“A combination of what you might imagine a mass Alcoholics Anonymous kind of meeting combined with Burning Man” is how one participant described the cultural vibe at the most recent Independent National Convention in Denver, Colorado (INC24).
He observed that some participants were dressed like “Crypto bro” Brock Pierce, many of the speakers lined up to do ecumenical benedictions throughout the convention proceedings were leaders in the New Age self-help movement, and that there was an overall noticeable “spiritual “overlay to the entire event.
This was not just any “spiritual overlay,” though.
Many of the speakers are part of a very influential cult called the Evolutionary Leaders. In fact, Christopher Life, who organized the INC24 event (and INC23 before that), is a member and was also a protégé (Figure 1) of the cult’s co-founder – the spiritual eugenicist and “mother of transhumanism,” Barbara Marx Hubbard.
In an early unpublished manuscript (Figure 2), which was her inspired (channeled), retelling of the biblical book of Revelation, Hubbard suggests that in order for mankind to consciously evolve into a new transhuman species, “one-fourth” of the population which are “defective seeds,” must “be eliminated from the social body” by “the riders of the pale horse” during a Quantum Shift.

Hubbard’s followers claim that her position on this crude interpretation of evolution had itself “evolved” over the years. Even so, John Klyczek points out in his recent article how her Malthusian vision toward conscious transhuman evolution was not only, either “fortuitously or strategically,” connected to national intelligence groups through New Age sex cults, but how her evolutionary faith’s values are “commensurate with transhumanism and sustainable development, which are the crux of emerging global technocracy of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR).”
Why is this relevant?
The Independent Movement’s conventions, facilitated by her direct disciple Christopher Life, are hyping up the very technologies and policies that will help usher in the 4IR and its goal of fusing the physical, digital, and biological spheres. These are technologies that, in the wrong hands, could create a new reality in which humans could actually be forced to adhere to Hubbard’s theological worldview of the cosmic “Oneness” of everything and the imperative to sacrifice for the “well-being of all,” as a condition of being allowed to participate in society altogether.
In addition, there was a reason the participant at the INC noticed that so many people at the conference were emulating Brock Pierce. Pierce, the child-star-turned-crypto-bro, is heavily involved with the Independent Movement (he ran for president as an Independent in 2020 and for state senator for Vermont in 2022) and has been working with Christopher Life as a co-founder of the Independent National Conventions. They’ve also formed a coalition (United Independents) within the Independent Movement to pool resources and create consensus around issues and candidates. Many people recognize Brock Pierce from the Mighty Ducks movie, and maybe his questionable association with Marc Collins-Rector and the Digital Entertainment Network sex-ring scandal. What they don’t know is that Pierce was also Jeffrey Epstein’s cryptocurrency advisor. Epstein was extremely interested in scientific research that had to do with evolution and genetic engineering and invited Pierce to join him and others on Little St. James island for his evolutionary Mindshift Conference in 2011. Considering also Epstein’s involvement in helping to start the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics at Harvard, it would not be far-fetched to question if there are perhaps other spiritual and evolutionary motives behind both the infamous sex-trafficking ring, as well as this sudden and intentional push for third party politics that accelerate the technologies of the 4IR.
Two of Epstein victims, Virginia Giuffre in her dead man switch recording and Juliette Rose Bryant have alleged that there were genetic “experiments” going on at both his private Virgin Island and Zorro Ranch in New Mexico. These claims have not been verified, but it was reported by The New York Times that at least four people familiar with Epstein’s thinking confirmed that “he hoped to seed the human race with his DNA by impregnating women [i.e. a baby farm] at his vast New Mexico ranch.” He surrounded himself with scientists like George Church who was working “to identify genes that could be altered to create superior humans” and gave large sums of money to support the World Transhumanist Association. The article goes on to say that, “Mr. Epstein’s vision reflected his longstanding fascination with what has become known as transhumanism: the science of improving the human population through technologies like genetic engineering and artificial intelligence (AI). Critics have likened transhumanism to a modern-day version of eugenics, the discredited field of improving the human race through controlled breeding.”
Similar to Epstein, Barbara Marx Hubbard felt the goal of technological advancement was to bring about the birth of a “new human” – Homo-Amore-Universalis. Her emphasis, however, was not socially engineering the body as much as the mind; that technology could be used to help humanity attain a stage of global consciousness where they would realize their role as “natural Christs” and literally have powers like God. She felt those who did not root out their selfishness – people who valued their rights more than the squashing of them to achieve the equitable (not equal) redistribution of resources to the rest of the world – were akin to a cancerous cell. If people who thought this way were allowed to inherit “the powers of the Creator” granted to them through transhumanism, Hubbard believed that they would eventually destroy the “body” (the Earth, everything in it, and the evolution of the human race), if left unchecked. In her book Happy Birthday, Planet Earth (Figure 3), she wrote: “to allow self-centered humans to enter the next stage of evolution would be like giving a two-year-old child the powers of a psychic surgeon, a genetic engineer, and a Chief of Staff of the nuclear forces of the world!…If one person in a state of selfishness were to inherit the power of a natural Christ, he could destroy the universe. This cannot be. This will not be…In such circumstances, only the good can evolve.”

How would one make sure that only the “good” can evolve? Moreover, who or what defines “good”?
