By Niall McCrae:
Scientific dictatorship was planned a long time ago, but few of us were aware. In an office high in a Manhattan tower, magnate David Rockefeller and scholar Zbigniew Brzezinski began work on the New World Order. Brzezinski’s book Between the Ages: America’s Role in the Technetronic Era (1970) idealised the emergence of a fully controlled society: –
‘Such a society would be dominated by an elite whose claim to political power would rest on allegedly superior scientific know-how. Unhindered by the restraints of traditional liberal values, this elite would not hesitate to achieve its political ends by using the latest modern techniques for influencing public behavior and keeping society under close surveillance and control. Under such circumstances, the scientific and technological momentum of the country would not be reversed but would actually feed on the situation it exploits.’
According to Brzezinski, ‘national sovereignty is no longer a viable concept’. At the time, it was becoming apparent that multinational companies held more power than most governments, particularly oil barons and bankers. The book inspired Rockefeller, industrialist and head of Chase Manhattan Bank, who regarded democracy and political debate as obstacles to a rational system of global government.
A new organisation to pursue the globalist cause was mooted at the Bilderberg Group’s meeting in 1972, and in the following year Rockefeller and Brzezinski co-founded the Trilateral Commission. An article in Foreign Affairs in 1974 by Trilateral Commission member Richard Gardner described the ‘hard road to world order’. The strategy would ensue not by sudden shock but by stealth: a frog would immediately jump out of hot water, but would not react to slowly boiling water until too late. Between periods of quietly working behind the scenes, globalists would thrive on episodes of crisis, exploiting a ‘booming, buzzing confusion’.
Jimmy Carter, an unremarkable peanut farmer, was groomed by the Trilateral Commission as US president, and from then onwards most occupants of the White House have been members (excepting Donald Trump, of course). Reputedly, whenever Carter faced a foreign policy dilemma, he asked ‘has Brzezinski seen this?’ Public awareness of this shadowy but highly influential organisation was minimal but for the investigative work of Anthony Sutton and Patrick M Wood, who produced the two-volume Trilaterals over Washington (1979 and 1981).
The Trilateral Commission envisaged total control of population and resources. Energy would be the currency. Cash, private ownership, elections, free speech and protests would be abolished, enabling a masterclass of experts to reign. This was not original thinking, but the agenda of Technocracy Incorporated, a popular movement in North America in the 1930s (its leaders urged JD Rockefeller to become a dictator). Both organisations arose from the elitist Columbia University, also the seat of cultural Marxist Herbert Marcuse.
Technocracy is the replacement of elected government by social engineering. Its revival in the 1970s was facilitated by the tremendous potential of computer technology. As a command-and-control system, technocracy is easily confused with communism, and with capitalism for promoting giant corporations. But it eschews political ideology and a free market.
An important objective was control of the media. Heads of national television networks and prestigious newspapers such as the Washington Post and New York Times were invited to join the Trilateral Commission, on condition that proceedings remained private. This ethically dubious practice has led to corruption of the supposedly liberal media, as observed recently by Glenn Greenwald: most mainstream journalists have a self-serving worldview in tune with the controlling instincts of the globalists; they do not want freedom of information.
Fast forward to 2021, and Joe Biden, a puppet leader like Carter, asserted that ‘science is going to rule’. The Covid-19 pandemic gave the technocrats the opportunity to radically transform society, with experts in charge. The idea of ‘the science’ is emphasised, which is really a pseudo-scientific hegemony, using narrative to stifle debate and counterfact. This is scientism, which is not the pursuit of truth but a cult.
The United Nations’ Agenda 30, which masks technocracy with the less contentious term ‘sustainable development’, is being achieved well before the target year. Whereas with climate change alarm people do not see dead bodies, Covid-19 has been dramatically effective in changing attitudes and behaviour, driven by fearsome propaganda and a punitive regime. The ‘Build Back Better’ slogan used by governments around the world will ensure that the virus is fully exploited to impose technological controls including vaccine passports, enhanced surveillance systems and a cashless society.
The ‘New Normal’ is effectively putting the principles of technocracy into practice. China, under its notionally communist regime, is at a more advanced stage. In the West, the network of ‘Smart Cities’ will redesign urban life, suppressing freedom of speech and assembly, while obliterating privacy.
For any totalitarian system, language is crucial. Sloganeering is used for moral manipulation to maintain support of the educated classes (akin to Lenin’s ‘useful idiots’). The virtues of equality and social justice are used to spur identity politics and grievances, for the real purpose of divide and rule. Safety is a licence to control every aspect of our lives, as in the proliferation of security cameras and internet censorship. Devolution is not to improve democracy but to dismantle nation states. Empowerment of women and girls is a ruse for population control (the Rockefellers were prominent eugenicists). Eradication of poverty and disease is a backdoor to euthanasia.
At the age of 87, Rockefeller wrote in his memoirs about a belief that he was ‘part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterising my family and me as internationalists and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure – One World – if you will’. Instead of condemning this as conspiracy theory, Rockefeller boasted: –
‘If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it’.
Anyone asking why there is no effective opposition to the Covid regime in Britain needs to know that Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer is one of the chosen few. Trilateral Commission members won’t let a good crisis go to waste. Starmer is a technocrat par excellence. Technocracy will reduce the vast majority of people to the status of ants. Written in 1932, Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World was a vision of our technocratic future. Whereas in Huxley’s dystopia power was exerted through pleasure, George Orwell’s Big Brother in Nineteen Eighty-Four used pain. But the purpose was the same: enslavement to a scientific dictatorship, with control beyond the dreams of Hitler, Stalin or Mao. Will we wake up too late?
