Industrial Post-Modernism

Industrial society can be seen as starting roughly around the time of the printing press. Our use of technology vastly predates that. I’ve often wondered if language wasn’t our first technology, in which case there’s an argument that technology is innate in our ancestral heritage. Like most things in our ancestral heritage, our relationship to it can be of great benefit. There are two important threads I’d like to follow through Industrialization. One is centralized banking interest, and the now infamous consolidation of wealth into the hands of just a few. The second, is the shift from familial/ancestral groupings to prescribed identity subcultures that has been happening since the sixties.  

The great empires of the past leave their legacy in the technology we use today. This can be seen in simple language, in the foreign turns of phrase, or legends that are adopted, in aesthetics, the art, architecture, style and clothing that is ascribed to the culture. There are even vast tendrils of empire that reach through history we are unaware of. For example, the rockets built for the American SpaceX launch in 2020 were built to the measurement of an Imperial Roman war chariot. This is because of a bizarre relationship between American railways and British railways, and railway workers and wagon building. 


The tools for wagon building were all set to accommodate the ruts in the roads in Europe which were created by the Roman Empire’s standard chariot size. The railway workers were also the wagon workers, and used the same tools. When Americans imported the workers, they brought their same tools. So rockets for all the spaceships, which travel by train, are built to a standardized measurement of a horses ass. Brings a new meaning to the phrase ‘All roads lead to Rome.’


The imprint of previous empires cannot be denied and yet it is the current American empire which has seen the abundant growth of the world population from around seven hundred million, to seven billion. There are many factors that had to be in play for this to occur, not least of them the political atmosphere that fostered the technological growth in America. Regardless of alternate histories or advanced pre-civilizations, modern industrialization is the story of the rise of the American empire. 


The American Empire has a bad reputation. For anyone who has been alive during the American Century (1900-1999) the endless foreign wars and pointless wars of ideology (drugs, terror) were a blight on an otherwise very comfortable and complacent period. If one sees the World Wars as being funded and orchestrated by generational wealth in Europe in order to further the political control of central banking institutions, much of the history of the past century begins to make much more sense. The tentacles of centralized banking had already seized hold of the American governance mechanisms by the time the World Wars came about, and the World Wars themselves would not have happened if it weren’t for the collusion of media, corporate, and banking industries in what we now call the Military Industrial Complex.


The shadow of the American Century is the Communist foil to the American ingenuity. Whereas the structure of Communism incentivizes cooperation:


‘From each according to their ability, to each according to their need’ 


Capitalism incentivizes competition;


‘A society that puts equality before freedom will get neither. A society that puts freedom before equality will get a high degree of both.’


The irony of both systems is that as they are egregores themselves, they are subject to the principles of polarity. So while Communism is formulated to incentivize cooperation, in extreme it rewards divisive behaviour such as laziness and snitching. Capitalism is supposed to incentivize competition, but in extremes it rewards violence, and unfair practices. Neither are necessarily the true intentions of the people who believe in the systems, but rather a sublimation of the drives which run counter to the ideology. The biggest difference between Capitalism and Communism is the type of behaviour that is rewarded to rise in the dominance hierarchy.


The beginning of the 20th century was a strange overlapping of global narratives. The British Empire, which had been the pre-eminent imperial power, was in decline. Hot on the heels of this decline were the last vestiges of European nobility trying to lay claim to whatever they could during a power vacuum. Coupled with a number of tricky allegiances and treaties, and a mis-timed assassination, and you have the conventional story as to why the first World War happened. Of course, nowhere is anyone mentioning blood magicians orchestrating the deaths of millions to further their exo-political goals. 


An important detail is the change in family structure over this time period. Somehow despite a shrinking family structure we have ended up with more people. At the onset of industrialization, families with over ten children were not uncommon. By the beginning of the American Century, there was already a shift towards the nuclear family. By the end of the twentieth century, we see common trends across the first world of negative birth rates. And yet, even with the trend towards smaller families,  humanity has exploded in world population. There are a number of factors, not the least of them hygiene. 


The cleanliness and hygiene movement of the early twentieth century can be seen as mitigating the majority of diseases that had previously plagued humanity. Although many would attribute some of the success to advents in medicine and pharmaceuticals, these discoveries, including vaccines, and penicillin, were found as disease in the west was in decline. The pace of life had been changed by industrialization, and the production surpluses, along with the health and wellness of humanity was the perfect breeding ground for a population explosion. Counter to this thriving push towards mass population, were a number of groups who saw this rapid population explosion as a potentially threatening development. 


Very famously in Britain the Fabian society was formed. It had a number of high ranking intelligentsia of the day pass through their ranks, and still exists today. Their symbol is a wolf in sheep’s skin, and their philosophy is that gradual change can affect revolution much more effectively than open revolution. Two striking novelists who spent some time with the Fabians were Aldous Huxley, and George Orwell. There is a similarity of critique in the books ‘Brave New World’ and ‘1984’ which can be seen as a reaction to Fabian goals. George Bernard Shaw, prominent member and a notoriously outspoken playwright and activist said: 


“I don't want to punish anybody, but there are an extraordinary number of people who I want to kill. Not in any unkind or personal spirit. But it must be evident to all of you, you must all know half a dozen people at least, who are no use in this world; who are more trouble than they are worth. And I think it would be a good thing to make everybody come before a properly appointed board just as he might come before the income tax commissioners and say every 5 years or every 7 years, just put them there, and say, sir or madam, now will you be kind enough to justify your existence? If you can’t justify your existence; if you’re not pulling your weight in the social boat; if you are not producing as much as you consume or perhaps a little more, then clearly we cannot use the big organization of our society for the purpose of keeping you alive, because your life does not benefit us, and it can’t be of very much use to yourself.”


