Screenshots taken from the introductory biography of the book, The New World Order (1940) by H. G Wells
Note: although HG Wells is known as a "science fiction" author, much of his works in his bibliography are not science fiction (eg. The Open Conspiracy, The New World Order, After Democracy, The Future in America etc)

Thus since the advent of man, a new habitat has been opened up to evolving life, a habitat of thought: for this I shall use Teilhard de Chardin’s term, the noosphere, until someone invents something better. This covering of the earth’s sphericity with a thinking envelope, whose components are interacting with a steadily rising intensity, is now generating a powerful psycho-social pressure favouring a solution of least effort, by way of integration in a unitary organisation of ideas and beliefs. But this will not happen automatically: it can only be achieved by a large-scale co-operative exercise of human reason and imagination.
Julian Huxley (via inthenoosphere)

CODE ROOD: mensheid en planeet aarde in gevaar – Marcel Messing
  EEN MANIFEST van Marcel Messing Waarom dit manifest? Dit manifest tracht in het kort een aantal zaken aan het licht te brengen die de bestaande machtselite liever verborgen (Lt. occultus) wil houden, zodat gewone mensen zoals u en ik onwetend zouden blijven van wat er zich werkelijk in de wereld afspeelt. Zonder enige kennis van het occulte kan mijns inziens de wereldgeschiedenis niet doorgrond…

After the war, eugenicists renewed their advocacy of contraception, finding in it the principal instrument for dealing with the population "crisis", including eugenically adverse differential birthrates at home (which Huxley and Osborn both perceived in the comparatively high fertility of groups at the social bottom, particularly the lowest-income blacks in the United States). A number of them – a leading example was Osborn, who organized the Population Council in 1952 – became prominent population-control activists. But although a diversion for eugenic energies, population control, focused as it was on the issue of quantity, addressed only grossly the eugenic interest in improving the human gene pool. That interest remained vital to the reformist outlook.²⁵
25. Osborn expected that the racially differential birthrate would diminish, as it had done among other minority groups, with the sun wider spread of birth control. Huxley, less sanguine about the voluntary responsiveness of the "social problem group", suggested, given how "grave" was the threat, the imposition of birth control upon its members by "compulsory or semi-compulsory" means. Huxley, "Eugenics in Evolutionary Perspective", p. 270; Osborn to Dwight J. Ingle, May 14, 1969, Osborn to Joseph C. Winston, Sept. 14, 1973, American Eugenics Society Papers, box 3, box 4; Linda Gordon, Woman's Body, Woman's Right: A Social History of Birth Control in America (Grossman, 1976), pp. 395-97.

Full Moon Living
Julian Fawkes, thirty-three years old, Private Investigator, is recovering from an accident. Attacked by a vicious dog on a job, he’s just recently gotten out of the hospital and finds himself struggling with some… odd symptoms. And he can’t remember for the life of him what happened last Tuesday night. 
Julian Fawkes: Werewolf, 33 years old, African American. Works as a Private Investigator. A somewhat hapless individual who tends to get in terrible scrapes. He was attacked by a vicious dog around six months ago and has been dealing with the aftermath of that, finding it hard to find work. He’s very shrewd under a thick layer of Patheticness, and crazy good at his job. He’s just had a rough go of it, he’s still paying off his student loans, you can’t expect him to just ACCEPT the possibility of Being A Werewolf Now. Someone buy him a beer and give him a break.
Lucia Fawkes: Human, 38 years old, African American. Julian’s sister. A clever and determined business woman with a very soft spot for her little brother, who she adores. The 24 hour diner she owns, Lucy’s, is her pride and joy, passed down to her from their parents. Her employee’s are like family to her, some of them have been working there as long as the establishment has been running. Lucia is calm and collected in times of crisis, and her demeanor makes it easy for people to trust her. And she is very worthy of that trust.
Alva O'Malley: Vampire, around 200 years old, Irish. Immortals are supposed to be wise, right? Not Alva. Turned in the midst of the Irish Potato Famine, she’s still the same scrappy, traumatized young woman who took a questionable deal because she didn’t want to die. She longs for people she can trust, but she doesn’t vibe with most vampire covens and humans tend to… die. She happened upon Julian completely by accident, realized how pathetic he was, and decided to help him out. Nevermind he’s a werewolf, that’s fine. He doesn’t even know about the Drama, anyway.
Cornelius Attwood: Vampire, age unknown, possibly British. Many names, many lifetimes, there’s no one left alive who remembers who he once was. And he likes it that way. Cornelius considers himself something of a trickster god, going around making deals with desperate, dying humans and manipulating them hopelessly. He probably read Dracula when it first came out and modeled his life after it, just a bit. He loves it when people owe him, and the fact that he’s run into two of his “offspring” in this city is positively delightful to him.
James Huxley: rootin’ tootin’ cowboy monster hunter who moonlights as a FANTASTIC fry cook at Lucy’s. He’s a good guy to know, always down to get in a bar fight for you and enter any situation with guns ablazing. He came to Seattle to hunt down a werewolf, but it’s been a much longer stint than he expected. Especially since the werewolf he’s after seems to KEEP BITING PEOPLE! Please let him go home, soon. He hasn’t seen a horse in a year and it’s really weighing on his psyche. He’s not a city man. At least having a gorgeous, intelligent boss is making his time in the Big City somewhat tolerable.
Andrew Mori: Human, 29 years old, English-Japanese. Andrew is on a mission. The Abbott family, his mother’s family, has been after the life of the same vampire for over 500 years. His Japanese Exorcist father married into the line of hunters, and Andrew’s mother’s mission passed down to her son. Engaged to a fellow hunter, Camille Beaumont, who went missing during a trip to America, so now he’s got two bloodsuckers on his hit list, the one who killed his mother, and the one who killed his fiance. 
Gertrude Delacroix: Human, late twenties(?), French. Getrude doesn’t know her real name, or her past, or how she ended up in an alleyway half dead from a head wound and carrying no form of identification. Actually, she can’t remember anything before she woke up in the hospital. Declared a Jane Doe, no one seems to have come looking for her, either. She’s not too torn up about that. Her current goal is to just get some new form of identification and a job so she can stop sleeping on her friend Julian’s couch, who she met in the trauma ward. 
Polly Flores: Human, 25 years old, Latina. Polly comes from a long line of powerful witches. A long line she has decided to keep hidden in the past, since she’s run away from home to pursue a writing career. Picking up an overnight waitress job at a local diner keeps her bills paid, and it's not that hard keeping her latent powers hidden. If glass tends to shatter when she’s angry, that’s nobody’s business but her own.
Ted Donovan: Vampire, around 100 years old, American. Born and raised on a dairy farm in Southern Georgia, drafted into the Second World War in the 40’s, half killed from a gunshot wound to the gut while evacuating members of the French Resistance, Ted got a second shot at life. He had a sweetheart to go home to, a family waiting for him… but the vampirism complicated things. So did the fact he was declared KIA. Ted’s been spending his afterlife in France, before he finally throws in the towel and decides to return home to America. And promptly runs into the hunter that’s been after him for a while. Well, let’s just forget about that. Ted can totally pull off Normal Guy. Totally. His waiter job at a 24 hour diner just makes things so much easier!

