Introduction
This work is split into four sections. Firstly, it contains a historical
overview of an increasingly popular 'conspiracy theory' relating to a plot to
turn the Earth into a 'prison planet,' thus chaining us forever to material
desires, a life of simply working and consuming. Secondly, a look at how this
hidden agenda is being kept from us and how we are unwittingly being led into
assisting with its unfoldment. Thirdly, an overall view of how the Prison
Planet is being created. And, finally, and a look at what we can do to stop
it.
People from a wide variety of social and cultural backgrounds are
increasingly willing to take serious the notion that much of what we are
taught of our history is some distance from the truth. In accordance with
classic conspiracy theory beliefs, they believe that the degree of randomness
ascribed to much of what has happened in the last few centuries is excessive.
And that, behind the scenes, a coherent negative force is manipulating the
events of our lives for its own ends.
It is believed that there exists an 'elite cabal' at the apex of banking and
industry, operating through government, and controlling our political, social
and personal lives to ever-increasing degrees. An elite group that has been
pursuing its ambitions for some centuries, and is operating to an agenda
entirely not in our interest. A group that has ruthlessly manipulated the
political landscape with the goal of rendering all humanity under their
centralised control. This being done via a multiplicity of strategies - the
stirring up of unrest within countries, thus fuelling revolution; the
creating of international situations that lead to wars; and the promotion of
globalisation via the technological revolution. A few examples of their work
being - the First World War, the Russian Revolution, the Second World War,
the Cold War, the Vietnam War, and the conflict in Kosovo. The overall
objective of the group being to take the incredibly diverse range of human
cultures existing on Earth and slowly mould them into a single, homogenised
trading and consuming block under their centralised control.
This cabal has further developed its own prototype of world culture -
America. And is now seeking to expand this prototype across the globe, slowly
eliminating a wealth of ancient peoples and beliefs and replacing them with a
standardised, consumerist stereotype. The ultimate goal being to bring about
a single globalised marketplace, controlled by a world government, policed by
a world army, financially regulated by a world bank via a single global
currency, and populated by a microchipped population connected to a global
computer. A computer that both monitors and updates our personal
transactions, and regulates our emotional state via transmitted electrical
signals - technology that already exists.
This ambition of rendering the Earth into a 'prison planet' - a
self-contained interactive structure under total centralised control - is
chiefly being pursued via the elite's activities in two areas - culture and
commerce.
In 'commerce' the elite have created the corporations, the 'vehicles' for the
planet's enslavement. And in 'culture' the elite have created both the
drivers and passengers of those vehicles - us.
By formulating a specific set of childrearing practices intended to render
innately beautiful and loving human beings into emotionally dependent
creatures who will either work for the corporations and need to purchase
their products, or otherwise find themselves sidelined in structures where
they cannot rebel effectively, the elite have created a powerful and ever
expanding control vehicle that progressively draws the entire planet under
their command.
The historical roots of this 'elite cabal' stretch back into the mists of
time. But the development of the modern banking system in Middle Ages Europe
provides a useful starting point for a look at their activities.
Note that in describing the activities of this elitist cabal, I have had to
give them a name, that name usually simply being 'the elite'.
Part One - The World Outside
A Brief History of Banking
"Let me issue and control a nations money and I care not who writes the laws"
- Amshall Rothschild
In the recent era, the story commences with the development of the modern
banking system in Middle Ages Europe. At this time, individuals with personal
assets usually kept them in the form of precious metals - invariably gold or
silver. For safety, these were kept in the vaults of the local goldsmith,
receipts for deposits being issued. Financial transactions would require the
buyer to withdraw his gold and give it to the seller, who would then deposit
it again, frequently with the same goldsmith. This was obviously a
time-consuming process, and so it became common practice for people to simply
exchange receipts when conducting financial transactions. And smiths began to
issue receipts for specific values of gold, thus making buying and selling
easier still. The smiths receipts became the first banknotes.
