Parallel Lives: The Matrix and the New World Order
I think everyone realizes there are 2 distinct worlds now operating quite nicely – side by side.
The Matrix ~ The NEW World Order
These are the companies; local business; friends and family that are very attached to the Old World – The Matrix:
2 cars in the garage;
a 40 hour a week job from 8:00am to 5:00pm Mon thru Friday; Where innovation is frowned upon;
maybe you get a 401K; maybe not
deal with an Investment banker who consistently takes a cut
invests in Wall Street & its vision [how is that working ???]
believe we each need $500,00 in a savings account in order to retire [HA!]
Never runs security software on their computer.
Never Backs Up their computer and then COMPLAINS when they loose their data or get a virus.. ..
Thinks the “CLOUD” will protect them and yet ~ Have N-O Clue what the Cloud is.
[not the one outside, up in the sky]
STILL Writes Checks twice a month because do NOT believe in on-line banking cause Aunt Sara told them not too. Will put a stamp on envelope and stick in mailbox and get totally dumbstruck when they learn –
when the Paper Bank Statement arrives, those checks were stolen. . . . :~)
At LEAST drive to the Post office…
STILL calls a TRAVEL Agent. Trvl Agent ~ They know best. Would NEVER agree to an e-ticket.
LOVE American Airlines and Marriott cause they get “POINTS” crappy service but that is of little concern.
Orders NOTHING On-Line. After all, not secure. They like driving all over creation to find their favorite
bath towel now made with poly/cotton blend. [shudder ~ poly/cotton]
Never ordered a book from Amazon. Not sure about Used Books.
But these folks rarely re-cycle anyway.
Would never buy clothes in a ‘thrift store’ [good. More for me]
STILL get a paper newspaper and are stunned at the decline across the world with papers?
The famous question ~ “What happened ? ? ? “
Have no idea what “GMO” means and do not understand the fuss….
Food is food - right ???? I mean after all - Kroger [owned by Morman’s in Utah] Raley’s,
Whole Food. They buy high quality, don’t they ???? And they have No Clue what it means to eat
Seasonal Foods…. Cream corn by Del Monte in a can is seasonal – isn’t it ? ? ? it was canned
after it was picked.
Restaurants = Building. Tables. Menus. Food Truck ???? I’m not going to a job site to eat.
The New World Order
I want very much to be clear.
Back in the day, one of the giants was ATT, MaBell; Land Lines. Phones with a cord.
NO speakerphone. Etc etc etc Dates range 1876 to 2008.
New World Order: Cell Phone !! Cell Phone + Camera + Plus Recorder + Plus Web Access
+ Download music + download & watch movies. And, S K Y P E. the jettson’s come to life.
Business use SKYPE conference or Web Conference - the options to speak to people today are endless.
* * * * * * * * * *
Back in the day, you would call your Travel Agent using your Land Line and when T. Agent said
“This is THE best fare” . you booked it! ! ! You HAD to use local TRVL Agnt cause you had
to drive over to p/up the ticket. Travel agency dates range from about 1760 to 2005 + . .
New World Order: Orbitz. Priceline. KAYAK. Expedia. E-Ticket – free ! ! ! ! print on your
own home printer. Email the itinerary to co-worker; friends; post on Facebook. SNAP.
Takes 5 seconds. WAIT on Priceline for your fare or hotel rate. Find your OWN remote
hotel in FIJI using Google, FaceBook. . . EMAIL the owner or call using SKYPE;
Cell Phone; etc etc etc
* * * * * * * * * *
Back in the day: Record Industry. Mega Giants. Movers and Shakers. Made or Broke Artist
and Groups. Created 45’s; 33 1/3 lpr; everything was fixed and controlled -
as Jagger said “Under my thumb” .. .. .. . turntables; hooked up to Marantz or AKAI or
Harman Kardin tuners; also could hook up reel to reel; tape player; later CD player;
radio stations were available. This is probably 1880’s to 2000…
New World Order: Download 1 tune at a time to your PC; I-Pad; or MP3 PLAYER.
Who buys CD’s anymore ? ? ? Radio - on the Internet. One of THE best sources is from England:
http://www.radiotunes.com/
PANDORA ! ! ! ! ! program your OWN station. How incredible and innovative.
Program fave tunes even on your own “ YouTube Stations.”
* * * * * * * * * * *
Back in the day: Wall St Brokers. Brokerage Firms.
You had to use land line to call broker to buy or sell.
And Fees !?!?! You had to trust info they gave you - cause it was almost impossible to
research firms. Althou - folks loved the BIG Ones: IBM; GM; FORD; XEROX; Chrysler.