Maybe it's against my better judgment to post these? I haven't touched traditional art in years for lack of space but picked it up over the holidays using my current muses as subjects. Aldous came out the best of the bunch (of course he did 🙄). More Huxleys under the cut.
Wishing you all a brave new year 🎊 ⁉️

By Matthew Ehret
As we move further into the vortex dubbed ‘the Great Reset’, one gets a sense of a creepy cultish mode of speaking among some of the top echelons of imperial thinkers setting the cultural tone for the proceedings which profess to profoundly transform a new epoch in human history. World Economic Forum shining stars like Yuval Harari, Klaus Schwab, and Ray Kurzweil speak giddily about an impending evolutionary shift where human society will become something more than human.
Renowned futurist and lead Google Engineer Ray Kurzweil gave this moment of bifurcation a name: “The Singularity”. In 2005, he described this moment saying: “Our version 1.0 biological bodies are likewise frail and subject to a myriad of failure modes… The Singularity will allow us to transcend these limitations of our biological bodies and brains… The Singularity will represent the culmination of the merger of our biological thinking and existence with our technology, resulting in a world that is still human but that transcends our biological roots. There will be no distinction, post-Singularity, between human and machine or between physical and virtual reality.”
Kurzweil and Harari even predicted the date 2050 to be the magical moment which the new age of human-machine unification will be consolidated, as artificial intelligence, bio-engineering babies with CRISPR technology, and interfacing our brains with microchips in the ‘internet of things’ will finally see the birth of a new species.

In a celebrated 1936 lecture to the British Eugenics Society, Huxley said flatly that a system based on private capitalism and public nationalism was ipso facto dysgenic: it failed to utilize existing reservoirs of valuable genes and it led to the ultimate dysgenics – war. The left mixed its eugenics with the socialist reconstruction of society. "We can't do much practical eugenics," Huxley declared, "until we have more or less equalized the environmental opportunities of all classes and types – and this must be by levelling up."³²
32. Osborn, Preface to Eugenics, pp. 197-98; American Eugenics Society, "A Eugenics Program for the United States" [1938?], pp. 9-12, American Eugenics Society Papers, box 15; J. S. Huxley to Blacker, May 19, 1935; Huxley to Blacker, Sept. 5, 1933, Eugenics Society Records, file C.185; Huxley, "Eugenics and Society", pp. 71-73; Haldane, "Eugenics and Social Reform", in J. B. S. Haldane, Possible Worlds, p. 206; Huxley, "Eugenics and Society", pp. 63, 76, 80-81. To call people on the social bottom genetically unfit, Haldane said, was to make "the appalling assumption that society as at present constituted is perfect." Haldane, "The Possibilities of Human Evolution", in J. B. S. Haldane, The Inequality of Man and Other Essays (Chatto & Windus, 1932), p. 88.
