Who destroyed humanity? The engineered decline of a Civilized World
Humanity did not arrive at this crisis by accident. We were not born into chaos — we were led into it. If life was once simple, sacred, and balanced. Homes didn’t need surveillance cameras, children didn’t fear playing till dusk, mothers weren’t forced to prove her worth, work was not a battlefield, animals & plants & trees were not resources – they were co-partners in life. People shared food, protected each other and lived with dignity. No one was bigger or better than the other. This was true equality in practice. It wasn’t imposed by policy — it was lived as a natural way of life. There were no lawyers, police, judges or jury – because society knew right from wrong. There was no confusion about man and woman – no 70 plus genders, no nude parades, no engineered absurdities for attention or profit. In every sphere of life – spiritual, moral, cultural, environmental – humanity has declined. Inspite of national & international laws, regulations, monitoring, prison systems, justice systems – nothing has improved except descend further to decay. Now, we must ask the question too few dare to confront: Who is responsible? When and where did this decline begin? This is not just a story of changing times. It is a timeline of deliberate civilizational sabotage — led by imperial powers, industrial profiteers, and thereafter passing baton to modern-day technocrats who sell control as progress and confusion as freedom. To understand the decay of humanity, we must trace the timeline of its destruction — from colonial conquest to artificial intelligence.
How Humanity Began: What Earth looked like when Humans emerged
By 300,000 years ago, Homo sapiens first appeared in Africa (Jebel Irhoud, Morocco), with continents largely in their current positions.
- Around 100,000–70,000 years ago, humans began migrating out of Africa into the Middle East, Asia, Europe, Australia, and eventually the Americas.
- Between 50,000–40,000 years ago, humans spread across Europe, Southeast Asia, and Australia.
- From 38,000 BCE onward, Balangoda Man thrived in Sri Lanka, one of South Asia’s earliest modern human populations, living sustainably with stone tools and symbolic culture.
- By 20,000–12,000 years ago, humans settled the Americas via the Bering land bridge.
Early Human Societies
These prehistoric communities were tribal, spiritual, and cooperative. They lived in harmony with nature, honoring cosmic cycles and ancestral spirits. Far from “primitive,” they embodied intelligence, dignity, and ecological wisdom.
Cradles of Civilization (10,000–3,000 BCE)
- Mesopotamia (modern Iraq): Sumerians developed writing, cities, and law.
- Ancient Egypt: Unified kingdom by 3100 BCE, known for architecture and spiritual thought.
- Indus Valley (modern Pakistan–NW India): Peaceful cities with advanced urban planning (~3300–1300 BCE).
- Ancient China: Yellow River cultures with early technology and philosophy.
- Andean Civilizations (Peru): Norte Chico (~3000 BCE) with temple complexes predating the Inca.
- Africa’s Great Civilizations: Nubia, Axum, Carthage, Mali, Great Zimbabwe thrived in trade and scholarship.
- Indigenous Civilizations: Aboriginal Australians (60,000+ years), Native Americans, Polynesians and others lived with rich spiritual and ecological systems.
- Sri Lanka: From ~38,000 BCE with Balangoda Man to the sophisticated Anuradhapura Kingdom (4th century BCE), practicing advanced irrigation, sustainable agriculture, and Buddhist ethical governance — a rare example of ecological and spiritual civilization.
All these societies, diverse as they were, shared harmony over domination, nurturing community, morality, and spirituality.
Pre-Age of Discovery Conquests: Early violent expansions
Long before European maritime explorations of the 15th century, many civilizations engaged in warfare, territorial conquest, and empire-building through violence:
- Ancient Mesopotamian Empires (circa 3000 BCE onward):Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians, and Assyrians expanded through military conquest, capturing cities, enslaving populations, and imposing tribute.
- Ancient Egypt:Frequently campaigned to control neighboring Nubia and the Levant, using diplomacy and military force to extend influence.
- Indus Valley Civilization:Known for its urban planning and relative peace; however, later Indo-Aryan migrations into the region possibly involved conflict and cultural shifts.
- Ancient Persia (Achaemenid Empire, 6th century BCE):Built one of history’s largest empires through conquests and diplomacy, incorporating many diverse peoples.
