The End Goal

Mother/Android is not a great film by any means but the plot twist in it is memorable (spoiler alert). It's hinted at in something that the android said after helping the mother. In the following dialog, the mother still thinks the android is human:

Android: But you need to get with the program here. They're not butlers anymore. They're killing machines. And they've jumped the evolutionary chain. They've hacked our programming and they'll use it against us until we're all dead.

Mother: "Hacked our programming", what do you mean? We're not robots, you can't hack us.

Android: Love. I know it sounds dumb but that what it is. Human beings are programmed through hormones and primal urges to have emotional connections. It's what kept us alive this long. Parents, spouses, children. But an android doesn't have that. An android is expendable. They don't have self-preservation and they'll sacrifice themselves and others if it brings them closer to their goal. They can reason past sentiment and emotional bond. It's love. Love makes us selfish. Love will kill us all.  

Mother: I can't leave him to die.

Android: You wanna live?

Mother: Of course.

Android: Save yourself. That's what they would do. They have strategy like you wouldn't believe"

The last line is the most telling: "They have strategy like you wouldn't believe". It's the strategy that takes the mother's breath away when she finally realises that the android has played her big time.  The twist struck a chord with me because I was reminded of the grand chessboard and the game being played by the members of the global elite, a game designed to bring them closer to their goal.

"They'll sacrifice themselves and others if it brings them closer to their goal". There is a similarity between androids, psychopaths and true believers: "they can reason past sentiment and emotional bond". Not all members of the global elite are psychopaths but those who are not are true believers who believe in the goal of a technocratic world in which everyone and everything is monitored and controlled. 

This technocratic elite, whether driven by true belief or the psychopathic love of power, are masterful strategists whose tactical moves can divert and confuse us if we lose sight of the big picture (something that they never do). For example, the dream of global governance demands the subservience of nation states and yet the puppet leaders of those very nation states can at times be encouraged, prodded or blackmailed into defiance of international norms by their puppet masters.

With Russia  and Ukraine, the former serves as an example of what a rogue nation state can get up if not properly controlled by an overarching global government. The villain, Russia, is the target of unrelenting main stream media attacks but villains are carefully chosen. The egregious invasion of other countries by the United States, with Israel pulling the strings of its leaders, does not qualify it for villain status. Thus the current vilification of Russia is tactical and Putin has certainly not embarked on his current adventures without getting the nod from his superiors.

The Russia-Ukraine conflict will disrupt global supply chains even further, undermine trust in the US dollar as a reserve currency, increase inflation and move the world closer to a global digital currency. It seems to be phase 2 of the Great Reset, with the "plandemic" being Phase 1. It will be interesting to see how Putin emerges from the current conflict. It's certain he has been promised much in terms of long term compensation but he may well be sacrificed if necessary.

What's conspicuously absent from the global strategy of the technocrats is love. "Human beings are programmed through hormones and primal urges to have emotional connections. It's what kept us alive this long. Parents, spouses, children." The technocrats, like the androids in the movie, don't have that. The family is an impediment to their dream of total control and they must do all they can to undermine and destroy it. So far, they have been doing a good job.

Perhaps when the android says that "love will kill us all", he is speaking about his own species. Love will certainly eventually triumph over the global elite. In the meantime, it is important not to be deceived by polarising propaganda spewing forth from mainstream media sources. 

ADDENDUM

The day after I created this post, I came across the following quote:

“They fear love because it creates a world they can't control.” 

George Orwell, 1984

It fitted in so well with the content of this post that I thought I'd add it in. There is even a pictorial version. See  Figure 1.

Figure 1

Given that I had a digital copy of 1984, I thought I'd look up the quote and see in what context it appeared. A search for the sentence or even part of it came up blank. The quote seems to appear about the middle of 2021 and keeps getting recycled without any due diligence as to its provenance. Interesting. It just shows how misinformation can proliferate. In this case, it's quite harmless but the lesson is that you should always check your sources.

China and Israel

This article appeared on April 3rd 2019 in Gatestone Institute's website titled China's Han Superstate: The New Third Reich and is largely an exercise in China-bashing but there was some content of interest. Here is an excerpt:

The Third Reich and the People's Republic share a virulent racism, in China politely referred to as "Han chauvinism." The Han category, which is said to include about 92% of the population of the People's Republic, is in truth the amalgamation of related ethnic groups. 

Chinese mythology holds that all Chinese are descendants of the Yellow Emperor, who is thought to have ruled in the third millennium BCE. The Chinese consider themselves to be a branch of humanity separate from the rest of the world, a view reinforced by indoctrination in schools, among other means. 

