Jacques Attali,<\/a>\u00a079, has a varied CV.\u00a0 For ten years he worked as an adviser to former French President Francois Mitterrand.\u00a0In 1980, he started the European program\u00a0Eureka<\/i>\u00a0(a major European program on new technologies that invented, among other things, the MP3).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nIn 1991, he co-founded the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.\u00a0 He is also at the origin of the higher education reform, known as LMD, designed to bring all European degrees into line.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nHe has published over\u00a0<\/span>50 books, selling over 6 million copies worldwide.\u00a0They include an adoring biography of banker Siegmund Warburg.<\/span><\/p>\nHe has also written a glowing account of Karl Marx, arguing that Marx was a free-marketeer who favored capitalism as a stepping-stone to his Communist ideal and predicted globalization as we know it today (i.e. the New World Order).<\/p>\n
I have selected a few themes to give you a flavor of the book.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n![\"jacques_attali_reference.jpg\"](\"https:\/\/www.henrymakow.com\/jacques_attali_reference.jpg\")
<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n(Jacques Attali, left)<\/i>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nIMMIGRATION<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nImmigration flows will expand and submerge nation-states. \u00a0‘Great Britain will become a major host country, especially for citizens of Central European countries. The latter will in their turn welcome Ukrainian workers, themselves replaced by Russians, themselves replaced by vast Chinese populations.’<\/span><\/p>\nResistant countries will learn that a population inflow ‘is the condition of their survival.’\u00a0\u00a0In a sinister passage, Attali speaks of third-world hordes engulfing the West.<\/b>
\n<\/b><\/p>\n
‘Ever more numerous masses will hurl themselves at the gates of the West. They already number hundreds of thousands every month; that figure will increase to millions, then tens of millions.’
\n<\/b><\/p>\n
The United States will be the most popular destination and ‘In twenty years, the Hispanic and African-American populations will almost constitute a majority in the United States.’<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nNomadism will also become the norm in the West, ‘as more and more people will leave one country for another: there will soon be more than ten million of them switching countries every year.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nOur main incentive will be money, but many will leave because they are disgusted by their homeland.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n‘They [will] no longer want to depend on a country whose tax system, legislation, and even culture they reject. And also to disappear completely, to live another life. The world will thus be increasingly filled with people who have become anonymous of their own free will; it will be like a carnival where everyone – ultimate freedom! – will have chosen a new identity for himself.’<\/b><\/span><\/p>\nSEXUALITY<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nIn the future, people will no longer bond and create families. ‘The couple will no longer be the principal base for life and sexuality. [People] will prefer to choose, in full transparency, polygamous or polyandrous loves.’<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nThe driving force of this trend is technology that frees youth from parental control. The first was the radio, which allowed the young:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n‘To dance outside the ballrooms and therefore be free of parental supervision-\u00a0liberating sexuality, opening them to all kinds of music, from jazz to rock, and thus announcing youth’s entry into the world of consumption, of desire, and of rebellion.’<\/span><\/p>\n![\"paris-hilton-getty.jpg\"](\"https:\/\/www.henrymakow.com\/upload_images\/paris-hilton-getty.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
A media-dominated culture will create an egocentric populace who ‘will be loyal only to themselves.’<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nWith lovers failing to mate for life, ‘the world will be no more than a juxtaposition of solitudes, and love a juxtaposition of ‘masturbation.’<\/p>\n
The elite goal is to remove love from sex so that they control reproduction.\u00a0 Attali writes that in the twentieth century, society ‘sought to evacuate the reproductive role of sexuality by making motherhood artificial, by using increasingly sophisticated methods- pills, premature labor, in vitro fertilization, surrogate mothers.’<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nIn the future, society ‘will even go so far as to dissociate reproduction and sexuality.\u00a0\u00a0Sexuality will be the kingdom of pleasure, reproduction that of machines.’<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nFuture generations ‘will manufacture the human being like a made-to-measure artefact, in an artificial uterus, which will allow the brain to further develop with characteristics chosen in advance. The human being will thus have become a commercial object.’<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nSURVEILLANCE<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nAttali paints a picture of a surveillance society that would make the Stasi wince.