Advancing the Open Conspiracy: H.G. Wellsand the World State

JANUARY 16, 2012

To understand the present, and to contemplatethe future, requires that we explore the past.

H.G. Wells was one of the most influential visionaries of the early twentieth century. His manybooks, both fiction and non-fiction, inspired multitudes of men and women who, like Wells, lookedto a “World State” as the savior of humanity. Although he wrote often of a World State, Mr. Wells’optimism for the future of mankind waned due to the destructiveness of World War II. Nevertheless,his desire for an “Open Conspiracy” – a movement of organizations and people seeking theestablishment of a world collective – was forefront in his thinking.

If you want to understand this movement, historically and inits contemporary formats, then read the Forcing Change(http://www.forcingchange.org) journal. Forcing Change(http://www.forcingchange.org) is entering its 6th year!

Here’s ten kicker quotes from Mr. Wells on advancing the OpenConspiracy and its anticipated outcome: The World State.

1. “The idea of a world commonweal has to be established as the criterion of politicalinstitutions, and also as the criterion of general conduct in hundreds of millions of brains.It has to dominate education everywhere in the world. When that end is achieved, then theworld state will be achieved…” – H.G. Wells, The Salvaging of Civilization: The Probable Futureof Mankind (New York: The Macmillan Company, 1921), p.21.

2. “We must be prepared to see an Association of Nations in conference growing into anorganic system of world controls for world affairs and the keeping of the world’s peace, orwe must be prepared for – a continuation of war.” – H.G. Wells, Washington and the Riddle ofPeace (New York: The Macmillan Company, 1922), pp.215-216

3. “It [a new world order] needs only that the governments of Britain, the United States,France, Germany, and Russia should get together in order to set up an effective control ofcurrency, credit, production, and distribution – that is to say, an effective ‘dictatorship ofprosperity,’ for the whole world. The other sixty odd States would have to join in oraccommodate themselves to the over-ruling decisions of these major Powers.” – H.G. Wells,Journalism and Prophecy, 1893-1946 (Boston, MA: Houghton Mifflin, 1964, compiled and edited byW. Warren Wagar), p.214. This quote first published in 1931.

4. “A world revolution to a higher social order, a world order, or utter downfall lies beforeus all.” – H.G. Wells, Journalism and Prophecy, 1893-1946 (Boston, MA: Houghton Mifflin, 1964,compiled and edited by W. Warren Wagar), p.252. This quote first published in 1939.

5. “I am for world-control of production and of trade and transport, for a world coinage,and the confederation of mankind. I am for the super-State…” – H.G. Wells, A Year ofProphesying (Toronto, ON: Tyerson Press, 1924), p.86.

6. “The world needs something stronger than any possible rebellion against its peace. Inother words it needs a federal world government embodying a new conception of humanlife as one whole.” – H.G. Wells, The Outline of History, Volume III – Modern History (New York,NY: Triangle Books, 1940 edition), p.1170.

7. “Now the most comprehensive conception of this new world is of one politically, sociallyand economically united… To this end a small but increasing body of people in the worldset their faces and seek to direct their lives.” – H.G. Wells, The Open Conspiracy: Blue Prints fora World Revolution (Garden City, NY: Doubleday, Doran and Co., 1928), pp.27-28.

8. “The world state must begin; it can only begin, as a propaganda cult, or as a group ofpropagandist cults, to which men and women must give themselves and their energies,regardless of the consequence to themselves… The activities of a cult which sets itself tobring about the world-state would at first be propagandist, they would be intellectual andeducational, and only as a sufficient mass of opinion and will had accumulated would theybecome to a predominant extent politically constructive. Such a cult must direct itselfparticularly to the teaching of the young.” – H.G. Wells, The Salvaging of Civilization: TheProbable Future of Mankind (New York: The Macmillan Company, 1921), pp.37-38.

9. “The character of the Open Conspiracy [the movement towards a world collective] willnow be plainly displayed. It will have become a great world movement as widespread andevident as socialism or communism. It will largely have taken the place of thesemovements. It will be more, it will be a world religion.” – H.G. Wells, The Open Conspiracy:Blue Prints for a World Revolution (Garden City, NY: Doubleday, Doran and Co., 1928), p. 163.

10. “The establishment of the world community will surely exact a price – and who can tellwhat that price may be? – in toil, suffering and blood.” – H.G. Wells, The Open Conspiracy:Blue Prints for a World Revolution (Garden City, NY: Doubleday, Doran and Co., 1928), p.193.

January 18, 2012 1:47 amMaybe going over the board here.

In the 1940s A Russian experiment was able to revive a decapitated dog using science (go toYoutube and search for more details). That was waaaaay back then without the use of theadvanced technologies we have today.

Though, not a reliable source. I read that Albert Einstein died from a heart failure and asked notto have a funeral. And his brain was donated to science. As famous as a guy like him, his deathwas not well known.

A Quote from Albert Einstein: I dont know what World War III will be fought in, but World warIV will be fought with sticks and stones. Is there a worst/better weapon than Nuclear poweredweapons?

Do you think hes still alive? Alot of secrets has been kept from the public. what do you think? Imjust asking for opinions. please dont bash.

REPLYforcingchange PERMALINK*January 18, 2012 10:11 amYou have an interesting question, Fran. I’ve never explored the death of Einstein or any ofthe speculation around it, so I can’t give you an opinion regarding what happened.

As far as the state of science: I believe science has a deeper history than we’re taught. The dogexperiment is a case in point, as is the work of Jose Delgado – who, in the 1960s, insertedradio transmitters into the brains of animals and thereby demonstrated remote accessbehavioral control. In Delgado’s book, Physical Control of the Mind, he suggests that thistechnical science will lead to a “psychocivilized society.” In 1969 Delgado penned thefollowing; “We are at the beginning of a new ideological and technological revolution inwhich the objects are not physical power and control of the environment, but directintervention into the fate of man himself.”

We live in interesting times!

I submit to you that the ideology that has gained predominance is Agenda 21.
