Huxley's Brave New World of 2001
by Berit Kjos
"We have arrived at that brave new world that seemed so distant in 1932 when Aldous Huxley wrote about human beings created in test tubes in what he called a hatchery. In recent weeks, we learned that scientist have created human embryos in test tubes solely to experiment on them. This is deeply troubling...."[1] President George W. Bush, August 9, 2001

Eighteen-year-old Rosemary Goldworthy had "eagerly awaited" the birth of her twins. But she would never hold them in her arms. When they were 22 weeks old, she began to hemorrhage and was taken to a hospital where the tiny girls were born. The babies - one dead and one living -- were put in plastic bags and left next to the heart-broken mother.
"The
firstborn was alive. She kicked and cried, but the nurse stuffed her in
a plastic bag and knotted it. Rosie saw the baby's leg kicking through the
plastic bag,” said the grieving grandfather, Jack Goldsworthy. "The
second baby was stillborn and also placed in a plastic bag.... They were
her first children, and they left the two bodies right in front of her eyes
for her to see." [2]

Shocking? Perhaps not to young people raised on today's media
diet of sex, violence and propaganda for radical population reduction and
animal rights. Though this incident happened in Johannesburg, South Africa,
last June, it brings a sober reminder of America's growing indifference
to traditional values and to the inherent worth of human life. Such changes
in views and values bring devastating consequences. Deut 8:10-20

Signs of the times
In Old Testament days, God would withdraw His loving care and protection
from Israel when the people rejected His truths and "walked in the
counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart." (Jeremiah 7:24)
Left to their own resources, they often faced plagues ("serious and
prolonged sicknesses"), drought, famine and wars -- sometimes locusts
-- all of which would increase in end times. See America's
Spiritual Slide
...when you have eaten and are full, and have built beautiful houses and
dwell in them... your heart is lifted up and you forget the Lord your God.
... you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have
gained me this wealth.’
"...if you by any means forget the Lord your God, and follow other gods... you shall surely perish. As the nations which the Lord destroys before you, so you shall perish, because you would not be obedient to the voice of the Lord your God."
Deuteronomy 8:10-20
Read 1 Corinthians 10:1-13 and see how this prophecy, given to the nation Israel, applies also to other nations blessed by God. Then read Preparing for Victory and delight in His protection for those who love and follow Jesus.

Cloning and embryonic stem cell research speed this cultural slide. To justify the use of human lives as disposable guinea pigs in the name of life-saving research, our nation must shift its foundations from moral absolutes to cultural relativism and ignore the alternatives shown in articles such as "Adult Stem Cells More Effective Than Those From Aborted Babies." With help from today's liberal media," it doesn't take long to win the public's consent to deplorable practices.
In fact, we are facing a world where international leaders view "human resources" -- called "human capital" by the World Bank -- as products that must be developed, managed, monitored and measured -- from cradle to grave -- for their continual worth to the global village. Each community must also be assessed and its "social capital" monitored. The latter refers to its worth based on the compliance of its people and the absence of dissent or conflict. Federal incentives and disincentives are then used to conform the community to national and international standards. But globalist leaders won't mention these offensive facts.
Instead
they want us to envision a world without war -- a global village where young
and old would welcome the United Nations' global ethic, live by its Earth
Charter, and consent to what Al
Gore called "a wrenching transformation of society."[3]

his new world would encourage sexual license but use swift reprisal to quench dissent and resistance. It would mandate group consensus and community service, but its "peace and unity" would abolish all the rights and freedoms Americans take for granted.
Aldous Huxley outlined this vision well in his 1932 fantasy, Brave New World. Most of its points are fast becoming reality:
1. Embryos are cloned to meet the needs of the global workforce and community.
2. Children are raised only to the level of literacy needed for their specific work. [New "Literacy" for a New World]
3. The masses are socialized for a collective society and the global workforce. [Molding Human Resources]

