Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) was a well-known British mathematician, intellectual, and eugenicist. This political philosophy and articulations made him a favorite of the ruling liberal elite that have come to amass substantial power over the world – especially Western Civilization.

By reading the following two passages under the lens of current events, one may nurture a deeper understanding of the forces actively being applied onto us – while also factoring the many decades that such thoughts have been postulated and the scientific advances since.

Passage 1) Pages 27-28 – The Societal Impact of Scientific Mass Psychology (think transgenderism, youth COVID inoculation, and public education while reading the following passage):

“This subject (mass psychology) will make great strides when it is taken up by scientists under a scientific dictatorship. Anaxagoras maintained that snow is black, but no one believed him. The social psychologists of the future will have a number of classes of school children (public education system) on whom they will try different methods of producing an unshakable conviction that snow is black (transgenderism, innate White racism). Various results will soon be arrived at. First, that the influence of home is obstructive (the State knows best). Second, that not much can be done unless indoctrination begins before the age of ten (youth inoculation and public-school brainwashing). Third, that verses set to music and repeatedly intoned are very effective (degraded entertainment, culture, and art). Fourth, that the opinion that snow is white must be held to show a morbid taste for eccentricity (basic biological facts are to be considered abnormal). But I anticipate. It is for future scientists to make these maxims precise and discover exactly how much it costs per head to make children believe that snow is black, and how much less it would cost to make them believe it is dark grey.

Although this science will be diligently studied, it will be rigidly confined to the governing class. The populace will not be allowed to know how its convictions were generated. When the technique has been perfected, every government that has been in charge of education for a generation will be able to control its subjects securely without the need of armies or policemen. As yet there is only one country which has succeeded in creating this politician’s paradise.”

Note - It is open for individual interpretation as to which country Bertrand Russell was referring to when writing this last sentence.

Passage 2) Pages 41-42 – The Formation of Progressive Leftist “Scientific” Oligarchies (think U.S. COVID response and “vaccine,” Internet and media censorship, vote fraud, and political persecution while reading the following passage):

“In the first place, since the new oligarchs are the adherents of a certain creed (Russell is referring to liberal socialism), and base their claim to exclusive powers upon the rightness of their creed, their system depends essentially upon dogma: whoever questions the governmental dogma questions the moral authority of the government, and is therefore a rebel (those who question “Dr.” Fauci and the COVID-19 “science”). While the oligarchy is still new, there are sure to be other creeds, held with equal conviction, which would seize the government if they could. Such rival creeds must be suppressed by force, since the principle of majority rule has been abandoned (think 2020 “election”). It follows that there cannot be freedom of the Press, freedom of discussion, or freedom of book publication (this sentence speaks for itself). There must be an organ of government whose duty it is to pronounce as to what is orthodox, and to punish heresy (social media and fact checkers). The history of the Inquisition shows what such an organ of government must inevitably become. In the normal pursuit of power, it will seek out more and more subtle heresies. The Church, as soon as it acquired political power, developed incredible refinements of dogma, and persecuted what to us appear microscopic deviations from the official creed. Exactly the same sort of thing happens in the modern States that confine political power to supporters of a certain doctrine.

The completeness of the resulting control over opinions depends in various ways upon scientific technique. Where all children go to school, and all schools are controlled by the government, the authorities can close the minds of the young to everything contrary to official orthodoxy. Printing is impossible without paper, and all paper belongs to the State. Broadcasting and the cinema are equally public monopolies. The only remaining possibility of unauthorized propaganda (facts, information, and critical analysis) is by secret whispers from one individual to another. But this, in turn, is rendered appallingly dangerous by improvements in the art of spying. Children at school are taught that it is their duty to denounce their parents if they allow themselves subversive utterance in the bosom of the family. No one can be sure that a man who seems to be his dearest friend will not denounce him to the police; the man may himself have been in some trouble, and may know that if he is not efficient as a spy his wife and children will suffer (think petty snitch culture, social media, and the workplace). All this is not imaginary, it is daily and hourly reality. Nor, given oligarchy, is there the slightest reason to expect anything else.”

After reading the two passages above when applying today’s political and societal climate, one can clearly visualize the energies and resources being applied upon us by the current liberal overlord class.
