PERHAPS 60% OF TODAY'S
OIL
PRICE IS PURE SPECULATION
by F. William Engdahl
The price of crude oil today is not made according to any traditional
relation of supply to demand. It’s controlled by an elaborate financial market
system as well as by the four major Anglo-American oil companies. As much as 60%
of today’s crude oil price is pure speculation driven by large trader banks and
hedge funds. It has nothing to do with the convenient myths of Peak Oil. It has
to do with control of oil and its price. How?

I don't believe in the
death penalty for people, but I do believe in it for corporations.
My cat is not a person. A virus is not a
person.
A car is not a person. A corporation is not a person.
Back just after Lincoln died, the Supreme Court ruled that a
corporation was a person... had the rights and privileges of a person.
Then later on [about 1910] that was strengthened. In 1978, they said
that not only is a corporation a
person but it has Constitutionally
protected free speech, and its
money is its free speech. Which is like sort of a one-man, one-vote idea: There's me,
one man, and
then there's General Motors. I
get to have my vote and it
gets to use its money... not
even thinking about the fact that it has eternal life and can be many places at once.
And that's an evil thing.

What IS Globalism? The "solution" to
every "problem"
in the world. Often called "democracy".
This includes imaginary problems, hyped
problems, and
manufactured problems.
Decrease personal liberty, increase
tyranny via a combination of iron
fist and velvet
glove 'collectivism'.
Shift power and responsibility
away
from
people, first to governments, then to private
corporations, then to trans-national NGOs which really represent
private
corporate interests. Beware of NGO's that are wolves in sheep's
clothing.
What IS Neo-Liberalism?
"New" Liberalism or neo-liberal economics
is about
Liberation
for "repressed" MONEY. See, ultra wealthy people (Bush tax cuts herd,
govt-protected global banking cartels)
argued that their
money had been repressed by
laws restricting predatory speculation of hedge funds, for example, and
prohibited high-risk speculation by consumer banks, where risk and loss
is backed by taxpayers.
 (Wouldn't
it be
way cool
if you could go to the racetrack and place bets on horses all day, and
have taxpayers
pick up your losses?)
(My friend in
central
Ohio says that 1500 people apply for minimum wage jobs, and that
whatever min wage jobs exist are 70 miles away. This is by
design, not an accident. Your government gives out tax
breaks and
subsidies to support this process. One more way of covering the
gamblers.)
The point of Neo-Liberalism
is
to "free
up capital" to liberally run amok like a child molester or rapist,
and let it do whatever it wants, without "big government" telling it
what it cannot do to people
and to society. Instead of locking
down "hot money" speculators and locking up economic criminals in a
stockade, the government locks up
people who oppose this corrosive and undemocratic use of
Capital for purposes of destruction and looting. They are de-capitalizing the world, and
using Capital (and force) to accomplish that.
Hugo Chavez, for
one example, opposes neo-liberal economics, for what it has done to
Venezuela, Argentina, and most of Latin America and the world,
including America. That is supposed
to mean he's a communist dictator. No, neo-liberal economics
based on govt manipulation of economies is really Communist/capitalist.
Even the Pentagon says
it's "Marx on steroids".
Castro came to power by
opposing neo-liberalism before there was a name for it. Most
of these Third World countries have been "developed" into the ground by
generous grants from US taxpayers (given
to US corporations and banks) and by imposed debt and forced
economic policies. America is GETTING THE SHAFT RIGHT NOW!!
We've been giving this to everyone else.
The first
part of their
solution is to step-by-step
incrementally
shift
Power and Liberty away from Sovereign
Persons. "Sovereign Persons"
is how the Declaration and US Constitution sees us, possessing
"God-given" rights.
Seize upon
personal
sovereignity and Liberty, and transfer that UP the chain to City,
State, Federal govt -- ultimately submit our liberty to the whim of
private unaccountable Sovereign corporate powers -- the 50,000 or
so people who actually fund elections and lobbyists.
