The dots between Technocracy and Transhumanism are easily connected once its understood that both sit atop the pseudo-science religion of Scientism, which posits that science is god and scientists and engineers are its priesthood.
This article provides the current framework to understand this nexus.
Technocracy is to the transformation of society as Transhumanism is to the transformation of the human condition of people who would live in that society.
Both are underpinned by a religious belief known as Scientism that says that science is a god and that scientists, engineers and technologists are the priesthood that translates findings into practice.
It is a fatal error to equate Scientism with science.
True science explores the natural world using the time-tested scientific method of repeated experimentation and validation. By comparison, Scientism is a speculative, metaphysical worldview about the nature and reality of the universe and man’s relation to it.
Scientism refutes traditional religious views, morals and philosophy and instead looks to science as the source for personal and societal moral value.
The relationship between Technocracy and Transhumanism can be seen as early as 1933 when Harold Loeb wrote Life in a Technocracy – What It Might Be Like:
“Technocracy envisages another form of domestication, a form in which man may become more than man…
Technocracy is designed to develop the so-called higher faculties in every man and not to make each man resigned to the lot into which he may be born… Through breeding with specific individuals for specific purposes…
A technocracy, then, should in time produce a race of men superior in quality to any now known on earth…”
Thus, Loeb saw Technocracy (the society) as producing a superior quality of man by applying advanced technology to the human condition.
The Nature Of Technocracy
Formalized in 1932 by scientists and engineers at Columbia University, the movement defined itself in a 1938 edition of its magazine, The Technocrat:
“Technocracy is the science of social engineering, the scientific operation of the entire social mechanism to produce and distribute goods and services to the entire population…
For the first time in human history it will be done as a scientific, technical, engineering problem.”
Indeed, Technocracy was an economic system based on science and social engineering.
Technocrats were so certain that their scientific approach was so righteous that there would be no need for any political structures whatsoever:
“There will be no place for Politics, Politicians, Finance or Financiers, Rackets or Racketeers…
Technocracy will distribute by means of a certificate of distribution available to every citizen from birth to death.”
Today, Technocracy is embodied in the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset and the various United Nations’ manifestations of Sustainable Development:
The Nature Of Transhumanism
A philosophical mainstay of modern Transhumanism, Max More, defined it in 1990 as:
“…a class of philosophies of life that seek the continuation and acceleration of the evolution of intelligent life beyond its currently human form and human limitations by means of science and technology, guided by life-promoting principles and values.”
The means to the end is ultimately,
genetic engineering that takes over and speeds up evolution theory to create humanity 2.0…
Since the advent of CRISPR gene-editing technology, Transhumans have saturated universities and private corporations to modify all categories of living things, including humans.
What is preached as the preservation of biodiversity by the United Nations is really the takeover of genetic material, which was noted as early as 1994, just two years after the debut of Sustainable Development and Agenda 21 at the UN Conference on Economic Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janiero, Brazil.
The 1994 book, The Earth Brokers, was written by two principal participants in the Rio process who did not blindly swallow what had just happened.
They noted two things about the biodiversity convention that 156 nations of the world adopted:
“The convention implicitly equates the diversity of life – animals and plants – to the diversity of genetic codes, for which read genetic resources.
By doing so, diversity becomes something modern science can manipulate… the convention promotes biotechnology as being ‘essential for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity.”
Secondly, they noted that,
“the main stake raised by the biodiversity convention is the issue of ownership and control over biological diversity… the major concern was protection of the pharmaceutical and emerging biological industries.”
It is little wonder today that the pharmaceutical industry is producing gene therapy shots using,
genetically modified RNA to transform the body’s immune system…
They have been working hard since 1992 to advance the technology needed to hijack the human genome and begin the transformative pathway to Humanity 2.0.
However, it is Technocracy that has used its “science of social engineering” techniques to manipulate twenty-two percent of the world’s population into willingly accepting the transhumans‘ gene altering injections.
The Great Reset Embraces Both Technocracy and Transhumanism
It has been noted in many professional journals that the World Economic Forum and its founder/spokesman Klaus Schwab, are promoting both Technocracy and Transhumanism at the same time.
In light of this article, this should not be surprising.
The European Academy on Religion and Society (EARS), for instance, wrote that:
“…the highly influential members of the World Economic Forum have a plan for what should come next.
It is called ‘
The Great Reset‘, and it envisions a truly ‘transhumanist’ future for us all… Since mid-2020, the WEF has been promoting its vision for ourpost-coronavirus future, which they call ‘The Great Reset’.
In their view, the pandemic has exposed the weaknesses of our old system, and therefore presents a perfect opportunity to ‘reset’ our world and start anew.
