Today, we are witnessing the nudging (manipulation) of the population to accept a \u2018new normal<\/em>\u2019 based on a climate emergency narrative, restrictions on movement and travel, programmable digital money, \u2018pandemic preparedness<\/em>\u2019 courtesy of the World Health Organization\u2019s tyrannical pandemic treaty, unaccountable AI and synthetic \u2018food\u2019.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Whether it involves a \u2018food transition\u2019, an \u2018energy transition\u2019, 15-minute cities or some other benign-sounding term, all this is to be determined by a supranational \u2018stakeholder\u2019 elite with ordinary people sidelined in the process. An undemocratic agenda designed to place restrictions on personal liberty, marking a dramatic shift towards authoritarianism.<\/p>\n

In the 1980s, to help legitimise the deregulation-privatisation neoliberal globalisation agenda, government and media instigated an ideological onslaught, driving home the primacy of \u2018free enterprise\u2019, personal rights and responsibility and emphasising a shift away from the role of the state, trade unions and the collective in society.<\/p>\n

We are currently seeing another ideological shift: personal rights and freedoms are said to undermine the wider needs of society and the planet \u2013 in a stark turnaround \u2013 personal freedom is now said to pose a threat to national security, public health or the climate.<\/p>\n

As in the 1980s, this messaging is being driven by an economic impulse. This time, the collapsing neoliberal project.<\/p>\n

In the UK, poverty is increasing in two-thirds of communities, food banks are now a necessary part of life for millions of people and living standards are plummeting. Indeed, the poorest families are enduring a \u2018frightening<\/em>\u2019 collapse in living standards, resulting in life-changing and life-limiting poverty.<\/p>\n

In the US, around 30 million low-income people are on the edge of a \u2018hunger cliff\u2019 as a portion of their federal food assistance is taken away.<\/p>\n

In 2021, it was estimated that one in eight children were going hungry in the US. Small businesses are filing for bankruptcy in the US at a record rate.<\/p>\n

The Bank of England\u2019s chief economist, Huw Pill, says that people should \u2018accept\u2019 being poorer. This is similar to the response of Rob Kapito, co-founder of the world\u2019s biggest asset management firm, BlackRock. In 2022, the unimaginably rich and entitled Kapito said that a \u201cvery entitled<\/em>\u201d generation of (ordinary working) people who have never had to sacrifice would soon have to face shortages for the first time in their lives.<\/p>\n

While business as usual prevails in Kapito\u2019s world of privilege and that of major arms, energy, pharmaceuticals and food companies, whose megarich owners continue to rake in massive profits, Kapito and Pill tell ordinary people to get used to poverty and the \u2018new normal\u2019 as if we are \u2018all in it together\u2019 \u2013 billionaires and working class alike. They conveniently use covid and the situation in Ukraine as cover for the collapsing neoliberalism.<\/p>\n

But this is part of the hegemonic agenda that seeks to ensure that the establishment\u2019s world view is the accepted cultural norm. And anyone who challenges this world view \u2013 whether it involves, for instance, questioning climate alarmism, the \u2018new normal<\/em>\u2019, the nature of the economic crisis, the mainstream covid narrative or the official stance on Ukraine and Russia \u2013 is regarded as a spreader of misinformation and the \u2018enemy within<\/em>\u2019.<\/p>\n

Although the term \u2018enemy within<\/em>\u2019 was popularised by Margaret Thatcher during the miners\u2019 strike in 1984-85 to describe the striking miners, it is a notion with which Britain\u2019s rulers have regarded protest movements and uprisings down the centuries. From the Peasants\u2019 Revolt in 1381 to the Levellers and Diggers in the 17th century, it is a concept associated with anyone or any group that challenges the existing social order and the interests of the ruling class.<\/p>\n

John Ball, a radical priest, addressed the Peasants\u2019 Revolt rebels with the following words:<\/p>\n

\u201cGood friends, matters cannot go well in England until everything be held in common; when there shall be neither vassals nor lords; when the lords shall be no more masters than ourselves<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The revolt was suppressed. John Ball was captured and hung, drawn and quartered. Part of the blood-soaked history of the British ruling class.<\/p>\n

Later on, the 17th-century Diggers movement wanted to create small, egalitarian rural communities and farm on common land that had been privatised by enclosures.<\/p>\n

