Technocracy
Ascending
Part 1
Why it's Crucial to Understand the
End Game
November 25, 2024
Major shake-ups are occurring across the global stage.
History is replete with examples of breaks with
the past from major political, economic, technological, and social
upheaval.
Throughout the ages, many self-serving
individuals and groups have positioned themselves as rulers,
financiers, benefactors, and thought leaders to steer change toward
preferred outcomes.
From the Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt to the Jacobin
and Napoleon-led French Revolution in the late 18th
century, societal transformation has been constant as one form of
government replaces another.
We have now arrived at yet another historical inflection point.
The desire for political and economic
reconstruction is being demanded globally as the gap between the
ultra-wealthy and everyone else continues to accelerate.
In recent years, populism has taken flight by
inspiring the masses to reject the rule of "the elite" and chart a
new course.
However, without scrutiny, this movement and its
key figures could be just as dangerous as the establishment they are
attempting to usurp.
In fact, what we are witnessing is not populism
in its truest sense but
techno-populism or technocracy, as it has
been called since its inception in 1920.
"Technocracy originated in the winter of
1918-19 when Howard Scott formed a group of scientists,
engineers, and economists that became known in 1920 as the
Technical Alliance - a research organization.
In 1933 it was incorporated under the laws of
the State of New York as a nonprofit, non-political,
non-sectarian membership organization."
The Technocrat, Dec. 1964
What is Technocracy?
Historically, technocracy has not been well received.
In fact, many who accurately comprehended its
goals viewed it as a threat to democracy and the debt-based economic
order run by the central banking establishment that has dominated
the last century.
Technocrats railed against this "Price System,"
arguing it alone was to blame for the inequalities and
inefficiencies of society.
There is definitely some truth to their claims.
"Under the Price System at its best
there is not a single field of endeavor where the best technical
standards are allowed to prevail.
In other words,
poverty, waste, crime, poor public
health, bad living conditions, enforced scarcity, and low
load-factors, are every one the direct and necessary
consequences of the Price System...
What we have tried to make clear is that it
is the Price System itself, and not the individual human being,
which is at fault."

Technocracy can be defined simply as an
impersonal and scientific method of managing all aspects of a
society.
Its primary concerns deal with how energy is
produced and used. But it goes much deeper than this.
One of the best explanations can be found in an
issue of The Technocrat magazine from September 1937, where it
states:
"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 of this continent.
For the first time in human history it will
be done as a scientific, technical, engineering problem.
There will be no place for Politics or
Politicians, Finance or Financeers, Rackets or Racketeers."
The technocratic dream is revolutionary in scope,
envisioning a total reorganization of industry, government, and law
and order.
They readily admit their intent is to socially
engineer all of society, seize control of the production and
distribution of all goods and services, and rid the world of rule by
politicians and (traditional) financial controllers.
The U.S. Constitution is also viewed as a relic,
completely unfit to serve as a basis of governance and human rights.
"Another job which has been neglected far too
long is the rebuilding of our governmental machinery, from the
village level right up to Congress.
It cannot be avoided much longer, simply
because the country has outgrown the constitutional clothes
which the Founding Fathers tailored for it nearly two centuries
ago.
They have become as anachronistic, and as
impractical, as a Pilgrim's costume on an astronaut."
Edith Chamberlain, The
Technocrat, Dec. 1964
Technocrats make no pretense about maintaining a
representative form of government be it a republic (as the USA was
founded as) or democracy (what the USA has become).
Its goal is to establish a scientific
dictatorship to initiate and control all societal
functions...!
Technocrats distanced themselves and were highly
critical of fascists, communists, socialists, and other political
movements but don't have a problem with their own totalitarian style
of rule termed a Technate.
"Technocracy finds that the production and
distribution of an abundance of physical wealth on a Continental
scale for the use of all Continental citizens can only be
accomplished by a Continental technological control, a
governance of function, a Technate."
Technocracy Study Course, Technocracy Inc.
