Chapter 1 - All your Cyborgs will be Techno-Liberals
“There are no political solutions; there are only technological ones. The rest is propaganda.” - Jacques Ellul (b. 1912) in 1962
As nearly every part of our world becomes more digitally interconnected, and as MASS surveillance grows more unapologetically powerful, technological control over more aspects of modern life becomes consolidated into a fewer number of powerful transnational government, corporate, organizational, military, and financial interests.
Currently, the consolidation of technocratic authority over humans is managed from both earth and space-based “CONTROL GRIDS,” which operate across boundless “cloud” computing platforms that integrate under the computational control of next-level A.I. networked systems functioning at all different scales.
While plutocratic elites have long held workers and citizens’ economic fate in their hands, the difference today is that this same elite circle operating through their militarized surveillance operations, has added the tracking, quantification and commercialization of our very bodies and behaviors, even down to indexing the range of our most mundane daily tasks.
Essentially, if something CAN be quantified, it WILL be quantified… and everything quantifiable is at some point, of value to business and to the surveillance state and especially so in light of new HUMAN impact “investment” market mechanisms, which are expanding their reach and influence at unchecked speeds, by way of assigning each of us a Digital ID/Passport/Barcode inside the larger Internet of Bodies (IoB) on the way to helping the oligarchy realize its plan for fully-controlled economic growth model, that benefits them at the same time it confounds us.
Such an expansion of influence has been building in the West since the 1980s, when the free market movement let go of even the pretense of being inclusive or delivering benefits to the working and lower classes. It was at this point that plans for the digital commodification of individuals began in earnest, after it became obvious how easily CITIZENS let themselves be converted into more perfect “CONSUMERS” of very nearly anything that the elites chose to sell or impose upon them.
For decades now, the corporate-run media has worked to keep people glued to their TVs (and now doubly so to their smartphones) even as their politicians openly deceived them.
Though we can plainly SEE how subservient this class of “public figures/celebrities/actors” are to wealth and influence, still somehow, we (abetted by the media) continued to insist that our “leaders” CARED and even had our best interests at heart.
As people in all the “connected” nations fall deeper and deeper under the hypnotic electronic spell of CONSENSUS REALITY reinforced by the aforementioned “Propaganda Operating System” (POS), any likelihood that everyday people might one day regain a semblance of their earlier autonomous local/ working-class roots, awareness and social power grew more distant.
What happened was that a true citizen-based “republic” moved on or was “yanked” out of reach, as labor lost the economic “clout” that unions, more cohesive families as well as communities and regional economies had once exercised at national, state, county and town-levels.
(Whether or not elections are even conducted equitably and impartially anymore (as our last national election amply demonstrated) is an obvious question to ask, but also one aggressively obfuscated by the POS especially when the actual electoral outcomes align so closely to the interests of the corporatocracy and their media – as they so very often do.)
In any case, as far as the standard economic narrative goes, the ship of state may be lurching at precarious angles as wealthy’s fortunes rise, and everyone else’s fall, but that doesn’t prevent the media from continuing to propagate the exhausted myth of rugged individuality, of one person/one vote, even as the old-skool “left” people’s movement dissolves into violent and highly orchestrated social justice collisions of cults, memes, political correctness and ritual shaming. The elite’s code, “order out of chaos” has never been more clearly demonstrated in the active draining of societal relevance out of millions and millions of people’s lives. Their order thrives on our chaos.
Dire predictions of economic collapse have filled the ethers since the 2008 recovery (that NEVER was), which here too “magically” left the fortunes and reputations of the ruling class unscathed, and the financial security of lower classes devastated.
In the years since, there has been little evidence to suggest that a real working-class recovery or restoration of CLASS dignity and integrity of ANY sort might be out there, even on the distant horizon.
In considering recent events since the shock and awe of March 2020, we can see that financial elites are using the occasion of the false pandemic to make a more quantum leap away from the old economy, that they have long been intent on destroying, at the same time that the governments of the world, operating in “Lockstep” (as eerily foreseen on p.18 on this 2010 Rockefeller Foundation report) were ordered to seize and enforce emergency and totalitarian powers over the very NON-elite mass of their populations.
The world-wide announcement that arrived quite suddenly just prior to the Ides of March 2020, saw well over 150 countries stop regular economic activity and put their people under various states of the Covid quarantine “lockdown,” which took the entirely unprecedented step of applying even to perfectly healthy and asymptomatic individuals.
Secondary effects of this action also served to quell any lingering hope that economic circumstances for the majority of people might possibly get better before they got much worse.
