For a while, there have been efforts to facelift the Malthusian-transhumanist bent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution with a patina of New Age spirituality by a perception in “aware evolution,” equivalent to that propagated by futurist Barbara Marx Hubbard. But, however Hubbard’s lofty invocation of “Christ consciousness,” her religion in aware evolution holds that, with the intention to mitigate overpopulation crises, pure sources should be rationed by “sustainable growth” economics whereas human sources should be neo-eugenically culled and biotechnologically engineered into a brand new transhuman species. Actually, with the blessings of Rockefeller philanthropy, Hubbard, who promoted sustainable growth on the United Nations (UN) and collaborated with identified Malthusians from teams just like the World Financial Discussion board (WEF) and the Membership of Rome, was one of the vital radical advocates of inhabitants discount within the identify of non secular evolution.
Throughout the web, there was broad circulation of an excerpt from an unpublished manuscript wherein Hubbard declared that “one-fourth” of humanity will must be culled with the intention to usher in a utopian New Age Order:
“[o]ut of the complete spectrum of human persona, one-fourth is elected to transcend . . . One-fourth is damaging. . . . They’re faulty seeds. Prior to now they have been permitted to die a ‘pure loss of life.’ . . .
Now, as we method the quantum shift from the creature-human to the co-creative human—the human who’s an heir of god-like powers—the damaging one-fourth should be eradicated from the social physique. . . .
Luckily, you aren’t chargeable for this act. We’re. We’re accountable for God’s choice course of for planet Earth. He selects, we destroy. We’re the riders of the pale horse, Demise.”
In my earlier article on this sequence on Barbara Marx Hubbard, I had been unable to hint the provenance of the unpublished manuscript. Since then, I carried out some additional sleuthing, and I used to be in a position to observe down a replica of the manuscript within the possession of lawyer Constance Cumbey, who’s the acclaimed creator of the The Hidden Risks of the Rainbow: The New Age Motion and Our Coming Age of Barbarism. Cumbey bought a number of copies of the manuscript on a number of events, together with as soon as from Hubbard personally and as soon as from Rama Vernon, who orchestrated a sequence of Soviet-American Residents Summits that Hubbard attended together with Doug Coe, who was the figurehead of the Christian Fellowship Basis, and Paul Temple, who funded the Fellowship and based the Institute of Noetic Sciences the place Hubbard preached her Malthusian gospel of “aware” transhuman evolution. For the complete backstory on Cumbey’s exposé of Hubbard’s manuscript, watch the interview Courtenay Turner and I carried out at Cumbey’s property.
Now that Hubbard’s notorious manuscript has been verified, it deserves an explication on this sequence. Henceforth, this text will study how the manuscript, which is titled “The Revelation: Various to Armageddon (From the Ebook of Co-Creation: An Evolutionary Interpretation of the New Testomony),” reveals additional proof of Hubbard’s Malthusian-transhumanist imaginative and prescient of the longer term. Furthermore, this text will explicate how Hubbard’s “Various to Armageddon” preaches a gospel of Malthusian “disaster” evolution that was impressed by her non secular idol, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin; shared by her kindred evolutionary, Jonas Salk; and bankrolled by her beloved benefactor, Laurance Rockefeller. Moreover, this text will present how Hubbard’s gospel of disaster evolution is being resounded by the WEF to push Malthusian insurance policies beneath the banner of “sustainable growth” to additional the transhumanist Fourth Industrial Revolution. Moreover, this text will doc how the legacies of Salk and Rockefeller proceed to propel Malthusian “sustainable growth” and transhuman evolution by the Salk Institute, Venrock, the UN, and the World Wildlife Fund.
Within the subsequent and closing article on this sequence, I’ll reveal how Hubbard’s affiliations with the World Future Society, the Human Potential Motion, and the Basis for Aware Evolution have been related to networks of alleged pedophiles and sexual abuse cults.
Baptism by Teilhard de Chardin’s Malthusian-Eugenic Disaster of Noetic Delivery
In “Barbara Marx Hubbard: Godmother of Transhumanism and Artificial Spirituality,” which was the primary article on this sequence, I historicized how Hubbard’s imaginative and prescient of “aware” transhuman evolution was impressed by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. A Malthusian-eugenicist and Jesuit priest, Teilhard de Chardin pontificated that overpopulation is fomenting an ecological tipping level culminating in a “disaster of start,” which is able to convey in regards to the noetic evolution of human consciousness. In response to Teilhard de Chardin, the “noosphere,” or noetic “thoughts sphere,” of the universe is a cosmic “intelligence,” or “consciousness,” that evolves by human consciousness and, by extension, expertise, which is spurred by Malthusian crises.
Not solely was Hubbard’s transhumanism rooted in Teilhard de Chardin’s gospel of cosmic “disaster” evolution by the noetic “thoughts sphere” of the universe. However Hubbard’s Malthusian outlook on inhabitants progress and sustainable growth, which has influenced UN Agenda 2030 and the WEF’s Nice Reset, was likewise impressed by Teilhard de Chardin, who believed human overpopulation needs to be eugenically culled with the intention to save the Earth from ecological “crises” that threaten the “start” of evolutionary progress.
In a 1936 letter that was printed in Letters to Léontine Zanta, Teilhard de Chardin asserted that, “at one and the identical time there needs to be official recognition of: 1. The precedence/primacy of the earth; 2. The inequality of peoples and races” (298). Equally, in a posthumously printed ebook titled Towards the Future, he pontificated that the “evolution” of the “noosphere” is based upon (1) the worldwide “upkeep . . . of the pure sources obtainable within the continents, which feed man’s particular person and social physique”; and (2)the “efficient management, each in amount and high quality, of replica with the intention to keep away from over-population of the earth or its invasion by a much less passable ethnic group” (299). In short, in each his non-public letters and public writings, Teilhard de Chardin advocated the Malthusian-eugenic management of the world’s pure and human sources by the eugenic management of inhabitants high quality and the Neo-Malthusian management of inhabitants amount in tandem with Malthusian conservation of restricted environmental sources.
