Daniel Estulin is an award winning
investigative journalist and best selling author of The True Story of
the Bilderberg Group, published in 64 countries and translated into 41
languages. In August 2010 he was invited by Fidel Castro for a personal
meeting in Havana after Castro read his book. In October 2010 Mr Estulin
became the first journalist to give a speech to the Joint Chiefs of
Staff of the Venezuelan armed forces on global financial structures and
the Bilderberg Group – an annual invitation-only conference of the
elites in the fields of business, finance, media, military and politics.
Mr Estulin has authored 12 books, five of them international
bestsellers, including The Invisible Empire, Conspiracy Octopus,
Deconstructing Wikileaks, and The Lords of Shadows.
His latest book, TransEvolution: The Age of Human Deconstruction,
suggests that the depth of progress and technological development is
such that people in the very near future may no longer be fully human.
He asks: Is humanity in danger because of this domination of science and
technology?
In the following interview with New Dawn magazine, Mr Estulin
discusses the rise of transhumanism, the ‘Age of Transition’,
post-humanity, synthetic biology, cybernetic immortality, new
technologies of control, and the reasons why the global elite are
interested in population control.
NEW DAWN (ND): Most New Dawn readers are acquainted with your best
selling book The True Story of the Bilderberg Group, in which you expose
the secretive global elite planning group that meets annually. You
reported that at this year’s Bilderberg meeting they expressed grave
concern about the rise of Iran, Russia and China. And of course the
volatile situation in Ukraine. Before we discuss your latest book,
“TransEvolution: The Coming Age of Human Deconstruction,” could you
elaborate on your approach to understanding world events?
DANIEL ESTULIN (DE): We are witnessing first hand the destruction of
the world’s economy and the work of supranational forces. When one
speaks of policy we often mean foreign or national executed by national
governments. But we have to understand that Presidents and Prime
Ministers are messengers of those who rule the world from behind the
scenes. Which is why to understand what is happening in the world we
have to frame issues in terms of global policy decisions. These
decisions are not made at the White House or Downing Street but rather
in the back rooms of the supranational elite. What is taking place in
the Ukraine, the revolts in Venezuela, the utter destruction of the
American economy (read Detroit), drug wars in Colombia and beyond,
Kosovo, Yugoslavia in the 1990s, Syria, Colour Revolutions, etc, etc. –
these are not isolated events but rather part of the continuum to change
the very paradigm of modern society and take us to hell through
deindustrialisation, zero growth, demand destruction, perpetual wars,
etc.
ND: Your book warns about the imminent “transhumanist” revolution
which seeks to integrate human with machine. What exactly is
transhumanism and how is it connected directly to the global elites
you’ve written extensively on in the past?
DE: Transhumanism is an ultra high tech dream of computer
scientists, philosophers, neural scientists and many others. It seeks to
use radical advances in technology to augment the human body, mind and
ultimately the entire human experience. To most people this sounds like
something from a science fiction film. Few are aware of constant
breakthroughs in technology, which makes the transhumanist vision a very
real possibility for the near future.
For example, neurochip interfaces, computer chips that connect
directly to the brain, are being developed right now. The ultimate goal
of a brain chip would be to increase intelligence thousands of time over
– basically turning the human brain into a super computer. Lifelong
emotional well-being is also a key concept within transhumanism. This
can be achieved through a recalibration of the pleasure centres in the
brain. Pharmaceutical mood renderers have been suggested, which will be
cleaner and safer than mind-altering drugs. This is Aldous Huxley’s 21st
century scientific dictatorship without tears.
Transhumanism was born out of humanism, which is yet another clever
disguise of “scientism,” created specifically so that global eugenics
operations could be carried out without being noticed.
ND: At the start of TransEvolution you make a link between the 2005
Bilderberg Group meeting and the 2006 British government document
‘Strategic Trends Report 2007-2036’. Was the discovery of this link one
of the reasons you wrote the book?
DE: Exactly. At the end of the 2005 Bilderberg Conference in
Germany, I was given a first draft of what later turned into a UK
government report, ‘Strategic Trends Report 2007-2036’, a secret source
document on the future of humanity. This 91-page report is a blueprint
for the UK’s future strategic national requirements through the analysis
of key risks and future shocks to the world’s financial, economic,
political, demographic and technological areas and markets.
But it wasn’t the only report. In my investigation I came across two
additional very important reports published over a decade ago by the
British government and the US government. One is called ‘The Age of
Transition’ which dealt with nanotechnologies, biology, information
technology and cognitive technology. The other is ‘Russia 2045 Global
Future’.
