The Fourth Industrial Revolution

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

-George Santayana

In the twenty-first century, American politics had become a growing dumpster fire consuming everything around it. Fueled by the desires of a depraved elite class with no buffer to protect the masses, the losses and deaths continued to pile high as our society raced toward a cliff with no one at the wheel. Utterly calamitous and mismanaged, all we could do was idly stand and watch as our society grind down its foundation to fulfill the insatiable hunger of the powerful. Reason would dictate that such a futuristic world with its entire technical prowess could provide all of its inhabitance equally but this was not the case. Famine, blight, drought, and sickness was still king and the marvels that society had to offer was reserved for the elite and the working class that served them. Wars to secure resources had become the diplomacy that infected every corner of the globe and with it the need for more security for the homeland. Some would say that the land of the free had become a prison by design, others would look to history to make sense of how it had become so.

In the early nineteenth century, the world underwent an upheaval in society with the realization of the industrial age. The engines fueled by wood and coal brought the industrial machine productivity never before experienced and with it, fear that the rapid changes that would replace workers with machines. At first, driven by a free, unregulated, and unsympathetic capitalism, society had to make vast changes to restructure the way we lived. The fears that the masses would be left without a means to support itself had proven to be unfounded as workers retrained to adapt to the new beginnings technology had to offer. As we stand on the precipice of yet a new industrial revelation, we must determine what changes our society will have to make in order to avoid an unparalleled and global economic collapse experienced in the past.

After the development of the steam-powered external combustion engine replacing the traditional waterwheel powered plant, society made a slow and steady changes propelling itself into the future. People resisting the new era after many challenges to innovation eventually lost the contest of man vs. machine. Factory owners, transportation moguls, and even farm barons found that they had to make real changes or be left behind. Workers were displaced and forced to find other means to make their living. Within two decades, the sky was filled with the black clouds of progress caused by the steam-powered engines that fueled modern society at every level.

Innovation in textiles and the steel industries took difficult, dangerous jobs away from workers to put them into the tireless hands of the machines that did them accurately, resulting in a higher quality of working standards. With fewer workers required to run the machines for the same productivity, factories began producing products cheaper and faster than ever before. Soon even those who resisted the new machines had to admit that they were changing the world for the better. For the first time in history, it became profitable to destroy the environment in lieu of modern society. Where money changed hands, owners were influencing society from the shadows leaving the nobility behind.

As the few factory owners began to accumulate more power than ever before, influencing government became a child’s play and without the oversight that restricted the nobility for centuries. This was the birth of the corporation, a living organism with no limitations or laws to govern it. With a growing unemployed workforce, manufacturers expected the government to provide increases in the supply of materials in which to manufacture more and even better goods. By using this new money to influence government in this way, it sparked a new age of discovery, an imperial age. People who were struggling to put food on the table and to maintain their ancestral homes now found that they were once again needed. Driven by the need to create new markets and to find new resources, England began sending ships to new and strange places to subjugate their populations or build new colonies out of ancient kingdoms for the purpose of supplying resources never before available to the European markets. This was the birth of a new kind of government, an economic empire.

With the full might of the military behind the economic drive of the few who were building influence to control government policy, England soon found reasons to invade and occupy any and all foreign lands that held important resources or who threatened the commerce of the fledgling global empire. However, fighting endless wars and supporting bases in every corner of the world was expensive to maintain for the empire of the United Kingdom. New taxes levied against the poor and working classes helped in this endeavor, but over time the wealthy corporations that controlled government now demanded they become exempt from taxation. This caused a growing deficit in the economy. With larger armies and more ships required in this new world, it was the Bank of England that developed the solution. Like the Roman Empire before it, the United Kingdom, now the British Empire, began to collect previously minted gold and silver coins and reduced the amount of the precious metals to a single grain of sand used in the fabrication of new coin currency for the purpose of creating more. Ultimately, this lowered the real value of the empire’s money in foreign lands and thus caused prices to grow.