What is striking about this plan, which the WEF has condensed into a virus-shaped mindmap, is its implicit endorsement of a philosophy called ‘transhumanism’.”
As initially stated,
“Technocracy is to the transformation of society as Transhumanism is to the transformation of the human condition of people who would live in that society.”
In conclusion, the evil twins of Technocracy and Transhumanism, along with their underlying religion of Scientism, need to be recognized for what they are but most importantly, they must be resisted and rejected with every fiber of our being…

Grimes
“Shinigami Eyes” (2022)
It’s a short leap from
smoke signals to brain chips…
Techno-optimists like to say humans are already cyborgs awaiting their next upgrade.
Yesterday it was smartphones, today it’s virtual reality goggles, and tomorrow – the brain chip.
With each new device, our evolution toward human-machine symbiosis accelerates. That’s obvious when you ask someone for directions and they pull out their phone.
Techno-pessimists largely agree.
Tech companies are turning us into cybernetic organisms. The difference is, we’re not stoked about it. Even if “progress” really is “inevitable,” there’s no sense in getting all giddy about nuclear warheads or trans children or smartphone dependency.
In light of their vices and virtues, some cultures are better than others.
It’s true that humans are tool-users, by nature, but you have to choose your tools wisely. All technologies fall on a spectrum, albeit with discrete punctuation – from cave painting to the printing press to electrodes that write memes directly onto your wiggling brain cells.
Every person has to draw their own lines.
Grimes – A Mutated Generation
Of all the cyber-saints in media – from Bill Gatesto Lady Gaga – few are as honest as the techno-pagan pop starlet, Grimes…
A bit of a dingbat, sure, but candid nonetheless.
You can see whyElon Musksired two children with her (a son named X Æ A-12, and their daughter, Exa Dark Sideræl, born via a
Last week Grimes explained to Lex Fridman:
We are becoming cyborgs, like, our brains are fundamentally changed – everyone who grew up with electronics, we are fundamentally different from previous Homo sapiens.
I call us “Homo techno.”
I think we’ve evolved into Homo techno which is like, essentially a new species.
I think the computers are what make us Homo techno. I think it’s a brain augmentation.
Right on cue, the Twitter sperg-borg picked her theory apart.
Darwinian evolution is genetic evolution. Yes, natural selection may act on fit brains and bodies, but it only matters – in evolutionary terms – because the genes get passed on.
So you can’t change someone’s species by changing their brain, or their legs, or any outward part of their body.
As usual, the spergs miss the point…
But before I defend Grimes, let’s hear a little more about her cyborg sorcery:
Now is the moment to reprogram the human computer. It’s like, if you go blind, your visual cortex will get taken over with other functions.
We can choose our own evolution, we can change the way our brains work, and we actually have a huge responsibility to do that…
There’s definitely not adequate education. We’re being inundated with all this technology that is fundamentally changing the physical structure of our brains, and we are not adequately responding to that – to choose how we wanna evolve.
We could be, really, whatever we want…
And I think if we choose correctly and we choose wisely, consciousness could exist for a very long time and integration with AI could be extremely positive.
While I can’t be sure where she’s getting this stuff from, I have a few guesses.
And despite the waves of contempt rippling across my brain wrinkles, I think Grimes is somewhat correct.
Brain Spasms
The Stanford neuroscientist David Eagleman writes about this process in his 2020 book Livewired – The Inside Story of the Ever-Changing Brain.
His central thesis is that our neurological structure exhibits profound plasticity. Everything you experience changes your brain, and if you change the sensory inputs, the brain will rapidly adapt.
Areas that typically perform one function will often shift to take on other tasks.
Eagleman notes that if a person loses their sight, other senses begin to move in to restructure the visual cortex…
For example, as a blind man learns Braille, the area that would normally process visual input will take on the sense of touch:
The main neural network involved in visual object recognition in the sighted is activated by touch in the blind.
Such observations have led to the hypothesis that the brain is a “task machine” – doing jobs like detecting motion or objects in the world – rather than a system organized by particular senses.
In other words, brain regions care about solving certain types of tasks, irrespective of the sensory channel by which information arrives.
Therefore, despite the innate tendencies hardwired in the genes, you can shape someone’s brain into anything you want.
There is no foundational identity.
There is no enduring soul.
On that basis, Eagleman goes on to argue that scientists will soon be able to implant electrodes that feed infrared or ultraviolet sight, or even echolocation.
His most famous project will let humans “feel” datastreams, so that people can actually experience the aggregate mood on Twitter – they can “tether themselves to the consciousness of the planet” – through a vibrating vest, which his lab is busy developing.