It was the hope of three conferences, ‘The Age of Transitions’, the
‘Global Future 2045 International Congress’ and the ‘NBIC’ conference,
to integrate humanity with nature to save Planet Earth from mankind.
Visions laid out included robotics, cybernetics, artificial
intelligence, life extension, brain enhancement, brain-to-brain
interaction, virtual reality, genetic engineering, teleportation,
human-machine interfaces, neuromorphic engineering and enhanced human
capabilities for defence purposes.
Once you break down the Orwellian speak, you realise that we, the
people, are the enemy of the elite and through technological advancement
and enhancement they will be able to control the future of humanity.
ND: The controversial Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin, who has
been dubbed “Putin’s brain” by the globalist CFR journal Foreign
Affairs, warns in regard to the transhumanist agenda: “There will be
some black magic yet, and certain things that will outright petrify. I
think genetic engineering – we’re only now seeing the last people; we
haven’t yet seen the first post-people, which are very soon to come.
These should be mutants, clones, and they aren’t just fantasies or
science fiction.” What do you think will happen?
DE: Our children are the last truly human generation of human beings
on the planet. We will have transhuman children – post human,
man-machine, cyborgs who are not totally human as a result of synthetic
biology.
Now, in one of the biggest breakthroughs in recent history,
scientists have created a synthetic genome that can self-replicate. They
have taken a cell and modified the genes of a cell by inserting DNA
from another organism. And the bacteria replicated itself thus creating a
second generation of the synthetic DNA. The organism will do exactly
what the scientist intended: a living thing, but under the control of
Man.
If the 19th century was all about the revolution of harnessing energy
from fossil fuels, and the 20th century was about exploiting the power
of data, this century will be about controlling biology.
What’s amazing is that the cell was assembled and sparked into life
in a laboratory. This technology takes mankind across a threshold. A
turning point that marked a coming of age of a new science called
synthetic biology, founded on the ambition that one day it will be
possible to design and manufacture a human being.
In other words, you can get DNA of anything here on Earth and create
organisms that never before existed entirely from non-living materials.
Scientists are creating new life forms that the human immune system and
the world have never so far experienced. As such, it will revitalise
perennial questions about the significance of life – what it is, why it
is important and what role humans should have in its future.
ND: Most people seem oblivious to what is just around the corner in
terms of technology and its impact on human life. You say in your book
that transhumanism is “steered by the elite” and that “we, the people,
have not been invited.” What are some of the visible strategies being
employed by the elites to dumb down the population so they sleepwalk
into this so-called transhumanist “utopia”?
DE: Media, social media in all of its manifestations, and especially
Hollywood – GIJoe 2, Prototype, Transcendence, Gatacca, I am Legend,
Moon, Minority Report, AVATAR. Video games like ‘Deus Ex’. These are
films, but the reality is far more dangerous.
Once they see some of these same gadgets employed in real life,
people think they are still watching a ‘cool’ Hollywood ‘flick’. For
example, in Minority Report Tom Cruise’s character John Anderton has a
radical surgery to replace his eyes so that he can get past security
systems that scan his retina to identify him. As he’s lying in a tub
recovering from his black-market procedure, tiny robots sneak into the
room and scan his eyes in an attempt to track down the fugitive Future
Crime officer. The ability to scan retinas to identify people is
straight out of a sci-fi film but, outside of the use of spider-like
drone bots, this is very much present and near future. In fact, soon
your eyes may not even need to be in close proximity to the scanner to
be identified.
Engineers at Southern Methodist University are working closely with
the US Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency to develop a new type
of eye scanner that could identify a room full of people without their
knowledge. The new image sensors, called Panoptes, could locate and scan
a person’s iris regardless of distance, and even if they’re not looking
directly at the camera. The system, dubbed Smart-Iris, is impervious to
problems like poor lighting, glare, eye-lashes, or movement. And, with
the help of a new algorithm, it can function with only a partial scan.
One of the most talked about areas of research is something called
the “Active Denial System,” ADS. ADS is a by-product of a larger ongoing
research effort looking for technology that could delete and then
replace a person’s memories via the use of electromagnetic radiation.
If you are thinking Men in Black Hollywood science fiction, you are
absolutely right. Except the technology, called “Amnesia Beam,” is here,
ready to be used at a moment’s notice. What’s more, a team of
neuroscientists has actually developed a brain scan based on finding
hints about what a subject is intending to do. This is a nightmare
version of Minority Report made reality.
