The Revolt of the Public and the Crisis of Authority in the New Millennium


The Fifth Wave refers to how information flows evolve: Not smoothly or evenly through history but in great pulses or waves, each of which helped determine a specific type of society. The invention of writing required rule by a Mandarin class; the alphabet made the classical republics possible; the printing press (surely the most disruptive of all) was necessary to the vast political and scientific revolutions of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; mass media helped educate, top down, the tens of millions who entered history in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The digital dispensation is the fifth such pulse or wave. Despite all the claims I make for it in the book, we are still in the earliest stages of this transformation, which means that events can evolve in any number of different directions."

  1. ..."they can't stop the message" (though this go around they are giving it all they got employing technology as never before. thing for it, when a plurality says BFYTW!, there's this honorable resistance who are impossible to control, and currently THR is near around a hundred million armed to the effin' teeth, this here is a certain kind of paradigm, one constituting those millions along with kith and kin who are indeed all of a certain mind, they may not exactly be aware of who and what is either enslaving folks or killing good folks in droves and millions, only that and this is to the bine understanding, something incarnate evil operates along the fringes of the shadows, no doubt, it is out there, it possesses proxies foul, doing its terrible deeds, and right now the sense exists a very unusual culminating point being not too far off, where this ancient evil for the first time faces it's own special existentialism. it may well be for the first time in 2000 years we become individual Sovereign beings, an unto foreseen great leap, which thru time and it's cousin consequence there is nothing for it but going forward or die. Down to the wire. It is not rocket science the money is gone, this cabal is running on fumes left of the almost unimaginable wealth it has stolen from all of us who they long in generational terms over centuries are accustomed, deemed their slave class. And that is the whole rub. Power and money. Rule be this wicked satanic organized crime gang. That is really all they are, criminal gang members. They are losing through no fault but their own and this hundred million armed to the effin' teeth who say BFYTW)
