China wants to take over Taiwan, which was historically part of its territory, as well as some islands or oil deposits in the South China Sea.

The U.S. wants to acquire Greenland, Canada, and the Gaza Strip.

The European Union is waging a war with Russia over territory of eastern and southern Ukraine that was part of Russia or under its control from 1667 until 1991 and fought on its side in World War II against western Ukrainians, who were traditionally part of Western Europe and fought against Russia in WWII. For the EU, conquering Ukrainian territory—which in pre-2014 polls identified with Russia rather than the EU and in 2014 rebelled against its integration into the EU—is a way to pave the path for its eastward expansion.

For Russia, losing this territory means losing its great-power status in the world. However, it would prefer to take over the entire territory of the independent Ukrainian state, which was established in 1991, because, as Zbigniew Brzezinski, national security advisor to U.S. President Jimmy Carter, wrote:

‘It cannot be stressed enough that without Ukraine, Russia ceases to be an empire, but with Ukraine, influenced and then subordinated, Russia automatically becomes an empire.’

Due to these territorial claims, the world is currently on the brink of a world war that would destroy the most advanced civilization in its history and likely all life on planet Earth. On one side stand Russia and China—two states that cannot afford to implement full democracy because, in that case, they would break apart into a number of smaller states and cease to be capable of defending their sovereignty against the pressure of NATO, led by the USA.

On the other side stand the USA, which seeks to dominate the entire world and thereby secure the greatest wealth on Earth, and the European Union, which hopes that by expanding its territory eastward toward China’s borders, it may eventually become the largest and wealthiest global power.

The conflict between these two blocs is currently playing out on Ukrainian territory, has possibly already claimed a million lives, and could at any moment escalate into open war between them—and into nuclear war. Meanwhile, the EU and the USA ignore the reluctance of eastern and southern Ukrainians to join the European Union, thereby abandoning the democratic values they proclaim and making it clear that power and wealth are higher priorities for them than democracy.

Hidden from the global public, a power struggle is also taking place in another domain. The battle is over who will control the functioning of the entire world population’s brains. On March 13 2024 the European Parliament adopted the legislative resolution laying down harmonised rules on Artificial Intelligence . In item 29 it states:

“AI-enabled manipulative techniques can be used to persuade persons to engage in unwanted behaviours, or to deceive them by nudging them into decisions in a way that subverts and impairs their autonomy, decision-making and free choices… Such AI systems deploy subliminal components… that persons cannot perceive as those stimuli are beyond human perception or other manipulative or deceptive techniques that subvert or impair person’s autonomy, decision-making or free choice in ways that people are not consciously aware or, where they are aware, they are still deceived or are not able to control or resist. This could be facilitated, for example, by machine-brain interfaces.”

The European Parliament did not mention the possibility of performing the same manipulations of human brain activity at distance. China, Russia and the USA already possess such technologies and are undoubtedly working to improve them and replace them with new ones—for example, satellite-based technologies.

In the Report of the Human Rights Council Advisory Committee of the UN published in 2024, “Impact, opportunities and challenges of neurotechnology with regard to the promotion and protection of all human rights“ in item 23 we can read:

“Neurotechnologies challenge the foundations of the human rights system and can be used in ways that may erode democracy and the rule of law… Neurotechnologies can be used to interfere and manipulate individuals… They may also interfere with the right to make autonomous life choices… Moreover some types of neurotechnologies can affect mental health and provoke alterations in an individual’s personality, psychological balance or sense of self identity… they can be successfully used to condition the forming of opinions, as well as influencing an individual’s decision-making processes. That enables, to an unprecedented extent, behavioural manipulation of individuals by private actors, such as marketing engineers or political campaigners… the risk that such interference occurs even without the individual’s consent or knowledge is high“.

For years, global media have been writing about the so-called ‘Havana Syndrome.’ Discussions in the U.S. Congress on this topic have made it quite clear that both Russia and the U.S. are using weapons capable of remotely manipulating human brain activity to target diplomats and intelligence officers of their adversaries. It is only a matter of time before these attacks are expanded to entire populations.

As a result of the struggle for territory and power, global democracy and this civilization are descending into a deep crisis. Russia and China cannot embrace democracy without granting all the advantages of global dominance to the United States and the European Union. Meanwhile, the EU—and especially the U.S.—conceal the existence of remote human brain activity manipulation technologies, intending to use them in a war against Russia and China and, more broadly, for global domination that will have nothing to do with democracy.

The most promising way out of this crisis would be the creation of a democratic United Nations—one that guarantees the sovereignty of nations against foreign attacks based on a majority vote of UN member states. This would prevent great powers from seeking to conquer new territories and, in their mutual conflicts for those territories, from destroying the world. Likewise, only a democratic UN could effectively ban the use of brain-control technologies, whether within individual nations or in international relations possessing the authority to oversee adherence to the prohibition ot their use. A petition to ban the remote manipulation of human brain activity can be signed here, and a petition to establish a democratic UN can be signed here.