No one ever believed any of these Big Ones would go Straight Into the Toilet.
Invest in Software??? Uff - lost your mind. This is probably 1801 til 1997.
The Big Tank in 2008 scared lots of people and govt’s away from the table. . .
New World Order: Forget Wall Street.
E-Trade. Scott Trade. TD Ameritrade. Motley Fool Trade. Day traders making
zillions of dollars. Plenty of folks staying out all together because it seems this is
ALL A Giant Ponzi Scheme. [goldman sachs ? ? ? ] [Greece vs. Germany. . .]
* * * * * * * * * * *
Back in the day: Big BOX Stores. Macy’s. Sear’s. JCPenney K-Mart. Wal-Mart.
Best Buy. Enclosed Shopping Malls replaced Strip Malls. NOW in 2015 - outside
Strip Malls are back with a vengeance. Spiegel – remember Spiegel? This was hey-day 1962 to 2012.
New World Order: E-Bay. Amazon. Etsy. Bonanza All on-line. Even the box stores
have on-line divisions. I find it fascinating when box store has different pricing And marketing
practices than WebStore. i.e., PHARMCA. I can order on-line and get 20% off – most days.
Go into Pharmaca store and they want full price. Where will I shop ??? on-line.
* * * * * * * * * * *
Back in the day: Paper printed newspapers.
These folks completely believed that the internet was a fad and buried their feet in
cement. Too bad. . . cause this goes back to 1605 to about 2000.
New World Order: Everything is on-line. W H Y would I pay for ANY news, when
BBC is free; UKGuardian is free; NYTimes; etc etc etc. NOW - Facebook; Twitter;
Holy Moly. Revolutions are conducted using code words on Twitter.
AND - cell phone video - this is changing News Reporting and Law Enforcement. . .
I shall say no more.
* * * * * * * * * * *
Back in the day: Traditional Book Publishing and Printing.
Now – this is Long Standing. Roughly 1440 to 2005. . .
Write a book. LOTS were hand written. Find Agent or Publisher or Both.
Sign deal for pennies on the dollar. It was not easy to get published.
Then: hard back vs. paper back. Distribution. Etc etc etc
Took my friend Alex Haley 10 years to find a publisher for “Roots.”
Alex always said :
“ For that one great writer looking for a Publisher;
There is an equally eager publisher ~ looking for that one
Great writer .. .. .”
New World Order: BLOGS. Wood Press. E-Books. Locked data on web pages.
USED Books! School text book as E-Books. KINDLE ! ! ! ! NOOK. I-Pad. Droid.
J-U-S-T ‘google’ self-publish and there are 53Million entries. . .
* * * * * * * * * * *
Back in the day: Network TV. ABC, CBS, NBC. Actually good programming.
F R E E ! ! ! do not forget Free. Then Ted Turner gave us CNN. The world changed.
Then came Cable ~ Cox & Comcast. Then Satellite ~ Dish and Direct-TV.
Then bundles. TV and Land-Line. Cable & Land-Line. When we went from dial-up modem
to ISP - then it became phone/ cable/ internet. For Outrageous sums of money.
We all got 25 Born Again Christian Channels; 100 Sports Channels; Local Channels – which
used to be free; all this stuff we NEVER watched and yet paid for. For cable & satellite that
is probably 1975 to maybe 2014…
New World Order: R O K U ! ! ! Google Stream.
I cut the cord on cable/satellite over 2 years ago and have not looked back.
LOVE ROKU. Stream. Anything I want. When I want. MOSTLY free.
Netflix. HULU Plus. Redbox. Amazon Prime. On and on. Cable will be dead
within the next 18 months. we all learned we could stream ESPN March Madness. . .
so that proves it.
And to college student - “ I need a TV – why? When I can stream to my tablet; droid; pc. “
the TV’s out in last 3 years, can be connected to pc and can stream a web only
TV show on your TV . Those guys need to wake up and just make that content available.

Back in the day: Y'Know - The Matrix ~ You get the picture.
New World Order:
The WORLD is rapidly changing. I hope this article has helped you see that.
No one is yelling at the MATRIX. They exist. Their head is buried.
They are NOT going to change. . . .. Just leave them be. . .
While, all of us who believe in the New World Order are creating it as we go along.
This is based on
- Innovation; Innovation; Innovation
- Respect for The Individual;
- A Better World;
- Better Air to Breathe;
- Better Water to Drink;
- Better Schools;
- A Better Life rooted in Humanity and Kindness.. .. ..
Not only can we do this.
We A R E doing this.