In one other ebook titled The Way forward for Man,Teilhard de Chardin posited that, with the intention to avert “famine” and different ecological catastrophes from overpopulation, the human species would wish to cull its personal inhabitants all the way down to a “most” dimension whereas eugenically engineering the suitable ratios and proportions of a “racial hygienic” caste hierarchy ranked in accordance with “totally different ethnic sorts.” In a chapter titled “The Instructions and Situations of the Future,” which resounded the alarm of “Mr. [Henry] Fairfield Osborn [Jr.’s]” Malthusian treatise, Our Plundered Planet,Teilhard de Chardin postulated how:
“earth’s inhabitants started to shoot up in an alarming vogue. . . . Now we all of the sudden see the saturation level forward of us, and approaching at a dizzying pace. How are we to stop this compression of Mankind on the closed floor of the planet . . . from passing that vital level past which any enhance in numbers will imply famine and suffocation? Above all, how are we to guarantee that the utmost inhabitants, when it’s reached, shall be composed solely of parts harmonious in themselves and blended as harmoniously as potential collectively? Particular person eugenics (breeding and training designed to provide solely the most effective particular person sorts) and racial eugenics (the grouping or intermixing of various ethnic sorts being not left to probability however effected as a managed course of within the proportions most useful to humanity as an entire) each, as I nicely know, come up in opposition to apparently insuperable difficulties, from the perspective of technical organisation and from that of psychological resistance. However this doesn’t alter the truth that the issue of constructing a wholesome Mankind already stares us within the face and is rising extra acute day by day” (295).
To place it one other means, for Teilhard de Chardin, the collective noetic evolution of the planetary ecosystem and the human species requires that the Earth’s restricted sources be stewarded by a eugenically engineered elite who should implement Malthusian contraception insurance policies geared toward culling “unprogressive ethnical teams” from the human inhabitants in order that these “unfit” races don’t squander the planet’s pure sources.
In yet one more ebook titled Human Vitality, Teilhard de Chardin professed, “[n]ow eugenics doesn’t confine itself to a easy management of births. All types of associated questions . . . are connected to it. What basic perspective, for instance, ought to the advancing wing of humanity take to mounted or undoubtedly unprogressive ethnical teams? The earth is a closed and restricted floor. To what extent ought to it tolerate, racially or nationally, areas of lesser exercise?” These rhetorical questions insinuate that “unprogressive,” or “lesser,” races needs to be the first targets of inhabitants management with the intention to stop such “unfit” races from consuming the eugenic elite’s share of the Earth’s restricted pure sources. In The Way forward for Man, Teilhard de Chardin indicated that the “unprogressive” hominids, who’re basically synonymous with the “unfit,” are those that balk on the “super-humanisation” and “planetisation of Mankind” which is important to consciously plan the collective noetic evolution of the human species and planet Earth.
To make certain, Hubbard didn’t overtly avow “race hygiene” eugenics. However, echoing Teilhard de Chardin, Hubbard did envision that human inhabitants would must be culled, and that the expendable populations would inevitably be those that are usually not spiritually “match” to “progress,” or “evolve,” their consciousnesses towards noetic transhumanization and collective sustainable growth. In “The Revelation: Various to Armageddon,” Hubbard referred to “one-fourth of humanity” who’re “faulty seeds” and due to this fact “should be eradicated from the social physique.” Hubbard declared that “[i]t is a case of the destruction of the entire planet, or the elimination of the ego-driven, godless one-fourth who, presently of planetary start, can, if allowed to reside on to breed their faulty disconnection, destroy ceaselessly the chance of Homo sapiens to develop into Homo universalis, heirs of God.” In short, though Hubbard didn’t explicitly espouse old style “race hygiene” eugenics, she did consider within the cosmic necessity of a “non secular,” or “aware,” Malthusian-eugenics that decrees the culling of 1 / 4 of the inhabitants with the intention to save the planet and harness the noetic transhuman evolution of homo universalis.
Within the official publication of The Revelation: Our Disaster Is a Delivery,Hubbard, like Teilhard de Chardin, postulated the Malthusian disaster of the “limits to progress” disaster and the “inhabitants disaster” as a “disaster of our planetary start” [1]. Equally, in Human Vitality, Teilhard de Chardin declared,
“[t]oo a lot iron, an excessive amount of wheat, too many vehicles . . . and even too many youngsters. . . . [W]e should ask what this extra manufacturing means. Is the world condemned, because it grows, to automated loss of life by stifling beneath its personal extreme weight? Under no circumstances, we’d reply. It’s in course of gathering to itself a brand new greater physique. At this disaster of start, every part is dependent upon the immediate emergence of a soul which by merely showing will come to arrange, lighten, and vitalize this mass of stagnant and confused matter. . . . The sources at our disposal at present, the powers that we now have launched, couldn’t presumably be absorbed by the slender system of particular person or nationwide models which the architects of the human earth have hitherto used. . . . The age of countries has handed. Now, except we want to perish we should shake off our previous prejudices and construct the earth.“
Briefly, Teilhard de Chardin believed that the overpopulation of the human species and the over-commoditization of the Earth’s pure sources are triggering a Malthusian “disaster” that can spark the “start” of a newly developed system of worldwide governance over all of the environmental sources throughout “the human earth.”
Mirroring Teilhard de Chardin in her 1998 Aware Evolution: Awakening the Energy of Our Social Potential, Hubbard warned that there’s an pressing “disaster” which may solely be averted by the “start” of a “planetary system” designed to regulate human inhabitants progress, pure useful resource consumption, and environmental air pollution [2]. In a chapter titled “Our Disaster Is a Delivery,” which can also be the subtitle to the official publication of The Revelation [1], Hubbard asserted that:
“[w]e should shift to renewable, nonpolluting sources of vitality. We really feel the pangs of starvation growing as inhabitants escalates and increasingly more of us are hungry. Throughout us our previous life-support methods are breaking down. What labored earlier than has develop into damaging. We shouldn’t have a lot time to vary. . . .
But, regardless of our worry and ignorance, we’re studying to handle a planetary system. . . .
