By blueapples on X

For a while, Elon Musk left a tweet pinned to the top of his X account that read “X as humanity’s collective consciousness.” Although it seemed innocuous, the metaphysical undertones of the message alluded to an underlying influence that categorically shapes the agenda of the ruling elite: esotericism. While the idea of a collective consciousness is often examined through an exoteric lens in which its surface level application on a sociological level is analyzed, the deeper dimensions of the concept give insight into the motives behind what drives the ruling elite.

The power harnessed from that deeper knowledge is evident from the god complex the elitists in the upper-most echelons of society exhibit. In an age of ascending technocracy influencing the fabric of society instilled by the powers that be which govern it, another esoteric concept illustrates not only how they operate but what their ultimate aims are.

That all-enveloping concept is that of the Demiurge. Although the term is rooted in Platonic philosophy, schools of Gnosticism would most heavily influence its development. To the early Christians that would later be labeled by the church as Gnostics to make their iconoclastic beliefs against the ruling ecclesiastic order seen as heresy, the creator of the material universe was not a benevolent figure.

Instead, the flaws of material existence which even mainstream Christianity would come to hold as being the force creating sin and evil were the byproduct of a malevolent creator. In its role as the creator of the material realm, the Demiurge was subordinate to a supreme creator whose omnipotence shaped being beyond the realms of finite human perception all but entirely shaped by the tangible world.

Though subordinate to a higher power, the Demiurge held domain over his material creation. That dynamic parallels the manner in which the ruling elite govern the world as they seek to reshape humanity in their own image, mirroring the Gnostic conception of creation. In this epoch of humanity, nothing is more analogous to the role of the Demiurge than the growing influence of technocracy.

One of many means by the technocratic elite employ to achieve their aims is the use biotechnological innovations meant to change the fabric of society and reshape the very foundations of humanity in their image. As it was written in Genesis 1:27, God made mankind in his own image. While that tenet of Christianity is accepted without refutation, its acceptance has alienated its adherents from examining the deeper meaning of the text which give further credence to the beliefs that the elite build their god complex on. In the verse immediately before Genesis 1:27, a different picture of how mankind was created is given. Although its difference to Genesis 1:27 is only slightly nuanced, it raises doubt about the dominant Christian belief of a single creator. Genesis 1:26 reads:

“Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

The use of the word ‘our’ is one of many instances of the application of the plural form of the Hebrew word ‘elohim’, meaning god(s) depending on the verbiage it is paired with. Although whether or not the word is appropriately used in its plural form is a point of debate for theologians, linguists, and the like, one prevailing school of thought is that its usage in the Old Testament and elsewhere does indeed imply that the existence of a plurality of gods within the constraints of the religion.

The 12th century rabbinical scholar Maimonides, one of the most influential scholars of the Torah wrote that the use of the word not only referred to a plurality of gods but expounded upon how the elohim were divine beings who occupied the seventh of ten ranks in the hierarchy of Jewish angelology. The most often analyzed example of the use of the plural form of the word comes from Genesis 3:22 “And the Lord God said, ‘The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil.'” In that verse, the god believed to be YHWH is speaking to the figure of the serpent, who had tempted Adam and Eve to eat from the Tree Of Knowledge. The same imagery of a serpent is prominently featured in the illustration of Yaldebaoth, the Gnostic name of the entity who is the Demiurge.

The figure of Yaldeboath features across various Gnostic texts, including the Pistis Sophia which recounts its creation and subsequent generation of the material universe and mankind, as well as the Apocryphon Of John in which Yaldabaoth is one of three names given to the Demiurge with the others being Saklas and Samael. In the Talmud, the foundational authority of Rabbinical Judaism, Samael is known as the magistrate in the court of the Kingdom Of Heaven. In that subordinate role to God, Samael is tasked with judging the souls of men and as such gains the name ‘the accuser’ for the accusations he brings against their sins.

The title of ‘the accuser’ along with the word ‘adversary’ became translated as ‘ha-Satan’, with the prefix ‘ha’ indicating a divine form opposed to the word simply translated as ‘satan’ meaning adversary. Being bestowed this title led many to consider Samael as the serpent in the Book Of Genesis as his temptation of Adam and Eve was not an act of evil but a directive given to him by God in order to judge the righteousness of the creation of man. In turn, the interchangeability of the names Samael and Yaldabaoth across different schools of Gnosticism is the foundation of the belief that Satan is the creator of the material universe and thus the Demiurge. This is further evidenced by other Gnostic texts that equate Yaldaboath to the Roman god Saturn as well as the apocryphal works of the Gopsel Of Judas and the Hypostasis Of The Archons which both illustrate Yaldabaoth as a rebellious angel cast down from the heavens.

