Our Destiny: Digital Nomads in a Virtual Void

Britain is a surreal place to be living right now.
The infamous Ministry of Defense trend report for 2007-35 projects the British middle classes 'becoming revolutionary, taking on the role of Marx's proletariat.'
I should be seeing the start of the ferment.
Our living standards are being attacked: people are losing their jobs, there is fast inflation, taxes are increasing and every year hordes of young people leave university to few job opportunities.
And yet there is virtually no anger at all. The conversation between people is as trivial and inane as ever.
Most social life in my town of 25,000 people is found in cafes and pubs. Primarily young mothers and housewives inhabit the cafes, while the pubs, charging £3 a pint, are now too expensive for most people to visit regularly.
Everyone else is locked indoors.
The streets are surprisingly subdued. I often take long walks lasting many hours and encounter few other souls. It is eerily quiet.
Even on a Friday night in Coventry, a City of 300,000 people nearby, the high street is surprisingly lifeless. The young are not out mixing and causing trouble as they should be.
When experiencing this shocking lack of activity and desire for life, you may wonder: Where is everyone?
Floating in cyber space.
They are at home gorging on limitless free TV shows, movies, songs and social networking. Their leisure time is spent engrossed in a fantastical 'second life'.
Television is a tremendous tool of distraction. Internet is even more dangerous. It is a black hole of amusement that swallows people's lives and destroys whole cultures.
It is why few will panic as Rome burns.
AMUSEMENT- A LURE FOR TYRANNY
Distraction aside, the 'second life' experienced online is designed for a more sinister purpose: to lure us into an electronic control grid. The elite plan a borderless world where a homogeneous slave populace serve their interests.
Jacques Attali, left, an Illuminati banker go-fer, wrote a book called 'Millennium: Winners and Losers in the Coming World Order' in 1990. He said amusement machines are used to re-program us:
'These objects--whose embryonic forms, like the Sony Walkman or the laptop computer, are ubiquitous today--will help create a different human being.'
The new human will have no family or cultural ties. He will be nomadic, tracked and controlled by a 'memory card' (i.e. ID card):
'The memory card will become the principal artificial limb of a person, at once an identity card, a checkbook, a telephone, and a fax machine--in sum, nomadic man's passport. It will be a kind of artificial self. 
To use it will only require plugging it into the global electronic networks of information and commerce, the oases of the new nomads.'
As nomadic worker bees, we will scramble to live in the super-cities of the future:
'Middle-level nomads will stay in places that are impersonal, like the hotels that today ring airports throughout the world. Only the most fortunate rich nomads will have the means to become property owners in the large cities, which will be the magnetic poles for their brethren from all areas and regions of the globe.'
We will co-exist in two realities: in the real world as surfs and in our cyber-fantasy:
'Cities will be fortified, dangerous places, the tangled heart of electronic networks, a cabled field of dreams.'
The internet is designed to lure us into totalitarianism. The acceptance of a 'second life' online is a rejection of reality, making us clay in the hands of our rulers.
Those hooked on the internet, most especially the young need to start rejecting it and fill our parks, homes, pubs with real social activity.
We must start shaking off our 'second life'.
If we don't, we may become the 'losers' Attali describes inhabiting the NWO:
'In the coming world order, there will be winners and there will be losers. The losers will outnumber the winners by an unimaginable factor. They will yearn for the chance to live decently, and they are likely to be denied that chance. They will encounter rampant prejudice and fear. They will find themselves penned in, asphyxiated by pollution, neglected through indifference. The horrors of the twentieth century will fade by comparison.'
Gavin said (November 13, 2010):
I tend to agree with Gregory's post in that the author of this article, is mistaken when he identifies the Internet in solely negative terms.
Unlike the 20th century the internet has put the spotlight on the PTB and every move they make is scrutinised, debated and put through the wash till a large number of people generally get a good idea of what's going on. In short, the elite are often stymied and seem to be having a hard time pushing through their agenda.
For example, thanks to the internet the global warming meme is on the ropes and it's cousins, peak oil and water scarcity seem to be going nowhere. These fear mongering promotions were designed to control people, centralise power and siphon off money through taxes, carbon trading etc. There is no way the climategate emails would have gotten the traction and publicity they did without the net. Even the most important promotion of the power elite, central banking, seems to be in big trouble these days, again thanks mainly to the net.
An outstanding site, IMHO, which observes and reports on these memes (thedailybell.com) says the internet is the modern equivalent of the Gutenberg printing press of 500 years ago. Because of the invention of this press ordinary people could then read the bible and they found out that the Catholic Church had been telling fibs. This led to the Reformation, Protestantism (Protest) and a more opening up of society in general.
On a related note, a British MP recently proposed a full reserve, honest money, banking bill in the UK parliament. It would seem that this is a slap in the face for the British power elite and you could bet such a bill would not have been introduced if it weren't for the internet shining a light on their dodgy banking practices.
