Technocracy: The Digital Panopticon Of The World Economic Forum
The World Economic
Forum is totally supporting all of the UN’s Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs), aka Technocracy. In this article we
present a short analysis of each SDG and what they really
mean. Please take time to read through each point, view each
short video and then share as widely as
possible.
A week before World
Economic Forum’s 2020 meeting, the report Unlocking
Technology for the Global Goals was released by
WEF’s Global Future Council Working Group on 4IR for
Global Public Goods. The report, written in collaboration with
the audit and consulting firm PwC, reviews how the advanced
technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) will
contribute to meeting the objectives of the 17 Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations.
The work is part of
WEF’s new initiative Frontier 2030, led by
Danish Anne Marie Engtoft Larsen (who also contributed to
Klaus Schwab’s book Shaping the Fourth Industrial
Revolution). Noteworthy is that six of the seven main
authors of the report are women.
The world, if all goes
according to plan, is to be completely changed over the course
of a decade. Just like Maurice Strong at the first Stockholm
Conference in 1972, the United Nations claims that we have
“only ten years” to save the world, and
both the UN and WEF have dubbed the next ten years the
Decade of Action.
This campaign is very well
coordinated and includes governments, international
organisations, and representatives of “civil
society”. Also onboard are the big tech giants who all
see great opportunities for profit (read: tens or even
hundreds of billions of dollars) in “saving and
improving the world”. All according to WEF’s
principle of Public-Private Partnership (originating with
Mussolini, implemented in Sweden, and successfully propagated
internationally by David Rockefeller).
The United Nation’s
17 Global Goals give a blueprint for what we globally
and collectively are urged to do on the claim that these would
end extreme poverty, protect our natural environment, revert
climate change and create a more sustainable, equal and
prosperous future for all. (Unlocking Technology for the
Global Goals)
So, what is this
technological solution all about?
The report gives an
overview on how 4IR could help reach the 17 SDGs. This is a
plan that promises Utopia but offers only Technocracy as a
solution, with no other options available.
The report presents a
technocratic society where the whole world is to be controlled
and governed with the help of AI, satellites, robotics,
drones, the Internet of Things, and with artificial food on
the menu. A global digital panopticon where all human
activities are to be recorded, analysed, and corrected with
the help of Social Credits – yes, even in the West!
The Fourth Industrial
Revolution is now openly displayed as a powerful weapon
against the masses with a digital god (AI) who will judge and
control us in real time. This is the ultimate form of social
engineering and a serious threat to the freedom of
humanity.
In this vision, man is also
meant to be altered to become something other than a human
being.
“It is
conceivable, on the other hand, that geocybernetics will
follow completely different (or complementary) courses that
lie more in the realm of social management. Here the
demographic issue overrides other themes: Is there an optimal
number of human beings to be supported by the ecosphere? What
is the right mix of condensing people in cities and dispersing
them across landscapes?” – Hans Joachim
Schellnhuber (former chair of the German Advisory Council on
Global Change).
WEF’s
solution to each of the Sustainable Development
Goals
Here are some examples of
the many 4th Industrial Revolution measures for Goal 1-16
proposed by the World Economic Forum (with examples from
YouTube by corporations marketing their version of
each solution).
Goal 1. No
poverty
“Poverty
alleviation and social protection”
Solutions:
– AI-enabled digital
footprint for credit/mobile money access;
– Blockchain digital
identity solutions to enable economic identities, including
for refugees.
= AI analysing a
person’s credit rating through his or her digital
footprint (Facebook, Twitter, etc.). Also it means collecting
information about individuals through Blockchain technology to
ensure their background, skills and implicitly bad habits and
behaviours. Thus, the same system as Social Credits in China,
which began as Zhima Credits developed by Ant Financial to
assess customer credit-worthiness. Ant Financial (formerly
Alipay) is Alibaba’s finance company. Alibaba is a
strategic partner of the World Economic Forum and its founder
Jack Ma is part of the WEF Board of Trustees.
Goal 2. Zero
hunger
“Access to food,
improved nutrition and food-production
security”
Solutions:
– Low-cost, low-GHG
emissions synthetic proteins;
– AI, sensors and
Blockchain to eliminate spoilage/loss in food value chain,
including smart food storage.
= Replace even more real
food with synthetic edibles and use technology to monitor all
processes that handle food, ideally resulting in zero waste or
risk that stores run out of supplies of (synthetic)
food.
Goal 3. Good health
and well-being
“Advancing global
health for all ages, and healthcare services”
Solutions:
– Smart homecare, smart
wearables and virtual healthcare assistants;

Goal 4. Quality
education
“Inclusive access
to education, quality of education and learning
facilities”
Solutions:
– AI-driven assessments to
enable the delivery of continuous feedback;
– AI-designed digital
curriculums, teaching plans and content across devices.
= Leave the indoctrination
of masses goal in the hands of AI. It never gets tired and
will nag until you give up.
Goal 5. Gender
equality
“Facilitating
gender equality, protecting and empowering women and
girls”
Solutions:
– AI-enabled real-time
gender data analytics;

robots and use AI to guide the remaining workforce.
Goal 9. Industry,
infrastructure and innovation
“Building
inclusive, resilient and sustainable infrastructure and
industry”
Solutions:
– IoT-enabled tracking and
optimization of industrial machinery;
– Robotics for
manufacturing and construction process automation.