What makes the plural usage of the word ‘elohim’ so integral to the esoteric thought influencing the ruling elite is that it is the foundation of their belief that man can somehow ascend to the status of a god. No more is this evident than in the example of the Yale-based secret society Skull And Bones. The secret society is rife with symbolism alluding to Genesis 3:22, even recognizing the name Order 322 as one of its alternative title. The use of the allusion to Genesis 3:22 is most prominently featured on the esoteric order’s own emblem.

Since its founding in 1832 by students William Huntington Russell and Alphonso Taft, members of Skull And Bones have risen to some of the highest ranks in industry and politics in the United States, highlighting the presence of adherents of esoteric orders in the ruling elite. Alphonso Taft was the father of future US President and Chief Justice Of The Supreme Court William Howard Taft. In the 2024 Presidential Election, the two candidates George W. Bush and John Kerry were alumnus of Skull And Bones, a point astutely addressed by the late Tim Russert who raised the point with both the Democratic and Republican nominees in his capacity as the host of Meet The Press. Russert would die 4 years later in 2008.

Though it was shielded more carefully in days of old, the aspiration to ascend to the status of a godlike being shared by the vanguard of technocracy has become more visible in recent years. While the esoteric term ‘occult’ means to be hidden, the Demiurgian aims of the technocratic elite has become more apparent thanks in part due to supranational NGOs like the World Economic Forum.

Perhaps the most prominent of this ilk is the Israeli author Yuval Harari. His works Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind (2011), Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow (2016), 21 Lessons for the 21st Century (2018), and Nexus (2024) explore how biotechnological innovation is posed to be the catalyst for the next stage of human evolution. However, unlike evolution arising out of the natural order of life, Harari postulates that the technocratically instilled deterministic forces of humanity’s evolution will lead to a class of human beings who surpass others in mankind. According to Harari, “Homo sapiens as we know them will probably disappear within a century or so, not destroyed by killer robots or things like that, but changed and upgraded with biotechnology and artificial intelligence into something else, into something different.”

Harari has featured as a speaker for the WEF multiple times. Despite being featured for his theories on mankind’s future under the influence of biotechnological advancements, Harari is far from the only technocrat to take center stage in Davos.

The technocratic elite are ubiquitous across not just the WEF but other organizations whose pervasive influence has become more influential over leaders of nation-states throughout the world. By infiltrating governments worldwide and subjugating the autonomy of countries and the democratic recourse of their people against this dystopian vision for the future, the trajectory of history driving toward an epoch in which the technocratic elite may rule mankind as if they were gods is poised to occur sooner rather than later.

While the technocrats like Klaus Schwab, Yuval Harari, and Bill Gates are viewed as malevolent forces guiding mankind down this course of history, they share the same endgame of Elon Musk in many regards. While supporters of Musk see him as diametrically opposed to the likes of the WEF-axis of the technocratic elite, their affinity for him may be clouding their judgment.

Musk’s self-avowed goal of using X to serve as a digitized collective consciousness is motivated by esoteric philosophy as it draws clear parallels to the concept of the Askashic Records. This concept was put forward by the spiritual medium and founder of the Theosophical Society, Helena Blavatsky.

In many respects, Blavatsky is the matriarch of the New Age Movement that has assimilated the esoteric teachings of a forgone age into modernity. She put forward the concept of the Akashic Records as a compendium of all the thoughts, events, emotions, and intent throughout the whole of existence and time. Blavatsky drew upon the teachings she channeled from the ascetic Aryan adepts of the Great White Brotherhood. She drew from their teachings by choosing the Sankrit word ‘akasha’, meaning aether, to give a name to the concept.

The Sankrit word ‘akasha’ is also a homophone of the word ‘acacia’ which is a plant featured in the initial ritual for initiation into Freemasonry, symbolizing gnosis or godly knowledge. The symbolism of the word is derived from a tale in which a sprig of the plant is used to mark the burial mound of Chiram Abiff, the Phoenician architect sent to Jerusalem by King Hiram I of Tyre, who sent him to Jerusalem in order to build Solomon’s Temple as his understanding of gnosis made him uniquely capable of achieving. The Masonic ritual is meant to imbue the importance of guarding the secrets that initiates to the rite are entrusted with being stewards of.

While Musk’s tweet may not seem to draw heavily upon these elements, a holistic view of his endeavors illustrates the aims he shares with other technocratic elitists whose motives are undoubtedly shaped by esoteric influences. The most prominent of these endeavors is Neuralink. As it enters into higher stages of clinical trials, Neuralink is poised to reshape the inner machinations of the human mind.

While the brain implant is being marketed for its medical applications, those are undoubtedly not the full extent of its potential. If brain implants like Neuralink were to be ubiquitous across the whole of humanity, they would theoretically serve as the agent which drives the creation of a digital version of the Akashic Records.

Neuralink is not the sole endeavor of Musk’s that shares these esoteric undertones either. SpaceX chiefly exists as the means by which Musk hopes to achieve his ultimate aim of making human life interplanetary. That mission is embodied by his ultimate goal of creating a human settlement on Mars. However, Musk is not the only rocket scientist whose fascination with Mars fueled his work.

