BOOM! My new novel, THE GRID LAID OVER THE WORLD has been released! To learn more, click here.
April 6, 2020 [America in ‘lockdown’: Day 25.]
When this highly destructive farce is over, there are several ways things could go. In this article, I describe one path.
The
World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Bank (WB) are joined at
the hip. In 2018, they double-knotted their ties by forming a
partnership to monitor outbreaks and epidemics before they spread.
Basically,
behind the scenes, the deal looks like this: WHO creates the illusion
of global epidemics; WB steps in later, to pick up the pieces of the
result---injured national economies--- by shelling out loans to
governments.
These
loans always carry conditions. The prime condition is: let in private,
roaming, foreign, predatory, private investors so they can take over
vital sectors of a nation: energy, agriculture, water, etc.
But this time, WHO, as planned, has gone ballistic. The lockdowns are shredding economies. It’s not going to be “here’s a loan.”
It’s more on the order of: we have to bail out everybody.
How is that done?
Step by step, through switching over one kind of illusory money for another kind of illusory money.
“We
invented one kind of money out of thin air, and it reached the end of
the line. Now we have to invent another kind of all new money out of
thin air.”
Universal guaranteed income (UGI). Eventually, for everyone.
It, too, comes with conditions, gradually implemented. Basically, the deal is: “we pay you, and you obey us.”
The behavioral side of the model is the Chinese regime, which works obedience through a “social credit score.”
Infractions
lower the score. In which case, the violator can’t travel on a plane or
send his kids to certain schools or stay in certain hotels or start a
business. There are levels of punishments.
Infractions
include walking a dog off a leash, spreading fake news, crossing
against a red light, failure to separate garbage properly, business
fraud---little and big offenses.
Under
a global UGI, it would be: “Here’s your monthly digital check, now
follow orders, or your money might be reduced. Be a good citizen.”
Of course, a system like this requires complete and utter surveillance, public and private, every which way.
The
holy grail is energy quotas for every person. “Mr. Smith, this is your
wall talking through the glorious Internet of Things. Your energy number
for the month is reaching its limit. I want to help you avoid that
limit and the social credit score penalties that would be enforced. I’m
going to initiate brown-outs and dimming in your home for the next two
weeks. Your Internet will be shut down---excepting the hours of midnight
to three in the morning. Cook all your meals for the day between four
and five am...”
Behavior
control. What’s going on now is a tune-up for the future. Now they say:
stay indoors, don’t let in visitors. Stand in line outside stores,
keeping a distance of six feet. Report people who appear sick. Get
tested. Wash your hands a dozen times a day. In the future, the list of
rules and regs will be different, but the overall theme will be the
same: be a good citizen and contribute to a better world. Be sincere and
earnest and helpful. Don’t rebel.
And
just like now, many, many people will respond: “Yes, thank you. I like
the straight and narrow. I like the feeling of contributing to something
larger than myself. I like the collective. I like the fact that we’re
all in this together.”
A
sub-population of these people will want to do more. They’ll want to
join the government. They’ll want to help the government enforce the
rules. They’ll want to “express their energy.” They would, if asked,
gladly march in columns down streets, salute, hand out summons, make
arrests, and even commit violent acts under orders.
They would wear crisp uniforms, and take oaths. They would want ranks and seals. They would like to be called ELITE.
Because
history means nothing to such people, they’ll never know names like SS,
Red Guards, or Stasi. But that’s what they’ll be.
Unless
the whole plan for a technocratic Brave New World is exposed and falls
apart, because enough people remember another name and know what it
means:
FREEDOM.
When
this fake pandemic crisis is declared “done,” several themes will
emerge. They will be promoted in various ways, employing many
messages. I’m talking about official government and media propaganda.
First
of all, the “pandemic” will be described as major turning point in
human history. A great shock to the system. All sorts of professional
shills and bullshitters will talk about BP and AP. BEFORE THE PANDEMIC
and AFTER THE PANDEMIC.
We will be told, “We can’t go back to the way it was before.”
The
first great propaganda theme will be: HELP US BUILD A BETTER
WORLD. This message is for the sincere people who want to pitch in and
do good, in a collective sense. “Let’s build a better world where we can
avoid these pandemics, or see them earlier. Let’s form a civilization
where equality and justice for all is the top priority. Let’s all share
and care…” If you’re looking for logic, forget it. In whatever way they
can, the propagandists will imply that somehow the pandemic was a signal
that we must “do better.” We must “get through it together” as we did
during the crisis. The love we showed then must be the love we show
now. An appeal to idealists everywhere who fall for vague generalities
like cats fall for catnip.
The
second great theme, aimed at the educated class and the technical types
and the scientists and “thinkers,” will be: ORGANIZATION. “We must
organize world civilization more effectively.” Because somehow, that was
the problem Before the Pandemic. Lack of organization allowed things to
get out of hand. We can’t any longer be separate groups and nations
going their separate ways. Too much disorder. We need better structures
in every phase of life. We need more interconnection and
coordination. The educated class loves this stuff. It fits their image
of success. If society operates like a machine, problems will be solved.
The
third great propaganda theme is aimed at all sorts of people who
emerged from their lockdown and self-isolation, took a walk in a park on
a spring day, and suddenly remembered what they had been missing. Their
relief nearly reaches a point of hysteria, as at the end of a World
War. The theme is: NEVER AGAIN. “We don’t want to go back to those dark
days under any circumstances, and whatever it takes, we’re on
board. Tell us what to do.”
With
these themes in hand, the technocracy can be enacted. We’re all for
building a better world. We must organize it with t’s crossed and i’s
dotted. And we must never go back into the dark.
Unless people remember what is left out. THE INDIVIDUAL. And FREEDOM.
Technocratic
operators are counting on us to forget. They’re counting on many people
who value freedom to say, “Well, it’s all hopeless. I know what freedom
is, but too many others don’t. So why bother. I’ll just surrender and
float on the tide.”
Floating is an illusion. The tide moves in a planned direction. Toward a shore that isn’t pretty.
Are things pretty now?
That’s called a clue.