Scientists claim that the seeds of criminal and anti-social behaviour
can be found in children as young as three. More researchers believe
that violent tendencies have a biological basis, and that tests and
brain imaging can pick them up in children. By predicting which children
have the potential to be trouble, treatments could be introduced to
keep them on the straight and narrow. If the tests are accurate enough,
then a form of screening could be introduced in the same way we test for
some diseases. The theories were put forward by two leading
criminologists at the American Association for the Advancement of
Science in Washington.
Please understand, these are not publicly funded projects for the
betterment of humanity, but they are mostly secret experiments
sanctioned in the name of defence, which when put on its head is crime
prevention. Extrapolated into the future it’s tailor-made to put down
any rebellion by the 99% of the world’s population destined to live in
abject poverty in crime infested Mega-Cities of the future.
Let me give you another example. Last year FOX showed a TV series
called Almost Human where one of the main characters is a cyborg cop
interacting with humans in society. Almost Human is about neuroscience, a
key element of the elite’s control. Neuroscience is the study of the
nervous system. With advances in chemistry, computer science,
engineering, medicine and other disciplines, neuroscience now also
includes the study of the molecular, cellular, developmental,
structural, functional, evolutionary, computational, and medical aspects
of the nervous system. From molecular and cellular studies of
individual nerve cells to imaging of sensory and motor tasks in the
brain, neuroscience has crossed the threshold of science and has become a
key element of national security apparatus the world over.
The development of sophisticated neuro-weapons will create a
perpetual state of uncertainty with the promise and peril of the
development of neuro-warfare and its effects. Emotional detection
systems will pervade public areas as global surveillance networks seek
out terrorists and criminals.
These technologies are not being developed to stop the terrorists but
rather to stop you! The laws to justify these technologies are not
written on a whim. They are specifically designed to give the government
carte blanche authority over the people during the chaos and confusion
of the ‘Age of Transitions’. Transition to a planetary civilisation.
You see, the future Bin Ladens and Qadhafis are not the enemy. In
fact, they never were. You are the enemy. Whether at airports, border
crossings or on the street corner, from now on we will be mind-probed by
amazing new technology developed by the Human Factors Division of the
Department of Homeland Security’s Science & Technology directorate
[this is an actual division of US Homeland Security].
ND: You write that: “Transhumanism fills people’s hopes and minds
with dreams of becoming superhuman, but the fact of the matter is that
the true goal is the removal of that pesky, human free will itself.” Do
you believe the elites are planning this coming age of machine and
robots (which are very sophisticated and will replace many human jobs)
as a way to eventually eliminate the excess of humanity, the “useless
eaters” as they’ve been termed?
DE: There is an effort by the mainstream press to focus on the work
issue and completely miss the bigger picture. First, let’s look at the
technology. Brain machine interfaces would allow the control of
machinery with the brain itself. Implantable brain chips would also be
able to store information and enhance cognitive function. The ultimate
human machine symbiosis would be to download the actual copy of a
person’s brain into a super computer.
I repeat, this would allow someone to effectively live forever in a
computer-generated virtual simulation. And, of course, the military
implications of convergence are quite obvious. A cybernetic enhancement
of human performance is inevitable. Achieving these visions requires the
decoding and understanding of complex systems. The most important
complex system being the human brain. After all, it is the driving force
behind human performance.
Augmentation can be a huge business for these corporations. We have
been integrating ourselves with technology for decades now, replacing
damaged limbs with mechanical limbs, implanting data chips into our
bodies which give away huge amounts of information to governments and
corporations all across the world. Has it come to the point when we will
be actively encouraged to exchange our perfectly functional body parts
for upgraded applications?
But it comes at a price. You will have to take the drugs for the rest
of your lives to make sure the augmentation works. These drugs are both
dangerous and addictive and expensive. If you don’t, your body will
reject your augmentation. The elite will have their technology in you.
They have the power to turn off your limbs, the potential to turn off
your eyes, send messages to your brain and control your thoughts as if
they have the power of God.
The technology doesn’t end there: Intel is working on implantable
sensors in the brain that will be able to directly control computers and
cell phones. By the year 2020 you won’t need a keyboard and mouse to
control your computer. Instead, users will open documents and surf the
web using nothing more than their brain waves.
The potential ‘benefits’ of such technology are almost beyond
imagination. An article on the website of the Science Channel put it
this way: “If you could pump data directly into your gray matter at,
say, 50 mb per sec – you’d be able to read a 500-page book in just under
two-tenths of a second. How would the world change if you could
download a lifetime of learning directly into your brain in a matter of
weeks?”
The possibilities are endless. But so is the potential for abuse.
Through interaction, implantable microchips can ‘talk’ directly to the
brain, bypassing sensory receptors. This would give a tyrannical
government an ultimate form of control. If you could download thoughts
and feelings directly into the brains of your citizens, you could
achieve total control and never have to worry about them turning on you.