Jack Parsons, the founder of Jet Propulsion Laboratory was renowned for his contributions to aeronautics. Parsons invented the first rocket engine to use composite rocket propellants. Other contributions of his to the field of rocket science were fundamental to the early achievements of NASA, which assimilated JPL into it as its first contractor following Parsons’ mysterious death in 1952.

The enigmatic demise of Parsons was the conclusion of a life shrouded in mystery. Parson’s posthumous legacy as one of the most influential rocket scientists in history the esoteric motives that drove him to achieve what he had.

Throughout his life, Parsons had been fascinated by esoteric studies. It is rumored that he even began many test launches of his rockets by performing a ritual invoking the Greek deity Pan. His interest in the occult would lead to him forming relationships with Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard as well as the infamous occulist and ceremonial magician Aleister Crowley. Parsons’ became a high ranking members of the Ordo Templi Orientis, a para-Masonic order headed by Crowley. He also became one of the most influential adherents of Crowley’s novel religion of Thelema.

In 1946, Parsons and Hubbard engaged in a ritual referred to as the Babalon Working put forward in Crowley’s 1929 novel Moonchild in an effort to invoke the eponymous Thelemic deity. Following the ritual, Persons would become disenfranchised by Thelema after his wife left him for Hubbard. She and Hubbard subsequently went on to defraud Parsons of his life savings, prompting him to resign from the OTO despite Crowley entrusting him to head its principle lodge in California in 1942.

Parson’s infatuation with the occult ultimately led to his demise as it didn’t just cost him his life savings but his livelihood in the field of aeronautics. In 1944, he was forced out of JPL and his other company Aerojet due to his affiliation with the OTO. Those connections also led to him being a political target during the McCarthy era as Crowley and Parsons alike were loosely affiliated with Marxist movements.

This left Parsons unable to work in the rocket science industry in the US, relying on a consulting role with Israel’s rocket program as one of the only sources of his income before he would ultimately die in a home laboratory explosion which was been steeped in unresolved speculation as to whether or not he was murdered to this day.

While Parson’s untimely demise saw him die at just 37 years old, his influence lived on. One of his contemporaries, former Nazi rocket scientist brought to the US by the CIA through Operation Paperclip, Werner von Braun, was one of many influenced by Parsons’ work. During his contributions to NASA’s space program, von Braun wrote a novel titled Project Mars: A Technical Tale in 1949 while he was stationed at Fort Bliss in New Mexico. The work of fiction was set during the first human mission to Mars in the 1980s.

The humans leading the expedition to Mars in von Braun’s novel make contact with humanoid Martians bearing a strikingly resemblance to an entity Crowley had encountered whose government was run by a council of ten, the head of which was referred to by their title of “the Elon.” Although von Braun’s novel wasn’t published until 2006 due to 18 different publishers rejecting it due to his history as a Nazi, its technical appendix written in 1952 was published in 1953.

The novel serves as somewhat of a template for the history that could be made if Musk is able to achieve his ultimate aim of colonizing Mars. If he is able to do so, the progression of humanity from Earth to Mars would undoubtedly thrust Musk into godlike status. That potential chain of events doesn’t just parallel von Braun’s novel but also has echoes of the Mesopotamian creation myth chronicled in the Book of Enki. The Sumerian concept of extraterrestrial intervention being the impetus of human creation is chronicled in the works of author Zecharia Sitchin.

Throughout his career, Sitchin analyzed this theme in Sumerian culture. Sitchin’s focus would hone in on the Anunnaki, a pantheon of eight deities who like the Demiurge had domain over planet Earth. Sitchin theorized that the Anunnaki were actually an advanced humanoid extraterrestrial species whose interplanetary travels brought them to Earth and whose influence accelerated the development of human civilization, a theme that resonates in von Braun’s work about humanity colonizing Mars and Elon Musk’s desire to do so in reality.

Werner von Braun was not the only Nazi to be influenced by esoteric concepts like the Anunnaki. Nazism itself rose out of the influence of esotericism on the elite. The foundation of that historical progression was rooted in the nationalist movement that swept across Europe in the late 19th century which were fomented by Freemasonry. Central figures of the Italian Risogimento which led to the unification of Italy were members of esoteric orders.

Giuseppe Mazzini and Giuseppe Garibaldi were at the forefront of that movement and both were Freemasons. Garibaldi would go on to found the Masonic Rite Of Memphis-Mizraim. The leadership of the Rite Of Memphis-Mizraim eventually fell into the hands of a German-axis of occultists, notably Carl Kellner and Theodor Reuss. Reuss was the last Grand Hierophant of the rite. He also was the founder of the Ordo Templi Orientis. While Aleister Crowley is the person who is remembered for the OTO, he usurped the para-Masonic secret society from Reuss.

