How many buildings and developments would need to be purchased before an area is totally controlled by a corporation? Your constitution protects citizens to a degree, but an overwhelming presence of one particular group, be it race based, religion based or socia/economic based would make it uncomfortable for anyone else to live there. The big difference with what is being proposed in Honduras is that they would be sovereign territories unto themsleves, outside the countries law. |

Looks to me as if they are being 'directed' to do all this stuff, and their culture is one of few, that would respond with little resistance. The places they build these in would suggest stable strata, regardless of any Earth change. Honduras, would then be a place that suggests stability, in terms of geo-position, should Earth changes occur. Maybe these places are the real 'life boats' suggested in that movie 2012? |

It has been the case for a long while now. When the Honduran ones come on line, there will be less of a mystery me thinks. We can see who buys in, what corps set up shop etc. The law structure will be most interesting, as it will be the first open corporately controlled sovereign entity. People buying in will be aware of that and will need to abide by the corporations laws. Its a huge thing we're looking at here. I am a bit surprised more sites havent noticed this. |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 15456734 Australia 09/11/2012 11:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | As for Honduras, there are no cultural or language blockages to stop everyone knowing exactly what their intent is. Did you read the article? If you missed it, I am saying the Honduran exercise is what the China cities may be about, and if so, it implies a few things, especially if each city is given it's sovereignty, despite being part of another country. Total corporate control, out in the open. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 23592283 Canada 09/12/2012 12:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I can think of a few possibilities: 1) They were built with your pension money which some fool lent them and is now totaly lost but still on the books as a billion dollar real estate investment. 2) They are the future homes of all the traitors who sold us out and all our jobs and factories to the Chinese. Ready and waiting for the days we begin shooting those fuckers in the streets. I lean toward #2. I've heard some of them are built to resemble Paris, Venice and New York City with charming brownstones and Pizza shops. Every traitor will feel right at home in a prison that resembles his former country. |

This explains why these cities are far inland. Wasn't explained whether the inundation was due to global warming or something else. |

They have a hundred year plan, were America plans four years at a time, from one election to the next. The Chinese always plan a hundred years in advance, so these cities have a place in that plan. Anyone that has studied eastern civilization knows this to be true. :TOMABANEFOX: It's more humane this way ya know, or burn on totem pole. Choice is yours. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 602706 United Kingdom 09/12/2012 01:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Those amazing 'ghost' cities in the middle of nowhere in China have beena the subject of much speculation. Quoting: BadHairDay [If you've never seen them, look here - [link to www.businessinsider.com] Personally, I have seen them as doomsday cities, in readiness for some disaster that might occur, forcing populations inland, especially to China. They are estimated to house 40 million people so far. When Fukashima occured, I thought they might be an avenue for the Japanese to evacuate their people to. I still think that, and believe defecites for the last decade or so are where the money was funnelled. BTW, I also think Fukashima is the least of Japan's worries. Their way of life and islands wont be there for much longer me thinks, soon to dissappear beneath the waves. E. Cayce once predicted that also. A friend sent me an article the other day about heavy investment in Honduras. The article is government sponsored and endorsed, and is a way forward for the small country, in the eyes of the current government. They are commissioning some large cities to be built. Brand new everything. Here's where it gets interesting. Brand new water pipes, brand new roads, infact brand new infrastructure from the ground up - including the city laws, judiciary and politics! These cities will be a state within a state! Completely separate in all laws etc than the country they reside in. Even commerce will be effected by the city, where by they chose to do business with whome ever their corporation choses to. That is HUGE! They will also control immigration and population of these cities. Sound like sci-fi? Reminds me of Logan's Run, or RoboCop's 'New Detroit', with some Aeon Flux thrown in. So, who on the planet has the money, will power and labour to build such cities? Obviously China does, and they already have the model. [link to www.tri-cityherald.com] Brings me to the why of it. Movies like 2012 suggested that portions of China would be the last safe haven when 'it' happens. 'It' is still a work in progress for me. Meteor, EQs, SolarHell, ascention, what ever... Ideas like expanding Earth work well for me, rather than comet or solar doom. The resultant expansion leaving some places high, and some places low - resulting in flooding, and displacement of large groups, even whole countries. If the Chinese were able to work out exactly what was going down, and plan around that, maybe these cities are a way of ensuring not only China's continuation, but other people's as well, allowing an instant economy to continue. A model where by each city is a sovereign territory, as layed out by the Hunduran's would suggest they will each have a flavour or sovereign direction. PS - thanks GD Interesting.. Honduras is building private cities also. |

"You have got seven to eight million people entering the workforce in China every single year, so you have to give them something to do in order to retain the legitimacy of the government," says Doran. "Maybe 10 or 15 years ago they were doing things that made sense - roads, rail, power stations etc - but they have now got to the point where it's investment for investment's sake."
