Greetings to the Living. Thank you for listening to Up Is Down and Double-Plus-Good™ thank you to all who support this work. I return with another doozy of a topic, rather wordy and maybe a little too long. I hope you enjoy it.

There was a time when domination was limited to land, trade, and bodies. That era, crude as it now seems, operated on visible chains and obvious empires. But in the wake of industrialization, as machines accelerated the conquest of matter, the final frontier of control came into view: the human mind.The 20th century did not invent manipulation. It refined it.

The wars were not just over territory, but perception. With the rise of American intelligence agencies following World War II, especially the CIA's charter in 1947, psychological warfare went mainstream. In the 1950s and 60s, the public glimpsed the tip of a vast iceberg: Project MK-Ultra, a CIA initiative devoted to mapping, shattering, and reprogramming human consciousness.

Figures like Dr. Sidney Gottlieb and George Estabrooks worked in concert with institutions such as Stanford Research Institute and Tavistock, weaponizing hypnosis, trauma, LSD, and sensory manipulation.Simultaneously, Andrija Puharich, operating under the guise of medical research, pursued the military utility of ESP, telepathy, and what we now call remote viewing. He wasn’t alone. Project Stargate (1978-1995), supported by the Defense Intelligence Agency, sought to train operatives to access nonlocal perception.

What they found—or were permitted to find—remains partially classified. But whispers persist of contact. Not the Hollywood kind. Contact with entities that existed not "out there," but just beyond the veil of waking reality.There are numerous historical records suggesting, and many others outlining the disturbing possibility that humanity has long been managed by these entities. Not with ships and lasers, but by engineering the very shape of our beliefs, myths, and social systems.

The so-called gods of antiquity may never have left. Their methods simply evolved. The arrangement appears to be simple: allow the surface-dwelling elite to maintain dominion over their fellow humans in exchange for continued loyalty and suppression of human consciousness expansion. And so we arrive here, in a synthetic awakening. 

A new mythology is being encoded—not carved in stone or whispered in temples, but streamed, monetized, and reinforced by predictive algorithms. Its core narrative is not transcendence but convenience. Not freedom, but ease. Every gesture toward liberation is tracked, tallied, and redirected. The aim is total containment, not just of movement, but of thought.

Covid-19 was not merely a fake pandemic. It was a psychological operation of planetary scale. A controlled demolition of baseline consensus, ushering in a techno-social order built on inversion: isolation as virtue, obedience as wisdom, digital avatars as identity. It cleared the stage for the Synthetic Revolution, a transition from industrial capitalism to cybernetic feudalism.

This revolution has no trenches, only Terms of Service. And yet, its mechanisms are clear. The new money system, currently rolling out under banners like Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and programmable "credits," promises ease and order. But its true function is to finalize the long-standing effort to tether human behavior to a real-time system of compliance and reward. The dollar, once backed by gold, became belief. The new credits will be backed by obedience and insured by death.

Two contradictory promises anchor this new era: first, that America will return to its postwar manufacturing glory; second, that automation and AI will eliminate the need for labor entirely. What, then, becomes of the masses? The answer writes itself, in patterns older than history: ritual culling. War, sterilization, engineered disease, social collapse—all under the banners of ecology, equity, and progress. And yet, the truly comic twist comes from above.

The technocratic elite—those who midwife this transition—suffer their own delusion. Men like Elon Musk, convinced they'll colonize Mars and escape the system they're tightening on Earth. They believe their proximity to power grants them exemption from its consequences. They don't realize they're not the architects of the singularity. They're its host organisms. Their fantasies of interplanetary escape are as laughable as a banker in Pompeii trying to bribe Vesuvius.

And then there is Donald Trump, whose declarations of a coming "Golden Age" echo the synthetic narrative with almost religious fervor. This age will be one of new energy, new money, new morality. But it is not organic. It is manufactured myth, engineered in service of containment. Ascension, as it is being sold, is not liberation. It is reassignment. Perhaps to another realm, yes—but one even more surveilled, more hostile, more inescapable.

Our great elite leaders and shephards of this reality have been sold the same delusion—marketed in higher fidelity, sure, with more zeros and fancier language—but they too are shackled. They believe their obedience earns them exemption. But the gods of this new dominion do not negotiate.
Which brings us to the final irony:  

A utopia that begins with vanishing bodies and ends with vanishing agency. The ultimate bait-and-switch. For the system to reboot, the memory of autonomy must be erased. The reboot isn’t for you. It’s for the operating system itself.

You will own nothing.
You will be digitized.
You will thank them.

You will disappear.

That is the revolution.
That is the ritual.
