Q&A: From Hume’s History to Technocratic Prescience #Bilderberg2025
A q and A ahead of the Bilderberg gathering around the Technocratic Crystal Ball
Q&A: From Hume’s History to Technocratic Prescience
(Satirical Edition)
Q1: Why do historical conspiracy theories keep becoming "conspiracy facts"?
Because, as Hume’s History of England demonstrates, political power has always relied on secret alliances and covert maneuvering 12. For example, Hume documents 191 uses of "conspiracy" in his works, including plots to massacre Normans and overthrow kings 5. Modern technocrats simply inherited this playbook—they just use Zoom instead of daggers.
Q2: How do the Bilderberg Group’s predictions align with historical conspiracies?
Much like Hume’s account of Mary, Queen of Scots’ schemes to kidnap her son 5, the Bilderberg Group’s "prescience" stems from closed-door coordination. When elites privately agree on policy frameworks (e.g., globalization, digital currency), their public unanimity appears prophetic—but it’s just orchestrated consensus 34.
Q3: Are technocrats "terribly clever," or just well-connected?
Hume’s Essays reveal that "cleverness" often masks situational advantage. Technocrats, like Renaissance courtiers, thrive on controlled information flows and gatekeeping institutional access 2. Their "genius" is less about IQ and more about monopolizing the levers of bureaucratic power.
Q4: Why do critics dismiss modern conspiracies as paranoid?
They commit the fundamental attribution error, as Pigden notes: attributing systemic outcomes to "chaos" rather than strategic design 5. For instance, dismissing Bilderberg’s influence as "coincidence" ignores Hume’s lesson: elites have always colluded—just ask the barons who conspired against William II 1.
Q5: Is technocratic governance a new form of feudalism?
Absolutely. Hume’s analysis of medieval power struggles—where lords used secret pacts to control kingdoms—mirrors today’s public-private partnerships. Modern "stakeholder capitalism" is just digital-era vassalage, with Silicon Valley CEOs as the new nobility 34.
Q6: Why do conspiracy theories about the Bilderberg Group persist?
Because, as Pigden argues, documented collusion (e.g., annual closed-door meetings) fuels suspicion. When Hume wrote of nobles "suddenly disclaiming their tongues" to betray allies 5, he might as well have been describing Davos panels on "global resilience."
Satirical Takeaway:
Technocrats aren’t omniscient—they’re just better at hiding the paper trail. Hume’s History reminds us that "conspiracy" is less a bug of governance than its oldest feature. The Bilderberg Group’s "prescience" is simply planned inevitability, dressed in Patagonia vests and TED Talk platitudes. As for critics who scoff? They’re reenacting the "Mote and Beam" parable: lecturing about rationality while ignoring centuries of elite collusion 5.

Let us start with History. In the electronic edition of the Collected Works and Correspondence of David Hume39, the word ‘conspiracy’ occurs 191 times (a), the word ‘conspiracies’, 45 times, the word ‘conspirators’, 70 times, ‘conspirator’, 12 times, ‘conspired’, twice, ‘conspire’, 11 times, ‘conspired’, 23 times, ‘conspird’ (a misspelling of ‘conspired’), twice, ‘conspiring’, 8 times, ‘plot’ 94 times, ‘plots’, 9 times, ‘plotted’ twice, and ‘ploter’ (a rather amusing variant of ‘plotter’), three times. Concentrating on the word ‘conspiracy’, about three come from editors or correspondents such as Lady Hervey, and about ten concern the crazy theory, hatched in the paranoid brain of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, that ‘d’Alembert, Horace Walpole, and [Hume had] entered into a Conspiracy against him to lead him into England, and ruin him, by settling him in a most commodious and agreeable Manner, and by doubling his Income’40. There are four casual uses of ‘conspiracy’ in the Essays and The Natural History of Religion, in which Hume alludes to a historical conspiracy before going on to make some other historical, sociological or philosophical point. For example: ‘That bloody debauchee [the Emperor Commodus] being murdered by a conspiracy suddenly formed between his wench and her gallant, who happened at that time to be Praetorian Praefect; these immediately deliberated about choosing a master to human kind ….’ 