Inspired by past conflicts and catastrophes the Chinese were first to use all those information for sophisticated QC-based simulations. Over the years they grew from state level to regional and eventually to global scales. The simulations are meant as a rough decision instrument, as a reinsurance that no crucial information or development is overlooked in politics or economy in times of crisis. - Evil tongues argued it was also to warn them against own ideological missteps.

WCG is basically the Chinese state model with everyone getting used to it, giving it one or two more generations. Those who do not agree live a difficult life. The open source movement is not what is used to be, either. WCG is controlling open source now. "Digital rebels" are thereby forced to act against WCG's law and order, stigmatizing some as criminal and black hats who would have not been in the past. This oppression of free will resulted in individuals to actually oppose the WCG. Growing radicalism of gray hats and natural black hats resulted in enough potential to fight back. At first it was idealistic actions, then money was involved, leading to corruption of their own ideals they once had. In Italy, mafia structures were attacked to clean up the political landscape. But digital tools made it easy to get involved, blackmailing mafia and linked politicians, eventually taking over the business. When physical and virtual reality merged, the "Network" became new head in line of command. As Comguys they were secretly directing the Syndicate.

In Italy, mafia structures were attacked to clean up the political landscape. But digital tools made it easy to get involved, blackmailing mafia and linked politicians, eventually taking over the business. When physical and virtual reality merged, the "Network" became new head in line of command. As Comguys they were secretly directing the Syndicate.
 
  Network (hidden leaders: "Controllers", top-tier "Comguys" that use the Subbosses as "proxies")
  |
  +-- Syndicate (official head: Muro)
  |    |
  |    +-- Subbosses (counter parts of regional TCTF commanders)
  |
  +-- BGI (tries to detach from the Syndicate)
      |
      +-- Musashi Manufacturing (was sacrifieced by Muro to hamper BGI's anti-Sturmänderung plans)
 
The Controllers are corrupt hackers, endoparasites within the network of crime organisations. The existence of Mai and her Chrysalis reminds them of their Arnachist mission to end all national geopolitics by crashing "all systems" although most of the time they use the more ambiguous term "the system".
: As the Syndicate is already a network of SOC, Network members sometimes describe their entity as "'''meta organisation'''".
: The creation of Avatara (as a proof of AGI) is what they were actually waiting for. The Daodan poses a system disturbing but also ''rivaling'' threat that can only be used as a political distraction in best case.
: The operation "great reset" of the Controllers was named as such to make fun of [[wp:Great Replacement conspiracy theory|Great Replacement]] and [[wp:Great_Reset#Conspiracy_theories|Great Reset]] conspiracy theorists. In an post-AGI world "capital" gets kind of irrelevant and by exponential growth a robot infrastructure can create habitable conditions in every corner of the world so that migration flows mostly stop.
: However, in the upcoming chaos that all involved parties cause - including Sturmänderung "Plan B" - Avatara does another kind of reset: He seals the mind of all humans in hope that this will give him enough time to repair the un-aligned Gaia AI.
 
The controllers concluded they couldn’t destroy the system without becoming a part of it for reasons of power.
 
In the early years, before the founding of WCG, they thought of uniting all smaller countries against the superpowers. But then they predicted if such a threat was about to emerge the superpowers would team up in cutting the cake and suppress all opposition mutually. Therefore invading the forming WCG in its entireness would be pose a better chance for success. However, they lacked the tools to do so.
 
Although Mai never interacts with that group directly(?) she would reject the controllers because of her TCTF imprinting.

When all goals of GOP have been accomplished, the members would have proven themselves worthy to witness the [[wp:Jehovah%27s_Witnesses#God.27s_kingdom|Second Coming]] and allowed to remain on Earth.
When all goals of GOP have been accomplished, the members would have proven themselves worthy to witness the [[wp:Jehovah%27s_Witnesses#Eschatology|Second Coming]] and allowed to remain on Earth.


While the Second Coming was actually propaganda, the cataclysm put GOP's religious workers into so much euphoric mood that they scared many GOP transhumanists. Some critical voices used the heat to kick out everyone that didn't seemed to be a true advocate. Eric Morice, himself a scientist, retained control over the systems but acted now fully in what he thought the members would expect next. Jesus would not appear very soon... To buy time for a plan, he said that they still needed to endure the appearance of true evil. He built some ''demonic beasts'' (Behemoth, Leviathan, etc.) in Green Village's inaccessible laboratories. The Bioc would set them free. Their presence would be a proof for Satan's actions and the Holy Sand could wipe them from the face of earth. All what was missing was someone that could act as Jesus. Preferable a Daodan host that could miraculous heal his wounds and those of others.

