Think about it. Old films about the future like 2001: A Space
Odyssey, Back to the Future II, and Blade Runner seem all too advanced
to be settings close to our present time, yet they are all based on
settings before the year 2018.
Why is that so?
Because during the time the films where filmed, people predicted that
the future (our time) would give rise to highly advanced technological
breakthroughs like free energy, and manned space exploration.
Why
were these predictions invalid? Free sources of energy would give rise
to advanced technology that would surpass the current "space and
internet age." Throughout the course of time, technological innovations
like free and unlimited energy are either ignored, or prevented to
progress by people in power.
The answer? Greed.
If
every country in the world agreed to remove fossil fuels as its main
energy source, then the world would probably have advanced free sources
of energy. Fossil fuels are the wall that prevents people from making
free energy, because fossil fuels are regulated by "greed".
I
have heard stories of people discovering and trying to patent engines
that take in water as a main fuel source only to be blockaded by threats
that would probably be from owners of big oil companies. Water
covers 70% of the earth's surface. Of course! If the world used water as
a fuel source for vehicles and other infrastructures, then who would
need fossil fuels? Fossil fuels are non-renewable sources of energy,
they promote global warming, and are hazardous to life on earth.

Can a New World Order Do Us Good?
I have read a lot of conspiracy theories about how bad a "New
World Order" is. Most of these conspiracies talk about how the New
World Order will bring about a one-world government. So why is a
one-world government bad?
It all seems good to me, only if the people at the top of this new rule would not abuse power.
Having a global idealization similar to everyone on the planet will give us understanding between each other; sorting out differences. Being a planetary "country" will remove pride between former individual countries and remove power of governing territory; removing war and other crises involving these.
Having one territory, one currency, and equal share of the planet's resources will bring peace and equality.
What happens to religion and morality? Respect - We will learn this when there is peace and understanding.
When all this is established, what happens afterwards? Progress - Technologically, spiritually, and morally.
We then venture out to the stars and beyond.

The Best Religion in The World
There are about 20 major religions in the world.
Throughout history, much blood have been shed in the name of religion- In defense of opposing faith, and proclamation on who has the greater religion/faith.
Is religion really about peace? It all boils down to individual belief systems on how each defines peace and faith.
Through much searching, I have probably found a "debate-ender" on "The Greatest Religion":
In a brief dialogue between the Brazilian theologist Leonardo Boff, , one of the renovators of the Theology of Freedom, and Tenzin Gyatso, the Dalai Lama, recounts this encounter:
In a round table discussion about religion and freedom in which Dalai Lama
and myself were participating at recess I maliciously, and also with interest, asked him: “Your holiness, what is the best religion?”
I thought he would say: “The Tibetan Buddhism” or “The oriental religions, much older than Christianity.”
The Dalai Lama paused, smiled and looked me in the eyes …. which surprised me because I knew of the malice contained in my question.
He answered: “The best religion is the one that gets you closest to God. It is the one that makes you a better person.”
To get out of my embarrassment with such a wise answer, I asked: “What is it that makes me better?”
He responded:
“Whatever makes you
more compassionate,
more sensible,
more detached,
more loving,
more humanitarian,
more responsible,
more ethical.”
“The religion that will do that for you is the best religion”
I was silent for a moment, marveling and even today thinking of his wise and irrefutable response:
“I am not interested, my friend, about your religion or if you are religious or not.
“What really is important to me is your behavior in front of your peers, family, work, community, and in front of the world.
“Remember, the universe is the echo of our actions and our thoughts.”
“The law of action and reaction is not exclusively for physics. It is also of human relations. If I act with goodness, I will receive goodness. If I act with evil, I will get evil.”
“What our grandparents told us is the pure truth. You will always have what you desire for others. Being happy is not a matter of destiny. It is a matter of options.”
Finally he said:
“Take care of your Thoughts because they become Words.
Take care of your Words because they will become Actions.
Take care of your Actions because they will become Habits.
Take care of your Habits because they will form your Character.
Take care of your Character because it will form your Destiny,
and your Destiny will be your Life
and …
“There is no religion higher than the Truth.”
