Disrupting the Elite with Disruptive Technologies
Source: Joe Plummer
Over the past 100 years, the Network has worked very hard to monopolize our money, media, medicine, manufacturing, education, energy, agriculture, and government. But all of this top-down centralized power is currently under attack. It's being destroyed; not by armies, but by innovation. 

As of now, the most obvious and widespread example of this monopoly-destroying power is the internet.

The purpose of the article appears to have been to highlight the controversy surrounding the esteemed Professor of History at Georgetown University, Carroll Quigley (1910-1977) following the release, suppression, and pirating of his magnum opus "Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time" published in 1966 and exhaustively researched and written in the 20 years between 1945-1965.