- Classical Greece and Rome (circa 500 BCE–400 CE):Engaged in near-constant warfare to expand territories. Rome’s empire was built on conquest, subjugation, and slavery, setting a precedent for Western imperialism.
- Islamic Caliphates (7th–10th centuries CE):Rashidun, Umayyad, and Abbasid Caliphates rapidly expanded across the Middle East, North Africa, parts of Europe, and Asia through military campaigns, political integration, and the spread of Islam as both religion and governance.
- Vikings (8th–11th centuries CE):Norse seafarers raided, traded, and settled across Europe and beyond, often violently impacting local populations.
- Mongol Empire (13th century CE): One of history’s most expansive and violent empires, sweeping across Asia and Eastern Europe with unprecedented speed and brutality.
The Western Disruption: How the “White World” Rose Late — and Violently
While Asia, Africa, and the Americas cultivated wisdom and sacred living, Western Europe lagged for millennia. Its “white civilization” took shape around Ancient Greece and Rome (circa 500 BCE – 1 CE), introducing philosophy and law—but also slavery, patriarchy, and imperialism.
After Rome’s fall, Europe entered the Dark Ages—a time of feudal oppression and religious control—while the rest of the world progressed. During the Renaissance (1300s–1500s), Europe revived classical ideals merged with religious zeal and launched global conquest.
Spain, Portugal, Britain, France, and the Dutch used religion, war, and maritime technology to colonize vast lands. In doing so, they invented “whiteness”—a racial identity asserting moral and intellectual superiority to justify slavery, genocide, and plunder.
Western Europe’s rise came more than 10,000 years after early human civilizations flourished worldwide, marking a late but violent global expansion that reshaped history forever.
Christian Maritime Exploration & Colonial Expansion
Christian-led maritime colonialism began in the 1400s CE — nearly two millennia after Buddhism, over a thousand years after Christianity’s birth, and centuries after the rise of Islam.
This late but forceful expansion marks the peak of Western Europe’s global conquest phase.
The modern world is built on centuries of civilizational theft — understanding this is essential to reclaiming our dignity, values, and future.
How did Western “White Civilization” turn to Conquest and Cruelty?
The shift from classical humanism to conquest was shaped largely by Christianity becoming a political and religious authority after Emperor Constantine in the 4th century CE.
Key factors:
- Religious Absolutism:Christianity demanded submission, leading to intolerance and forced conversions.
- Centralized Control:The Church allied with monarchies, creating rigid hierarchies that suppressed dissent.
- Doctrine of Divine Right:Papal Bulls (Orders issued by Pope) authorized explorers to conquer, enslave, and convert, giving violence a divine mandate.
- Economic Ambition:Wealth from new lands merged with spiritual zeal, making conquest both crusade and commerce.
- Dehumanization of Others:Non-Europeans were labeled pagans or savages, justifying cruelty.
- Suppression of Classical Values:Medieval religious orthodoxy often replaced reason and ethics with dogma and obedience.
Over centuries, religious authority fused with political and economic power, creating a systematic project of domination that betrayed earlier humanistic ideals.
Thus, Western Europe positioned itself as the “center,” rewriting what it meant to be human, civil, and modern—not as evolution, but as a hijack of civilization.
The era of spiritual harmony gave way to material conquest. Earth’s original civilizations were labeled backward. And so began the systematic dismantling of humanity.
While the Age of Discovery (15th century onward) is often highlighted for European overseas expansion, violent conquest and empire-building were longstanding features of human history. The critical difference was the unprecedented global scale, technological advances in navigation and weaponry, and the ideological justification—rooted in racial superiority and “civilizing missions”—that allowed European powers to dominate vast continents and reshape world history for centuries.
Important takeaways from above:
- Human origins and migrationsbegan in Africa over 300,000 years ago, spreading across the world with early societies living in harmony with nature.
- Multiple cradles of civilizationdeveloped independently across continents, each nurturing community, morality, and spirituality rooted in ecological wisdom.
- Western Europe’s “white civilization”emerged late, around Ancient Greece and Rome (~2,500 years ago), but took over a millennium to begin global maritime conquest in the 1400s CE.
