What if you were put in charge of the World tomorrow? How would you run the planet?

If you have arrived onto this page from an external link or search engine, the material below will make no sense whatsoever unless you know why this site was created. A very brief summary can be read by clicking here

This globally popular educational and research website (stolen from www.12-12-12.org) lists every national and international problem in the world in a rather unusual and entertaining way, so remember to bookmark www.harryrings.org in your favourites folder! For the record: Harry Potbelly Lord of the Onion Rings has decided to take over the World because it is in a mess. He has decreed that by December 12^th 2012 there will be global peace and no more poverty. Stop doing what you were going to do today and read on.................

Harry Potbelly Lord of the Onion Rings as Director of the Human Race and Manager Planet Earth commands and Andronicos "The Cynic" responds as follows.........

"People who say it cannot be done, should not interrupt those who are doing it."

My favourite topic. Imagine if a planet was discovered nearby the size of Earth that had air and water, yet needed substantial engineering projects and effort to get the water to its desert regions. Imagine weather conditions that with water were potentially ideal for growing food. There would be a frenzy of scientific activity to discuss how and when colonisation would take place. There would be no end of volunteers to move to such a planet where terraforming would be relatively quite minimal.

The main ingredients to eradicating extreme poverty which I want adopted as Director of the Human Race and Manager Planet Earth will now follow. 12 phases - some taking place simultaneously - will be the methodology I have chosen to adopt.

Phases 2-12

3.70.10 Kibbutz Oases
3.70.20 Labour to undertake the mammoth task
3.70.30 Water Sources
3.70.40 Building Material Sources
3.70.50 Plants
3.70.60 Markets
3.70.70 Protecting Indigenous Population
3.70.80 Energy Sources
3.70.90 Furniture Sources and Manufacture
3.70.100 Protecting Volunteers from Danger
3.70.110 International Sign Language for Volunteers
3.70.120 Crash Courses in learning languages while working
3.70.130 12 Minute Video
3.70.140 Celebrations for Volunteer Heroes
3.70.150 For NASA to advise
3.70.160 University Think Tanks
3.70.170 Sand Dune Flattening and Protection
3.70.180 Sand Inventions
3.70.190 Transportation of Volunteers. For Airforces to advise
3.70.200 For China to advise
3.70.210 For Libya to advise
3.70.220 For Coalition Army Generals to advise

Phase 1

So far I have described phases 2-12 but not phase 1, the most critical.

3.70.230 Phase 1 Impact

Phases 4-12

3.70.240 Phases 4-12 Concept
3.70.250 Contractual Issues

So here it is. The initial foundation stone of how to transform the Sahara into a giant food producing region which will directly and indirectly change the lives of hundreds of millions of poor people throughout the World.

It is up to the 200,000 World rulers to make such a historic event happen. I'm not inviting their assistance. I'm not requesting or directing it - I'm demanding it because it's right. If you have a brain the size of a planet - advise me by getting on the www.12-12-12.org/3.70 website. The best ideas will be made public.

This ends one of the most important sections within this book. It is the key to success for everything else.

Ponder............
It will take an average person 12 hours to read and understand the contents of this website and listen to 'The Speech'. Is one hour a day for 12 days too long? Why don't you email the www.12-12-12.org link to 12 of your friends and discuss their opinions in 12 days time? Maybe the 7th person in your email chain can break the secret code and the 12th person, may hold the key to World Peace. Are you or someone in your family the 7th or 12th person?
