Penned by MIT Media Lab research engineer Minoo Rathnasabapathy and Helen Burdett, who heads WEF’s Technology Strategy, and posted on the group’s website, the proposal calls for putting all this spuriously collected, in the first place, data – “to good use” now. We’re talking points here, such as “sustainable development” (the supposed advocacy in mainstream media and informal global cabals such as WEF hardly ever goes into any useful detail, and beyond lip service – nothing other than what serves the “grand narrative”). The idea, apparently, is to harness Earth satellite observation data – and services in a way that would help “sustainable development” in unforeseen ways, outside of “just” the scientific community. At this point, the bigger the bogus theory, the more people believe it, which must be WEF’s hope.

Be that as it may, here we are again, and media perception seems to be the king: let’s all think, and more importantly, talk about April 22, “Earth Day,” the WEF post suggested earlier in the month.