1933
Figure 22.1 from the
Technocracy Study Course
illustrates the
point above revealing that
technocracy is simply
another form of top-down rule
with a Continental
Director having total authority
of all societal
functions.
A December 1964, issue of
The Technocrat magazine further explained
that:
"Technocracy holds that all decisions
pertaining to the functional operation of the society - the
production and distribution of goods and services, research, and
governance - should be made by technical men and women.
This does not mean that the technical people
should leave their technical positions and go into politics,
law, business promotion, public relations, and moral philosophy.
Rather, it means that the scientists,
technologists, engineers, and technicians shall continue to
operate as such and that the decision-making of the society be
moved into their functional realms."

Regardless of one's comprehension of technocratic plans, a
monumental reshaping of governments, economies, and societies is
occurring, but not by elected representatives, constitutions,
creeds, or the will of the people.
Power is now concentrated in the hands of an
exclusive class of scientists, technologists, engineers, and
technicians - many of whom also happen to head multi-billion-dollar
corporations.
"We are also finding that technology has made
people more isolated and infringes upon privacy with
consequences yet to be realized.
When we see the relationship between tech
companies and government flourish, we are ultimately watching
the implementation of a full-fledged technocracy."
Pendleton, Joseph
Californication: The Rise of the
American Technocracy (p. 20).
The Conservatarian Press.
Silicon Valley is the seat of modern technocracy.
Big Tech is the euphemism for which it's currently known. The World
Economic Forum defines this dynamic as public-private
partnerships (PPP).
Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and Marc Andreeson are
some of today's most prominent techno-populists.
Many believe they are modern day Justice
League type heroes leading the world to newfound freedom (or at
least in the United States).
All were
major contributors to Donald Trump's
reelection campaign in 2024.
Vice President-Elect J.D. Vance has deep
connections to Peter Thiel, indicating how close technocrats truly
are to running the country...
Jeff Bezos, Tim Cook, and Sam Altman are also
among the many tech gurus
aligning themselves with the newly elected
Trump administration.
These endorsements indicate that for now,
technocrats are content with using politicians and the political
system to quietly transform the government into a full-fledged
Technate from the inside out and vice versa.
"It is the man who has command of the
technical information who makes the real decisions in the
functional phases of modern life.
He is the only one who understands what needs
to be done and how to do it.
The politicians and financial manipulators
who pretend that the right of decision is theirs are helpless
without the technical men."
The Technocrat, Dec. 1964
Something else technocrats correctly understood
was the sham of voting and elections.
Perhaps this is another reason
why they stayed hidden in times past, realizing the populace was not
ready to accept this truth.
"In the United States, it is generally
assumed that the people vote for the kind of government they
want, but that is not exactly true.
Technically, they do not even vote directly
for their president; they vote for electors who, in turn, are
tacitly committed to vote for indicated candidates, the exact
rules varying with the different states.
Moreover, the public has little voice in
choosing the candidates; it usually ends up with their having a
choice between two men chosen by the respective political party
'machines.'
And they have less choice concerning the
policies of the president.
Once elected, the president is under no real
obligation to heed the desires of the people and often acts
contrary to his campaign promises."
The Technocrat, Dec. 1964
Would
Donald Trump have been "reelected" without
the help of the aforementioned technocrats?
Now that he will resume the Presidency, will he
be more beholden to the people or his big moneyed investors from
Silicon Valley?
Why is Technocracy Ascending Now?
Technocracy has long been resisted by traditional powers and was
originally conceived only for the North American Continent.
Today, technocracy is rising from the ashes like
the Phoenix legend to become a global force to be reckoned with.
I
believe this is largely because of the pending economic meltdown...!
The debt-based, fiat currency system is at the
end of its life cycle and the central bank establishment is looking
for new ways to maintain control of the monetary system.
They have joined ranks with the technocrats who
were correct in predicting that the system would crash (though it
has yet to take place due to manipulation tactics keeping it at
bay).
