Wild Cards can be countries, public movements, natural catastrophes. Generally we focus on countries like Malaysia and Pakistan, South Africa and Turkey, that are positioned by geography or religion or some other factor to have an influence on the future beyond what one might expect.

The largest Wild Card is the public--if "We the People" devise a means of holding all officials accountable, of making all budgets transparent, and of eliminating all fraud, waste, and abuse, there is a real possibility that we could create infinite wealth for all. The economy of secrecy and scarcity benefits the few and is unaffordable by all. The open money economy, on the other hand, bring immediate localized relief to all communities, and opens the way for ending the concentration of wealth that is only possible under the existing archaic financial system that treats people as goods rather than as owners in common of the Earth.

See Change
Hundreds of organizations and thousands of people worldwide have initiated a campaign to change the status of the Roman Catholic church at the United Nations. Concerned that the church has flown in under UN radar by calling itself the Holy See, we have called on the Secretary-General to review the church's current status as a Non-member State Permanent Observer. We believe that the Holy See, the government of the Roman Catholic church, should participate in the UN in the same way as the world's other religions do—as a non-governmental organization. 8