- Christian maritime expansionwas driven by religious absolutism, centralized control, economic ambition, and racialized ideologies that justified violence, conquest, and subjugation.
- Muslim civilizationrose about 1000 years after Buddhism and 600 years after Christianity, expanding rapidly through military and political means while spreading religious governance.
- Violent conquest and empire-buildingexisted long before the Age of Discovery, with many ancient empires using warfare, slavery, and subjugation to expand power.
- TheAge of Discovery marked a new scale and global reach of conquest, fueled by advanced maritime technology and a unique ideological justification rooted in racial superiority and “civilizing missions.”
- The European colonial expansion wasnot a natural evolution but a hijacking of civilization, disrupting ancient societies that valued harmony over domination.
Understanding this history helps reveal the complex roots of modern global inequalities, conflicts, and the ongoing impact of colonialism.
Phase I: Religious Conquests — Breaking the Soul of Civilizations
Humanity did not descend into chaos by accident — we were led into it.
For thousands of years, civilizations across the world lived in harmony with nature and each other. Societies were spiritual, cooperative, and ecologically wise. Life was not perfect, but it was rooted in balance, not domination. There was dignity without hierarchy. There was no confusion about man and woman, no hyper-surveillance, no engineered absurdities. Justice was lived — not imposed by distant laws or corrupted courts.
But something changed.
To understand humanity’s decline, we must trace its timeline of destruction — from religious conquests to colonial imperialism. The first rupture came not from within societies, but from the outside — by forces that sought not coexistence, but control.
Religious Conquests before Colonialism
Before Western colonizers took to the seas, much of the world had already suffered upheaval through religiously driven conquest.
Islamic empires had already conquered vast regions — from Zoroastrian Persia and Buddhist Central Asia to parts of Hindu India and Christian North Africa — often through war, taxation, and forced conversion.
But it was European colonialism, beginning in the 15th century, that globalized this conquest — reaching every inhabited continent with unprecedented force, backed by race ideology, religious supremacy, and psychological warfare.
This was the first coordinated planetary hijack of humanity.
Beginning in the 7th century CE, Islamic Caliphates expanded rapidly across the Middle East, North Africa, parts of Europe, and Asia. Entire civilizational orders — Zoroastrian Persia, Buddhist Central Asia, Hindu-Buddhist India — were violently transformed through military campaigns, religious enforcement, and cultural suppression.
- Temples and monasteries were desecrated or destroyed.
- Indigenous traditions were suppressed under Sharia law.
- Non-Muslims were classified asdhimmi and taxed under the jizya.
- Religious governance displaced centuries-old spiritual systems.
One of the most devastating acts of spiritual erasure came in 1193 CE, when Bakhtiyar Khilji, a Turkish Muslim commander, burned down Nalanda University — the world’s oldest and largest Buddhist learning center. With its libraries incinerated and monks massacred, centuries of Buddhist knowledge were lost forever. This was not just a conquest of territory — it was the destruction of Dharma civilization’s soul.
The Rise of Western “White Civilization”
While Africa, Asia, and the Americas developed deep spiritual and ecological traditions, Western Europe remained marginal for much of early human history.
Its so-called “white civilization” began forming around Ancient Greece and Rome (circa 500 BCE – 1 CE), introducing law and philosophy — but also slavery, patriarchy, and imperialism. In contrast, civilizations like Sri Lanka’s Anuradhapura Kingdom thrived in the same era, rooted in Buddhist ethical governance, irrigation, and social harmony.
After the fall of Rome (5th century CE), Europe plunged into a thousand-year Dark Age — marked by feudalism, crusades, and religious dogma — while other regions continued to advance.
It wasn’t until the Renaissance (1300s–1500s) that Europe revived its classical roots. But this revival fused with Christian absolutism, racial arrogance, and a thirst for conquest — setting the stage for the next global rupture.
Christian Maritime Expansion & the Global Conquest
In the 15th century CE, Europe launched the so-called Age of Discovery — driven by Papal Bulls (Orders given by the Pope), maritime technology, and a newly invented racial identity: whiteness.