The OTO wasn’t the only byproduct of the Rite Of Memphis-Mizraim that had the fruits of its labor manifest in an esoteric influence on the ruling elite determining the course of history. An offshoot of the rite more relevant to that historical materialism was the Thule Society. It was founded by a mason within the Rite of Memphis-Mizraim named Rudolph von Sebottendorf.

Ultimately, its members would create the National Socialist German Workers Party. Adolf Hitler, Heinrich Himmler, and Rudolf Heß were just a few of the founding members of the NSDAP to be members of the Thule Society. Although Hitler gravitated to the political dimension of the society’s aims, Himmler and Heß maintained their fascination with the esoteric and occult for the remainder their lives. Heß’s decision to fly to Britain to negotiate a secret piece was prompted by his astrological readings. As head of the SS, Himmler would found a division within it dedicated to exploration of the occult named the Ahnenerbe. The SS insignia itself is taken from the Armanen Runes channeled by the German Volkisch occultist Guido von List. Although the Thule Society is often credit for being the first group in the Volkisch Movement that overtook Germany at the turn of the 20th century leading to the rise of Aryan supremacy to revitalize the swatzika, that credit should rightfully be recognized as being done by Jörg Lans von Liebenfels, who incorporated a swatzika into the heraldry and vexilography of the Order Of The New Templars nearly a quarter of a century earlier in 1900.

Although members of the Nazi Party would distance themselves from von List and von Liebenfels, their development of Ariosophy was crucial to the dawn of the Volkisch movement in Germany. The Order Of The New Templars was created in an effort to instill a desire for a fascist state in the German zeitgeist. Ariosophy itself was a vestige of the influence of Theosophy. The secret order was a precursor to the Thule Society which served as a model for how esoteric orders would influence the political climates of nations in order to install a ruling elite under their influence.

Following the conclusion of the Second World War, the overt fanaticism that was used by esoteric orders to shape society took a much more covert approach. Instead of radical populist movements, the elite turned to more exclusive organizations including NGOs, PIRGs, and the like such as the Bilderberg Group, Club Of Rome, and World Economic Forum. Although this new approach was much more sterilized than that which drove the rise of fascism in the early 20th century, each of those groups also sought to advance the agenda of an elite ruling class like its predecessors influence by esoteric order had. Technocracy simply replaced overtly esoteric philosophies as the foundation of what drove these new political vehicles.

Despite the evolution of this tactic, the ultimate aim of the technocratic elite ultimately still shares an important commonality with the esoteric influences that drew upon the concept of the Demiurge. Just like the process detailed in the Gnostic tradition, the aims of the technocratic elite to create a the world in their image are confined to the material realm. Gnosticism teaches that the inherent flaws of the material existence fashioned by Yaldabaoth are what created the strife that plagues mankind.

Unlike a supreme creator, the creation of the realm the Demiurge holds domain over is made through material and not ethereal means and as such cannot escape imperfection and the woe that manifests from it. Those imperfections of material existence that serve as the foundation for evil are even more pronounced in the technocratic Demiurge of this age. Yet unlike the apocryphal texts of the Gnostics that were made verboten by the church by being labelled as works of heresy, the reality of the aims of the technocratic elite of this epoch is impossible to dismiss.

Ironically, the push toward carbon-rationing and CBDCs is based on the same insight by sound money advocates: Fiat is worthless.

Let me tell you a parable about value. It’s about how the “thing” that everybody assumes has value can change over time, and by the time it changes, people have completely lost touch with the original measure of value.

In the early 00’s, easyDNS was getting ready to move our servers out of our physical office and into an actual data colocation center in downtown Toronto.

When we got our first cabinet, we were billed in terms of how much rackspace we were using, and what our bandwidth consumption was. In those days, the servers were trying to pack themselves into smaller enclosures and compress the data payloads to reduce bandwidth. There were 2U boxes, the bleeding edge stuff coming out was 1U, and if you were a dinosaur from late-90’s, you might have some legacy 4U servers, which were costing you a fortune to rack.

What was missing from that equation?

Power. There were no power costs, or if there were, they were negligible to the point where I can’t even remember having them. The power costs were just built into the price of the rackspace and bandwidth.

Fast forward 20 years, and it’s inverted completely. The number one cost when you provision new cabinet space these days is typically your power commit. Then bandwidth and transport. Now the rackspace is practically a throw-in. In many cases, what people think of as “servers” today are just virtualized images that don’t even take up any physical space.

What changed? The world did.

Who cares? Mostly nobody.

What I mean by this, is nobody thought that switching to charging for power consumption instead of rackspace was a big deal. The overall economics of the space changed, and as a result so did the pricing model. In other words, the underlying value commodity switched from Thing A (physical space) to Thing B (power). Other than adapting to it, nobody really cared.

