The First Industrial Repression saw us thrown off the land, forced into crowded towns and cities, used as human fodder for the dark satanic mills of the new steam-powered capitalist world.
The Second Industrial Repression electrified the rule of The Machine. New generations were born who had never tasted freedom. Their lives and their thinking were increasingly dominated by the rhythms of industrial mass production.
The Third Industrial Repression heralded the arrival of computers and robots. Human beings were now expected to meekly conform to these automated norms and functions.
And now we face the onset of the Fourth Industrial Repression (4IR), the most deathly repression of them all…
The 4IR wants to own, control and profit from everything that exists in this world.
Its Internet of Things aims to create a matrix of total connectivity, of which it is the owner.
You, your home, your family, your friends, your relationships and your activities will all belong to the 4IR.
Its technocrats regard you as nothing more than another piece of disposable fleshware, one unit among millions, just another figure on its global balance sheet of exploitation.
The 4IR will track you and always know where you are, whom you are with, what you are doing.
It demands your total obedience. You can have no values, ideals or dreams of your own, only the ones authorised by the system.
Disobedient units are unproductive units.
The 4IR will know how to spot you, if you even so much as consider stepping out of line. Its predictive policing will quickly identify you as an anti-social element, a pre-criminal, a thought criminal.
It will send out its robots and its drones to neutralise you and protect the safe functioning of the matrix.
Digital identity systems. Militarised 5G. Neuro-technological brain enhancements. Genetic editing.
Cybersecurity Macht Frei!
The 4IR will not tolerate any irresponsible words or behaviour that present a threat to health and safety, to law and order, to resilience and prosperity.
Submission. Sycophancy. Slavery. We’re all in it together, citizen!
The 4IR wants to scare us into its devouring jaws by pointing to impending disaster and claiming that nobody can save us but itself.
It shows us the misery and disease inflicted by the First, Second and Third Industrial Repressions and insists that the “solution” is a fourth dose of the same deadly industrial poison.
The intelligence of the 4IR is entirely artificial and its dead robot brain cannot smell what we smell, feel what we feel, love what we love.
It coldly ignores the timeless and vital value of people, animals, trees, plants and the whole organic reality of which these form part.
Instead it sees just raw material for its own profit.
It thirsts above all for data, endless floods of data to be collected, processed, sold and transformed into the wealth which buys its total control.
The Fourth Industrial Repression wants to replace everything true and authentic with its replicas, with a reality not so much virtual as entirely fake.
And yet its forked robotic tongue tells us that this phoney reality is in fact an “enhanced” or “augmented” one.
The 4IR wants to abolish the lives we have known. It wants to microchip us, lock us up in little cages, and force-feed us chemical food substitutes, laced with feel-good soma.
It cannot tolerate the idea that we might enjoy anything for free, such as sunshine, fresh air and the wild outdoors.
It craves a total monopoly of our experience. Cut off from the real world, from authenticity and liberty, we will have no choice but to buy and consume the poisonous ersatz reality it has carefully manufactured.
The 4IR, like all the other repressions before it, is built on our separation from one another, the destruction of our communities and the undermining of our solidarities.
“Social distancing” is the prerequisite for its seizure of complete power.
The 4IR wants us all to be on our own, online and in line.
The 4IR empties everything of meaning, particularly words. It says “sustainable” when it means ecocidal. It says “development” when it means destruction. It says “basic universal income” when it means slavery.
When the 4IR talks about “social impact investing” it really means it wants to turn human beings into lucrative investment opportunities.
Human capital. Human cattle.
When the 4IR talks about “a new deal for nature” it really means it wants to privatise the whole living world so as to make the billionaire class even richer than it already is.
When the 4IR demands “biosecurity”, it means the security of its own systems of control against the threat from biological reality. From nature, from life, from us!
The 4IR thinks it is so smart. Its glossy propaganda promises us smart mobility in a smart economy, smart living and smart governance for the smart people of tomorrow.
The smart money is on the 4IR project. The smart money of the smart-arse smart set. Smart is the new smug.
The 4IR employs huge armies of professional liars and gullible fools to spread its propaganda and scream abuse at all who dare challenge its fearmongering falsehoods.
The 4IR is a death cult which dreams of wiping out everything that is natural, everything that is wild, everything that is free.

Yes, but how? to win a war there has to be a balance, a proportion of forces between the combatants,. The problem is a lot of people are benefiting from the 4th IR system. So, increasingly we have a situation of the haves as opposed to the have not-s. Those who – wrongly – believe they are among the haves, the winners, as opposed to those who are the have not-s, the losers. The haves think: the winners have always been a minority, the losers a majority. Most people want to be among the winners. But to persuade them you have to address their spiritual selves, their souls. You have to change their souls. It may be slowly happening, but will it happen in sufficiently large numbers before it is too late? I certainly hope that it can, but honestly, realistically, I have a hard time believing it. I put my hope in the upcoming generations of the young and also the women. The youth and the women are the two groups we have to focus on. But Let us not fool ourselves. This requires a massive, worldwide revolution. And, given, politically, economically and militarily the current situation, the US must play a leading role in it. There are some indications that that might happen. The Biden administration might prove a big disappointment if what they do is basically a return to the status quo ante, that is, to the rule of the of the very elites that were rejected in the presidential election of 2016. But, on the other hand, the betrayal of Biden and Co. could be what is needed to accelerate the systemic revolution that is required.

I think you are right. Very difficult to visualize and definitely it may happen to certain point with certain portion of humanity.
I tend to be more optimistic when I look at the possibility of evolving in the spiritual realm. Physical is just one level. It exists and it is up to us to move higher. Remember when they say reality will separate into a 1000 cosmos? Those are different vibration levels. The higher we move up, the less chance this demoníc plan will reach us.

“4IR will track you and always know where you are, whom you are with, what you are doing.”
It already has this capability and is using it now.
“4IR will not tolerate any irresponsible words or behaviour that present a threat to health and safety, to law and order, to resilience and prosperity.“
It will play with us allowing some subversive activity to hide its omnipotence.
