Alternative historian Michael Tsarion discussed humankind's future and the "ancient alien agenda," as carried out by unseen elite or controllers. Aliens or 'Nephilim' were scientists who lost their technology during a great war 13,000 years ago, and it is now being restored, he claimed. This new wave of technology, will follow in the footsteps of Silicon Valley and the computer revolution, yet be presented as a spiritual step forward to the masses, he cautioned.

The concept of "governmentality" develops a new understanding of power. Foucault encourages us to think of power not only in terms of hierarchical, top-down power of the state. He widens our understanding of power to also include the forms of social control in disciplinary institutions (schools, hospitals, psychiatric institutions, etc.), as well as the forms of knowledge. Power can manifest itself positively by producing knowledge and certain discourses that get internalised by individuals and guide the behaviour of populations. This leads to more efficient forms of social control, as knowledge enables individuals to govern themselves.
"Governmentality" applies to a variety of historical periods and to different specific power regimes. However, it is often used (by other scholars and by Foucault himself) in reference to "neoliberal governmentality", i.e. to a type of governmentality that characterizes advanced liberal democracies. In this case, the notion of governmentality refers to societies where power is de-centered and its members play an active role in their own self-government, e.g. as posited in neoliberalism. Because of its active role, individuals need to be regulated from 'inside'. A particular form of governmentality is characterized by a certain form of knowledge ("savoir" in French). In the case of neoliberal governmentality (a kind of governmentality based on the predominance of market mechanisms and of the restriction of the action of the state) the knowledge produced allows the construction of auto-regulated or auto-correcting selves.
Total institution
Types of social institution Some boarding schools, concentration camps, colleges, cults, prisons, mental institutions, sailing ships, boot camps, monasteries, convents, nursing homes, and orphanages fit this description.
Of these, concentration camps and death camps are the most extreme example of a total institution. Prisons and mental institutions, though legal, involve the involuntary isolation of people out of the society. Unless conscripted, boot camps, army barracks and submarine crew, involve total institutions where individuals join as non-civilian professionals. Some of the few types of total institutions which operate within a civil society are boarding schools, small private colleges, orphanages and homes for troubled children

You see how this relate`s in the need to have two wage earned in a home and there by forcing kids to have to go to school instead of being taught at home . In the older days family units often stayed together having 3 generations under 1 roof was not uncommon and did help out . But in our need to gain individual independence we have gone to single or two generation families shipping grandpa and grandma off to nursing homes because we don`t have the time to look after them any more . They are the ones who end up suffering in the long run recently we have seen a turn about in the medical field where these people are often times left to die instead of being looked after .
The UK is getting really bad with their laws they are passing if you have a child on life support because they can not breath with out assistance the ventilator will be shut off if a Swine Flu victim requires it. Elderly are being left to starve to death in hospitals instead of investigating why they have become non responsive to staff at them. I`m sure we will see this spread west and possibly around the world
