Las Naciones Unidas y los orígenes de «el Gran Reinicio» | Instituto Mises

11/18/2020

 

Hace unos 2400 años, al filósofo griego Platón se le ocurrió la idea de construir el Estado y la sociedad según un plan elaborado. Platón quería «sabios» (filósofos) al mando del gobierno, pero también dejó claro que su tipo de estado necesitaría una transformación de los humanos. En los tiempos modernos, los promotores del estado omnipotente quieren sustituir al filósofo de Platón por el experto y crear el nuevo hombre a través de la eugenesia, lo que ahora se llama transhumanismo. Las Naciones Unidas y sus diversas sub organizaciones desempeñan un papel fundamental en este proyecto que ha alcanzado su etapa actual en el proyecto de la Agenda 2030 y el Gran Reinicio.

La lucha por un gobierno mundial

El Gran Reinicio no vino de la nada. Los primeros intentos modernos de crear una institución global con una función gubernamental fueron lanzados por el gobierno de Woodrow Wilson que actuó como presidente de EEUU de 1913 a 1921. Bajo la inspiración del Coronel Mandell House, el principal asesor del presidente y su mejor amigo, Wilson quiso establecer un foro mundial para el período posterior a la Primera Guerra Mundial. Sin embargo, el plan de la participación estadounidense en la Liga de las Naciones fracasó y el impulso hacia el internacionalismo y el establecimiento de un nuevo orden mundial retrocedió durante los locos años veinte.

Sin embargo, durante la Gran Depresión se dio un nuevo paso hacia la gestión de una sociedad como una organización. Franklin Delano Roosevelt no dejó pasar la crisis sin impulsar la agenda con su «New Deal». FDR estaba especialmente interesado en los privilegios ejecutivos especiales que vinieron con la Segunda Guerra Mundial. La resistencia fue casi nula cuando avanzó para sentar las bases de una nueva Liga de Naciones, que ahora se llamaría Naciones Unidas.

Bajo el liderazgo de Stalin, Churchill y Roosevelt, veintiséis naciones acordaron en enero de 1942 la iniciativa de establecer una Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU), que entró en vigor el 24 de octubre de 1945. Desde su creación, las Naciones Unidas y sus dependencias, como el Grupo del Banco Mundial y la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), han preparado a los países del mundo para cumplir con los objetivos que se anunciaron en su fundación.

Sin embargo, los pronunciamientos untuosos de promover «la paz y la seguridad internacionales», «el desarrollo de relaciones amistosas entre las naciones» y de trabajar por «el progreso social, mejores niveles de vida y derechos humanos» ocultan el programa de establecimiento de un gobierno mundial con poderes ejecutivos cuya tarea no sería promover la libertad y el libre mercado sino un mayor intervencionismo y control a través de organizaciones culturales y científicas. Esto quedó claro con la creación de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Educación, la Ciencia y la Cultura (UNESCO) en 1945.

Eugenesia

Después de la fundación de la UNESCO en 1945, el biólogo evolutivo inglés, eugenista y declarado globalista Julian Huxley (hermano de Aldous Huxley, autor de Brave New World) se convirtió en su primer director.

En el lanzamiento de la organización, Huxley hizo un llamamiento a un «humanismo mundial científico, de alcance global» (pág. 8) y pidió que se manipulara la evolución humana con un fin «deseable». Refiriéndose al materialismo dialéctico como «el primer intento radical de una filosofía evolutiva» (pág. 11), el director de la UNESCO lamenta que el enfoque marxista para cambiar la sociedad estuviera destinado a fracasar debido a su falta de un «componente biológico» indispensable.

Con estas ideas, Julian Huxley estaba en una compañía respetable. Desde finales del siglo XIX, el llamado a la mejora genética de la raza humana a través de la eugenesia ha ganado muchos seguidores prominentes. John Maynard Keynes, por ejemplo, sostuvo que la promoción de la eugenesia y el control de la población era una de las cuestiones sociales más importantes y un área crucial de investigación.

Keynes no estaba solo. La lista de defensores de la crianza de la raza humana para su propia mejora es bastante grande e impresionante. Entre estos «reformistas antiliberales» se encuentran, entre muchos otros nombres conocidos, los escritores H.G. Wells y G.B. Shaw, el presidente de los Estados Unidos Theodore Roosevelt y el primer ministro británico Winston Churchill, así como el economista Irving Fisher y los pioneros de la planificación familiar Margaret Sanger y Bill Gates Sr., el padre de Bill Gates, cofundador de Microsoft y jefe de la Fundación Bill y Melinda Gates.

