Remember when Liz Truss got fired as UK Prime Minister for trying to cut taxes? It wasn’t that long ago. She won a vote in September 2022 to lead Britain’s Conservative Party.

Her platform was simple: cut taxes to grow the economy. Pretty standard conservative stuff, really. But within weeks of taking office, she was forced out.

The official story was that her economic plan ‘spooked the markets’ and threatened the economy.

Here’s what really happened — and why it should terrify you about the state of democracy.

Executive Summary

Democracy has been systematically replaced by technocratic control through a 200-year evolution of financial architecture, expanded globally during the Cold War, and weaponised through moral manipulation to create compliance without consent.

The Original Template (1800s)

• Bank of England created the first ‘clearing house’ – appearing decentralised but centrally controlled
• Any bank defying the center could be cut off from the system, forcing compliance
• Model: Own nothing, control everything

Global Expansion (1913-1930s)

• Federal Reserve replicated the London model in America
• Bank for International Settlements (BIS) applied clearing-house control to entire nations
• Pattern: Create appearance of independence while controlling critical infrastructure

Universal Application    The same architecture now governs:

• Healthcare: Medical boards and insurance codes as clearing houses
• Academia: Grant systems and peer review as gatekeepers
• Media: Ad networks and platforms controlling information flow
• Business: ESG scores and credit ratings determining access to capital

The 1960s Turning Point

• JFK resisted technocratic takeover, was assassinated in 1963
• LBJ immediately implemented Planning-Programming-Budgeting System (PPBS) across all government
• Simultaneously, USSR implemented identical OGAS system after Khrushchev’s removal
• Evidence of coordination, not coincidence

The Invisible College

• International network of technocrats shared vision across supposed enemy lines
• Environmental cooperation became the public cover for technocratic convergence
• Chile’s democratic alternative (Project Cybersyn) was destroyed in 1973 CIA coup

The 1986 Venice Declaration

• Redefined science as serving moral imperatives rather than seeking truth
• Created feedback loop: Models predict crisis → moral duty to act → science validates models

The Moral Enforcement System

• Compliance reframed as virtue, dissent as evil
• Peer pressure and social shaming replace legal coercion
• Examples: ‘Stay home, save lives’ (COVID), ‘Save the planet’ (climate)

Simultaneous Global Coordination

• Health mandates, economic shutdowns, surveillance systems deployed worldwide
• Massive wealth transfer upward while populations received government dependency payments
• Information control through ‘misinformation’ censorship

• Smart cities with total surveillance
• Central Bank Digital Currencies (programmable money)
• Social credit systems determining access to society
• Information filters creating personalised reality bubbles

What They’ve Achieved

• Elected officials now announce decisions made by unelected technocrats
• Crisis-response patterns established and normalised
• Resistance framed as immoral rather than just incorrect

What’s at Stake

• Transition from advising democracy to replacing it
• Human autonomy versus algorithmic management
• Whether future generations will know what freedom was

Resistance Strategies

• Use cash and build parallel systems
• Practice peaceful non-compliance
• Support truth-tellers and defend open debate
• Build genuine local community
• Maintain spaces free from digital surveillance

The Choice:

Accept managed safety in a digital cage, or assert human agency while the window for resistance remains open. The next few years determine whether humanity retains capacity for self-governance or becomes permanently managed by unelected technocratic networks.

Bottom Line:
