The Metaverse is coming…It just needed 5G’
Welcome to the ‘metaverse’: A strange new world where the same billionaire globalist elites who destroyed the lives of millions using a pandemic as their main battering ram, will now try to entice them into a fake utopia created by AI and computer algorithms.
Facebook announced this week it is changing its name to “Meta” and while that might sound like just another corporate rebranding worthy of a yawn, it’s anything but, says Patrick Wood, an expert on technocracy and transhumanism.
The name change is central to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerburg’s plans to push an agenda that entices Facebook’s one billion users into a new transhumanist reality, says Wood, editor-in-chief of Technocracy News and Trends and author of several books on the topic.
Wood appeared in an Oct. 28 interview with Brannon Howse and lifted the veil on a mysterious new world called the “metaverse,” which will soon take over the internet — and the lives of many unsuspecting techno thrill seekers.
“It’s just kind of unfolding now,” he said. “There’s not been much discussion of it until now outside of the gaming community.”
Facebook is far from the only player in the metaverse. Many hope to cash in on it.
Cell-service provider Verizon, in a press release touting its plans to be a player in this arena, says “The metaverse is coming. It just needed 5G.”
“The kind of digital worlds that we’ve only seen in sci-fi films or in a VR experience snippet — it’s called the Metaverse, and the technology has finally arrived to make it more than an idea,” Verizon states in the release accompanied by the futuristic image below.
Verizon provides the following caption describing the image:
“We’ve caught glimpses of Hollywood’s version of the Metaverse — a heroine walking down a busy street with digital ads swirling in the air while CGI villains lurk in shadows. In real life it could be you, sitting at home, using a watch or glasses to turn your living room into a virtual version of our actual world. Or you could choose to create a fantasy world, putting yourself in a world like something straight out of an anime movie.”
For those unfamiliar, fast-evolving technological advances have gone beyond what is known as “virtual reality,” into what the tech world calls “enhanced reality.”
To get a taste of what it will be like, Wood recommends the 2018 movie Ready Player One.
“It’s a science-fiction movie where a guy puts on these goggles, he lives in a dystopian world, and all of a sudden he’s immersed into this new world,” Wood explained. “And it’s an artificial world but he can travel through it, do things, hug people, love people, shoot guns, do all that kind of stuff in this virtual world.
“A lot of people are likening the metaverse to that movie.”
Big Tech and billionaire globalist elites like Zuckerburg believe they can make your reality better than the actual reality of living in the gloomy “new normal” created by the same elites in the form of the Great Reset.
“Mark Zuckerburg is leading the pack right now. He’s not the only one; there are other companies that are deeply invested in this already,” Wood said. “But Zuckerburg is doubling down, tripling down, quadrupling down, to make the metaverse his thing for the future. He’s going to completely transform Facebook into a metaverse product.”
This is where it’s going to start getting bizarre: A land of make-believe where users will be able to “check out” of their current reality, or mix and match parts of their actual reality with a new reality of their own making.
Creating a new online identity
“This is a stepping stone straight into the transhumanist meme, where people can live in an artificial world where they can interact just as easily as they can in the real world,” Wood said. “I know that just sounds incredible, but they’re talking about you creating an avatar for yourself that will be your online avatar. It will look like you, talk like you, and you will be able to go from one virtual reality to another. And you will recognize one another in these different realities.”
It’s a blurring of the lines between your physical and your online identity.
Klaus Schwab anticipated this when he described in his 2017 book, The Fourth Industrial Revolution, a new digital economy that would fuel what he calls a fourth industrial revolution and a global reset.
Schwab said “The Fourth Industrial Revolution will lead to a fusing of our physical, digital and biological identities,” which in his book he clarifies is heading toward implantable microchips that can read your thoughts.
These advances in technology, Schwab writes, are “even challenging ideas about what it means to be human.”
“They’re creating a new reality. It sounds weird but…” Wood said, pausing for the right words.
“As some have said, reality is the metaverse, the metaverse is reality. They’re the same thing. It’s just what location do you decide to spend your time in at the moment?”
People will also have the ability to spend digital money in the metaverse.
“They’re saying you could order a pizza in the metaverse and have it delivered physically to your house, or you could turn that around… it’s really crazy,” Wood said.
Zuckerburg touts a new high-end virtual reality headset, codenamed Cambria, which is designed for Facebook’s metaverse. Facebook teased the device at its Connect conference on Oct. 28, and plans to release it to market sometime next year.
According to an article in TechCrunch:
“Cambria will include capabilities that currently aren’t possible on other VR headsets. New sensors in the device will allow your virtual avatar to maintain eye contact and reflect your facial expressions. The company says that’s something that will allow people you’re interacting with virtually to get a better sense of how you’re feeling. Another focus of the headset will be mixed-reality experiences. With the help of new sensors and reconstruction algorithms, Facebook claims Cambria will have the capability to represent objects in the physical world with a sense of depth and perspective.”
Could this be why Facebook has for several years been using facial recognition software to collect data on its users?
Own nothing and be happy?
Part of the Great Reset involves the masses being enticed into a place where they will “own nothing and be happy.”
“And then you have the universal basic income where people will be getting a government check and sitting home doing nothing,” Howse noted.
Well, now they will be able to use that exponential increase in free time to engage in this new false reality.
Developers foresee the metaverse as the place where all forms of entertainment and media eventually converge. The masses will eat this up.
Imagine how popular it will be to be able to watch the World Series from your living room couch and feel as though you are actually there, at the stadium in Atlanta, watching the Braves vs. the Astros.
“They also believe it’s where online social groups will congregate,” Wood said.
Facebook will drive its more than 1 billion users into this new reality.
“The problem comes in when you won’t be able to distinguish between your reality and their reality,” Wood said.
A gateway to transhumanism?
Wood described the metaverse as a “gateway into transhumanism,” which is the elites’ plan to create humanity 2.0, which they consider to be a “more perfect human,” They will accomplish that, they believe, by merging man with machine and connecting him to the metaverse.
And at some point you won’t have to wear goggles or glasses. A device will be implanted in the brain – this is exactly where some influential globalists like Klaus Schwab believe the metaverse is ultimately heading.
“They now believe they can download someone’s life experience, whether it’s their soul or brain, wherever they can get enough data, load it into the metaverse where they can generate a person in the metaverse that will act independently of anybody outside the metaverse as if it were that person,” Wood explained.
Resurrecting the dead?
Wood said tech pioneer and futurist Ray Kurzweil “may well be able to achieve his dream of resurrecting his father, by taking all that information, creating an avatar for his father. His father can now act and interact and respond with people, inside the metaverse. He will never get out. But inside the metaverse he can be ‘alive’.”
Howse noted that this technology will also be adopted and used for evil by the porn industry as it further dehumanizes and perverts human sexuality.
“Oh yes,” Wood said. “There will be no limits. Do anything. If it feels good, go ahead and do it.”
“If you’re not working and you’re sitting at home getting a check, what are you going to do all day?” Howse said. “You will go anywhere around the world exploring and feeling as if you are really there.”
You could visit any city in the world, go to a concert, a sports event, or meet up with distant friends at these virtual locations.
“And you feel as if you’re actually in the concert with the living star or even a dead star of the past,” Howse said.
You could also do a blended reality, where parts of your living environment are there but someone from another country comes and visits you, Wood explained.
In fact, some metaverse junkies are already co-opting the idea into their ideas about time travel and astral projection and contacting other realms.
Others are talking about developing “multiple identities.”
Consider this description of the metaverse’s potential from a group calling itself MUA or Metaverse Astral:
Metaverse の Astral Through the fusion of virtual reality, artificial intelligence, blockchain and Startlink. On the one hand, let people get the ticket to the new world, everyone to participate in the construction, become the creator, open up their own ideal
world. On the other hand, it helps people to explore multiple
identities and seek the isolation, integration and optimization of
each identity, so as to maximize the meaning of life for people.
Howse said it’s easy to see how a future antichrist, as described in the book of Revelation, could use this technology to promote himself.
“It says he will set up an image of himself in the temple of God and speak words of blasphemy against the one true God,” Howse said.
“Yes, people should keep their eye on Facebook and the gaming companies,” Wood said. “It’s going to be huge. And trust me, there will be billions and billions poured into this technology over the next five years.”

What a complete crock of shit. Virtual work would be completely fake. Your broken down wash machine would still not work. People need to grow up.
I think the concept would be that one would not own a washing machine. A service would come get their laundry and do it for them. Everything will be done for them. People will be glued to a digital reality where they carry out their lives. In the physical reality ,they sit inside a small apartment on the 50th floor, eat processed foods made from insects, use only a certain amount of electricity to get them onto the grid, and otherwise own nothing and be happy.
Believe me it is far from fake, we are already there in some ways. Look at the youth they are glued to their phones constantly. They cannot live without them. Their concept of reality is mainly virtual.
It’s all a lie. Who’s going to slaving for the elites, and bringing your laundry, and who’s going to be sitting at home. After the elite are done using the universal basic income to nix the economy and the middle class, do you really think that they’re going to pay people to sit around and live in a video game. I don’t think so.
Who is going to slave for the elites? Perhaps the same people that went out and got the jab, as demanded by the elites. Or the billion plus Facebook users who aren’t afraid to share their personal information and photos of their cat. And yes the universal basic income is the start to keep people home and bored, hence their desire to want to embrace the virtual world. I would not consider it a video game, but a virtual reality where they will live their lives with all of the luxurious they have been refused in the real world.
I am not saying it is going to happen I am simply saying it could happen. The tech is almost there and the complicity of people is at the point where it can be implemented very easily.
ALL the BS had the door slammed in its face yesterday. When Seattle elects a Republican Mayor with 64% of the vote along with the rest of the nationwide massacre of the Progs, you have a sea change.
It was hopeful to see all the results last night. Several school boards I follow in a blue state flipped out of the radicals’ hands. I can’t believe it, really. It’s a good sign that many are waking up an not accepting all the BS.
Better late than never, I suppose. Although, it’s still a stretch for me to put any faith in the system.
That is good. Local politics is the only place people even stand a chance, but even still candidates need to be watched like hawks.
There is a point in every life cycle (living or inanimate) that the remains just need to be torn down and recycled.
The epsilons of course.
“Who’s going to slaving for the elites…” The ones living in their virtual world will be performing “brain surgery, building aircraft, plumbing a house”…but in reality they will be scrubbing the skid-marks out of the skivvies of the ruling class.
Sort of like the feelies in Brave New World..go in for your sim time and take your soma… you’ll own nothing and be happy 😊
This shit sounds more like the “Half Life” of Philip K Dick’s novel Ubik. And given that “Meta” means death in Hebrew, and that Deep State front man Mark Zuckerberg is a jew, and that the Deep State is now infiltrated and controlled by (((you know who))), this rebranding is likely no coincidence as (((somebody))) associated with it would have noticed.
It’s almost as bad as the Japanese company Fukushima Industries Corporation, in an attempt at international rebranding after the nuclear disaster, adopting the character Fukuppy as its corporate mascot.
I wonder if gunpowder will still have that distinct smell in Virtual Reality? Sorry Zuck. You will never be able to allow people to actually respawn no matter how rich you and your sick cronies become. The total collapse of society, which will be ACTUAL REALITY, will have you spending the rest of your life in an underground bunker where you can cuddle with your worthless piles of money for the rest of your miserable life.
Welcome to YOUR future REALITY Zuck.
The bible doesn’t discuss a bunch of fairy tale bullshit dogma that most Christians think is actually contained in their religion. It does talk about the death of the soul a lot, though. It does talk about how that can happen while still alive in the flesh. Like this Zuckerberg demon.
Schwab writes “even challenging ideas about what I means to be human.” Traditionally man consists of body, soul and spirit. So the new and coming transhumans will believe themselves to be just body and meta. But when their bodies die (as they surely will) unless they fictionalize a new present and future their new meta self will be frozen in time like an old cartoon character archived in digital form for people to LAUGH at. Hasten the day for Schwab,Zuckerberg and any other Meta slavemaster.
The Luciferians have been convincing themselves that cutting themselves off from God offers them more clarity. All they do is invert their lens. It disgusts me when I see their monuments to perversity displayed as “art” for all the citizens to be forced to see.
No, it’s not going to be Ready Player One. It’s going to be Snowcrash (1989) by Neil Stephenson. The term “metaverse” was coined in this novel and the depiction of it presented is exactly what they appear to be aiming at.
Thanks for the tip on the book. Just ordered it.
No thanks.
and Al Gore fades farther and farther into the Internet’s past.
But he will always be at the beginning as the inventor of the very first tubes.
The transhumanism ideology has been around for a very long time which shows itself with influential people always suggesting they can ‘improve’ on mans stock. It may start out in altruistic ideals but soon its evil roots are exposed.
I remember one of the first Omni magazines that hit shelves was all about the coming marriage with the human mind and tech. This was back in the 70’s when computers weren’t even a thing yet. The goal is always the same, immortality without God.
The Ready Player One already exists although still in its infant stages. You can already use VR and google earth to go anywhere on the planet and be on the street looking around. At this point you can only go look and cannot interact with the surroundings. But this will change, soon. While there are some really kewl things about this, there are some very cautionary things as well, some of which has been eluded to in the article.
Where this is going. On the short, immediate, road is the VR Ready Player One refinements to hook and drag people into the false reality. Make the VR addictive so people cannot withdraw themselves from it. The next step is the Matrix, where Natural Laws don’t apply and yet you can still ‘feel’ everything and interact with everything in that fake world as if it were real. The step after this is something like the movie Surrogates where people will operate androids and the message pushed will be just as the movie ads state. All the pleasure without the risk.
Eventually, like the article states, you will be able to gain immortality by uploading your consciousness into a cyber space. Where you can check out but never leave.
Your last sentence sounds like the definition of Hell.
The masses will love it and that leaves the world for us while we duke it out with the deep state.
Their world of virtual is not for me, nor will be allowed in my home.