Before long, the subtle change in the value of the English coin created an imbalance in the structure of the cultural might of the empire. With the price of a loaf of bread soaring to a full week’s wages, rebellion began to spread throughout every nation and colony that the empire controlled. Fearful that they could lose all, the king sent an operative to evaluate the situation in the Far East. Observing the unrecognized wealth of a century-old empire in rapid decline, he raced to the capital to make his report ahead of the government officials. However, instead of reporting on a stabilized government takeover, he took advantage of an opportunity of how slow information traveled and reported rebellion in the east. He then offered to buy out the interests of the noble houses accumulating all of the real wealth of the empire.

With the wealth of the empire in the hands of one man, the king’s agent formulated the first Imperial World Bank, loaning his stolen money back to the nobles, creating an economic system in which the World Bank would mint all of the Imperial coins and sell it to the government sending the Bank of England into obscurity. By the time the king had realized what had occurred, the World Bank and its assets were given the protection of the army, and all of the wealth of the kingdom could not be separated from the king’s agent. Over time, the World Bank of British Empire, also known as the East India Company, would control the value of the currency and have control over the economic policies of the empire. With the full support of the king, the World Bank would soon have agents in the governments of every nation throughout the old world and, eventually the new, operating from the shadows.

When the west began to rise and a new nation was born, the World Bank sent agents to the new world to establish control over those who proclaimed themselves free men. However, this new world was not easily tamed and the influence of the World Bank began to wane. Fearing that their power would become diluted, the World Bank secretly sent shadow agents to the Americas to inspire rebellion. This would split the Empire’s holdings reducing the King’s control over the world and establish a new system to control. Aligning themselves with the Masons, a secret ancient society, the agents of the World Bank of British Empire embedded themselves into American society and eventually forming a new American National Bank hidden within the structure of its humanistic government.

Determined, their agents went underground awaiting an opportunity to meddle in the affairs of the freemen of the new world. Meanwhile, the World Bank of the British Empire controlled the old kingdoms by means of controlling its technology through private corporations. Through the establishment of the European shadow governments by the first world bank, known only to its members as the Illuminati, corporations began to seed distrust between the European governments and sparked war on one another throughout the nineteenth century until all of the world’s wealth was concentrated among the members of the Illuminati.

The early twentieth century was punctuated by the First World War. Fought entirely in the old kingdoms, the Illuminati grew weary of waiting for an opportunity to control the new world, so they made one. Shadow Agents of the Illuminati pressured the old kingdoms to bring the new world into the war on one side or the other. To the shadow government, it did not matter to which side they would show allegiance, only that they would dedicate their resources to fight in a war on the other side of the world. The purpose of this was to create a crisis in the economy in the new world that would allow them to take control of the government much like the founders of the first world bank had done more than a century before in Europe.

The war was more costly than the people of the new world could ever have imagined. To fuel this, the shadow agents would form a second world bank. Through this new bank, the policy had been introduced to control the government of the new world and its holdings. The new bank used low interest loans to drive innovation in order to gain more influence but unlike the growth of the first world bank, it became stagnate. The members of the Illuminati called a meeting at their headquarters in Helsinki to devise a new plan. The innovations of the late nineteenth century had made the people of the new world prosperous and incorruptible. For the first time since the Roman Republic, economic growth was speeding beyond the control of the shadow government. The Illuminati had decided to steal the world’s wealth and replace it with a currency of little to no real value that they could control. To do this, they had to create a level of disparity that the world had not seen since the dark ages.

After their meeting in Helsinki, the shadow agents of the Illuminati had returned to their countries and began their work to deregulate debt. Loans were given out with little to no collateral to secure them. The world banking agents lowered interest rates to snare everyone into their trap. To cover the new cheap loans, the American World Bank began printing new money beyond the value of the gold reserves creating a false prosperity. This began to lower the value of the currency of the nation states all over the world and when the time was primed, they would close the banks and call in all of the loans massing vast collections of corporations and property. Only one nation resisted this corruption.

Because of the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles imposed on the German Kingdom after the War to End All Wars, Germany was isolated from this internment of world finances that were currently being fanned. Members of a religious order that could not be corrupted by the shadow operatives solely controlled the Banks in Germany, which had all of its currency backed by diamonds. As other nations were experiencing unparalleled abundance, the people of Germany were already feeling the loss of value in their society. In an attempt to bring foreign money into the economy, the German government was pressured to loosen their hold of the public to allow a social decadence to grow. This diabolical plan was devised to seize the wealth safely protected within the mightily gothic walls of the German cities.