"If the human race on this Continent is to
survive the crash of the Price System, Technocracy will have to
be put into practice."
Technocracy in Plain Terms,
Technocracy Inc. 1939
By adopting technocracy,
the banking elite not
only can retain control over the monetary system, but they will also
cement their rule over all industries, natural resources,
governments, institutions, and people...
Technocracy Wouldn't Exist Without
Advances in Technology
Big Tech products are ubiquitous and thought to be indispensable in
our ultramodern, future-oriented world.
AI, robotics, and the Internet of Things (IoT)
are touted as catalysts that can lead to a future of ease and
prosperity for all.
These technologies and more are considered part
of the
Fourth Industrial Revolution aka Industry 4.0,
where the shift to digital technologies will supersede past ways of
conducting business, communicating, and governing with one major
caveat:
the potential to overtake humanity itself and
render humans as "hackable animals" and "useless people."
Consider the following statements from some of
the world's most prominent thought leaders.
"Technologies that are emerging today will
soon be shaping the world tomorrow and well into the future -
with impacts to economies and to society at large.
Now that we are well into the Fourth
Industrial Revolution, it's critical that we discuss and ensure
that humanity is served by these new innovations so that we can
continue to prosper."
–
Mariette DiChristina,
(former) Editor-in-Chief of
Scientific American, and chair of the Emerging Technologies
Steering Committee
"We must develop a comprehensive and globally shared view of how
technology is affecting our lives and reshaping our economic,
social, cultural, and human environments.
There has never been a time of greater
promise, or greater peril."
–
Klaus Schwab,
Founder and Executive
Chairman, World Economic Forum
"Now, fast forward to the early 21st century when we just don't
need the vast majority of the population...
Most people don't contribute anything to
that, except perhaps for their data, and whatever people are
still doing which is useful, these technologies increasingly
will make redundant and will make it possible to replace the
people."

Yuval Noah Harrari,
Author, Historian, and
Philosopher
"Probably none of us will have a job."

Elon Musk
(referring to the rise of
Artificial Intelligence)
Paradoxically, technocracy claims to enable widespread prosperity
while also rendering the lot of humanity replaceable, useless, and
without meaning.
How can this be?
To technocrats of yesteryear,
there was not much
difference between human beings, dogs, pigs, and cars...
The belief
that humans are the capstone of all creation and made in the image
of God was routinely mocked and discredited.
In a chapter entitled, The Human Animal,
the Technocracy Study Course further elaborates on its base view of
humanity, stating:
"The developments in the fields of
physiology, biochemistry and biophysics, chiefly since 1900, are
at last bringing us down to earth.
Attention has already been called to the fact
that the human body is composed chemically of the ordinary
substances of which rocks are made.
So are dogs, horses and pigs. In an earlier
lesson, while discussing the 'human engine,' we pointed out that
the human body obeys identically the same laws of energy
transformation as a steam engine.
This also is true of dogs, horses and pigs.
These facts might lead one to suspect that
human beings are very far removed from the semi-supernatural
creatures they have heretofore supposed themselves to be...
When we observe a human being we merely perceive an object which
makes a certain variety of motions and noises. The same is true,
however, when we observe a dog or a Ford car."
Modern technocrats also view the human as mere
biological material that can be manipulated as needed, as evidenced
by World Economic Forum Founder and Chairman
Klaus Schwab:
"This Fourth Industrial Revolution is,
however, fundamentally different.
It is characterized by a range of new
technologies that are fusing the physical, digital, and
biological worlds, impacting all disciplines, economies and
industries, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be
human."
Contemporary technocracy has now merged with
transhumanism forming a dangerous combination, as noted by author
Patrick Wood, who wrote:
"Technocrats see science and technology as
the answer to improve and control society; transhumanists see
the same science and technology as the answer to improve and
control the human condition."
–
The Evil Twins of Technocracy and
Transhumanism (p. 19).
