Patrick M. Wood, an author and expert on technocracy, transhumanism, and globalization, presented on “Technocracy is War cry: We will assimilate” as part of a symposium. He began studying globalization, including the Trilateral Commission, in 1980 with Professor Anthony Sutton. His first book on technocracy, “Technocracy Rising,” was published in 2015, following years of study, and he perceived the situation as an “all out war on humanity”. He describes the current conflict as “omniwar,” stating it is “everywhere” and “coming at us from every conceivable angle”.
Definition and Core Concepts of Technocracy Technocracy is defined as “the science of social engineering”. Its primary goal is the “scientific operation of the entire social mechanism to produce and distribute goods and services to the entire population”. This system aims to replace traditional price-based economics, currency, debt, and financiers, with goods and services distributed to citizens “from birth to death” via a “certificate of distribution”. Wood emphasizes that technocracy is a resource-based economic system that uses energy as its accounting system, and it is the “only economic system ever modeled from scratch in the history of the world”. It seeks to eliminate politics, politicians, finance, and racketeers, effectively wanting to replace all political systems.
Historical Origins and Requirements Technocracy was “invented at Columbia University in 1932”. After being “kicked out” of Columbia, the movement continued as Technocracy Incorporated and became “wildly successful” in America and Canada, boasting over 500,000 members. Elon Musk’s grandfather was a technocrat leader in Canada. A 1934 technocracy book outlined seven requirements for the system to work. The first five define what Wood describes as a “total surveillance state”:
- Continuous energy registration: Register “total net conversion of energy” 24 hours a day.
- Balanced energy load: Use energy registration to “make possible a balanced load” for the entire system, a practice now seen in utilities that ration energy “on your back”.
- Inventory of production and consumption: Provide a “continuous inventory of all production and consumption”.
- Specific goods/services registration: Register the “type, kind, etc., of all goods and services where produced and where used”.
- Individual consumption and description: Provide “a specific registration of the consumption of each every each individual, plus a record and description of the individual”. Wood asserts that this is precisely what is occurring today with advanced technology, stating that the definition and purpose of technocracy have not changed since 1934.
Evolution and Globalization of Technocracy Zbigniew Brzezinski’s 1970 book, “Between Two Ages America’s Role and the Technotronic Era,” written while he was a professor at Columbia University, introduced David Rockefeller to technocracy. Brzezinski, a co-founder of the Trilateral Commission, saw Marxism as a “further vital and creative stage” leading to the technocratic era. The Trilateral Commission combined technocracy to create a “global contagion” for this ideology, which was then fed to the United Nations. The UN adopted these doctrines and policies, leading to initiatives like the Rio Earth Summit in 1992 (sustainable development, Agenda 21) and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which Wood describes as “warmed over technocracy from the 1930s”. This doctrine has since “infected every nation on Earth, probably every town on Earth”. Historically, Marxists “hated technocracy with a passion” because technocrats aimed to remove humans from the picture, creating a “hierarchy of scientific dictatorship” run by scientists and engineers, and sought to abolish all political systems, including communism and socialism. Wood suggests that Marxists became “useful idiots” for technocrats over time, and the current concern should be on technocrats, not Marxists. Technocracy has been rebranded over time with names such as the New International Economic Order, Sustainable Development, Agenda 21, 2030 Agenda, Green New Deal, the World Economic Forum, the Great Reset, the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and stakeholder capitalism, all representing the same underlying ideology.
Omniwar and Modern Infiltration The current situation is an “omniwar” waged “in stealth” by an “unseen enemy”. Technocracy is “not ideological” in the political sense, hiding behind any political system, including left-wing, right-wing, conservative, Republican, and even Nazism. Technocrats infiltrate populist movements, viewing them as “easy pickings” because populists seek solutions and sponsors. While populists are people-based and flexible, technocrats are science- and technology-based, mechanistic, and inflexible, ultimately driving out other ideologies. A historical connection exists between IBM and the technocracy movement, both sharing space at Columbia University in 1932. IBM’s Hollerith tabulators (early computers) were leased to Nazi Germany from 1933-1934, concurrent with Technocracy Inc. establishing a German chapter. Technocrats and IBM were “instrumental in helping Hitler” with the extermination of people groups and managing transportation. After World War II, “Operation Paperclip” brought over 1,600 German scientists, engineers, and technicians—many of whom were Nazi Party members who conducted human experiments—to the US for government employment, where they contributed to the military-industrial complex, CIA (e.g., Project MKUltra), and NASA (e.g., Wernher von Braun). The United States is described as having “degenerated into the ideal technocracy”. Technocrats are seen as unelected and unaccountable individuals “pulling the strings” behind politicians in both Democratic and Republican parties. Peter Thiel, founder of surveillance company Palantir, is noted for grooming a current vice-presidential candidate, representing a “significant victory for technocracy” if the ticket succeeds. Artificial intelligence (AI) is identified as the “next wave of assaults,” rapidly scaling (a million times in the past ten years) and requiring massive energy, leading to “techno populism”. This is an “asymmetric warfare” where the nation-state has “no defense” due to a lack of understanding. David Hughes’ book suggests technocracy will be “worse than anything imaginable by Hitler or Stalin” due to bio-digital enslavement, biometric technologies, constant surveillance, central bank digital currencies, and Chinese-style social credit systems.
The Real Agenda and Call to Resistance Wood argues that the “ultimate altruistic goals of utopia” are “fake” and that technocracy cannot deliver on its promises. The real agenda is twofold:
- To “grab all the resources” (land, water, air) and place them into a “global common trust,” evidenced by attacks on property rights.
- To “re-engineer society through a web of control by scientific dictatorship” using “the science of social engineering”. The “omniwar” is expected to “intensify rapidly,” but no effective resistance has yet formed, especially since political parties and populist movements are already “taken over by technocrats”. Wood suggests several ways individuals can resist:
- Refuse to play assigned roles: Reject mandates like wearing masks or social distancing.
- Connect with humanness: Embrace human identity, as technocracy is “anti-human”.
- Gain knowledge: Understand strengths and weaknesses, and apply them.
- Recognize propaganda: Learn to identify propaganda using resources like the “Propaganda: What it is and what you can do about it” brochure.
- Disengage from surveillance technology: Reduce reliance on smartphones and other surveillance tools, possibly using Faraday bags.
- Develop local networks: Build face-to-face friendships and establish local food and goods networks, such as farmers’ markets and barter systems.
- Embrace affection: “Hug your friends and your family” to counteract the “egregious attack on humanity” that shattered relationships during events like Covid.
