THE GLOBAL AWAKENING
Zbigniew Brzezinski
Short introduction?
Brzezinski is a polish-american political scientist, geostrategist,
former national security advisor (77-81 under Carter). He's
frequently on the TV giving interviews, a member of the CFR,
attended bilderberg meetings, and co-founded the trilateral
commission with Rockefeller.
He talks about a very interesting topic which i will
detail by quoting and paraphrasing some of the things
he said in speeches on different occasions.
"In recent decades world wide social change has
experienced unprecedented historical acceleration
particular because instant mass communications
such as radio, television and the internet cumulatively
have been stimulating a universal awakening of mass
political consciousness. The resulting, widespread
rise in world wide populist activism is proving inimical
to external domination of the kind that prevailed in
the age of colonialism and imperialism. Persistent
and highly motivated populist resistance of politically
awakened and historcally resentful peoples to external
control has proven to be increasingly difficult to surpress.
The Geopolitical context in which we all find ourselves
which is very much defined by two new global realities.
1. Global political leadership has now become much
more diversivied in recent times. Until recently, the
world was dominated by the antlantic world as it has
been for many centuries. It no longer is.
The rise of the far east has created a new, much
more differentiated leadership. The prime players in
the world scene are the US, EU (not yet a political entity),
China, Russia, Germany, France, Great Britain, Japan,
India (rising), in the background of that we have the new
entity of G20, a much more diversivied global leadership,
lacking internal unity, with many of it's members in bilateral
antagonisms. That makes the context much more complitcated.
2. The other major change in international afffairs is that
in the first time in all of history, mankind is politically
awakened. that's a total new reality. it has not been so
for most of human history. In the course of the last 100 years,
the world has become politically awakened. Politics is a matter
of social engagement. and most people know what is generally
going on in the world, global eniqueteies, inequalities, lack of
respect, exploitation.
The combination of these two makes a much
more difficult context for any major power.
That means (the awakening) that hegemonic domination
by a single power worldwide is probably now impossible.
We don't have a situation in which there is a concentrated
source of power that has universal reach."
(talking about why there is no one world government right now,
the UN being not suitable for the position)

If i were part of the global elite, i would be fucking terrified that
some idiot turned on the flashlights in a before dimly lit room and
through that exposed me and my friends
What is the best way to further the global awakening?
What do you make of his views and ideas?
If the awakening is something that frightens the elites so much
what is the best strategy to keep it going?