Our disaster is a start. We’re one residing system and we now have come to the restrict of 1 section of pure progress on a finite planet. . . .
[W]e may even see ourselves as planetary midwives serving to to ship ourselves as a planetary system towards our subsequent stage of life.” [2]
Barbara Marx Hubbard, The Revelation: Our Disaster Is a Delivery (The Ebook of Co-Creation) (Sonoma, CA: Basis for Aware Evolution, 1993)
Equally, in her 2012 ebook, Delivery 2012 and Past, Hubbard professed that Malthusian ecological calamities ensuing from overpopulation, overconsumption, and air pollution are catalyzing a world “birthing disaster”: “[i]f you take a look at planet Earth as an entire system, it’s apparent that we’re overpopulating, [sic] we’re polluting, and we’re operating out of sources. Like an toddler that’s reaching the ‘due date’ of its start, we’re overgrowing ‘the womb’ of the Earth. Our ‘birthing’ disaster is inflicting ache and struggling for thousands and thousands, in addition to the potential destruction of our life help system” [3].
In response to Hubbard, this “disaster” will “start” the collective-conscious evolution of a brand new transhuman: species in tandem with a brand new world order:
“The urgency of our world disaster is inflicting folks to get up all around the planet. . . . What’s now being born is reworking the previous state of affairs with the prospect of recent options; and . . . it’s serving to to create a brand new world . . .
And so, I consider . . . our disaster is probably the start of a extra co-evolving, cocreative [sic] humanity. . . .
[A] new sort of human is rising within the face of our shared world disaster. I name these pioneers ‘common people’ . . . This new individual is shifting towards cosmic consciousness and an ever-deepening spirituality.” [3]
In “Various to Armageddon,” alluding to the Membership of Rome’s Malthusian treatise, Limits to Progress, Hubbard described this world “disaster of start” as a Malthusian “meta-crisis of limits” that’s midwifing the human species by a noetic “start canal,” which is able to beget a “born once more” transhuman species that may circumvent the “limits to progress” by evolutionary applied sciences, together with “cybernetics,” “robotics,” and genetic engineering:
“[w]e entered the ‘start canal.’ The meta-crisis of limits started. Useful resource scarcity, over-population, air pollution, alienation, confusion, malaise in regards to the future, disconnection with the previous. Consultants with a womb-perspective advocated a ‘return’ to the easier previous, an adaptation to limits, a program of most conservation, and no progress. Futurists wrote of a paradigm shift from self-centered to whole-centered. Evolutionaries evangelized the prolonged gospel of Christ-capacities for all. Concurrently these capacities turned on. These have been the ‘post-natal’ applied sciences, developed throughout the womb of Earth to be used after start within the common setting past the biospheric womb of Earth: astronautics, genetics, longevity, cybernetics, robotics.”
It’s eager to notice right here that, in “Various to Armageddon,” Hubbard professed that the “common lady,” or homo universalis, “provides start to the primary pure Christ,” and that “[t]his first pure Christ is transhuman, supra-human.” In different phrases, in accordance with Hubbard, “Christ-capacities,” that are “turned on” by “‘post-natal’ applied sciences,” are “transhuman” capacities which might be noetically “birthed” by the “meta-crisis of limits” to inhabitants progress and useful resource consumption.
To sum up, Hubbard carried the torch for Teilhard de Chardin’s Malthusian-eugenic “disaster” gospel as she prophesied that Malthusian “crises” would give “start” to a noetic “Christ consciousness” which might technocratically engineer the sustainable evolution of a brand new transhuman species. At present, the WEF has adopted a “disaster of start” ethos to drive the Nice Reset by exploiting the COVID-19 “disaster” as a chance to speed up the “start” of a sustainable transhumanist Fourth Industrial Revolution. In a WEF “Sustainable Growth” article printed in 2020 and titled, “Now Is the Time for a ‘Nice Reset,’” WEF Founder and Chairman, Klaus Schwab, proclaimed that “[t]he COVID-19 disaster is affecting each side of individuals’s lives in each nook of the world. . . . [T]he pandemic represents a uncommon however slender window of alternative to replicate, reimagine, and reset our world to create a more healthy, extra equitable, and extra affluent future” by “Harnessing the Fourth Industrial Revolution.”
Hubbard and Salk: Kindred Consciousnesses, Malthusian Evolutionaries
Hubbard’s Malthusian-eugenic disaster cosmogeny was additionally shared by her “kindred spirit,” Jonas Salk [1], who was additionally influenced by Teilhard de Chardin. Finest often known as the acclaimed virologist who developed the primary broadly administered polio vaccine, Salk, who was employed by the UN to compile a report on overpopulation, advocated for Malthusian inhabitants management as a essential situation of aware evolution. Salk’s legacy continues on by the Salk Institute for Organic Research, which was shaped with the assistance of Hubbard. At present, the Salk Institute, which has ties to the WEF, is selling elements of the “sustainable growth” agenda, whereas additionally advancing aware transhuman evolution by analysis and growth initiatives specializing in genetic engineering and synthetic intelligence (AI) for “computational neurobiology.”
In 1964, Hubbard met Jacob Bronowski, who knowledgeable her that he was working with Jonas Salk to ascertain the Salk Institute for Organic Research. In response to Hubbard’s autobiography, she turned excited in regards to the prospects of the Salk Institute, and Bronowski put her in contact with the writer of the Scientific American, Gerry Piel, who “was forming a society for the [Salk] institute” [4]. In flip, Hubbard proposed to Piel that the Salk Institute set up a “‘Theatre for Humanity’ to dramatize rising values based mostly on our information of the evolution of life” [4]. These “rising values” would function a cultural medium that might steer the evolution of human consciousness towards compatibility with the technological evolution of human biology and human civilization.
Piel prompted her to jot down up her proposal, which she drafted right into a letter that she despatched to the Salk Institute the place Jonas himself learn it. Within the Ebook of Co-Creation: Our Disaster Is a Delivery, Hubbard remembers how Salk telephoned her again to say, “You might have expressed my dream . . . You might have acknowledged my imaginative and prescient much more clearly than I may . . . [W]e should be two peas in the identical pod! Could I take you out to lunch?” Instantly thereafter, in accordance with Hubbard’s autobiography, she and Salk referred to one another as “kindred spirits” [1].
