This book review
was written on February 25, 2015, just after my first
book on Technocracy was published.
I'm saddened that
most of the world went merrily on its way while the
greatest to humanity loomed like a giant vampire squid.
'Technocracy
Rising' should be required for all public servants,
elected or not.
Today, with the
rise of Technopopulism (blending Technocracy with
Populism), every chapter foretold precisely where we
were headed.
Meanwhile, the
populist movement runs to and fro with reckless abandon
like a herd of wildebeests on the African savanna.
Readership of 'Technocracy
News' and Trends and my books,
...have shifted to
an international audience who is truly alarmed about the
progression of Technocracy.
In fairness to
ignorant Americans,
Google has crushed the
traffic to Technocracy.news (to the tune of 95 percent)
in the last four years, denying millions right to hear
about Technocracy.
But this rampant
censorship did not extend back for fifteen years when I
started writing about the Technocracy in the first
place.

10th
Anniversary Flashback:
The Rise of The Technocrats,
and Can They Be Stopped?
Introduction
Many people question the wisdom of having a risky "smart grid" being
imposed upon them and then ask,
"Why? Why would people in authority ignore
the tremendous risks associated with this technology?"
To fully answer this question, it first helps to
gain a better awareness of how the "smart grid" fits into the larger
picture of a troublesome transformation that is occurring within our
society.
Although the signs of this transformation are
evident, its careful orchestration is being carried out "under the
radar" by people who should properly be characterized as
"Technocrats."
Technocrats are individuals who firmly believe that societal
problems can and must be solved using technology-focused solutions.
Some of these individuals are quite extreme in
their beliefs and favor a form of government, a technocracy, which
would represent a scientific dictatorship.
In this technocracy, the current price-based
economic system would be replaced with one based upon the control of
energy distribution and consumption. Such a world would be one where
"Technocrats" know best and impose their esoteric idealized view of
society upon the human race.
Technologically based corporations and
professional organizations are seen as enablers of this societal
transformation.
New Book on the Rise of
Technocracy
Patrick M. Wood has just
written a new book called,
Technocracy Rising - The Trojan Horse of
Global Transformation, where he,
"connects the dots on the largest, most
insidious and most wrenching transformation of global society
that the earth has ever experienced."
What follows is primarily a summary of
information contained in Wood's new book, compiled from a
combination of selected quotations of the book itself and from press
kit information available as part of the book's promotion.
As stated by Wood in the Introduction to the newly published
book:
"My premise is that when [the
Trilateral Commission] was
founded in 1973, [it] quietly adopted a modified version of
historic Technocracy to craft what it called a 'New
International Economic Order'.
This has been largely unrecognized even to
this day.
With the combined weight of the most powerful
global elite behind it, Technocracy has flourished in the modern
world and has perhaps reached the tipping point of no return.
This book will explain Technocracy in detail,
demonstrate the methodology that has been used to implement it,
document the control over power centers that allowed the
methodology to be used, and most importantly, expose the
perpetrators who are responsible for it."
United Nations Agenda 21 and
Sustainable Development
"Agenda
21 is Technocracy's plan for the 21st century.
The agent of implementation is
Sustainable Development.
The driver is
the United Nations.
The perpetrators are members of the
Trilateral Commission and their globalist cronies.
The victims are all the peoples of the
world..."
The Green Economy
The Trilateral's New International Economic Order, based on
historic Technocracy, is using Sustainable Development and
United Nations Agenda 21 to
create a new, post-capitalist "green economy" that is based on
energy production and consumption.
The "green economy" is the heartbeat of Technocracy - the United
Nations defines it as a "decoupling of resource use from economic
growth," which is actually an oxymoron, but is what is happening.
Principles of Sustainable Development take
precedence over traditional economic and political policies.
The Smart Grid and the IEEE
Two key requirements for Technocracy as first outlined in the 1930s
were:
"Register on a continuous 24 hour per-day
basis the total net conversion of energy"
"By means of the registration of energy converted and consumed,
make possible a balanced load"
The above requirements were technologically out
of reach in the 1930s, but now with the advent of wireless
technologies and smart meters, the Technocrat's dream is finally
capable of being realized.
"Proponents of Smart Grid have claimed that
it will empower the consumer to better manage his or her power
consumption and hence, costs.
The utility companies will therefore be more
efficient in balancing power loads and requirements across
diverse markets.
However, like carnival barkers, these
Smart Grid hucksters never revealed where or how Smart Grid
came into being, nor what the ultimate endgame might be."
"The reader should again note that the reasons for the existence
of the Technocracy movement in the 1930s are the same reasons
given today: energy efficiency, load balancing, fairness,
alleviating poverty and hunger, etc.