To promote its economy, Germany began building a service society supported by tourism while the rest of the world was reveling in free money. The plan of the Illuminati was working. Soon every person in the western world had built debt beyond the nation’s means, and with all of the extra money in the economic system, the world was about to change. Under the control of the shadow operatives, the banks began to burn the excess money, removing it from the system and calling in their loans. This caused runs on smaller banks, causing them to close and disappear from existence. By 1929, the stock market had completely collapsed, causing a global economic crisis never witnessed in history.

All over the world, factories were forced to close, businesses were foreclosed, and as money became unavailable, everyone began to lose whatever they had unpaid debts against. The shadow agents soon possessed an abundance of businesses, factories, houses, and machines. Unfortunately for them, however, banking agents were not able to confiscate the railroad industry. As the American oil industry was consolidating under control of the banking shadow agents, the railroad companies were thriving as wealthy millionaires invested everything into dreams filled by a fire breathing iron horses.

In 1931, the shadow agents of the Illuminati in the Americas called a meeting to decide the future of the world. Held in New York City, they had laid the plans for creating a nation state-controlled and driven solely by their corporations. Requiring vast slave labor and a military machine, much like when the British Empire was formed. They began planning for the next war to unite the world under their control. Having successfully made gold illegal for people to own and placing the wealth of the Nation into their hands, the American branch had successfully replaced the gold and silver back the currency with worthless paper, which they controlled the value. Confiscating all of the gold in the Americas, the Illuminati now had the wealth to build their New World Order. Unhappy with the ravaged state of Europe, leadership of the Illuminati was seeded to the American branch.

After weeks of deliberation within the society, the organization chose the struggling Germany to form its new nation. Since the government was in complete collapse, they had decided that it was ripe for the taking. After returning to their respective countries, the agents of this new undertaking began covertly sending supplies from every nation to Germany through its banks in order to build it in their image according to their plan. As money began to flow into the German economy, a radical nationalist group began to grow. These radical sentiments took hold as the blame for years of suffering was placed on religious groups in order to capture control of the nation’s assets. Although the people of central Europe believed that they had become the architects of their own destinies, it was the agents of the Illuminati that was pulling all of the strings and holding all of the cards.

The New Illuminati called an emergency catalyst to enforce their new nation state and began to influence the upcoming German election. After the German election failed to solidify their control over the government, they had decided to take measures into their own hands. Their agents had approached the leaders of the new Nationalist Worker’s Party and explained what was about to occur and what would happen next. Providing the only choices they had, the agents of the New Illuminati told them that the Parliament building was about to be destroyed by a radical communist-socialist terrorist group. When it happens, they would have to be ready to mobilize their people to take over the country. Curious, the Nationalist leadership asked how they knew this information but the cunning of the agents would reveal nothing. They informed the Nationalists that it did not matter where the information came from, only that it was about to happen.

Later that night, the German Parliament building was burned to the ground by terrorists and a state of emergency was declared throughout the country. Within twenty-four hours of the terrible act, identification papers, which would reveal the culprit’s identity, was found among the wreckage of the building. Remarkable enough, the identification papers were not burned by the fire, which made it easy to identify the assailants. The Nationalist party was revered as heroes in the eyes of the poverty worn public. As New Germany had awakened, no one ever asked how the identity papers survived the fire? Nor, why were the Nationalist party members so efficient in being in a position to not only keep the peace but to seize the government for the good of the people? By this point, people were working again, feeding their families and no one much cared how it all happened.

The plan they had all agreed on that day in Berlin was a complicated solution. It required a highly efficient military government to exist with no opposition. An internal enemy was chosen in order to seize all forms of commerce that existed outside of the control of the New Illuminati. The ownership of the factories, labs, and banks was reallocated and was given to various agents of the New Illuminati. Their plan seemed to be working; all that was needed was to have a never ending war to unite the world under the flag of the bent cross, a symbol chosen to represent the crossed arms of the Illuminati joining the world together.

