“The technetronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values.

These files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities. “Today we are again witnessing the emergence of transnational elites…[whose] ties cut across national boundaries… It is likely that before long the social elites of most of the more advanced countries will be highly internationalist or globalist in spirit and outlook…. “A national information grid that will integrate existing electronic data banks is already being developed…. The projected world information grid, for which Japan, Western Europe, and the United States are most suited, could create the basis for a common educational program, for the adoption of common academic standards…. “The nation-state is gradually yielding its sovereignty. … In the economic-technological field, some international cooperation has already been achieved, but further progress will require greater American sacrifices. More intensive efforts to shape a new world monetary structure will have to be undertaken, with some consequent risk to the present relatively favorable American position.” -- Zbigniew Brzezinski, “Between Two Ages: America’s Role In The Technetronic Era“, 1970 Zbigniew Brzezinski: =================== 10th United States National Security Advisor (January 20, 1977 – January 20, 1981, President Jimmy Carter) Political party Democratic Born March 28, 1928 Warsaw, Second Polish Republic Profession Politician, critic (hmmmmmmm)