The feigned concern for those in poverty and
hunger in the underdeveloped nations is hollow.
Technocracy is pointedly amoral in its
practice: the means (their Scientific Method/ process) justifies
the end, whatever the end might turn out to be."
"The global energy network, or Smart Grid, will operate
according to universally accepted engineering standards that
make data and energy flows compatible with each other.
Who will supply such standards? The venerable
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, or IEEE."
"As it states on its Smart Grid
website, the IEEE has staked
its claim, in clear language, on the global energy initiative:
'There's no global organization to
oversee all nations' energy systems transformations, it is a
vast movement and it's in its infancy.
With our 38 societies and seven councils
IEEE is positioned to lead the smart grid initiative'."
"The IEEE Student Branch at Northern Illinois
University notes on their web site that the,
'IEEE has managed to bring technocrats
from all over the world on a single platform.'
Indeed."
"Whenever concerns are raised as to motive and agenda [of the
Smart Grid], criticism is deflected with the 'It's good for the
consumer!' mantra.
It is claimed that they are helping to lower
energy costs, giving more options to consumers and more fairly
distributing limited resources for economic progress.
Perhaps technocrats believe this themselves,
but I don't and neither should you."
"[T]he completion and activation of Smart Grid will all but
guarantee the full and immediate implementation of Technocracy."
It is noteworthy that the IEEE promotes
exponential use of wireless radiofrequency (RF) emitting
technologies that have not been demonstrated as safe for the public
from a health perspective.
As the IEEE can now be recognized as a principal
enabler in the transformation to a Technocracy, the indiscriminate
promotion and use of wireless technologies for such devices as smart
meters and other "smart" products should no longer surprise people.
A Total Surveillance Society
Another specific requirement of early Technocracy was to,
"Provide specific registration of the
consumption of each individual, plus a record and description of
the individual."
A "scientific society" cannot be run without
comprehensive monitoring and control.
As stated in Wood's book,
"Every engineer knows that you cannot control
what you cannot monitor and measure."
Attacking the Pillars of Our
Society
Our society is under attack by the Technocrats:
"It has... been stated that society rests on
three identical pillars:
-
Economics
-
Politics
-
Religion
To the extent that they are compatible with
each other, a society will prosper.
Likewise, society will falter to the extent
of disharmony or outright removal of one or more pillars. In
America, all three areas are under attack at the same time.
It is therefore no wonder that society is
straining at the seams, or that it seems so different today
compared to 40 years ago.
-
Our existing price-based economic system
is being reinvented with new and untested 'green' economic
theories that decouple resource use from economic growth.
-
Our political system of Constitutional
Rule of Law is being replaced by a system of autocratic
regulations, created and enforced by unelected and
unaccountable Technocrats.
-
Our moral system of Judeo-Christian
ethics has been consistently excluded from government, with
a seemingly impenetrable barrier placed between church and
state and is being replaced with a humanistic "religion"
based on Scientism."
Reinventing Government
To facilitate the new "green economy," it is necessary to transform
government to be compatible.
This was started by Trilaterals
Bill Clinton and
Al Gore with their "Reinventing
Government" initiative during the 1990s.
"In America, government has traditionally
been based on geographical boundaries.
A city has 'city limits', a county has a
'county line' and a state has borders.
Within those geographical limits, the
citizens exercise political autonomy to create whatever kind of
life they want to enjoy, and each grouping of citizens must
determine how to best run its own infrastructure, education,
health care, social services, etc.
Technocracy turns this concept on its head by
dissolving sovereign borders while calling for a system of
governance based on Functional Sequence that removes a segment
of responsibility from the lower political entity and awards it
to a higher level."
Modern examples of the Technocrat's "Functional
Sequences" include,
-
health care (Obamacare)
-
control over water (Army Corps of
Engineers)
-
land (Councils of Governments)
-
agricultural practices (Bureau of Land
Management)
-
education (Common Core)
-
energy (Department of Energy, Smart Grid)
-
transportation (Metropolitan Planning
Organizations)
-
emergency management (FEMA)
...and so on.
Transforming Religion
"John Adams, a signer of the
Declaration of Independence and the second President of the
U.S., declared,
'We have no government armed with power
capable of contending with human passions unbridled by
morality and religion...
Our constitution was made only for a
moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the
government of any other'."
"Having a Constitution that was originally
based on principles of Biblical Christianity, it is therefore no
wonder that respect for the Constitution has slipped in direct
proportion to respect of Christianity."
"Technocracy [is] thoroughly anti-Christian and completely
intolerant of Biblical thought."
"[T]he global elite... are implementing a coordinated system of
Technocracy... intensely interested in promoting a system of
sustainable religion based on Humanism alongside the economic
and governance system and thus completing their strategy for a
transformed and sustainable global society."
Taking Action and Conclusions
Quoting from the Wood's book:
"This may seem harsh to some, but Americans
need to face the hard facts of reality.
We find ourselves in our current situation
because our enemies have had a clearly superior strategy from
the start while we - the people - have had no coherent strategy
at all.
We have lost battle after battle and are
almost to the point of losing the war altogether.
We can work this dilemma backward by calling on General Sun
Tzu (circa 500BC), the noted Chinese military strategist and
philosopher.
Tzu wrote
The Art of War, a simple book
that has been used by military strategists ever since, including
those from the United States.
Chapter Three states, in part,
'If you know the enemy and know yourself,
you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.
If you know yourself but not the enemy,
for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat.
If you know neither the enemy nor
yourself, you will succumb in every battle'."
"If we choose to ignore and do nothing about
Technocracy and its perpetrators, it is most certain that it
will sweep over the entire world like a giant tsunami, pressing
all of mankind into a scientific dictatorship that
is devoid of any human capacity for things like,
-
compassion
-
mercy
-
justice
-
freedom
-
liberty"...
Wood in his book includes some tips on how
to take action and fight the perpetrators of Technocracy.
To fully repeat them here would go beyond the
"fair use" quotations provided to the reader in this article.
This article was primarily aimed at raising
awareness to Technocracy as an imminent threat to our society
and how it relates to the Smart Grid.
In general, people must first know the enemy and
their intentions before being able to properly develop a strategy.
Wood mentions that you must fight the enemy
where you find them and emphasizes that this fight should be
waged in a peaceful manner, i.e., not inflicting "bodily harm of
any kind."
When America was attacked at Pearl Harbor, we knew our enemy.
In the current situation, people sense things
are falling apart but typically blame an off-the-mark enemy,
like "big government" or the opposite political party from their
own.
The 'enemy' in this instance consists of,
the members of the Trilateral Commission,
their cronies, the thousands of seemingly unaccountable
Technocrats who exist at all levels of government, within
corporations, and as members of professional organizations
like the IEEE.
Learn to identify and oppose Technocrats at the
local level.
If a local official promotes or works with an
agency of
the United Nations or an
affiliated non-governmental organization, chances are the person
is a Technocrat whether he or she admits it or not.
If a person creates or enforces regulations
or policies that are not subject to legislative, judicial or
public approval, then you are likely dealing with a Technocrat.
Wood mentions that Technocrats at the national or
international level are more hardened in their beliefs and more
skilled at dodging the issues, etc.
At the local level, a Technocrat may not have
experienced organized resistance and may be more vulnerable to
informed opposition.
In some cases, successful opposition might be as
simple as making clear to elected officials that not acting in the
public's best interests may result in a political backlash and being
voted out of office.
Patrick Wood's book includes a section called,
"How to Get a Technocrat Fired," which provides a discussion of more
aggressive actions that might be taken, some of which would involve
the services of an attorney.
Modern day Technocracy is in fact
the fruition of the worst fears of writers like Aldous Huxley
for
Brave New World and George
Orwell for
Nineteen Eighty Four.
Both books had differing visions of technocratic
control where people's lives were managed in every detail.
In his book, Wood provides the perspective that "all hope is not
lost, but it is quickly fading" in terms of halting the global
transformation of America and other freedom loving countries.
But he states that,
"Americans rejected Technocracy in the 1930s,
and if we choose to, we can reject it today as well."
In terms of fighting smart meters, activists and
consumers oppose them for a variety of reasons, citing health,
privacy, cyber threats, fire safety, and other concerns.
What might be needed is a more full awareness
that fighting the smart grid actually dovetails with a broader fight
to preserve our personal liberties and the basic underpinnings of
our society.
We all need to do our part in this endeavor.
As Patrick Wood concludes,
"perhaps we will find ways to stop the
destruction of liberty, and soon. If not us, then who? If not
now, then when?"
Commentary
SkyVision Solutions agrees with Wood's perspective that
tremendous damage is being perpetrated against America and other
countries under the guise of,
There are also those who promote,
"technological innovation" at all costs due
to "the need to rapidly increase living standards and quality of
life."
The 2014 ITIF Luddite Awards
The people perpetrating these agendas can be
properly called "technocrats."
SkyVision Solutions, however, perceives
less direct linkage of these technocratic efforts to the Trilateral
Commission than portrayed by Patrick Wood.
The global transformation to Technocracy is
underway and even if it did somehow have origins with the Trilateral
Commission, its scope has clearly expanded well beyond it.
What is important at this juncture is that
Technocrats be identified wherever they currently exist and
that they are vigorously opposed and defeated.
