Unless you live amongst the modern intelligentsia, you may never have noticed that they have developed and even explained their strategies for destroying—or in their view, replacing—Western culture with their new and improved critical-theory-based intersectional power structure. 





While, at first glance, and if you are not steeped in the intellectual milieu in which these people live, you may think that there is a “conspiracy” afoot to tear down our current society and replace it with a multicultural technocratically-run socialist totalitarian society. 

That is their goal, of course, but the “conspiracy” lacks an essential element we assume applies to “conspiracies:” secrecy. Far from being secret, if you read and listen to what these “intellectuals” and “thought leaders” tell each other quite openly in journals, TED talks, on NGO websites, and in academic circles, they are quite open about their plans and their willingness to lie to ordinary people about what they are doing. 

They have such confidence in their propaganda and the rightness of their cause that there is no real attempt to hide what they are doing. 

I first encountered Critical Theory and Deconstructionism in college and grad school, but at first, I assumed that the willingness to be open about the plan to redefine everything and destroy our society was buried in academic papers using abstruse language. And, at first, it was. 

I didn’t fully appreciate how pervasive and out in the open the willingness to use propaganda and lie had become until I read scientists writing that they were perfectly willing to lie and exaggerate in order to get people frightened about climate change. Their theory was simple: unless you lie about the dangers we face and how quickly things will happen, the normies won’t follow the right policies. 





Hence the fake alarmism. You need to tell “noble lies” to get people to do the ‘right thing.’

But the reality really struck home when I started looking into the World Economic Forum. When I would discuss the insanity of the WEF’s policies, a lot of intelligent people scoffed that anybody could think like that or make such insane policy proposals. 

IT’S ON THEIR WEBSITE! Every single thing I pointed out is right there in black and white, with just about everybody in the transnational elite signed onto it. Bugs. 15-minute cities. You will own nothing and be happy. It’s all right there, with just about every politician and academic in the world signed onto it. 

It’s not a conspiracy THEORY. It is an openly acknowledged plan of action. 

How do the elites maintain the credibility they have enjoyed while, among themselves, they openly talk about their insane policies, their reason for lying about things, and their totalitarian aspirations? 

I think there are a few reasons. First, almost nobody watches the TED talks, reads the journals, pays attention to academics except when their ideas are filtered through the popular media, and certainly nobody pays attention to WEF meetings in Davos, except to joke about the private jets and prostitutes. 

Second, the ideas are so insane in many cases that people laugh when you tell them that the intelligentsia wants you to eat bugs or to give up your property. 

And third, there is the popular media, which simultaneously flogs the lies, hoaxes, exaggerations, sob stories while also portraying the transnational elites as empathetic saviors of humanity, who couldn’t possibly have bad motives. 





You saw how powerful that propaganda was during COVID, and how Donald Trump deranges a huge proportion of the population because they are told to be. 

Propaganda works. It is a color revolution tactic. 

One irony among many is that the people most susceptible to the propaganda are college-educated people who don’t pay much attention to things outside of reading the most prestigious propaganda outlets. They buy into the hype because they identify with the class of people pushing the propaganda, who look and talk like them. It is a form of class solidarity as much as anything else. 

They don’t watch Katherine Meyer explain why seeking the truth is the wrong thing; they listen to NPR and think they are being fed the truth. 

This is one of the reasons why the Venn Diagram overlap of people who are liberals and people who are working class is shrinking, and the college-educated (especially women) are lurching left. They follow the propaganda, trust the experts over their eyes and common sense, and believe what their class tells them to believe. 

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what the transnational elite is doing. If you read enough of what they say to each other, it’s not hidden at all. But unless you start with a bit of skepticism about the good intentions of the elite, you never even bother to look at the evidence. The New York Times says they are good people and that New York City will be underwater 30 years from now unless you pay higher taxes, or grandma will die if you don’t wear a mask. 





The extent of that class loyalty is something to behold. No sane person could believe that our “experts” flat-out lied about COVID, the vaccine, the reasons for masking and social distancing, or why they decided to keep the schools closed. The evidence is easy to see and find. 

But class loyalty keeps the upper-middle-class overeducated people in an intellectual stupor. They make excuses or are repelled by the people who think Fauci is evil. Even if they know Fauci and his ilk lied, they stick with him because he wears a white coat and speaks in tones they like. 

As I have written before, it’s more a class war than anything else. The technocrats are making a bid for total control, and the credentialed class’s identity is aligned with the technocrats. They find the NPR tone of voice comforting, even if it is mouthing the ideas of Pravda.
