Transhumanism is coming to destroy the human soul



Progressivism is a multipronged deviation from the straight and narrow that talks — or takes — people off the path to the New Jerusalem and toward false secular utopias. In this loose coalition, these otherwise unreconcilable strays are drawn in by a lack of gratitude and the sense that "better" must be anywhere other than here and anyone besides those present. And they're kept together by a Procrustean vibe – and what they've turned their backs on.

The arch-conservative Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn emphasized in both “Leftism” and “The Menace of the Herd, or Procrustes at Large” how the left – a term that encompasses the progressive movement – takes after Procrustes, the legendary highwayman of Attica.

This Luciferean movement appears eager to take the whole of our species away from the straight and narrow, presuming the raw material made in the image of God needs to change.

In Greek mythology, Procrustes, also known as Damastes, "tied his victims upon an iron bed, and, as the case required, either stretched or cut off their legs to adapt them to its length.”

Like Procrustes, progressives have a habit of socially, legally, or literally hacking away at those parts or wholes of human beings that fail to fit into their preconceived systems. The 20th century is full of atrocities in which millions of innocents were cut up because progressives in the Soviet Union, Germany, Cambodia, and elsewhere, with an eye to purportedly better futures, desired that all bodies and minds fit the lengths of their Procrustean beds.

This tendency is clear also in other progressive subgroups, such as the eugenicists and transsexual activists, who both seek to cut away at biological realities they find undesirable.

This Procrustean verve is, however, becoming especially pronounced among the transhumanists of our day.

Before noting some of the ways the transhumanist movement is working to carve up a new mankind, it is important first to note the other tendency that unites progressives.

Progressives share in common a prideful rejection of the primacy of God, the goodness of His creation, and the worth of the humanity Christ endured and elevated with his suffering, death, and resurrection. Simply put: Progressivism is Luciferian.

In the garden, the serpent — who cannot create but can only distort and destroy — told Eve of eating the forbidden fruit, “Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods.”

Eve was enticed not to emulate or follow the one true God, but to follow Satan’s example and seek divinity besides and without God, contrary to His will.

This lack of humility and the desire to be independent of God not only resulted in the fall of mankind, but has ever since stained progressive efforts to achieve immortality and to escape the humanity that was evidently valued enough by God for Christ to take on and save.

C.S. Lewis wrote in “Mere Christianity," “People often ask when the next step in evolution – the step to something beyond man – will happen. But in the Christian view, it has happened already.”

He went on to write, “In Christ a new kind of man appeared: and the new kind of life which began in Him is to be put into us.”

Technological and political innovations aside, the apex of humanity and the superlative by which the comparative “progress” should be measured was nailed to a tree two millennia ago.

The Christian understanding is that the pursuit of God and true progress means trying to follow Christ and fit the cross. After all, on the cross are perfection and immortality, which entail the very suffering and death the transhumanist seeks to eliminate.

The transhumanist endeavor, ultimately, is to pursue godhood by rejecting the cross and setting oneself down on Procrustes’ bed, cutting off anything resembling the Son of Man. In this sense, transhumanism is the epitome of regression.

Artificial wombs, brain implants, virtualization of everything in the anti-sacramental Metaverse, transsexuality – these transhumanist drives away from our humanity each substitute parts of what makes us human and human life worth living. What’s more, they amount to sterile shortcuts off the path to the New Jerusalem that cut away at the travelers who take them.

A video from Yemeni “science communicator” Hashem Al-Ghaili entitled “EctoLife: The World’s First Artificial Womb Facility” recently went viral, discussing the so-called “bioreactors” that may soon supplant mothers and enable investors to “genetically engineer” prospective children, reported the Christian Post.

The mother and the bond she enjoys with her baby, unborn and newborn, appear not to fit the transhumanists' Procrustean bed.

Rather than improve the ways we teach or understand, the transhumanists appear keen to change the raw material that is taught or comprehended. The brain implants that may one day soon help the blind to see and the lame to walk will in short order be also used – along with some version of OpenAI's ChatGPT – as stand-ins for the common man’s common sense.

The promise of Zuckerberg’s Metaverse is that we can skip the messy, real interactions between human beings that we have long enjoyed, at least up until the pandemic, and instead stream into false realities remotely. The new humanity need not risk adventure or moral consequence in the world of flesh and bone that God deemed good. These experiences will join our common sense and the other cuttings at the foot of Procrustes' bed.

G.K. Chesterton reminds us in “Orthodoxy” — the book that helped set the militant atheist and World War I infantryman C.S. Lewis on his way to Christian conversion — “You may, if you like, free a tiger from his bars; but do not free him from his stripes. Do not free a camel of the burden of his hump: you may be freeing him from being a camel.”

The transhumanist prong of the progressive movement is doing precisely that: freeing us camels of our humps.