As we can see now, 20+ months later, hopes for a speedy return to normal were pipe dreams fully without agency… and something over which no one outside of the elites and their transnational institutions had ANY control.
As it happened, the rooster crowed and the sleepers awoke to find themselves “shape-shifted” inside of a new Covid-1984-type prison society.
It is important to understand that the orders to fully shutdown economies did not issue from any individual government, or from any individual leader, but rather from much higher-up the Global Capital “pyramid.”
None of the world leaders at the time, neither Trump, Johnson, Merkel, Trudeau nor Macron, etc. could have instigated such a globally directed order on their own.
Can there be any doubt then, that the directives to shut down came from within those unelected interlocking directorates of those global institutions, run by that same elite 1% of the 1%, who hold the puppet strings and the keys to the vault on almost all the nations, banks, economies and militaries of the world? That responsibility for those closures had to rest with them, should be obvious, especially considering the suspiciously unified and telltale pattern of events that followed.
Perhaps the single most pushed public-facing media event was the World Economic Forum’s and Davos’ founder Klaus Schwab’s announcement on June 3, 2020, of the “GREAT RESET,” delivered as a fully formed plan, which not coincidentally, integrated seamlessly with the United Nations’ AGENDA 21/2030 global plan for meeting “Sustainable Development Goals” that was first agreed to by 178 nations in 1992 at the First Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro.
Putting the details and aims of the “Great Reset” alongside the UN Agenda 21/2130 plan, as well as even earlier plans that were developed by the Club of Rome in the late 1960s to advance the idea of “Climate Change” (as apocalyptic threat) and then connecting all those change scenarios within the broader technological and investment aims of the FOURTH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION (4IR) - all moderated again by the same largely anonymous Global Capital Banking and Insurance syndicates - leaves little doubt as to who and what has been calling the shots and what their longer-range goals might be.
At this point, it should be obvious that a new model of political, economic and technological DOMINION is swiftly moving into place. This next generation model is designed to supersede neoliberalism, which had operated so effectively and for so long within the frame of national borders, that are now rapidly and everywhere dissolving.
It is TECHNOCRACY that is being presented here as neoliberalism’s imminent successor, and to which ordinary citizens will have little choice but to submit. It is assumed by the elites that we, in fear of adverse consequences, and responding like docile puppets to their propaganda control technologies will offer only insignificant resistance to their repeated directives to do exactly as we are told. This explains the mad rush to get the majority of the developed world’s people inoculated and digitally tracked.
It is from such an empyrean perspective that they confidently believe top-down control will be established, maintained and distributed… via centralized “smart” grid technologies, through digital control of the money supply, through fiscal and regulatory policy - all sanctioned by law and “enforced” by police and military.
Although such a totalitarian model of polity and civic participation is the very antithesis of how openly democratic republics are supposed to operate, it would seem that those international cartels and monopolist CEOs came to the collective decision that after decades of funding their various global agencies via their acronym institutions like the UN, WHO, WEF, IMF, WB, BIS, etc., that the time had finally come to put them to work by elevating them to their intended purpose by way of launching their 2020 attack against humanity, for “all the marbles” - in grandiose winner-take-all fashion.
At this point, there seems little chance that the elites will retreat. It is too late for that, and too much has been invested. To anyone who has been following this story, their inhuman “Moloch” has been exposed for the devouring demon that it is, even though all but a small but growing body of people are utterly blind to the grand deception that is happening right before their eyes.
It is also important to consider how this new singular techno-fascist form of GLOBAL GOVERNANCE (which has long been referred to as the “New World Order”) will of necessity keep making itself incrementally more supportive of algorithmically-based transhuman “machines” than it will of biological human/animal forms, which in the elite’s eyes, need to be phased out of production, so that they can be quietly consigned to the trash heap of obsolete history.
A managed global “crisis” (such as the COVID “plandemic”) calls for a global response which gives their legions of disaster capitalists, philanthro-capitalists and social engineers all the justification they need to introduce their long-planned and highly integrated technocratic and digital economic models of centralized transhuman world governance.
I and others that I know, while we have long anticipated such an overthrow of the nation state, followed by the installation of globalized command and control structures, were nonetheless still caught off guard by the speed and force of the March 2020 action. Among those with whom I discuss such topics, it was generally agreed that the ruling elites would NOT have subjected themselves to such overwhelming “exposure” unless they were certain that they had all the essential governmental/administrative control and entrainment TECHNOLOGIES they needed at the ready and weaponized to move their larger war plan forward.
