The European Union was created by policies and early members of the Trilateral Commission, so it is not surprising that it is called a Technocracy today. Hungary is the only nation that truly understand this, and it is a perceived threat to EU Technocrats.
China is a Technocracy and its actions and appointments continually bear this out. The Communist Youth League is one of the most important political structures in China and is now being led by a recognized Technocrat. One key object of Technocracy is the 'science of social engineering'.
This article casts Patrick Wood as a "conspiracy theory propagandist" who "indicts technocrats as leaders in globalist plots to control the masses." This is the same technique used in the 1970s to deflect analysis of the Trilateral Commission. This is a must-read article that shows the nexus between populism and Technocracy, which will make way for full-blown Technopopulism in America.
Technocracy in China is going to be exported to the entire world in the form of 'governance'. This is the science of social engineering, and it has already blanketed China with ubiquitous surveillance and manipulation through social credit scoring. Technocrat and global scholar Parag Khanna predicted, ”We are building this global society without a global leader. Global order is no longer some-thing that can be dictated or controlled from the top down. Globalization is itself the order.”
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is fluent in Mandarin Chinese and culture, and had no problem in negotiating the sale of personal data to Chinese companies. Technocracy transcends national borders and cultural differences because it is the same science and technology that works everywhere. In Facebook's instance, "follow the data, follow the power."
Technocrats are fascinated with knowing the future. The father of Technocracy and Scientism, Henri De Saint-Simon (1760-1825) wrote “A scientist, my dear friends, is a man who foresees; it is because science provides the means to predict that it is useful, and the scientists are superior to all other men.”
One company's solution to escaping Technocracy's scientific dictatorship of data is creating false identities for private online activity such as email, phone calls and browsing. While this may prevent some misuse of your personal data, maintaining multiple identities risks losing your real identity as an individual human being. While we need encryption in the short run, we need to dismantle the technocratic machine that seeks to control us.
This is a must-read story. TN has identified Elon Musk as a Technocrat on the basis of beliefs and actions. What we did not know is that his Canadian grandfather, Joshua Haldeman, was an avid supporter of Technocracy, served as Research Director and ultimately became the the head of the Technocracy, Inc. party in Canada.
The siren call of Technocracy that lures the heart of mankind is the promise of direct personal involvement in all affairs of society. However, this is NOT democracy nor will it ever deliver what is promised. The technocratic corporate world is as dictatorial, regimented, controlled and micromanaged as any political regime in history, and it could care less what people (or employees) think
As traditional political power weakens, market forces like Big Tech and FinTech are emerging as the new centers of power and evidences of this are everywhere. Academia is describing and embracing these trends and openly talking about Technocracy. Technocracy is an economic system driven by market forces whereas Democracy and socialism are political systems.