The same thing happened with “money” -and it’s about to happen again

Money used to be backed by gold (Thing A) and then by a national currency exchangeable for gold (Thing B). In practical day-to-day terms, most people didn’t care and continued to use whatever they had in their wallets for currency.  Thing B even became the global reserve currency.

Then in 1971, it switched again and that reserve currency could no longer be exchanged for gold (Thing A) while Thing B would henceforth be …nothing. It was supposed to be temporary. 

People continued to use the reserve currency to denominate exchange and found that using nothing to back the value of the currency actually made life better, for awhile. At least for those who were in close proximity to the people who were able to mint more of this new “nothing money” out of thin air (they’ve come to be known as Cantillionaires).

Since all the other currencies were backed by the reigning reserve currency, this meant that they were now all backed by Thing B as well. And Thing B was nothing.

There were people who sounded the alarm that the the new Thing B (nothingness) was unsuitable for backing a currency, let alone a global reserve asset. Over time, they warned, it would create ever-increasing wealth inequality, blow up serial asset bubbles followed by ever worsening financial crises and probably end in a hyper-inflationary blow off.

They were dismissed as cranks and conspiracy theorists. In more recent times, right-wing extremists or Kremlin stooges.

Even so, as ignorant and retrograde as these people were and still are, today even mainstream commentators and anointed experts realize we’ve more-or-less run out of runway for having a global reserve currency backed by nothingness.

The fiat currency era is essentially over.

Goldbugs knew it wouldn’t last and invested in gold for centuries. They still do today. Now there is also Bitcoin, which captures the same mechanism: in this case using energy to back currency.

But globalists and central bankers are in a conundrum.

There is the realization that the fiat era, backing money with nothing is about to hit the wall.

But even central bankers know they can’t print energy out of thin air.  It would render Cantillionism obsolete overnight, and we can’t have that.

What is needed is some basis to backstop that currency that has some kind of value, a perceived scarcity or cap attached to it, in order to reestablish faith and legitimacy in the “money”. Further, it needs to be something that can be controlled and distributed from within the central bank / state mechanism – it must be entirely outside the influence of market forces.

Finally, it has to have an ideological pillar that can be used to shape public opinion around its acceptance.

The New Thing B is Carbon

The last legs of the failing monetary system will see another of these transitions where the value medium shifts from Thing A to Thing B.

There will at least be an attempt to implement one. Whether they get it out the door before  the monetary end-game plays out remains to be seen.  The destruction of the current system has been so accelerated by the ubiquitous mishandling of the Covid pandemic by policy-makers that the current system may come off the rails entirely before a new one can be implemented (subscribers of my premium newsletter have been getting our coverage on CBDCs and how far behind the curve nation states and central banks are in actually developing them. This why I think, ultimately, they try to go with something that already exists, like WEFereum Ethereum).

But the plan from on high is that we will go from pricing goods and services based on their input costs of production and distribution (Thing A), to pricing privileges and consumption based on their perceived carbon emissions (Thing B).

We’ve all seen the latest think piece out of the World Economic Forum, characteristically shrouded in their benevolent-sounding euphemisms, pushing for individual carbon rations and justifying it that because the world’s population sat still for, and complied with, global lockdowns. They suggest that the plebes are ready to accept having their individual carbon footprints metered by unelected bureaucrats and opaque AI-driven algos.

Inclusivity of citizens is becoming the most important element of success or failure in the journey towards sustainability. Community-led initiatives can make a significant contribution towards sustainability, increase resilience and social cohesion. There have been numerous examples of personal carbon allowance programs in discussions for the last two decades, however they had limited success due to a lack of social acceptance, political resistance, and a lack of awareness and fair mechanism for tracking “My Carbon” emissions.

The WEF piece linked to a 2021 paper by Nature that mapped out Personal Carbon Allowances, and the impetus to define one’s  “fair share” of carbon emissions and the “setting of acceptable levels of carbon emissions”.

When you set aside (for a moment) the totalitarian implications of this,  it does make a certain amount of sense. In its own way, it proves the point that hard money advocates have been making for decades, if not centuries: fiat money is valueless.

Beneath all this climate alarmism driving the move to carbon rationing, there lies an implicit admission, conscious or not, that for money to be viable it has to denominate an economic trade-off.

You cannot print value ex-nihilo. In so doing these last 50 years (since the commencement of the fiat era in earnest), we’ve gotten to a world where the price of capital – and thus, time, if you read Edward Chancellor’s latest book (and you should) – is nominally zero, which collides with the reality of the finite (or with the laws of physics – as somebody like Doomberg would say).

The central bankers of the world made one big divide-by-zero error, and the result is what we actually see playing out across many dimensions, right now. Bitcoin and the coming CBDCs are both reacting to the same thing, but what’s different about them is who would be served by the adoption of one mechanism over the other.

