Technocracy’s Endgame: Global Smart Grid

“There is a new world wide web emerging right before our eyes. It is a global energy net*work and, like the internet, it will change our cul*ture, society and how we do busi*ness. More impor*tantly, it will alter how we use, trans*form and exchange energy.” – Terrawatts.com home page

Intro*duc*tion

The dark horse of the New World Order is not Com*mu*nism, Socialism or Fas*cism: It is Technocracy.



The devel*op*ment and imple*men*ta*tion of Smart Grid tech*nology in the U.S. – reinventing the elec*trical grid with Wifi-enabled dig*ital power meters – is pro*ceeding at break*neck speed. Although Smart Grid is the result of years of gov*ern*ment plan*ning, the recent kickoff was made pos*sible through mas*sive “green” grants that were qui*etly included in Pres*i*dent Obama’s eco*nomic stim*ulus package starting in 2009.



These lucra*tive grants have drawn in a host of cor*po*rate players, from utility com*pa*nies to dig*ital meter man*u*fac*turers to con*trol soft*ware ven*dors. Global com*pa*nies like IBM, GE and Siemens are putting their full effort behind the “build-out” that will con*sol*i*date all of America into a single, inte*grated, communication-enabled elec*tric delivery and mon*i*toring system, col*lec*tively called Smart Grid.



Pro*po*nents of Smart Grid claim that it will empower the con*sumer to better manage his or her power con*sump*tion and hence, costs. The utility com*pa*nies will there*fore be more effi*cient in bal*ancing power loads and require*ments across diverse markets.
How*ever, like car*nival barkers, these Smart Grid hock*sters never reveal where or how Smart*Grid came into being, nor what the ulti*mate endgame aims to achieve; per*haps most of them have no idea either, but simply repeat the mantra as if they know what they are talking about.



In Smart*Grid: The Imple*men*ta*tion of Tech*noc*racy?, I revealed the back*ground of both Tech*noc*racy and Smart Grid, and most impor*tantly, the links between them. Smart Grid is born out of Tech*noc*racy and not the other way around.



Tech*noc*racy is a total*i*tarian system of gov*ern*ment where sci*en*tists, engi*neers and tech*ni*cians mon*itor and con*trol all facets of per*sonal and civic life – eco*nomic, social and polit*ical. Herein lies the real danger: Who are these unelected con*trollers and why should anyone believe that they would be benev*o*lent dic*ta*tors instead of tyrants? Amer*i*cans are a freedom-loving people who would cer*tainly reject Technocracy’s stealth takeover, if only they were aware of it. Indeed, Amer*i*cans did point*edly reject Tech*noc*racy in the 1930′s!
Thirty years ago, a researcher’s mantra was “Follow the money, follow the power.” This must now be restated: “Follow the energy, follow the power.”
Require*ments

In 1932, Tech*noc*racy, Inc. called for the destruc*tion of price-based eco*nomic sys*tems and the cre*ation of an energy-based accounting system that would mea*sure inputs and out*puts of human activity in terms of energy pro*duc*tion, dis*tri*b*u*tion and con*sump*tion. The require*ments for a suc*cessful system was co-authored by M. King Hub*bert, a young geo-physicist who later devel*oped “Hubbert’s Peak Oil Theory” that pro*vided intel*lec*tual backing for the modern envi*ron*mental or “green” movement.



Specif*i*cally, Hub*bert detailed the require*ments for a suc*cessful imple*men*ta*tion of Technocracy:

  1. “Reg*ister on a con*tin*uous 24 hour-per-day basis the total net con*ver*sion of energy.
  2. “By means of the reg*is*tra*tion of energy con*verted and con*sumed, make pos*sible a bal*anced load.
  3. “Pro*vide a con*tin*uous inven*tory of all pro*duc*tion and consumption
  4. “Pro*vide a spe*cific reg*is*tra*tion of the type, kind, etc., of all goods and ser*vices, where pro*duced and where used
  5. “Pro*vide spe*cific reg*is*tra*tion of the con*sump*tion of each indi*vidual, plus a record and descrip*tion of the indi*vidual.” [Scott, Howard et al, Tech*noc*racy Study Source, p. 232]

Of course, the tech*nology to ful*fill these require*ments did not exist in 1932. How*ever, it is worth noting that Tech*noc*racy Inc.’s lead*er*ship was inti*mately familiar with the early work of Inter*na*tional Busi*ness Machine’s (IBM) com*puting tech*nology. They clearly envi*sioned a time in the future where the advance*ment of the tech*nology would meet the min*imum level nec*es*sary to imple*ment these requirements.



