The role Ahriman has played within the technocratic movement is obvious to many people, with the rise of AI signaling his coming approach. However, we cannot properly understand this war without seeing how Ahriman has worked through previous movements to accomplish different aims.
The American Neoconservative movement was once very prominent, reaching its apex in the 1990s and 2000s, with its pundits advocating for American world leadership and foreign wars, utilizing state propaganda and censorship of opposition to achieve their goals.
PNAC: Project for the New American Century was a neoconservative think tank based in Washington D.C., that was highly influential in US foreign policy and a key proponent of the Iraq war.
Since then, there has been a significant shift away from interventionist foreign policy in the conservative movement, and more towards populism.
Alongside the rise in populism in the West, there was also a parallel rise in the integration of the Internet and social media into many areas of life, and the introduction of less overt means of control, such as algorithms.
The fact that the abuses by the elite class could be openly revealed and discussed signaled that a shift in power had already taken place in favor of the technocrats; it no longer mattered what anyone knew, as it would not threaten the emerging political order.
The technocracy movement, unlike Neoconservatism, is a trans-national movement that can integrate itself into different political environments and parties, such as the populist current in the West.
