So many things that destroy nature are now being sold as its salvation. Within the Contact Notes, Billy Meier has warned mankind of the subterfuge which lies beneath the pretense of protecting the environmental on the parts of government, large corporations and wealthy individuals.
Billy: Good, then listen: environmental protection is useless, because millions and billions invested in it are pointless and useless, because the money is used for things, measures as well as for idiotic machinations that bring nothing and no success to protect the planet and nature as well as fauna and flora, the atmosphere and the climate and slowly let it recover.
The fact that billions in money are released for all kinds of measures for environmental protection is of no use at all, because this way, in order to save the Earth, nature and fauna and flora etc., the money is only thrown into the mud, because it does not stop environmental pollution in the least.
Beneficial alone to stop the environment from being polluted, to save the planet from the depletion of its resources, to protect nature and to save fauna and flora from extinction, is really and only possible by stopping births for many years.

What Is a NAC?
In September of 2021, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) quietly announced that it had created a new asset class with a listing, “to preserve and restore the natural assets that ultimately underpin the ability for there to be life on Earth.”
Called a natural asset company, or NAC, the vehicle will allow for the formation of specialized corporations “that hold the rights to the ecosystem services produced on a given chunk of land, services like carbon sequestration or clean water.”
These NACs will then “maintain, manage and grow the natural assets they commodify, with the end goal of maximizing the aspects of that natural asset that are deemed by the company to be profitable.”
So, the ultimate goal of NACs is not sustainability or conservation – it is the financialization of nature, i.e., turning nature into a commodity that can be used to keep the current Wall Street economy booming under the guise of protecting the environment and preventing its further degradation.
This is effectively a fast track to the commercialization of natural resources. This is less about protecting nature and more about making money from “Nature’s Economy” – which has come with an enticing price tag.

The NYSE (New York Stock Exchange) recently announced a two-year partnership with Intrinsic Exchange Group (IEG) to open investment opportunities in what it calls “Nature’s Economy.” IEG describes itself as a “pioneering natural asset company.” One of the main investors is the Rockefeller Foundation.
The “assets” of the “Nature’s Economy” are estimated to be more than $4,000 trillion, or $4 quadrillion (the current economy is estimated to be about $512 trillion; thus, the value of the current economy is only about 8% of the value of the “Nature’s Economy”)
- Every “asset” will have an owner
- Ownership by NACs will enable domination of not only the economy, but the entire natural world
- Owners will dictate who gets access to clean water, clean air, wild lands, and previously untapped, dwindling natural resources.
- Abolition of Freedoms. In many practices, freedom is now considered a service or privilege, not a fundamental right.
The players in this new “Nature’s Economy” asset arena are familiar faces. Amazon founder, Jeff Bezos with his Bezos Earth Fund, the Carnegie Foundation and the Ikea Foundation recently announced a joint venture – The Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet, which is being billed as “an innovation that brings together some of the guiding lights in philanthropy and eight international development finance organizations, including the World Bank, to address a specific need, with a clear strategy and targets, regional expertise, and some serious resources”.
The alliance will support projects with an initial pot of USD 10 billion to kickstart the adoption of greener solutions. The premise is that, once the right solutions are found, the private sector will step in with further investment of USD 100 billion to unleash the power of the green economy.

Other notable players include BlackRock, the world’s biggest asset manager; André Hoffmann, the family patriarch of Roche, the largest pharmaceutical company in the world; and of course, Bill Gates who has been buying up farmland in the US: https://www.vox.com/recode/22528659/bill-gates-largest-farmland-owner-cascade-investments
Paul Bodnar, formerly the head of BlackRock Sustainable Investing for two years, announced in April of this year, that he was leaving the position to join Jeff Bezos’ $10 billion Bezos Earth Fund. An internal memo to staff circulated at that time said that BlackRock had assets invested through its dedicated sustainable investing platform that stood at around $500 billion, out of its roughly $8.6 trillion in total assets, and that Bodnar had been “central to that success”. Bodnar said the company had “changed the way the financial sector thinks about sustainability” and was “one of the first to recognize the potential for climate risk to reshape finance“.

