a blueprint for human prosperity
All my life I have been appalled by the human
suffering and misery on our beautiful planet. Suffering that seems to continue as if there were no
solution to the plight of humanity. And yet, in our
hearts most of us know that there are solutions to
our problems, and that these solutions are really
simple. But our so-called leaders do not provide
solutions. Instead, they sow more confusion and
misery.
The philosophy of Contributionism as a new
social structure was born in 2005. It was a consequence of my extensive research into the origins
of humankind and the deeply convoluted path of
deception that has lead us to this point as the human race.
After several years of testing the basic ideas
against the many sectors of our current system,

maliciously destroyed by capitalism, industrialisation, modernisation and ultimately the absolute
control by a handful of powerful and greedy individuals who have ruled the world for a long time
and who want to continue ruling it at all cost.
In 2005, I had what could be described as an
‘awakening experience’. Like millions of people
around the world I began to realise that there had
to be something more to this life than the strife
and misery that so many people experience on
a daily basis. I was determined to find a solution
and I was not going to accept any of the usual
feeble answers from a society that has slipped
into complacency and accepted its fate as a slave
race in blissful ignorance.
It became clear to me that humanity had become
a deeply divided species on so many levels. In
this divided struggle for survival and our relent-