A system would have to be created to track “selfish” people and force them to comply, either through coercion (“nudging”) or force, and to leave them no other option to participate in society without plugging themselves into that system.
Ushering in a Technocracy Governed by a Central Digital Authority
Many of the speakers and topics at the Independent National Conventions were geared toward creating that kind of system, where all aspects of life, including elections, are turned into blockchained-bytes of data that can be accessed through a digital identity stored on a digital wallet.
Users can verify the identity attached to the wallet with a passkey known only to them, but that industry is quickly moving toward using biometrics like facial or eye recognition or eventually microchips inserted underneath the skin. It’s true that technologies like these might make regular activities like voting (which they say could then be done through a mobile device from anywhere) or buying something at the store more convenient. Unfortunately, what most people don’t realize is that the rules for these supposed “decentralized” systems of the future would have to be decided upon by a centralized authority. The claim that these technologies grant users ownership and control over their own data (choosing who has access and under what conditions) are not guaranteed. The digital system set up by a centralized authority could require them to provide it at every turn, much like the “choice” of accepting the terms and conditions of data collection when using a mobile device if one wants to have it at all.
In China, such a connected digital ecosphere already exists, and the centralized authority is the Communist state. Surveillance cameras placed around Chinese cities use facial recognition, and citizens’ phones act as a digital wallet, which holds their identity and everything about them (Figure 5). This includes personal finances, health information, education (competencies), personal contacts and relationships, etc, and the data is decentralized and interoperable (able to “talk”/share data to other systems within their society). The entire system, which determines what goods and services an individual can have access to, is based on a social credit score, a number given to the individual based on the State’s assessment of how “trustworthy” and “compliant” the citizen is.
A day in the life of a citizen attached to this system looks something like this. If your digital identity has a low social credit score, for instance, you will be denied access to vending machines to get drinks. If you are not up to date on your vaccines suggested by the State, or if you attend a protest against the State, the health code attached to your identity can be turned “red,” blocking you from accessing transportation and/or markets to buy goods.
Synergistic Democracy
Hubbard and her Evolutionary Leaders are trying to implement a similar digitally-connected economic model called a “synergistic democracy,” which she admitted in this interview is just a nicer name for socialism. Before she died in 2019, Hubbard was “working with some young tech guys” on building a technological version of the in-person SYNCONs she’d hosted since the 1970s to demonstrate how her vision of a resource-based economy would work. In these guided sessions, there was a very large wheel divided into the various sectors of society on the floor, and different people would stand in the section that they represented and figure out how to link up needs with resources. For instance, someone in the environment section might say, “I have a need for coverage of this protest I’m putting on,” and someone else in the media section could say “I can help you with that.”
Hubbard had found some technology-gifted cult members from her Synergy Hub in Rotterdam, England, to build a digital form of a SYNCON called Noomap (now S7), based on the Jesuit priest Pierre Teilhard de Chardin’s idea of a Noosphere or “global brain.” Their idea is to replace government and capitalism with a “well-being,” or “resource-based” economy, an economy in which all needs and resources could be turned into data that could be digitally exchanged like currency instead of money. The central digital authority in this decentralized system would be a “synergy engine” (AI) that could view the needs and resources as pieces of a puzzle and match them up like supply and demand in a capitalist economy, essentially creating an operating system to replace money altogether.
Will Elon Musk’s America Party be any better?
On July 5th, Elon Musk created the America Party over a difference of opinion with President Trump on the Big Beautiful Bill, citing his displeasure over pushing the large spending bill through after his team at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) worked hard to cut fraud, waste, and abuse of taxpayer money by government agencies. Musk claims his new party will focus on reducing national debt, something he says the two main political parties aren’t serious about. He even threatened to primary any Republicans (but hasn’t said he would target Democrats) who said they support cutting government spending yet voted for the bill.
While it’s justified for many conservatives to agree with Musk in his outrage over increasing the national debt through the spending bill or what they feel is a lack of disclosures about the Epstein case, it’s also important to ask what additional political policies Musk might support through his America party. Is he on board with accelerating technologies that will bring about the “brave new world” of transhumanism and the 4th Industrial Revolution? Judging from his company, Neuralink, which advocates for brain-implantable interfaces, and his 2023 post regarding his social media platform X evolving to “be the collective consciousness of humanity, or, more accurately, the human-machine collective,” (which has now been conveniently merged with xAI), as well as his stated desire to make X the “everything app,” similar to the Chinese “WeChat” – it’s safe to say, yes he is.
Third Party Trap
Conservatives who feel like jumping ship to register as Independent would be wise to reconsider, as this agenda of leveraging reactionary impulses caused by making both sides of the political aisle look very bad is an planned operation being run by various groups that is extremely coordinated and not organic whatsoever. Its purpose is to create chaos to drive both the “left” and “right” to the radical center where “synergistic democracy” (a.k.a. digital slavery) will be the solution, the synthesis.
If creating his own political party proves too difficult for Musk, he could still use his America PAC, to which he can send unlimited funds, to bankroll whatever independent candidate and agendas the Independent Movement decides upon. Currently, that movement is being lead by followers of spiritual eugenicists like Barbara Marx Hubbard and transhumanists who are actively trying to play God by engineering the evolution of the minds and bodies of the human species. Do not consent and do not fall for this third party trap! The future of the country and the ability to think your own thoughts assert your individual rights depends on it.