Above is a graphic summary of plans for the exploitation of what is now being called the “economy of nature”. You can see at a glance the price tag that has been placed on its head and why traditional philanthropy – based on donations – is suddenly being declared a “total failure” and replaced with “investment philanthropy” which is not based on giving, but on taking.
In a public display of gratuitous back slapping, André Hoffmann, the head of pharmaceutical giant, Roche, was awarded the 2022 David Rockefeller Bridging Leadership Award. What was the “bridging leadership” that André was awarded for? In 2021, he had made multiple public comments stating, “The traditional form of philanthropy has failed.” In its’ place, he announced that the family fortune would only give to investments that were economically sustainable.
In the introduction speech given at the award ceremony to Andre, the presenter stated, “All businesses depend on nature, one way or another, and a loss of species or biomass, certainly is irreversible. André definitely is a passionate advocate of the multi stakeholder business model, that, yes, also includes planet and future generations working the broader system of needed changes and redefining new business models.”
Following that introduction, André said within his acceptance speech, “A new contract between nature and humanity. How can we create something that is mutually beneficial? What we need is leadership. What we need is people who are able to take bold and courageous decisions to bring forward these choices. And frankly, if you want to see this new world order, I can only see businesses run in the proper manner to be able to bring us to this status. Its’ not going to be the non-profit sector who succeeds to do that, the sustainable prosperity we are talking about.”
And how will Jeff Bezos spend US $10 Billion, the seed money for the Bezos Earth Fund? The question was answered by the first president and CEO, Andrew Steer in a tweet:
“The Earth Fund will invest in scientists, NGOs, activists, and the private sector to help drive new technologies, investments, policy change, and behavior. We will emphasize social justice, as climate change disproportionately hurts poor and marginalized communities.”

The use of ‘paid activists’ within the environmental movement has been mentioned several times by Billy Meier in recent Contact Reports.
Although the commercialization of nature has been justified with the protection of natural resources, when you scratch beneath the surface, greed and avarice become clearly visible. Don’t be fooled by how benevolent and humanitarian this all seems.
“Across the world, ‘green grabbing’ – the appropriation of land and resources for environmental ends – is an emerging process of deep and growing significance. The vigorous debate on ‘land grabbing’ already highlights instances where ‘green’ credentials are called upon to justify appropriations of land for food or fuel – as where large tracts of land are acquired not just for ‘more efficient farming’ or ‘food security’, but also to ‘alleviate pressure on forests’. In some cases, these involve the wholesale alienation of land, and in others the restructuring of rules and authority in the access, use and management of resources that may have profoundly alienating effects. Green grabbing builds on well-known histories of colonial and neo-colonial resource alienation in the name of the environment.” – excerpted from “Green Grabbing: a new appropriation of nature?” by James Fairhead, Melissa Leach & Ian Scoones https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/03066150.2012.671770
Even the World Economic Forum is getting in on the action with its 2020 report, Nature Risk Rising. Its subtitle is “Why the crisis engulfing Nature matters for business and the economy,” and its second report, “The Future of Nature and Business,” states that “a new nature economy could generate up to $10.1 trillion in annual enterprise value and create 395 million jobs by 2030.”
The Green Economy: The Dangerous Path of Nature Commoditization written by Mark Wilson in a 2013 paper highlights that the so-called “green economy” fails to address five fundamental problems and therefore has the potential to increase environmental degradation and cause even greater social injustice than we experience today: https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/161452825.pdf
These new NACs, in many cases, will act a bit like real estate agents for Mother Nature. Imagine a situation where a corporation is able to select a natural area, assign a price to it, disenfranchise all previous claimants, take ownership, and then sell portions of that land/lake/ocean/mountain, etc. to institutional shareholders – especially the multinational corporations that may have funded the NAC in the first place.
NACs will seek to assign value to the services that natural resources provide, such as carbon retention, freshwater production, pest control, groundwater storage, and erosion control.

Here are some examples of how “green” measures are already generating billions of dollars:
- Carbon offsets/biodiversity offsets. Compensating for damage caused elsewhere by re-vegetating areas destroyed by previous development. Large corporations such as BlackRock, JPMorgan, and Disney are investing significant sums in this area.
- Green bonds
- Extraction of natural resources, e.g., oil, gas, minerals.
- Destruction of natural habitats for food crops
- Greenwashing – the process by which a company gives a false impression about the environmental friendliness of its products and/or services
- Seed patents
- Patenting of genetically modified/manipulated plants and animals
- Buying up large tracts of agricultural land. Large investors such as Bill Gates and other large investors are making massive inroads in this area
- Control of water supply.

