Chapter 1 Introduction
Modernity Simplified
What is all this verbiage by Project Humanbeingsfirst TM really all about? Is there a reductionist
and simplified explanation at the level of a 'poor-man'?
Yes. In the simplest terms: 'Might defines right'.
This leads to “Hegemony is as old as mankind”.
That in turn leads to the following psychological pathocracy – some call it empire:
●
If we don't have real enemies then we have to create or imagine some, and yell 'we are
being attacked' in order to, principally:
●
a) justify one's hegemonic barbarianism upon others; and
●
b) motivate an unwilling plebeian peoples into sacrificing for the conquests of the
oligarchic elite.
Euphemistically, today as the winning empire, this is called “imperial mobilization”.
Grotesquely, for previously defeated empires, it is called “quest for Lebensraum”.
That's all there is to it.
All which follows is only in further examination of how that is accomplished under the veneer of
“democracy”, because, in the absence of such deception, “democracy is inimical to imperial
mobilization”. That quoted statement was made by Zbigniew Brzezinski in his 1997 book: The
Grand Chessboard – American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives.
This “quest for Lebensraum” (German word for acquiring more space as an imperative), ahem,
“imperial mobilization” of the ruling oligarchy, the ubermensch (German word for superior,
above all others), just happens to be the age-old quest for one-world government in disguise.