The goldsmiths, now fledgling bankers, noticed that at any one time only a
small proportion of the gold held with them was being withdrawn. And so they
hit upon the idea of issuing more of the receipt notes themselves, notes that
did not refer to any actual deposited wealth. By giving these receipts to
people seeking capital; in the form of loans, the goldsmiths could thus use
the money deposited with them by others to make money for themselves. It was
found that for every unit of gold held by the smith, ten times the sum could
be issued as notes without anyone usually becoming any the wiser. So, if a
goldsmith held, say, 100 units of other peoples gold in his vaults, he could
issue banknotes to the value of 1000 units! And as long as no more than 10
percent of the holders of those notes wanted their gold at any one time,
no-one would be realise the fraud being perpetrated. This practice, known as
fractional reserve lending, continues to this day and, believe it or not, is
the backbone of the modern banking industry! Banks typically loan ten times
their actual financial holdings, meaning 90% of the money they lend does not
now, never has, and never will exist!
These loans had to be paid back to the goldsmiths with interest, meaning
non-existent money slowly became converted to tangible assets in the form of
goods and labour. And should the loan be defaulted upon, the banker had the
right to seize the defaulters property. As time passed, therefore, the banks
became wealthier and wealthier, for they were allowed to create money out of
thin air and then convert this money to real goods, labour, or property. A
loan of money at 12% interest recouped not merely 12% for the banker, but
112%! As it does to this day.
As the industrial era began, so the potential for exploitation increased
exponentially. The bankers' ability to loan money created out of thin air and
then recoup the loans as tangible assets with interest enabled them to begin
to control whole industries to the point where the worlds of banking and
industry became, to all intents and purposes, a seamless entity; headed
usually by an extended family, and exerting such influence that the various
monarchies and fledgling governments of the time began to seem quite
powerless by comparison. The creation of the banking & industrial elite had
begun.
To still further increase their power and influence, the elite would employ
agent provocateurs to stir up unrest between countries by buying influence
with politicians or advisors to monarchies. And then lend vast sums of money
to the same governments or monarchies so that the resulting wars could be
waged. Any armaments purchased being manufactured by the industrial wing of
the banking-industrial cartel. By regulating the loan of money and the
delivery of weapons to individual nations, so the outcome of any conflict
could effectively be controlled. Monarchies could also be destabilised by
causing poverty within nations and again using agent provocateurs to fuel the
desire for revolution. With such power it was now easy to control the
fledgling governments of Europe and ensure that only those politicians who
would do the will of the elite would come to power.
By periodically restricting the money supply, crashes within the emergent
stock exchanges of the world could easily be engineered. One notable example
being the Wall St Crash of 1929. What the history books don't tell you is
that, in a crash, wealth is not actually destroyed, merely transferred. The
'Crash of '29' allowed the most powerful of the banking and industrial
families to absorb the weaker elements, providing even greater levels of
centralised control. Furthermore, by buying up TV stations and newspapers, so
the mass media was created and controlled, ensuring that only a portrayal of
events that suited the elite's interests would get to public attention.
Government
The vision we're usually given of how political power is manifest in our
society typically runs something like this: Government at the apex; banking,
industry, media and military, as separate entities, beneath; and the people
beneath this. However, a basic independent examination of the history of this
power structure's development is more likely to reveal the following
arrangement: extended family elite groups controlling seemingly separate
fields of banking and industry at the apex; government beneath facilitating
the wishes of this hierarchy; the military or police enforcing those wishes
where necessary; the media beneath portraying the work of the government to
the people as "democracy in action"; and the people beneath this.
>From this it can be seen that the truthful role of government is simply to
facilitate the wishes of the elite group. This notion is reinforced when one
considers that we don't get to actually pick who becomes our political
representative. This task is undertaken by the party hierarchy. Neither do we
get to pick the policies our representative will pursue, this also being
under the control of the party. We just get to vote for representatives of
the various political parties. Furthermore, who gets where in any political
party is entirely controllable by the party. To say this system is open to
abuse is something of an understatement.
America
The creation of the United States of America represents the pinnacle of the
elite's ambitions for world domination. In many ways, the creation of the
United Kingdom, a simple, self-replicating, class-based society, can be
regarded as the elite's first experiment in social control. But it was soon
clear that this excessively repressive regime could never be expanded to form
the basis of a prototype for world culture. And a new front was needed. What
better for this purpose than to set up an entirely new country and allow it
to evolve under your direct guidance and control?
America is therefore, in essence, a prototype for world consumer culture. By
encouraging a broad base of racial groups to settle and develop under their
constant control, the elite have been able to slowly direct the natural
evolution of a form of social order that humans from any background can adapt
to, without a significant number of them becoming sufficiently dissociated to
actually take up arms and overthrow the system. Aided of course by a highly
repressive justice system, backed with the largest prison population on the
planet.