That
solves the problem of
pesky humans, the "rabble", all the problems of "excess
democracy". True representative govt can be so
"inefficient". Most important, this quiet
transfer of power prevents
Liberty from serving "people
who
don't deserve liberty", rejects people who
don't have enough money. Under our "Rule of
Law", Representatives" are held responsible to uphold the Constitution,
and some swear oaths to do so..
Then, simultaneously
incrementally
transfer
National
Sovereignty to GLOBALIST unaccountable trans-national, supra-national,
and international bodies run by corporate chiefs, bankers,
international finance, and Euro royalty -- and run
by these same
representatives who vote away their
political powers up to these groups --- which they manage and
serve.
These NGOs
are run by
International investment cartels. IMF, World Bank, WTO officials,
etc.
(The
concept is parallel to moving taxable income and savings offshore,
except it's doing the same thing with rights and freedoms. Note:
Constitutionally, the govt cannot take away your God-Given
Rights. They can only VIOLATE your Rights.)
Please note
that these NGOs
are shielded from much accountability,
responsibility, or liability. Defeat real elections with
risky outcomes, and defeat tort
(lawsuits). The principle of Tort, "any wrongdoing for which and
action for damages may be brought", payment instead of lynching, goes
back to Magna Carta going back to the
year 1215.
By removing these things,
the POWERFUL can gain all the power with
none of the risks.
That, along with control of the media, solves the problem of "an
excess of
democracy", as defined by Walter Lippman and others.
This MUST be
the GREATEST
SOLUTION, since most Democrats, most Republicans, and most corporate
and/or tax-free Foundation-funded "think tanks" seem to agree on this
type of solution to every problem,
whether it's real
problems which
THEY create or exacerbate [make
worse], or fictional
problems
and fears which they
manufacture and market to us.
- Global Warming/Environment
- Population/Immigration
- Education declines
- Energy
- Poverty and Economics, Trade issues caused in large part by capitalistic
investment and trading rules and patterns
- Crime, including non-crime crimes which
primarily affect the criminal
- Terrorism, including nuclear,
bio-weapons, Axis of Evil
- Health and disease
Environment:
mandate everything turned over to the UN [Rockefeller] and
their sustainability
plan. Give the elite Globalists control over it.
Population: Managed by UNESCO, by forced
sterilyzation.
Fund studies on forced population reduction.
Immigration: Fund
racist minority immigration groups, and protect them. Propose the gradual elimination of
borders and US sovereignty, simply by combining Canada, US, Mexico, and
eventually the rest of Central and South America into One Big American
Union. Allow the UN to trump US laws, and run things, despite
their history of overseeing disasters like Iraq and Rwanda.
Education: "Warehouse" children for a decade.
Turn authority over from local to Federal mandates, including forced
psych testing..
Energy: Let more international
bodies run
that. Create an International Tax on
oil at the wellhead. Let elites seize control of
OPEC. In the meantime, work to keep alternative energy off the
market, including "disappearance" of inventors of viable alt. energy
processes. Instead, seize control of the Middle East. Sit on oil in Iraq, prevent pumping, order Iraq to align
with OPEC, ("Bush
Didn't Bungle Iraq, You Fools"), and drive up prices.
Poverty and Economics, Trade issues: create a central bank in
1913
which is quasi-public/private (private profits, public risks).
Have it create a BOOM for investors and a Depression for losers later
on. Use the Depression to seize assets and transfer them to
bankers who created the bust. Allow the Fed reduce the value of
the dollar by 95% in less than 100 years via inflationary creation of
money and national debt.
Create national poverty programs which benefit Big Agriculture (govt
surplus food, "farm" subsidies) and Mil Contractors (Lockheed
manages welfare). Create Social Security, then milk it and drain
it to finance wars.
Turn final authority over to
Globalist bodies -- by complex "treaties" the President can sign, not
by unconstitutional laws -- and allow them to overrule laws and
regulations passed by Congress.