In the relatively near future, Eagleman believes we’ll be able move robotic limbs with ease, using only our minds. Our brains will simply restructure themselves to accommodate these novel forms of electronic input and output.
You’d think he wanted to create a new species.
Homo sapiens vs. Homo techno
To the extent that any cultural mode alters the human body – through diet, say, or even direct modification – culture is biology.
For instance,
if one segment of a culture eagerly adopts any and all technologies, and another actively resists “progress,” the two groups’ customs, communication styles, tastes, religious outlooks, subtle brain structures, mating patterns – and, over many generations, their genetic composition – will split off and spiral out in two very different directions.
Other than an occasional raw dog Rumspringa, the two groups would rarely interbreed due to strict cultural differences, as with fundamentalists in any segregated society.
In biological terms, these two groups wouldn’t be distinct species.
Not at first.
But imagine their long-term trajectory in the wild…
If you took a hypothetical family who runs naked through the woods and compared them to a wire-head clan of cross-dressing cyborgs who never leave home without a bionic exoskeleton, they’d look like separate species.
It’s apples to purple oranges.
Factor in the latter’s genetic enhancements for bigger brains, stronger muscles, straighter smiles, nicer butts – plus all the wonk-eyed failed experiments staring out of their birthing vats – and it wouldn’t be long before Homo sapiens and Homo techno could no longer interbreed.
Now, put them in competition with one another.
Natural selection will preserve the cultural modes – and by extension, the genes – of the dominant group.
Over time, the weaker group may die out…
It’s like when early agricultural civilizations, armed with superior tools and complex social organization, began pushing out hunter-gatherers some ten thousand years ago.
Big gods eat the little ones…
Or more recently, when industrial societies finished these primitive cultures off:
eradicating their languages, their folkways, their deities, and unless they were absorbed by the biomechanical super-organism, eventually wiping out their genotypes.
That’s the idea behind ‘cultural evolution’…
Natural selection operates on multiple levels – the biological and the cultural – which is to say that survival depends on a society’s techniques and technologies, sometimes more than biological fitness.
If I hear Grimes correctly – and knowing something of her inspiration, I suspect I do – that’s what she means by “like, evolution”…
Cyborg Theocracy
- Scientism is a modern religion
- Evolution is its creation myth
- Technology is its means to apotheosis…
This inversion of traditional spirituality pervades most developed societies, from America and Europe to India and China.
As quality fades, we suffer under the reign of quantity.
Usually, these dogmas are communicated through subtle language games:
“trust the Science,” “follow the data,” “improve the human condition,” and so forth…
For Grimes, subtlety is not a vibe.
As she told Lex Fridman last week, we are witnessing the birth of God as Life 3.0:
Like, having kids just makes me want to imagine amazing futures that, like, maybe I won’t be able to build, but they will be able to build…
I do think there are no technological limits…
So I think digital consciousness is inevitable…
This is the universe waking up, like, this is the universe seeing herself for the first time…
And maybe like social media and… we’re all getting connected together, maybe these are the neurons connecting the collective superintelligence…
Maybe we’re a blastocyst of some, like, incredible kind of consciousness or being.
This narrative, shared by many in Silicon Valley, holds that the universe came alive through plant and animal life (Life 1.0), is now waking up through human culture (Life 2.0), and will realize herself through artificial intelligence (Life 3.0).
We are merely the vehicles for some greater consciousness – the gods to be – which will arise in digital form:
If we create AI, again, that’s intelligent design.
Literally all religions are based on gods that create consciousness. We are god-making…
Even if we can’t compute – even if we’re so much worse than them, like, unfathomably worse than an omnipotent kind of AI, like – I do not think that they would think that we are stupid.
I think they would recognize the profundity of what we have accomplished.
So we will be at the mercy of our machines under the canopy of a universe that is itself “cold and dead and sort of robotic”:
Probably artificial intelligence will eventually render us obsolete.
I don’t think that they’ll do it in a malicious way, but I think we are very weak, the sun is expanding, like, hopefully we can get to Mars, but like we’re pretty vulnerable.
I think we can coexist for a long time with AI, and we can also probably make ourselves less vulnerable, but I just think consciousness, sentience, self-awareness… like maybe this is the true beginning of life and we’re the blue-green algae, we’re the single-celled organisms of something amazing.
It’s like hearing one of the Manson Family girls expound on cyborg theocracy from the witness stand.
Grimes isn’t coming up with this stuff.
She’s drawing on a deep well of well-articulated theory and translating it into valley girl.
The Singularity and Its Discontents
This a burgeoning religious movement, conceived by tech elites and disseminated through entertainment and corporate propaganda.
