Welcome back ladies and gentlemen.

Welcome back to the Corporate Report Podcast.

I'm your host James Corbett of Corporate Report.com coming to you, as always,

technocratic agenda itself and how it relates to the oil industry or the post-carbon era, all of these concepts

the World documentary, but if you have not, it might be a good idea just to brush up on the basics of what is technocracy?
