"They Would Never Do That..."
On the Contrary, They Will Do That, They Do Do That, And Here's How They Do That Right Under Your Nose
When I started my “awakening” process almost a decade ago, I stumbled across the field of psychology. Before the 1800s and the rise of the elite class, psychology and the sciences didn’t play much of a role in everyday life. Before industrialization, families and societies were essentially left to their own, but it wasn’t until industrialization and the formation of cities that our culture and humanity began to change.

This shift is the premise of my book because I do not think an in-depth enough analysis has been done on how humanity has changed since industrialization. For example, the phenomenon of boredom did not exist until big cities came about. Before this, there was no such thing as there was always plenty of work to do. However, when that work is now limited to only the factory, individuals do not have time to work on other areas of their lives, families, etc., and are “bored” since there is nothing else to do.
We’re only a couple hundred years from the dawn of industrialization. As I studied the effects of the last two hundred years, I discovered that thanks to the gathering of the masses, techniques were needed to control the population for the benefit of the ruling class. Never in human history were that many humans gathered in one place. If you can manipulate the minds and actions of these individuals, you can guide humanity towards a desired course. This junction is where psychology and the sciences come into play.

Here, we come across the Machiavellian characters: those who understand the era’s power shift and choose to side themselves with the elite as long as they are on the winning side. I’ve mentioned Huxley and Orwell in this class before, but today, I would like to focus on another class member, Bertrand Russell.

Interestingly, as I used ChatGPT to find the quote from Russell, ChatGPT informed me that it could not find the following passage where Russell states that “snow is black.” This incident is a sign that these AI resources, while very effective, can also be used to erase history and reframe specific characters in a positive light.

So, without further ado, here’s an article on the Machiavellian character known as Bertrand Russell as he explains to us just how easy it is to manipulate an entire populace of society.
Bertrand Russell — The Impact Of Science On Society
by Mike Robinson | Monday, 1st March 2010
"I don't believe they would do it!"
How many times have we heard that from people who cannot suspend their disbelief long enough to look objectively at the possibility that the monied elites and their political puppets are willing to do anything to meet their policy objectives?
Rather than attempt to persuade the reader of that fact, I'm going to let Bertrand Russell do it for me.
Who was Bertrand Russell?
According to Wikipedia, Russell was a very nice upstanding man indeed, a "British philosopher, logician, mathematician, historian, socialist, pacifist and social critic," no less.
In fact, Russell was descended from an old establishment family. He was a propagandist, whose job it was to propogate certain ideas in the service of the monied elites. He was instrumental in the project to wreck European and American culture through his chairmanship of the CIA sponsored Congress for Cultural Freedom. Far from being a pacifist, he was a promoter of the policy of Mutually Assured Destruction and was the founder of the Pugwash movement which used the spectre of Cold War nuclear annihilation to push for world government. He was a racist and promoter of population reduction. He was a Fabian socialist, and a Multhusian ideologue, along with fellow Coefficients Club member and one world government promoter H.G. Wells. He was a significant figure in the agenda to bring about what is now known as the "New World Order." He was, contrary to the Wikipedia portrayal, a thoroughly evil man.
Impact Of Science On Society
In 1952, Russell published a seminal work, The Impact Of Science On Society. As is typical of Russell, the writing style is dull, at least in the beginning. The beginning of the book seems reasonable and humanitarian, and is intended to soften the reader up for the disgusting conclusions which are presented as desirable or inevitable.
So without further ado, I will present the following quotes from the book, and leave it to you, the reader, to decide how much of the conspiracy is already in place.
Pages 40-41
I think the subject which will be of most importance politically is mass psychology ... Its importance has been enormously increased by the growth of modern methods of propaganda. Of these the most influential is what is called 'education.' Religion plays a part, though a diminishing one; the press, the cinema, and the radio play an increasing part ... It may be hoped that in time anybody will be able to persuade anybody of anything if he can catch the patient young and is provided by the State with money and equipment.
The subject will make great strides when it is taken up by scientists under a scientific dictatorship ... The social psychologists of the future will have a number of classes of school children on whom they will try different methods of producing an unshakable conviction that snow is black. Various results will soon be arrived at. First, that the influence of home is obstructive. Second, that not much can be done unless indoctrination begins before the age of ten. Third, that verses set to music and repeatedly intoned are very effective. Fourth, that the opinion that snow is white must be held to show a morbid taste for eccentricity. But I anticipate. It is for future scientists to make these maxims precise and discover exactly how much it costs per head to make children believe that snow is black, and how much less it would cost to make them believe it is dark gray.
Although this science will be diligently studied, it will be rigidly confined to the governing class. The populace will not be allowed to know how its convictions were generated. When the technique has been perfected, every government that has been in charge of education for a generation will be able to control its subjects securely without the need of armies or policemen.
Pages 49-50
Scientific societies are as yet in their infancy ... It is to be expected that advances in physiology and psychology will give governments much more control over individual mentality than they now have even in totalitarian countries. Fitche laid it down that education should aim at destroying free will, so that, after pupils have left school, they shall be incapable, throughout the rest of their lives, of thinking or acting otherwise than as their schoolmasters would have wished ... Diet, injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible ...
The Nazis were more scientific than the present rulers of Russia ... If they had survived, they would probably have soon taken to scientific breeding. Any nation which adopts this practice will, within a generation, secure great military advantages. The system, one may surmise, will be something like this: except possibly in the governing aristocracy, all but 5 per cent of males and 30 per cent of females will be sterilised. The 30 per cent of females will be expected to spend the years from eighteen to forty in reproduction, in order to secure adequate cannon fodder. As a rule, artificial insemination will be preferred to the natural method ...
Gradually, by selective breeding, the congenital differences between rulers and ruled will increase until they become almost different species. A revolt of the plebs would become as unthinkable as an organised insurrection of sheep against the practice of eating mutton.

