As long as people believe they are in charge of their own societies –
and that militarized empires are necessary to civil society – then the
elites can continue to manage events behind the scenes.
But if
people begin to believe that they are NOT in control, that it is all an
elaborate charade, then the mercantilist control now exercised by the
Anglosphere will gradually fail. Those in charge will have to show the
real face of power, not a healthy prescription in a modern age filled
with angst and anger.
And so these sorts of dominant social
themes will continue to be promoted. We will continue to be informed
that nation states are run by their citizens and that military might and
the empires that wield it are necessary to protect "civilization."
The
problem the elites have to grapple with is that this fundamental meme
is increasingly unpersuasive as time goes by and more and more
information emerges. Maybe that explains the current manic attacks on
the Internet.
As people increasingly discover the truth, those at the top are increasingly desperate to hide it. - Anthony Wile
