Having matured after more than 60 years of unopposed & unprecedented growth, now holding unimaginable wealth & power, your modern Honorable East India Company (youtube.com) is facing a new existential threat. Without immediate action the imminent demise is guaranteed;
Having been in complete control of all local medias, you are able to ensure that only sparse & favorable reports make it to the news headlines, ensuring that the extent of atrocities committed on foreign lands would never be revealed, else the public would be sure to oppose the profits expansion of your modern East India Company.
Tens of years of complete media control have demonstrated population compliance as a result, & has made you bold: You now resort to outright lies; stage monstrous & deadly domestic events, blame it on foreign mountain men, then use the media to steer public outrage to to support invasion of target countries. The lives of its citizens forever changed for the worse. Friendly puppets erected, while at home your medias paint a bleak past of its populace, under a previous tyrannical rule. And the citizens back home know little.
Meanwhile at home, your actions ensure the income gap chasm widens to unimaginable levels. Corrupting politicians & funding think tanks to stand as a barrier between policy makers and the people they are meant to represent.
But now, after more than twenty years of its existence, the Great Information Plane Equalizer is about to effect change that will likely bring an end to your modern Honorable East India Company. The large local masses are about to realize the massive level of deception you’ve lulled them all into. You are scared they will seek retribution. There’s no place left for refuge; the rest of the world will see to your demise, you have destroyed its people’s lives for profit.
Your Honorable East India Company faces its existential crisis. A plan is needed.
You must convince the local citizens, somehow, to willingly give up their fortune. To this end you use your diminishing influence to force onto the people a climate change accord: to tax heavily all energies, all products & services. These taxes, worth 130 trillion currency over twenty years, will officially go to developing countries as a means for them to develop more cleanly. You will also ensure ‘equity’ & ‘inclusion’ by means of strict control the energy intake of all locals, while exponentially increasing food exports. You now have the unconditional support of all foreign goverments: they will help you censor & help you gain control of the climate change narrative.
You are unsure that your plan will work. A backup plan to weaken your current countries must be pursued. Over the next few years you will endeavour to sabotage all new energy production while promoting a shift towards clean energy so that a ramp-up of military might will be impossible. If the original plan fails, you have now succeeded in stunting your countrymen, to ensure that the rest of the world surrounds it into a check mate, while it recovers. You hope that this will be enough to earn you some forgiveness from those which your modern East India Company plundered.
The only thing you need now,
…is time.
