I believe you are unfortunately 100% correct. The plan was outlined for us much earlier in the Orwellian tragedy 1984 and in Huxley's Brave new World.
With your breadth and depth of research and esoteric understanding, you are updating the download for us right here and now with every bit as much power and authority.
I think the plan was paused briefly after the two world wars because of the unifying cameraderie in the trenches and at home when people, more than ever shared ideas and raised their expectations for a better and fairer post war peace in return for such sacrifice. The stark reality of the potential of nuclear weapons too and its impact on our planet and beyond played its own part on a 'stepping back' to let things settle, as it were.
The elites did not wish to antagonise unnecessarily a trained fighting force returning from war for a second time and making clear through their voting power that they would not tolerate another economic depression as experienced in the 20s and 30s. So the Orwellian nightmare was put on hold whilst plans to lull the population into a false sense of security were put in place. Ordinary people's lives (at least in the west) materially improved with the introduction of 'welfare states' to eliminate: squalor, disease, ignorance, idleness and poverty.
In the UK at least, post war propaganda films portrayed the new public service workers as heroes in peacetime uniforms, nurses, railwaymen, postmen etc. Working conditions improved, the trade unions were encouraged and the whole post-war 'feel good factor' lasted and 'distracted' until the mid 60s by which time, most vestiges of empire had given way to the independence movements across the colonised world and music became the 'opiate' of the post-war generation.
By now too and behind the scenes the Bilderberg meetings and the coal, steel and pharmaceutical industries had hatched the way forward into the New World Order. The military industrial complex continued to siphon secretly, public funds into black budgets and with the assistance of nazi scientists, rescued by 'operation paperclip', devised weaponry and technologies, most of which are still secret and only hinted at in deliberately released movies.
The secrecy within which these elites operated allowed an unsuspecting public to be duped and dumbed down in exacty the ways you have outlined.
Sorry to leave such a long post, but I thought it worth trying to convey why some in my generation were fooled into believing that the world was changing for the better and became less attentive, thus letting their guard down and simmering like the proverbial boiling frogs.
You are documenting the future as planned for a very long time. Have we any way to change it? I think we do, but time is tight and we must reach enough people to create a 'tipping point'.
Thank you my friend for you care, compassion and extraordinary eloquence. You are fulfilling whatever task you set for yourself with spectacular sensitivity.
