Relegated to mere conspiracy theory by legacy media and
vehemently denied by accused conspirators, the plan continues
unabated with only pockets of resistance - nowhere near enough to
bring the house of cards down.
It is both,
Under the guise of safety, convenience, and inclusion, humanity is being primed to accept complete and total surveillance as a condition of simple existence in a "brave new world."
That's the plan in a nutshell.
What follows are the gory details...
The purpose of this war is to modify human thought, belief, behavior, and identity.
According to a 2021 NATO report, cognitive warfare is defined as (emphasis added throughout):
A separate NATO report from 2022 adds that cognitive warfare is:
The U.S. Naval Institute has also recognized the need for a cognitive warfare strategy, stating:
Adding that technologies like machine learning and brain-computer interfaces (BCI) boost the efficiency of cognitive warfare, the Geneva Center for Security Policy (GCSP), a frequent NATO collaborator, further opined that:
To summarize what cognitive warfare entails, I offer the following definition:
Wait, what on earth is the noosphere?
Unfamiliar to most, the noosphere is a concept advanced largely by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, a 20th century Jesuit priest who fused together elements of biblical doctrine, evolution, and mysticism.
Teilhard conceived the noosphere as a realm where human minds interacted through increasingly complex social networks.
He theorized that the evolving noosphere would eventually reach an "Omega Point," where the total convergence of collective human consciousness would unify with the "Cosmic Christ."
These teachings were deemed heretical by the Catholic church and Teilhard was publicly denounced.
However, his posthumous writings have influenced scores of scientists, futurists, environmentalists, globalists, occultists, new agers, and ironically many Catholics.
One of Teilhard's most revealing statements undergirding his philosophy is found in his book Christianity and Evolution, where he wrote:
It is Teilhard's pantheistic views that endear him to the scientific and Big Tech communities. They took up the mantle of advancing the noosphere through technologies like the Internet and social media, hoping humanity would realize Teilhard's vision.
It is this writer's contention that the supreme goal of CW and the digital revolution is to turn Teilhard's Omega Point from theory into reality.
Creating a Collective Human Consciousness
NATO's 2021 report indicated that neuroscientific warfare techniques can be used to destabilize,
As a result, governments and militaries from many nations are working feverishly to combat the threat mind wars pose to citizens and nations.
Their alleged goals are to maintain trust in democratic values and processes while simultaneously implementing greater controls on the flow of information. Paradoxically, they are attempting to maintain (the illusion of) freedom, while authorizing new forms of digitized censorship "for the greater good."
What is really taking place is a game of bait and switch where citizens are told that due to the proliferation of misinformation, disinformation, hate speech, identity theft, deep fakes, and cyber-attacks, greater control is needed to police the digital public square.
Add in the so-called threat of climate change, financial collapse, war, the energy crisis, future pandemics, and you have what the United Nations (UN) and World Economic Forum (WEF) deem a "polycrisis."
Tools such as artificial intelligence (AI), Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), biometric surveillance, and digital ID, have emerged as the "solutions" to these problems.
Whether the evolving bio-digital surveillance paradigm is called the,
...what's common is the belief that bigger and better tech can transform society "for good" and combat issues of mistrust, corruption, crime, and planetary destruction.
However, realizing this utopian vision requires greater levels of transparency, control, conformity, and collective thought.
To successfully manipulate the public into either full acceptance or forced submission of this paradigm, the twin brothers of tyranny - surveillance and censorship - have been invoked.
Klaus Schwab, former Executive Chairman of the WEF, spoke about this new world where privacy is "severely restricted" in a 2013 interview, mentioning:
In a 2016 interview with Radio Television Suisse, Schwab elaborated further on transparency, stating,
It's easy to highlight statements from Schwab given his notoriety as a globalist boogeyman.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons for his recent withdrawal as the WEF's front man? Regardless, Schwab is just one of many who champion surveillance technologies to complete the transition to the new world order of total transparency.
In iHuman, a documentary on AI, data scientist and Stanford Professor Michal Kosinski echoes Schwab's convictions regarding the current state of privacy, declaring:
Once an imagined dystopia but now quickly becoming reality, omnipresent bio-digital surveillance creates an inescapable societal panopticon.
The "new world" Schwab refers to is being steered by the technocratic elite running all governments, corporations, NGOs, universities, medicine, and media.
Publicly, the surveillance society is sold as a way to bring order to a chaotic world splintered politically, racially, economically, socially, and ideologically.
Privately, it is recognized as an iterative way to forge collective human consciousness as we march toward the transhumanist vision of "Singularity," or as Teilhard would claim, the "Omega Point."
As this push accelerates, companies like Palantir, Amazon, and Clearview AI along with Big Brother government agencies like NSA, DHS, CIA, and the FBI continue to amass enormous amounts of data containing essentially all activity occurring in the digital space.