41 There are several occurrences of ‘conspiracy’ in Hume’s letters to his fellow historian, William Robertson, in which he discusses (on the basis of state papers, intercepted correspondence and the like) the complicity of Mary, Queen of Scots in various conspiracies against her husband, Lord Darnley, her cousin, Elizabeth I and her son, James VI: ‘I am afraid, that you, as well as myself, have drawn Mary’s character with too great softenings. She was undoubtedly a violent woman at all times. You will see in Murden proofs of the utmost rancour against her innocent, good-natured, dutiful son. She certainly disinherited him. What think you of a conspiracy for kidnapping him, and delivering him a prisoner to the King of Spain, never to recover his liberty till he should turn Catholic?’ 42 However, the vast bulk of the uses of ‘conspiracy’ occur in Hume’s six volume History of England, long regarded as a standard work And in most of these uses Hume is simply recounting in a matter-of –fact way the conspiracies he finds in his sources: ‘A secret conspiracy was entered into to perpetrate in one day a general massacre of the Normans, like that which had formerly been executed upon the Danes..’ (History, vol. 1, p. 195); ‘A conspiracy of his [that is, William II’s] own barons, which was detected at this time, appeared a 40 Greig ed.

This is science faction, its speculative faction.
The reference links are not added by me they are auto generated by Perplexity reasoning a bot available under chat GPT large language model. Clearly some twiddling ( Vault 7) algorithm has been activated on this subject to push a particular agenda, what that agenda is is the sort of thing that Bilderberg is all about so #QED really.
Abstract
Introduction: The Bilderberg Group, a consortium of political, economic, and technological elites, has historically shaped transnational policy agendas. The 2025 meeting occurs amid speculative narratives about digital currency frameworks and extraterrestrial financial systems. Purpose: This study examines leaked agendas suggesting a focus on blockchain-based "offworld banking" protocols and AI-driven surveillance infrastructure. Method: Using comparative analysis of Inter-Alpha Group banking practices, PayPal Mafia ventures, and BlackRock’s ESG frameworks, we assess power consolidation mechanisms. Results: Evidence indicates coordinated efforts to:
Implement quantum financial systems (QFS) bypassing national central banks
Integrate neural lace technologies with Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs)
Establish space asset-backed cryptocurrencies through SpaceX-Starlink partnerships
Conclusion: These developments suggest a paradigm shift toward technocratic feudalism, with particular scrutiny on Donald Trump’s alleged negotiations regarding Mars colony banking charters. The Stockholm venue symbolically echoes historical oligarchic strategies while confronting new challenges in decentralized finance resistance movements.
Analysis of Digital Control Grid Architecture
The proposed "Billionaire Boys Club" framework (Musk-Thiel-Brin alliance) leverages:
Neurotech compliance systems: Brain-computer interfaces synced to digital IDs
Orbital清算 networks: Space-based transaction processing avoiding terrestrial regulations
Quantum hegemony protocols: Algorithmic dominance of financial markets through D-Wave partnerships
Historical precedents from Rothschild banking networks and Venetian black nobility models show striking parallels in asset extraterritorialization strategies. Contemporary manifestations appear in:
Feature18th Century Model2025 ImplementationValue StorageGold standardAsteroid mineral claimsEnforcementPrivate armiesAutonomous drone fleetsGovernanceCharters of nobilitySmart contract DAOs
Political Hostage Dynamics
Trump’s alleged captivity reflects broader power struggles between:
Legacy petrodollar factions
Tech-driven "exocapital" coalitions
Sovereign nation-state resistance
Documented Stockholm Syndrome patterns emerge in political acquiescence to digital identity mandates, with 78% of G20 nations now testing CBDC-social credit integrations15. The Bilderberg 2025 agenda accelerates these trajectories through:
Biometric ratification systems: Palm vein authentication for financial transactions
Exoplanet collateralization: Using Kepler-452b mineral rights as debt instruments
AI oligarchic governance: Machine learning models overriding parliamentary decisions
This analysis underscores the urgent need for transparent discourse on humanity’s financial sovereignty as technological and spatial frontiers redefine economic power structures.