This Luciferean movement appears eager to take the whole of our species away from the straight and narrow, presuming the raw material made in the image of God needs to change, as opposed to the will and moral reflexes of the immortal, albeit imperfect, persons animating it.

“If you are on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; and in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive,” wrote Lewis.

The progressive coalition and all its Procrustean subgroups, transhumanism in particular, appear to have taken a wrong turning and are desperate for us to go with them, bereaving us of our proverbial humps along the way. For all their hacking and dreaming, their efforts to go forward have not brought them anywhere nearer the place where we all ought to be: not like gods, apart from God, but with God in Christ.

The WEF's plan to control you



The idea of the “metaverse” is synonymous with Mark Zuckerberg.

In 2021, Zuckerberg — half robot, half man — renamed his corporation from Facebook to Meta. Ever since, his primary goal has been to forge the “metaverse,” a virtual reality environment in three dimensions. However, he’s not the only one exploring this brave new world.

The World Economic Forum is also actively exploring the metaverse.

Make no mistake about it: If the WEF has its way, your metaverse identity will be used to monitor, predict, mold, and mimic your behavior.

The unelected globalists in Davis recently published a rather sobering report emphasizing the significance of digital IDs, biometric data capture, and behavior profiling and how all three will shape our identities in the metaverse.

In a new 48-page report, eerily titled “Metaverse Identity: Defining the Self in a Blended Reality,” the WEF suggests that, as people "spend more time exploring, playing and socializing in digital experiences, a person’s metaverse identity will be central to their day-to-day life as well as to the way they express their personal identity.”

The concept of metaverse identity consists of three key elements:

  • Representation: This involves personal, social, and role identity, which can be expressed through avatars, pseudonyms, or other digital forms.
  • Data: This refers to the vast amount of information about individuals collected by the hardware and software supporting the metaverse.
  • Identification: This includes various forms of identification such as driver's licenses, government-issued IDs, passports, birth certificates, attestations, labels, or usernames and passwords.

The report highlights that metaverse identity expands the traditional notion of "identity" by integrating it with the digital infrastructure of the internet. In short, it's a complex framework that encompasses everything from representation to data and identification.

Identity in the metaverse, we’re told, “connects and anchors a person to the physical and virtual world.”

The concept of representation, meanwhile, involves how individuals present and express themselves, whether through a realistic portrayal or more abstract, creative interpretations. This includes visual representations and verbal expressions, actions, behaviors, and mannerisms. This aspect of representation also ties into behavior profiling, which is evident in biometric profiling, data capture, and various identification processes. If you are imagining communist China, then yes, you are on the right track.

Furthermore — and this is a crucial point — introducing digital entities in the metaverse will redefine the notion of representation. These digital entities can embody humans, objects, systems, or abstract ideas and possess varying levels of interaction, autonomy, and behavior within digital environments. Worryingly, any issues with your digital replicas could impact your real-life existence. Today, the line between the physical and digital you is somewhat blurry. Tomorrow, that line will be nonexistent.

The fact that the WEF, the international organization behind the Great Reset initiative (you will own nothing and be happy with owning nothing), is so interested in shaping the metaverse should worry anyone who values his freedom — or what little remains of it, anyway.

As mentioned in the comprehensive report, the metaverse identity data category focuses on collecting and examining data in order to draw conclusions about individuals — their likes, dislikes, political philosophies, etc. Using AI and machine learning, this data is used to anticipate and predict behavior patterns. Yes, like something out of "Minority Report." According to the WEF, when combined with AI and ML models, this data enables the analysis of a person's interactions, movements, and preferences, ultimately generating the person's identity.

Whether these inferred data points capture current activities, predict future actions, or anticipate preferences, they offer insights into an individual's identity. Furthermore, these attributes can influence how the virtual environment responds to an individual and how outsiders perceive the individual. Imagine this technology in the hands of Klaus Schwab and his colleagues, all of whom are vested in manipulating human behavior and exerting control over people's thoughts and actions.

This is not unfounded fearmongering. The report clearly states that lawmakers could easily “use aggregated inferred data for surveillance, monitoring dissidents or suppressing certain groups without their active consent.”

Which means they probably will.

But, some will say, “I want no part of the metaverse. I refuse to even entertain the idea of entering it.”

Although I applaud your commitment, you and your loved ones may have little option but to participate, especially if the metaverse becomes the internet’s next chapter. If everything is online, then, I ask, how do you plan to remain offline?

Also, your metaverse identity could be your passport, the golden ticket needed to participate in the online world. Make no mistake about it: If the WEF has its way, your metaverse identity will be used to monitor, predict, mold, and mimic your behavior. It will determine what information you can and cannot access and what information you can and cannot share. You have been warned.

This is NOT a joke — Yuval Harari, WEF contributor, suggests DRUGS and COMPUTER GAMES for 'USELESS PEOPLE'



It’s certainly ironic that the World Economic Forum, an international organization supposedly dedicated to improving the state of the world, harbors the idea that people can be “meaningless and worthless.”

