2045 and the Global Future Agenda to Counterfeit Humanity.

So, is the end of human civilization as we know it going to be extinct in less than 32 years? Most of us will still be alive, hopefully, in 2045; therefore, this transformation,  known as the Singularity--the moment when technological change becomes so rapid and profound, it represents a rupture in the fabric of human history, a post-human existence, if you will--should concern the general public about what it implies about our human future while we still have brains in our heads.

The idea that you can upload yourself, your brain, into a computer and become digitally immortal sounds a little batshit, right?  But Ray Kurzweil, director of engineering at Google, stated that's what's going to happen during his conference speech at the Global Futures 2045 International Congress recently. He also claims that the biological parts of our body will be replaced with mechanical parts and this could happen as early as 2100. I guess the idea is to kill oneself the moment our brain uploads.  Heaven's Gate, anyone? 

That's right. The director of engineering at Google is planning to put all of our brains into robot avatars and all of his pals--most of the global elite--think that's the best idea since sliced bread.  Of course, they do. Think of all the money they'll save when  corporations can replace human beings with robot avatars (see video below).  What they don't understand--or maybe they do, they just hope that we don't--is they can't transfer our souls into these robots.

We are certainly being conditioned to this Orwellian end. I know I spend far too much time on the Internet, in this virtual world that often displaces the real one.  The illusion of freedom lures me in and makes me feel I can go anywhere I want, explore anything I want.   I'm sorry but, often times, the real world kind of pales in comparison. The sad thing is, I'm aware of this dangerous illusion, yet I still capitulate, whereas children raised in the virtual world--television, video games, iPhones, Internet, etc--since birth will embrace this Orwellian technology without question, and with open arms as adults. They will know nothing else.

So yes, I'm fully aware that I'm using a Google platform to bash Google, that I'm using the technology that's enslaving us to preach about our technological enslavement, that everything I post can be traced back to me. I feel like one of those self-righteous evangelicals who preach on the evils of sex, drugs and rock 'n roll, at the same time they're banging the drugged out rock 'n roller down the hall. However, I justify it by telling myself I'm taking advantage of this technology while I still can, before they either shut if off or make it so the only thing that's accessible is intelligence collecting social network sites. I tell myself that this is where I discovered I was not educated, but indoctrinated, rationalizing that I'd rather use their technology to educate myself and the occasional other who might accidentally land here.  That's what I tell myself.

Back to the Singularity.  It is being sold as this ulta-cool utopia, as part of our inevitable evolutionary path that will one day make gods out of men. What they don't tell you is that this only applies to the technocratic elite. They don't tell you that the world will be divided between the super-human "gods" and the poor pitiful slaves who can't afford to transform themselves into Nietzsche's Übermensch (overman).  They conveniently leave that part out.

Without question, we've been heading in the direction of the soul-killing commoditization of human-beings for a very long time as we've been led to embrace scientism through materialistic reductionism as the only avenue to truth.  It's just now that we have the technology to make this Orwellian agenda real.  Sold as "cool", but in reality, creepy, here are a few tidbits that will no doubt effect our future as human beings: Biometrics at a distance (sense your heartbeat through a wall); algorithms that predict your next move;  brain-link, controlling your brain through the Internet; autonomous humanoid robots, and/or, robots with real brains;  Pentagon's Project Avatar, robotic soldiers; Narrative Networks, high-tech, chemically enhanced propaganda; the embryonic LifeLog program; and electronic tattoos and ingested pills that make you a walking password.

Former DARPA (gave birth to the Internet) head, Regina Dugan, now the leader for special projects for Motorola, a Google subsidiary, came out with her electronic tattoo, an RFID bar code,  that can be used to authenticate oneself, not to mention a pill that can be ingested and then battery-powered by digestive acids to make one's whole body a password.  As she said, “your entire body becomes your authentication token.” Mark of the beast, anyone?

And let's not forget smart dust and/or neural dust. These nano-particles embed themselves in your brain, functioning as an MRI inside your brain. In other words, "tiny implantable sensors could function like an MRI inside the brain, recording data on nearby neurons and transmitting it back out." Tinfoil hats, anyone?

Will we willfully choose such an evolutionary direction? Will self-aware machines evolve before humans become self-aware?  Oh, we are already self-aware?  Sorry, my bad.

Intelligent neural dust embedded in the brain could be the ultimate brain-computer interface

IARPA (Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity)   , a little-known U.S. government organization, is developing analytic programs for the National Security Agency that could make recent revelations about the NSA’s activities look antiquated by comparison. Rather than reviewing archival data, it may use current data to predict the future.

