The National Intelligence Council Predicts a Very Transhuman …

The National Intelligence Council is a high-level agency best known for producing National Intelligence Estimates forecasts predicting future trends and issues of the next fifteen years. These extensive reports are produced every election year and are directly delivered to the incoming President between Election Day and Inauguration Day. The latest NIC report released on December 2012 is called Global Trends 2030: Alternative Worlds (read it here) and discusses several issues such as the decline of the role of the United States as a global policeman and the rise of non-state actors in world politics. It also mentions another key issue: A fast-paced race towards transhumanism.

Human Augmentation is indeed considered a key issue in the next 15 years as new technologies will allow all kinds of modifications ranging from implants and prosthetics to powered exoskeletons, human augmentation enhancing innate human abilities. These augmentations would be used on soldiers, workers and anyone that can afford them, giving them super-human powers and capabilities, whether it be on a physical or a mental level.

Some might say: That sounds cool VC, what is wrong with that? Why do you always say that it is wrong. I personally never described transhumanism as being right or wrong, I dont make these kinds of judgement calls. I however do have facts about the issue. First, transhumanism is undeniably being actively pushed by mass media and promoted as something that is necessary and inevitable in the future; Second, it is a logical continuation of the Luciferian philosophy held by the world elite where godhood and immortality is meant to be achieved by humans by their own means. In fact, Max More, a leading transhumanist philosopher considers himself as a Luciferian.

The DevilLuciferis a force for good (where I define good simply as that which I value, not wanting to imply any universal validity or necessity to the orientation). Lucifer means light-bringer and this should begin to clue us in to his symbolic importance. The story is that God threw Lucifer out of Heaven because Lucifer had started to question God and was spreading dissension among the angels. We must remember that this story is told from the point of view of the Godists (if I may coin a term) and not from that of the Luciferians (I will use this term to distinguish us from the official Satanists with whom I have fundamental differences). The truth may just as easily be that Lucifer resigned from heaven.- Max More, In Praise of the Devil.

Lastly, due to the prohibitive cost of human augmentation, transhumanism will only be available to the richest and most powerful people and the world (the world elite) and will created an even wider gap between the masses and the elite. The National Intelligence Council report states:

The high cost of human augmentation means that it probably will be available in 15-20 years only to those who are able to pay. Such a situation may lead to a two-tiered society.

This is why transhumanism is so heavily promoted in mass media. It will only be available to the richest people on Earth, creating a separate, elite class of superhumans and this concept needs to be accepted by the masses, even if it goes against its best interests. Through predictive programming using movies, TV and video games, the masses are programmed in perceiving transhumanism as an inevitability, as something that is bound to happen. That way, when it will actually happen, nobody will be outraged by it, it will be considered as something normal.

Heres an article on the NIC Report.

The National Intelligence Council has just released its much anticipated forecasting report, a 140-page document that outlines major trends and technological developments we should expect in the next 20 years. Among their many predictions, the NIC foresees the end of U.S. global dominance, the rising power of individuals against states, a growing middle class that will increasingly challenge governments, and ongoing shortages in water, food and energy. But they also envision a future in which humans have been significantly modified by their technologies what will herald the dawn of the transhuman era.