This sort of arrogant extension of a desired philosophy into someone else’s domain is at the core of neoliberalism and the ultimate critique of collectivist ideology. In order to lawfully involve yourself in someone else’s domain, one requires permission or trust. Throughout the beginning of the American Empire there is an emergent pattern of the extremely wealthy investing significant resources into causes which outwardly seem altruistic, but are actually a means of gaining enough trust and permission from the population to extend their true machinations into our every day lives. This is a pattern that has been repeated over and over by billionaires such as John D Rockefeller, Jacob Rothschild, and even in modern times Bill Gates has followed the same blueprint. Once the fortune has been made, spend some pittance rehabilitating the image whilst establishing numerous avenues by which to profit from their ‘philanthropy’.

One needs only to look at the fruits of the so called ‘philanthropy’ to get a clearer picture of the sociological drive behind the spending of large amounts of money. Much like the quote from Shaw above, the true drive for most of the ultra-rich are so disconnected from a commoners reality that their true nature can be difficult to accept. On a micro level, everyone has heard and accepts that the Catholic Church has had a number of scandals involving child abuse. This is a sharp contrast to any other examinations of possible groups of pedophiles in positions of extreme wealth or power. If one of the oldest and most powerful institutions in the world finds itself complicit in pedophiliac behaviour, and the active covering up of this behaviour for centuries, how difficult would it be for other institutions to be infiltrated and controlled in this manner? Since the madness of the 2016 elections, the subsequent leaked and hacked information that has come out points to complicity at the highest levels of government, science, and industry. The arrests of Epstein and Maxwell were also obvious signs of the depth of depravity intelligence agencies have gone in the name of obtaining leverage or control. 

It’s very easy to accept these concepts in abstract. But when it comes time to put them into practice it’s much more difficult. So much of socialization is agreeing on aspects of reality. When one chooses to look beyond the agreed reality, it can be disconcerting to those who have not. The reality of the scientific, industrial, and political world being controlled by a cabal of pedophile blood magicians is a horrible thought. The truth is, all these hidden aspects of reality are not as much hidden as ignored, or conveniently forgotten. We all, on a base level, understand and agree to participate in the hegemony so long as certain conveniences and luxuries are afforded. 

One of the narratives of the late twentieth century is the consolidation of corporations into multinationals, effectively reducing the number of different companies in existence. On a fiduciary level, we’ve seen the military industrial complex continue forcefully installing central banks in the handful of countries still holding out. This centralization of power is carefully augmented by a global propaganda network that hides the true aims of this process of centralization. These propaganda networks serve to program society to emotionally accept ideas that are useful for the blood magicians, and to discard or avoid ideas which are detrimental to their goals. During modern times, this process has been hidden under the term ‘Globalization’. 

During the past few years we have seen increasing censorship in the media in the west. From whistleblowers like Julian Assange, or Edward Snowden, to the treatment of politically inconvenient mouthpieces like Alex Jones or Donald Trump. There is a push to severely limit the replication of memetic ideas across social and traditional media, and though it’s spectacularly failed numerous times, there is an inexorable interest for the blood magicians to control the narratives we spin to make sense of reality. More powerful than control of a nations money, is control of a nation’s narrative. The stories we tell ourselves in order to keep waking up and going to work, the stories we tell ourselves in order to fall asleep. Control of these is the final push of the centralized banking blood magician cabal, and we are fortunate enough to see this play out in real time. 

At the start of the 20th century, a new narrative gaming profession was established, called public relations (PR firms). Edward Bernays, the infamous nephew of Sigmund Freud began selling influence and advertising in ways previously unthought. Using techniques that would capitalize on the public's untrained psyche, desires and consent were manufactured, at first in accordance to group identity, and later when this form of advertisement was no longer as successful, it was manufactured as a choosing of individual identity. This weaponizing of individualism is the means by which the families who maintain the system have been able to ensure no challenges arise to their hegemony.

So to recap, the American Empire thrust the world into industrialization and free market capitalism, but drew the ire of the centralized banking cabal in the process. Using a philosophy of gradualism, these cabals use influence, bribery, blackmail, usury, and violence to practice regulatory and governmental capture. Once the internet shook the complete control of narrative that existed through much of this process, a push was made to censor and control which information can be ‘freely’ spread. Many of the cultural narratives that we grew up on were planted and fostered by this cabal. The most insidious of these narratives are the ones that push us away from family and reproduction, framing them as burdensome or reducing the individual’s freedom. It doesn’t take much digging to realize there are massive operations in place to try and limit the reproduction of the masses. This was never more clear than during the 20th century, when the true wealth of industrialization was pit against an increasing paucity of communal thriving.