En su discurso en la fundación de la UNESCO, Julian Huxley fue muy específico sobre los objetivos y métodos de esta institución. Para lograr el deseado «progreso evolutivo» de la humanidad, el primer paso debe ser subrayar «la necesidad última de la unidad política mundial y familiarizar a todos los pueblos con las implicaciones de la transferencia de la plena soberanía de naciones separadas a una organización mundial».

Además, la institución debe considerar el equilibrio entre «la importancia de la calidad frente a la cantidad» (pág. 14), lo que significa que debe tener en cuenta que existe «una gama óptima de tamaño para cada organización humana como para cada tipo de organismo» (pág. 15). La organización educativa, científica y cultural de las Naciones Unidas debe prestar especial atención a «la unidad en la variedad del arte y la cultura del mundo, así como a la promoción de un único acervo de conocimientos científicos» (p. 17).

Huxley deja claro que la diversidad humana no es para todos. La variedad para «débiles, tontos y deficientes morales... no puede sino ser mala», y debido a que un «porcentaje considerable de la población no es capaz de beneficiarse de la educación superior» y también un «porcentaje considerable de hombres jóvenes» sufren de «debilidad física o inestabilidad mental» y «estos motivos son a menudo de origen genético» (pág. 20), estos grupos deben ser excluidos de los esfuerzos de avance del progreso humano.

En su discurso, Huxley diagnosticó que, en el momento de escribir este artículo, el «efecto indirecto de la civilización» es más bien «disgénico en lugar de eugenésico» y que «en cualquier caso, parece probable que el peso muerto de la estupidez genética, la debilidad física, la inestabilidad mental y la propensión a las enfermedades, que ya existen en la especie humana, resulten ser una carga demasiado grande para que se logre un progreso real» (pág. 21). Después de todo, «es esencial que la eugenesia se sitúe totalmente dentro de los límites de la ciencia, ya que, como ya se ha indicado, en un futuro no muy lejano es probable que el problema de la mejora de la calidad media de los seres humanos se convierta en urgente; y esto sólo puede lograrse aplicando los resultados de una eugenesia verdaderamente científica» (págs. 37 y 38).

Uso de la amenaza climática

El siguiente paso decisivo hacia la transformación económica mundial se dio con el primer informe del Club de Roma. En 1968, el Club de Roma se inició en la finca Rockefeller Bellagio en Italia. Su primer informe se publicó en 1972 con el título «Los Límites del Crecimiento».

El presidente emérito del Club de Roma, Alexander King, y el secretario del club, el general Bertrand Schneider, informan en su Informe del Consejo del Club de Roma que cuando los miembros del club buscaban identificar un nuevo enemigo, enumeraron la contaminación, el calentamiento global, la escasez de agua y las hambrunas como los elementos más oportunos para culpar a la humanidad, con la implicación de que la propia humanidad debe reducirse para mantener estas amenazas bajo control.

Desde el decenio de 1990, las Naciones Unidas han emprendido varias iniciativas amplias hacia un sistema mundial de control con el Programa 2021 y el Programa 2030. La Agenda 2030 fue adoptada por todos los estados miembros de las Naciones Unidas en 2015. Lanzaron su plan para el cambio global con el llamado a alcanzar diecisiete objetivos de desarrollo sostenible (SDG). El concepto clave es el «desarrollo sostenible» que incluye el control de la población https://populationmatters.org/news/2019/09/12/world-and-un-must-reduce-population-growth como un instrumento crucial.

Salvar la tierra se ha convertido en el eslogan de los guerreros de la política verde. Desde la década de 1970, el escenario de horror del calentamiento global ha sido una herramienta útil en sus manos para ganar influencia política y finalmente gobernar el discurso público. Mientras tanto, estos grupos anticapitalistas han obtenido una influencia dominante en los medios de comunicación, los sistemas educativos y judiciales, y se han convertido en actores importantes en el ámbito político.

En muchos países, en particular en Europa, los llamados partidos verdes https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/07/green-parties-france-ireland-austria.html se han convertido en un factor fundamental del sistema político. Muchos de los representantes son bastante abiertos en sus demandas para hacer que la sociedad y la economía sean compatibles con altos estándares ecológicos que requieren un profundo reinicio https://www.weforum.org/great-reset/ del sistema actual.