Crime: Gradually outlaw everything so it's
difficult to impossible to not be an outlaw in some way. Creates
a growing sense of insecurity. Use poverty to exacerbate
crime.
Claim Fed authority to outlaw certain plants by edict. Create a
new Prohibition without a
Constitutional Amendment and gradually expand that power, to the point
of arresting anyone on "suspicion", "conspiracy", etc., eliminating the
4th Amendment, and empowering Feds and States to seize private property
"tainted" by drugs.
In the meantime, use the international "War on Drugs" to bomb small
countries and to control and manage
the narcotics trade, managed by the Globalists, sustaining flow of narco-dollars
laundered by Wall Street and international banks and the CIA. Use
disposable "narco-traffickers" as mere agents, keep them compromised
and vulnerable.
Create the CIA to manage drug flows, as an Intelligence Arm working for
Wall Street.
"Sell" narcotics in the media, like movies and TV. Then bust
people for using them. Put "convicts" in prisons, more and more
privately-owned by Lockheed, Wackenhut (precursor of the FBI) and other
private companies tied in economically to the drug importers themselves
by Boards of Directors and investors, by the legal system.
Sell dangerous prescription drugs, and begin to impose mandatory rules
where people MUST take them or face punishment.
Health and disease: Launch
toxic
radioactive waste on Iraq and our troops, causing it to spread
world-wide, increasing cancer risks.
Create health cartels like the AMA, and licensing laws for doctors and
medicine. Ration health care in this manner, for the "good of the
people", for "public safety". However, prevent citizen overview
of doctors by not releasing any records of "bad doctors" keeping
medicine just as dangerous as before, with the illusion of more safety.
Use the FDA to rubber stamp approval of dangerous pharmaceuticals,
while outlawing (sometimes FBI raids) alt. medicine practitioners and
providers. Demand expensive procedures to "prove" that herbal
folk treatments existing before Christ are safe.
Outlaw various forms of alternative medicine as "dangerous" while
pushing more dangerous pharmaceuticals.
Create Insurance cartels, and Big Pharma cartels. Make health
care unaffordable. If people cannot afford it, offer them free
govt health coverage, but only if they surrender privacy and
sovereignty.
You get the
picture.
THE
FALSE LEFT-RIGHT PARADIGM described by Kurt Nimmo:
What IS the NWO?
The
modern version of the New
World
Order is a
system of economic
and social
tyranny which either destroys political democracy
(the Will of the People, transmitted through representative government) or
else renders it IRRELEVANT.
IT'S CORPORATE RULE.
What
difference does voting make when you're starving, OR when the
voting system and every aspect of government is privately controlled?
 Jeanne Garafolo
actually encapsulated this well (from a Dem cheerleader viewpoint),
when she said that we NOW live in a socialist
country, where taxpayers
pay for PR groups like Rendon so they can LIE to us.
Our
"best" system of economics and organization is proudly based on the
acceptance and universality one of the Seven
Deadly Sins, and rewards whoever is the most sinful or
most greedy.
The New World Order is the ongoing efforts to build legal and political
structures to ever more firmly implant and solidify this system
globally, so as to pre-emptively intercept any resistance, anywhere on
earth, forever. NEW
WORLD ORDER ≈ Ruling Class, Super Bourgeoisie.
my
comment: The
NWO is not some occult bullshit. It's merely globalization, i.e. corporatism,
i.e. international fascism.
Period.
OK,
there's certainly some more ragged edges, but that's obviously the gist
of it.
What
is YOUR value as a human being? Depends how you measure it.
If you measure it by means of capitalism, the value of a human being
approaches zero as time moves towards 2049. Global trade does part of
that. Computers do the rest. You're FUNGIBLE.
This
is
actually a call FOR SOCIALISM or for some form of HUMANISM -- but
obviously a grassroots variety, not some Stalinistic parasitic variety.
We need a vision that preserves the value of human beings AS human
beings, NOT as mere worthless and expendable economic corporate cogs.