We'll be uploading our entire MINDS to computers by 2045 and our bodies will be replaced by machines within 90 years, Google expert claims

Ender's Game, Army Crack and The Game That Became Real

The $67 billion video game industry now generates more than twice as much as the Hollywood's box office. In fact, video games are inspiring Hollywood movies rather than the other way around. Good news for the gaming industry, bad news for our future as human beings. Why? Well, simply put, the "Playstation mentality" in modern warfare. In an age where almost anyone can be taught to use a joystick and fly unmanned aircraft capable of taking out large groups of people using remote control, being raised on video games like "Call of Duty" or "Halo" are literally training and desensitizing these children to the blood and guts-- a trophy in "Call of Duty: Black Ops: Declassified," requiring the player to earn 3 stars in each Operation--of warfare.

Take the futuristic tale, Ender's Game, a "science fiction" novel by Orson Scott Card, where government agencies breed child geniuses and train them as soldiers in an artificial or virtual community of young boys, aged 5-12-years old. The ultimate agenda is to create military leaders, some might even say genocidal dictator superheroes, albeit, with "good" intentions, who will, one day,  save the Earth from an alien enemy.  The problem with this sci-fi novel is that the ultimate sacrifice is made: all the qualities that make us human, and separate us from not only animals, but machines. Unfortunately, this book is not unique. The negation or degradation of that which makes us human is a theme that permeates pop culture today.

Remember, it is said that the most dangerous "soldiers" are child soldiers, more specifically, 6-year old boys with guns. Why? Guns are toys to 6-year old boys, and "killing" people is fun because they have not yet grasped the finality of death. So immersing them into a virtual reality of "kill or be killed" will almost certainly prepare them for the military, making it much easier to condition these young men to kill, especially when situated 7,000 miles away, in what appears more like a theater of war, where the victims are reduced to the status of players in a video game, shielded from the dismembered body parts in the aftermath of strikes, rather than plunged into the blood and guts warfare of the front line.

In a nutshell, movies, books, television, and most disturbingly of all, violent video games, condition concepts of profit, status, technology/technological development, violence, and/or anything that defines our materialistic, scientific world trumps humanity every time.

Army crack

"You don't have to be a qualified fighter jet pilot anymore to be allowed to fly these things - or an officer. Thousands of young enlisted soldiers - many as young as 18 - are being trained to fly these aerial vehicles and the US military just can't get enough of them.

"Is it a bit like playing a video game?" I asked as I handled the joystick. It is they admitted - although everyone was at pains to stress that doesn't mean they don't take their job seriously.

Even the trainer admitted its easier to teach the "video game generation" and told me that all those hours they'd spent in their bedrooms - being nagged by their mothers to do something more productive - was now paying off.

"Is it a bit like playing a video game?"

The US military are now so addicted to the use of these drones they call them "army crack". One hit and you are hooked they say. Ground forces now don't want to leave their bases in Iraq and Afghanistan without those "eyes in the sky" above their heads.

So is "Ender's Game" really science-fiction? Maybe when it was written, but certainly not now. The book’s premise—that training children for war through  playing video games —has left the realm of science fiction and has,  in fact,  become a reality.

Is The Island of Dr. Moreau a Reality?

In 1896, H. G. Wells wrote the novel, The Island of Dr. Moreau about a shipwrecked man rescued by a passing boat who is left on the island home of Doctor Moreau, who creates sentient beings from animals via vivisection. 100 years later it was made into a movie. 10 years later, it's become a reality.  This man obviously possessed an amazing sense of things to come, because almost 120 years later, it is certain that the island in Wells imagination, if it doesn't exist already, will exist in the near future.

In 2009, reuters asked the following questions in an article entitled, Scientists want debate on animals with human genes.

"A mouse that can speak? A monkey with Down's Syndrome? Dogs with human hands or feet? British scientists want to know if such experiments are acceptable, or if they go too far in the name of medical research.

Two years later, The Academy of Medical Sciences is calling for an international regulatory commission to oversee the creations they call Animals Containing Human Material (ACHM). Included within the ACHM classification are non-human primates (NHP). In other words, human-hybrids.

This report claims that "such approaches are long established" and that "thousands of different ACHM been used in biomedical research."  Furthermore, they claim, ACHM are used to study human biological functions or disease that cannot be accurately modeled; where experiments using humans are considered infeasible or considered unethical; and where modification of an animal's body makes it more closely represent that of a human."  The report concludes that the majority of ACHM research does not pose ethical or regulatory difficulties, but identifies 3 areas that will need careful oversight in future:

• Modification of an animal’s brain which might lead to human-like cognition;
• Changing an animal so it has human appearance or characteristics (e.g. skin, facial or limb features, speech); and the
• Development of human-derived sperm or eggs in an animal (especially if fertilization may occur).

The day after this study was published,  the Daily Mail reported on two of the tens of thousands of laboratories around the world conducting these types of experiments in secret.

"Scientists in British labs have created over 150 human-animal hybrid embryos in the past three years, which has caused concern that led to a call for major oversight from the Academy of Medical Sciences over animals containing human materials (ACHM).