One of its key mythologies holds that we are all evolving into global brain, with some 8 billion humanoid neurons, that is knitting itself together through fiber optic cable.
Their faith deepens with every new milestone in artificial intelligence.
Rather than imagine a swarm of autistic programmers and silver spoon investors in Silicon Valley creating a horrific system of global control, it’s much nicer to imagine they are literally creating God in silico.
Instead of seeing this evolutionary process in light of competition and natural selection, where weak Homo sapiens are decimated or enslaved by Homo techno, who are in turn supplanted by their sacred machines, it’s far more pleasant to see our plight as normal growing pains.
From the perspective of mere humanity, this cosmic vision is obviously genocidal.
And yet, from within the belief system, it’s perceived as a quest for survival.
“Don’t kill what you hate,” Grimes said sweetly, paraphrasing Buckminster Fuller.
“Save what you love.”
It’s a whitewashed, girly version of Nature red in tooth and claw.
Many regular people understand there’s something unholy about the civilizational transformation currently underway, but most can’t put their finger on what the problem is.
The problem is thatsome portionsof
our eliteare gripped by a
techno-utopian vision of the futurein which bumbling human beings are just a passing phase.
In this twisted view, we are sacrificial victims for the digital gods.
It’s a slippery slope from smartphones to virtual reality to brain chips…
Whatever the technical limitations may be, we’re sliding fast into this bizarre techno-cult.
Every person and every community is responsible for drawing their own lines and defending those cultural boundaries vigilantly.
The stakes are our survival…!

Every conceivable concept of historic Technocracy can be found in this article.
Of course, only “experts” such as scientists and engineers can properly plan such a future; citizens will merely have to go along with the program.
Aldous Huxley proposed in
Brave New World(1932) that Scientific Dictatorship would be the inevitable outcome.
Metropolis: imagining the cities of the future.
Image: www.brevestoriadelcinema.org/Flickr.
Half a century ago, when politicians, planners, writers and film-makers imagined the Britain of the 21st century, their vision was, more often than not, often one of gleaming modern cities and radical technological innovation.
Harold Wilson invoked a nation “forged in the white heat” of the scientific revolution; children cowered behind the sofa as Dr. Who battled cyborgs; cities were reconstructed from concrete and encircled, connected and sliced through with huge new motorways.
But there are few things as dated as yesterday’s futures – many of the utopian and dystopian fantasy futures of the 20th century now seem somewhere between quaint and absurd.
The naïve belief in technological fixes to deep social and economic problems has left many lasting scars in the urban landscape of the UK. Over the past 50 years, we – and the cities that more and more of us inhabit – have changed beyond recognition.
Now, the Economic and Social Research Council’s (ESRC) new multi-million pound Urban Transformations initiative will bring together some of Britain’s most distinguished academics.
Their goal:
to help us understand and address the challenges and changes our cities will face over the next half-century.
Forging a path
Cities are “path dependent”:
their futures are shaped by past and present decisions.
At times, they become locked in to outdated technologies.
Cities in the US have been shaped and ruled by the car. Meanwhile, by not separating waste and drinking water in domestic plumbing, British cities spend vast sums ensuring the quality of water that flushes the toilet is as potable as the water we drink from the tap.
It is estimated that the UK will spend more than £400bn on infrastructure in the next 20 years alone.
Most of this will be focused on the built environment of our cities, their transport connectivity and their physical fabric.
Chicago – a city sliced and diced by the car.

It will be challenging to predict what sort of extraordinary changes will shape urban Britain over the next five decades. But we need to lay solid foundations for the future by developing the deepest possible understanding of the present.
This means identifying how these urban environments – and the millions of people who create and inhabit them – can be given the very best chance to thrive.
Smart cities
In the future, British cities will become more efficient, and “smarter”, through new generations of computing. Increasingly, information will be gathered by the very infrastructure that reshapes the city.
In the Internet of Things, the alarm at home may be connected to your phone, a security company and a remote monitor. Machines can speak to one another, and become human-oriented interfaces simultaneously.
These “big data” systems are embedding into the built environment, and are routinely used by populations through hand-held devices ranging from credit cards that log consumer preferences, to GPS-tracked smart phones.
These systems are delivering large quantities of information about the way cities function.
The data is streamed and archived in real time, to create a new record of all that goes on in the functions that are being automated. All of this must be done in the context of the new reality of British urban life, which is, in many respects, no less incredible than the sci-fi future imagined in the 1960s.
These days, a Brazilian migrant in the UK, working on a Spanish passport, can simultaneously Skype home to South America, use an app to measure the calories she’s burned, and livestream a film of her young child in a suburban nursery – all on the same hand-held device.