Total Debt
Report - $ 40 Trillion - - and soaring
The
problem is not just deficit spending. Like all useful things,
sometimes it can be good. Consumer credit and commercial credit
is too, if it's used with restraint, if it's used to invest in
something useful, something that will grow or throw off profits or
social dividends. There is NO restraint, and spending and debt is
not driven by soundness but by the power of corporate lobbying (legal
bribery) pretending to be "capitalist" while sucking off the teat of
taxpayers, i.e. "wealthfare", and, YES, some social service programs
which are not designed to solve any problems in the
first place.
At best, some social programs are used to mitigate the effects of the
corporate rape room, and keep the masters in power, and the public in
check.

Perhaps
one of the biggest
things keeping most
Americans politically and socially divided is a
political
Tower of Babel
coupled
with a heavily propagandized and
sanitized world history and US history.
ONE of many ANTIWAR,
PRO-CAPITALIST, conservative websites
 The
United States Is In Deep Doodoo!
But
Nixon had
to collateralize that debt
somehow, and he hit upon the plan of quietly setting aside huge tracts
of American land with their mineral rights in
reserve to cover the outstanding debts.
But since the American people were
already angered over the war in Vietnam, Nixon couldn't very well admit
that he was apportioning off chunks
of the United States to the holders
of foreign debt.
So, Nixon invented the Environmental
Protection Agency and passed draconian environmental
laws which served to grab land with vast natural resources away from
the owners and lock it away, and even more, prove to the holders of the
foreign debt that US citizens were not drilling. mining, or otherwise
developing those resources.
From that day to this, as the government
sinks deeper into debt, the government grabs more and more land,
declares it a wilderness or "roadless area" or "heritage river" or
"wetlands" or any one of over a dozen other such obfuscated labels, but
in the end the result is the same.
We The People may not use the land,
in many cases are not even allowed to enter the land.
livestock:
Another
website www.codex.citymaker.com/page/page/3113334.htm explains
that Americans,
human
beings, our bodies and
minds, are also officially collateralized
to pay the debt. It says that there is a computer
file somewhere in Washington or NY, with each of our
Social Security numbers on it.
Like so many
heads of cattle
or hogs, we are property of
foreign and US investors.
That sounds
weird until you
realize that our National Debt is collateralized on our future productivity, and our future
tax-paying ability. That would mean that China, Japan,
Europe, everyone who holds our debt essentially "owns us".
So it
probably IS true that each
American citizens
has officially been pledged as
collateral on the debt like livestock.
The $1 Billion per DAY ($350bn/y) in
interest we are paying right now with our hard labor doesn't even make
a dent. We are just intended to be in hock, indentured servants,
forever.
Bush,
by creating a
total $2 Trillion of current and expected debt to
finance this stupid war on Iraq -- more than any other previous
President -- while giving $Trillions in tax breaks to the very people
who promoted the War and who benefit from it
-- he has SOLD all of us to bankers and investors --
including China, and well "the Jews", at least the
tiny minority of Jews who head up the international banking cabal
(including Paul Wolfwitz, architect of the Iraq War). (I'm
a Jew, but I'm not getting a check in the mail.)
ISN'T
IT IRONIC THAT WHILE WE ARE FIGHTING FOR "FREEDOM"
FOR IRAQIS --- THE
FREEDOM TO VOTE SO LONG AS WHOMEVER THEY ELECT STRICTLY DENIES THEM
CONTROL OVER THEIR OWN NATURAL RESOURCES -- in a war that was
planned while Clinton was in office, and even going
back to 1975, just waiting for the "persuasive casus belli" of Sept 11
to proceed -- GEORGE BUSH HAS SOLD OUR
FREEDOM TO CHINA?
ALMOST
MAKES YOU WANT TO INVADE FOUR MORE COUNTRIES, SO WE CAN BE EVEN MORE
COMPLETELY OWNED for many future generations.