That day of advanced tech*nology has come and the project is now called Smart Grid. The endgame is to imple*ment a mod*ern*ized ver*sion of his*toric Tech*noc*racy on a national, con*ti*nental and global basis.



It is strongly rec*om*mended that the reader care*fully review Smart*Grid: The Imple*men*ta*tion of Tech*noc*racy andCarbon Cur*rency: A New Begin*ning for Tech*noc*racy? to gain a solid per*spec*tive on the his*tor*ical aspect of Technocracy.



Some would argue that it is mere coin*ci*dence that these require*ments are fully met with Smart Grid tech*nology. How*ever, the rea*sons for the exis*tence of Tech*noc*racy in the 1930′s are the same rea*sons given today: Energy effi*ciency, load bal*ancing, fair*ness, alle*vi*ating poverty and hunger, etc.



The feigned con*cern for those in poverty and hunger in the under*de*vel*oped nations is hollow. Tech*noc*racy is point*edly amoral in its prac*tice: The means (their sci*en*tific method/process) jus*ti*fies the end, what*ever the end might turn out to be.
Going Global

In addi*tion to the United States, Smart Grid is being imple*mented in both Canada and Mexico. Plan*ners are working on stan*dards that will inte*grate all of North America into a single, uni*fied Smart Grid system.
More*over, there is a serious ini*tia*tive underway to create a Global Smart Grid that will inte*grate all the con*ti*nents on the globe!
The Global Energy Net*work Insti*tute (GENI) presents this Dymaxion ™ Map of the world from the per*spec*tive of the North Pole that reveals the global grid cur*rently under con*struc*tion. The only part of planet earth left untouched is Antarc*tica. The yellow lines rep*re*sent high-voltage elec*trical trans*mis*sion links that are capable of trans*fer*ring large amounts of energy from con*ti*nent to continent.

The GENI project is gath*ering momentum and is endorsed by the Dalai Lama, Arch*bishop Desmond Tutu, Sen. James Jef*fords (I-VT) and Noel Brown (North Amer*ican Director, United Nations Envi*ron*mental Pro*gram), the United Nations and by the gov*ern*ments of Canada New Zealand, Switzer*land, and China, among others.



The nature of the global grid is revealed on the Ter*rawatts website:
“There is a new world wide web emerging right before our eyes. It is a global energy net*work and, like the Internet, it will change our cul*ture, society and how we do busi*ness. More impor*tantly, it will alter how we use, trans*form and exchange energy.



“There is no energy supply problem, there is an energy dis*tri*b*u*tion problem, and the emerging solu*tion is anew world wide web of elec*tricity.” (Color and emphasis in orig*inal text)
The con*cept of a Net*work of Things was pre*sented in “Smart Grid: The Imple*men*ta*tion of Tech*noc*racy?” As the tra*di*tional Internet con*nects people (e.g., Face*book, e-mail, videos, web sites), the Energy Web will con*nect inan*i*mate objects like ther*mostats, appli*ances, meters, sta*tion con*trollers, data col*lec*tion and con*trol com*puter sys*tems, etc. for the auto*matic bal*ancing of load con*sump*tion across the target power grid. Once com*puter pro*grams and algo*rithms are in place, such a grid will operate autonomously with min*imal human intervention.
Gen*esis of Global Smart Grid: R. Buck*min*ster Fuller

The GENI web*site credits the late R. Buck*min*ster Fuller (1895 – 1983) as the con*cep*tual father and designer of the global energy net*work. In his 1982 book, Crit*ical Path, Fuller wrote,
“This world elec*tric grid, with its omni-integrated advan*tage, will deliver its elec*tric energy any*where, to anyone, at any one time, at one common rate. This will make a world-around uni*form costing and pricing system for all goods and ser*vices based real*is*ti*cally on the time-energy meta*bolic accounting system of Universe.