Chinese scholars support this notion of Chinese separateness with the "Peking Man" theory of evolution, which holds the Chinese do not share a common African ancestor with the remainder of humankind. This theory of the unique evolution of the Chinese has, not surprisingly, reinforced racist views. 

As a result of racism, many in China, including officials believe themselves to be categorically different from and, by implication, superior to the rest of humankind, says Fei-Ling Wang, author of The China Order: Centralia, World Empire, and the Nature of Chinese Power.

This reminded me of Bibi's portrayal of Israelis as also being very special in terms of their entrepreneurial skills and technological prowess. Some Jews do regard themselves as belonging to God's chosen people and believe that the Jewish people are destined to rule the world. Of course, not all people who identify as Jews believe this, just as many Chinese do not believe that they are superior to the rest of humanity. Let's agree though that there is a streak of superiority running through the culture in both countries. Both would like to see themselves as the centre of the world. Additionally, both Israel and China have, in proportion to their respective populations, large diaspora communities and reputation as as entrepreneurs.

Both countries are technocracies and major players on the international stage. The totalitarian nature of China's technocracy has enabled it to become a testing ground for social engineering experiments that the governments of most other countries could not inflict on their populations without provoking revolution. Nonetheless, the technocrats outside of China secretly look on admiringly at the extent of China's control over its population. It's useful for these same technocrats to have China remain a totalitarian technocracy so that their own implementation of technocracy appears benevolent and moderate by comparison. In truth however, they will not be all that different and the populations of technocracies outside China will enjoy only a semblance of freedom. In most respects they will be identical, with individuals having every movement and financial transaction monitored.

After Winnie's departure, whether due to death by natural causes or some sort of coup, the Chinese technocrats will never allow another dictator like him (and Mao before him) to arise. They will have learned their lesson and a more moderate technocracy will emerge, at least overtly, that will blend in more easily with the worldwide model. There is really no need to curtail religious liberties and any other perceived liberties once full technocratic control has been established. Such control is being made possible by technology and specifically the Internet of Things. Any cults that might evolve and pose a threat to the established order will be snuffed out before they become serious threats. A strong, omnipresent police force is essential to enforce control and such a force needs not even be human given the progress being made in the development of robots and artificial intelligence. An international intelligence agency, with staff overseen by a supervising elite who are themselves only a tier below the ultimate ruling elite, will be the critical means of keeping control.

Dictators represent a threat to technocracy because their whims can disrupt the existing systems that are in place. Systems are at the heart of technocracy and they need to run smoothly. Dictators can prove useful in the earlier stages of establishing a worldwide technocracy, just as Xi Jinping is proving at the moment. Once they have outlived their usefulness, they will be removed. The technocracy that is China today only came into existence in the 1970's because of intervention by Western technocrats after Mao's demise. It is a Western invention that has morphed into the current totalitarian variant thanks to Mao's legacy in the nation's consciousness. This seems to be what Winnie has been possessed or obsessed by. Prior to his rise, the 19 members of the Politburo represented the technocratic rulership with the seven member Politburo Standing Committee holding the real power. Now all the power is concentrated in Winnie with the remaining committee members subservient to him.

Of course given that psychopaths comprise arguably 4% (or maybe 6%) of the population globally, it's inevitable that some will be attracted to and aspire to become technocrats because that is where the power resides in a technocracy. In their climb to the upper rungs of the ladder, they are very successful given their ruthlessness and complete absence of any sense of morality. This means that in a technocracy they will comprise far more than 4% of the technocratic population. They will always pose a threat to the smooth running of a technocracy because they have no belief in it or allegiance to it. Psychopaths are only interested in themselves. Winnie certainly looks the part of the smiling psychopath but whether he is one or not I don't know. In a way, technocracies themselves are inherently psychopathic, just as many corporations are, because the smooth running of both becomes the most important consideration and not their impact on human beings. Thus technocracies and psychopaths are a good fit but psychopaths don't like to share and thus cosy arrangements like the Politburo Standing Committee with its rotating leadership work well until one of the psychopaths within claims all the pie. No more sharing.

Israel and China are playing their parts in the move toward a worldwide technocracy to which nation states will be subservient. Israel has destabilised the Middle East, effectively and cleverly destroying any chance of Arab or Islamic unity. For a technocracy to be effective, individuals need be compliant and not able to band together into coherent groups that might challenge its imposition. A strong sense of identity, forged by identification with a religion, an ethnicity or a nation, needs to be undermined so that a sense of disconnectedness arises. This is being done while at the same time the opposite is happening with Israel. Jews all over the world are being encouraged to move to Israel to make it greater (and more populous). However, the rank and file Jews who choose to return or who are currently resident in Israel are merely part of a much larger, global game just as European Jews were in World War 2. The global elite care little for the rank and file whether they be Jewish or non-Jewish. It serves their interests to strengthen Israel at the moment.