The 1975 song \u2018The world Turned Upside Down<\/em>\u2019 by Leon Rosselson commemorates the Diggers. His lyrics describe the aims and plight of the movement. In Rosselson\u2019s words, the Diggers were dispossessed via theft and murder but reclaimed what was theirs only to be violently put down.<\/p>\n

Covid Noncompliance Now Labeled Top \u2018Terror Threat\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Little surprise then that, in the 1980s, Margaret Thatcher used the state machinery to defeat the country\u2019s most powerful and trade union and the shock troops of the labour movement, the National Union of Mineworkers \u2013 \u2018the enemy within<\/em>\u2019. She needed to do this to open the gates for capital to profit from the subsequent deindustrialisation of much of the UK and the dismantling of large parts of the welfare state.<\/p>\n

And the result?<\/p>\n

A hollowed-out, debt-bloated economy, the destruction of the social fabric of entire communities and the great financial Ponzi scheme \u2013 the \u2018miracle\u2019 of deregulated finance \u2013 that now teeters on the brink of collapse, leading the likes of Kapito and Pill to tell the public to get ready to become poor.<\/p>\n

And now, in 2023, the latest version of the \u2018enemy within<\/em>\u2019 disseminates \u2018misinformation<\/em>\u2019 \u2013 anything that challenges the official state-corporate narrative. So, this time, one goal is to have a fully controlled (censored) internet.<\/p>\n

For instance, US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) recently awarded Accrete a contract for Argus to detect disinformation threats from social media. Argus is AI software that analyses social media data to predict emergent narratives and generate intelligence reports at a speed and scale to help neutralise viral disinformation threats.<\/p>\n

Accrete AI is a leading dual-use enterprise AI company. It deployed its AI Argus software for open-source threat detection with the US Department of Defense in 2022.<\/p>\n

In a recent press release, Prashant Bhuyan, founder and CEO of Accrete, boasts:<\/p>\n

\u201cVirtual communication networks are widely recognised as an unregulated environment where adversaries routinely exploit reasoning vulnerabilities and manipulate behaviour through the intentional spread of disinformation. USSOCOM is at the tip of the spear in recognising the critical need to identify and analytically predict social media narratives at an embryonic stage before those narratives evolve and gain traction. Accrete is proud to support USSOCOM\u2019s mission<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u200dThis is about predicting wrong think on virtual communication networks. But control over the internet is just part of a wider programme of establishment domination, surveillance and dealing with protest and dissent.<\/p>\n

The recent online article How the Government Weaponizes Surveillance to Silence Its Critics<\/em> notes that, on any given day, the average person in the US is monitored, spied on and tracked in more than 20 different ways.<\/p>\n

The authors of the article ask us to consider some of the ways the US government is weaponizing its surveillance technologies to flag citizens as a threat to national security, whether or not they have done anything wrong \u2013 from flagging citizens as a danger based on their feelings, phone and movements to their spending activities, social media activities, political views and correspondence.<\/p>\n

The elite has determined that the existential threat is you. The article Costs of War: Peterloo<\/em>, written by UK Veterans for Peace member Aly Renwick, details the history of the brutal suppression of protesters by Britain\u2019s rulers. He also strips away any notion that some may have of a benign, present-day ruling elite with democratic leanings. The leopard has not changed its spots.<\/p>\n

As we saw during covid, the thinking is that hard-won rights must be curtailed, freedom of association is reckless, free thinking is dangerous, dissent is to be stamped on, impartial science is a threat and free speech is deadly. Government is \u2018the truth<\/em>\u2019, Fauci (or some similar figure) is \u2018the science<\/em>\u2019 and censorship is for your own good.<\/p>\n

None of this was justified. It only begins to make sense if we regard the covid restrictions in terms of trying to deal with an economic crisis by closing down the global economy under cover of a public health crisis.<\/p>\n

The economic crisis is making many people poorer, so they need to be controlled, monitored and subjugated.<\/p>\n

The transitions mentioned at the start of this article along with the surveillance agenda (together known as the \u2018Great Reset\u2019) are being accelerated at this time of economic crisis when countless millions across the West are being impoverished. The collapsing financial system is resulting in an interrelated global debt, inflation and \u2018austerity\u2019 crisis and the biggest transfer of wealth to the rich in history.<\/p>\n
