In the 2007-2008 financial meltdown, it was so-called 'derivative' market that almost toppled the world. Derivatives are bets on future market or economic behavior and loose no consequences until certain triggers are pulled. Estimates of the size of the derivatives market are in the quadtrillions.
As a Technocracy, it is no surprise that China would summarily wipe out any and all competition for its own central bank issued currency. Secondly, this is a form of capital controls because many citizens were moving their wealth offshore with Bitcoin and Ether. That avenue is now closed.
The writer, Thomas Knapp, is director and senior news analyst at the William Lloyd Garrison Center for Libertarian Advocacy Journalism. He is spot on to see the so-called pandemic as a direct outcome of Technocracy, and concludes, "the technocrats exercised their power abusively — and ineffectually too boot. It’s time to take that power away."
LSE is a leading academic driver of globalization, and has scheduled a course on historic Technocracy for the period of 1914-1945. These were the formative years leading to modern Technocracy. Not surprisingly, Technocracy Rising: The Trojan Horse of Global Transformation and Technocracy: The Hard Road to World Order do not appear on the reading list.
An increasing number of people are waking up to the fact that Technocracy is a clear and present danger and that it intends to create a scientific dictatorship. Further, Technocracy is the mortal enemy of all citizen-involved political systems such as a Constitutional Republic in America.
With modern technology, this is only achievable through the IoT, which has more recently been termed the "Internet of Everything" (IoE) to include humans among the inanimate "things". It is unlikely that Nodle will change the world of IoT to a large extent, but it demonstrates the wide-spread development efforts of Technocrats to fulfill the oft-stated adage, "whatever can be connected, will be connected".
“It’s a fable driven by hope, not science, and when the investors finally realize this the market will collapse.” Lab grown meat is a fairy tail that has no more chance of saving the world than does windmills or solar panels. The overblown hype of science-can-do-anything is due for a comeuppance and none too soon before these unbridled Technocrats destroy civilization.
Privacy groups from the left and right are rightly concerned over the meteoric rise of ubiquitous surveillance and monitoring systems like those produced at Shadowdragon. At the click of a button, over 120 online platforms are scoured for personal data, presenting your personal networks, locations, activities, psychological profiles, etc. Police departments are primary sales targets and it's spreading like wildfire.
Students at LSU are doubly punished for daring to opt out of Covid injections for any reason: 1) they are kicked out all of their class enrollments, banned from campus and 2) they are fined 50 percent of their tuition. This will likely not survive a legal challenge, but school tyranny across America is increasing at a meteoric rate.
Pfizer is under exclusive contract with Israel to conduct a giant lab experiment for its mRNA gene therapy injections, meaning that Pfizer is in control of injection policy, not Israel. Among the fully-vaccinated, cases and deaths are skyrocketing. In the face of disaster, Pfizer's Technocrats respond: More booster shots!
