The United Nations isn't known for underestimating either its omniscience or its incredible management abilities to deliver whatever it deems necessary for the unfortunate peoples of the world - peoples that its sponsors seem to consider supernumerary - a gigantic overload on the capabilities of mother Earth to support them all.

So its latest proposals to set up an "Emergency Platform" for taking world control by the scruff whenever any "Complex Global Shock" is deemed incoming is only the logical and sensible action to take, and no doubt grateful national leaders all around the world will happily endorse this proposal (a) because it's the easy thing to do and (b) because they prefer to listen to the charlatans at the UN than to their own populations.

I note the weasel word "complex" snugly ensconced within the incoming verbiage.

Meaning of "complex":

"don't you worry your simple little heads about the enormous difficulty that you will encounter in understanding these nasty global shocks - you can safely leave that to us and our experts and just do as you are told"

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

Just say "no".