Smart technology and the Internet of Things (IoT) bring the all-seeing eye of technocratic overlords into the private spaces of a growing number of residences and businesses.
Backdoors in software and cyber-crime offer access to huge amounts of data believed to be private and protected, but often sold to the highest bidder.
Microsoft is upping the ante on personal surveillance.
Could a backdoor allow for the AI algorithm to transmit all private data back to Microsoft and its spook agency partners in real time?
As I've written previously, Internet of Bodies devices exist to monitor and transmit all personal data to the Internet. This industry is now broadening to include an Internet of Brains, where,
The military-intelligence complex has been conducting experiments on the human brain for a long time.
The CIA's MK-Ultra and the White House's Brain Initiative are just two examples revealing the government's longing to hack the brain and create a hivemind society where thoughts and actions can be directly controlled through technology and/or mind-altering substances.
The company behind both reports connecting bodies and brains to the Internet is the RAND Corporation. RAND's first president, H. Rowan Gaither, declared his goal to be,
Author Alex Abella, who wrote the definitive book on RAND, expounded on their technocratic goals, saying:
RAND has certainly done its part in forging collective consciousness and building the technocratic new world order.
Its website openly boasts that "satellites, systems analysis, computing, the Internet - almost all the defining features of the Information Age were shaped in part at RAND."
AI, Biometrics and Digital ID - Tools of Freedom or Tyranny?
In the papers quoted previously on cognitive warfare, malicious manipulation of digital technology is viewed as a heinous crime that must be stopped at all costs.
However, it can be argued that cognitive warfare has been perpetuated against the entire world population through the process of digitization itself.
The Digital Revolution (aka the Information Age or Third Industrial Revolution) transitioned the world from analog and mechanical devices to the digital technology of today. This Third Industrial Revolution is now giving way to the 4IR, where the ultimate goal is to merge man with machines.
This futurist archetype denigrates humanity to mere bits of data - ripe for control and manipulation by the data owners.

Humans once widely considered God's crowning achievement - reflecting the very image of the Creator of all things - are now being transitioned through self-directed evolution to forge a new identity by becoming one with technology.
Venture into any public space and it's likely you'll see most people transfixed by their smartphones, oblivious to real humans nearby. But this revolution, largely mainstreamed by Steve Jobs and Apple, was just the beginning.
The complete transition requires the unholy trinity of AI, biometrics, and digital ID, to serve as a temporary global brain until humanity reaches the imagined transcendence where godhood itself is achieved.
AI is simultaneously being heralded as the greatest human achievement ever and excoriated as the greatest threat to human survival.
Filmmaker Tonje Hessen Schei unveiled both perspectives in her documentary iHuman.
Two of the most eye-opening statements occur within the film's first ten minutes.
AI has come a long way since the film's release in 2020, and Big Tech leaders and investors such as Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Peter Diamandis offer a more positive outlook.
Some of the good AI is being used for includes detecting deadly weapons, diagnosing life-threatening health problems, protecting biodiversity, and improving access to nutrients and water.
Another "good" outcome according to Musk is that "probably none of us will have a job" and instead will have to rely on "universal high income," a fantasy unlikely to come true.
To top it off, he predicts humans will be relegated to "giving AI meaning" while man's meaning fades away.
When asked how humans will navigate our identity as AI continues to expand, Ray Kurzweil, futurist and Google director of engineering, said:
During this same event, Peter Diamandis, XPrize Foundation and Singularity University founder, discussed meshing our minds together into a "hive consciousness," a concept he refers to as "Meta-Intelligence."
Can both outlooks regarding the future of AI be true?
One describes killing, brainwashing, and oppressive surveillance while the other forecasts planetary and individual problem solving and a glorious merger of man and machine.
Perhaps an examination of digital ID and biometrics can provide some clarity on which view is most accurate.
One ID to Rule Them All
Source:
The United Nations Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) play a prominent role in advancing global digital transformation. Each of the 17 SDGs functions as a roadmap to permanently restructuring a portion of society.
All 193 UN member nations are in lockstep with the plan.
SDG 16 - Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions says that,
According to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), further justification for digital legal IDs include:
On the surface, these reasons for digital ID seem legitimate and even noble.
The UN and its government and NGO partners always sell the need for digital ID under the guise of:
It's hard to argue these are not altruistic goals. Nonetheless, digital IDs can also be used to:
According to Comparitech, 50 countries already have fully digitized identification schemes, overlooking the dangers highlighted. The rest of the world is also hastily moving forward to create digital public infrastructure (DPI), where digital ID takes center stage.
A few recent headlines attest to this urgency.
Despite all the glowing promises from the UN, digital IDs threaten to give governments the ability to control a person's life down to minute details.
Brett Solomon, a digital human rights advocate and executive director of Access Now, agrees, mentioning that digital ID,
He further adds that,
Papers No Longer Needed - Just Your Face
One of the converging technologies increasing the threat from digital IDs is biometric identification.