Accompanied by Warren Weaver, who was the Chairman of the Board of the Salk Institute, Jonas rendezvoused with Hubbard. In The Starvation of Eve: One Lady’s Odyssey Towards the Future, Hubbard in contrast this expertise to “Eve stepping out of the backyard” and “consuming of the Tree of Life. It meant studying the best way to develop into a aware participant within the designing means of life, discovering the legal guidelines of the universe, . . . and studying to cooperate with ‘the gods’—or the method of evolution” [4]. Throughout this encounter, Hubbard requested, “Jonas, so that you consider Teilhard was proper about humankind uniting into one physique, a brand new organism progressing towards an unknown future?” [4]. Salk responded, “Sure, after all, that’s pure” [4].
Later that very same day, Hubbard professed, “Jonas, I wish to assist convey forth within the arts a brand new picture of humanity commensurate with our capability to form the longer term” [4]. Salk replied:
“Barbara, . . . You and I are scooped out of the identical genetic materials. . . . We’re psychological mutants . . . From time to time evolution produces exactly the appropriate sort of individual for the wants of the time. You’re such an individual: a bearer of evolution. It’s all in you. You’ve obtained the script inside, the attraction for the longer term, the will to be chargeable for the entire, your willingness to be taught, to attach separate disciplines and folks. You’re a bi-valent bonding mechanism. You’ve obtained hooks at each ends!” [4].
In Aware Evolution, Hubbard narrates how she requested Salk “what was ‘fallacious’ with me — my love of the longer term and my want to attach with every part. He smiled and stated, ‘Barbara, these are usually not faults, [sic] these are precisely the traits wanted by evolution. You’re a mutant’” [2].
In response to Hubbard’s biography, she would later meet up on the Salk Institute with Jonas, “Jerry Hardy, the writer of LIFE,” and “one other ‘scoop’ of the identical genetic materials, Al Rosenfeld, science editor of LIFE journal” [4]. Hubbard relays that “Jonas needed to convey the best molecular biologists from the world to the institute to do analysis into the fundamental information of life; then the humanists and the artists have been to comply with. However he had not completed the buildings, and already I used to be designing the primary play on the stage of the Theatre of Humanity. I used to be forward of what might be executed” [4].
This deadlock would finish Hubbard’s involvement with the Salk Institute, however she and Salk would proceed to share widespread commitments to spreading the “rising values” of aware evolution. In three books, Man Unfolding, Survival of the Wisest, and Inhabitants and Human Values, Salk, like Hubbard, propagated Malthusian praxis as a cultural primer for aware evolution.
In his 1972 ebook, Man Unfolding, Salk advocated that humankind should “unlearn” its conventional “philosophies” whereas “consciously” evolving “new” methods of “values” and “guidelines” that can “convey a few measure of management over progress each of inhabitants and of greed in man, excesses of every of which may be regarded as cancers of man.” In a chapter titled “Well being as Wholeness,” Salk posited that, with the intention to avert ecological “injury that could be irreparable,” the cancers of overpopulation and overconsumption should be excised by pushing the human species to “transfer consciously to kind an organism of mankind as a part of an eco-system associated to a function. . . . [T]he type of exclusiveness and competitiveness which have pre-vailed, which are inclined to exhaust somewhat than preserve sources, . . . will, in time and of necessity, should be abated.” Acknowledged in another way, Salk postulated that Malthusian ecological catastrophes will be prevented by the superorganic evolution of collective-conscious “values” and “guidelines” for controlling overpopulation and sustaining “restricted sources.”
To consciously evolve a Malthusian tradition of inhabitants management and proto-sustainable growth, in accordance with Salk, the “genetic-somatic” evolution of human biology should be augmented by the “culture-induced evolution” of human consciousness. Salk hypothesized that human evolution is pushed by the dialectical “mechanisms” of ecology, biology, and consciousness, together with the dialectics “of organism and setting, of genes and soma, and of instinct and mind,” respectively. In flip, Salk resolved that the “new man,” whom Hubbard known as “homo universalis,” or the “common human,” should harness aware evolution to steer the ecological dialectic between the human organism and the pure setting by making use of his “mind” and “instinct” to progressively invent new technological and cultural strategies of stewarding pure and human sources. In consequence, the “new man,” in accordance with Salk, will consciously “result in consonance between his outer setting and his interior self.”
In “Various to Armageddon,” Hubbard mirrors Salk’s name for Malthusian inhabitants management as a vital aspect of collective-conscious evolution:
“[t]hey had reached a restrict to progress: air pollution, stagnation, over-population. . . .
Within the late interval of the biosphere, human beings have reached a degree the place they’ll not proceed to breed themselves. You might have reached a restrict to progress on planet Earth. To breed yourselves you’re transcending yourselves. You might have found the sample of synergistic self-organization. Synergizing people working to beat limits develop into the sample wherein the co-creative human emerges.”
Hubbard added that “[t]he advance by nature means the aware evolution of yourselves as a god-like species, stewarding this Earth and all life on it.” Acknowledged in another way, Hubbard, like Salk, believed that Malthusian limits to inhabitants progress would catalyze the aware evolution of a brand new “co-creative human,” which might synergistically steward the planet’s pure and human sources.
In his 1973 Survival of the Wisest,Salk expanded on his principle of how Malthusian overpopulation crises instigate the genesis of evolutionary epochs throughout which consciousness and genetics coevolve. Borrowing from Lamarckean epigenetics and Maslow’s psychology of being, Salk postulated that aware evolution, which steers organic evolution, is pushed by the dialectic between “BEING” and “EGO,” whereas organic evolution is fueled by the dialectic between genetics and somatics.