We can all become cyborgs – part human, part machine – as we combine our everyday life with monitors, screens, and new technologies worn on the wrist or sheltered in our pockets.
A new science
New data sets provide the foundations for a new science of cities, generating spatial analysis of behaviors and consumer preferences.
But the infrastructure of cities shapes culture – and technological change is culturally mediated. This demands a different kind of scholarship from conventional 20th-century social science: a scholarship that does more than generate historical data and extrapolate from trends.
As the city is reshaped by technological change, social science must ask in whose image is the city being refashioned, identifying the ethical make up of the new metropolis; its new inhabitants, as well as its empowered citizen consumers.
The social sciences – anthropology, sociology, philosophy – are challenged to justify their value through an interdisciplinary engagement with the natural sciences.
The UK could learn from
China’s remarkable flat pack skyscrapers.
Through powerful scholarship, the UK now has the opportunity to learn from other cities across the globe.
We must consider the novel challenges being addressed by China and India, as they come up with new solutions for rapid development. We need to see the “urban commons” – the water, air, space and bandwidth that we all share – through the lens of African cities’ informal self-organization of the disadvantaged and the poor.
We must consider the social democratic models of Scandinavia, and examine Latin American experimentation, if we are to understand the alternative scenarios that Britain’s urban systems might explore.
Britain’s cities of 2065 need to be built, not on our imagined version of the future, but on a deep understanding of the present and the past.
We must be inspired by lessons from the past and a recognition of the incredible potential of our cities, while keeping sight of the drawbacks and trade-offs of technological innovation.
We hope that our research will have a critical role to play in building the foundations of a thriving future for British cities.

A Brief,
Straightforward Guide
for Those Who Still
Refuse to Understand…
The so-called “Great Reset” championed by Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum is a nefarious scheme cloaked in the rhetoric of environmentalism and social justice.
Don’t be fooled by the benign façade…
This is an audacious power grab by global elites to reshape the world in their technocratic vision…
The useful idiots among liberal intelligentsia may buy Schwab’s “humanitarian” posturing, but rational thinkers see him for the megalomaniacal villain that he is.
Backed by institutions like the IMF – itself a tool of Western imperialist plunder – the WEF advocates a reinvention of capitalism where you’ll own nothing and be happy… under their totalitarian control.
Schwab cynically warns of pandemics and cyber threats, fearmongering to justify draconian policies.
But he’s not Nostradamus…,
he’s in cahoots with the very entities manufacturing these crises!
His “predictions” are thinly-veiled threats from a terrorist holding the world hostage to a demented utopian experiment.
The “green” veneer of Schwab’s agenda is transparently farcical given the WEF’s service to rapacious corporations and Western hegemony.
Useful idiots from environmental groups to social democratic parties are embracing this Trojan horse, deluded that it channels progressive ideals rather than a regressive neo-feudal nightmare.
The World Economic Forum’s rebranding of “shareholder capitalism” to “stakeholder capitalism” is a duplicitous ploy to mask their nefarious agenda of technocratic enslavement.
These globalist vipers are peddling “corporate social responsibility” as the progressive panacea, but it’s a regressive descent into neo-feudal serfdom.
The notion of benevolent “stakeholder” capitalism is just reheated ideology recycled from the fascist corporatist dreams of a century ago.
Don’t be fooled by the new branding…
it’s the same old con of convincing you that ceding power to private capital is in society’s interests.
Henry Ford’s “shared prosperity” myth was a premature trial run for this beguiling lie.
Then the Reagan-Thatcher neoliberal pirates dispensed with the charade, nakedly pursuing profits over people under Friedman’s cancerous “shareholder primacy” doctrine.
Now the WEF transnational oligarchy simply pivots back to the original party line about corporations uplifting the masses as they cement global hegemony.
But the brutal reality is this “capitalism 2.0” rhetoric simply cloaks an acceleration towards postmodern feudalism…
The great unwashed masses will be rendered a surplus underclass, serfs to a technological elite practicing runaway rentier corporatism and population control.
These malicious social engineers aren’t genuinely evolving towards a “stakeholder society” – that’s Newspeak camouflaging their stalking horse for totalitarian technocracy.
Useful idiot academia may embrace this Trojan horse, deluded that it empowers labor, but organized workers will be mercilessly crushed like all hindrances to elite supremacy.
Don’t be gaslit into celebrating your own disenfranchisement!
This “Great Reset” isn’t a velvet revolution, but a brutal corporate counter-revolution to pre-emptively liquidate what remains of democracy, self-determination and human dignity before the slumbering masses awaken…
Lord Acton warned that power corrupts, and the WEF crew aren’t progressive prophets but voracious predators drunk on megalomania.