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nEven our washing machines will be conspiring against us,\u00a0 while the ‘packaging of food products, clothing vehicles, and household goods will become “communicative.”‘<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nWe will live with untrustworthy robots.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n‘Domestic robots will become universal in daily life. They too will be constantly connected to high-output grids in nomadic ubiquity. They will function as domestic help, as aids for the handicapped or aged, as workers and as members of security forces. In particular, they will become “Watchers.”‘<\/span><\/p>\nAll our data will be collected by public and private security firms. \u00a0The main form of surveillance will be portable entertainment devices. The embryo of this today is the iPhone which sends data to the NSA.<\/b><\/p>\n
‘The unique nomadic object will be permanently traceable. All the data it contains, including images of everyone’s daily life, will be stored and sold to specialist businesses and to public and private police.’<\/p>\n
By 2050, these machines will have evolved into what Attali calls ‘self-surveillance machines’ that will allow everyone to monitor his own compliance with the norms.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nWe will monitor our consumption of water, energy, and raw materials. We will even have the ‘opportunity to measure, permanently or periodically, the parameters of [our] own body.’<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n‘Electronic bugs, worn subcutaneously, will ceaselessly register heartbeat, blood pressure, and cholesterol. Microprocessors connected to various organs will watch their functioning as compared to the norms.’
\n<\/span><\/p>\nLiving insecure and chaotic lives, we will be dependent on insurance companies for security. These companies will make sure their clients ‘conform to norms to minimize the risks … They will gradually come to dictate planetary norms (What to eat? What to know? How to drive? How to protect oneself? How to consume? How to produce?)’<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nThese companies will be ruthless.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n‘They will penalize smokers, drinkers, the obese, the unemployable, the inadequately protected, the aggressive, the\u00a0careless, the clumsy,\u00a0the absentminded, the spendthrift. Ignorance, exposure to risks, wasting, and vulnerability will be considered diseases.’<\/span><\/p>\nPrisons ‘will be gradually replaced by long-distance surveillance of a person under house arrest.’<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nTHE FUTURE OF THE US<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nThe dollar will remain dominant until at least 2025 when foreign backers will start abandoning it and ‘the credit pyramid, based on the value of American housing, will collapse.’<\/b><\/p>\n
The US will then start disintegrating, with violence and chaos ensuing. Attali states, ‘It will not be tomorrow’s Africa that will one day resemble today’s West, but the whole West that could tomorrow evoke today’s Africa.’<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nThe US will then have to redesign its government to regain control.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n‘The United States could then become a Scandinavian-style social democracy or a dictatorship – and even perhaps the one after the other. It would not be the first time such a surprise occurred: the first leader to apply the principles required to emerge from the crisis of the [last depression] was Mussolini; the second was Hitler. Roosevelt only came third.’<\/span><\/p>\nAs chaos and violence engulf the world, Christianity and Islam will strengthen. The Bible Belt region in the Southern US will mobilize and could dominate US politics.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n‘The United States could then around 2040 fall prey to a theocratic temptation, explicit or implicit, in the shape of theocratic isolationism in which democracy would be no more than a shadowy presence.’<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\nThis Christian movement could be used in a war against a mobilized Islam, which would presumably weaken and discredit both religions.\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nAn international Christian alliance ‘could well form alliances here and there with secular pirates and traffickers in arms, women and drugs.’<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nThis alliance will ‘stand face to face against Islam\u00a0\u00a0– and the struggle will be relentless. They will defend Christians in countries where they are a minority, as in Lebanon, Iraq and Syria.’<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nBefore the end of the century the US will be disintegrated and under the authority of a collectivist world government.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n___

<\/span>In a book Henry Kissinger called “brilliant and provocative… Difficult to dismiss,” Jacques Attali confirms that the Illuminati bankers are imposing a hideous “Brave New World” on mankind, one divorced from goodness, truth, or reality. \u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
