The Paris "futuribles" group was run by Bertrand deJouvenel, the hardcore Wells disciple who is the mostrevered figure among today's "futurist" operatives. Duringthe 1930s and early 1940s, de Jouvenel was one of France'smost ardent supporters of Hitler. Upon seeing Germanyfirst-hand under the Nazis, he wrote: "How can one helpbut think of the Order of the Jesuits, of the admirableunity of its diverse activities? The German intellectualworld constitutes in the same way an Order working forthe greatest glory of the fatherland."De Jouvenel offered advice on how to perfect theworkings of the fascist state: "In our recent admirationfor the totalitarian state, we have not yet understood thatthe absolutism of the State must be corrected |jy theconstitution of small collectivities which solicit and satisfythe human instinct for loyalty, which make bloom thosefeelings which the State takes advantage of but which isitself incapable of arousing."Centralized control and "small community groups": theessence of the Aquarian Conspiracy.De Jouvenel's influence was pervasive throughout theYear 2000 work. One piece of evidence is a documentpublished in 1967 by a participant in the U.S. Commissionfor the Year 2000 who came to the commission from theState Department Policy Planning Staff. The document wastitled "America in the Technetronic Age." The author'sname is Zbigniew Brzezinski.Brzezinski wrote that America was moving into a society"increasingly unlike its industrial predecessor," a "technetronic"society that could easily become a "technocraticdictatorship." The society would be characterized by an"information revolution," "cybernetics," and the replacementof "achievement-orientation" by "amusementfocus"based on "spectator spectacles [mass sports and TV]providing an opiate for increasingly purposeless masses.""In the technetronic society," Brzezinski went on, "industrialemployment yields to services, with automationand cybernetics replacing individual operation of machines."This will occur simultaneously with "the increasingavailability of bio-chemical means of human control."Also, "new forms of social control may be needed to limitthe indiscriminate exercise by individuals of their newpowers. . . . The possibility of extensive chemical mindcontrol . . . will call for a social definition of commoncriteria of restraint as well as of utilization."This transformation, wrote Brzezinski, means thatAmerica, having left the industrial phase, is todayentering a distinct historical era, a different one fromthat of Western Europe and Japan. Subtle and stillindefinable changes in the American psyche providethe psychocultural underpinnings for the more evidentpolitical disagreements between the two sidesof the Atlantic. . . . Europe and America are no longerin the same historical era. What makes Americaunique in our time is that it is the first society toexperience the future ... be it pop art or LSD. . . .Today, America is the creative society; the others,consciously and unconsciously, are emulative.This fact, Brzezinski continued, will have enormousinternational repercussions. "The instantaneous electronicintermeshing of mankind will make for an intense confrontation,straining social and international peace."