China is the testing ground for the technologies and social engineering that will characterise the full flowering of technocracy. China's power will wane as its population shrinks and the power of the city state grows. For technocracy to fully take hold, people must be herded into cities where they can be effectively monitored and controlled. Urbanisation must continue until the countryside is effectively depopulated and dominated by huge conglomerates whose workers, whether human or robotic, are used to supply fruit, vegetables and meat to the cities. The process is well underway. Thus the notion of a nation state will be steadily eroded and replaced by a sense of belonging to a city state. People may journey to the countryside for holidays but they will not live or work there, simply because it won't be financially viable to do so. The few renegades who decide to abandon the cities and roam about the countryside will be easily monitored and committed to mental institutions if they prove too troublesome.

The ruling elite certainly don't envisage a planet will be a population of many billions of people as exists now and it has been working doggedly to reduce the number of humans over the decades, using a variety of approaches (more on that later). An ideal global population of around 500 million people is envisaged. There are 4416 cities in the world with a population of over 150,000. The number 4416 divided into 500,000,000 gives an average of 113,224. Cities will become far more homogenous than they are now and birthrates will be closely controlled so that city populations are maintained at approved levels so that the half billion target in sustained. Cities of between 100,000 and 200,000 inhabitants are much easier to keep supplied with electricity, food and water than some current cities that are 10 and even 100 times more populous. See my earlier blog on Smart Cities for more information on this topic.

The Great Game

I started reading Gideon's Spies: The Secret History of the Mossad by Gordon Thomas but gave up on it. I'd become too depressed by the relentless scheming, deception and treachery employed not just by Mossad but by the intelligence agencies in general. High functioning psychopaths are understandably attracted to work as agents. This article from The New Yorker provides a chilling insight into the extent to which undercover British police have gone in their attempts to infiltrate groups that are identified as hostile to the state. The article details how a British cop slept with four women while undercover, having a long term relationship with two of the women and fathering a child with one. Here is an excerpt:

Last year, after several of the women spoke publicly of their experiences, Bob gave a televised interview to Britain’s Channel 4. He admitted to having slept with a total of four women while undercover. He answered questions in a calm, didactic tone. His affectlessness was confounding—it was difficult to tell whether it sprang from remorse and a desire to accept whatever punishment was due or from a profound lack of empathy. 

It was probably "a profound lack of empathy". Bob is a psychopath. The lesson to be drawn from all of this is that the intelligence agencies continue their attempts to infiltrate supposedly dangerous organisations and damage innocent individuals in the process. To quote again from the article:

The emotional compasses of many of the women have been permanently disoriented by the knowledge that they were unwittingly drawn to undercover spies. While the Met commissioner Bernard Hogan-Howe has acknowledged that sexual relationships between undercover officers and citizens are inappropriate, the department has fought in court to have the tactic upheld as legal. 

Bob had been trying to infiltrate two sinister organisations: London Greenpeace and the animals rights movement. Nowadays, the primary focus is radical Islamist groups. Salman Abedi, the Manchester bomber, was known to intelligence services "up to a point". He had been reported to authorities five times during the past five years. To quote from The Telegraph:

The Manchester suicide bomber was repeatedly flagged to the authorities over his extremist views, but was not stopped by officers, it emerged Wednesday night. Counter Terrorism agencies were facing questions after it emerged Salman Abedi told friends that “being a suicide bomber was okay”, prompting them to call the Government’s anti-terrorism hotline. Sources suggest that authorities were informed of the danger posed by Abedi on at least five separate occasions in the five years prior to the attack on Monday night.  

Any radical Islamist group planning to launch suicide bomb attacks would most likely NOT have approached Salman Abedi precisely because of his publicly outspoken views. Agents in the intelligence community however, would have been attracted to him instantly. Here was a likely patsy that could be exploited at the appropriate time if the situation warranted it. Is it possible that Salman was approached by an agent years ago who pretended to be a jihadist, in the same way as psychopath Bob pretended to interested in animal liberation. This agent then became his handler and maintained contact with him over the years. Such handlers work alone, as psychopath Bob did, and would report directly to one person only, a superior. That person would in turn be accountable to another superior, high up in the chain of command. Only three people would know Salman had been hooked.