Meanwhile, back in the United States, the Great Depression was in full force. Each president desperately installed programs designed to pull the nation out of debt but as the economy was controlled by the Illuminati, nothing would work. The shadow agents were hard at work tempting failing companies with new markets in Germany. Adopting an economic policy of feast or famine, unbeknownst to them American companies began rebuilding Germany according to the designs of the Illuminati shadow agents. With an ancient model, slave camps were built; this was the backbone of the foundation of the new nation. Railroads that connected the camps to the factories were built and soon began turning out a war machine the likes the world has never before seen. Securing high-level ranks in the government, the shadow agents were above the law.

Divided and paranoid, the Illuminati found this new German government easy to influence and manipulate. Before long, German jackboots were unifying the old world while the new world prepared to enter the war. It had seemed that with careful planning, history was indeed repeating itself in favor of those who played the long game. Using centuries of wealth accumulated from the manipulation of the European markets, the Illuminati was about to achieve their prize, the New World Order. Having already controlled the American oil industry during the early days of the crash, their agents approached the government with a proposal to put the American people back to work. This proposal included a plan to build high ways across the nation, pave existing roads, and to dismantle the public transportation system that they could not control, thus preparing America’s place in the New World Government.

In the years that followed, the United States would recover from the economic collapse by adopting a European war declaration. The president and presidents to follow would give their trust the agents of the World Bank as England had done centuries before. Soon new highways were being built and old roads were becoming improved using a new petroleum products. It was not a covering that would last but one that would need regular maintenance each year. The trolley system was consolidated and burned to make way for new cars and trucks that would soon congest the new roads and highways. Finally, a covert effort was undertaken to redesign the new automobiles to depend on petroleum, a resource that the Illuminati controlled.

Once Europe was consolidated by the German war agenda, the agents of the Illuminati began the next step in the plan to reorganize the world. By this time, their agents had infiltrated all governments at the highest levels. They began to pressure the American government to join the war in Europe, thus creating the never-ending war they would require to solidify the world but the American congress was not having any of it. The American Congress voted against the war in Europe. Less than a year later, shadow agents would visit an old American ally, Imperial Japan, and pressure them to bomb the United States. In a response to the bombing at Pearl Harbor, the United States had entered the war in Europe and Asia.

After many unplanned failures caused by the unrelenting resolve of the American people, the war did not last as it was planned but the World Bank, the New Illuminati, had amassed enough gold from the war that they were unwilling to allow their plans to falter. German Nationalists affiliated with the Illuminati were brought into the United States and given new identities. Russia, who had become the U.S.’s rival for world supremacy, had been given the atomic bomb, a device so powerful that it forced the surrender of all of America’s foes, in order to perpetuate a new war. This marked the beginning of the shadow war between the U.S. and Russia. Going back and forth, this lasted for decades fueling the war economy of both nations and preparing them to conquer the remaining parts of the world.

The 1960s marked a period of great growth for both nations. The U.S. and Russia were looking to the stars. Both were striving for a better future. Recognizing that the cold war was fueled by the shadow government and unwavering corruption that was driving both nations to ruin, the president of the United States began a plan to recognize the military-industrial complex, the shadow government, and dismantle it. It was a time of great change. With the success of social programs, equal rights for all Americans on the rise, unparalleled prosperity, and controlled inflation, it was time to change the nation and return it to the people as the founders had intended but the shadow agents were too busy to deal with these changes.

The shadow agents continued their plans for world domination as they convinced President Eisenhower to meet with the leaders of France, Great Britain and the Soviet Union to discuss the fate of Berlin. Having troubles on the outlining region of their country, the Soviet Union wanted all troops withdrawn from both sides of the once great city and lasting peace between the east and west. Having had most of Illuminati operatives assassinated by Stalin, they found this to be an unacceptable outcome. Shadow agents ordered an American spy plane, the most advanced in the world, deep into Soviet territory where its cloaking technology was turned off and shot down. The peace talks soon broke down and the cold war resumed between the great nations.

With this great success of the shadow government, their arrogance grew no bounds. Their agents began whispering in the President’s ear about creating a secret spy organization to protect the United States against secret incursions from the east. Unbeknownst to him, this new Agency would be manned by the shadow agents of the Illuminati. Operating autonomously of the government, the Agency began flexing their muscles by assonating all who stood in the way of their progress toward a New World Order.
