Why should we listen to any of the words of a man named Alvin Toffler? Born in 1928
this 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 planks
have 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 that
he 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 not
independent 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 useful
in 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 into
yesterdays 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 greatest
perils. 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 are
being 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 for
organizing 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. He explains 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 creating the new civilization. (p. 8) Make no
mistake, 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. A
new 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 new
economy, new political conflicts altered consciousness well.
Speaking from the 1960s, The dawn of this new civilization [is the] key to
understanding 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 affects
everyone.
[Zbigniew] Brzezinski has told us we face a technotronic age superindustrial
society 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 radically
changed 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, not
freedom or Constitutional.
This group really believes that they are doing something benevolent. With some
intelligent help from us turns out to be the first truly humane civilization in recorded
history.
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 inevitably destined 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 cumulative that they add up to a
giant 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 our
Constitutional Republic is that we need to influence this world for the better or the
enemies of freedom will have more control every passing day.
After World War II [the] Third Wave began to surge across the earth. After about
1955 white collar and service workers outnumber blue collar workers for the first
time. 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 civilization
coming wave after wave.
Prominent 33rd Degree Freemason Albert Pike wrote in his book Morals and Dogma said
his 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.