In the world currently being constructed by these and related entities, where even freedom is being re-framed not as a right but “a service,” the natural processes on which life depends are similarly being re-framed as assets, which will have owners. This is very much advised against in the Creational Teachings:
The Goblet of Truth, page 25 & 27
163) Do you not know that the domain of the firmament (universe) and of the earths (worlds/planets) belongs to the primal power (Creation) alone, but that you are set above all as governors, as protectors and helpers for yourselves, for all life and everything existing?
180) The laws of the primal power (laws of the creation) require that you make each place into a place of peace and freedom and love and consonance (harmony); and supply all inhabitants of all places with fruits and other nourishments, both those who are knowing and those who are unknowing; but keep your descendants’ numbers within limits so that no hunger, suffering, hatred, vice or any evil disasters originate and there is no destruction wrought on the world, its appearance (nature) and the world of animals and other creatures (birds, fishes, reptiles, etc.) and on the air, on the waters and the weather; and do good deeds for all people of your kind (human beings) for all time, and no one shall be driven into the fire of hardship, because this is not a destiny.
The conceptual idea for applying an economic paradigm to nature received its’ validity, in part, from a highly esteemed research paper titled, The Economics of Biodiversity: The Dasgupta Review.
The Dasgupta Review
“Our economies, livelihoods and wellbeing all depend on our most precious asset: nature. We are part of nature, not separate from it.” – opening lines of the Dasgupta Review
Biodiversity is declining faster than at any time in human history and the review aims to create a new economic framework, grounded in ecology, that enables humanity to live on Earth sustainably. “Our demands far exceed nature’s capacity to supply us with the goods and services we all rely on.” says Prof Sir Partha Dasgupta in the review, which was commissioned by the UK Treasury. Excerpt from the Introduction:
“We are facing a global crisis. We are totally dependent upon the natural world. It supplies us with every oxygen-laden breath we take and every mouthful of food we eat. But we are currently damaging it so profoundly that many of its natural systems are now on the verge of breakdown.”
“Now we are plundering every corner of the world, apparently neither knowing or caring what the consequences might be. Each nation is doing so within its own territories. Those with lands bordering the sea fish not only in their offshore waters but in parts of the ocean so far from land that no single nation can claim them. So now we are stripping every part of both the land and the sea in order to feed our ever-increasing numbers.”
Interestingly enough, here, the Dasgupta Review draws the same conclusion that Billy Meier has been warning about for decades, namely, the danger and consequences of overpopulation. “Humanity’s growing population must also be tackled,” he says, but falls short of recommending a birth-stop protocol, as recommended by Billy; but rather Dasgupta recommends: “Addressing the shortfall [in women’s access to education and family planning] is essential, even if the effects may not be apparent in the short-term.”
The report continues:
“We are now so mechanically ingenious that we are able to destroy a rainforest, the most species-rich ecosystem that has ever existed, and replace it with plantations of a single species in order to feed burgeoning human populations on the other side of the world.”
“How has the natural world managed to survive this unrelenting ever-increasing onslaught by a single species? The answer of course, is that many animals have not been able to do so.”
“Consider the following facts. Today, we ourselves, together with the livestock we rear for food, constitute 96% of the mass of all mammals on the planet. Only 4% is everything else –from elephants to badgers, from moose to monkeys. And 70% of all birds alive at this moment are poultry – mostly chickens for us to eat. We are destroying biodiversity, the very characteristic that until recently enabled the natural world to flourish so abundantly. If we continue this damage, whole ecosystems will collapse. That is now a real risk.”
The Dasgupta Review has made a profound and influential international impact. Nina Seega, at the University of Cambridge’s Institute for Sustainability Leadership, has said: “The review’s focus on completely rewiring mainstream economic and financial models is key to moving the nature debate on to the agenda of governments, financial regulators and individual financial firms.”
A tidal wave of earth human intelligentsia has missed the point.
Listen.
Billy: “In addition, it must still be recognised that overpopulation alone is the true cause of all destruction in every respect, consequently it must be drastically reduced. But this truth must first arise in the skulls and brains of the Earthlings as a realisation, but through delusion and stupidity the Earthling obviously does not yet understand that overpopulation is the true reason for the destruction of the environment, the destruction of the atmosphere, the climate, the ecosystems, the whole of nature and its fauna and flora by the Earthlings in the form of this overpopulation. But the truth is that the huge mass of humanity is exploiting the Earth’s resources to the hilt, processing what has been stolen from the planet and polluting it, all ecosystems, the atmosphere, nature and its fauna and flora with the resulting products. The end products created with the resources result in destructive waste, which the mass of humanity carelessly and criminally throws out into nature, thus creating the huge and all-destructive environmental pollution.”
A study published in the peer-reviewed journal, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, in 2017, confirms everything that Billy has been saying and warns that the “biological annihilation” of wildlife in recent decades means a sixth mass extinction in Earth’s history is under way and is more severe than previously feared.
Titled, “Biological annihilation via the ongoing sixth mass extinction signaled by vertebrate population losses and declines,” it contains an unusually sober tone for a scientific paper. Wildlife is dying out due to habitat destruction, overhunting, toxic pollution, invasion by alien species and climate change. But the ultimate cause of all of these factors is “human overpopulation and continued population growth, and overconsumption, especially by the rich”, say the scientists, who include Prof Paul Ehrlich, at Stanford University in the US, whose 1968 book, The Population Bomb is a seminal, if controversial, work.
Excerpt from the abstract: “The population extinction pulse we describe here shows, from a quantitative viewpoint, that Earth’s sixth mass extinction is more severe than perceived when looking exclusively at species extinctions. Therefore, humanity needs to address anthropogenic population extirpation and decimation immediately. That conclusion is based on analyses of the numbers and degrees of range contraction (indicative of population shrinkage and/or population extinctions according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature) using a sample of 27,600 vertebrate species, and on a more detailed analysis documenting the population extinctions between 1900 and 2015 in 177 mammal species. We find that the rate of population loss in terrestrial vertebrates is extremely high—even in “species of low concern.”
In an interview with the Guardian, Ehrlich said, “The time to act is very short. It will, sadly, take a long time to humanely begin the population shrinkage required if civilization is to long survive, but much could be done on the consumption front and with ‘band aids’ – wildlife reserves, diversity protection laws – in the meantime.”

