Alastair Crooke (not to be confused with the late great Alistair Cooke!) writing for Strategic Culture Foundation delivers a thoughtful discourse on how "the elites" of global governance try to (more or less surreptitiously) mould our attitudes and social mores to their liking, gradually shifting and transforming their narratives the better to persuade us to accept the type of eventual governance that they have in mind for us.

Always the objective is to move away from the "bottom up" democratic style of government (in so far as it has to date been permitted us) towards the "top down" style where government is in the hands of "the elites" who tell the rest of us how we must live and what we must and must not do.

This latter style of course has been massively favoured by dictatorial regimes throughout history (Hitler, Pol Pot, Napoleon, Stalin, Mao to name but a very few). It tends not to work too well either for those who are ruled, or even for those who do the ruling, as sooner or later regime change of some sort catches up with them, frequently brutally.

Alastair's article makes for a fascinating read - recommended.