In response to Salk, because the bioevolutionary drive of genetic replica culminates in overpopulation, ecological crises threaten the survival of BEING, which is the teleological kernel with which consciousness is endowed by the “Cosmos.” Consequently, these ecological crises spark a revolution in consciousness that redirects EGO, which capabilities because the cognitive middleman between the consciousness of BEING and the pure setting, towards collectively regulating inhabitants progress and useful resource consumption by scientifically and technologically reorganizing sociocultural and political-economic methods. It’s price noting right here that Salk’s notion of BEING as consciousness is an invocation of Abraham Maslow’s transhumanist “psychology of being” [5]. Maslow, who was Hubbard’s mentor, arrange the Eupsychian Community the place Hubbard collaborated with figureheads of the Esalen Institute and the Human Potential Motion together with different aware “transhumanistic” evolutionaries devoted to pastoring “all societies and all peoples . . . towards turning into one world and one species” [5].
For instance Salk’s Malthusian principle of aware evolution, Survival of the Wisest examined charts that quantify the overpopulation predictions of Paul Ehrlich, who wrote the Inhabitants Bomband Ecoscience: Inhabitants, Assets, Setting, each of which take into account sterilization, abortion, and meals rationing insurance policies as bulwarks in opposition to ecological catastrophes brought on by overpopulation. In Survival of the Wisest, Salk in contrast the Malthusian forecasts projected by Ehrlich with inhabitants information calculated by eugenicist Raymond Pearl. Funded by the Rockefeller Basis, Pearl, who was a participant within the League of Nations World Inhabitants Convention, charted fruit fly inhabitants progress, which was graphed as sigmoid curve information. Salk analyzed Pearl’s fruit fly inhabitants curve in distinction with lemming and human inhabitants curves with the intention to estimate whether or not the inhabitants progress curve of the human species, which is hitting its Malthusian inflection level, will show to reflect the fruit fly sigmoid curve, which ranges out, or the lemming curve, which cycles by “periodic disaster . . . with monumental lack of life.” In short, Salk posed the query: will humanity consciously cease itself from bringing about overpopulation catastrophes, or will the dire predictions of Ehrlich’s Inhabitants Bomb come true? The reply to this query, in accordance with Salk, is dependent upon whether or not human consciousness can “metabiologically” evolve new “values” that domesticate Malthusian management of inhabitants progress and useful resource consumption.
Though Salk speculated that the “future inhabitants progress in Man will are inclined to stabilize at an optimum stage described by an S-shaped curve,” he nonetheless warned that “[a] main menace to the species is attributed to the growing dimension of the human inhabitants” and that the “diagrams” explicated in Survival of the Wisest “additionally present that former attitudes in respect to progress in inhabitants can not proceed. Now self-imposed restrictions of freedom on this respect will likely be essential not solely to protect different freedoms however to maintain the standard of life from falling to a stage that might quickly develop into insupportable.” To make certain, Salk postulated that “the sigmoid curve of inhabitants progress . . . reveals that survival relies upon upon the event of means for the adjustment of the habits of people acceptable to safety from autodestruction.” So as to “shield” the human species from “autodestruction,” Salk posited that crucial “self-imposed restrictions” should embody “controlling births.”
In response to Salk, because the human inhabitants progress curve hits its potential sigmoid “inflection level,” there’s a shift from “Epoch A” to “Epoch B.” Throughout Epoch B, the human species will both be decimated on account of ecological catastrophes, or humankind will consciously evolve new cultural “attitudes and values” into a brand new “set of ideas of metabiology” that can “information the event of the BEING and EGO of Man” by Malthusian insurance policies, together with inhabitants management and useful resource conservation, which is able to “convey Man’s agenda and Nature’s agenda into nearer concord.” Equally, in “Various to Armageddon,” Hubbard forecasted that humankind should consciously evolve “together with planetary shifts that are occurring at a metasystem stage” with the intention to harness “co-creative applied sciences” that may save “a closed-system Earth” from the ecological “breakdown” of “rising inhabitants” and “air pollution.”
Eight years after the publication of Survival of the Wisest, the sigmoid curve information and the “epochal change” principle in that ebook have been rehashed in one other ebook, Inhabitants and Human Values: A New Actuality, which was co-authored in 1981 by Salk and his son, who have been commissioned by the UN Fund for Inhabitants Actions (UNFPA) to compose the ebook as “a report” analyzing UN “projections of inhabitants progress.” In compiling Inhabitants and Human Values,the Salks collaborated with the UN Chief of the Estimates and Projections Division, Shunichi Inoue. The Salks additionally consulted with “Rafael Salas, Tarzie Vittachi, and T. N. Krishnan of the UNFPA” together with Carl Haub of the Malthusian-eugenic Inhabitants Reference Bureau. It’s price noting right here that Hubbard additionally collaborated with the UN the place she gave a speech selling the UN Sustainable Growth Targets (SDGs), which affirm the Neo-Malthusian inhabitants insurance policies of the UN Worldwide Convention on Inhabitants and Growth.
In Inhabitants and Human Values, the Salks analyzed “demographic information [that] present a foundation on which to debate the connection between adjustments in inhabitants progress patterns and adjustments in human attitudes, values, and habits.” Primarily based on the information, the Salks estimated that “we will anticipate the human inhabitants progress curve to comply with a sigmoid sample. The extent of the plateau [of the sigmoid curve] remains to be unsure, nonetheless, and is topic to human affect. Within the years to return, we face the problem of understanding and facilitating a slowing of human inhabitants progress and, finally, of adapting to the circumstances related to a comparatively fixed inhabitants dimension.” However, the Salks asserted that, “[a]lthough we now have turned a nook and the speed of world inhabitants progress is presently lowering, world inhabitants dimension remains to be quickly growing and can proceed to take action for a lot of many years to return. The additional slowing of progress would require enlargement of household planning packages and a basic enhance in availability of social, well being, and academic providers.” Failing to institute such inhabitants management insurance policies, in accordance with the Salks, may result in “a complete collapse of the human inhabitants.”