At the same time they are legitimizing them by being themselves a threat.]


Muro aimed to contaminate the atmosphere so that basically only Daodan hosts survive. He needed to infiltrate ACCs worldwide and let them go out of control. Complicated, risky. How about a plan B?
Muro aimed to contaminate the atmosphere so that basically only Daodan hosts survive. He needed to infiltrate ACCs worldwide and let them go out of control. Complicated, risky. How about a plan B?
Originally, the Controller thought of blackmailing the WCG with their Great Reset plan. But then they decided to put it on ice. Muro somehow got to know about it and reactivated it as his own backup plan.


How much does an intercontinental rocket cost? The [[wp:LGM-30_Minuteman|LGM-30 Minuteman]] costs 7 million USD. One unit is quite affordable for the Syndicate but they needed 500 of them.

Therefore Muro let construct the ICBMs in Russia without warheads. The simultaneous launch of that many rockets makes sure they don't get declared as a false alert. They get shot into the sky and trigger a nuclear retaliation of USA, and then of Russia. The nuclear holocaust and the contamination will come from the real rockets. Hence nuclear material for own warheads is not needed.

The cost were further reduced by siphoning off fuel from cities' "zero-priced" hydrogen grid. Also the rockets are made in Syndicate run (reverse engineering) repair cafes which have advanced 3d metal printers. The Resurrection Shops are situated at the periphery of cities.

: On a political level sympathisers declare these shops a form of protest against the "capitalistic throwaway society" and "[[wp:Planned_obsolescence|planned obsolescence]]" of corporations.


The rockets are camouflaged as silos to store hydrogen. As soon as they enter the last construction phase (turned into actual rockets) they get relabeled as "weather control system". (Cynical reference to [[#Sturmanderung|Sturmanderung]].) Then they are officially meant for [[wp:Cloud_seeding#Salts|cloud seeding]] with sodium chloride (NaCl) to bring rain to the agronomic areas surrounding the cities. The TCTF might just think of them as some sort of scam.

Spite the European Union's goal to show more united strength in the global power game, it remained a paper tiger compared to the actual super powers. The member states were constantly quarreling over domestic and foreign policy with no clear vision for their own position in the world. This self-made chaos, the poor status of digitization in general and the missing ownership of companies for the digital economy (hence even more dependency to USA) were all hampering factors which made it very easy for China to pass the EU in power. <!--As Europe's economic leader Germany's digital ridiculous backwardness is especially to be criticized.

Kurzum: eine überbevölkerte Welt will niemand haben. Es führt zu einem Systemkollaps. '''Niemand kommt an diesem Problem vorbei.''' Wenn die Menschen wirklich schlauer sein wollen als eine an Ressourcenmangel zusammenbrechende Bakterienkolonie, müssen sie vorausschauend Lösungen erarbeiten. Wenn man zulange abwartet, wird die Steuerung der Geburtenrate womöglich kein Tabuthema bleiben. Doch je früher darüber nachgedacht wird, desto weniger drastisch können die Maßnahmen ausfallen. Corona lässt grüßen.

Food for thought - Gedankenfutter:
Ironischerweise führt Bildung und Akademisierung in '''Industriestaaten''' (Migration ausgeklammert) zu schrumpfenden Bevölkerungen - nicht etwa wegen Erkenntnis und Weitsicht, sondern wegen langjährigen Karriereleitern und Bedenken. Das verzögert die Geburt von Kindern. Begleitet wird dies von den Kulten des Individualismus: Freiheit, Konsum und Selbstverwirklichung. Von wenigen [https://www.faz.net/aktuell/politik/ausland/ueberbevoelkerung-in-israel-hoechste-geburtenrate-der-westlichen-welt-17504074.html Ausnahmen wie Israel] abgesehen, werden Kinder in der Mittelschicht oft nicht mehr "Bereicherung", sondern als Armutsrisiko angesehen.

Das verzögert die Geburt von Kindern. Begleitet wird dies von den Kulten des Individualismus: Freiheit, Konsum und Selbstverwirklichung.