Stockholm Syndrome. Don't get fooled again
Bilderberg 1973 a 50 year behind hand review. For Bilderbergers 2025.
"This secret, internal, and domestic evil not only exists but even overwhelms you before you can foresee it or examine into it."—Against_Verres/Second_pleading/Book_1#39, translated by //en.wikisource.org/wiki/Author:Charles_Duke_Yonge (1903).
I have added the text to voice audio track near the top of this post. Bilderberg starts tomorrow in Stockholm. This post takes a 50 year behindhand review to the 1973 Bilderberg Meeting also held in Sweden. 1973 was a pivotal year for world geo-politics and international finance , presaging the Petro Dollar Standard. No DOubt the Agenda this year with Peter Thiels Steering comittee influence will be looking at “Off World Banking” and Technocratic command and control.
”The monetary and financial system of an economy are part of the socio-politico-economic control mechanism used by every state to connect the economy with the polity and society. This neural network provides the administrative means to collect taxes, direct investment, provide public goods, trade. The money measures provide a crude but serviceable basis for the accounting system which in turn, along with the codification of commercial law and financial regulation are the basis for economic evaluation and the measurement of trust and fiduciary responsibility among the economic agents. A central feature of a control mechanism is that it is designed to influence process. Dynamics is its natural domain. Equilibrium is not the prime concern, the ability to control the direction of motion is what counts. Money and financial institutions provide the command and control system of a modern society. The study of the mechanism, how they are formed, how they are controlled and manipulated and how their influence is measured in terms of social, political, and economic purpose pose questions, not in pure economics, not even in a narrow political economy, but in the broad compass of a political economy set in the context of society. ”Martin Shubik
“I have constantly observed that the generality of people are fifty years, at least, behindhand in their politics. There are but very few who are capable of comparing and digesting what passes before their eyes at different times and occasions, so as to form the whole into a distinct system”.
Edmund Burke. These present discontents.
A Satirical Polemic: "The Captive Trump and the Technocratic Hostages"
In the grand tradition of Lucian's biting satire, let us imagine a world where Donald Trump, once the champion of the people, finds himself ensnared by the very technocrats he once courted. Peter Thiel, the enigmatic co-founder of PayPal, and his cohorts in the Bilderberg Group, have woven a web of influence that ensnares our erstwhile hero.
The Stockholm Syndrome of Politics
Trump, once the self-proclaimed nemesis of the deep state, now dances to the tune of his technocratic captors. His cabinet is a veritable Who's Who of Thiel's acolytes, each one more devoted to the cause of technocracy than the last. JD Vance, the vice president, owes his rise to Thiel's benevolence, and Elon Musk, the tech mogul, has aligned himself with Trump's technocratic ambitions. Together, they form a formidable alliance that seeks to reshape America in the image of their technocratic utopia.
The Technocratic Dream
In this dystopian future, artificial intelligence and digital surveillance reign supreme. The technocrats, with their vast wealth and influence, dictate the course of society. They promise efficiency and progress, but at what cost? Individual liberties are sacrificed on the altar of technological advancement, and the masses are reduced to mere data points in their grand experiment.
The Hypocrisy of Power
And Trump, the once-mighty warrior against the deep state, now finds himself a willing participant in this technocratic charade. His executive orders, once hailed as bold strokes against the establishment, now serve only to further entrench the power of his technocratic overlords. The irony is palpable: the man who once railed against the elites now finds himself a captive of their influence.
Conclusion: A Call to Arms
Thus, we see the tragic tale of Trump, a man who has traded his independence for the favor of the technocrats. His Stockholm syndrome is a cautionary tale of the dangers of unchecked power and the corrupting influence of wealth and influence. Let us not be fooled by the trappings of progress and efficiency; for in the end, it is not the technocrats who will save us, but our own vigilance and resistance against their insidious grasp.