Why You Should Care About the Rise
of Technocracy
Hopefully all the dots are starting to connect, enabling you to see
where all of this is heading.
Technocracy's ascendance is a threat to all of
humanity. Technocrats promise a utopian existence where abundance is
the norm and work is optional, if not completely unnecessary.
The self-appointed leaders believe they know best
how to manage the world's resources and its people. To accomplish
these lofty goals, the social structure will have to undergo drastic
changes which include redefining work and wages.
The following excerpt from the
Technocracy Study
Course provides a detailed overview of what this entails.
"If the production is to be non-oscillatory
and maintained at a high level so as to provide a high standard
of living, it follows that consumption must be kept equal to
production, and that a system of distribution must be designed
which will allow this.
This system of distribution must do the
following things:
-
Register on a continuous 24-hour time
period basis the total net conversion of energy, which would
determine (a) the availability of energy for Continental
plant construction and maintenance, (b) the amount of
physical wealth available in the form of consumable goods
and services for consumption by the total population during
the balanced load period.
-
By means of the registration of energy
converted and consumed, make possible a balanced load.
-
Provide a continuous 24-hour inventory of
all production and consumption.
-
Provide a specific registration of the
type, kind, etc., of all goods and services, where produced,
and where used.
-
Provide specific registration of the
consumption of each individual, plus a record and
description of the individual.
-
Allow the citizen the widest latitude of
choice in consuming his individual share of Continental
physical wealth.
-
Distribute goods and services to every
member of the population.
In short,
the goal of technocracy is to
micromanage everything you do, produce, and consume through nonstop
surveillance...!
This was not technically possible with the crude
paper methods proposed by early technocrats.
However, it is becoming
achievable with the advent of digital technologies such as,
biometrics, Big Data, geospatial intelligence, digital currency, AI,
and 5G...
In a Technate, there will be no free-market
economy where the average person could obtain wealth by starting a
business or embarking upon a lucrative career path.
Instead, technocrats promise each person a share
of the overall wealth produced through the issue of Energy
Certificates.
Under a technological administration of
abundance, there is only one efficient method - that employing a
system of Energy Certificates...
These certificates are merely pieces of paper
containing certain printed matter.
They are issued individually to every adult
of the entire population. The certificates issued to an
individual may be thought of as possessing some of the
properties both of bank cheque and of a traveler's cheque.
They would resemble a bank cheque in that
they carry no face denomination. They receive their denomination
only when being spent.
They resemble a traveler's cheque in that
they possess some means of ready identification, such as
counter-signature, photograph, or some similar device, so as to
establish easy identification by the person to whom issued, and
at the same time remain absolutely useless in the hands of
anyone else."
Technocracy Study Course, p.230
Today, Energy Certificates could take the form of
Universal Basic/High Income payments issued in the form of
Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC)
or some other form of digital currency.
Corporate transactions could be conducted via
carbon credits.
Regardless of the mechanism of financial
transfer, the individual will be totally dependent on the Technate
with everything one does requiring a digital ID.

The American dream of upward mobility, already heading toward
extinction, will receive the knockout blow in a technocratic regime.
Instead, compliance and energy usage will determine your level of
prosperity.
Property rights will also go out the window as
the plan is to revolutionize housing into energy-efficient units
with little variety and few manufacturers.
This could occur today through the combination of
an economic crisis wiping out individual wealth and mass
printing of
3D houses fit for the technocratic era.
As envisioned, technocracy is no better than communism, fascism, or
socialism.
It's just another power grab by individuals who believe
they are smarter than the rest of us, with a promised utopia that
will never materialize.
These prognostications may seem far-fetched now, but the rest of
this series will spell out in detail how close the technocratic
fantasy is becoming a reality.
It is important for people everywhere to
understand the implications of what is taking place and not be
fooled by wolves in sheep's clothing proclaiming a
new golden age of
humanity is imminent.
The question is,
A golden age for who?
Cui bono?