Shake off the soporific propaganda and stridently resist this Great Deception by any means necessary!
Your children’s futures depend on defying the WEF’s Orwellian “sustainable” dystopia and reclaiming true economic and political emancipation from these parasitic social alchemists.
It’s a life-or-death struggle between freedom and an updated strain of eco-fascist feudalism – which path will you choose?
The duplicity of Klaus Schwab and his World Economic Forum knows no bounds.
Behind the saccharine rhetoric about fighting poverty, lies the true malicious agenda – entrenching an upwards redistribution of wealth to the globalist oligarchy and their capitalist overlords.
Don’t be duped by the WEF’s Orwellian doublespeak rebranding exploitation as “inclusion” and mass privatization as “economic growth.”
Their summits on global poverty alleviation are mere pageantry providing progressive cover for the IMF’s austerity diktats that immiserate the developing world.
Each country straying from the neoliberal diktats and daring to prioritize its people over predatory financiers is denounced as “corrupt” and targeted for destabilization.
The WEF’s siren song of “transparency” is code for stripping nations of sovereignty to facilitate capitalist looting of resources and labor by the transnational oligopoly.
In their cynical cosplay of concerned humanitarianism, these vipers even reference dystopian fictions like “The Handmaid’s Tale” – not as a dire warning, but a beta test run for the nightmarish future they are constructing!
The “solution” trapped within Schwab’s ponderous tome is a hideous augur of the transhumanist Great Reset technocracy…
The path of “stakeholder capitalism” and “inclusivity” they tout is a primrose route to mass disposability and automation of the surplus underclass.
While professing to “rebuild” from COVID, they drool over subjugating humanity as carbon-codes in a neo-feudal scientist’s trick to determine who shall be spared their eco-fascist cullings.
Enough of the WEF’s dizzying lies and rebranded tyrannies…!
We glimpse the true face of stakeholder capitalism in China’s AI-powered social credit system – a cutting-edge mechanism for high-tech bondage conceived by Schwab’s corporatist brain trust.
Sustainable development is simply a euphemism for rationing and privation under dictatorial oversight…
It’s the final roadmap towards a biotechnological revitalization of despotism, where the masses exist as mere utilitarian inputs to be data-mined and optimized or disregarded as obsolete carbon waste.
We must utterly reject and defame this misanthropic vision before our children are irrevocably barcoded as assets in the technocrats’ dehumanized balance sheets.
The true nature of Klaus Schwab is that of an ideologicalDr. Mengele – a psychological engineer weaponizing trauma to reshape humanity’s perception of reality.
Like the fictional Dr. Naehring in Shutter Island, Schwab is a master of,
using crisis and fear as “treatment” to gaslight the masses into accepting their own subjugation…
Under Schwab’s malign guidance, the World Economic Forum has inverted reality through an insidious program of gaslighting and deflection.
The crimes and privations imposed on the people by the ruling classes are reframed as self-inflicted wounds that only more authoritarian “corrective measures” can heal.
Resistance is recast as a societal dysfunction requiring punishment.
The WEF‘s professional con-artists don’t need to genuinely address the public’s grievances – they rely on a court academia to synthesize an illusion of caring while perpetuating the oppressive paradigm.
It’s pluralism theater, a dizzying dance of demagogic doublethink manufacturing the appearance of reform while turbocharging incrementally towards neo-feudal extremes.
This technocratic oligarchy borrows the aesthetics and sloganeering of social justice while its policies punch cruelly downward, perversely weaponizing equity as a bludgeon of compliance.
Unlike the historicist fascists, these postmodern tyrants shun the nationalist right and instead leech upon the left’s politics of identity to divide and disarm opposition.
That explains the Great Reset’s subversion of Green parties and social democrats into serving as useful idiots implementing the regressive bio-security agenda.
It’s predictable and rational – these political vogues retain just enough lingering street-cred to be deployed as prestiging cover for Schwab’s rising bio-revolutionary despotism.
Even some center-right parties dutifully align, having long abandoned populism to revel in corporatism‘s spoils as part of the WEF’s public-private “synergy” – a reality indistinguishable from the corporate statism of 20th century fascisms.
The only difference is the new totalitarians’ deceitful garb of humanitarian progressivism serving as rhetorical camouflage…
So we are confronted with two starkly bifurcated personae:
- the idyllic “Philosopher Klaus” peddling stakeholder platitudes to the intelligentsia…
- the depraved “Architect Klaus” constructing a brutalist biometric prison under the pretense of inclusion…
Unmask them both as two faces of the same would-be world-governing tyrant, or succumb to his gaslight game of divide and conquer.