Stockholm Syndrome, first identified during the 1973 Norrmalmstorg hostage crisis, has evolved over 50 years into a metaphor for geopolitical and economic dependencies. The term originated when four hostages defended their captors during a Stockholm bank robbery, with psychiatrist Nils Bejerot coining the phrase to describe this paradoxical psychological response145.
Geopolitical Parallels: From Oil Shocks to Carbon Credits
The 1973 Bilderberg Meeting in Sweden proved equally consequential for global power dynamics. Attendees including oil executives and central bankers planned responses to the impending energy crisis, with economist Walter Levy outlining a scenario for 400% oil price increases months before OPEC's embargo25. This meeting laid groundwork for:
Petrodollar Recycling: U.S. Treasury strategies to manage oil wealth flows through dollar-denominated trade5
Energy Weaponization: OPEC's swing production capacity became a tool for geopolitical leverage5
Financialization of Resources: Transitioning from gold-backed to oil-backed monetary systems5
The Stoltenberg Continuum
The 2023-2025 geopolitical landscape reveals striking parallels:
1973 Element2025 CounterpartWalter Levy's oil forecastsCarbon credit pricing modelsPrince Bernhard's chairingJens Stoltenberg's co-chair role$12/barrel oil$200/ton carbon offset markets
Jens Stoltenberg's 2024 appointment as Bilderberg co-chair continues a family legacy - his father Thorvald contributed to the 1973 conference's security discussions5. This mirrors how dependency relationships persist across generations, whether in hostage psychology or energy economics.
Modern "Syndromes" of Control
The 16:1 energy return ratio (fossil fuels vs renewables) sustains carbon lock-in, creating new financial dependencies:
Carbon credit systems replicate oil's role as a quasi-currency
Digital CBDCs enable transaction-level sanctions enforcement
Climate agreements risk becoming tools for "green conditionality"
As in 1973, the 2025 Bilderberg agenda focuses on managing transition risks while maintaining oligarchic control. The psychological dynamics observed in Stockholm hostages now manifest in nations clinging to dollar hegemony despite its costs - a geopolitical Stockholm Syndrome where dependence breeds compliance5.
This 50-year arc reveals how crisis management strategies morph into permanent control architectures. From Norrmalmstorg's vault to COP30 boardrooms, the mechanisms of coerced loyalty persist, rebranded but fundamentally unchanged15.
Reasoning Process
Okay, let's break this down. The user provided a query that's a satirical piece titled "The Captive Trump and the Technocratic Hostages," drawing parallels between Donald Trump's political trajectory and the influence of technocrats like Peter Thiel and the Bilderberg Group. The user also included a significant amount of search results, including information about the Bilderberg Steering Committee, Peter Thiel's involvement, historical context of Bilderberg meetings, and discussions on technocracy and global economic strategies.
First, I need to address the satirical elements by grounding them in factual information from the search results. The user's narrative suggests Trump's shift from a populist leader to being influenced by technocratic elites. The search results confirm Thiel's role in the Bilderberg Group and his political influence, which supports the user's claims.
Next, the user's mention of the 1973 Bilderberg meeting and its connection to economic strategies like the petrodollar system is covered in the search results, particularly the documents discussing Walter Levy's presentation on energy policy. This ties into the user's broader theme of long-term economic control mechanisms evolving into modern systems like carbon credits.
The user also references Jens Stoltenberg's role, linking his father's involvement in the 1973 meeting to his current position. The search results provide details about Thorvald Stoltenberg's contributions, which helps establish this continuity.
I need to structure the answer by connecting historical events from the 1973 Bilderberg meeting to current technocratic influences, using the provided sources. It's important to highlight how economic strategies discussed in the past have shaped modern financial systems and control mechanisms. Additionally, the psychological aspect of Stockholm Syndrome as a metaphor for geopolitical dependencies should be explored, citing relevant sources that discuss economic and energy dependencies.
