TECHNOCRACY. Zbigniew Brzeziński Between Two Ages America's Role in the Technetronic Era.

(0:02) Technocracy was a major movement in the 1930s. (0:06) It was originally designed in 1932 by well-known engineers and scientists from Columbia University. (0:15) It was an economic system intended to replace capitalism and free enterprise.

(0:21) Technocracy was to be based on resources and use so-called energy credits as a payment system (0:29) instead of currency as we know it today. (0:35) The word technocracy itself was coined in 1919 by a California engineer, William H. Smith, to describe, I quote, (0:45) "the rule of the people made effective through the agency of their servants, the scientists and engineers."

(0:52) The ideology of technocracy transformed into a movement when in 1933 Howard Scott and M. King Hubbard (1:00) founded an organization called Technocracy Incorporated. (1:05) Together they wrote a study course on technocracy, which became their bible for all meetings organized in the United States and Canada. (1:14) At its peak, this membership organization had over half a million dues-paying members.

(1:20) Technocracy Incorporated defined its proposals as follows. (1:25) "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." (1:37) For the first time in human history, this will be done as a scientific, technical, and engineering problem.

(1:43) There will be no place for politics or politicians, finance or financiers. (1:47) Technocracy states that this method of operating the social mechanism on the North American continent is now necessary because we have transitioned from a state of actual scarcity to the present state of potential abundance, (2:01) in which we are now kept in a state of artificial scarcity imposed upon us to continue the price system, which can distribute goods only through a medium of exchange. (2:12) Technocracy states that price and abundance are incompatible.

The greater the abundance, the lower the price. (2:18) In true abundance, there can be no price at all; only by abandoning price control interference and replacing it with a scientific method of production and distribution can abundance be achieved. (2:30) Technocracy will distribute through a distribution certificate available to every citizen from birth to death.

(2:37) Technocracy will encompass the entire American continent from Panama to the North Pole, as the natural resources and natural boundaries of this area make it an independent, self-sufficient geographic unit. (2:50) An indication of the sources of technocracy can be the official symbol of the movement, which became a logo resembling the Chinese Tao. (2:58) It symbolized the balance between consumption and production in the form of the so-called monad. (3:04) The term monad itself comes from ancient Greek philosophy, specifically from pantheism and Pythagoreans. (3:12) It means the most basic substance.

(3:15) According to the original Pythagorean conception, the monad is a deity, the whole of all things, the supreme being. (3:22) This concept later permeated, among others, Neoplatonism, Gnosticism, and other esoteric movements in the West. (3:31) Public applause for technocracy began to wane in the early 1940s, especially after the Hearst press empire banned all its authors from writing about technocracy.

(3:43) A parallel organization had a brief existence in Nazi Germany before World War II but was eliminated by Hitler, as it was considered too close a competitor. (3:56) Individual technocrats in America and Europe still held on to the utopian dream of technocracy. (4:03) One of them was Joshua Norman Haldeman, the grandfather of the now-famous Elon Musk, who was first arrested and, upon regaining his freedom, emigrated to South Africa.

(4:16) In 1970, Zbigniew Brzeziński was a young professor of political science at Columbia University, the same place where technocracy was born. (4:26) He authored the famous book "Between Two Ages: America's Role in the Technetronic Era," which caught the eye of global banker David Rockefeller. (4:38) Together they then created the Trilateral Commission to establish a new international economic order.

(4:46) In 1987, a member of the Trilateral Commission, Gro Harlem Brundtland, concluded the activities of a task force sponsored by the United Nations with the publication "Our Common Future." (5:00) This book popularized the term sustainable development in the global consciousness. In 1992, when the UN convened the first Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Agenda 21 was born as an agenda for the 21st century.

(5:17) Brundtland's book received praise and recognition from the UN for creating the framework for Agenda 21 and related documents. (5:26) Today, Agenda 21 is still in effect but has been significantly expanded by Agenda 2030 and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals. (5:37) In 2016, at the UN Habitat III conference, a new urban agenda was adopted, the source of the so-called 15-minute cities of the C40 Cities project. (5:49) Synonyms for sustainable development are the green economy and doughnut economics. (5:55) Together, they describe a new economic paradigm closely tied to the principles of technocracy, an economic system based on resources that uses energy as a settlement.

(6:07) Cities are to be transformed into smart cities because the world is being transformed into a utopia without formal state borders, and rural residents are to be forced to live in these cities. (6:22) All areas of UN publications emphasize the doctrine of "No One Left Behind." (6:29) These are not idle speculations.

In 2015, the Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, Christiana Figueres, clearly stated: (6:41) "For the first time in the history of mankind, we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period, changing the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years since the Industrial Revolution." (6:54) This new, resource-based economic system requires 100% of production and consumption means to be in the hands of technocrats who will make all decisions for producers and consumers. (7:08) Technocrats were saying the same thing in the 1930s.

(7:12) "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," wrote The Technocrat Magazine in 1938. (7:27) The intended global technocracy will thus be run by technocrats, not politicians or representatives of the people. (7:34) According to their narrow view of science, it will simultaneously eliminate the need for elected officials.

