"To safeguard a revolution, first you have to get to the teachers and the priests." -Noam Chomsky
The "Nobel Prize for Economic Science" has no basis in the vision or testament of Alfred Nobel, nor is economics science. [1] In 1968, the economists simply appropriated the name of Alfred Nobel in order to add legitimacy to their planet-killing political agenda -- and have nearly destroyed all of humanity.
In 1992, both the US National Academy of Sciences and the Royal Society of London warned in a joint statement that science and technology might not be able to save us:
If current predictions of population growth prove accurate and patterns of human activity on the planet remain unchanged, science and technology may not be able to prevent either irreversible degradation of the environment or continued poverty for much of the world.
The future of our planet is in the balance. Sustainable development can be achieved, but only if irreversible degradation of the environment can be halted in time. The next 30 years may be crucial. [2]
Never before in history had the two most prestigious groups of scientists in the world issued a joint statement! Now, seven of these years are gone, and global devastation is still increasing exponentially while economists relentlessly drive billions towards their deaths. In 1995, Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman put it this way:
Ecological values can find their natural space in the market, like any other consumer demand. The problems of the environment, like any other problem, can be resolved through price mechanisms, through transactions between producer and consumer, each with his own interests. [3]
Our goals are to cause the discontinuation of the so-called "Nobel Prize for Economic Science" and discredit economists in the eyes of the public. There is simply no hope for humanity as long as economists are allowed to go forward with their political agenda of lies and deception.