This global expansion was powered by:
- Religious Absolutism— Christianity as political dogma, demanding submission
- Divine Mandate— Papal decrees authorizing conquest, slavery, and forced conversion
- Economic Greed— Colonies were turned into resource mines
- Dehumanization— Non-Europeans labeled “savages” to justify exploitation
- Psychological Control— Colonized peoples were taught to idolize their oppressors
Christian maritime colonialism began nearly 2,000 years after the Buddha, 1,400 years after Christ, and 800 years after Islam — yet it proved the most systematic and globally devastating.
Europe’s rise was not evolution — it was a violent hijack of civilization.
Colonialism: The Biggest Global Hijack of Humanity
Colonialism was not just about stealing land. It was a soul-theft — of memory, identity, knowledge, and meaning.
Entire civilizations — built on sustainability, spirituality, and moral restraint — were dismantled and forcibly replaced by foreign systems of control.
What They Destroyed:
- InSri Lanka: Buddhist jurisprudence and Dharma-based governance
- AcrossAsia, Africa, and the Americas: Indigenous self-rule, communal life, and local economies
- Traditional medicine, education, and agricultural wisdom
- Spiritual unity and inter-tribal harmony
- Cultural pride, oral histories, and ancestral heritage
- Entire populations — from Native Americans to Aboriginal Australians — were wiped out
- In Sri Lanka’sUva-Wellassa Rebellion (1817–18), British forces enacted scorched-earth genocide, killing even infants under direct colonial orders
What They Introduced:
- Divide-and-rule tacticsto incite internal conflict
- Caste manipulationand creation of elite collaborators
- Artificial labels: “majorities” vs “minorities”
- Cash crop dependencyto destroy food sovereignty
- Missionary imperialism: status, jobs, and education only for converts
- Western dress, names, and languagesto erase identity
- Imported laws and educationglorifying the West and demonizing local values
- Psychological colonization: taught to worship colonizers, and hate their own roots
Colonialism exported not just control — but Western vices: consumerism, soulless individualism, greed, racial hierarchy, and spiritual alienation.
These were foreign diseases introduced to civilizations that had long practiced moral restraint, harmony, and respect for life.
The Engineered Decline Begins
Together, religious conquest and Western colonialism fractured the ecological, moral, and spiritual foundations of humanity.
What had once been a world of sacred order was turned into one of confusion, control, and consumption.
This was the first global phase of engineered dehumanization — not accidental, but deliberate. Not just a conquest of land, but a conquest of the soul.
Phase II: Industrial Civilization — The Rise of the Machine and the Fall of the Human
The conquest of land was only the beginning. What followed was even more insidious:
The conquest of the mind, the body, and the soul.
While Phase I shattered traditional civilizations through religious conquest and colonialism, Phase II marked the transformation of human beings into tools, nature into resource, and wisdom into data. The machine did not just change how we lived — it redefined what life meant.
From Sacred Earth to Profit Machine
By the 18th century, Western empires had consolidated their colonial grip across Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Their next move was to industrialize — to replace meaning with measurement, relationship with extraction, and simplicity with complexity.
What began as mechanical innovation rapidly became a total civilizational redesign.
Traditional cultures, which honored community, restraint, and spiritual purpose, were dismantled and replaced with systems that worshipped productivity, profit, and perpetual growth. Time was no longer cyclical and sacred — it became a clock to control labor. The village became the factory. The human became a worker. The earth became a mine. Religion became ceremonial.
This transformation birthed a new kind of human:
Tireless, replaceable, trained to obey systems, disconnected from land, spirit, and self.
What the Machine Age did to the World
To Nature:
Forests were razed, rivers dammed, mountains mined — all to fuel an economy that never slept. Sacred lands became commodities. The earth was no longer a mother, but a market.
To Knowledge:
Indigenous wisdom was erased, mocked, or criminalized. Western education trained colonized minds to admire Europe and reject their own traditions. Progress became synonymous with Westernization and Western dogma.
To Humans:
People were reshaped into labor units. Families broke under the weight of urban migration and industrial schedules. Women bore double burdens — as workers and as “moral” anchors of broken homes. Children became factory hands, and later, test subjects in a system of standardized schooling that punished imagination and punished obedience to tradition.
