Human Industrial Complex

Guest Post by Visayas Outpost

Watch what you say or they’ll be calling you a radical,

Liberal, oh fanatical, criminal.

Won’t you sign up your name, we’d like to feel you’re acceptable,

Respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable…

Admittedly, it is no easy task in 2023 determining which end of the narrative Zeitgeist I find myself on.  Not wanting to add unnecessary noise to the buzzing of the hive, it can be best to wait until there is something that feels important enough to say.  And so it is that a few recent article trends in my news circle have sparked such a moment; because they helped put into place a clearer way of thinking about the nature of the threat we Humans face on this Earth.

What piqued my eyeballs as soon as I saw it was an article describing Michael Shellenberger’s testimony to the House Select Committee on what he calls The Censorship Industrial Complex.  A comprehensive and interlocking method used by government and social media companies to engineer what we think and say.  This concept is not new to you, Readers, but it is significant that someone has given it a name, and it has been presented to Congress.

Immediately on the heels of that was further proof of Shellenberger’s observation, in the recent announcement about U.S. Special Operations Command’s involvement with Accrete AI in developing a military-grade “AI” censoring tool which will ultimately run on social media.  These things come as no real surprise either, but the sheer nefariousness of this tool is something to behold.  It purports to analyze all content everywhere, in real time, to determine the threat level to the narrative.  To stamp out ‘embryonic’ ideas as soon as they show up.  The “AI” is able to calculate their likely impact, and stop ‘misinfo’ before it can start.

A song like Rich Men North of Richmond would not have lived on YouTube, or ever seen the light of day.  Maybe you post something to a forum and it immediately gets altered.  Insidious.  Twitter (‘X’) is now using ‘user definitions’ in a way to not only regionalize content but granularize it to the individual level, such that no two user experiences are the same.  So you may have an echo chamber of one, friends, with all of your followers being bots.

Censorship is not the only Industrial Complex we suffer from however, merely the latest.  The Military Industrial Complex has been with us since before Kennedy.  But add to that the recent exposure of the Medical Industrial Complex, which we just called Big Pharma before.  One could consider the Data Industrial Complex, or the Educational Industrial Complex.  These all have the same nature; being intertwined with the government, with opaque funding, and control agendas that affect everyone.  Climate, the Dollar, Energy, Agriculture; all of them are cartel-level industrial strength forces shaping our reality.

Note that not one of these complexes support liberty or freedom!  They are tentacles of the same hydra, essentially; the one that wants to categorize, classify, assess, and manage you right into a little postage stamp apartment in a 15-minute city.  To keep you in an echo chamber, or immersed in an alt. reality VR game and sipping reconstituted urine.  But at least you’ll have an e-bike.  It occurs to me that we, as humans, are literally just numbers in a balance sheet to someone.  We are animated actuary tables.

“They got a building down New York City, it’s called Whitehall Street,
where you walk in, you get injected, inspected, detected, infected,
neglected and selected.”

-Arlo Guthrie

We have been thinking about our humanity all wrong, it seems, not recognizing the reality for what it is.  Because we are no longer the Human Race, but the Human Industrial Complex.  We are commodities, in a position somewhere above animals but below the needs of the State.  The term ‘sheep’ or ‘cattle’ turns out to be a rather apt description of what we have become.  For decades now the business world has referred to us as human capital.  We are an R.O.I. with values like our talent stack, and our skill set.  To the political class we are simply tax payers or votes to be harvested.  To the medical world we are percentages of mRna uptake in the population.  No aspect of our actual humanity matters to anyone in the halls of power, busy as they are classifying us into threat levels and managing us by algorithm.

Word is among the conspiracy theorists that Pharma companies own patents not just on the mRna shots, but the resulting product of genetic modifications.  Meaning people, if you follow the logic.  Although legally dubious, you can still see the thinking and the ambition involved.  It is similar to cancer-causing or behavior-modifying chemicals being put in our food and water supply.  Let the resultant human impact be self-evident:  Falling lifespans, the meteoric rise of autism, low testosterone, shortened attention spans, a docile population, etc.

With all of the stuff we ingest, inject, and absorb, they may as well clip ID tags to our ears.  In a sense we are not very far from that.  Call it vaccine passports, call it mark of the beast, but on this trajectory there is some threshold we will pass where our bodies, even our minds, will not be our own to control.  This is what the ‘brain domain’ battlefield seems to be all about, gaining control of that last line of defense; the human will.

By becoming controllable, we have become the ‘known knowns’ in risk management, the part of the equation they can mold and shape to the desired outcome.  What matters is not the wishes of We the People, but the wishes of Blackrock, the City of London, and others.  We provide essential tax dollars and votes needed to implement the vision these others, and that is about all we are good for.  For a time they will still need us as a labor component, but that too will change with increasing automation.  This is all in sharp contrast to what School House Rock explained to us kids back in the ‘70s, about power being vested in the people.  The illusion may still be there, but not the substance.

We act self-important, as if still calling the shots.  We say silly things like “politicians work for us”.  Yet we cannot stop the Pharma companies trying to experiment on us, the Data companies from selling us out, and the Education system from targeting our children with ideological nonsense.  Those agendas are above the plebe paygrade, and it looks like nothing short of armed revolution is going to put a dent in it.