For his part, Salman would believe that his handler was a genuine jihadist with links to Al Qaeda, ISIS or the like. His handler would be sure to keep the flames of jihad burning in Salman so that he would not baulk when asked to make the ultimate sacrifice. So why would his handler turn Salman loose at the Manchester arena after supplying him with his bomb or seeing that he had the expertise to make one? Clearly he was told to do so by a superior who in turn was told to do so by a superior. The orders came from high up but why? Simply put: more chaos, more control.

The current British government has made no secret of its desire to exercise more control over its citizens. It wants encryption that it can crack, it wants an Internet that it can control, it wants to regulate what can be said online and everywhere else. It can only do this through fear. When citizens are fearful, they are more likely to agree to the abrogation of their freedoms. The suicide bomber is the perfect tool to generate this atmosphere of fear. He or she can strike anywhere and anytime. No one is safe unless the Government is given more control over every aspect of daily life. It needs to know what's being said in emails, on mobile phone networks, on chats, at the water cooler. In the interests of a safe society, privacy must be sacrificed and limits imposed on what type of information can be disseminated and received.

"Theresa May has declared without hesitation that she would order a nuclear strike to kill hundreds of thousands of people if she thought it was necessary", Source. It's not likely she would hesitate at the sacrifice of a mere 22 people at the Manchester Arena. To be fair, she might have had no idea that a suicide bombing was being orchestrated. She does not have her hands on the real levers of power. Like most politicians, she is a puppet and her strings are being pulled by her puppet masters whoever they might be. With an election looming and no possibility of a Government defeat however, the timing of the bombing could not have been more opportune.

Meanwhile, there are plenty more radical Islamists out there who are being primed by their handlers in the intelligence community for possible deployment. The problem is not radical Islam. The problem is the support and encouragement given to it by hypocritical Western governments who exploit it for their own ends. Israel's and the United State's demonstrated support for radical Islamic groups in the Middle East aims to break apart countries like Iraq and Syria so that they can pose no danger to Israel. Cultivation of individuals like Salman Abedi allow terror to be unleashed at will on a defenceless public in order to further political agendas like increased powers of surveillance and limitations on free speech.

Individuals like Salman Abedi, described as very gullible by some who knew him, are easily recruited and become valued assets of the intelligence community because they can be unleashed in terror attacks or set up as patsies to bear the blame when attacks of a more professional nature need to be carried out. This is the reason that such individuals are known "up to a point" by security agencies and why repeated warnings about their radicalism go unheeded. After being assigned their handlers, they become off-limits to the broader intelligence community and what is done with them afterwards is known to only a very few people within that community.

Somebody as young as the Manchester bomber could be rehabilitated but once the intelligence community has recruited the person, it is only intent on exploitation. This can only happen if the person's existing attitudes are reinforced and this is what is done over a period of months or years. It will be interesting to see, in Salman Adedi's case, if the alleged network of co-conspirators proves to be a reality. Most likely, Salman would have been encouraged to express his jihadist plans to others so that some might be drawn in and later targeted as belonging to a quasi-network of co-conspirators. Such a scenario seems unbelievable and there's no hard evidence to support it, nor is any likely to emerge. In any country, it is to be hoped that the government agencies charged with protecting the citizenry from terror attacks are serious about doing so. But what if they're not? What if they are following a completely different agenda?

Once the publicly stated agenda is queried, there are two responses: one is to dismiss the possibility of an alternative agenda as outrageous, the second is to concede that such an alternative agenda might exist. Reading a book like "Gideon's Spies" inclines one toward a response of the second type. While hard evidence may be lacking, incidents like the Manchester Arena bombing conform to a pattern characterised by:

• a drill simulating a similar type of attack precedes the real attack or may even occur at the same time (with Manchester, a simulation was carried out a month earlier)
• the suspect being known to the intelligence community but not being deemed a high risk (Salman had been reported five times in five years to the authorities but this failed to raise a red flag)
• a lack of video coverage of the actual event or any video coverage being quickly confiscated (in Manchester, there seems very little in the way of photographs or video of the actual bomb epicentre; the police did release supposed CCTV images but the backgrounds were completely blacked out to allegedly protect the identities of people in his vicinity)
• odd coincidences (Drake performing "Gyalchester" the night before the attack at the Music Billboard Awards)
• prominence of certain numbers (the attack took place at 22:35 on the 22nd of May and the attacker was 22 years old): 11 and multiples of 11 are popular)

The more such terror events are studied, the more one accepts that intelligence agencies have a hidden agenda that overrides the publicly stated one and that this agenda is not necessarily shared with the politicians who are in power at the time.