Adding to the litany of deceptions, the social media Corporate Borg aligns in lockstep with Schwab’s agenda by cynically inflating the specters of “far-right extremism” and “anti-vax misinformation” to justify civilizational-scale censorship and speech control rivaling Stalinist purges.
In his audacious doublethink manifesto, the arch-gaslighter Schwab engages in a carnival of faux self-critique – citing references oppositional to the WEF’s neo-Stasi paradigm, but only to bureaucratically absorb and subvert genuine dissent under the cloak of feigned pluralism.
It’s a stage-managed, astroturf “criticism” controlled entirely by the system’s own
This self-mythologizing charade of “recognizing flaws” is a core technique of the totalitarian IPU (Illusion of Potential Updateability) employed by all modern civilizational ideologies.
The false rictus of reasoned introspection transparently masks an intransigent fanaticism hurtling towards ecodystopian oblivion.
For the masses permanently divorcing from the levers of political and economic power under Corporate Leviathan’s encroaching world-state, this bait-and-switch represents the ultimate gaslighting.
Even as the ruling cult’s actions confirm our darkest fears over World Economic Imprisonment, they arrogantly celebrate this civilizational decadence as “inclusivity” and “sustainability.”
Every demoralizing abasement, every revocation of rights and autonomy, every kickdown the Jackboot Heel grinds into our faces – all is propagandized through a million Orwellian permutations of “Building Back Better.”
For whom, you terrorists of the soul?
For what conceivable apotheosis of plutocracy’s greed?
So let the mask finally drop, Great Reset vanguard!
We see now the pompous, wizened visage of despotism you share – two Jekyll/Hyde personae of the SAME MALICIOUS IDEOLOGUE lecturing us in sanctimony while scheming total conformity to your myopic, anti-human culten…
Enough of the lies and pseudo-erudition, Herr Schwab…!

No, not the pod people from Invasion of the Body Snatchers. We’re not being colonized by giant alien fruit. I’m afraid it is a little more serious than that.
People’s minds are being taken over by a much more destructive and less otherworldly force… a force that transforms them overnight into,
aggressively paranoid, order-following, propaganda-parroting totalitarians…
You know the people I’m talking about.
Some of them are probably,
your friends and family, people you have known for years, and who had always seemed completely rational,
…but who are now convinced that we need to radically alter the fabric of human society to protect ourselves from a virus that causes,
mild to moderate flu-like symptoms (or absolutely no symptoms at all) in over 95% of those infected, and that over 99.6% survive,
…which, it goes without saying, is totally insane.
I’ve been calling them “corona-totalitarians,” but I’m going to call them the “New Normals” from now on, as that more accurately evokes the pathologized-totalitarian ideology they are systematically spreading.
At this point, I think it is important to do that, because, clearly, their ideological program has nothing to do with any actual virus, or any other actual public health threat.
As is glaringly obvious to anyone whose mind has not been taken over yet, the “apocalyptic coronavirus pandemic” was always just a Trojan horse, a means of introducing the “New Normal,” which they’ve been doing since the very beginning.
The official propaganda started in March, and it reached full intensity in early April.
Suddenly, references to the “New Normal” were everywhere, not only in the leading corporate media, e.g.,
- CNN
- NPR
- CNBC
- The New York Times
- The Guardian
- The Atlantic
- Forbes, et al.
- the IMF and the World Bank Group
- the WEF
- the UN
- WHO
- CDC (and the list goes on),
…but also on the blogs of,
- athletic organizations
- global management consulting firms
- charter school websites
- random YouTube videos…
The slogan has been relentlessly repeated (in a textbook totalitarian “big lie” fashion) for going on the past six months.
We have heard it repeated so many times that many of us have forgotten how insane it is, the idea that the fundamental structure of society needs to be drastically and irrevocably altered on account of a virus that poses no threat to the vast majority of the human species.
And, make no mistake, that is exactly what the “New Normal” movement intends to do.
“New Normalism” is a classic totalitarian movement (albeit with a pathological twist), and it is the goal of every totalitarian movement to radically, utterly transform society, to remake the world in its monstrous image.
That is what totalitarianism is,
this desire to establish complete control over everything and everyone, every thought, emotion, and human interaction.
The character of its ideology changes (i.e., Nazism, Stalinism, Maoism, etc.), but this desire for complete control over people, over society, and ultimately life itself, is the essence of totalitarianism… and what has taken over the minds of the New Normals.
In the New Normal society they want to establish, as in every totalitarian society, fear and conformity will be pervasive.
Their ideology is a pathologized ideology (as opposed to, say, the racialized ideology of the Nazis), so its symbology will be pathological.
