So this will be an open ended contract between myself, the most influential members of the international super class, and any other party who, with consideration, also signs their name to it. Anyone who would like can republish it anywhere. If anyone knows an oligarch please forward.
Your systems of control are failing. You are running out of new suckers for your global ponzi. You are preparing for the battle that will inevitably ensue between yourselves and certain "rebellious" elements. Even if you are confident about the outcome of this battle even you recognize that the outcome is far from certain. I propose an alternative to conflict. I propose a compromise that will make both parties better off.
Your end: Expose your selves. Confess your crimes. Publicly abdicate your thrones. Dissolve your governments. Grant us our freedom.
our end: We pardon you of EVERY crime you ever committed. You will have a completely blank slate. you will never answer for anything you have done. Furthermore you can keep every last penny you acquired through any ill-gotten means.
This arrangement will be good for us because we can finally begin to afford to build decent lives for ourselves.
But where its really interesting is how it will positively impact you mr oligarch. You will be wealthy beyond imagination if you defeat us in battle and you will be wealthy beyond imagination if you accept this offer. But what would you prefer, to be kings of shit mountain, or opulently wealthy in a society that is orders of magnate more productive than even the west is today?
ask yourself this mr oligarch. Which do you think is more likely to grant you your coveted immortality? You know the answer, you know how much more productive man kind is when he is free and with this deal you get to keep all of your money, so you will certainly be able to afford it.

i give the wachowski brothers original credit for this concept as it was outlined already, i believe, allegorically in the matrix revolutions.
