Most of us here today, can hardly claim to have been direct participants in any of the previous 'World wars'. In fact our ideas of the world wars have been as a continuous elaboration by historians - more often a matter of hindsight.

But as the Historian must be relevant to his/her times by informing leadership on the path to be taken, it turns out that the trail that one must adhere to is that of historical patterns derived from a range of historians across time. And that has been my method in answering the question, 'Could the world as we share and experience it, be in a global and world changing conflict?'

And the answer I get is a 'Yes'. The more I think about it, the more I realize how Kenya for example, has been affected, and how these effects have in turn made our country to be in a precarious position. 'Terrorist' attacks, and heightening insecurity due to poor economic and governance performance, are major issues in our time, and our solutions have been falling short. For example, why is it that terror attacks have gone on even after prior warnings? Why is it that in many cases being fore-warned hasn't been being fore-armed?

These questions and many others have only found a useful answer in the presence of a widespread and powerful shift in global order. Even matters like the cases at the ICC, the calls for 'dialogue' by the opposition, 'misuse' of funds by the county governments, corruption, all these are forces at work and whose singular aim to establish a new world order of Corporate supremacy rather than citizen or state supremacy.

Consequently, all states are under immense pressure to conform to corporate power and demands, even when these demands go against the citizen. For example, only corporate networks can determine the employment rates of a nation state.

This corporate supremacy has a rich and ancient tradition of humans being tool makers. The tool makes the civilization, and corporates now are the tool makers.

Tools are made for optimal gains, and because the capacity to make tools is available to most humans, the optimization of tools is the source of all conflict.

We have a great tool problem: the international finance system and it's reliance on the dollar can't handle the demands of globalization. For example, it has become difficult for the US to further international financial objectives as well as its domestic objectives positively. One has to suffer for the other. That is, America is in a trap, and the rest of the world in tow.

So far, American interest is to maximize on corporate returns and ease out of a decadent system. How can it achieve this in such a complex state of affairs in which there's no a sense of global control? The answer is, escalate war, break down nation states or transform them to increase control.

This has been the motif, and motive of attack. Kenya and African countries need therefore an effective strategy to protect and generate her wealth, protect and nurture free and powerful citizens, and to attain a mutual and powerful position in the new world order.

How to do this?

I think it has been expounded in paragraph 9

If you look at the great powers, Russia included you'll discover a common trend. Each of them is restructuring the economy quickly. China is involving the private sector in service provision for example. But what's Kenya doing? It's keeping up state control and service provision. That means in a few years we'll find ourselves stuck in debt and grossly underdeveloped.

And given the increasing power of vulture funds, we may find ourselves losing assets at an alarming rate. And since property and freedom are heavily linked we'll get more and more into Slavery.

Like now, escalating conflict is likely to translate into tight grip Police states.

So the question is what strategy we need to develop so that we can survive and excel at the least cost possible.

A transport network alone can't resolve the stated problem(s). The problems mentioned above aren't about distribution.