returned... with eight-month old babies, all exactly alike and all dressed
in khaki. "Put them on the floor." The infants were unloaded.... "Now turn them so they can see the flowers and books." ... The babies ... began to crawl towards those clusters of sleek colors..... From the ranks of the crawling babies came little squeals of excitement, gurgles and twittering of pleasure.... The swiftest crawlers were already at their goal. Small hands reached out uncertainly, touched, grasped... crumbling the illuminated pages of the books. The director waited until all were happily busy, then... he gave the signal. There was a violent explosion. Shriller and ever shriller, a siren shrieked. Alarm bells maddeningly sounded. The children startled, screamed; their faces were distorted with terror. "And now," the Director shouted, "now we proceed to rub in the lesson with a mild electric shock." ... The Nurse pressed a second lever. The screaming of the babies suddenly changed its tone. There was something desperate, almost insane, about the sharp spasmodic yelps... Their little bodies twitched and stiffened. "Offer them the flowers and the books again." The nurses obeyed, but... the infants shrank away in horror.... Books and loud noises, flowers and electric shocks--already in the infant mind these couples were compromisingly linked; and after two hundred repetitions of the same or similar lessons would be wedded indissolubly. What man has joined, nature is powerless to put asunder. "They'll
grow up with what the psychologist used to call an 'instinctive' hatred
of books and flowers. Reflexes unalterably conditioned. They'll
be safe from books and botany all their lives."[4]

4. Group thinking has replaced individual views. [Brainwashing in America]
5. Communal "feelies" or sensory experiences are encouraged. [A New Way of Thinking]
6. Disturbing or contrary feelings must be controlled with calming drugs. [Psychiatric Drugs]
7. Casual sex is obligatory (see chart ) and mandatory pills prevent pregnancy. [Sex Ed and Global Values]
8. The State controls of all land and provides managed vacations to selected places. [World Heritage 'Protection']
9. People are kept too busy with work and trivia to think or complain. [Mainstream Media]
10. All must participate in mystical group rituals invoking a universal god. [Solidarity]
11. Peer pressure and constant surveillance ensure compliance. [Using Teen Violence to Justify Control]
| "The love of servitude cannot be established except as the result of a deep, personal revolution in human minds and bodies. To bring about that revolution we require, among others, the following discoveries and inventions. First, a greatly improved technique of suggestion through infant conditioning.... "Second, a fully developed science of human differences, enabling government managers to assign any given individual to his or her proper place in the social and economic hierarchy (Round pegs in square holes tend to have dangerous thoughts about the social system and to infect others with their discontents.) "Third, a substitute for alcohol... more pleasure-giving than gin or heroin. "Fourth...
a foolproof system of eugenics, designed to standardize the human
product and so to facilitate the task of the managers."[5] Brave

The similarities between our world and Huxley's vision shouldn't surprise us. Aldous' brother, Julian Huxley, became the first Secretary-General of UNESCO. Promoting the same socialist and humanist values as education pioneer John Dewey, he brought his brother's vision into the United Nations and helped lay the foundations for today's global management system. Through the World Heritage Convention and other treaties and declarations, it would oversee the world's scenic places and help standardize human resource development around the world.
Our
current education system is little more than the American branch of what
UNESCO, in 1973, called a "continuous
integrated process" of "lifelong learning."[6]

Its outrageous psycho-social experiments were designed to indoctrinate our children with beliefs, values and thinking processes that replace Biblical faith and factual thinking. Today, the tragic cultural consequences are used to justify more of the same.
Resistance is costly. A girl who refuses to endorse the gay lifestyle is labeled homophobic. A boy who appreciates traditional gender roles will score low in the new affective (feeling-based) school assessments. A man who refuses to participate in sensitivity training is fired. They simply don't measure up to the new standard for tolerance.
Some churches are faithful and courageous enough to take a stand and speak God's truth. But, as in Nazi Germany, much of the church is bending over backwards to avoid offense, meet the "felt needs" of their potential members and partner with the world's new managers. Many turn a blind eye as their children follow peers into the new paradigm where bad is good and good matches the global vision.
Dewey, the Huxley brothers and their utopian followers might have been pleased with the world's "progress" toward their envisioned end. But they didn't understand human nature. In their arrogant pursuit of a better world, they ignored the lessons of history and mocked the Bible as a moral compass. The result is a world gone wild with lust, lies and life-degrading experimentation.
God
shows us that true peace and unity come through Christ alone, not through
genetic manipulation, psycho-social indoctrination or behavior modification.
"These things I have spoken to you that in Me you may have peace,"
said Jesus after giving his disciples some sobering glimpses of future trials.
"In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have
overcome the world." John 16:33