And, now that the technological revolution has facilitated the expression of
American cultural values across the world, America is, in effect, expanding
until the 50 states actually encompass the whole globe, in all but name. Our
planet is slowly becoming America.
America is the ultimate control fantasy - consensual incarceration. Whole
groups of people slowly drawn to believe there's no other way of existing
securely together than to give up their liberty bit by bit, to believe that
true freedom is actually the giving up of freedom.
World War II
The Second World War is probably the most stunning recent example of just how
suspect taught history really is. This conflict, which cost the lives of tens
of millions of people, was entirely manipulated into being by the elite
banking and industrial cartels described above. The question our history
teachers at school were unwilling to answer was "How was it that a country as
utterly bankrupt as Germany in the 20's and 30's could afford to wage full
out European war on so many fronts?"
Hitler rose to power in a country so economically crippled by reparations
from the previous war that going into another should have been inconceivable.
But the banking elite agreed the loan of billions of dollars, and furthermore
set up a vast industrial complex, (much of it I.G.Farben - a Standard Oil
subsidiary), within Germany to manufacture the vast amounts of tanks, planes,
arms and munitions necessary to wage European war. Oil supplies were agreed,
lines of credit extended and the war machine spent nearly a whole decade
churning out weaponry whilst the rest of the country remained in abject
poverty thus fuelling the desire for war. The whole thing was a set-up from
start to finish, as even a cursory examination of history will confirm. And
the millions of deaths that resulted were seen by the elite as a sacrifice
necessary to achieve greater levels of European homogeny and centralised
control.
This war, and the version of it we are taught in school, is merely one of
numerous examples of the way the elite have come to increasingly control our
lives.
The Third World
"Conquered states.....can be held by the conqueror in three different ways.
The first is to ruin them, the second for the conqueror to go and reside
there in person and the third is to allow them to continue to live under
their own laws, subject to a regular tribute, and to create in them a
government of the few who will keep the country friendly to the conqueror." -
Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince.
Here we look at the elite's ambitions in the Southern Hemisphere, or
so-called 'third world'. All across Africa, Southeast Asia and Latin America
the elite have again pursued unrelentingly the ambition of destabilising a
multitude of individual, traditional cultures and creating a series of
homogenised trading blocks. In recent years this task has been undertaken by
the International Monetary Fund, (the IMF), but the story commences many
years before. Colonisation by the European empire builders from the sixteenth
century onwards and the later granting of 'independence' to conquered
territories led slowly to the forging of individual nation states with
central governments. To ensure that the government be a puppet of the elite,
agent provocateurs and dubious Western government agencies worked to displace
any leaders who showed democratic tendencies and replaced them with elite
puppets from local communities and their extended families. To maintain these
hated and corrupt regimes in power, the elite-controlled Western banks lent
vast sums of money to these 'governments' to enable them to form armies,
frequently with foreign troops, and thus prevent the people of the country
from wresting power. In addition, loans were granted to purchase weapons,
(for waging various regional wars stirred up by elite agent provocateurs
using techniques like 'shuttle diplomacy'), and to build immense palaces for
the elite puppets to reside in.
In the early 70's the elite-manipulated Yom Kippur war resulted in a massive
rise in oil prices. The whole world found itself paying vastly increased
rates for petrol, and the resulting massive profits made by the oil-producing
nations were invested back with the elite-controlled Western banks. Relying
on the ever-popular tactic of loaning at least ten times their reserves, the
banks now had insane sums of money to lend. And with the 'third world'
countries compelled to pay vastly increased sums for their oil, as well as
service the debts already incurred by their puppet leaders, further massive
loans were advanced to them in a banking strategy that came to be known as
'petrodollar recycling'. The Western banks would send youthful reps across
the world offering gigantic loans to anyone in power who wanted them. Loans
of money created out of thin air and tied by agreement to the recipient
buying weapons, machinery or goods from industrial or military clients of the
banking cartel offering the money. In the 1980's the bubbles began to burst,
the Mexican debt crisis being the first of many 'days of reckoning'. The
World Bank and the IMF, elite-manufactured organisations created in the 1940s
to 'stimulate the conditions of world trade', now stepped in. They offered
'adjustments' - strategies for repayment that involved the countries
concerned adopting economic 'austerity' programmes and commencing industrial
production of Western goods and consumer products.