In looking at these technologies, first and foremost among them, are the SURVEILLANCE, BIO-MEDICAL and EMF technologies, which today can extend their reach right down into every corner of our lives, even into our bodies and bloodstreams, through the blood/brain barrier and into our very individual molecular/DNA core.
By leveraging the public’s same old fearful needs for “SAFETY & SECURITY,” the way has once again been opened for big pharma & legally-protected vaccine makers to mobilize and deliver products that transform and expand bio-medical surveillance and law enforcement mandates in ways fully reminiscent of the ways that similar anti-terrorist measures and legal actions were swiftly enacted post 9-11, which now upon reflection, may seem quaint in comparison to the current lightspeed Covid response, or to any response that might soon follow… owing to environmental and supply-chain collapses. or massive power outages or cyberattacks, which the World Economic Forum very predictively WARNED us about through their CYBER POLYGON (network security breach) simulations, just as “Event 201” in October of 2019, anticipated what would happen with the global pandemic only five months later.
Such gloomy cases of déjà vu of course, raise ominous questions as to the “REALITY” behind these so-called “natural disasters,” and to the longer-term aims of the global cyber-aristocracy, who through their science and media arms seem boldly certain that they can and MUST maintain their domination over the Earth and the collective fates of humankind.
Every day, we are witnessing the sprawling mycelial-like networks behind the technocracy reconfiguring their various social, political and economic aspects to directly impact more and more of our individual lives, and and thus resetting the world within which we must all struggle to survive.
In the time frame of the last 30 years, digital technology has proven itself unchallenged as the driver of new business, markets and wealth creation. Personal and “smart” mobile computing has in half that time transformed all parts of society to more constantly serve the militant aims of predatory surveillance capitalism.
As the levels of profit from natural resource acquisition and regional exploitation by multinational corporations have flattened in recent years, sustaining Wall Street’s imperatives for constant growth in profits have proven a challenge, for which “more of the same” resource confiscation no longer works as well as it did for decades.
Clearly, the time had arrived for some new evolutionary industrial renewal to occur. And such a paradigm appeared nearly fully formed within the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, its Great “Economic” Reset which the “Propaganda Operating System” (POS) turned into a brilliant new system of full spectrum info dominance built upon the “complicit” components of the science, social engineering and ubiquitous surveillance sectors, all fully augmented by rapidly advancing forms of artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Though the term TECHNOCRACY traces its origins to the 1930s, it is only in these last three decades that digital technologies have gone from crude, slow and undependable to sophisticated, fast and highly reliable – and fully capable of iterating its next evolution, all on its own.
Just as the WAR ON TERROR fueled the global economy for the past 20 years, so are today’s technocratic global elites assuming that an equally fabricated WAR ON PANDEMICS, microbiology and war-torn human immune systems will serve to fuel the next 20 years or more. They only need to invoke the Hegelian Dialectic once again by way of pointing to the infinitely profitable cancer industry to justify such ambitions.
What becomes revealed in this new biosecurity paradigm is not that it is here to replace the terror paradigm; but rather to be its all-inclusive fulfillment that neatly coincides with the demise of the biologically human along with their outmoded democracy-scaled institutions.
The problem for most of the world’s “first-world” people, grown comfortable in their own assumptions of comfort and continuity, is that the NEW and necessary enemy of this war is not found in some distant corner of the globe, where people of color have long suffered the agony of the West’s aggressive military actions. No, in what should come as no surprise to those who understand the voracious nature of predatory capitalism, the new enemy and targeted population is every one of us… the endangered human race, along with our families and our neighbors… everyday people who up until very recently lived with the hope that good fortune might one day shine down on them. Such a happy fate may still be possible for some, but the odds of it happening for most of the world grows day-by-day dramatically more illusory.
Assessing the current situation through these newly enhanced technocratic lenses, business invariably sees less and less need for physical workers. Instead, what it requires are more advanced robotics and computing, expanding land and satellite-based 5G/6G networks, as well as radical nano-bio-sensor technologies operating semi-autonomously (and essentially invisibly) from deep inside our own colonized bodies.
All this, taken together, forces us into a profound redefinition of what it means to be human, which in the techno-centric context inevitably comes down to a transfer of economic focus and social status away from humans as HUMANS (in their historical and aspirational form) and over to humans as MACHINES, in their compliant and easily upgradeable form. And by that logic, if millions or even billions of people were to die in that transitional process, then so be it. Progress and growth must be served.
This paradigm-shifting scientism movement that was long referred to as EUGENICS has been more recently rebranded as TRANSHUMANISM, and for those with sufficient wealth, it offers the promise of new comforts and capacities as well as the possibility of extended lifespans.