Justifying these experiments with "cures for everything" is at the very least, disingenuous, when not only hasn't there been cures for anything in the last century, the rate of disease has increased 4000%. More than likely, the reason has much more to do with engineering the super soldier.

DARPA has millions of dollars allocated toward editing the DNA of our soldiers on the battlefield. From Darpa’s Lab-Grown Blood to turning humans into batteries to bullet-proof skin created using "goat's milk packed with spider-silk proteins, according to news reports. Their hope is that they can eventually replace the keratin in human skin -- which makes it tough -- with the spider-silk proteins."  Well, it just so happens that scientists are discovering a plausible explanation for the clinical and microscopic findings in Morgellons disease is connected to the hyper production of keratin.  Could it be that Morgellons is the result of the pentagon's endeavor to make human skin bullet-proof? Can you imagine what will happen should they re-engineer human skin  using genes from goats and spiders?  Why not? In 2010, DARPA invested over $6 million in order to create “synthetic organisms” that can live forever — or can be killed with the flick of a molecular switch.

From Timenolonger:

Julian Huxley, brother of Aldous who authored Brave New World, first used this word: Transhumanism. Huxley was a member of the British Eugenics Society, eugenics being the foundation of Transhumanism.

Eugenics is a science dedicated to a Darwinist philosophy applied to humanity, that the strong should thrive and evolve, while the weak are culled and eradicated.

Eugenics rests on a necessity of there being superior and inferior genetic pools in the human population. It might be very socially unacceptable to speak publicly of there being some races, ethnic or cultural groups who are inferior to the rest, yet in secrecy this is exactly what elite Eugenicists believe.

The public is guided to love the idea of Transhumanism by being persuaded that it is not a goal attached to race or ethnicity, but simply a means of bettering all of humanity. This is quite untrue.

Elite Transhumanists have no desire to “evolve” all humankind, their goal is one which seeks to advance only their own bloodlines and to leave the rest in disadvantage to them so that these unfortunate ones have no choice but to become their slaves, their lab animals and their labor force.

“The lowest strata are reproducing too fast. Therefore… they must not have too easy access to relief or hospital treatment lest the removal of the last check on natural selection should make it too easy for children to be produced or to survive; long unemployment should be a ground for sterilisation.” - Julian Huxley

The elite, as they are wrongly called, are blood relations of one another, descending from the hybrid tyrants who ruled in result of this same Transhumanist philosophy pre-flood.

Post Humanity: Unlimited Supply of Humans in Labs.

Scientists will soon be able to create an unlimited supply of humans in the lab.  We already know stem cells can differentiate into any cell, potentially replacing neurons, islet cells, kidney cells and more. However, now, lab-grown egg cells could revolutionize fertility - and even banish menopause. That's right. The The first human egg cells that have been grown entirely in the laboratory from stem cells could be fertilized later this year.

The first human eggs grown from human stem cells could be fertilized with human sperm cells later this year, potentially adding one more peg in the ladder toward reproduction sans human interaction. In this case it would entirely bypass a woman's donation of her eggs. But it could also turn stem cells into an infinite loop, of egg cells into embryos into stem cells, and on and on, in a fractal-like repetition of reproduction.

So, that means they are going to create a human being, right? Okay, for some, a zygote, or embryo. What will they do with this "being" after they create it? Well, I believe the plan is to either freeze it or destroy it. And for what? Menopause is part of the natural cycle. Women cannot have children after a certain age, and for good reason.

Technotronic Society: Living to 1,000 Years Old and Technological Feudalism.

The "technetronic" society - "a society that is shaped culturally, psychologically, socially, and economically by the impact of technology and electronics—particularly in the area of computers and communications." that Zbigniew Brzezinski predicted in his book, Between Two Ages : America's Role in the Technetronic Era is here.  In this book, he argued that in order to prevent global instability from emerging from economic equality, developed nations would have to come together to coordinate policy.  In other words, a new world order.

It's interesting to note that two years prior to writing the book, "Between Two Ages", Brzezinski wrote an article called "America in the Technetronic Age" for the CIA-funded publication , "Encounter Magazine" which is no longer published, of which he wrote:.

"At the same time, the capacity to assert social and political control over the individual will vastly increase. As I have already noted, it will soon be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and to maintain up-to-date, complete files, containing even most personal information about the health or personal behaviour of the citizen, in addition to more customary data.

These files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities. This will encourage tendencies through the next several decades toward a technotronic era, a dictatorship, leaving even less room for political procedures as we know them.

Finally, looking ahead to the end of the century, the possibility of biochemical mind control and genetic tinkering with man, including beings which will function like men and reason like them as well, could give rise to some difficult questions". - Zbigniew Brzezinski, "America in the Technetronic Age" The Encounter. January, 1968

There is no doubt that humanity is on the cusp of developing the capacity to transcend itself, creating a superior life-form that will transcend human limits. This, hands down, is the biggest challenge to society in this new age...actually,  in the history of humankind, this potential ability to transform man into Nietzsche's "Overman" (Übermensch), essentially, god-men.