To commence industrial production the countries had to take out further loans
and buy plant from - the industrial clients of the banking cartels. And to
generate sufficient power for the new industries they had to hire companies
to build hydroelectric power plants, (usually with dams that required the
expulsion of many local people); or nuclear reactors, (which frequently were
too unsafe to use, notably the Philippines' US$2 billion reactor which never
produced a single watt) - companies that were again the heavy industry
clients of the banking cartels.
The IMF debt rescheduling practices enforced on the countries experiencing
major problems paying back their loans, (problems entirely generated by the
elite via their control of world interest rates and oil prices), compelled
the 'third world' nations, one after another, to commence manufacturing
goods, not for themselves, but for sale on the world markets. Here, in the
emergent global marketplace, they had to compete with each other in a highly
competitive market over which they had no control. Indeed, the only factor in
the IMF equation that the Southern hemisphere countries could control was the
cost of labour. The result being cheaper goods for Western consumers, and
greater poverty for workers in the 'third world'.
All across the Southern hemisphere small farmers were forced away from
planting crops for themselves, and driven to plant crops for export, hoping
they'd get paid enough to survive. In the 80's, runaway inflation stimulated
by Reaganomics in America, (the arrangement of vast loans for US spending on
military and space projects that sent world interest rates skyrocketing),
began to force many local people out of the countryside altogether, and drove
them into the newly created cities where they vied with each other for work
in the newly built factories. Thus leading to the destruction of traditional
ways of life for millions upon millions. Emergent drug cartels, invariably
under the direction of government agencies like the CIA, began to flood the
cities and industrial areas with cheap drugs, hooking those with jobs deeper
into a life of wage slavery. And those without into lifelong street-level
delinquency, fuelling social problems. In addition, grain crops, previously
used for bread, would be diverted to the production of alcohol for the
relocated populations. Social problems unheard of a generation before became
epidemic in proportion all across Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia.
Alcoholism, drug addiction, crime, unemployment, violence against women,
poverty and malnutrition, to name but a few. In Brazil, one of biggest food
exporters in the world, approaching half a million children die annually from
malnutrition or hunger-related diseases.
(Journalists and economists investigating the debt problems of "third world"
countries invariably start by believing that the chaotic and destructive
situation that confronts them has been arrived at simply through the naivety
and greed of the Western banking institutions. And that the IMF, the World
Bank and the elite financial and industrial conglomerates are just being
unrealistic in trying to get their original loans and interest payments back.
Invariably however, at some stage in their research, the truth begins to dawn
on them. They realise that the banks never had any intention of recovering
the money loaned or the interest owed. And that the whole exercise has simply
been undertaken to compel thousands of self-sufficient agricultural
communities to be drawn into industrial wage slavery in the global export
markets).
Meanwhile, in early 90's Europe and the US, the spectre of such Western
capitalist greed proved increasingly disturbing for the people buying the
goods thus created. And so the elite came up with 'green-washing' - the media
driven means by which images of change within the Southern hemisphere are
bombarded upon the Western viewer, convincing them 'the system' is adapting
to moral pressure from Western citizens. News broadcasts accepted that
previous practices had been exploitative but that, post Live Aid and similar,
things were changing and any residual problems were entirely the fault of the
poorer nations themselves or the weather. Something that anyone who has made
even the most primitive study of modern 'third world' politics will know is
quite untrue. The previous 'evil capitalists', the Reagans and Thatchers,
were removed from power and replaced by consumer-friendly mouthpieces of the
elite - the Clintons and the Blairs. On UK TV at the time of writing, one BBC
programme features former Spice Girl, Geri Halliwell, entering the worlds
shanty towns and meeting crowds of poor but happy looking children jumping up
and down. Thus generally promoting the image of gradual change and
improvement. What the programme neglects to reveal is that in many of the
'third world's shanty towns children now have a less than 50% chance of
making it to their first birthday. Infant mortality rates are rising steadily
throughout the Southern hemisphere, despite the efforts of the UN and WHO to
massage the figures. And for those lucky enough to reach the grand old age of
5, the only prospects they have to look forward to is a life of begging,
street crime or child prostitution. There is literally nothing else.
The world's population is currently estimated at around 6 billion people, 3
billion of who are living in poverty. And 1 billion of this group existing at
near starvation level. For the majority of the world's citizens life now is
demonstrably worse than at any time in recorded history.