Echoing the Salks’ “epochal change” principle of aware Malthusian evolution, Hubbard envisioned “a time of quantum transformation” when overpopulation and useful resource depletion could be offset by household planning and euthanasia insurance policies whereas, on the identical time, “superior medical applied sciences” could be harnessed to “prolong life” and “construct new our bodies” for the brand new “common life” of a transhuman homo universalis. In a passage from “The Revelation: Various to Armageddon,” which is reprinted nearly verbatim in The Revelation: Our Disaster Is a Delivery [1], Hubbard wrote:
“at a time of quantum transformation, . . . ‘[b]e fruitful and multiply’ goes too far and turns into over-population. ‘Protect all life’ goes too far and leads to undesirable technological prolongation of animal/human existence. ‘Give meals and shelter to the folks’ turns into the over-industrialization, air pollution, inflation, and useful resource depletion by the developed world. . . .
The suggestions from the setting is quickly informing you to cease doing sooner or later what was essential previously.
‘Be fruitful and multiply’ turns into ‘consciously conceive chosen youngsters who will likely be given the chance of optimum growth.’
‘Protect all life’ turns into ‘the chance for chosen loss of life, and chosen prolonged life.’ Thanatology and gerontology enter the scene. Demise will be chosen by those that have completed their work on Earth. The aim of superior medical applied sciences is to not preserve animal/human our bodies in a semi-vegetative state. It’s for use by the minds motivated to do new work within the new environments of outer area, to increase life, change our bodies, and finally construct new our bodies accustomed to the brand new circumstances of common life.”
At present, Hubbard’s futurist prescriptions for Malthusian inhabitants management and aware transhuman evolution are being superior by the Salk Institute. Despite the fact that Hubbard parted methods with the Salk Institute throughout its incubation interval, her Malthusian imaginative and prescient of aware transhuman evolution, which was shared by Salk, is mirrored within the analysis and growth initiatives of the Salk Institute, which has been contributing to sustainable growth whereas engineering the constructing blocks for the brand new transhuman our bodies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Actually, the Salk Institute, which experimented with “RNA-targeting CRISPR-Cas expertise to destroy the SARS-CoV-2 virus’ RNA” in 2020, has carried out in depth analysis advancing “genetic engineering,” together with “CRISPR-Cas9 genome modifying,” “gene editing-based stem cell therapies,” and “a new Salk device, known as CasRx,” which may “goal . . . RNA.” On the identical time, members of the Salk Institute’s Computational Neurobiology Laboratory and the Salk Institute’s Programs Neurobiology Laboratory, with the assistance of the US Workplace of Naval Analysis and the Protection Superior Analysis Venture Company (DARPA), have been enhancing transhuman AI consciousness by “instructing synthetic intelligence to . . . ‘suppose’ like people” by “computational mannequin[s]” that “simulate . . . how the mind’s prefrontal cortex . . . management[s] the circulate of knowledge between totally different areas of neurons.” It’s price noting right here that Nicola Allen, who’s an Affiliate Professor of Molecular Neurobiology on the Salk Institute, is a member of the WEF, which is likely one of the key teams on the helm of pushing transhumanism and Malthusian sustainable growth because the cornerstones of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the Nice Reset.
Hubbard and the Sustainable-Malthusian Globalism of the Rockefeller Dynasty
Hubbard’s Malthusian outlook towards aware evolution was shared not solely by Salk, but additionally by her “beloved patron,” Laurance S. Rockefeller [2], who bankrolled her Basis for Aware Evolution, which requires “radical evolutionary applied sciences” to be bolstered as cures for “a fancy sequence of crises, most particularly environmental . . . crises, [which] are performing as evolutionary drivers pressuring us to innovate and rework.” Rockefeller, whose Venrock enterprise capital agency has bankrolled transhumanist science and applied sciences, together with biotech, nanotech, and AI, is praised by Hubbard in 5 of her books over a span of twenty-two years between 1993 and 2015 [1] [2] [6] [7] [8]. Not solely did the transhumanist pursuits of Rockefeller and Hubbard converge, however in addition they shared the widespread perception that Malthusian ecological crises should be met with world “sustainable growth” insurance policies entailing human inhabitants management and environmental conservation.
In response to a biography titled Laurance S. Rockefeller: Catalyst for Conservation, Laurance championed the Malthusian ecological philosophy of “his brother JDR [John D. Rockefeller] third, whose curiosity in inhabitants management he shared.” The Malthusian philanthropies of Laurance and John D. III, the latter of whom was the chairman of the US Fee on Inhabitants Progress and the American Future, have been impressed by their father, John D. Rockefeller Jr., who funded Nazi eugenics packages by the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Anthropology, Human Heredity, and Eugenics. The Malthusianism of Laurance and John D. III was additionally impressed by John D. Jr.’s crony, Henry Fairfield Osborn Jr. The son of Henry Fairfield Osborn Sr., who was a co-founder of the American Eugenics Society (AES), Osborn Jr. was additionally the cousin of Frederick Osborn, who was each a director of the AES and a co-founder of John D. III’s Inhabitants Council. It was Frederick Osborn who professed that eugenic targets might be extra successfully attained by “crypto-eugenics” beneath the guise of “household planning” and Malthusian ecology, the latter of which is a pillar of Hubbard’s transhumanist schema for “aware evolution.”
In Laurance S. Rockefeller: Catalyst for Conservation, Laurance’s biographer data how “the younger LSR [Laurance S. Rockefeller] discovered from him [Henry Fairfield Osborn Jr.] fairly early in regards to the world’s rising downside with overpopulation — an curiosity shared with JDR third . . . Above all, LSR recalled, Osborn helped him to grasp ‘collaborating in doing,’ not merely . . . in passive philanthropy, however in taking part in an lively function inside his philanthropic pursuits.” Laurance was so impressed by Osborn Jr. that he beamed about how he “felt they shared an ‘interrelated vitality discipline’; years after they met, Osborn acknowledged the youthful man’s related curiosity, sending him a portrait inscribed, ‘from one rogue to a different.’” Not solely was Osborn Jr. a muse for Laurance’s Malthusian ecological philanthropy, however “[o]ver the years Osborn and LSR labored collectively on many initiatives, from the targets of Save-the-Redwoods to the event of the Bronx Zoo right into a Wildlife Conservation Society.” In 1972, honoring the legacy of his deceased Malthusian mentor, Laurance wrote a Reader’s Digest article on “The Most Unforgettable Individual I Ever Met,” which lauded “Osborn’s dynamism, . . . his writings on the post-war inhabitants explosion, and his sense of worldwide duty.’”
