Brzezinski understood the decline of nation states was a necessity for advancing a global order where the private banking cabal and transnational corporations assumed political dominance. In his book Between Two Ages: America's Role in the Technetronic Era, Brzezinski stated that:

The nation state as a fundamental unit of man's organized life has ceased to be the principal creative force: International banks and multinational corporations are acting and planning in terms that are far in advance of the political concepts of the nation-state."

Technocracy Inc. was one of the early movements campaigning for centralized control at the expense of democracy. Though their initial aim was to transform the North American continent into a scientific dictatorship, the Rockefeller clan pushed these ideas globally. Working through their vast, interwoven network of corporate, academic, political, and philanthropic institutions, they advanced the globalist mindset with the United Nations (UN), often energizing the ideas and formulating the strategies. More on the UN's role will be discussed later.

While their agenda grew popular with elites of all stripes, they needed a way to sell the scheme to the masses and accelerate the groundswell for sweeping worldwide changes. Like the original technocrats, they sought a bloodless revolution and used fear and chicanery to usurp power.

Technocracy Inc. used the stock market crash of 1929 and resulting Great Depression to recruit those fearing total economic collapse into their camp.

Technocracy… is being hailed as a solution to an economic condition which now threatens to disrupt our economic civilization… figures indicate that unless a vast change is made in the political and economic system of this country, we may soon face a collapse of our present social structure, the downfall of currency, and utter chaos."
– The Technocrats' Magazine, 1933

Decades later, the Rockefeller cabal turned to environmentalism and the threat of planetary destruction to enlist zealots fearing complete societal collapse. In the 1969 Rockefeller Foundation report, they boldly announced their claim, stating that:

Man is now degrading his environment at a terrifying rate. The cumulative effects of advancing technology, massive industrialization, urban concentration, and population growth have all combined …not only to create imminent danger to the quality of human Iife, but even to pose threats to life itself." p.5
