On the first Christmas Day the population of our planet was about two hundred and fifty
millions less than half the population of modern China. Sixteen centuries later, when the
Pilgrim Fathers landed at Plymouth Rock, human numbers had climbed to a little more than
five hundred millions. By the time of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, world
population had passed the seven hundred million mark. In 1931, when I was writing Brave
New World, it stood at just under two billions. Today, only twenty-seven years later, there
are two billion eight hundred million of us. And tomorrow what? Aldous Huxley
Brave New World Revisited 1958

As the world explodes in violence, war, riots, and uprisings, it is challenging to
step back and examine the bigger picture. With airliners being shot down over the
Ukraine, missiles flying between Israel and Gaza, ongoing civil war in Syria, Iraq falling
apart as ISIS gains ground, dictatorship crackdown in Egypt, Turkey on the verge of
revolution, Iran gaining control of Iraq, Saudi Arabia fomenting violence, Africa dissolving
into chaos, South America imploding and sending their children across our purposely porous
southern border, Mexico under the control of drug lords, China experiencing a slow motion
real estate collapse, Japan experiencing their third decade of Keynesian failure, facing a
demographic nightmare scenario while being slowly poisoned by radiation, and Chinese-
Japanese relations moving towards World War II levels, it is easy to get lost in the day to
day minutia of history in the making.
Why is this happening at this point in history? Why is the average American economically
worse off today than they were at the height of the economic crisis in 2009? Why is the Cold
War returning with a vengeance? Why is the Federal Reserve still employing emergency
monetary policies when we are supposedly five years into a recovery and the stock market
has attained record highs? Why do the ECB and European politicians continue to paper over
the insolvency of their banks and governments? Why did the U.S. support the ouster of a
dictator we supported for decades in Egypt and then support the elevation of a new dictator
after we didnt like the policies of the democratically elected president? Why did the U.S.
eliminate the leader of Libya and allow the country to descend into anarchy and civil war?
Why did the U.S. fund and provoke a revolutionary overthrow of a democratically elected
leader in the Ukraine? Why did the U.S. fund and arm Al Qaeda associated rebels in Syria
who are now fighting our supposed allies in Iraq? Why has the U.S. been occupying
Afghanistan for the last thirteen years with the result being a Taliban that is stronger than
ever? Why are the BRIC countries forming a monetary union to challenge USD domination?
Why is the U.S. attempting to provoke Russia into a conflict with NATO?
Why is the U.S. government collecting every electronic communication made by every
American? Why is the U.S. government spying on world leader allies? Why is the U.S.
government providing military equipment to local police forces? Why is the U.S. military
conducting training exercises within U.S. cities? Why is the U.S. government attempting to
restrict Second Amendment rights? Why is the U.S. government attempting to control and
lockdown the internet? Why has the U.S. government chosen to treat the Fourth
Amendment as if it is obsolete? Why is the national debt still rising by $750 billion per year
($2 billion per day) if the economy is back to normal? Why have 12 million working age
Americans left the workforce since the economic recovery began? How could the
unemployment rate be back at 2008 levels when there are 14 million more working age
Americans and the same number employed as in 2008? Why are there 13 million more
people on food stamps today than there were at the start of the economic recovery in 2009?
Why have home prices risen by 25% since 2012 when mortgage applications have been at
fourteen year lows? Why are Wall Street profits and bonuses at record highs while the real
median household income stagnates at 1998 levels?
Why do 98% of incumbent politicians get re-elected when congressional approval levels are
lower than whale shit? Why are oil prices four times higher than they were in 2003 if the
U.S. is supposedly on the verge of energy independence? Why do the corporate controlled
mainstream media choose to entertain and regurgitate government propaganda rather than
inform, investigate and seek the truth? Why do corporations and shadowy billionaires
control the politicians, media, judges, and financial system in their ravenous quest for more
riches? Why has the public allowed a privately owned bank to control our currency and
inflate away 96% of its value in 100 years? Why have American parents allowed their
children to be programmed and dumbed down by government run public schools? Why have
Americans allowed themselves to be lured into debt in an effort to appear wealthy and
successful? Why have Americans permitted their brains to atrophy through massive doses of
social media, reality TV, iGadget addiction, and a cultural environment of techno-
narcissism? Why have Americans lost their desire to read, think critically, question
authority, act responsibly, defer gratification, and care about future generations? Why have
Americans sacrificed their freedoms, liberties and rights for the false expectation of safety
and security? Why will we pay dearly for our delusional, materialistic, debt financed idiocy?
Because we never learn the lessons of history.
There are so many questions and no truthful answers forthcoming from those who
pass for leaders in this increasingly totalitarian world. Our willful ignorance, apathy,
hubris and arrogance will have consequences. Just because it hasnt happened yet, doesnt
mean its not going to happen. The cyclicality of history guarantees a further deepening of
this Crisis. The world has evolved from totalitarian hegemony to republican liberty and
regressed back to totalitarianism throughout the centuries. Anyone honestly assessing the
current state of the world and our country would unequivocally conclude we have regressed
back towards a totalitarian regime where a small cabal of powerful oligarchs believes they
can control and manipulate the masses in their gluttonous desire for treasure. Aldous
Huxley foretold all the indicators of a world descending into totalitarianism due to
overpopulation, propaganda, brainwashing, consumerism, and dumbing down of a
distracted populace in his 1958 reassessment of his 1931 novel Brave New World.
Is There a Limit?
At the rate of increase prevailing between the birth of Christ and the death of Queen
Elizabeth I, it took sixteen centuries for the population of the earth to double. At the present
rate it will double in less than half a century. And this fantastically rapid doubling of our
numbers will be taking place on a planet whose most desirable and productive areas are
already densely populated, whose soils are being eroded by the frantic efforts of bad
farmers to raise more food, and whose easily available mineral capital is being squandered
with the reckless extravagance of a drunken sailor getting rid of his accumulated pay.
Aldous Huxley Brave New World Revisited 1958