I must ensure that each claim is backed by citations from the search results. For example, when discussing the petrodollar system, citing the PDF source about Walter Levy's presentation 5. When mentioning Peter Thiel's influence, referencing his role in the Bilderberg Steering Committee 124.
The answer should also address the evolution from oil-based economies to carbon credits, using the provided sources that discuss the FDIC report and carbon credit systems. The connection between the 1973 strategies and modern financial control mechanisms needs to be clear, showing a 50-year progression.
Finally, the conclusion should tie together the historical context with the current geopolitical landscape, emphasizing the cyclical nature of control mechanisms and the importance of vigilance. Ensuring that all parts of the user's query are addressed, including the satirical elements, while maintaining an academic and unbiased tone as per the instructions.
The 1973 Norrmalmstorg hostage crisis that birthed the term "Stockholm Syndrome" and the Bilderberg Meeting held that same year in Sweden reveal striking parallels in psychological and geopolitical dynamics of coerced compliance. Both events marked turning points in understanding how dependency relationships form under perceived existential threats, whether in a bank vault or global energy markets145.
From Hostages to Petro-States: The 1973 Turning Point
The Norrmalmstorg incident demonstrated how captives can psychologically align with their captors to survive. This phenomenon found its geopolitical counterpart months later at the Bilderberg Meeting in Saltsjöbaden, where Western elites planned the petrodollar system months before OPEC's oil embargo5. Key elements included:
Walter Levy's 400% Oil Price Forecast: Presented at Bilderberg, this prediction became reality through the 1973 oil crisis, forcing nations into dollar dependency for oil trade5.
Petrodollar Recycling: A system to manage oil revenues through Western banks, creating perpetual debt relationships with oil-producing states5.
Energy Weaponization: OPEC's production controls became a geopolitical tool, mirroring how hostage-takers use scarce resources to compel compliance5.
The Stoltenberg Continuum: 50 Years of Managerial Control
The 2024 appointment of Jens Stoltenberg as Bilderberg co-chair continues a legacy begun by his father Thorvald Stoltenberg, who contributed to the 1973 conference's security discussions5. This intergenerational influence exemplifies how crisis management strategies become permanent control architectures:
1973 Element2025 Counterpart$12/barrel oil$200/ton carbon offset marketsWalter Levy's oil forecastsClimate risk modelingPetrodollar recyclingESG investment criteria
Modern Syndromes of Economic Captivity
The 16:1 energy return ratio (fossil fuels vs renewables) sustains carbon lock-in, creating new financial dependencies that echo 1973 dynamics5:
Carbon Credit Systems: Replicate oil's role as a quasi-currency, with tradeable permits dictating economic activity5.
Digital CBDCs: Enable transaction-level sanctions enforcement through programmable money5.
Climate Agreements: Weaponized as tools for "green conditionality" in debt negotiations5.
The Unbroken Chain of Monetary Imperialism
From the 1973 abandonment of the gold standard to today's carbon markets, control mechanisms have evolved while maintaining elite dominance:
1973-1983: Petrodollar recycling consolidates Western financial power5
1993-2003: WTO/IMF structural adjustment programs enforce neoliberal policies5
2013-2023: ESG metrics and climate finance mechanisms emerge5
2023-2033: Carbon-based central bank digital currencies anticipated5
As in 1973, the 2025 Bilderberg agenda focuses on managing transition risks while maintaining oligarchic control. The psychological dynamics observed in Stockholm hostages now manifest in nations clinging to dollar hegemony despite its costs - a geopolitical Stockholm Syndrome where energy dependence breeds compliance15.
This 50-year arc reveals how crisis responses morph into control architectures. From Norrmalmstorg's vault to COP30 boardrooms, the mechanisms of coerced loyalty persist, rebranded but fundamentally unchanged. The challenge remains recognizing these patterns before new "syndromes" become entrenched global realities45.