And to make it even more ridiculous…
NIKE files trademarks to sell digital sneakers in the Metaverse
The filings indicate an intent to make and sell NIKE-branded VIRTUAL shoes and clothing.

And the very stupid controllable dimsums WILL spend money and buy nothing. Like Carlin stated, don’t underestimate the stupid.
I don’t know anyone with Christ in their life who is interested in any of this crap.
Unfortunately I do…
The nike waffle iron….
Building a imperfect copy of the Matrix within the Matrix.
Its coming, to be sure.
Will it be well recieved here?
No.
Do I like it?
I am neutral I suppose, as with anything there will be good and bad.

Why would you downvote this?
Its just information, even a hater could use.
Your downvote is obviously an emotional responce to circumstances that make you uncomfortable.
Might want to work on that.
Don’t sweat it… theres always a down voter here. If you said the Sun is hot, they’d down vote it… means nothing.
It’s not difficult to see how the masses have been groomed to embrace this technology.
“There will be no limits. Do anything. If it feels good, go ahead and do it.”
^^^ And this has been the crux of the problem all along.
Humans need touch and real life connection to thrive. They’ll die without it. Not that the elites really give a damn, but still.
Thats why tactile feedback is seeing a lot of money being poured into it as well. The implantable connect, ie Matrix, will eliminate the need to wear anything as the brain will be tricked into thinking the five senses are reporting accurately.
Cypher – I know this steak isn’t real
I’m thisclose to becoming Amish. Or…moving to a cabin in the woods with zero technology.
Tech is constantly being advanced by some very clever people. But equally clever people are working to break and use that same tech against their aggressors. Trick is to stay out of the field of view and learn from the white hats how to be more of the grey man in the crowd.
What I’ve wanted all along & more & more….
The GUI effects that trick already. Even at best, the five senses report narrowly. All are on the spectrum, in that sense. Breakdown…

ya’ gots yer gas chamber & ya’ gots yer light chamber…
Was good enough for S/he & Bmcgee….in the background foreground, hear it? “Where to? Washington, D.C.” Well that’s just about perfect. And “Pink”’s weren’t even emblazoned on gal’s derrieres in those days. “No Fear” wasn’t decaled on rear windows, neither. Not that I’ve seen much of either of those “cultural” ad markers for awhile.
Add to that the Military Industrial Complex.
Understanding the Misusage of VR and The Internet of Bodies is not a Priority for the masses.
“The RAND Corporation, the think tank behind some of the world’s most influential and frightening ideas and technologies, has released a report titled The Internet of Bodies: Opportunities, Risks, and Governance.”
The “think tank” is an organ that the money printers use to plot the destruction of God’s works.
Ain’t them bodies boondock saints?
Metaverse: No different from the false promises of drugs, alcohol, or any other addiction. Newest and coolest attempt to escape from life and truth.
Same premise. Like fentanyl is “better” heroin, tho.
Cambria/n Explosion came before the meteor explosion that killed damn near everything. Meteor strikes are the would-be métier of these meatheads…or, in invasive Zucchini’s case, by the look of him, lab-meathead.
The difference between clever & intelligent, which under some definitions are synonyms, is speed. How quick does Moog, or Kurzweil, synthesize the dots, make the sounds of music?
Trouble is ~ every pitcher, even the fastest fastballer, has got a catcher’s mitigation right in front of him ~ and for a lot of clever meatcleavers that mitt is an altogether offsetting speed defect called short time preference.
Recall that well-known kiddie experiment with the marshmallows.
Some kids, more & more of ‘em I’d say, are always going to be immediate gobblers.
And a few will be seed-savers, lenders at interest, & mallow reverse engineers.
The former ain’t ever gonna’ syntheSistine the chapel – no matter what “the meta” trompe l’oeil’s those eyes into believing they are seeing, or selling.
No, all those will do is tear down the chapels & anything that sounds like chapels if sounds “wrong” acoustics come out of them (like Dave Chappelle, who imo is mostly a racebait pitcher, which is to say a very slow racer…but clever).
Put another way, these speed freaks aren’t quick enough to keep up with their preferences. And that’s the kind of great balls o’ fire s’mores speed that kills.
Build a better way to jerk off and they will come (pun probably intended).
“They” are building the false kingdom right in front of you. These verses from Acts chapter 4; of course most of you believe the church of today began in chapter 2…
Acts 4:32-35 KJB… “And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.”
Own nothing and be happy… well, there it is right there. One heart, one soul… that’s happiness! Sold all, owning nothing; the few sharing with the many anything needed! Sounds like paradise! This is what the pope and his “globalist” minions is calling for. And people believe it!!!
Hmmm… what could possibly be wrong with this picture?
Hint: that was a very different church. One that does not exist today. The Lord began a new one with Paul.
So they have invented the tech for the matrix to become our reality. Sweet.
