How 'Money Powers' manufacture perpetual state of emergency

Money Powers manufactures a perpetual state of emergency by substituting crises with mathematical models and simulations, argues the piece. It contends ruling elites deploy scientific hypotheses and virtual simulations to engineer a permanent emergency, shaping policy through central planning rather than democratic processes. The article frames this technocratic warfare as rooted in colonial plunder and the legacy of Thomas Malthus, who warned population growth would outpace food supply. It traces the modern revival to the 1971 Nixon Shock and the 1972 Limits to Growth report funded by a Rockefeller-linked Club of Rome, which used basic computer models to forecast environmental collapse and promote anti-growth ideology. The piece also links Beijing’s One-Child Policy after Mao to Japanese planners and a broader population-control agenda, illustrating how such policies have been integrated into economic strategies.