To Society:
Self-sufficient communities were dismantled by extractive economies. Subsistence was replaced by cash dependency. Traditional vocations collapsed. Religion was privatized. Morality was bureaucratized.
Urbanization turned humans into tenants. Houses became concrete boxes. Lives were measured in salaries, careers, and debt. The elderly were discarded. The child became a future taxpayer.
To Economy: The Weaponization of Money and Debt
Where gold once held sacred value and barter sustained communities, the modern era introduced something far more dangerous: money without meaning.
- Colonial currenciesreplaced indigenous exchange systems — making people dependent on imperial banks.
- Loans and creditbecame traps, not lifelines. Generations were lured into debt to chase education, housing, or survival.
- Interest (usury)— once forbidden by many religions — became legal, normalized, and celebrated.
- National economieswere restructured around foreign debt and IMF/World Bank conditions, turning sovereign states into corporate clients.
Real wealth — land, water, food, family, dignity — was replaced by abstract numbers controlled by distant powers.
Freedom became impossible without money. And money became impossible without debt.
The New Powers: Industry, Bureaucracy, and the Cult of Progress
As colonial empires began to decline in name, they re-emerged in new forms:
- The king was replaced by the government.
- The church was replaced by the university.
- The missionary was replaced by the NGO.
- The sword was replaced by the contract.
- Prophecy was replaced by policy.
People were told they were free — but they had only been reformatted to be controlled.
What did this new control look like?
They were no longer ruled by kings, but by laws they did not write but had to accept.
They could vote — but only for choices approved in advance.
They could speak — but only within acceptable narratives.
They were promised opportunity — but locked into lifelong debt.
They were given education — but taught to obey, not to think.
They were told they were individuals — but tracked, tagged, and molded by systems.
They were given rights — but robbed of power.
Freedom became a slogan. Control became the system.
“Independence,” for the Global South was a repackaged neocolonial rule with an independent flag & national anthem. So-called “independent” nations were absorbed into a new web of control:
- International loans replaced colonial taxation.
- Development aid & conditions replaced missionary education.
- Free trade replaced forced trade.
- Foreign companies replaced imperial charters.
- Those who defied were sanctioned !
Colonialism had only changed its clothes.
The Invisible Erasure
In this age, science was no longer a path to truth.
- Indigenous medicine was labeled superstition. Western pharma was made law.
- Native inventions were repackaged as modern inventions & given global prizes.
- Morality was replaced by “metrics.” Ethics by “compliance.”
- Meaning gave way to measurement.
This set the stage for mass surveillance, datafication of life, and psychological control — laying the foundation for the next global rupture.
In Sri Lanka and the Global South
Sri Lanka, like many post-colonial nations, was dragged into this machine. Self-reliant villages were dismantled. Local food systems were replaced by chemical farming and imported goods. Buddhist education was devalued, English idolized. Youth were taught to escape to cities or abroad — not to rebuild their land, but to serve someone else’s dream.
Even independence did not bring freedom. Only new chains.
Where Phase I shattered traditional societies, Phase II dismantled the self.
People were no longer wise. Only skilled.
No longer moral. Just productive.
No longer free. Just managed.
This was not evolution. It was domestication of humanity — spiritual, psychological, and economic.
And it set the stage for the final phase of global control:
Key Takeaways
- Nature:Forests cleared, rivers dammed, lands mined — Earth turned into a resource market.
- Knowledge:Indigenous wisdom suppressed; Western education enforced colonial mindsets.
- Human Life:People reduced to labor units; families fragmented by urban migration and factory work.
- Communities:Self-sufficient villages dismantled; replaced by cash economies and consumer dependency.
- Culture & Morality:Traditional vocations collapsed; religion privatized; ethics replaced by bureaucracy.
- Economy:Barter and sacred currencies replaced by debt-based money, loans, and interest traps.
- Governance:Kings replaced by bureaucratic governments; real power shifted away from people.
- Freedom:Illusion of choice given, but people controlled by laws, surveillance, and economic systems.
Phase III: The Virtual walking machine — When Humans became slaves to machines
The rise of machines once promised progress, but it has brought a new kind of captivity — one where humans are no longer just tools, but controlled subjects under machines that rule their lives.
