On Thursday December 29th, 2016 the Hermetic Hour with host Poke Runyon

will present a review and discussion on "Technocracy Rising" by Patrick

M. Woods 2015. This book documents the 1930's origin and rise of an

American totalitarian socio-political and economic system derived from

Plato's Republic that flourished after the 1929 crash and during the

prewar years of the Great Depression. In Technocracy scientists and

academics will manage the government of the country. Our Constitutional

Republic and its Capitalistic economy would be replaced by a

dictatorship. Technocracy's connection to the Eugenics movement and to

Nazism put it into eclipse until the 1970s -- When Technocracy reemerged

with David Rockefeller's Trilateral Commission and began to infiltrate

the U.S. government beginning with The Jimmy Carter administration in

the 1970s. Technocracy subverted the United Nations which soon became

its agent for a Technocratic World government. Like their cousins the

communists, the Technocrats claim to be democratic. They seek to replace

our currency based economic system with a cashless, energy credit

system. They have hijacked General System Theory to justify

environmental regulations to control energy. Of course the big problem

for the people under this system is loss of Freedom, loss of property,

loss of representation in government, and loss of what we consider basic

human rights. Even the socialist philosopher Bertrand Russell, when

examining Plato's Government of the philosopher kings, was forced to say

that only true democracy could protect basic human rights. So if you

want to know what the technocrats have in store for you when they get

back in office, tune in and we'll have a look.