According to gerontologist Aubrey de Grey the person who lives to be 1,000 years-old has already been born. This should raise the question, who gets to live to be 1,000-years old? Because, surely, this only applies to those who can afford to live that long. We can't even deal with the extended life span of baby boomers, most of which will not even make it to 100 years!  Not to mention, our current materialistic value system, where, as Martin Luther King said, "machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people", makes the likelihood of an extension of even 50 years very problematic for the 99%.

The exploitative transnational elites.

And unfortunately, from what we've seen thus far, the maxim, 'power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, is absolutely true. Not so long ago, the manifestation of this maxim was clearly seen in Nazi Germany, which one can argue, lurks beneath the surface of our current political power structure. Truth be told, a covert system of eugenics and classism is already in place.  Granted, this system cannot be compared to Hitler's system; however, the less money, the less white, the less power and status you have, the less likely it is that you will receive health care,  or have the resources needed to extend your lifespan.   However, now that we're face to face with the prospect of people living 1,000 years, to be sure, the emergence of a bolder, in your face techno-eugenics system of mass control and technological feudalism/classism is all but inevitable. That is, if left in the hands of the exploitative, transnational elites, which, of course, it will be..

In 1958, Aldous Huxley wrote in Brave New World Revisited, “The future dictator’s subjects will be painlessly regimented by a corps of highly trained social engineers.” He quotes an advocate of this new science: "The challenge of social engineering in our time is like the challenge of technical engineering 50-years ago. If the first half of the twentieth century was the era of technical engineers, the second half may well be the era of social engineers." He then went on to say, “The twenty-first century, I suppose, will be the era of World Controllers, the scientific caste system and Brave New World.”

As Brzezinski noted, "in the industrial age, the introduction of the machine was the beginning of utopia; for others it meant the unleashing of evil".  In the technotronic age, the introduction of transhumanism is the beginning of utopia; for the great majority it means the potential unleashing of an evil that most cannot imagine.

"Human life is reduced to real suffering, to hell, only when two ages, two cultures and religions overlap. . . .There are times when a whole generation is caught in this way between two ages, two modes of life, with the consequence that it loses all power to understand itself and has no standard, no security, no simple acquiescence." —Herman Hesse, Steppenwolfe

Avoiding Global Collapse: The Cyborg Solution

Is the solution to our problems, a machine vision of the world? A self-organizing model, based on an underlying order of nature - that was completely disproved in 1981 - and taken from the cold and logical world of machines, where humans are reduced to mechanistic nodes? Or, has the environmental movement been hijacked by "right winged think tanks" and "cold war technocrats" who were using the balance of nature as a political trick? In other words, is this idea of the "balance of nature", "equilibrium" "web of life" "self-regulating Eco-system" an attempt by the powerful to maintain the status quo?

The Death of Humility: Becoming God.

Is there an esoteric agenda that we, the mostly complacent white people (marginalized minorities - especially poor blacks - are already well aware of the diabolical nature of those in charge as they have been their targets for centuries), are helping to forward in absolute ignorance? Could it be that "transhumanism" - a term coined by Julian Huxley, a prominent eugenicist - upon closer inspection, is really a repackaged form of eugenics? After all, both transhumanism and eugenics seek to breed better human beings, and desire to perfect humanity through science.

“Initially, however, the greatest advantages will go to those who have the resources, the skills, and the willingness to learn to use new tools. One can speculate that some technologies may cause social inequalities to widen. For example, if some form of intelligence amplification becomes available, it may at first be so expensive that only the wealthiest can afford it. The same could happen when we learn how to genetically enhance our children. Those who are already well off would become smarter and make even more money. This phenomenon is not new. Rich parents send their kids to better schools and provide them with resources such as personal connections and information technology that may not be available to the less privileged. Such advantages lead to greater earnings later in life and serve to increase social inequalities.”

Scientism, the religion of the future, is the practice of science as religion, and is currently the religion of the elites, whether they admit to it or not. Achieving "godhood" is their ultimate goal and if history has anything to say about it,  this envisioned “technotopia” will be off-limits to the masses.

Non – biological intelligence is growing exponentially, while biological intelligence is not growing at all. Does this mean that one day machines will have consciousness? Will rule us?

At the dawn of the third millennium, we face the possibility of fully merging man and machine, radically changing mankind as we know it. Technology is about to take over the torch of history and guide us into a new era with the goal of transcending human limits and creating a more evolved species. This begs the question, what will happen to human beings? Like the Neanderthals, will human beings become a fossil of history? Or, will the new evolved species enslave human beings?
