    The Modern Man: The Future According to Toffler

    by Mike Visockis

    VNS and CAJI/IS Exclusive

    Why should we listen to any of the words of a man named Alvin Toffler? Born in 1928this man has written several works on the future and how to implement change. He has

    taught many influential people at Cornell University. Now many of you have probably

    read about the Communist Manifesto and have come to realize how many of those plankshave come to fruition. Just like that manifesto, Toffler has made more specific

    predictions in his book back in 1980 that we can see are coming true even today.

    Ever since the 1960s we have seen the increase of New Age ideas and the decrease of

    the prominence of moral people the world round. To say nothing about the Christian

    religion, getting beheaded, figuratively and literally. Toffler explains the changes that thathe wants to see, The tide of the world today, creating a new environment work,

    play, marry, raise children, or retire. Value systems splinter and crash, while lifeboats

    of family, church, and state are hurled madly about.

    His predictions read like a New York Times bestselling novel, however in reality it is

    disturbing and we can see it happening before our eyes. Many of todays changes are notindependent nor are they random. That means these changes are planned out to be

    this way on purpose. These trends are interconnected. They are in fact parts of a much

    larger phenomenon the rise of a new civilization.

    These revolutionaries are here to design a coherent, effective response. Similar to the

    design of the Hegelian dialectic, Toffler explains what we are living out today is the end

    that justifies the means of a large scale synthesis. What this presents is a new

    civilization.

    Old ways of thinking dogmas, and ideologies, no matter how cherished or how usefulin the past, no longer fit the facts. The world that is fast emerging new values and

    technologies, new geopolitical relationships, new lifestyles, and modes of communication

    new ideas and ideologies. We cannot cram the embryonic world of tomorrow intoyesterdays conventional cubby holes nor are the orthodox attitudes or moods

    appropriate. (Toffler, p. 2)

    The future will be full of real dangers like crises involving nuclear war, environmental

    hazards, racial conflict, regional violence, wars, economic, and technological disaster.

    This will involve new relationships new forms of family life todays greatestperils. Do I need to mention Ferguson, Missouri or Baltimore, Maryland?

    Speaking of the people in general, in the very midst of birth and life with intelligence emergent civilization can be made more sane, sensible, and sustainable, more decent

    and more democratic than any we have ever known are likely to be stormy and crisis

    ridden. (p. 3)

    There will be costs of not changing and it will happen rapidly enough. And in our

    modern time, A third wave phase now beginning. (p. 4) People and businesses arebeing forced to pay for abortions and to do work for homosexuals.

    He quotes Norbert Elias as saying that the civilizing process is a wave of advancing

    integration over several centuries.

    Toffler says that this is not simply a new idea for a new millennium, but a tool fororganizing vast masses of info so the confusing becomes clear. He says there will

    even be in every field innovations that are truly revolutionary. Remember what

    Bill Cooper explained on the air several times. The level of technology that is held in

    secret is 50 to 100 years more advanced than what is on the public domain. Which if true,

    it would be easy for those worthy people to dazzle us with new invention in a short

    period of time.

    Toffler even confesses that most of these ideas started, When I was a Marxist during my

    late teens and early twenties. Heexplains that we are in a time of exploding change with personal lives being torn apart. The existing social order crumbling new ways of

    life emerging on the horizon intellectual curiosity. Its a matter of survival. (p. 5)

    He is not alone in his beliefs. These are the same ideas today that we can see in our

    leaders and politicians calling themselves Democrats, Liberals, and Progressives today.

    We are engaged in resisting or creatingthe new civilization. (p. 8) Make nomistake, this is the hope and change that the Obama campaign was talking about way

    back in the 2008 election. In reality these are the same old Communist ideas from the

    days of Karl Marx.

    In chapter one of his book The Third Wave Toffler explains the future super struggle. Anew civilization . blind men everywhere are trying to suppress it. I bet you can guess

    who the blind people are referring to. This includes, New family styles neweconomy, new political conflicts altered consciousness well.

    Speaking from the 1960s, The dawn of this new civilization [is the] key tounderstanding the years immediately ahead. It is a civilization with its own distinctive

    world outlook, its own way of dealing with time, space, logic, and causality. It will be

    Tearing our families apart, rocking our economy shattering our values affectseveryone.

    [Zbigniew] Brzezinski has told us we face a technotronic age superindustrialsociety a new society can come into our lives. Toeffler continues, Humanity

    quantum leap forward deepest social upheaval restructuring of all time building a

    remarkable new civilization from the ground up.

    This new civilization of the future will be, Highly technological and anti-industrial,

    including a new way of life renewable energy non-nuclear families radicallychanged schools and corporations new code of behavior for us. The new order

    challenges the old, will topple bureaucracies, reduce the role of the nation state, and give

    rise to the semi-autonomous economies more democratic. This means mob rule, notfreedom or Constitutional.

    This group really believes that they are doing something benevolent. With some

    intelligent help from usturns out to be the first truly humane civilization in recordedhistory.

    The author even call this future The Revolutionary Premise truly different way of life

    let alone a totally new civilization. The people fed on a steady diet of bad news,

    disaster movies, apocalyptic Bible stories, and nightmare scenarios issued by prestigious

    think tanks there is no future.

    Society is inevitablydestined to self-destruct within our lifetime, there is nothing we can

    do about it. It is a revolutionary premise. In the decades immediately ahead

    upheavals, turbulence violence.These changes are cumulativethat they add up to agiant transformation in the way we live, work, play, and think. What is happening now is

    nothing less than a global revolution, a quantum jump in history. This will look like

    nothing people have ever seen before.

    In short, the revolutionary premise liberates [unrestrained liberty] our intellect and our

    will. (p. 9- 12)

    To say that the changes we face will be revolutionary, however, is not enough. The

    idea of what these people in power want to do to us is to control or channel them.These people believe in history as a succession of rolling waves of change we can

    influence them. (p. 13) Our message to the peoples who believe in freedom and ourConstitutional Republic is that we need to influence this world for the better or the

    enemies of freedomwill havemore control every passing day.

    After World War II [the] Third Wave began to surge across the earth. After about1955 white collar and service workers outnumber blue collar workers for the firsttime. Introduction to the computer, commercial jet travel, the birth control pill has

    gained force in the United States.

    Todays reactionaries, both left and right wing, are fighting to preserve, the old

    order. It is this world that is threatened by historys Third Wave of civilizational

    change. (p. 14) Clearly freedom loving people are the enemy of this new civilizationcoming wave after wave.

    Prominent 33rd Degree Freemason Albert Pike wrote in his book Morals and Dogma saidhis Communists in the future We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists. It seems

    that they have been doing that very thing in America and they are doing ii today. They

    have threatened us and have put Christianity under attack once more.