In short, technocracy is managed as a scientific dictatorship. (7:47) Dr. Parag Khanna, a leading scholar promoting technocracy, speaks to global elites around the world. (7:55) Holding a master's degree from the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University and a doctorate from the London School of Economics, Khanna has written several highly acclaimed books on various aspects of globalism.

(8:08) In 2017, Khanna published a book with a very unequivocal title – "Technocracy in America: Rise of the Info-State." (8:18) Supported by many prominent globalists, he laid out a radical program of what direct technocracy would look like in practice. (8:28) Direct technocracy in America would look like this.

(8:31) A collective presidency consisting of about half a dozen commission members supported by a civil service better equipped to juggle complex challenges. (8:41) A multiparty legislature better reflecting the diversity of political views and using data technologies for real-time citizen consultations. (8:51) The Senate would be replaced by an assembly of governors prioritizing the common needs of the states and sharing successful policies among them, (9:01) and a judicial branch monitoring international patterns and standards and promoting constitutional amendments to keep pace with our rapidly changing times.

(9:12) Of course, we can ignore Khanna, but the global elites do not because he writes under their long-established goals to do exactly what he proposes. (9:23) Dr. Francis Schaeffer, a historian and philosopher, stated that a society devoid of fixed values that give shape and structure to life descends into a moral abyss. (9:35) To replace this necessary structure and thus avoid total social chaos, he unequivocally stated that such values would be provided by an increasingly authoritarian, technocratic elite.

(9:50) In other words, as people lose the ability to self-regulate their own lives and behavior, someone or something steps into the void and does it for them. (10:01) Brzeziński, in the aforementioned book, came to practically the same conclusion as Schaeffer, albeit for completely different reasons. He wrote: (10:10) "Such a society would be dominated by an elite whose claim to political power would rest on allegedly superior scientific knowledge."

(10:19) This elite, unrestrained by traditional liberal values, 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. (10:36) In such circumstances, the country's scientific and technological drive would not be turned back but would instead feed off the situation it exploits. (10:45) Thanks to the early members of the Trilateral Commission, China was brought out of the dark ages of its communist dictatorship onto the world stage.

(10:54) Moreover, the Trilateral Commission arranged and then facilitated the massive transfer of technology to China to build its nonexistent infrastructure, as written by history professor Antony Saton. (11:09) It is widely believed that China was initially introduced into the mainstream of world trade by Trilateral Commission co-founder Zbigniew Brzeziński. (11:19) As a fallen communist dictatorship, China was a clean slate with over a billion citizens under control.

(11:27) However, Chinese leaders knew nothing about capitalism and free enterprise, and Brzeziński made no effort to teach them. (11:36) Instead, he sowed the seeds of technocracy. (11:40) When diplomatic relations with China were normalized, global corporations linked to the Trilateral Commission rushed to build infrastructure, factories, educational facilities, financial centers, etc.

(11:54) Within 20 years from 1980 to 2000, a transformation took place that was considered an economic miracle, but it was not the work of China. (12:07) It can rather be attributed to the technocratic impulse from the ranks of the Trilateral Commission. (12:12) Today's China is a nightmare of scientific dictatorship.

(12:15) With millions of facial recognition cameras, there is at least one monitoring every seven citizens, and artificial intelligence software to immediately locate, identify, and track everyone. (12:30) In short, China has an obsession with surveillance and absolute control over its population using modern technologies. (12:40) Additionally, there is a land-grabbing policy in place.

(12:44) For example, in 2014, China unveiled a plan where by 2026, 250 million farmers would be relocated from their lands to megacities that have already been built but remain empty. (12:58) The abandoned farmland is to be merged into giant factory farms that will be operated by advanced technologies such as agricultural robots and automated tractors. (13:11) Farmers who refuse to leave their land will be aided with appropriate pressure apparatus. (13:18) This perfectly illustrates the worldwide policy of building so-called smart cities.

(13:24) Cities do not possess physical resources such as agriculture, minerals, wood, etc. (13:31) These are rather the domain of rural areas where such resources are found and exploited. (13:37) Thus, to prepare for taking over large swaths of rural areas, technocrats have developed two coordinated strategies.

(13:45) First, move people from rural to urban environments, and second, keep them there. (13:52) Once relocated to government-chosen cities, these farmers will fall into the machinery of social engineering, (13:58) which will constantly track, monitor, assign them social credit scores, (14:04) to restrict their access to so-called privileges, including even travel between districts or eating meat.

(14:13) They will never regain sufficient resources and mobility to leave the assigned cities. (14:19) In other words, they will be trapped just like the rest of the population. (14:25) The original technocrats viewed people as nothing more than resources on the same level as animals and natural resources.

(14:34) Their goal was, and still is, to apply science to effectively balance resources, (14:40) by controlling the production and consumption of goods and services. (14:45) The objects of this social engineering will have no more control over their own lives than cattle in a barn.