The Future - Chips with Everything?
So, if there really was a coherent body organising all of this, what would
their motivation be? And, where might all this be leading?
The primary motivation behind all elite activities is the desire for control.
It's the base desire to control everything . To take a vast, dynamic
planet-full of people; different races, different beliefs, different lives;
and render them into a single homogenised unit, under your central control.
This is what truly motivates the elite.
To bring about this highly negative state of affairs, the elite must be
active on two fronts simultaneously - the world outside and the world inside,
the planet and the mind.
In the 'world outside', the objective the elite are working toward is
globalisation, the creation of three vast interlocked markets centred on
America, Europe and Asia, followed by their full integration into a single
trading block. A global marketplace peopled with consumer-workers and
serviced at the lower end via third world debt.
In the 'world inside', the plan is to get all humanity microchipped. For
despite a multiplicity of control tactics currently being imposed on us;
things like mortgages, credit cards, street surveillance systems and
pharmaceutical antidepressants; people still have a basic level of personal
freedom. Though it's getting harder to do so, we can still walk out of
consumerism and embark on a new life. But if we're chipped, this won't
happen. For scientists' knowledge of neuroscience is now such that, by having
a microchip the size of a grain of rice implanted inside our body, we can be
regulated at an emotional level. By gaining control over our body's
receptor-ligand network, our emotional state can be manipulated by electrical
signals, either as a part of a chip's program or via remote signalling. Thus
creating a perfect consumer workforce. Work, buy, procreate, sleep - a life
stripped down to materialism and survival, without any unpleasant emotions to
get in the way.
So, the question for the elite is, how do they get people to get the chips
fitted? And make sure that they aren't removed? For, even though our planet
has advanced considerably along the road to becoming a world consumerist
superstate, most people are still highly resistant to the idea of having a
chip put under their skin. There is therefore a progressive strategy that
will be gradually implemented to lead us, step by step, into permitting this
nightmare future to come about.
It will unfold in three stages. First - the removal of cash. Second - the
placing of all personal and financial data on individual 'smartcards'.
Thirdly, the gradual elimination of smartcards to be replaced by personal
microchips
.
The only way of getting people to accept being chipped is for them to believe
it is necessary. Bank details, credit ratings, employment status and similar
information can all easily be programmed into a chip and updated via remote
signal or by passing it across a reader. Therefore, it is first necessary to
render all money electronic, and to get people to carry around their personal
details on some form of 'smart card' - a credit-card sized device bearing all
the details that they need for daily transactions. Once this is achieved, any
number of problems can be manufactured within the smartcard system such that
people will need to get the chip actually put inside their body if they are
to be able to conduct transactions safely.
Removing cash from our society . For the past twenty years we have been
slowly led towards giving up cash in favour of electronic money. And in the
last ten the heat has been turned up. The increased promotion of credit
cards, phone banking, mail order and internet shopping have all, in part,
helped to bring about a society where the need for cash transactions is
greatly reduced. Yet most people still like carrying cash. More will have to
be done if cash is to be eliminated completely.
One strategy may be the introduction of new, multinational currencies not
available as cash. The Euro, the currency for the European Union, may be such
a thing.
Another likely strategy will be the gradual implementation of 'smart
citizenship' schemes in various European cities. 'Smart citizenship' is one
of a variety of euphemisms now emerging for 'cashless society' and once one
city has been signed up, the so-called benefits will be extensively aired via
the media to encourage others to follow suit. (In April 2000 it was announced
that the UK city of Southampton will host a 'smart citizenship' scheme
commencing 2002.)
Yet another possibility, connected with 'smart citizenship', is that cash
will be removed from our society on the pretext of eliminating the illicit
drug trade. Many cities now have around 1% of their population injecting
heroin daily. (In some UK cities it is approaching 2%). This, along with
crack cocaine usage, is proving a near intolerable social burden for people
who live in the areas affected. Drug-related crime is at an all-time high and
the public increasingly crying out for something to be done. If cash were
eliminated, anonymous illicit transactions for small sums would not be
possible. With electronic money, the identities of the buyer and seller of
any article are recorded on computer, and should a transaction be for an
illicit substance it could be instantly traced. Although illicit drugs come
into our countries in vast shipments, they are nearly all ultimately sold in
small amounts at or near street level. Remove cash and drug dealers could be
instantly traced.