= Monitor all industrial
processes and automate to make people more and more
irrelevant.
Goal 10. Reduced
inequalities
“Facilitating
equality and international collaboration”
Solutions:
– AI-enabled digital
footprint for mobile money access;
– Next-gen demographics
data analytics.
= Analyse data to identify
and correct unwanted differences between countries and
regions.
Goal 11.
Sustainable cities and communities
“Building smart,
inclusive, safe and resilient urban systems”
Solutions:
– “Sensor-based
grid and AI-based urban network management (pollution, waste,
water, energy)”;
– “Next-gen
satellite, drone and IoT landuse detection and
management”.
= Develop Smart Cities with
real-time monitoring using AI, drones and satellites;
surveillance cameras with facial recognition and self-driving
cars.
Goal 12.
Responsible consumption and production
“Supply-chain
optimization and sustainable consumption
patterns”
Solutions:
– “AI- and IoT-
enabled consumption and production data
analytics”;
– “AI-optimized
logistics and distribution networks to minimize costs,
emissions and waste”;
= Monitor and analyse
everyone’s consumption habits in order to lower each
individual’s carbon footprint.
Goal 13. Climate
action
“Combating
climate change and its impacts”
Solutions:
– “Earth
management big data platform e.g. monitoring carbon
emissions”;
– “Smart and
transparent land-use management”.
= Build a global panopticon
for monitoring all processes of the earth system.
Goal 14. Life below
water
“Conserving and
managing the use of marine habitats and
resources”
Solutions:
– “Habitat
monitoring and analytics (e.g. monitoring pH and pollution)
”;
– “AI-enabled
data platforms to monitor and manage fishing activity and
compliance”.
= Monitor the seas and
penalise those found guilty of illegal activities.
Goal 15. Life on
land
“Protecting and
restoring terrestrial ecosystems”
Solutions:
– “Real-time
habitat and land-use mapping, monitoring and detection of
illegal or adverse activities”;
– “4IR-enabled
wildlife tracking, monitoring, analytics and pattern
forecasting and real-time detection, e.g. disease, animal
capture”.
= Monitor all forests and
penalise those found guilty of illegal activities.
Goal 16. Peace,
justice and strong institutions
“Promoting
peaceful society, building effective
institutions”
Solutions:
– “AI-enabled
identity tax fraud identification (using browsing data, retail
data and payments history)”
– “Blockchain-
enabled citizen loyalty and reward
platforms”.
= Introduce Social Credits
to create obedience to authorities and punish unwanted
behaviours.
In addition, a number of
technologies are listed that are in a developing phase (low
maturity) which could potentially be used to meet the goals.
Here we find, among others:
– Genetic rescue and genome
modification for endangered and extinct species and
resilience;
– Low-cost, low-GHG
emissions synthetic proteins (AI and synthetic biology);
– Decoding well-being and
longevity using AI and sensors for personalized health maps
and sequenced genomes and phenotypic data;
– Gene editing (e.g.
CRISPR) to tackle human diseases driven by gene
mutation.
Goal 17:
Partnerships for the goals
“Building
sustainable global partnerships”
This last goal is not
included in WEFs table of 4IR solutions, but both the UN and
the Group of 20 (G20) are being strengthened at a rapid pace
and the 4IR solutions for each goal that was introduced before
the 2019 G20 Summit are strikingly similar.
Risks of the new
technology
The WEF report
does see some risks with their Brave New World:
“For all of the
enormous potential that scaling Fourth Industrial Revolution
technologies offer for accelerating action to reach the Global
Goals, these technologies also have the potential to
exacerbate many existing societal challenges, and to create
new risks that could hinder the Global
Goals.”
– The AI-led technology
system may act prejudiced and biased.
– It is difficult to
achieve full employment if everything is to be
automated.
– Control and power over
the technology risks being concentrated to a few actors.
“Technology
solutions, including AI, Blockchain, the IoT, cloud services,
5G and quantum computing can consume large amounts of energy
due to the computer processing power required and the number
of operations or sensors feeding into the digital system or
network.”
– The advanced
technological system consumes enormous amounts of
energy.
– AI and computer vision
can be used to find and exploit rare raw materials instead of
protecting nature.
– Electronic scrap from all
the computers, sensors and devices needed for the technology
solution can give rise to environmental pollution.
“In 2021, the
amount of e-waste generated is predicted to grow to 52.2
million tonnes,71 with just 20% formally
recycled.”
– Abuse of the personal
data collected can damage reputation, finances and
security.
– Cyberattacks can cripple
the system.
Other
Warnings
Dirk Helbing, head of the
EU project FuturICT, has for some years warned that a fascist
surveillance state is about to be built, more advanced than
anything ever seen through history. Helbing notes that all
functions that a fascist state may need have already been
implemented digitally or are being implemented, and can be
used on a universal scale at any time.
“We are faced
with the emergence of a new kind of totalitarianism of global
dimensions that must be stopped immediately. An emergency
operation is inevitable, if we want to save democracy,
freedom, and human dignity. (…) Arguments such as
terrorism, cyber threats and climate change have been used to
undermine our privacy, our rights, and our
democracy.”
The sheep have handed the
control of the planet over to the wolves. It is now necessary
to take it back.
Just as the United Nations
has declared the Decade of Action, it is time for all who
stand up for a free humanity to reject the technocratic global
surveillance state which now threatens us all.