En 1945, Huxley (pág. 21) https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000068197 observó que era demasiado pronto para proponer de forma directa un programa de despoblación eugenésica, pero advirtió que sería importante que la organización «se ocupara de que el problema eugenésico se examinara con el mayor cuidado y de que la mente del público estuviera informada de las cuestiones en juego, de modo que lo que ahora es impensable pudiera al menos llegar a ser pensable».

La precaución de Huxley ya no es necesaria. Mientras tanto, las ramas de las Naciones Unidas han ganado tal nivel de poder que incluso suborganizaciones menores de la ONU como la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) han sido habilitadas para ordenar a los gobiernos individuales de todo el mundo que obedezcan sus órdenes. La OMS y el Fondo Monetario Internacional (FMI) —cuya condicionalidad https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/07/green-parties-france-ireland-austria.html para los préstamos ha cambiado desde la restricción fiscal hasta el grado en que un país sigue las reglas establecidas por la OMS— se han convertido en el tándem supremo para trabajar en el establecimiento del nuevo orden mundial.

Como señaló Julian Huxley en su discurso de 1945 https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000068197 , la tarea de las Naciones Unidas es eliminar la libertad económica, porque «el laisser faire y los sistemas económicos capitalistas» han «creado una gran cantidad de fealdad» (pág. 38). Ha llegado el momento de trabajar para el surgimiento «de una cultura mundial única» (p. 61). Esto debe hacerse con la ayuda explícita de los medios de comunicación y los sistemas educativos.

Conclusión

Con la fundación de las Naciones Unidas y sus sub organizaciones, el impulso para avanzar en los programas de eugenesia y transhumanismo dio un gran paso adelante. Junto con las actividades del Club de Roma, tienen el escenario para iniciar el gran restablecimiento que se está llevando a cabo actualmente.

 

  • Con el pronunciamiento de una pandemia, el objetivo de un control gubernamental integral de la economía y la sociedad ha dado otro salto hacia la transformación de la economía y la sociedad.

 

  • La libertad se enfrenta a un nuevo enemigo. La tiranía se disfraza de un gobierno experto y una dictadura benévola. Los nuevos gobernantes no justifican su derecho a la dominación por la providencia divina, sino que ahora reclaman el derecho a gobernar al pueblo en nombre de la salud y la seguridad universales basándose en presuntas pruebas científicas.

The United Nations and the Origins of "The Great Reset"

The United Nations and the Origins of "The Great Reset" | Mises Wire

11/18/2020

About twenty-four hundred years ago, the Greek philosopher Plato came up with the idea constructing the state and society according to an elaborate plan. Plato wanted “wise men” (philosophers) at the helm of the government, but he made it also clear that his kind of state would need a transformation of the humans. In modern times, the promoters of the omnipotent state want to substitute Plato’s philosopher with the expert and create the new man through eugenics, which is now called transhumanism. The United Nations and its various suborganizations play a pivotal role in this project which has reached its present stage in the project of the Agenda 2030 and the Great Reset.

The Struggle for a World Government

The Great Reset did not come from nowhere. The first modern attempts to create a global institution with a governmental function was launched by the government of Woodrow Wilson who acted as US president from 1913 to 1921. Under the inspiration of Colonel Mandell House, the president’s prime advisor and best friend, Wilson wanted to establish a world forum for the period after World War I. Yet the plan of American participation in the League of Nations failed and the drive toward internationalism and establishing a new world order receded during the Roaring Twenties.

A new move toward managing a society like an organization, however, came during the Great DepressionFranklin Delano Roosevelt did not let the crisis go by without driving the agenda forward with his “New Deal.” FDR was especially interested in the special executive privileges that came with the Second World War. Resistance was almost nil when he moved forward to lay the groundwork for a new League of Nations, which was now to be named the United Nations.

Under the leadership of Stalin, Churchill, and Roosevelt, twenty-six nations agreed in January 1942 to the initiative of establishing a United Nations Organization (UNO), which came into existence on October 24, 1945. Since its inception, the United Nations and its branches, such as the World Bank Group and the World Health Organization (WHO), have prepared the countries of the world to comply with the goals that were announced at its foundation.

