137. Lured into a Technocratic Future – Jacob Nordangård

Mind the Shift

Jacob Nordangård used to be an enthusiastic member of the environmentalist movement. Always inquisitive, he began looking into its origins. To his surprise, not to say dismay, he found that much of the green agenda, including the climate change narrative, had been developed by global elites – organizations, associations and large corporations, even Big Oil. “The environmental movement I was a part of was set up by very powerful people. It made me angry.” Jacob started writing hardrock music to let the steam out. He also went into academia to do deeper research. His PhD thesis covered the history of the EU’s biofuel policy. What Jacob did, and what nobody previously had done in this context, was to expose the links between the policies and the coterie of elite figures pushing for them. The head of the Club of Rome tried to stop the thesis. Jacob Nordangård delved further into the matrix of behind-the-scenes decision makers. He wrote books about it. One is about the Rockefellers, a powerful family that, according to Jacob, has been instrumental for the agenda of the global elite. But there is a whole global network of large foundations, corporations, banks, think tanks and families that shape much of the policies that later appear on the national level. “It’s not like they took over the climate agenda, they created it“, says Jacob. He quotes Vladimir Lenin: “It’s better to run the opposition yourself. Then they will work for you.” As Jacob sees it, the goal of this elite is to create a world which is managed globally. There are several avenues to achieve this if you focus on features that are truly global, such as climate, infectious diseases, digitization and money. They also push the now very questionable narrative of ‘overpopulation’. “We won’t need people, they think.” These elite groups have had an enormous impact on the UN policies, Jacob says. His latest book “Temple of Solomon” (out in December of 2024) ties together his earlier work, but it adds a spiritual perspective and has a more personal touch. He makes references to many of the large spiritual traditions, which have been used as an inspiration for the elitist agenda of a ‘new human’. But are those traditions themselves nefarious? “No, they’re not. I follow much of the teachings myself. But the technocratic elite has hijacked them”, says Jacob. He doesn’t want to claim that these people are intentionally evil. A lot of them want a better world. They believe they are doing a good thing. But they try to cheat in a natural system. “They want to create a perfect world with technology. But that takes away what’s human.” __________ ✅ Resources Jacob’s website Books Jacob’s hardrock band Wardenclyffe
