A letter from 2013 to 4013, a letter from the 21st century to the 41st century…

George Orwell published his book “1984” in 1949, and “Prince” released his hit single “1999” in 1982, both men reaching out to the future, a future that came faster than many imagined, and a future that is now 29 years behind us in George Orwell’s case, and 14 years behind us in “Prince’s”. There are those who came before us, and there are those who shall come after us. As we continue to pay homage to our forefathers and ancestors, so also should we seek to reach out to the future in our own way, as did Orwell in 1949, and as did “Prince” in 1982. And with all the fascinating capabilities, breakthroughs & technology of our times, we should seek to be the first generations of mankind to compile detailed transcripts, images, audios and videos for the generations ahead of us, we should seek to be the first generations of mankind to give the future guided tours of the 20th & 21st centuries, we should seek to be to be the first generations of mankind to take the 41st century on guided tours of our times.

Global society is currently going through a transition of Biblical proportions. The global economy is insolvent and has formally been on “life support machines” since late 2008 when Lehmans Brothers went bust in the United States, and after which then US President George W. Bush artificially created US $ 750 billion liquid bailout cash, for the artificial propping up of the US economy. Current US President Barack Obama has followed up George W. Bush ‘s massive artificial creation of liquid bailout cash with at least two of his own since 2009, and across the Atlantic in Europe, massive artificial creations of liquid bailout cash i.e. “economic life support machines”, are now the order of the day. What Governments around the world cannot understandably tell us is that global economy is bust and insolvent, because by doing so, an already bad situation will become much worse. We are now not living a lie, but are a breeding ground for lies.

Capitalism has collapsed and with it, the modern day trans-Atlantic Anglo-Saxon Empire of the United States of America and Europe. Strictly speaking however, it is the United States of America that is the singular Empire of our times, and the rest of us are merely provinces of the modern day Anglo-Saxon Empire, because it is the Marshall Plan of then US Secretary of State George Marshall that re-built severely devastated post-World War II Europe and that equally re-built severely devastated post-World War II Japan. The G-7 group of Nations has traditionally comprised the United States of America, Germany, France, Britain, Italy, Japan and Canada, and as mentioned, it is American capital that built modern Europe and modern Japan, and Canada is part of the Commonwealth Nations headed by Her Majesty the Queen of England, so it is crystal clear at a glance who actually calls the shots in these times that we live in i.e. the United States of America. The overrated China is also just a province of the US Empire, because modern China was also built by Richard Nixon’s America, Gerald Ford’s America & Ronald Reagan’s America, so talk of a Chinese Empire is just a myth. There was indeed the Mongol Empire of Genghis Khan, but this was 1,000 years ago. Chinese companies and Chinese engineers working on all range of projects across the length & breadth of sub-Saharan Africa, are no different for instance, from say Kenya Airways, Kenya Breweries, or the Kenya Pipeline Company, whose names and local labour force can give the impression that they are owned by indigenous Kenyans, when they are in fact Anglo-Saxon owned corporations.

But even the fall of an Empire is not exactly instantaneous, the best example of our times being that of Communism and it’s fall in 1991. Twenty two years after the fall of Communism, North Korea still stands as the last bastion of Communism, even though North Korea now clearly looks likes it’s on it’s final leg. Using the example of North Korea therefore, and using the first massive artificial creation of liquid bailout cash of US $ 750 billion in late 2008 by then US President George W. Bush as the formal reference point of the fall of Capitalism, then the modern day trans-Atlantic Anglo-Saxon Empire of the United States of America and Europe will still likely be standing and still likely be calling global shots 22 years from the year 2008 i.e. the year 2030. But this reign does not look like it can extend beyond the year 2040 at most, because the “life support machines” of Capitalism are operating under tremendous strain and will break down after only a given number of years.

When the Anglo-Saxon Empire does eventually come down with a dramatic thud circa the year 2040 from all indications, then it will be every man for himself globally, and we shall not be spared the widespread strife, chaos and anarchy that follow the fall of any Empire. It looks like for a period of about 200 years after the Anglo-Saxon Empire eventually comes down with a dramatic thud circa the year 2040, there shall be general chaos, disorder, conflicts and wars, that will ease out circa the year 2240, when another dominant Empire emerges. The script that lies ahead of us is one of epic Biblical dimensions clearly. We have almost precisely committed the same sins and same mistakes of our forefathers and ancestors, and shall not be spared any less of retribution than that of our forefathers and ancestors, and this applies to all of mankind.

So now would not be a bad time for us to as much as possible compress and preserve as much history of these times as possible, documentaries, videos, audios, photographs, the works. The beauty part of these times we live in is that tremendous volumes of information can be stored on a microchip. These microchips, if any, should be tightly sealed with instructions in eight of the major most languages spoken in the world today, on the compatible technologies required to retrieve the data from the microchips. Two thousand years after the fall of Rome, Latin is still not an entirely extinct language, so 2,000 years from today, not all languages spoken today shall be extinct.

The microchips, if any, should not be stored conventionally, but should instead be very tightly sealed with sensor emitting signals that will be programmed to begin beaming signals after 2,000 years at the earliest, and then be placed in all manner of diverse anonymous locations i.e. & e.g. the depths of oceans, seas, rivers & canyons, the heights of mountains and alps, the midst of vast remote plains and deserts, the depths of the earth, and as matter of fact, some could even be shot to the moon and other nearby planets, because the Americans still have the capabilities of doing this. The microchips should have welcoming messages, both written & audio in eight major spoken languages, warmly welcoming the audience to the year of our Lord 2013 and these times that we live. The guided tours of our times would then commence thereafter. Why not? We’ve written letters all our lives, why not one to the future? We could even help avert the future from making the same mistakes that we, our forefathers and our ancestors made. Let’s do it…

Here in Kenya where we do not value our history and heritage, unlike the Occident and the Orient, where Manchester United, Nigerian movies & Nigerian accents, South African soap operas and Latin American soap operas matter more than we the nationals and citizens of this beautiful country that Heaven bequeathed to us, easy access should be given to our former colonial masters, the British, to the dusty unused vaults of the Kenya News Agency, the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) and the Information Department of the Ministry of Information and Communication, where volumes and volumes of idle videos and idle still images dating back to British East Africa, the East Africa Protectorate, colonial Kenya, the Jomo Kenyatta years and the D.T. arap Moi years . The Government of Kenya should allow the British to catalogue this history for us and digitise it for placement on a master microchip to the 41st century.

A letter from 2013 to 4013, a letter from the 21st century to the 41st century. Why not? It’s time…