Demographics are easy to extrapolate and arrive at an accurate prediction, as long as the
existing conditions and trends remain relatively constant. Huxley was accurate in his
doubling prediction. The world population was 2.9 billion in 1958. It only took 39 years to
double again to 5.8 billion in 1997. It has grown by 24% in the last 17 years to the current
level of 7.2 billion. According to United Nations projections, world population is projected to
reach 9.6 billion in 2050. The fact that it would take approximately 70 years for the worlds
population to double from the 1997 level reveals a slowing growth rate, as the death rate in
many developed countries surpasses their birth rate. The population of the U.S. grew from
175 million in 1958 to 320 million today, an 83% increase in 56 years.
The rapid population growth over the last century from approximately 1.8 billion in 1914,
despite two horrific world wars, is attributable to cheap, easy to access oil and advances in
medical technology made possible by access to cheap oil. The projection of 9.6 billion in
2050 is based upon an assumption the worlds energy, food and water resources can sustain
that many people, no world wars kill a few hundred million people, no incurable diseases
spread across the globe and there is no catastrophic geologic, climate, or planetary events.
Ill take the under on the 9.6 billion.
Anyone viewing the increasingly violent world situation without bias can already
see the strain that overpopulation has created. Today, six countries contain half
the worlds population.

A cursory examination of population trends around the world provides a
frightening glimpse into a totalitarian future marked by vicious resource wars,
violent upheaval and starvation for millions. India, a country one third the size of the
United States, has four times the population of the United States. A vast swath of the
population lives in poverty and squalor. India contains the largest concentration (25%) of
people living below the World Banks international poverty line of $1.25 per day. According
to the U.N. India is expected to add 400 million people to its cities by 2050. Its capital city
Delhi already ranks as the second largest in the world, with 25 million inhabitants. The city
has more than doubled in size since 1990. The assumptions in these U.N. projections are
flawed. Without rapidly expanding economic growth, capital formation and energy
resources, the ability to employ, house, feed, clothe, transport, and sustain 400 million
more people will be impossible. Disease, starvation, civil unrest, war and a totalitarian
government would be the result. With its mortal enemy Pakistan, already the sixth most
populated country in the world, jamming 182 million people into an area one quarter the
size of India and one twelfth the size of the U.S. and growing faster than India, war over
resources and space will be inevitable. And both countries have nuclear arms.
More than half the globes inhabitants now live in urban areas, with China, India and Nigeria
forecast to see the most urban growth over the next 30 years. Twenty-four years ago, there
were 10 megacities with populations pushing above the 10 million mark. Today, there are
28 megacities with areas of developing nations seeing faster growth: 16 in Asia, 4 in Latin
America, 3 in Africa, 3 in Europe and 2 in North America. The world is expected to have 41
sprawling megacities over the next few decades with developing nations representing the
majority of that growth. Today, Tokyo, with 38 million people, is the largest in the world,
followed by New Delhi, Jakarta, Seoul, Shanghai, Beijing, Manila, and Karachi all
exceeding 20 million people.
To highlight the rapid population growth of the developing world, the New York metropolitan
area containing 18 million people was ranked as the third largest urban area in the world in
1990. Today it is ranked ninth and is expected to be ranked fourteenth by 2030. The U.S.
had the fewest births since 1998 last year at 3.95 million. We also had the highest recorded
deaths in history at 2.54 million. The fertility rate for 20- to 24-year-olds is now 83.1 births
per 1,000 women, a record low. That combination created a gap in births over deaths that
is the lowest it has been in 35 years.
This is the plight of the developed world (U.S., Europe, Japan) and even China (due to one
child policy). According to the U.N. report, the population of developed regions will remain
largely unchanged at around 1.3 billion from now until 2050. In contrast, the 49 least
developed countries are projected to double in size from around 900 million people in 2013
to 1.8 billion in 2050. The rapid growth of desperately poor third world countries like
Nigeria, Afghanistan, Niger, Congo, Ethiopia, and Uganda will create tremendous
strain on their economic, political, social, and infrastructural systems. Nigerias
population is projected to surpass the U.S. by 2050. Japan, Europe and Russia are
in demographic death spirals. China is neutral, and the U.S. is expected to grow by