This rapidly growing field includes identifying humans through facial recognition, iris and retina scans, fingerprints, voice recognition, gestures, bodily implants, DNA matching, and gait (how humans walk and move).
Source:
Even more frightening is the proposed use to detect: Facial recognition stands out as the most pervasive and perhaps most problematic biometric tactic.
It is being used by law enforcement and border control, in medical facilities, retail stores, stadiums, airports, and government buildings. It's utilized by banks and financial services, healthcare, and governments to verify identity.
It is also a fundamental building block for the creation of smart cities.
Each use case may provide benefits such as convenience and security but also poses risks that could exacerbate tyrannical control of the population.
With technologies poised to detect emotion and mental state, a Minority Report-style precrime detection regime could be installed.
Digital ID and biometric technologies have been introduced as a technocratic panacea offering greater inclusivity, convenience, and safety.
In reality, they reduce human identity to a sequence of cloud-stored data while enabling total surveillance of travel, economic activity, and health status with the potential to obliterate privacy and anonymity.
I'm sure they exist, but I've never met anyone desiring a digital ID, especially after the autocratic fiasco of vaccine passports during the COVID era.
According to a report by Iain Davis and Whitney Webb, this resistance is not imaginary, as they indicated,
Australia is one country that faced staunch opposition to its digital ID plans.
Though its digital ID system legislation was recently passed by Parliament, it did not go without resistance. In fact, concessions were made to those expressing concerns about privacy, biometric testing, and mandatory usage within the legislation.
A recent Sky News video describes the extent of the resistance, echoing many of the concerns we have already presented.
The cognitive warfare-op has been deliberately engineered to make people think there is a bottom-up demand for digital surveillance tools.
Conversely, the demand is coming solely from the top through the,
...and a host of private companies too numerous to mention.
Digital ID can conceivably allow surveillance of everything one does and says online. With the overemphasis on mis- and disinformation, digital IDs can strengthen Big Tech and government's ability to control speech.
By censoring, deplatforming, and restricting access, ideas and speech deemed "hateful" or contrary to accepted narratives can be suppressed, erased, or prevented from ever appearing.
One of the ways to dismiss concerns is by reassuring citizens that digital IDs will not become mandatory and that other forms of ID will still be accepted.
However, these assurances seem unlikely to last given the billions of dollars being spent on digital ID efforts from governments and corporations worldwide.
The switcheroo will probably occur sooner or later.
A Freer, Decentralized or More Tightly Controlled World?
We have been constantly told that the digital genie unleashed can't be put back in the bottle.
Scientists, tech wizards, and bureaucrats are seizing opportunities to craft the future and stake their claim to the billions of dollars up for grabs in research, development, and deployment.
There's no doubt that some good may come from their efforts.
As history has shown, whether technology is used for good or evil depends on the intent of those who possess and control it. The tools of digital transformation may benefit society, alleviating some of the frustrating, time-wasting processes we regularly engage in.
But the potential for social, financial, and even mental control must not be disregarded.
Freedom, liberty, and justice depend on eternal vigilance.
Technocracy expert Patrick Wood doesn't believe so, noting that:
Going further, Wood adds that:
Wood also exposes the supreme value of data to technocratic systems, disclosing that:
The bio-digital surveillance system of today certainly fits everything Wood highlights.
It is akin to a modern-day techno Tower of Babel. Whether or not it's desired, mankind is being pushed toward life in a digital world bereft of privacy, individuality, and agency.
The apostles of AI, transhumanism, and bio-digital surveillance are coercing the populace into their collective consciousness paradigm.
Using cognitive warfare techniques to implant their vision of transcendence - the Omega Point where man and machine join to become a new godlike creature - we have all been enlisted to join them on their journey.
If the path to this imagined utopia begins with warfare, surveillance, and tyranny, it's fair to question whether the feigned concept should even be pursued.
If history is a good indicator, it is likely to end in massive failure and widespread human suffering.
All the World's a Stage - for Warfare
Source: NATO Cognitive Warfare research paper
At an event hosted by the Modern War Institute at West Point in 2018, neuroscientist Dr. James Giordano told cadets that:
As early as 1928, propaganda pioneer Edward Bernays understood how mind control could keep the public in line, proclaiming:
Bernays may not have envisioned this form of manipulation and control could be miniaturized and replicated for all in a handheld device.
There are ghosts in the machines we stare at while we work, inform, and entertain ourselves.
These ghosts are directing a covert war against us, deliberately spreading mis-and disinformation to confound, persuade, and control our thoughts and actions. The U.S. Army has made this plain.
We would do well to at least understand the nature of the offensive directed against us.
As the cognitive war rages against each of us, compelling us to accept this paradigm or get left behind, tough decisions must be made, and tough questions must be asked.
