One of the fundamental forces at work in our world is that the wealthy elite wish to preserve both the wealth of the world and right to that wealth for themselves. This wealth was largely accumulated prior to the 20th century or at the very beginning of the 20th century, and for the US, for example, this wealth is protected via Foundations and applied for supposed charitable purposes or for the good of society. It’s so easy to forget that these wealthy and powerful families can easily dictate the social, political and educational trends and preferences of our world. Indeed, one of the powerful ways they go about protecting their capital and their power is to drive the rest of the population towards a collectivist model.
The recently released documentary Hidden Influence: The Rise of Collectivism seeks to chart how their influence and control has evolved. I quote from the YouTube page for this video:
Hidden Influence: The Rise of Collectivism is the first film in a 3 part saga. This chapter documents how the ruling class, through their billion dollar foundations, have infiltrated the public education system in the west and have used it as a tool to indoctrinate children into a totalitarian ideology. This film explores the chronological paper trail uncovered by Charlotte Iserbyt, who was fired from her post as the Senior Policy Advisor for the United States Department of Education in 1982 when she released classified documents discussing the use of technology, specifically computers to psychologically manipulate American students. We will then examine an investigation into the influence of these foundations, launched by the United State congress in the 1950’s. Finally we will fast forward to today and look at how the philosophy these foundations have sponsored for the last 100 years has, and continues to effect the education system today, and how Canadian children are being indoctrinated into the same collectivist brainwashing as their American counterparts. At the same time we will examine the role of these foundations in promoting radical, authoritarian ideologies on college and university campuses.
End of quote.
In my opinion, there are layers behind this that are even less visible and more powerful than the ones identified herein; however, this documentary does an excellent job of identifying and illustrating these forces at work in our world. I commend this documentary to you.