another 89 million people. I wonder how many of them the BLS will classify as not
in the labor force.

What are the implications to mankind of the world adding another billion people in the next
twelve years, primarily in the poorest countries of Asia, Africa and South America? What
does the world think of the U.S., which constitutes 4.4% of the worlds population, but
consumes 20% of the worlds oil production and 24% of the worlds food? Will there be
consequences to having the 85 richest people on earth accumulating as much wealth as the
poorest 3.5 billion, with 1.2 billion surviving on less than $1.25 per day? Can a planet with
finite amount of easily accessible financially viable extractable resources support an ever
increasing number of people? Is there a limit to growth? I believe these questions will
be answered in the next fifteen years as the dire consequences play out in civil
strife, resource wars, totalitarian regimes, and societal collapse. Fourth Turning
Crisis cycles always sweep away the existing social order and replace it with
something new. It could be better or far worse.
Impact of Over-Population
The problem of rapidly increasing numbers in relation to natural resources, to social
stability and to the well-being of individuals this is now the central problem of mankind;
and it will remain the central problem certainly for another century, and perhaps for several
centuries thereafter. Unsolved, that problem will render insoluble all our other problems.
Worse still, it will create conditions in which individual freedom and the social decencies of
the democratic way of life will become impossible, almost unthinkable. Not all dictatorships
arise in the same way. There are many roads to Brave New World; but perhaps the
straightest and the broadest of them is the road we are traveling today, the road that leads
through gigantic numbers and accelerating increases. Aldous Huxley Brave New
World Revisited 1958

The turmoil roiling the world today is a function of Huxleys supposition that over-
population pushes societies towards centralization and ultimately totalitarianism.
The relentless growth in the worlds population, not matched by growth in energy resources,
water, food, and living space, results in increasing tension, anger, economic decline,
government dependency, war and ultimately totalitarianism. Huxley believed politicians and
governments would increasingly resort to propaganda and misinformation to mislead
citizens as the problems worsened and freedoms were revoked. Could this recent statement
by our commander and chief of propaganda have made Edward Bernays and Joseph
Goebbels any prouder?
The world is less violent than it has ever been. It is healthier than it has ever been. It is
more tolerant than it has ever been. It is better fed then its ever been. It is more educated
than its ever been.
Im sure the people living in Gaza, the Ukraine, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Thailand,
Turkey, Africa and American urban ghettos would concur with Obamas less violent than
ever mantra. Disease (Cholera, Malaria, Hepatitis, Aids, Tuberculosis, Ebola, Plague, SARS)
and malnutrition beset third world countries, while the U.S. obesity epidemic caused by
consumption of corporate processed food peddled to the masses through diabolical
marketing methods enriches the mega-corporate food companies, as well as the corporate
sick care complex. Religious wars and culture wars rage across the world as intolerance for
others beliefs reaches all-time highs. After three decades of government controlled public
education they have succeeded in dumbing down the masses through social engineering,
propaganda, and promoting equality over excellence. Obama should stop trying to think
and stick to what he does best golf and fundraising. After reading his drivel, Im
reminded of a far more pertinent quote from Huxley:
Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.
The chart below details the fact that 12% of the worlds population in countries producing
9% of the worlds oil are currently in a state of war. The violence, war, and civil unrest
roiling the Ukraine, Syria, Egypt, Libya, Iraq, and Afghanistan are a direct result of U.S.
meddling, instigation, and provocation. The U.S. government funds dictators (Hussein,
Mubarak, Assad, Gaddafi) until they no longer serve their interests, engineer the overthrow
of democratically elected leaders in countries (Iran, Egypt, Ukraine) that dont toe the line,
and dole out billions in military aid and arms to countries around the world in an effort to
make them do our dirty work and enrich the military industrial complex. The true
motivation behind most of the violence, intrigue and war is the U.S. need to
maintain the U.S. petro-dollar hegemony and to control the flow of oil and natural
gas throughout the world. The ruling oligarchys power, influence, and wealth are
dependent upon dictating currency valuations and flow of oil and gas from foreign
fiefdoms.

In Huxleys 1931 Brave New World fable the worlds population is maintained at
an optimum level (just under 2 billion) calculated by those in control. This is done
through technology and biological manipulation. Procreation through sexual
intercourse is prohibited. Creation of the desired number of people in each class is
scientifically determined and the classes are conditioned from birth to fulfill their roles in
society. When Huxley reassessed his novel in 1958s Brave New World Revisited he didnt
argue for an optimum level of population. He simply hypothesized a close correlation
between too many people, multiplying too rapidly, and the formulation of authoritarian
philosophies and rise of totalitarian systems of government.
The introduction of penicillin, DDT, and clean water into even the poorest countries on the
planet had the effect of rapidly decreasing death rates around the globe. Meanwhile, birth
rates continued to increase due to religious, social and cultural taboos surrounding birth
control and the illiteracy and ignorance of those in the poorest regions of the world. The
ultimate result has been an explosion in population growth in the developing world, least
able to sustain that growth. Huxley just uses common sense in concluding that as an ever
growing population presses more heavily upon accessible resources, the economic position
of the society undergoing this ordeal becomes ever more precarious.
It essentially comes down to the laws of economics. Most of the developing world
is economic basket cases. They cannot produce food, consumer goods, housing,
schools, infrastructure, teachers, managers, scientists or educated workers at the
same rate as their population growth. Therefore, it is impossible to improve the
wretched conditions of the vast majority, as they wallow in squalor. Unless a country can
produce more than it consumes, it cannot generate the surplus capital needed to invest in
machinery, agricultural production, manufacturing facilities, and education. The rapidly
growing population sinks further into poverty and despair. Huxley grasps the nefarious
implications for freedom and liberty as over-population wreaks havoc around the globe:
Whenever the economic life of a nation becomes precarious, the central government is
forced to assume additional responsibilities for the general welfare. It must work out
elaborate plans for dealing with a critical situation; it must impose ever greater restrictions
upon the activities of its subjects; and if, as is very likely, worsening economic conditions
result in political unrest, or open rebellion, the central government must intervene to
preserve public order and its own authority. More and more power is thus concentrated in
the hands of the executives and their bureaucratic managers. Aldous Huxley Brave
New World Revisited 1958
Despots, dictators, and power hungry presidents arise in an atmosphere of fear,
scarce resources, hopelessness, and misery. As the power of the central
government grows the freedoms, liberties and rights of the people are diminished
and ultimately relinquished.
In Part Two, I will examine our relentless path towards totalitarianism and war.
Our Totalitarian Future - Part 2

Submitted by Jim Quinn of The Burning Platform blog,
In Part One, I asked questions your keepers dont want to answer truthfully, while
providing the contextual setting for how our over-populated world is progressing relentlessly
towards a future of war and totalitarianism.
Totalitarianism Now
Where the republican or limited monarchical tradition is weak, the best of constitutions will
not prevent ambitious politicians from succumbing with glee and gusto to the temptations of
power. And in any country where numbers have begun to press heavily upon available
resources, these temptations cannot fail to arise. Over-population leads to economic
insecurity and social unrest. Unrest and insecurity lead to more control by central
governments and an increase of their power. In the absence of a constitutional tradition,
this increased power will probably be exercised in a dictatorial fashion. Aldous Huxley
Brave New World Revisited 1958