The Human Worth Crisis
The very meaning of being human is unraveling:
- Children no longer play like children; innocence is lost to screens and digital distractions.
- Adults are seduced into confusion about identity, lured to even question fundamental truths like gender, and pressured to inhabit ambiguous roles — neither male nor female.
- Families crumble as relationships grow fragile; divorce rates soar while the encouragement to have children fades.
- Education is distorted into endless experiments, stifling creativity and true learning.
The Wicked Use of Social Media: The New Puppet Master
Social media promised connection but delivered control. It is the perfect tool for the machines to rewrite human behavior:
- Addiction Engineered: Platforms exploit human psychology to keep users hooked — likes, shares, and endless scrolling feed dopamine loops, turning attention into a commodity.
- Divide and Conquer: Algorithms amplify division, fear, and outrage, fracturing societies into echo chambers and tribal battles.
- Surveillance and Manipulation: Every click, share, and comment is tracked, creating detailed profiles used to influence voting, buying, and beliefs.
- False Identities and Ideologies: Online spaces encourage performance, disguise, and identity confusion — fueling gender ambiguity, social experiments, and ideological extremism.
- Erosion of Truth: Misinformation and disinformation flood feeds, blurring fact and fiction, weakening trust in institutions and in each other.
- Replacing Community: Genuine human relationships are replaced by superficial interactions mediated by screens, weakening empathy and solidarity.
In this new digital cage, social media is the puppet master, shaping minds, emotions, and behaviors — all under the guise of freedom and connection and creating an artificial human being to match the emerging artificial intelligence.
The Consumer Trap and Mental Enslavement
- Consumerism and commercialism have turned people into insatiable seekers — greed, envy, and despair dominate the mind.
- Nothing is ever enough; addictions multiply — to substances, technology, and false promises of happiness.
- Food is no longer nourishment; chemicals saturate every meal, slowly poisoning bodies and minds.
- The entire ecosystem is compromised, polluted by toxins unleashed in the name of “progress.”
Health and Wellbeing: The Hollowing of Man
- Physically, modern humans are weakened by poor nutrition—chemical-laden foods, pollution, and sedentary lifestyles undermine vitality and immunity.
- Mentally, anxiety, depression, and cognitive overload spread widely, fueled by constant digital bombardment and lack of real-world grounding.
- Spiritually, meaning and purpose are displaced by distraction, consumerism, and algorithmic manipulation, leaving pervasive emptiness.
- The holistic health of mind, body, and soul has been sacrificed to the altar of machines and profit.
Machines Rule the Human
- Surveillance technologies and data tracking reduce people to numbers, profiles, and behavior patterns.
- AI and algorithms manipulate thoughts, choices, and social interactions, stripping away autonomy.
- Human relationships are mediated and monitored through virtual platforms, weakening real bonds and empathy.
The Deeper Loss
- Spirituality, morality, and purpose are sidelined as instant gratification and distraction dominate.
- The virtual cage tightens, and the soul is starved even as the body remains enslaved to invisible systems.
The Drain of Human Wealth
- Beyond physical and mental decline, humans have been drained of true wealth — community, heritage, dignity, and autonomy — siphoned off into the digital economy.
- Algorithms and codes harvest attention, behavior, and data, converting human life into currency for unseen powers, deepening control and dependency.
This is the age where man became a walking virtual machine — alive yet hollow, moving yet controlled, connected yet isolated.
Name & Shame: The Architects of Humanity’s Decline
The peaceful, simple, and harmonious life humans once enjoyed—with communities living in balance with animals, plants, and the earth—was deliberately dismantled. The following individuals, groups, and systems must be held accountable for engineering this ongoing civilizational decline:
- Early Imperial Conquerors & Religious Fanatics (Ancient Empires – Medieval Era)
- Empires:Sumerians, Babylonians, Persians, Romans, Mongols
Built vast empires through war, conquest, enslavement, and cultural suppression, imposing domination over humanity’s natural harmony and diverse civilizations. - Religious Authorities:Papacy, Islamic Caliphates, and others
Enforced religious absolutism, forced conversions, destroyed indigenous wisdom, and sanctioned conquest under divine mandates. - Notable Individuals:
- Emperor Constantine (4th century CE):Institutionalized Christianity as political authority, merging faith with imperial control.
