1) the change is
in their own, long-term, best interest, and
2) the change is
inevitable,
they will very likely proxy their
corporate vote to the Foundation. This
will significantly speed up the transformation process.
(Too Good to Be True)²
Question:
What if we don't create The New Corporate World Foundation's
Win-Win
Business Structure ?
Rev. Coté: Humanity will not have the capacity to
make the necessary changes in time to avoid major,
global-level disaster.
Question:
What do you mean?
Rev. Coté: We Have Turned on
Nature's Doomsday
Machine.
Human-caused Climate Change
has not only released vast amounts of
carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, it has also started the
release of the 10,000 billion tons of methane presently frozen in the Arctic
Circle. Methane is
twenty-three times more destructive to the environment than carbon
dioxide. Each year, the amount of this gas being released is
increasing.
Question:
Bottom-line
this for me.
Rev. Coté: Unless this self-expanding cycle is reversed
within the next ten years, the rate of release will escalate very rapidly to the
level where it will become un-stoppable.
If we do not take action intentionally designed to stop
this cycle, the entire 10,000 billion tons of methane presently frozen in the Arctic
Circle will automatically be released into the atmosphere. The environment will be drastically
altered. The consequences will be devastating, deadly, and
irreversible!
Question:
What kind of consequences?
Rev.
Coté: The Earth’s temperature will rise about
eighteen degrees Fahrenheit. The ocean level will rise by about
forty feet forcing billions of people out of their homes. Mountain
snow caps will melt leaving over thirty percent of the world’s population
without fresh water in the dry season. Billions of people will
likely die of environmental exposure or starvation. Most large
life forms on the entire planet will become extinct.
Question:
Why do you say that corporations are the key to resolving our environmental
problems?
Rev. Coté: Because
the world's corporations have
the means, the
motive, the talent, the opportunity,
the resources,
the ability, and the freedom to make major changes in the fundamental fabric of
society, including the Reversal of Global
Warming. As currently structured, they lack only one ingredient.
Question:
And what is that?
Rev. Coté: How to do so and still satisfy their
investor's requirements for profits. This problem is solvable by the simple structural adaptation and the
easy-to-implement change in strategy
suggested above.¹
Question:
Are you saying that creating The New Corporate World
(NCW) is
the Answer?
Rev. Coté: The problem is much too complex to have
a single answer. However, creating The New
Corporate World is a major step in the right direction.
Question:
What are you actually doing? Why are you
doing it, and what are the implications?
Rev. Coté: Let me answer that by first stating what the corporate
financial structure is right now. When a corporations sells
stock, it' really selling a piece of ownership in it's
business. A portion of its profit must go to the new owner
(the stock holder). Another way to say this is that the
company is going into debt. A portion of its profit must go to
service that debt.
If you as an
individual carried a huge debt which you never paid off
and spent a significant portion of your earnings paying
your creditors, you'd be considered crazy.
If the main purpose for your existence was to pay money
to your creditors, you would be actually have to be
crazy. When a corporation does exactly the same
thing, it's equally as crazy, but under our present
social structure, it's considered normal.
Question:
Are you saying that corporate leaders are crazy?
Question:
No. When corporations were
first introduced into society, they were designed by the
money lenders for the express purpose of making money
off of the labor of others. Over time, they
have evolved into what we have today. Up to
now, almost no one has explained this financial
structure to the public and exposed the system for what
it is. Those who have explained it have been
ignored or suppressed by the money
lenders.
Here's the bottom line: The
world's major corporation are cash cows for the super wealthy who own,
control and reap the major benefits of their activity. Over
time, the super wealthy have gradually taken greater and greater
control of the political system and have caused the rules (laws) to be
changed and/or re-designed to give them a huge advantage at the expense of
everything and everyone else. They've even made previously
illegal activities legal for themselves.
Question:
Like what?
Question:
Loan sharking and
gambling. In the days of Al Capone, back-alley loan sharks
charged desperate people thirty-percent interest rates on loans.
That was considered a serious crime and those caught went to
jail. Today loan sharking is legal. The
criminals have changed the laws and declared themselves to be immune
from prosecution. They wear thousand-dollar suits and have offices in
large, expensive buildings with their corporate names on the faces of the
buildings. It's still illegal for you as an individual to charge
any interest over ten percent, but some corporations are now charging as
much as one hundred percent interest and that's perfectly legal.
Credit card companies commonly charge you and your neighbors twelve to
twenty percent and sometimes even over thirty percent.
Question:
And you are proposing to change that?
Rev. Coté:
Yes! And the process
is incredible simple. Here it is in four
words: GET OUT OF DEBT!
When corporations actually do this, the consequences
will be phenominal beyond words. This will
literally transform the entire planet, that is if we don't kill ourselves in the mean time by
ignoring Global Climate Change.²
Question:
How?
Rev. Coté:
It will produce a redistribution
of wealth on the planet at a level never seen or even
imagined before.
(Too Good to Be True)²
And in case you have forgotten, money is one of the
world's three main movers and shakers. The
other two are religious beliefs, and sex.
You may have to think about this for a moment because
many of the benefits will come through by
indirection. We'll talk more about the
benefits later.
Question:
What does redistributing the wealth mean?
Rev. Coté:
When
billions of dollars are no longer going into the pockets
of the super-wealthy, they will be going to the
foundations four beneficiaries -- the
employees (including management), the customers, the
environment, and to the remaining stockholders.
As just one example of this, you are
invited to examine what social security would have been
if the assets had been used to create an investment
portfolio and not stolen and spent by the
bureaucrats. See the page title: What
Social Security Was Supposed to Be.²
The main difference is that NCW
will have thousands of investment portfolios and not just a single huge
one. It's only a matter of time before NCW's collective
financial power becomes so strong that it transforms the financial world.
Looking For Losers
Looking for Losers
...
Eventually and by peaceful evolution,
the present society which is based upon
debt,² competition, and greed will be
replaced by a society based on cooperation, co-creation, and mutual
support. Everyone
will be in the winner's circle. Through
Foundation stock ownership, everyone will get a share of
the corporate benefits. There simply aren't
any losers.
Question:
What about the super-wealthy? Won't they be
the losers?
Rev. Coté:
No. They'll actually be the biggest
winners. They're stuck in a very destructive loop that has
gotten so far out of hand that they are on a path to self-
destruction. If they don't wake up very soon, Global Warming
will kill
most large life forms on the planet, including the super-wealthy.
NCW is derailing this destructive cycle
in a very positive way. It's about making the pie bigger and not
about fighting and destroying. Nothing will be taken away from
the wealthy.
Question:
So you are not declaring war on the wealthy.
Rev. Coté:
No. We are not fighting
anything. We're simply creating a replacement
structure that has a greater value than that which it is
replacing. When people see the
increased value in The New Corporate World Foundation's
Win-Win
Business Structure, they will simply leave the old ways and move
to the new. That's how cars replaced the
horse and buggy. That's how computers
replaced typewriters. That's how light
replaces dark and how order replaces
confusion.
Remember,
The Universal Law of Thought² tells us that we empower what we
focus on. We (TLC-Life-Center)
are focused on creating a win/win for
everybody. If you or anybody you know
can show us the downside of this concept, we'd love to here it.² Also, we invite and we challenge
anybody to prove us wrong.²
Question:
Can you give me the details on how all this will work?
Rev. Coté:
The process is too complicated to explain
in a few sentences. Please view our websites
for an extensive explanation.