Yet the unctuous pronouncements of promoting “international peace and security,” “developing friendly relations among nations,” and working for “social progress, better living standards, and human rights” hides the agenda of establishing a world government with executive powers whose task would not be promoting liberty and free markets but greater interventionism and control through cultural and scientific organizations. This became clear with the creation of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 1945.  

Eugenics

After the foundation of UNESCO in 1945, the English evolutionary biologist, eugenicist, and declared globalist Julian Huxley (the brother of Aldous Huxley, author of Brave New World) became its first director.

At the launch of the organization,  Huxley called for a “scientific world humanism, global in extent” (p. 8) and asked to manipulate human evolution to a “desirable” end. Referring to dialectical materialism as “the first radical attempt at an evolutionary philosophy” (p. 11), the director of UNESCO laments that the Marxist approach to changing society was bound to fail because of its lack of an indispensable “biological component.”

With these ideas, Julian Huxley was in respectable company. Since the late nineteenth century, the call for the genetic betterment of the human race through eugenics has been gaining many prominent followers. John Maynard Keynes, for example, held the promotion of eugenics and population control as one the most important social questions and a crucial area of research.

Keynes was not alone. The list of advocates of breeding the human race for its own betterment is quite large and impressive. These “illiberal reformers” include, among many other well-known names, the writers H.G. Wells and G.B. Shaw, US president Theodore Roosevelt, and British prime minister Winston Churchill as well as the economist Irving Fisher and the family-planning pioneers Margaret Sanger and Bill Gates Sr., the father of Bill Gates, Microsoft cofounder and head of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

In his discourse at the foundation of the UNESCO, Julian Huxley was quite specific about the goals and methods of this institution. To achieve the desired “evolutionary progress” of mankind, the first step must be to stress “the ultimate need for world political unity and familiarize all peoples with the implications of the transfer of full sovereignty from separate nations to a world organization.”

Furthermore, the institution must consider the tradeoff between the “importance of quality as against quantity” (p. 14), which means it must take into account that there is, “an optimum range of size for every human organization as for every type of organism” (p. 15). The educational, scientific, and cultural organization of the UN should give special attention to “unity-in-variety of the world’s art and culture as well as the promotion of one single pool of scientific knowledge” (p 17).

Huxley makes it clear that human diversity is not for all. Variety for “weaklings, fools, and moral deficients…cannot but be bad,” and because a “considerable percentage of the population is not capable of profiting from higher education” and also a “considerable percentage of young men” suffer from “physical weakness or mental instability” and “these grounds are often genetic in origin” (p. 20), these groups must be excluded from the efforts of advancing human progress.

In his discourse, Huxley diagnosed that at the time of his writing the “indirect effect of civilization” is rather “dysgenic instead of eugenic” and that “in any case, it seems likely that the deadweight of genetic stupidity, physical weakness, mental instability, and disease-proneness, which already exist in the human species, will prove too great a burden for real progress to be achieved” (p. 21). After all, it is “essential that eugenics should be brought entirely within the borders of science, for as already indicated, in the not very remote future the problem of improving the average quality of human beings is likely to become urgent; and this can only be accomplished by applying the findings of a truly scientific eugenics” (pp. 37–38).

Use of the Climate Threat

The next decisive step toward the global economic transformation was taken with the first report of the Club of Rome. In 1968, the Club of Rome was initiated at the Rockefeller estate Bellagio in Italy. Its first report was published in 1972 under the title “The Limits to Growth.” 

The president emeritus of the Club of Rome, Alexander King, and the secretary of the club, General Bertrand Schneider, inform in their Report of the Council of the Club of Rome that when the members of the club were in search of identifying a new enemy, they listed pollution, global warming, water shortages, and famines as the most opportune items to be blamed on humanity with the implication that humanity itself must be reduced to keep these threats in check.

Since the 1990s, several comprehensive initiatives toward a global system of control have been undertaken by the United Nations with Agenda 2021 and Agenda 2030. The 2030 Agenda was adopted by all United Nations member states in 2015. It launched its blueprint for global change with the call to achieve seventeen sustainable development goals (SDGs). The key concept is “sustainable development” that includes population control as a crucial instrument.

Saving the earth has become the slogan of green policy warriors. Since the 1970s, the horror scenario of global warming has been a useful tool in their hands to gain political influence and finally rule over public discourse. In the meanwhile, these anticapitalist groups have obtained a dominant influence in the media, the educational and judicial systems, and have become major players in the political arena.