A couple of decade after Laurance’s loss of life, he was equally eulogized by Hubbard within the dedication to her 2015 Evolutionary Testomony of Co-Creation [7]. As I doc in “Barbara Malthusian Hubbard: From Limits to Progress to Agenda 2030,” out of the 5 books wherein Hubbard lauds Rockefeller, 4 of them advance Hubbard’s requires inhabitants management and sustainable growth with the intention to avert Malthusian crises [1] [2] [6] [8]. Along with spreading Hubbard’s Malthusian disaster gospel by bankrolling her books, Laurance additionally financed a Rockefeller Brothers Fund “Environmental Program” that “conduct[ed] scientific anticipatory evaluation” of “the way in which wherein inhabitants, sources, meals, capital, air pollution, and values work together.”
On prime of funding Malthusian disaster propaganda and Malthusian environmental packages, Hubbard’s Rockefeller benefactor based the Conservation Basis, which was later merged with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). The WWF had been arrange by Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands; Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh; and Julian Huxley:
- A former Nazi storm trooper, Prince Bernhard, who was additionally a founding father of the Bilderberg Group, was the “honorary sponsor” of the Third Annual Assembly of the WEF. At this 1973 Annual Assembly, Membership of Rome co-founder, Aurelio Peccei, who met personally with Hubbard in 1972, preached the Malthusian gospel of Limits to Progress, which might lay the groundwork for the sustainable growth initiatives of UN Agenda 2030 and the WEF’s Nice Reset. The Limits to Progress thesis was resounded by Hubbard in a number of of her books, together with Aware Evolution[2]; Delivery 2012 and Past[3]; Emergence: The Shift from Ego to Essence[8],and the printed and unpublished variations of the “Ebook of Co-Creation” [1] [6].
- Prince Philip, who was kin to Prince Bernhard and a number of other different members of Hitler’s Nazi Occasion, was the father of the present King of the UK, Charles III, who launched the WEF’s Nice Reset and the Terra Carta mandate of the Sustainable Markets Initiative. In an anthology titled If I Have been an Animal, which donated gross sales royalties to the WWF, Prince Philip confessed that he was “tempted to ask for reincarnation as a very lethal virus” to cull the “inhabitants explosion” of the “human species” and, in flip, shield “endangered species.”
“[t]he recognition of the concept of an optimum population-size [sic] (after all relative to technological and social circumstances) is an indispensable first step in direction of that deliberate management of populations which is important if man’s blind reproductive urges are to not wreck his beliefs and his plans for materials and non secular betterment. The popularity of the truth that the wild life [sic] of the world is irreplaceable, however that it’s being quickly destroyed, is important if we’re to understand in time that areas should be put aside the place, within the final pursuits of mankind as an entire, the unfold of man should take second place to the conservation of different species.”
Not solely was the World Wildlife Fund arrange by these distinguished Malthusians with the assistance of Russell E. Practice, who was a Rockefeller Brothers Fund trustee. However the WWF, which advances UN Agenda 2030 by the UN Excessive-Degree Political Discussion board on Sustainable Growth, has explicitly advocated for Malthusian household planning packages. In short, for the WWF, wildlife conservation and human inhabitants management are interlinked parts of sustainable Malthusian growth. It’s price noting right here that, in a 2020 WWF video, Sir David Attenborough, who’s a WEF member, known as for “stabilis[ing] the human inhabitants as little as we pretty can.” Additionally it is price noting that quite a few different WEF members are additionally WWF officers, together with Shi Wang, David Dao, Andreas Follér, Jim Sano, David Miller, Emilio Tenuta, Yuan Jiakai, Julia Novy, Carter Roberts, Mei Dewen, William Smith Stubbs, Rasmus Helveg Petersen, David Hoyle, Victoria Fuentes, Oscar Soria, Razan Al Mubarak, Jayesh Ranjan, Frances Seymour, Erin Simon, and Bubba Prepare dinner.
Wildlife conservation and inhabitants management are equally hitched collectively by Hubbard in “Various to Armageddon,” which asserts that, with the intention to save “animals” from “killers,” a planetary “tribulation” should ensue in order that “[t]he killers should not survive to develop into common people”:
“[h]uman historical past has been a troublesome and as but incomplete effort to beat the mammalian defect programmed in our genes—killing animals and one another. We’re heading towards the start canal with this defect uncorrected . . . [H]undreds of thousands and thousands are nonetheless killing animals and one another.
That is why tribulations should be so extreme in your planet. The killers should not survive to develop into common people.”
Satirically, Hubbard’s treatment for the killing of wildlife is the selective culling of human beings. It may be inferred that the “killers” who “should not survive” belong to the “one-fourth” of the “faulty seeds” who should be “destroyed” with the intention to midwife humankind by its cosmic Malthusian start disaster into a brand new transhuman species. Discover right here that this passage reinvokes Hubbard’s “start disaster” eschatology by the imagery of “heading towards the start canal.” Discover additionally that this passage echoes Huxley’s decree that “man should take second place to the conservation of different species.”
Hubbard additionally collaborated with WWF trustee Maurice Sturdy, who served alongside her on the World Advisory Board of the World Future Society. In response to Laurance S. Rockefeller: Catalyst for Conservation, Laurance had “conversations with and excessive regard for such people as Maurice Sturdy from the United Nations.” Actually, Laurance was a member of the US delegation to the 1972 UN Convention on the Human Setting, which was led by Sturdy, who later arrange the 1992 UN Earth Summit Convention the place the Millennium Growth Targets (MDGs) of UN Agenda 21 have been established because the precursors to the SDGs of UN Agenda 2030. In the meantime, Laurance financed a battery of “sustainable growth” initiatives as trustee of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. It’s eager to notice right here that SDG 5.6 affirms the Neo-Malthusian “household planning” tenets of the Program of Motion of the UN’s 1994 Worldwide Convention on Inhabitants and Growth.