“In this cos*mi*cally uni*form, common energy-value system for all humanity, costing will be expressed in kilowatt-hours, watt-hours and watt-seconds of work. Kilowatt-hours will become the prime cri*teria of costing the pro*duc*tion of the com*plex of meta*bolic involve*ments per each func*tion or item. These uni*form energy val*u*a*tions will replace all the world’s wildly inter-varying, opinion-gambled-upon, top-power-system-manipulatable mon*e*tary sys*tems. The time-energy world accounting system will do away with all the inequities now occur*ring in regard to the arbi*trarily maneu*ver*able inter*na*tional ship*ping of goods and top eco*nomic power structure’s banker-invented, inter*na*tional balance-of-trade account*ings. It will elim*i*nate all the tricky banking and securities-markets exploita*tions of all the around-the-world-time-zone activ*i*ties dif*fer*ences in oper*a*tion today, all unbe*knownst to the at-all-times two bil*lion humans who are sleeping.”
If this sounds familiar, it should: It is an unvar*nished re-hash of 1930′s-style Tech*noc*racy, except on a global, versus con*ti*nental, scale. Elec*tricity is deliv*ered equally to all, and the the price-based eco*nomic system is replaced by a “time-energy world accounting system” based on kilowatt-hours, watt-hours and watt-seconds.



There is no evi*dence that such a system will ever work, but that hasn’t stopped global groups from rushing head*long into this global ini*tia*tive. Take, for instance, the World Eco*nomic Forum…
World Eco*nomic Forum and Cli*mate Change

If a skeptic were to ques*tion the seri*ous*ness of orga*ni*za*tions like Ter*rawatts and GENI, they should con*sider that the elitist World Eco*nomic Forum (WEF) has thrown its col*lec*tive weight behind the ini*tia*tive. It has man*aged to link the advance*ment of Smart Grid to the reduc*tion of carbon emis*sions, thus promising a tan*gible way to fight global warming.
Founded in 1971, the WEF meets annu*ally in Davos, Switzer*land. Atten*dees are mostly the “who’s who” of the global elite.



The WEF pre*sented a major progress report in Jan*uary 2011 titled, “Energy Industry Part*ner*ship Pro*gramme“:


“Accel*er*ating Suc*cessful Smart Grid Pilots, a World Eco*nomic Forum report devel*oped with Accen*ture and industry experts, sets out the cen*trality of smart grids as key enablers for a low-carbon economy and in response to increas*ingly growing energy demands. Over 60 industry, policy and reg*u*la*tory stake*holders were engaged in the Accel*er*ating Suc*cessful Smart Grid Pilots report, to iden*tify the fac*tors that deter*mine the suc*cess, or oth*er*wise, of smart grid pilots… There is an oppor*tu*nity to launch the next wave of devel*op*ment towards a lower carbon energy system, and suc*cessful smart grid pilots will be a key step in this process.” [emphasis added]
Mark Spelman, Global Head of Strategy at Accen*ture, par*tic*i*pated in the WEF’s Smart Grid Work*shop in 2010. When asked the ques*tion, “What value can Smart Grid add in the next 30 years?”, Spelman replied, “Smart Grids are absolutely fun*da*mental if we are going to achieve some of our cli*mate change objec*tives. Smart Grids are the glue, they are the energy internet of the future and they are the cen*tral com*po*nent which is going to bring demand and supply together.“
Spelman may not call him*self a Tech*no*crat, but he cer*tainly uses the lan*guage of Tech*noc*racy like a pro.
The IEEE Stan*dards Association

The global energy net*work, or Smart Grid, will operate according to uni*ver*sally accepted engi*neering stan*dards that make data and energy flows com*pat*ible with each other. Who will supply such stan*dards? The ven*er*able Insti*tute of Elec*trical and Elec*tronics Engi*neers, or IEEE
The IEEE claims that it is “the world’s largest pro*fes*sional asso*ci*a*tion ded*i*cated to advancing tech*no*log*ical inno*va*tion and excel*lence for the ben*efit of humanity.” Founded in 1884, it has been involved with elec*tricity stan*dards and devel*op*ment since Thomas Edison invented the light bulb. Today, how*ever, the IEEE is mas*sively global, with 395,000 mem*bers in 160 coun*tries and it sup*ports approx*i*mately 900 active stan*dards in var*ious fields of engi*neering and electronics.
As it states on its Smart Grid web*site, the IEEE has staked its claim, in clear lan*guage, on the global energy initiative:



“There’s no global orga*ni*za*tion to oversee all nations’ energy sys*tems trans*for*ma*tions’ it is a vast move*ment and it’s in its infancy. With our 38 soci*eties and seven coun*cils IEEE is posi*tioned to lead the smart grid ini*tia*tive. Through them and our 395,000 mem*bers, who work in the world’s aca*d*emic, gov*ern*ment and pri*vate sec*tors, IEEE touches vir*tu*ally every aspect of the smart grid.
“We leverage our strong foun*da*tion and inclu*sive col*lab*o*ra*tion to evolve stan*dards, share best prac*tices, pub*lish devel*op*ments and pro*vide related edu*ca*tional offer*ings to fur*ther the smart grid. We are at the fore*front of advancing tech*nology and facil*i*tating suc*cessful deploy*ments throughout the world. Working hand in hand with other leading orga*ni*za*tions to create one set of stan*dards for the smart grid is the way we can ensure suc*cess.”



IEEE’s bravado is not unwar*ranted: It truly is the only global orga*ni*za*tion capable of such a mon*u*mental task. When given the chal*lenge to unify the global energy net*work, 395,000 engi*neers should be enough to com*plete the mission!



The IEEE Stu*dent Branch at Northern Illi*nois Uni*ver*sity notes in their About Page, “IEEE has man*aged to bring tech*nocrats from all over the world on a single plat*form.” Indeed.
Con*clu*sion

Tech*noc*racy is a col*lec*tivist, utopian political-economic system run by engi*neers, sci*en*tists and tech*ni*cians. It has the poten*tial to be far more oppres*sive and con*trol*ling than Com*mu*nism, Socialism or Fas*cism. Without Smart Grid, we are assured that there will be no rule of Technocracy.



Much more needs to be said, but this report seeks to high*light the following:

  1. Tech*noc*racy, Inc. was the birth place of the energy-based economic-political model seen behind national, regional, con*ti*nental and global Smart Grid initiatives
  2. R. Buck*min*ster Fuller, a Tech*no*crat at heart, pio*neered the design for a Global energy net*work that is now referred to as “the new World Wide Web of Electricity”
  3. All of Tech*noc*racy, Inc.’s orig*inal require*ments for an energy-based system are process of being met
  4. Global orga*ni*za*tions like the World Eco*nomic Forum and the IEEE Stan*dards Orga*ni*za*tion are fully backing and enabling the global Smart Grid
  5. The global Smart Grid and global warming move*ments are interdependent

It is not clear who will oversee any or all facets of the global Smart Grid. The implied sug*ges*tion is that it will be the same engi*neers and global cor*po*ra*tions that are cur*rently devel*oping it. There is no sug*ges*tion any*where in lit*er*a*ture that there is a plan for a hand-off of the resulting system to a polit*ical struc*ture that serves the people.



The neg*a*tive aspects of Smart Grid are seldom men*tioned. Take cyber-security, for instance. Pic*ture a tech-savvy crim*inal who breaks into your energy pro*file data by hacking the com*puters at your local sub*sta*tion: Based on your power usage, he knows when you are home and when you are not home, when you are awake and when you are asleep, whether you have a secu*rity system turned on or off, etc. Armed with such infor*ma*tion, your pos*ses*sions and per*sonal safety would be at his disposal.



With the global groundswell of activity to create the global Smart Grid, it is doubtful that the ini*tia*tive can be stopped, espe*cially since it is so closely inter*twined with the global warming move*ment and hence, Sus*tain*able Devel*op*ment and even the United Nation’s Agenda 21 program.
In the United States, Smart Grid is esca*lating without any leg*isla*tive over*sight or involve*ment; in other words, it is being imple*mented exclu*sively by Exec*u*tive Branch fiat. The same is true in other countries.



The orig*inal Tech*noc*racy, Inc. was suc*cessful for a season due in part to the bone-crushing pres*sure of the Great Depres*sion. The Great Depres*sion II cur*rently underway will almost cer*tainly sponsor renewed cat-calls that “Cap*i*talism is dead” and pleas for a new system to replace it. The only system waiting in the wings, so to speak, is Tech*noc*racy, and its enabling infra*struc*ture is the new World Wide Web of Energy.