What’s important to understand is that, similar to the Cantillion Effect, when the underpinnings of a monetary system transition from Thing A to Thing B, the outcomes are non-neutral. One example of this is the Gini Coefficient, which is a measure of wealth inequality.

In the chart below via @WTF_1971 we see how after a period of secular decline under the Bretton Woods system, it suddenly reversed and blasts off right at the inflection point where the global monetary system abandoned its last link to hard money (Thing A) and the fiat era began (Thing B).

Via @WTF_1971

All indications are that the coming CBDCs will be carbon-based, social credit schemes, and they are being promoted and implemented by the same vested interests who profited and consolidated unimaginable wealth throughout the prior 50 years of the fiat era – the Cantillionaires.

This path is ultimately doomed, because as I frequently point out, it seeks to extend an industrial era worldview (top down, centrally planned and linear), onto a new architecture: one that is decentralized, self- organizing, adaptive and non-linear.

Because it’s one iteration behind in the level of mental abstraction, it’s like breeding faster horses in an era of cars. No matter how good you get at it, you’re still playing the game on an obsolete playing field and will ultimately be unable to compete on the new one (if you’re wondering why I frequently reference the level of mental abstraction as being such a game changer that ensures the eventual supremacy of networks over nations, I refer you to a relatively obscure book by W R Clement called “Quantum Jump: A Survival Guide For the New Renaissance“).

The only advice I can offer for navigating the coming transition is to be as financially independent and resilient as possible. Do not allow yourself to become reliant on government entitlements and if you are now, figure out a way to end that reliance immediately. That these systems will become tightly coupled with CBDCs and carbon footprint rationing is a foregone conclusion.

You’re going to have to be ready for at least a transitionary period where the lifestyle choices you take for granted today will be priced in terms of carbon credits in the future. If you are reliant on government entitlements, get used to eating plant-based protein patties. If you aren’t, get ready to have to pay more for those Wagyu burgers. A lot more.

Hold as much of your wealth outside of the state run banking system as possible. Bitcoin (off the exchanges, I also like Monero), hold gold, silver, and own cash-flow producing businesses, and multiple revenue streams. If you have a job, start a business on the side. If you own a business, start another one.

Start connecting with people and tribes who are opting out of the current system, because the one we’re in now is either going to come off the rails entirely or try to go full CCP in the near-term.

The folks at The World Economic Forum, led by Klaus Schwab, never tire of “reimagining” everything. From food chains, digital identity, healthcare, even reimagining capitalism itself, everything seems to be on the table. Our betters at Davos have taken it upon themselves to make every aspect of our lives fair game for being reimagined, reconstituted, recalibrated, reordered and reset. Always along top-down technocratic lines they dream up at their exclusive, invite-only confabs.

I don’t know about you, but I can’t remember asking nor empowering anybody else to reimagine my own life. I figure that’s my job. Shouldn’t we tell these guys not to worry about it – “We’ve got this” ?

They seem undaunted and proceed to reorganize the world anyway.

Maybe we should return the favour and reimagine The World Economic Forum and the self-appointed elites who populate its ranks…

Reimagining Klaus Schwab

Herr Schwab makes it hard not to imagine him as a SPECTRE-ish super villain straight out of a James Bond flick:

But that’s not re-imagining him. To re-imagine means to change, transform, turn something that is into something it isn’t because you prefer it that way.

So if we were to reimagine Klaus Schwab then perhaps we could start at the beginning, with Klaus Schwab’s father, Eugen Schwab who was a military industrial contractor to the Nazi regime during world war 2.

According to investigative reporter Whitney Webb, the elder Schwab:

“led the Nazi-supported German branch of a Swiss engineering firm into the war as a prominent military contractor. “

That company, Escher-Wyss, used slave labour in Nazi efforts to develop an atom bomb. Years later, when Schwab sat on the board of directors, he approved an initiative to help the Apartheid era government of South Africa in their pursuit of an a-bomb.

In this era of open talk about reparations, perhaps reimagining Klaus Schwab could prescribe that the World Economic Forum pay reparations to descendants of Nazi-era slave labour (concentration camps) and for their part in reinforcing Apartheid in South Africa.

Finally, given that Schwab was a protege of Henry Kissinger, who is considered by some to be a war criminal in his machinations toward multiple countries around the world; perhaps reimagining Klaus Schwab should also include some manner of Truth and Reconciliation process toward the countries and populations to which Schwab’s intellectual mentor inflicted so much pain and suffering.

Reimagining Carbon Footprints of The Elite

That the climate crisis requires a massive reordering of all our lives seems to have been already decided. When see some of the various pronouncements coming out of the myriad climate conclaves, including Davos, you’ll see they’re pushing for:

If one were to reimagine the World Economic Forum in terms of showing leadership and resolve for this ostensibly unprecedented crisis, then the logical and noble move would be to eliminate the most carbon intensive forms of travel and conspicuous consumption first.

