"Here are some insightful excerpts from the article:
"Because spectacle replaces real life with a mere mediated representation of life that cannot be experienced directly, it provides a framework where mass deceptions and lies can consistently and convincingly appear as true.
It has recreated our society without community, and it has obstructed the ability to communicate in general. Such processes and their ramifications ultimately mean people cannot truly experience life for themselves: they have become spectators, bound to an impoverished state of unlife.
In The Society of the Spectacle, Debord explains that the economy subjugating society first presented itself as an 'obvious degradation of being into having,' where human fulfilment was no longer attained through what one was, but instead only through what one had.

Your well written conjectures about the digital tools that global power elites are harnessing to manifest intergenerational dreams of total control are sobering. You challenge the reader on his/her responsibility to human progeny to be alert to a future of feudalism or worse. The statement that BlackRock manages more assets than US, China, & one other economy almost made me fall out of my chair ! I am so upset as I watch my state legislature call a special August election to make Referendums to state laws twice as restrictive. The politicians are enthusiastic about laws OKthat deprive the electorate. Got a light bulb from your article that the underpinning of my perceptions of eroding rights just might be a trickle down from the WEF and other global design groups.
We saw the oldsters from "The Next Generation" blow the Borg out of the water this year. Never forget that those who seek to master others often ignore the laws of unintended circumstsances because their arrogance rules their lives of fear. Nothing based on arrogance survives for long.
Wow, just seen how long this article is. Image of BIS very 'Tower of Babel' !
Do you listen to Jeffrey Prather who interviews Todd Calender, who knows the legal side of the borgification of humans now. Individuals with no rights.
Reading this piece in January 2024 it felt as though a literary psychologist had unloaded the rambling thoughts and impressions from my mind, then collated, polished and edited them into a coherent narrative before popping them back into place. Thank you.
I like your analysis. "Any delays thus far have been due largely to a variety of political, practical and historical obstacles and a lack of the technological means by which to realise it." Yes, they've been "on the verge" of having the technology for a decade now. They think they have it now. But I'm not so sure.
What the globalist have perfected is marketing. Covid was nothing if not a stunningly successful PR campaign. They are not so advanced in technology as they'd like us to think they are: AI, genetic manipulation, brain interfaces; none of these things are delivering. They keep getting frustrated by the failures of these technologies that were supposed to be here by now. In my Substack, I focus on ridiculing their grand claims and pulling the curtain back on the Wizard of Oz.
Having internalized the points from numerous sources you have cited, this is a refreshing read, or reread, since I try not to miss your posts, Greg. By total coincidence, I just made a synoptic comment regarding the outrageous head of the snake — let’s say millipede — you so articulately put forth here — commenting from my own outraged heart on some trivial post today, before reading your masterpiece not 10 minutes later. Providence. I couldn’t agree more. We really do owe so much to Carroll Quigley. Discovering his Tragedy and Hope changed everything. A major signpost on the way to Gotham City. Many thanks for your consolidation of ongoing current events.
According to H G Wells it's all for our own good because we are not capable of deciding our own destiny. We need an enlightened over class to do that for us.
And Aldous Huxley mirrored his sentiments:
"Alpha children wear grey. They work much harder than we do, because they're so frightfully clever. I'm awfully glad I'm a Beta, because I don't work so hard. And then we are much better than the Gammas and Deltas. Gammas are stupid. They all wear green, and Delta children wear khaki. Oh no, I don't want to play with Delta children. And Epsilons are still worse. They're too stupid to be able to read or write. Besides they wear black, which is such a beastly color. I'm so glad I'm a Beta."
Good summary, but maybe you could tone down the writing in your next installments, with simpler sentences and fewer fancy words. In America we have an average IQ of 68 due to dumbing down, wokeism, and widespread censorship supported by people who for some strange reason call themselves "liberals" (NY Times) and "progressives" (Bernie Sanders). We don't understand words like "modicum" or "Yuval".
Greg, it is globalistas. The feminine ending does not make its designees female, just as communistas are both male and female. The obsession with gender is slowly bleeding into Latin culture, eg with such ciphers as Latinxs, where x can be anywhere on the imaginary gender spectrum. The masculine/feminine grammatical origins of Romance languages follow few rules, just as English has few reliable rules. When someone says "No problemo amigo" they are marking themselves out as dumb gringos. Rule: all nouns ending in -ema are masculine, but not all nouns ending in -o are likewise. La mano is one of 2 nouns in Spanish ending in -o, probably because like la foto, it may be an abbreviation (la fotografia, la maniobra, the work of the hands). Indeed some are, dare I say it, transgender. El arte is masculine, but El Museo de Las Bellas Artes is so much sweeter than la arte on our finely attuned ears, notwithstandin the intervening s in the plural.
Europa The Last Battle is the most eye opening historical correction I have watched
Thanks for all your articles et al, I pass them all onwards far and wide.
Keep up the great work, the asleep don't know that they are asleep!

Where does Mr Putin fit in this picture?

Hi Greg. I made my way over from the PWOT group.
I like your analysis. "Any delays thus far have been due largely to a variety of political, practical and historical obstacles and a lack of the technological means by which to realise it." Yes, they've been "on the verge" of having the technology for a decade now. They think they have it now. But I'm not so sure.