Huxley wrote his dystopian masterpiece in 1931 before the rise of Stalin, Hitler and Mao and
their murderous totalitarian empires, sustained by torture, mass murder, surveillance, and
fear. Orwell wrote 1984 in 1948, after living through the nightmare of World War II and
witnessing the malevolent systematic terrorism inflicted upon innocent populations by
psychopathic tyrants like Hitler and Stalin. World War II killed 65 million people. Stalins
purges killed 20 million Russians, and Mao murdered 45 million of his own people. It
appeared that Orwells gruesome vision of a future of brutality, surveillance, and fear would
come true.
Instead, Huxleys vision gained ground in the post war world of cheap oil, mass production,
consumerism, and TV advertising. It was found that government through terror works on
the whole less well than government through the non-violent manipulation of the
environment and of the thoughts and feelings of individual men, women and children.
Propaganda, amusements, materialism, easily accessible debt, and relentless media
messaging convinced the masses to love their enslavement and never dream of revolution.
It worked as long as energy and debt remained cheap and plentiful.
The 4.4 billion increase (157%) in the worlds population since Huxleys warning in 1958 is
attributable to vast supplies of cheap easily accessible oil, natural gas and coal, which have
allowed technological and agricultural advancements that have vastly expanded food
production, water purification, global transportation, and medical advancements. With the
peak in traditional worldwide oil production reached around 2005, and modest subsequent
production increases obtained only by mining tar sands, fracking shale and drilling in deep
water at much higher production costs, the era of cheap plentiful energy has come to an
end.

Propaganda and storylines about vast reserves and energy independence fail to
acknowledge the concept of Energy Returned on Energy Invested (EROEI). Once it requires
investing more than one barrel of oil in energy to extract one barrel of oil, the game is over.
We are approaching the limits of growth because our remaining energy resources will
require much more capital investment and higher prices for companies to make that
investment. Oil prices were $25 per barrel when George Bush and the neo-cons launched
their Iraq Freedom campaign in 2003. Eleven years later, with U.S. oil production at 44 year
highs and consumption at 2000 levels, a barrel of oil is over $100 per barrel. The
combination of increased demand from developing countries, vastly higher production costs,
and global unrest in the areas of the world storing our oil under their sand will put a floor
on prices, with spikes upward as resource wars flare up around the globe.
It is not a coincidence that the world economic system collapsed in 2008 after oil prices
topped $140 per barrel. World food prices also spiked to all-time highs in 2008. The surge in
food prices in 2011 to new highs was the impetus for the Arab Spring and social unrest
across the Middle East and Africa. The FAO World Food Index spiked to levels only exceeded
in 2011 earlier this year. Oil prices have surged as high as $106 and have averaged over
$100 in 2014. Do you think it is just a coincidence that social unrest across the Middle East,
Africa, Asia and Europe has surged in the last few months? Rising prices and the increasing
scarcity of food, water and energy resources push the desperately poor towards revolution.