The NAC thing sounds like it has an unworkable job ahead of itself and potentially a boondoggle if you will. Consider the below pollution as examples which I dont believe NACs will be responsible for clean up much like “All Natural” lables are on food. It may or may not contain High Fructose Corn Syrup!

These rich elites are so disgusting to me! They self appointed themselves as owners of nature?! Who they think they are?! Nature belongs to everyone, and everyone is responsible for maintaining our ecosystems in one way or another. This is mind blowing to me, the audacity of these people! It’s like they are the owners of the planet, and I bet that when the feces hit the fan, they will all run to space and make “outer space” exclusive for them, owning it as well. The audacity and stupidity!!!
Agreed. They don’t give a flip about the environment . This is a money grab for the very long term. They are the ones who have exploited the earth to point of extinction. They never talk about deep Geo Thermal or a 7 year birth stop. Those are two things that will help everyone without a loss of freedom or a big investment on their part.
It’s been hidden in the language they use for the masses. If they had been honest from the beginning we would have been hearing the words Pollution crisis all over the news instead of Climate change or Global warming. If they had been drumming pollution crisis into our heads people would have taken responsibility for their consumerism. That would lead to the elite losing control over the market and crashed the stock exchange eventually. Instead they have bought time for the big corps to slowly ‘go green” and continue the madness. Just a simple play with wording has managed to keep the masses blindly watching their Tv’s awaiting for instructions from their masters.
It’s really scary how easy it is for them to lead the people astray.
This development towards a nature based economy seems like one of those dystopian sci-fi movies where you have to work for oxygen, water and food credits..
Excerpts from the 691st Official Contact-conversation of October 20, 2017
“The Earth humankind will bring about the most unscrupulous and life-disdaining and human-disdaining systems of rule, as have never before appeared on the Earth, whereby the executors of the rule and regency, those greedy for possessions and the mighty capitalists will steer the ship of humanity from one catastrophe to another.”
Peter Thiel, a well-known venture capitalist and entrepreneur, has been instrumental in the formation of various successful companies. One of his key concepts is the formation of what he calls NACs, or “New Artificial Commodities.” Thiel believes that these NACs can be valuable assets in the future and has been actively promoting their development.
NACs are essentially new technologies or inventions that have the potential to become highly sought-after commodities. Thiel argues that just as oil and gold have been valuable commodities in the past, there will be new commodities that emerge as technology advances. He sees NACs as a way to capitalize on these new opportunities and create wealth.
While the concept of NACs may seem speculative, Thiel has a track record of investing in breakthrough technologies that have revolutionized industries. For example, he was an early investor in companies like Facebook and PayPal, both of which have become dominant players in their respective markets.
Thiel’s emphasis on NACs aligns with his belief in the power of technological progress and innovation. He sees these new commodities as potential drivers of economic growth and prosperity. By identifying and investing in NACs, Thiel aims to be at the forefront of the next wave of groundbreaking inventions.
However, it is important to note that the success of NACs is not guaranteed. The development and adoption of new technologies can be unpredictable, “Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future.” “Zero to One” was published in 2014 and contains insights on Thiel’s views on NACs and the importance of exploring new market spaces.