(Reading this, you might well think that removing cash would actually be
quite a good idea if it got rid of the illicit drug trade! But, think a
little deeper. Regardless of the possibility of later being microchipped, do
you really believe our governments are doing all they can about drugs? To
create heroin or cocaine, vast areas of land must be given over to the
cultivation of their plant sources. Thousands of farmers in the more remote
parts of SE Asia and Latin America have to spend their lives cultivating
these crops. Vast tanker loads of precursor chemicals must be shipped into
remote areas to convert the raw coca or opium into cocaine or heroin. And
whole financial networks established to launder the billions of dollars
revenue the trade generates annually. We live in a world where our
governments can mobilise hundreds of thousands of troops to fight a war to
allegedly protect our oil supply, (the Gulf War), yet are apparently
powerless to prevent groups of peasant farmers and third world gangsters from
poisoning our children to death. Sit down and think about it for a moment.
Does it really seem likely? We have satellite tracking systems capable of
locating a single opium poppy growing in a field, and certainly able to
detect an illicit lab manufacturing heroin or cocaine from the plant sources.
There are in fact UN departments fully able to eliminate drugs like heroin
and cocaine at source, via crop-replacement schemes and similar, as was
recently revealed at a major conference in New York attended by some 160
world leaders and their representatives. The United States refused to finance
the plan, and not a word of it was reported in the European media.)
If the 'drug war' is going to be used to assist in the outlawing of cash, one
of the first signs will likely be moves to legalise soft drugs like
marijuana. For the smoking of cannabis is the primary cash-based illicit
activity that people indulge in, and so the prospect of having this pleasure
withdrawn from them would inevitably create considerable opposition to any
plan to outlaw cash. In addition, marijuana legalisation would create the
appearance of policy-softening on behalf of government, when the opposite is
really going on.
Whatever strategies are eventually employed, whilst cash is being eliminated
and the creation of a global society being pursued, there will be an
assortment of 'distraction' tactics used to keep the Western public unaware
of what is really going on. And, simultaneously, 'softening-up' strategies
employed via the media.
The economic system will likely be deliberately manipulated to create a
society in which hard work is seen to go hand in hand with hard play. A high
daily workload backed up with a myriad distractions, soft drugs and diverse
recreational activities creates the feeling of living life to the full and
ensures that there is little time for contemplation of what is really going
on behind it all. And for those who aren't working - crime, hard drugs and
constant media bombardment with images of opulence intended to increase
feelings of lack of self-worth, and to stimulate the desire to succeed.
Another distraction tactic will likely be the promotion of hedonism, via the
constant bombardment of sexually stimulating material through the media, and
the legalisation of soft drugs like cannabis and ecstasy.
The 'softening-up' process will likely proceed via a steady trickle of media
stories relating to microchipping and globalisation. Stories relating how
some scientist says that in the future we won't have to carry wallets around,
it will all be on a chip installed in the wrist. Or tales of how much better
life will be for everyone once we're all one global community. Such stories
will usually make it seem that microchipping and globalisation are
inevitabilities, that they have already been decided.
Once cash has been eliminated from a country or region, by whatever means,
and all money has become electronic, the next step on the road to
microchipping will be taken. People will be increasingly drawn into giving up
the multiplicity of cards they are carrying around; credit cards, bank cards,
ID cards and similar; and have them replaced with a single 'smartcard'. The
'smartcard' will perform all the functions of the other cards, and thus act
as an interface between the holder and the increasingly global superstate.
With the smartcards increasingly in use, and cash gone, what will likely
happen is that problems will suddenly begin to mysteriously occur within the
electronic money system. People will occasionally find their money
disappearing into thin air. Computer errors and fraud within the system will
appear rife.
Throughout this time the 'softening-up' process will have been continuing. By
now, there will likely be whole groups of people within society who have
already been chipped. Criminals, the mentally ill and military personnel
being three likely targets. Chipping will be portrayed as the socially
positive thing to do via a multiplicity of media techniques. And,
furthermore, having your ID and financial records placed on a chip inside
your body will become renowned as the only safe way to keep your records safe
from interference. There may well be encryption technology available on the
personal chip that, for some reason, won't be available on the smartcard. By
now the media will be pushing personal chips frenziedly. Small children will
go missing in high profile cases on the daily news, then be found 'because
they were chipped'. Young peoples TV will be especially targeted. Getting
chipped will be seen as a 'cool' thing to do, with a vast array of different
chip features available to order. Getting chipped will be seen as synonymous
with 'getting ahead' and attracting members of the opposite sex. The media
will spare no effort ensuring that the negative aspects of getting chipped,
such as feeling like a robot, are expelled from our minds.
