We need a new world-culture, a global synthesis of interconnectedness and global consciousness. We need a global citizenship movement that will promote social justice and social transformation. We must fight for fundamental human rights, over all national law and cultural identity—there must be equality for everyone! Global citizens are not born; they are created through social engineering. Children, you lack a global perspective on shared humanity, but we will indoctrinate you over time. Since you are part of this cult, you must help bridge the gap and rectify all misinformation. Remember, we global citizens are New World Order ambassadors. We must not only reflect on the virtues of globalism, but we must also act on them. As we reeducate the sheep, we must live a lifestyle of activism. True leaders are global citizens, whether they are CEOs, prime ministers, or just like you: Children of the Corn (Children of the Beast).
The number one (propaganda) issue that underscores our interconnectedness is climate change. The earth depends on our collective stewardship, which transcends all geopolitical borders and economies. One of our most important duties is to protect and enforce our global(ist) compacts. The health of the planet and society depends on useful idiots like us to lead the charge.
Smart cities are the engines of global control. They are full of opportunities, which we’ll exploit. This is a classic case of global multidimensionalism, which not only involves all facets of life, but is also omnipresent (The internet is borderless, and so is globalization). The most successful city is a smart city, because it’s interconnected globally. It reaches to the corners of the earth through smart technologies like the Internet of things, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning. Now we are faced with a secular humanist phenomenology and a new age cosmology in which we must develop new and efficient methodologies. This paradigm shift is in perfect alignment with the values of global citizenship.
Take the jab, take the Mark. Be a sheep, awaken the dark. Bow the knee, bow in submission. Worship the Beast, son of perdition.
Children of the Corn—deeply rooted, widespread. Children of the Beast—tares uprooted, twice dead.
Matthew 24:4 “Then Jesus replied to them: ‘Watch out that no one deceives you.’”
“What I need is perspective. The illusion of depth, created by a frame, the arrangement of shapes on a flat surface. Perspective is necessary. Otherwise there are only two dimensions... Otherwise you live in the moment. Which is not where I want to be.”
―(Margaret Atwood: The Handmaid's Tale)―

OK, my friends, today was a milestone. It was THE first time since I went out with my new toy that I actually felt like I got something.
Rick Lowe’s Fire #4 - This Time Athens, 2023 is a dynamic, large-scale painting that pulses with vibrant energy and layers of meaning. On view at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C., this monumental work captures the viewer’s attention with a dense network of interwoven red, orange, and yellow brushstrokes that build a visual lattice across the canvas.
Born from Lowe’s community-focused artistic practice, this piece draws inspiration from his time spent in Athens, Greece, reflecting the city’s urban energy and the complex intersections of history, culture, and contemporary life. The painting is part of Lowe’s ongoing Fires series, which began in response to global social and political upheaval, addressing themes of resilience, transformation, and collective experience.
In Fire #4 - This Time Athens, 2023, Lowe employs an abstract language of repeated lines and shapes that resemble a tapestry of marks, forming a dense yet ordered chaos that evokes the textures of cityscapes, the rhythm of everyday life, and the collective human experience. The bold, fiery hues echo the warmth of the Mediterranean sun while hinting at the social tensions that ignite change.
Lowe’s use of acrylic paint and his layering technique add depth and complexity to the composition, inviting viewers to navigate the surface and discover hidden pathways of meaning. His work bridges the gap between abstraction and social commentary, engaging audiences in a dialogue about place, community, and identity.
As a prominent figure in socially engaged art, Lowe’s painting reflects his dedication to fostering dialogue and understanding through creative practice. Fire #4 - This Time Athens, 2023 is a testament to the power of art to illuminate and transform.

Carla McAuliffe, "World Friendship Fair," digital photograph, 2008, _Krista McAuliffe's Collection_, Dahlonega, GA.
This is a picture of an Austrian Barbie doll. My troop got this Barbie doll to one year for the World Friendship Fair. At the World Friendship Fair, each troop chooses a country that is a part of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts to research and present. Our country was Austria. The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) was established in 1928. The Association continues to have celebrations all over the world to celebrate girls all over the world and the program created for them. In Amman, Jordan delegates from 122 countries participated in the 32nd World Conference in 2005 which was held over five days. There are five regions that are a part of WAGGGS: Africa, Arab, Asia Pacific, Europe and the Western Hemisphere. The mission of WAGGGS is "to enable girls and young women to develop their fullest potential as responsible citizens of the world." South Africa is a part of these five regions. When the program began expanding into other countries outside of Europe and America problems were created both abroad and at home because the ideologies and activities of each group differed. The program faced difficulties accommodating different races, religions, languages, and nations in the new global sisterhood. Most of this program expansion occurred after the end of World War I during a period of Internationalism. When Great Britain began expanding their empire, they took along with them their beliefs into each country it conquered. The English believed that only their beliefs were justified and that all other people were barbaric and primitive. The hope of the British by introducing the Scout and Guide movement to South Africa was to rid the people of their “uncivilized” and “primitive” tendencies. In Britain youth were taught about “white settlers” and “native tribes,” but the empire had to rephrase this when speaking to their new colony members. Great Britain began the process of “Othering.” “This segregation of racial groups was accompanied by an attempt to colonize through the [teachings] of British cultural ideals, particularly regarding male and female role,” which often conflicted with the beliefs of the colonized. By colonizing other countries and spreading the Girl Guides along with it, Great Britain was able to work on their imperial project and stated goal of multi-racial internationalism. Lord Baden Powell while in the army traveled to South Africa and used it as a testing ground for many ideas later used in the Scouts and Guides. Not only did the English impose their culture on the South Africans and other colonized people, but the English scouts also picked up aspects of their culture through songs and games. A lot of the campfire rituals came from Lord Baden Powell and Great Britain’s interactions with the South Africans. Although South Africa was one of the first countries for Great Britain to spread the Girl Guide Movement to, many other countries joined the movement. Through Great Britain’s colonization and imperialism, the Girl Guide and Girl Scout program was able to be spread.

The International Business School Network had its annual networking event on September 19, 2014 at ESCP Europe's Paris Campus.

The nine participating institutions were ESCP Europe, Aston University, Catholic University of Portugal, City University of Hong Kong, Maastricht University, HEC Montréal, Queensland University of Technology, University of Mannheim, and Strathclyde Business School.
Frank Bournois, new ESCP Europe Dean, began the evening by saying how he is always fascinated by how much international business thinking happens on the ESCP Europe Paris campus and within the IBS network. Key note speaker, Jean Louis Beffa, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Saint Gobain and board member of GDF Suez, Siemens A.G., BNP Paribas etc. had the theme of European Identity and Global Perspective. He hosted interesting discussion about his career and gave advice to the audience, focusing on French companies that succeed internationally and which strategic qualities one needs to lead one of them. The networking cocktail with special artists guests, Marie Rauzy and Patrick Miran, concluded the evening.