Societal strife, economic decline, poverty, lawlessness, and resource deprivation in third
world countries result in dependency upon a central authority to sustain the masses. In the
poorest countries without a long history of democracy, the people turn to a strong leader to
save them. Before long too much power is accumulated in too few hands and totalitarian
regimes are born. The world is awash in the blood spilled by dictators (North Korea, Egypt,
Cuba, Saudi Arabia, Zimbabwe, Iran, Tunisia, Syria, Sudan) and presidents in name only
(China, Vietnam, Nigeria, Turkey, Ukraine, Venezuela, Russia, Argentina).
Dreadfully poor people with no hope for a better future turn to radical religion, extremist
ideas, and psychotic leaders. A full belly trumps freedoms and liberties. It is not surprising
that despots proliferate in the poorest countries with the highest population growth rates.
The so called developed world in the U.S. and Europe had been able to sidestep and even
take advantage of these developing countries until the 2008 financial collapse. The oligarchs
have treated the third world as slave plantations to be reaped, plundered and pillaged. Their
banker solution to a crisis caused by the fraudulent issuance of debt products has been to
redouble their looting and pillaging campaign through the issuance of even more debt in
order to further enrich themselves at the expense of the many.
Huxley saw it beginning to happen even during the late 1950s:
Meanwhile impersonal forces over which we have almost no control seem to be pushing us
all in the direction of the Brave New Worldian nightmare; and this impersonal pushing is
being consciously accelerated by representatives of commercial and political organizations
who have developed a number of new techniques for manipulating, in the interest of some
minority, the thoughts and feelings of the masses. Aldous Huxley Brave New World
Revisited 1958
I think Huxley underestimated the lengths to which a minority of criminal wealthy bankers,
their crony capitalist corporate co-conspirators, and feckless bought off politicians would go
in their sociopathic manipulation of the masses to gorge themselves upon the worlds
resources and wealth. In 1958 the manipulators only had TV in its infancy and independent
newspapers published by journalists who attempted to report the truth. Theyve come a
long way baby.
The Deep State, Silent Government, Oligarchs, TPTB, or whatever term you want to employ
to our Brave New World Controllers have mastered the art of propaganda, manipulation,
distraction, and social engineering to such an extent the majority of Americans have come
to love their techno-narcissistic, debt saturated, welfare/warfare, surveillance state. When a
minority of evil minded men gain control of a nations currency, own and control the few
remaining propaganda news outlets, run the mega-corporations selling toxic poison
processed food and iGadgets to the masses on debt issued by Wall Street banks, pay-off the
politicians writing legislation and tax codes, and brainwash the youth through government
controlled education, your Brave New World nightmare has arrived.
Huxley believed that over-population was not an immediate threat to the personal freedoms
of Americans and Europeans due to their long history under democratic constitutions. Of
course our national debt of $276 billion in 1958 was only 57% of our annual GDP of $482
billion. The population of 175 million could easily be sustained, with ample supplies of
energy, food and jobs. The standard of living for families rose consistently and an economy
based upon savings, capital investment, and producing things flowed wealth across all
classes raising all boats. Banks accumulated deposits from citizens and leant money to
small businesses. There were no stock options, derivatives, stock buybacks, or trading
profits. People borrowed sparingly and saved for the things they wanted.
Huxley predicted trouble by the beginning of the twenty first century if the population of the
U.S. continued to outpace the available resources to support that population. He was right
again. The party ended in 2000.The National Debt has soared to $17.6 trillion, or 104% of
GDP in 2014. Why did the debt go up by a factor of 64 while GDP only advanced by a factor
of 35? In 1958, prior to the blossoming of the welfare/warfare state, there were little to no
unfunded liabilities. Today the total exceeds $200 trillion. A country adding debt at this
astronomical rate is a country consuming far more than it is producing. Depletion of
resources, overconsumption, and economic decline lead to debt expansion and centralized
government control. When 20% of all households depend upon food stamps to survive, your
country has too many mouths to feed and a failing economic system designed to serve the
oligarchs and impoverish the peasants.
Consumer debt outstanding in 1958 totaled $48 billion, all non-revolving debt mainly for
auto purchases. The credit card did not exist. Consumer debt outstanding today totals $3.2
trillion. Has this 6,667% increase in consumer debt benefitted the average person or Jamie
Dimon and his ilk? Is it a rational choice of consumers in a free capitalist market or is it a
result of coordinated actions by the banking cabal and their captured government
benefactors to enslave the masses in debt while keeping them dumbed down and distracted
by electronic gadgets produced in slave labor camps overseas under the guise of
globalization? Huxley didnt anticipate Federal Reserve bankers and cowardly captured
politicians purposefully inflating away 88% of the U.S. dollars purchasing power as they
expanded the welfare/warfare state through monetary manipulation, abandonment of gold
backed currency and unfettered debt expansion. The result is real wages havent advanced
in the last 40 years, while corporate profits reach record heights and a small cadre of
oligarchs reap the rewards of debt enslavement of the many.

