Every sci-fi fan knows about the Borg, Star Trek‘s archenemy collective of cybernetic beings that ruthlessly assimilates other species and their technologies.  Their favorite phrase when overtaking a new life form is “resistance is futile.”

Indeed, the Borg are formidable.  After thousands of years, their stolen technologies surpass anything the Federation has developed.  But oddly, while gaining significant advantage at the beginning of each encounter, they are always stymied by Federation officers and crew.

How is this possible?  With all their technology, and an endless supply of interchangeable soldiers and a collective “hive mind,” they always lose at the end of the episode.

In one memorable episode, Captain Picard is assimilated by the Borg and is forced to betray the Federation as his knowledge is absorbed by the collective.  But as he is being assimilated, a single tear runs down his cheek, and we realize that the true Picard is still inside.

The heroes of Star Trek don’t have the option of giving in to the Borg.  They know that if they surrender, they will become another part of the collective and their society, and all freedom, will cease to exist.

What can we learn in our current struggles to oppose the multiple threats to freedom and democracy facing the United States and the remnants of the free world?

The various components of our society — political and military leadership, corporate America, the medical/pharmaceutical field, and our judicial and electoral systems — seem to have been absorbed into a collective, even if we are not completely certain as to their full leadership.  The WEF?  China?  Cartels?  Democrat-Marxists?  Or a collection of them all?

The “Present-Day Borg” (PDB) used the COVID pandemic and lockdowns, and later the vaccines, to gain control over every aspect of our lives.  Our energy, water, and food supplies are under attack from our current administration (either willing traitors or plain incompetents) or through saboteurs coming across our wide-open borders.  Their control of our schools offer our children dumbed down educations with altered history, sexual confusion, and a complete absence of creative or logical thinking.  Our scientists have been co-opted to produce pre-determined results that advance the false narratives like “global warming,” while any evidence to the contrary is “fact-checked” as false.  They intimidate through lies and deception, using our own legal system to accuse others of false crimes to silence opposition.

Their use of technology to brainwash and overpower us — Big Tech propaganda, censorship, and surveillance — is very Borg-like.  The World Economic Forum, which is most certainly among the core groups trying to take over our planet, is frighteningly interested in cybernetics and mind control; experimental nanoparticle injections; and crazy ideas like monitoring political views through internet surveillance, implanting devices to read minds, and eventually controlling us remotely.

They seek a world of mind-numbed robots to serve them in perpetuity.