We haven’t even scratched the surface. Called Remote Neural
Monitoring (RNM), this technology is already in use in the USA, UK,
Spain, Sweden, Germany and France. It allows them to see through your
eyes, hear your thoughts, and upload photos and scents into your brain
as real as if you saw or smelled it in the natural environment.
Needless to say, the perpetrators can hear what you hear because you
become a unit of the mainframe. They can change your behaviour, affect
memory functions and emotions. This is not a plotline of a dystopian
novel. This is real and it is being implemented today, every day by the
governments who profess to protect us from evil.
In fact, you could potentially program these chips to make your
citizens feel good all the time: The ultimate goal of Huxley’s
scientific dictatorship without tears – soma personified. The future is
now.
Instead of drugs like cocaine and marijuana giving you a natural
high, you could have these chips produce a ‘natural high’ that never
ends. Drug dependency replaced by a fully government sanctioned chip
dependency. The way of the future.
Post-humanity will be a new human, genetically engineered and
brain-chipped for total control. Part man and part machine, the new man
will no longer have a need of the sexual reproductive function. If the
elite’s plan is to reduce the world’s population, can you think of a
better way to do that?
ND: What’s the connection between elite control of the world’s food supply and the depopulation agenda?
DE: There is no better or cheaper way to reduce population than
through starvation. And in order to starve a people to death you must
take control of their food production away from independent farmers and
put it into the hands of giant corporations subservient to the interests
of World Company Inc.
Ten to twelve pivotal companies, assisted by another three dozen, run
the world’s food supply. This cartel has complete domination over world
cereals and grains supplies, from wheat to corn and oats, from barley
to sorghum and rye. But it also controls meat, dairy, edible oils and
fats, fruits and vegetables, sugar, and all forms of spices.
While these firms maintain the legal fiction of being different
corporate organisations, in reality this is one interlocking syndicate
with a common purpose and multiple overlapping boards of directors.
Please understand, this interlocked self-perpetuating syndicate
decides who eats and who doesn’t, who lives and who dies. It is a
virtual spider web of financial, political, economic and industry
interests with the Venetian ultramontane fondi model at the centre.
These people own and manage the affairs of an interlocking corporate
apparatus that dominates choke points within the global economy,
especially finance, insurance, raw materials, transportation, and
consumer goods.
But it does not end there. The control of food supplies is a matter
of national security. The US Department of Agriculture is one of the key
elements in a national security edifice attempting to control the world
food market.
Food is power. When it is used to cull the population, it becomes a
weapon of mass destruction. You may not realise it, but the elite
certainly do.
ND: In light of these alarming behind-the-scenes developments, can you elaborate on the global elite’s long-term plan?
DE: There are currently seven billion people on Planet Earth, a
small blue orb meandering through space with limited natural resources
and an ever-expanding population. Food and water are becoming scarcer.
The elite understand this: a larger population equals fewer natural
resources and more food and water supply shortages. Therefore, from the
point of view of an oligarchical elite, if they want to completely
control a planet, they must reduce the population to a more ‘manageable’
number. Remember, seven billion people and growing is a lot of mouths
to feed. For the elite to eat, you and I have to die. How is that for a
solution?
ND: How can aware people resist this diabolical ‘TransEvolution’?
DE: We have to understand that all of us have a place in the
universe. Immortality, the way I understand it, is assuring the survival
of the human species. Human beings are the most divine element of the
known Universe. Nothing compares to our divine spark of reason.
Technology and progress must be used to increase Man’s power in the
Universe, not to destroy humanity.

Back in 1983, approximately 50 corporations controlled the vast majority of all news media in the United States. Today, ownership of the news media
has been concentrated in the hands of just six incredibly powerful
media corporations. These corporate behemoths control most of what we
watch, hear and read every single day. They own television networks,
cable channels, movie studios, newspapers, magazines, publishing houses, music labels and even many of our favorite websites. Sadly, most Americans don’t even stop to think about who is feeding them the endless hours of news
and entertainment that they constantly ingest. Most Americans don’t
really seem to care about who owns the media. But they should. The
truth is that each of us is deeply influenced by the messages that are constantly being pounded into our heads by the mainstream media. The average American watches 153 hours
of television a month. In fact, most Americans begin to feel
physically uncomfortable if they go too long without watching or
listening to something. Sadly, most Americans have become absolutely addicted to
news and entertainment and the ownership of all that news and
entertainment that we crave is being concentrated in fewer and fewer
hands each year.