The Ponzi scheme system created by the invisible leaders of the supposedly free
developed world required never ending growth to support the never ending issuance of debt
in order to keep the fleecing of the masses operation running smoothly. This is where
increasing population and resource depletion have thrown a monkey wrench into their
printing press operation. The autocrats harvested energy and minerals resources from third
world countries, while utilizing the catch phrase of globalization, as a cover for their wage
arbitrage mechanism to continue their worldwide pillaging scheme. The Ivy League
educated moguls are extremely smart when it comes to figuring out new and creative ways
to screw the common folk, but their unparalleled hubris and arrogant disregard for
humanity blind them to the ultimate consequences of their malevolent machinations. There
will be blood and they will not escape unscathed. War is coming, but not the war they
anticipate.
The definition of totalitarianism is a political system in which the state holds total authority
over the society and seeks to control all aspects of public and private life wherever possible.
Our two party farce of a political system is aligned to control our lives through laws,
regulations, rules, bylaws, procedures, tax codes, taxation, inflation, and debt, enforced by
government apparatchiks, bureaucrats, politicians, bankers, police state thugs, and when all
else fails the military. While the masses were distracted by facebooking, texting,
twittering, instagramming, taking selfies, playing Words with Friends, engaging make
believe enemies on their PS3 or Xbox, watching the Kardashians on one of their 700 cable
TV stations, or shopping for Chinese produced crap at one of our 1.5 million cookie cutter
chain retail boxes, those in control of this country covertly turned the nation into a
surveillance state while militarizing local police forces. They know the endless growth story
is over. Our oppressors fear the repercussions when the masses realize its all been a big lie
and they are left impoverished and hungry. They are attempting to instigate foreign wars,
while preparing for the coming civil war.
The confusion, chaos, mayhem and war currently shaking the foundations of our planet are
a direct result of too many people jammed into too small of a space with too few resources
and too few opportunities for economic advancement. Poor, deprived, hungry people with
nothing to lose begin to lose it. Revolution, civil unrest, radicalism, the rise of extremists
and despots, and totalitarian regimes are the result. The invasion of Iraq was about oil. The
overthrow of Gaddafi was about oil. The ongoing attempt to overthrow Assad is about a
natural gas pipeline to Europe in order to isolate the Russians. The Ukrainian coup is about
Russian natural gas and oil. The sanctions and saber rattling over Irans nuclear program is
really about their oil. The United States is utilizing their military industrial complex and CIA
assets to instigate turmoil and war around the world in an effort to gain control over the
dwindling energy resources in the Middle East and Africa. Russia and China are blocking
U.S. efforts at every turn, as the world inches ever closer to a major resource war.
Huxleys Brave New World dystopian America had a good run from 1950 until 2000. Our
keepers kept us fat, dumb, distracted, and in debt up to our eyeballs. Since 2000 Orwells
1984 dystopian Surveillance States of America seems to be taking shape, under the
watchful eye of our very own Big Brother, the NSA. Fear, punishment, slogans (See
Something Say Something) and appeals to non-thinking patriotism have replaced freedom,
liberty, individual rights, the Constitution, personal responsibility for our own lives and
questioning authority. The propagandists created the War on Terror as a way to keep the
ignorant masses fearful and cowering behind the skirts of Big Brother. The 2008 financial
collapse was another crisis that couldnt go to waste. The Federal Government has
expanded the spending of your tax dollars by 40% since 2007. The DHS concentrates on
the internal enemy you. The military industrial complex creates new foreign enemy
threats every day Hussein, Gaddafi, Ahmadinejad, Assad, and now Putin.
The monetary and fiscal policies of the country have remained in permanent crisis mode
because the Ponzi scheme cant be maintained without a constant debt fix. As our
permanent state of crisis devolves into war, our remaining liberties will be stripped away in
the name of safety, security and unquestioned support of the state. Huxley knew that we
would consume, obey and submit until dictatorship became almost inevitable. Will you sit
idly by while a small cabal of power hungry men destroys our country? Will you send your
sons off to wars manufactured by tyrants as cannon fodder to further enrich the military
industrial complex? Will you make a stand when they begin to round up subversives,
dissenters, and malcontents under the guise of protecting you from domestic terrorists? Will
you choose liberty and freedom over repression and descent into captivity and
totalitarianism? The choice is yours.
But liberty, as we all know, cannot flourish in a country that is permanently on a war
footing, or even a near-war footing. Permanent crisis justifies permanent control of
everybody and everything by the agencies of the central government. And permanent crisis
is what we have to expect in a world in which over-population is producing a state of things,
in which dictatorship becomes almost inevitable. Aldous Huxley Brave New World
Revisited 1958

Are you a believer?
One believes things because one has been conditioned to believe them. Aldous Huxley

Or a truth seeker?
You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you mad. Aldous Huxley