To still further intensify the drive to get the public chipped, large
corporations will begin to make it a prerequisite for persons working for
them. Likely under the guise of it being their contribution to a creating a
positive society. By this time the multinational corporations of today, big
as they already are, will have been transformed into transnational giants;
astride the world like statues of Colossus; controlling vast sectors of the
earth's resources and meeting them out according to their masters schedule.
(And with a vast and continuous PR job making it all appear completely
consensual). Virtually everything purchased will be from a multinational
corporation, and nearly all employment opportunities will involve working for
one. With cash gone and no way of bringing it back, and the credit card, ID
card and even smartcard systems increasingly falling into disrepair, life
will begin to seem pretty bleak for those persons not chipped. Pretty soon,
not being chipped will effectively mean you are not capable of working for a
regular wage in any but the most menial job. There will of course initially
still be a large black-market operating at varying degrees outside the law
and trading in a wide variety of licit and illicit substances. But, as
chipping proceeds all across Western society, and becomes seen as being as
natural as paying tax, so the State will increasingly make moves to attack
illicit activity. With the moral backing of the microchipped population,
engineered by the media, so those persons not chipped will increasingly be
marginalised in the same way the homeless are now - forced to the edges of
society and left to fend for themselves in an environment of poverty, drug
addiction, sexual exploitation and crime.
And, with chipping now finally accepted as being an integral part of life in
the 21st century, the next stage will be implemented. The introduction of
chips that can regulate aspects of our body's function.
Self regulation of our body and mind will be seen as a new and convenient
means of treating any number of complaints ranging from depression to minor
flesh wounds. No need to take tablets or call up the doctor, just programme
your chip to do it for you. Scientists are now sufficiently knowledgeable
about our body's electrical system and ligand-receptor networks that they can
superficially alter many of our natural emotional functions. By changing the
way our body metabolises serotonin, for example, the symptoms of depression
can be relieved. The problem is that doctors frequently don't understand why
our body is behaving differently. Many scientists believe that things like
depression are themselves merely symptoms of deeper problems that need
addressing.
With chips capable of altering a whole range of neurochemical functions, we
will increasingly have the ability to emotionally self-regulate ourselves.
And there will thus be an inevitable temptation to try and cut negativity
entirely out of our lives, to program ourselves to never feel down. From a
health perspective this could be disastrous for negative emotions are
frequently just symptoms of deeper problems that require attention.
Scientists know the health risks of ignoring what our emotions are trying to
say to us. Trying to block out negativity by altering our body's
neurochemical functioning could lead to the rapid onset of numerous complex
degenerative conditions, the presence of which will likely not be recognised
- until it is too late.
And quite apart from the health aspects, giving people the means to easily
emotionally self-regulate themselves could lead to the 'prozac generation'
becoming global. People will become obsessed with feeling good about
themselves all the time. And anything that threatens to interfere with that
feeling will be ignored. Wars, starvation, political upheavals and global
tyranny will all become just 'other peoples problems'. Nothing to do with us
- until it happens in our own backyard.
And, with nearly everyone in the West using microtechnology to block
negativity, who's going to notice if one day the chips seem to start
regulating themselves? No longer requiring us to actually programme changes
into them, but seemingly doing it all without our help. Thus no longer even
allowing us access to our true feelings if we wanted them.
This nightmare scenario seems like something out of science fiction. But, in
fact, much of the technology has already been developed. The implantable
microchip with global tracking system, Digital Angel, is scheduled to go into
production late 2000. It is powered by human muscle movement and will be
offered to people concerned that they or their loved ones may go missing. And
researchers at the Massachussets Institute of Technology have already
registered patents for implantable chips that can release pharmaceuticals
into the bloodstream. The technology is here, the only question is - how much
persuading will be necessary to make us adopt it? One thing is certain -
everything will be done bit by bit. Step by step, we may be being led into a
place where no-one, if they thought about it, would ever willingly go. And
without means of escape.