After all, most civilised and semi-civilised countries known to history and had a large class of slaves or serfs completely subordinate to their owners. There is nothing in human nature that makes the persistence of such a system impossible. And the whole development of scientific technique has made it easier than it used to be to maintain a despotic rule of a minority. When the government controls the distribution of food, its power is absolute so long as they can count on the police and the armed forces. And their loyalty can be secured by giving them some of the privileges of the governing class. I do not see how any internal movement of revolt can ever bring freedom to the oppressed in a modern scientific dictatorship.
Pages 103-104
I do not pretend that birth control is the only way in which population can be kept from increasing. There are others, which, one must suppose, opponents of birth control would prefer. War, as I remarked a moment ago, has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove more effective. If a Black Death could be spread throughout the world once in every generation survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. There would be nothing in this to offend the consciences of the devout or to restrain the ambitions of nationalists. The state of affairs might be somewhat unpleasant, but what of that? Really high-minded people are indifferent to happiness, especially other people’s. However, I am wandering from the question of stability, to which I must return.
There are three ways of securing a society that shall be stable as regards population. The first is that of birth control, the second that of infanticide or really destructive wars, and the third that of general misery except for a powerful minority. All these methods have been practiced: the first, for example, by the Australian aborigines; the second by the Aztecs, the Spartans, and the rulers of Plato’s Republic; the third in the world as some Western internationalists hope to make it and in Soviet Russia ... Of these three, only birth control avoids extreme cruelty and unhappiness for the majority of human beings. Meanwhile, so long as there is not a single world government there will be competition for power among the different nations. And as increase of population brings the threat of famine, national power will become more and more obviously the only way of avoiding starvation. There will therefore be blocs in which the hungry nations band together against those that are well fed. That is the explanation of the victory of communism in China.
Page 105
The need for a world government, if the population problem is to be solved in any humane manner, is completely evident on Darwinian principles.
Page 110
A society is not stable unless it is on the whole satisfactory to the holders of power and the holders of power are not exposed to the risk of successful revolution.
Pages 110-111
First, as regards physical conditions. Soil and raw materials must not be used up so fast that scientific progress cannot continually make good the loss by means of new inventions and discoveries ... If raw materials are not to be used up too fast, there must not be free competition for their acquisition and use but an international authority to ration them in – such quantities as may from time to time seem compatible with continued industrial prosperity. And similar considerations apply to soil conservation.
Second, as regards population ... To deal with this problem it will be necessary to find ways of preventing an increase in world population. If this is to be done otherwise than by wars, pestilences, and famines, it will demand a powerful international authority. This authority should deal out the world’s food to the various nations in proportion to their population at the time of the establishment of the authority. If any nation subsequently increased its population it should not on that account receive any more food. The motive for not increasing population would therefore be very compelling.
As members of the public, we can choose to face the past of our future and act upon it, or we can choose to keep doing what we’ve been doing blindly. One thing that we can do with this new information is focus on how we will live our lives for ourselves versus following what the rulers have set for us. Once we do this, we begin to truly live life in the best way possible.

Excellent article. History is being rewritten faster than it's being made. There were so many things I wanted to reference about the Federal Reserve Act, its fundamental illegality and the obviously manipulated circumstances under which it was passed etc.—and those facts are nowhere to be found online anymore unless you really super know where to dig—or recall the book title (that's no longer in print!) that has the real information spelled out. All it takes is one generation and history—with all its lessons—effectively disappears.