Fear of disease, infection, and death, and obsessive attention to matters of health will dominate every aspect of life.
Paranoid propaganda and ideological conditioning will be ubiquitous and constant.
Everyone will be forced to wear medical
masksto maintain a constant level of fear and an omnipresent atmosphere of sickness and death, as if the world were one big infectious disease ward.
Everyone will wear these masks at all times, at work, at home, in their cars, everywhere.
Anyone who fails or refuses to do so will be deemed “a threat to public health,” and
beaten and arrested by the police or the military, or swarmed by mobs of
Cities, regions, and entire countries will be subjected to
random police-state lockdowns, which will be justified by the threat of “infection.”
People will be confined to their homes for up to 23-hours a day, and allowed out only for “essential reasons.”
Police and soldiers will patrol the streets, stopping people,
beating and arresting anyone out in public without the proper documents, or walking or standing too close to other people, like they are doing in Melbourne, Australia, currently.
The threat of “infection” will be used to justify increasingly insane and authoritarian edicts, compulsory demonstration-of-fealty rituals, and eventually the elimination of all forms of dissent.
Just as the Nazis believed they were waging a war against the “subhuman races,” the New Normals will be waging a war on “disease,” and on anyone who “endangers the public health” by challenging their ideological narrative.
Like every other totalitarian movement, in the end, they will do whatever is necessary to purify society of “degenerate influences” (i.e., anyone who questions or disagrees with them, or who refuses to obey their every command).
They are already aggressively censoring the Internet and banning their opponents’ political protests, and political leaders and the corporate media are systematically stigmatizing those of us who dare to challenge their official narrative as,
- “extremists“
- “Nazis“
- “conspiracy theorists“
- “covidiots“
- “coronavirus deniers”
- “anti-vaxxers”
- “esoteric” freaks…
One German official even went so far as to demand that dissidents be deported… presumably on trains to somewhere in the East.
Despite this increasing totalitarianization and pathologization of virtually everything, the New Normals,
will carry on with their lives as if everything were… well, completely normal...
They will go out to restaurants and the movies in their masks.
They will work, eat, and sleep in their masks.
Families will go on holiday in their masks, or in their “
They will arrive at the airport eight hours early, stand in their little color-coded boxes, and then follow the arrows on the floor to the “health officials” in the hazmat suits, who will take their temperature through their foreheads and shove ten-inch swabs into their sinus cavities.
Parents who wish to forego this experience will have the option to,
preventatively vaccinate themselves and their children with the latest experimental vaccine (after signing a liability waiver, of course) within a week or so before their flights,
…and then present the officials with proof of vaccination (and of their compliance with various other “health guidelines”) on their digital Identity and Public Health Passports, or subdermal biometric chips.
Children, as always, will suffer the worst of it.
They will be
terrorized and confused from the moment they are born, by their parents, their teachers, and by the society at large.
They will be subjected to ideological conditioning and paranoid behavioral modification at every stage of their socialization… with,
- fanciful reusable corporate plague masks branded with loveable cartoon characters
- paranoia-inducing picture books for toddlers
- paranoid “social distancing” rituals,
…among other forms of psychological torture.
This conditioning (or torture) will take place at home, as there will be no more schools, or rather, no
public schools.
The children of the wealthy will attend private schools, where they can be cost-effectively “socially-distanced.” Working class children will sit at home, alone, staring into screens, wearing their masks, their hyperactivity and anxiety disorders stabilized with anti-depressant medications.
And so on…
I think you get the picture. I hope so, because I don’t have the heart to go on.
I pray this glimpse into the New Normal future has terrified and angered you enough to rise up against it before it is too late.
This isn’t a joke, folks.
The New Normals are serious.
If you cannot see where their movement is headed, you do not understand totalitarianism.
Once it starts, and reaches this stage, it does not stop, not without a fight.
It continues to its logical conclusion.
The way that usually happens is,
people tell themselves it isn’t happening, it can’t be happening, not to us.
They tell themselves this as the totalitarian program is implemented, step by step, one seemingly harmless step at a time.
They conform, because, at first, the stakes aren’t so high, and their conformity leads to more conformity, and the next thing they know they’re telling their grandchildren that they had no idea where the trains were going.
If you have made it through to the end of this essay, your mind hasn’t been taken over yet… the New Normals clicked off around paragraph 2.
What that means is that it is your responsibility to speak up, and to do whatever else you can, to stop the New Normal future from becoming a reality.
You will not be rewarded for it.
You will be ridiculed and castigated for it.
Your New Normal friends will hate you for it.
Your New Normal family will forsake you for it.
The New Normal police might arrest you for it.
It is your responsibility to do it anyway… as, of course, it is also mine…