Die Förderung von Bildung in ärmeren Staaten und deren wirtschaftliche Aufschwung wird langfristig das Bevölkerungswachstum abbremsen. Da Industrien aber auch ein Mehr an Energie und Ressourcen benötigten, muss die Entwicklung von '''Kreislaufwirtschaften und effizienter (energiesparsamer) Komponenten und Prozesse''' vorangetrieben werden.

: Die Ausbreitung wirklich weltweiter Standards, die auf "Effizienz" setzen, ist daher sehr wünschenswert. Das hat etwas Anrüchiges von Planwirtschaft an sich, sollte aber nicht damit verwechselt werden.

In industrialisierten Staaten kühlt sich das Bevölkerungswachstum von ganz allein ab. Womöglich bildet sich global ab etwa 2080 sogar ein Gleichgewicht. Wenn jedoch der '''Lebensstandard aller''' steigt und technischer Fortschritt nur diesem dient, ist das '''Problem des Ressourcenverbrauchs''' noch lange nicht vom Tisch. Zudem könnte die Abkühlung des Bevölkerungswachstums durch die Medizin verzögert werden.

Sind jetzt alle in Panik? Gut. Wie Frank Schätzing und Greta Thunberg sinngemäß schon sagten: Eine so träge Masse wie die Menschheit ist nur schwer motivierbar. In industrialisierten Staaten kühlt sich das Bevölkerungswachstum von ganz allein ab. Vielleicht bildet sich global ab etwa 2080 sogar ein Gleichgewicht.

Der Anstieg der Lebenserwartung und Fitness lässt Menschen länger "aktiv am Leben teilnehmen", sie werden länger massiv Ressourcen verbrauchen.

Das Bevölkerungswachstum sollte von uns frei gewählten Bedingungen gebremst werden. Denn eine spätere jedoch selbstständige Abkühlung würde für alle Menschen noch stärkere als ohnehin schon absehbare Probleme bedeuten. Es ist die Abwägung zwischen einem steinigen und einem noch steinigeren Weg. Und Prokrastination bringt uns auf den letzteren.

Technischer Fortschritt muss also im Kontext natürlicher Ressourcengrenzen gedacht werden. Damit es uns nachhaltig gut geht, muss auch an die ''Belange'' der Natur - ihr Gleichgewicht - gedacht werden.

Ein automatisches Berücksichtigen der Natur in menschliche Entscheidungen sollte durch eine Biokratie ermöglicht werden. Da Natur und Menschen beide global wirken, sollte Biokratie im Idealfall auch global sein. Die jeweiligen nationalen Modelle sollten zusammenwachsen oder zumindest stark kooperieren.

Über nachhaltige Effizienzsteigerungen kann der menschliche Lebensstandard auch weiterhin wachsen. Es gibt kein Grund für Pessimismus, dass ein nachhaltiges Wirtschaften für immer Verzicht bedeutet, doch es muss eben die schwierige Zwischenzeit der Transformation gemeistert werden.

China could have given sooner warnings about the threat but didn't because we weren't very nice to them in the past. They didn't wanted to be blamed for the mess. They wanted to protect their rise to power. The few information available not just hindered the work of the WHO but also the perception of us regular people to see what Corona really was. Therefore it was another source of harmful skepticism. They shouldn't have tried to censor images about bursting hospitals and crematories. And so we first thought "oh, it's not that bad, it's just a stronger flu".

Russia thought of Corona as another chance to destabilize and weaken Europe by spreading doubts about the security of Western vaccines. The bitter irony was that the disinformation became a boomerang. Even their own vaccine Sputnik V became a "bad seller".

Europe failed its self-proclaimed humanistic standards. Concerns over profit, the distribution of almost expired and the non-distribution of vaccines and their patents prolonged the pandemic as a whole. This made it even easier for virus variants to emerge. Africa gave Europa what it deserved for its hypocritical denial.

(Ger.) "Nazikeule", you get battered by the "nazi bat". It's a term used to express your diffamation as a nazi no matter your arguments and then the discussion ends due to self-censorship. Making it even more complicated the term can be said by any political color (although there is a tendency in the right spectrum). Anyway, this political climat - because felt as unfair - is contra-productive, it fuels frustration and anger. For things you cannot say you needed Amos Oz, a Jewish critical thinker, utterly respected by his own people - however he died by age and similar voices supporting a two-state solution get more and more rare.