The godfather of the SDGs, Sturdy was a WEF Basis Board member who additionally crossed paths with Hubbard on the State of the World Discussion board (SWF), which was orchestrated by the primary and solely president of the Soviet Union: Mikhail Gorbachev, who was additionally a member of the Malthusian Membership of Rome. The SWF additionally introduced collectively an array of Hubbard’s New Age “allies” together with key WWF officers, together with the WWF Senior Program Officer, Jaime Cavelier, and the WWF Chair, Ruud Lubbers, who was additionally the Prime Minister of the Netherlands. On the identical time, the SWF additionally included a number of members of the WEF and the Membership of Rome together with Laurance’s nephew, Steven C. Rockefeller, who was the Chair of the Worldwide Drafting Committee of Earth Constitution, which Gorbachev co-created with Sturdy as a UN Agenda 21 proxy by a merger of Gorbachev’s Inexperienced Cross Worldwide and Sturdy’s Earth Council. In response to the Rockefeller Brothers Fund web site, Steven Rockefeller “turned an RBF trustee in 1977 and joined Laurance and a number of other like-minded cousins in embracing spiritually grounded approaches to a brand new ecological ethos.”
It’s price noting right here that the Rockefeller dynasty not solely bought and donated the land upon which the UN headquarters have been constructed. However the home of Rockefeller additionally financed among the UN World and Worldwide Inhabitants Conferences that paved the way in which for the Neo-Malthusian inhabitants insurance policies which might be embedded into the SDGs of UN Agenda 2030, which Hubbard endorsed throughout her 2016 tackle to the UN Excessive-Degree Discussion board on the Tradition of Peace. Additionally it is price noting that Laurance’s Rockefeller Brothers Fund and his enterprise capital agency, Venrock, have financed “sustainable growth” applied sciences since 1980, they usually proceed to make investments in “sustainability” enterprises at present.
In sum, Laurance Rockefeller and Barbara Marx Hubbard shared a typical Malthusian imaginative and prescient of aware transhuman evolution. By means of collaborations with the UN, each Laurance and Barbara superior the Malthusian inhabitants insurance policies that undergird the SDGs of Agenda 2030, which was spawned by their mutual comrade, Maurice Sturdy. By proxy, Gorbachev’s SWF introduced collectively Sturdy, Hubbard, and Laurance’s nephew together with prime officers from the UN, the WEF, the Membership of Rome, and the WWF, all of that are pivotal establishments driving the Malthusian SDG initiatives of the Nice Reset and the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Briefly, Hubbard’s liaison with Laurance Rockefeller intersected by momentous positions on the Malthusian nexus of world governance establishments, such because the UN; globalist Spherical Desk NGOs, such because the WEF, the SWF, and the Membership of Rome; and non-profit environmentalist foundations, such because the WWF.
Disaster, Response, Answer
Altogether, Hubbard’s gospel of Malthusian-transhumanist disaster evolution was impressed by her noetic muse, Tielhard de Chardin, shared by her “kindred spirit,” Jonas Salk [1], and bankrolled by her “beloved patron,” Laurance Rockefeller [2]. Whereas Salk compiled Malthusian inhabitants experiences for the UN, Rockefeller helped form the formation of the WWF and took part in Maurice Sturdy’s UN Convention on the Human Setting, which laid the groundwork for Agenda 2030 and the Neo-Malthusian SDGs that Hubbard endorsed on the UN Excessive-Degree Discussion board on the Tradition of Peace. At present, Jonas’s Salk Institute and Laurance’s Venrock, alongside along with his Rockefeller Brothers Fund, are advancing “sustainable growth” initiatives and transhumanist biotechnologies that align with their beforehand acknowledged views. In the meantime, because the Nice Reset is barreling ahead, Hubbard’s disaster collectivism has been assimilated by the WEF, which has been stoking fears of environmental crises and public well being crises in an effort to goad populations into submitting to the biotech mandates and “sustainable growth” overhauls of the transhumanist Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Ostensibly, these alarms of worldwide crises might be tabulated as proof validating Hubbard’s evolutionary disaster prophecy. Nonetheless, these crises might be contrived, exaggerated, or deliberately mismanaged with the intention to foment the ostensive emergencies essential to coerce folks into capitulating to the “sustainable” transhumanist technocracy of the Nice Reset and the Fourth Industrial Revolution. At a 1975 Lindisfarne Fellows convention titled “Aware Evolution and the Evolution of Consciousness,” Salk gave a presentation that was contextualized throughout the prospects of a technocratic elite manipulating Malthusian crises with the intention to impose draconian methods of totalitarian management beneath the pretense of “disaster administration.” William Irwin Thompson, the founding father of the Lindisfarne Affiliation, which was funded by Laurance Rockefeller, prefaced Salk’s lecture with the premise that “we live in one of many biggest historic crises” which may pose “completely no different future forward of us however a type of authoritarian convergence of the military-industrial complicated and the multinational firms making a type of disaster administration by which a type of new elite, presumably a pc scientist elite, will use the crises to achieve new controls and handle society to take over.”
Whether or not natural or astroturfed, environmental crises and public well being crises are being leveraged by the technocratic globalist elites of the WEF and the UN with the intention to speed up the sustainable transhumanist growth overhauls of the Nice Reset and the Fourth Industrial Revolution. It’s maybe moot to quibble over whether or not the worldwide elite sincerely intend to avoid wasting the planet and evolve the human species, or whether or not they surreptitiously intend to “take over” the world. In both case, it stays incumbent upon conscientious free thinkers to balk when globalist elite technocrats, equivalent to Klaus Schwab, or New Age gurus, equivalent to Barbara Marx Hubbard, supply Malthusian-transhumanist “options” which might be arguably worse than the crises themselves.
Within the subsequent and closing article on this sequence, I lastly will unveil how Hubbard’s affiliations with the World Future Society, the Human Potential Motion, and the Basis for Aware Evolution have been related to networks of alleged pedophiles and sexual abuse cults.