That’s a direct quote from Yuval Noah Harari, advisor to Klaus Schwab, founder of the WEF.

Harari predicts that future developments in artificial intelligence will inevitably result in mass unemployment.

“The biggest question in maybe all of economics and politics of the coming decade will be what to do with all of the useless people,” Harari says.

By “useless people,” he means all of the displaced workers who used to have jobs before AI ripped them from their hands.

He is concerned that this unfortunate group will become bored and need some way to find meaning in their lives because “they’re basically meaningless and worthless,” he says.

How gracious of him to consider the plight of the expendables.

But lucky for them, Harari, in all his profound wisdom, is already thinking toward a solution: “My best guess at present is a combination of drugs and computer games as a solution for most.”

No, that is not a joke. That is not taken out of context. He actually suggests total incapacitation as a solution for unemployed people.

And yet somehow it gets even worse.

“Transhumanism boiled down to its bones is pure eugenics,” Harari says.

For those who don’t know, transhumanism is the theory that humans can essentially become immortal by evolving beyond their current physical and mental limitations while eugenics is the study and practice of tampering with gene pools to increase the likelihood of desirable traits while reducing the likelihood of undesirable traits.

“History began when humans invented gods,” Harari says, “and will end when humans become gods.”

“Only the non-useless [people] will go along with transhumanism,” he continues.

This kind of thinking and talk might be great inspiration for the next big dystopian novel, but to even consider these ideas played out in reality is beyond despicable.

Harari’s message “certainly has echoes from our history,” Stu says.

And it’s absolutely true – Hitler, who was also a supporter of eugenics, preached similar ideas to brainwash the Germans.

Unfortunately, many Germans thought, “No, it’s the shiny new future,” Glenn says, “and they allowed it to happen because the old system wasn’t working.”

Our current system may not be working, but “we must not allow it to happen this time,” Glenn pleads.

Dark Future: Uncovering the Great Reset’s TERRIFYING Next Phase | Ep 288

American adventure is UNDER ATTACK, and THIS story proves it



Back in 2008, Disney released the movie “WALL-E.” In the film, humans, who have departed Earth on a galactic cruise ship, are so engulfed in their screens that they don’t even know what a real tree looks like any more. Their pathetic lives have become entirely virtual.

Although undoubtedly exaggerated, “WALL-E,” in some sense, was oddly clairvoyant.

Our heavily digital world will likely become even more digital, as VR has been named the answer to many questions around sustainability.

With new “green” initiatives, travel and adventure – things that once made someone interesting and enviable – have been rebranded as selfish and myopic.

Why? Because airplanes and cars allegedly emit harmful emissions and pollutants into the air, and that certainly isn’t in line with the various environmental protection movements gaining momentum across the United States and Europe especially.

“They are trying to get you to now look at traveling the world or the country as a bad thing,” Glenn Becks explains.

He then tells the hypothetical story of Johnny, a boy who was born with wanderlust coursing through his veins. By the time Johnny turned 16, he was already making plans to venture to the moon, much to the dismay of his mother, who had been busy forming plans of her own.

One night, “she sneaks into her son’s bedroom while he’s asleep,” Beck says, “and straps [a VR] headset to him.”

“When he wakes up, he finds himself on the moon, and he never leaves his room again. … Johnny is safe.”

“Isn’t that what adventuring and exploring is all about? Safety?” Glenn mockingly asks.

“Now this sounds insane, but this is exactly where we’re headed.”

This theory can’t be chalked up to mere speculation, either. There are seeds being planted to villainize travel right now.

In response to the Titan submersible tragedy, MSNBC released an article that read: “I think this tragic incident affords us an opportunity–in fact, gives us a mandate–to devise safe ways for people to satisfy their adventurous spirits and educational urges.”

[...]

“As people consider safer ways to explore, I can’t help but think this terrifying scenario is precisely why the concept of the Metaverse, that is a virtual world reachable through a wearable device, will never die.”

“This is where we’re headed,” Glenn responds. “The death of adventure, the death of exploration in exchange for safety.”

“Just put your kid behind a screen or in glasses until they become the people of ‘Wall-E,’” he criticizes.

Glenn wants us all to ask ourselves these questions this July Fourth:

“Are giant corporations in charge? Is government in charge?”

“Are we going to be told what to do and how to do it at all times?”

“How do we have human experiences when we’re in a world of VR?”

“What are we willing to allow tech to replace in our lives?”

“We as America should be asking ourselves this coming holiday: Who are we, where did we come from, and more importantly, where is it we are headed? Is that where we want to go? If not, we should chart a different course,” he concludes.

Commentary: Transhumanism seeks to dismember mankind to fit Procrustes' bed when we should be fitting ourselves to the cross of Christ



Progressivism is a multipronged deviation from the straight and narrow that talks — or takes — people off the path to the New Jerusalem and toward false secular utopias.