Private jets and super-yachts would have to go, immediately, and with no exceptions. Private jets could be melted down for scrap metal and reused, as per the UK Fires memo on Absolute Zero 2050. All super-yachts could be permanently moored in third-world nations and repurposed as low income housing.

As of 2016 there were an estimated 10,000 super-yachts (over 28 meters) in the world, with 150 more being built every year. If a single super-yacht could be upzoned to house 50 low income families, we could provide permanent shelter for 500,000 families globally. Everybody needs a home, nobody needs a super-yacht. By re-contextualizing yacht and private jet ownership we can ameliorate the housing shortage in a carbon-neutral manner.

All Davos meetings and super-summits could be held via remote video conference from this day forward, which would further reduce carbon footprints of holding such meetings.

Finally, any Davos or WEF attendee who endorses or promotes action plans emanating from these proceedings should be legally bound to bringing their own consumption patterns in conformance to the recommendations, even before any such recommendations become policy.

That would mean: getting rid of internal combustion vehicles, private jets, yachts, second, third, forth, fifth or sixth residences, and stop eating meat.

Reimagining CBDCs and Social Credit

Make no mistake Central Bank Digital Currencies will be the lubricant for which WEF inspired social credit programs are implemented.

WEF talking points always include politically correct buzzwords like “inclusion”, “diversity” and “empowerment”, so what better way to reimagine CBDCs than to pivot the entire conversation toward a global, neutral digital currency that already exists and has no barriers to entry for anybody in the world?

I am of course talking about Bitcoin, which exists now and already ticks all of the inclusion, diversity and empowerment boxes. Even better, it provides absolute inalienable rights to those who hold it, who could argue with that?

Reimagining Constitutionally Enshrined Human Rights

Speaking of human rights, the Davos crowd always pays them lip service in everything they do. The latest Schwab book “The Great Narrative” formally endorses the human rights as laid on in the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights:

one all-encompassing value framework has been ratified by the 193 Members States of the United Nations: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.135 Its 30 articles detailing an individual’s “basic rights and fundamental freedoms” and affirming their universal character as “inherent, inalienable and applicable to all human beings

form the bedrock of a universal value system. This book embraces humanistic values that unequivocally prioritize freedom, human dignity and a quest for the common good.”

So let’s look at what those universal human rights actually are. If we look at the UN declaration of Human Rights, particularly Articles 12:

No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.

Article 13:

  1. Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each state.
  2. Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country.

Article 17:

  1. Everyone has the right to own property alone as well as in association with others.
  2. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his property.

Article 18:

Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.

Article 19:

Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.

Then in reimagining the WEF we could posit them enforcing these globally ratified rights on their own membership and exclude or banish heads of state from any country that violated these rights over the past few years of lockdowns: namely Canada, Australia, the United States, the UK, almost every Eurozone country and any other nation that locked down their population, forced vaccinations, deplatformed dissenters or espoused the redistribution of wealth (property) in any way.

Reimagining “The Great Reset Fourth Industrial Revolution Grand(iose) Narrative”

Reimagining other people’s lives is fun. Once you have everything all figured out for everybody else it can be hard to understand why anybody would resist it. We’ve clearly laid out an inclusive, restorative, empowering set of principles for the Party of Davos to live by, so why won’t they do it?

They won’t do what we reimagine for them, naturally, so how come it feels like there’s a certain expectation that we’ll subserviently comply whenever they want to “re-contextualize” our basic rights?

The reality is nobody has any moral authority to reimagine anybody’s life but their own. That’s actually the objective point of the entire UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Thinking that one big super-brain or council of wise-persons can figure out the best way for over 8 billion independent minds and bodies to live is beyond imagination, it is pure delusion.

The main downside is by believing it is so, they cause a lot of damage. This technocratic mindset is what writes the pages of history: a small cadre of self-appointed elites think they have it all figured out, and then whammo – inflation, wealth inequality, civil breakdown, economic ruin and tyranny. Trying to control the outcome for all effectively bakes-in the chaos.

There is really only one thing anybody can control, which is their own reaction to whatever happens to them. That’s it. But it takes an act humility to realize that. For the Davos crowd, humility is a liability.

Fortunately there is another narrative rising: the decentralized revolution narrative. It’s the freedom to act unilaterally regardless of what anybody else thinks, and doing so without violating anybody else’s rights to do the same. This gives rise to a noble alchemy, a positive feedback loop.

It is the basis from which free markets and capitalism itself are born. It’s what launched the Reformation, the Enlightenment, the Renaissance and the Industrial and Information revolutions.

We can set up an agreed upon set of rules of what all 8 billion of us can’t do to each other. We have those kinds of rules already, handed down throughout the generations. But we can’t decide what anybody else should do without inducing them through a mutually agreed upon exchange of value.

The World Economic Forum is a last gasp of industrial age, late stage globalism. They may exert undue influence now, but it may have already passed its zenith.

