Civil advancements hold significance only as pertinent to society’s movement from a rural to an urban environment. Or, improvements in medicine, hygiene, and nutrition were required to sustain dense urban populations. However, these items, including proper sanitation, had been in good practice in rural communities for centuries.
In the immediate sense, one must survive. Survival in the modern construct involves acquiring money, for it and the primitive essentials are now linked (come with a price tag affixed). Therefore, those who control money rule over humanity. Virtually unknown, yet influencing human endeavors and motivations.
Alas, hunting/gathering is a primitive occupation. Working for businesses that provide services on demand allows for advances in manufacturing, medicine, transportation, and so on. Modern facilities ease the burden of survival and living (albeit affordability is often in question).
Note that violent behavior and avarice remain certain and free. Altogether, humanity has still not moved beyond animal impulses. The distinction between humans and animals doesn’t seem to exist (after six-thousand years).
The means which one uses to acquire primitive essentials don’t change their inherent composition. It simply points to human faculties allowing for the fashioning of their environment. So, the move is slight. Yet this slight movement occasions people to rejoice. And according to most, society has finally reached the pinnacle (while preserving violence and avarice).
Society’s ardor for entertainment is suggestive of this. However, with murder, robbery, and assault flourishing, one may reasonably conclude there is little time for relaxation. Indeed, there is much work remaining to obtain righteousness. However, eat, drink, and be merry is the zeitgeist of humanity. Thus, leave the monumental task of securing peace and virtue to the same enlightened rulers who first yoked humanity with wage-slavery.
And their secondary conclusion: mass surveillance. The ruling class determines morality and the punishment for transgressors.
America has an estimated 82 million to 85 million installed CCTV and surveillance cameras monitoring streets, highways, and public spaces, driven by a commercial video surveillance market valued at roughly $15.5 billion.
Common CCTV Applications
· Commercial & Government: Protecting assets, monitoring traffic, and managing public safety using networked IP cameras and AI analytics.
· Residential: Utilizing smart wireless setups like doorbell cameras and local NVR kits for home monitoring.
· Mobile & Remote Sites: Deploying solar or trailer-mounted units for temporary construction or event security via providers like WCCTV USA.

Electronic means thus regulate money and monitor the populace. Recall the 2022 Canadian Trucker’s convoy. Disobedience meant a stricture on precious money.
So, rulers harnessed money and now surveillance to regulate the masses (temporal power over life and death). Yet humans still have not transcended the primitive basics. Educated rulers seem willing to maintain the status quo. Withal, the public is content remaining on the simian level, substantiated by the amount of cheap time and precious money given to amusements.
Educated, or literate, means the ruling class would readily admit to the God of the Christian bible, for they know, yet are in opposition. It is the illiterate masses that remain oblivious or on the sidelines. Aristocrats over centuries have held the prospect of Revelation 13:7, 16-17 in view. The astronomical spike in technology during the Industrial Revolution of 1850 has brought fulfillment (what the mind can conceive, the body can achieve). Post WWII we see the formation of predominate entities designating the titles united, international, world.
The 2022 Canadian Trucker’s convoy was evidence of how far along we are in this progression. Without submitting to a medical injection of genetic material, you won’t be able to buy or sell. A message to all and sundry.
