. We
add our voice as Nican Tlacah Izkalotekah, Indigenous Peoples of Abya Yala, to
affirm that Free, Prior, and Informed Consent also applies to the formulation
of a new conceptual global economic framework that integrates the Indigenous
Peoples, outside the bounds of the monetary regimes of capitalism, to address
the climate change issue. The Confederation of the Nations of Indigenous
Peoples of Mother Earth are called to gather our strength and stand against the
oncoming tide of destruction and co-optation, holding to the ancestral
principles which are the foundation of Humanity in the Four Directions:
Respect, Inclusiveness, Reciprocity-Community, and Peace. This is the
Tianquiztli of Community Ecology, where the real currencies of exchange and
reciprocity continue to serve as the roots of our global future in order to
nurture the sustainability of our planetary Human Development.
And so we offer the ancient understandings of our ecological and economic principles of well being, as Relatives to all Life on Earth.
And so we offer the ancient understandings of our ecological and economic principles of well being, as Relatives to all Life on Earth.

International Monetary Fund:Why Supplanting the Dollar Would Be Good For America

"The Special Drawing Right (SDR), is the currency not of some foreign rival but of the Washington-based and traditionally U.S.-dominated International Monetary Fund (IMF). It isn't even really its own currency, since it derives its value from a basket" that contains dollars, euros, yen and pounds."
The SDR is poised at the tipping point of the "debt ceiling crisis" to serve as an instrument of Econogenics, capturing the lead position among financial elites of the global economy as the currency without a constituency, a credit system controlled from behind the shadows of the board rooms of the global banksters, with the agency of the International Monetary Fund serving as the SS enforcer of the global regime of meta-national corporate fascism.