For those of modest means though, it will more likely bring about high-tech forms of neo-feudal serfdom, under the pervasive smokescreens of “public safety,” “climate change,” and “sustainable development” - at least sustainable for the ruling elites, if not for anyone else.
Those unable to call upon in-demand skills to stay gainfully a step ahead of the robots, will become dependent upon the largesse of the COMMUNITARIAN state, in the name of all that MUST be done for the COMMON GOOD.
This part of the agenda is happening at breakneck speed right now, in the wake of Covid lockdowns, MASSIVE unemployment and pending economic collapse. For those in the “old” workforce, rendered insolvent and unemployable, they will soon be forced to pay dearly at the cost of their autonomy and freedoms. Life decisions, which they had long made for themselves, will increasingly be made for them, in a new “like-it or lump-it” socialist-type socio-economic contract. Such unceasing demands will be pushed, as always, under cover of safety and security, just as they were through the “forced” call for “voluntary” vaccinations, where any modest advantage the working class still possessed, was sadly relinquished, along with the hope of long-term health.
These changes will follow from a ubiquitously replicated media “POS” narrative of how scientific and technological augmentations of our biological and psychological selves will put humans increasingly under the “benevolent” control of artificial intelligence and machine-learning algorithms. To paraphrase the World Economic Forum, we will “own nothing and be happy.” In other words, they are saying we will CEASE to dream of independence, autonomy and self-sufficiency… and we WILL instead aspire to our integration into the collective - whether we like it or not.)
Neither will the plethora of restrictions we have been forced to abide by during new lockdowns and restrictions, abate any time soon.
What we will rather soon come to see is that the underpinnings of our dreams of independence are everywhere melting in the heat of the realization that there will be no going back to any earlier more idyllic time, but only forward to the next major technological inflection point, in which more and more of our history will be revised, obscured or altogether disappeared.
We don’t know yet what lies ahead, but such an abundance of not knowing can easily fill us with sufficient dread to exact a harsh mental and physical toll on even the most resilient among us. Surely every one of us must know someone, close to them, who has suffered devastating psychological and physical effects in these extended and ongoing periods of “lockdown.”
And now that a curtain has been drawn on the widespread negative side-effects of the mRNA injections, we may never come to know the truth that is being kept from us, or the level of apocalyptic disaster that awaits us.
Our defense against such eventualities cannot be simply a matter of our staking out an ANTI-technology position. It’s too late to get off that easy. Technology, at this point, is far too deeply woven into the fabric of society and into our daily lives, altering every equation for how we work, learn, and communicate.
We are not unlike people suffering from profound drug addiction, who as much as we might want to kick our “digital” habit, simply cannot do so, as it requires too much change and individual willpower in the midst of constant and alternating “waves” of external assaults that shake the ground beneath our feet.
Networked technology and pervasive cloud-connected digital media is the infinitely scalable Colosseum into which we are now all being herded. Resisting that rush, by way of going back to some more remedial analog stage of technology and primordial existence will require us to individually choose to physically ESCAPE and BOLDLY survive more of our lives and mindshare outside the electrical CONTROL GRID entirely. No easy thing to do.
“There are no stops on this train; you just have to throw yourself off.” - William F. Burroughs (b.1914)
While we might like to comfort ourselves with the thought that it IS possible for technology to be anti-fascist, anti-surveillance and anti-cruelty, the effort required to keep so many interlocking parts of our vast infrastructure in check and accountable to REAL people, rather than to powerful AI programs, that are now so central to our economy, is largely beyond us. While we might wish it were otherwise, there are few signs that such a countervailing commitment (or even an awareness of the NEED for that) can prevent the technocrats' consensus armies of TECHNO-LIBERAL CYBORGS from storming the walls of our ancestral and sovereign selves and laying siege to the human spirit, whenever they are instructed to do so.
While we may assume it is those at the top of the pyramid, who are orchestrating this war on the human spirit, in practice, it will be our own neighbors and friends who once indoctrinated, will serve as the foot soldiers of this apocalyptic reformation.
If we are to ever raise the levels of our perception and determination to meet the many unanticipated demands that follow from a world calibrated for ruthless power, centralized control, rabid profit and progress, we will have to do MUCH better at recognizing and defending our own personal boundaries, resisting incursions on our freedoms, standing strong, holding our families and communities together, remaining informed, clear-headed, self-sufficient and rooted in SPIRIT... so that at least some percentage of us might have a decent shot at standing our ground, as we fight like hell to STAY HUMAN.