Reimagine Yourself

Given that the Davos crew won’t have themselves reimagined, especially by us plebes, what we can do is really the only thing practical within the confines of incarnate reality: we can reimagine ourselves.

In my previous post about protecting oneself from “Davos Man”, I quoted Neville Goddard, one of the preeminent thinkers from the Golden Age of New Thought. His books “Awakened Imagination” and “The Power of Awareness” provide the antidote against those who would cast your life in their own mind’s image (the Tarcher reprint edition has them both)

Here is the secret that those who would rule over others don’t want you to know: It’s that imagination is an actual super-power. One bestowed on all of us.

Imagination is the very gateway of reality. “Man,” said Blake, “is either the ark of God or a phantom of the earth and of the water.” “Naturally he is only a natural organ subject to Sense.” “The Eternal Body of Man is The Imagination: that is God himself, The Divine Body. Jesus: we are his Members.”

I know of no greater and truer definition of the Imagination than that of Blake. By imagination we have the power to be anything we desire to be. Through imagination we disarm and transform the violence of the world. Our most intimate as well as our most casual relationships become imaginative as we awaken to “the mystery hid from the ages,” that Christ in us is our imagination. We then realize that only as we live by imagination can we truly be said to live at all

It’s curious that Schwab and company frequently use that word “re-imagine“. Once you understand the true power of imagination, as described by Goddard, that it encapsulates the underlying creative power of the universe, then the act of re-imagining another’s life is a type of predation. It is vampirism, both economic and spiritual. At scale it manifests as mass formation psychosis.

The Party at Davos (more like a coven, perhaps) would have you believe that power is  theirs, they are literally Priests of the Temple  in the church of Late Stage Globalism.

But the reality is that everybody has this superpower. If you use yours, you ordain your own destiny. If enough people take control of their own psychic and mental temple, the one within, then the rulers of the darkness of this world lose their power.

Without actively taking charge of your own thoughts and goals, your entire life will be something that just happens to you. When you are pursuing your own ideals and controlling your own thoughts you are expressing the universal life force in your own unique way. That doesn’t mean you are able to “command reality”, which is actually what the Davos crowd is attempting.

But what goals and aspirations you do attain will be in spite of what the Klaus Schwab’s, the Party of Davos and the World Economic Forum think you should do, instead of what they permit you to do.

If enough people do this: take the command of their own destinies, become as Sovereign Individuals, live in pursuit of their own goals and aspirations, then it won’t really matter what external groups from a waning era think.

(Note: To be clear, this tweet comes from a fake Klaus Schwab account. But the book I quote from is the real deal)

Well, here’s hoping that World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab’s twitter was hacked by somebody from 4chan, ’cause if this is for real, it’s really hard not to subscribe to Great Reset conspiracy theories.

Schwab, of course is the founder of the World Economic Forum, where the world’s wealthiest elites meet at Davos each year to reimagine your future.

This year’s theme was The Great Reset. Schwab also wrote book by that same title. One part manifesto, one part think piece on the way Covid has changed the world forever that came out in June. My copy arrived today and I started forcing myself to read it this aft and I was planning to write up a more comprehensive review (subscribe here to get it when that’s done).

In it Schwab opines that The New Normal will

provoke changes that would have seemed inconceivable before the pandemic struck, such as new forms of monetary policy like helicopter money (already a given), the reconsideration/recalibration of some of our social priorities and augmented search for the common good as a policy objective, the notion of fairness acquiring political potency, radical welfare and taxation measures, and drastic geopolitical realignments.

The broader point is this: the possibilities for change and the resulting new order are now unlimited and only bound by our imagination, for better or for worse. Societies could be poised to become either more egalitarian or more authoritarian, or geared towards more solidarity or more individualism, favouring the interests of the few or the many…

you get the point: we should take advantage of this unprecedented opportunity to reimagine our world, in a bid to make it a better and more resilient one as it emerges on the other side of this crisis.

It’s a telling passage, one that boils down to “never let a good crisis go to waste”, and which clearly highlights collective solidarity as the preferred outcome than suffering “more individualism”.

Earlier passages make clear that COVID is not the existential threat in of itself acknowledging that “Even in the worst-case horrendous scenario, COVID-19 will kill far fewer people than the Great Plagues, including the Black Deaths, or World War II did”, but that is has “the potential to be a transformative crisis”.

When I saw the tweet I thought it had to be faked, especially since Biden isn’t even officially the president-elect yet and here’s this guy talking about impeding food shortages, famine, and mandatory vaccinations in exchange for soy rations. The insect emoji is really what has me convinced this is the work of some epic hacking troll.

Here’s hoping.

That tweet is archived here (Twitter has since suspended the account) but as I mentioned at the top of the post,  that this is from a fake (albeit brilliant!) Klaus Schwab parody account (and my Twitter is @stuntpope if you want to follow me there).