- Bakhtiyar Khilji (1193 CE):Destroyed Nalanda University, eradicating centuries of Buddhist knowledge and spiritual heritage.
- European Colonial Powers & Their Agents (15th Century – 20th Century)
- Colonial Nations:Spain, Portugal, Britain, France, Netherlands
Engineered global colonization, uprooting native civilizations, imposing racial hierarchies, and commodifying land and people. - Colonial Administrators, Missionaries, and Traders
Destroyed indigenous governance, education, and culture; replaced them with exploitative cash economies and Western dogma. - Key Figures:
- Queen Elizabeth I, King Leopold II, Cecil Rhodes— orchestrators of imperial expansion and resource plunder.
- Christian missionaries who erased local beliefs and enforced cultural assimilation, a practice continuing in various forms today.
- Industrial Capitalists & Technocrats (18th Century – Present)
- Industrial Revolution Innovators & Business Magnates
Transformed society from sustainable living to relentless extraction and factory labor, reducing humans to cogs and nature to raw materials. - Financial Institutions:Banks, International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank
Imposed debt traps and neoliberal economic policies, stripping nations of sovereignty and destroying true wealth. - Corporate Entities
Promoted consumerism, environmental destruction, and commodification of life for profit. - Notable Names:

- Modern Governments & Bureaucracies (20th Century – Present)
- Nation-States & Multinational Alliances
Perpetuate colonial control through laws, contracts, surveillance, and economic policies maintaining systemic dominance. - Education Systems & Universities
Standardize schooling to produce compliant workers, eroding indigenous knowledge and critical thinking. - Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs)
Often serve as agents of Western soft power, advancing agendas that undermine local sovereignty and culture. - Key Figures:
- Political leaders and bureaucrats who perpetuate neocolonial economic structures and expand surveillance states worldwide.
- Tech Giants & Algorithmic Controllers (21st Century – Present)
- Social Media Platforms & Big Tech Corporations
Exploit human psychology to manufacture addiction, disseminate misinformation, and surveil entire populations. - Artificial Intelligence Developers & Data Brokers
Harvest personal data, influence behavior, and tighten control through invisible digital architectures. - Influencers & Media Moguls
Amplify divisive ideologies, erode genuine community bonds, and commodify identity for profit and control. - Leading Entities:
- Facebook (Meta), Google, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft— controllers of global digital ecosystems.
- Algorithm architects designing tools for manipulation and psychological warfare.
- Cultural Engineers & Ideological Disruptors
- Gender and Identity Movements Exploited by Power Structures

Promote endless desire, distraction, and false values, degrading spirituality, morality, and real human connection. - Key Agents:
- Media producers, advertising executives, and corporate elites pushing hyper-consumerism and moral decay.
- Global elites promoting social experiments that fracture societal unity and foster dependency.
- Food, Pharma & War Complexes: The Hidden Destroyers
- Industrial Agribusiness & Food Corporations
Companies likeMonsanto/Bayer, Nestlé, Cargill control food supply chains, promote chemical farming, processed foods, and monopolize nutrition, harming health and ecosystems. - Big Pharma & Medical-Industrial Complex
Firms includingPfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson, prioritize profit over wellness, suppress indigenous medicine, and shape health policies globally. - Military-Industrial Complex & Intelligence Agencies
Corporations such asLockheed Martin, Raytheon, and agencies like the CIA, MI6, fuel perpetual war, destabilizing nations, and enabling proxy militias and terrorism to maintain control through conflict. - Non-State Armed Groups & Terror Networks
Funded or manipulated by state and private actors, groups likeISIS, Taliban, LTTE, and others perpetuate chaos and geopolitical interests.
The engineered decline of humanity from sacred, balanced civilizations to a hollow, machine-ruled existence is no accident. It is the result of deliberate, layered actions by ancient empires, religious authorities, colonial powers, industrial capitalists, bureaucratic governments, modern technocrats, cultural disruptors, and war profiteers — all working to control land, mind, body, and soul for profit and power.
Holding these actors accountable is essential to reclaiming humanity’s dignity, restoring balance, and envisioning a future beyond domination.