In many countries, particularly in Europe, the so-called green parties have become a pivotal factor in the political system. Many of the representatives are quite open in their demands to make society and the economy compatible with high ecological standards that require a profound reset of the present system. 

In 1945, Huxley (p. 21) noted that it is too early to propose outright a eugenic depopulation program but advised that it will be important for the organization “to see that the eugenic problem is examined with the greatest care, and that the public mind is informed of the issues at stake so that much that now is unthinkable may at least become thinkable.”

Huxley’s caution is no longer necessary. In the meantime, the branches of the United Nations have gained such a level of power that even originally minor UN suborganizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) have been enabled to command individual governments around the world to obey their orders. The WHO and the International Monetary Fund (IMF)—whose conditionality for loans has changed from fiscal restraint to the degree to which a country follows the rules set by the WHO—have become the supreme tandem to work toward establishing the new world order.

As Julian Huxley pointed out in his discourse in 1945, it is the task of the United Nations to do away with economic freedom, because “laisser-faire and capitalist economic systems” have “created a great deal of ugliness” (p. 38). The time has come to work toward the emergence “of a single world culture” (p. 61). This must be done with the explicit help of the mass media and the educational systems.

Conclusion

With the foundation of the United Nations and its suborganizations, the drive to advance the programs of eugenics and transhumanism took a big step forward. Together with the activities of the Club of Rome, they have stage to initiate the great reset that is going on currently.

 

  • With the pronouncement of a pandemic, the goal of comprehensive government control of the economy and society has taken another leap toward transforming the economy and society.

 

  • Freedom faces a new enemy. The tyranny comes under the disguise of expert rule and benevolent dictatorship. The new rulers do not justify their right to dominance because of divine providence but now claim the right to rule the people in the name of universal health and safety based on presumed scientific evidence.

Saving the earth has become the slogan of green policy warriors. Since the
1970s, the horror scenario of global warming has been a useful tool in their
hands to gain political influence and finally rule over public discourse. In
the meanwhile, these anticapitalist groups have obtained a dominant
influence in the media, the educational and judicial systems, and have
become major players in the political arena.

In many countries, particularly in Europe, the so-called
<https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/07/green-parties-france-ireland-au
stria.html> green parties have become a pivotal factor in the political
system. Many of the representatives are quite open in their demands to make
society and the economy compatible with high ecological standards that
require a profound  <https://www.weforum.org/great-reset/> reset of the
present system. 

In 1945,  <https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000068197> Huxley (p.
21) noted that it is too early to propose outright a eugenic depopulation
program but advised that it will be important for the organization "to see
that the eugenic problem is examined with the greatest care, and that the
public mind is informed of the issues at stake so that much that now is
unthinkable may at least become thinkable."

Huxley's caution is no longer necessary. In the meantime, the branches of
the United Nations have gained such a level of power that even originally
minor UN suborganizations such as the World Health Organization (
<https://www.who.int/> WHO) have been enabled to command individual
governments around the world to obey their orders. The WHO and the
International Monetary Fund ( <https://www.imf.org/external/index.htm>
IMF)-whose  <https://www.imf.org/en/Topics/imf-and-covid19> conditionality
for loans has changed from fiscal restraint to the degree to which a country
follows the rules set by the WHO-have become the supreme tandem to work
toward establishing the new world order.

As Julian Huxley pointed out in his
<https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000068197> discourse in 1945, it
is the task of the United Nations to do away with economic freedom, because
"laisser-faire and capitalist economic systems" have "created a great deal
of ugliness" (p. 38). The time has come to work toward the emergence "of a
single world culture" (p. 61). This must be done with the explicit help of
the mass media and the educational systems.

Conclusion

With the foundation of the United Nations and its suborganizations, the
drive to advance the programs of eugenics and transhumanism took a big step
forward. Together with the activities of the Club of Rome, they have stage
to initiate the great reset that is going on currently. 

 

*	With the pronouncement of a pandemic, the goal of comprehensive
government control of the economy and society has taken another leap toward
transforming the economy and society. 

 

*	Freedom faces a new enemy. The tyranny comes under the disguise of
expert rule and benevolent dictatorship. The new rulers do not justify their
right to dominance because of divine providence but now claim the right to
rule the people in the name of universal health and safety based on presumed
scientific evidence.