A
Capitalist War? by Lew Rockwell comparing US policy to
Lenin and Stalin
The govt and
private corporations pays professional bloggers, with OUR tax
dollars, to create propaganda to "sell" us
their war. They expect us to
email this around to each other.
Just like any decent con artist, behavioral
psychologists
and PR consultants seize upon
our deepest
fears and desires or our greed, our highest moral,
ethical, and religious
values, and our noble love of America,
and twist that around, confuse us, and screw us all with the very
best of what we possess, and USE us for their benefit.
They have to spin
it,
because dropping bombs on people, destroying property essential for
live, and destroying homes that people have worked their whole lives
for, raiding someone's private home and lining up wives, mothers, and
children and tying them up and shooting them, has nothing whatsover to do with love of
America,
but they know enough Americans are stupid enough to fall for
the lies if they spread them thick.
They know, because
it's
predictable throughout history, and because they do surveys on the
'effectiveness' of varous propaganda vehicles, just like Neilsen
surveys on TV shows and other consumer surveys.
Not to get down on Americans too bad, the CIA has studied for decades
how to properly psyop a population, as have PR specialists.
This
page will be under revision. I am not an economist or
investor. I am unclear at this point whether
Marx was absolutely right, or as some astute and
good people like Joe
Stromberg claim, Marx was fundamentally wrong about
economics but right
about war and imperialism, but that 'real'
free market capitalism will work (whatever
that truly
means - it's as devoid of existing evidence as 'real' communism).
However, one thing is certainly clear -- the current state of
capitalism is the financial and political equivalent of an all-powerful
and egomaniac global crack addict.
Profiteering:
This year CEOs gave themselves, through a board vote (with other CEO's
siting on these boards), on average a 22% raise. Executive pay jumped
571% between 1990 and 2000. If the minimum wage, which stood at $3.80
an hour in 1990, had grown at the same rate as CEO pay over the decade,
it would now be $25.50 an hour, instead of $5.15 an hour.
Bush senior's Carlyle connection means he is on the payroll of
corporate interests that receive defense contracts from the U.S.
government while his son is president.
What IS Socialism? Socialism refers to
"social" "society" "people" but it's American roots of it are NOT in Stalin or
Lenin. American origins are in coal miners, railroad workers,
steel workers, seamstresses, factory workers, all forms of hired
labor who worked for the profits of owners. People began
to talk and then join together to fight for some autonomy (liberty, freedom),
a liveable work week with time for rest, fair wages, decent and safe
labor conditions, some protections for injured workers so they couldn't be
cast aside like soiled rags, the abolition of child labor, fair
treatment for women and girls, and ultimately the end of all forms of
slavery, whether by ownership, chattel (debt), or de
facto slavery of
ordinary poor folks working to stay alive.
Criticism of the Dictatorship
of the Proletariat distortions
The
biggest ideological obstacle to thinking about a world not ruled by the
bourgeoisie -- is
the myth that the alternative -- the rule of the working class -- must
necessarily assume the form of a police state (ie: the
rule of a
single party which has a monopoly of political power and which
suppresses the democratic rights of its opponents).
Crisis
of theory
This myth
originates in
the experience
of the Soviet
and Chinese revolutions of 1917 and 1949. Both of these revolutions
degenerated into revisionist police states in which a
new ruling class
distorted Marxism in order to justify the permanent suppression
of the
independent political voice and independent politial life of the
working class. The result of this myth has been a "crisis
of theory" which has led to the paralysis of the left and the growth of
both the reformist and sectarian diseases which currently infect (and
greatly undermine the work of) nearly all progressive organizations.
This
myth, and the resulting crisis of theory, must be smashed up so that
hundreds of thousands of activists will be able to understand that a
world without bourgeois rule must be the goal of the progressive
movement. TOP
BOURGEOISIE
= NEW WORLD ORDER. Same thing.
Early socialist
efforts in America were less about establishing socialist
government, as
much as they were about demanding that government respect
socialistic
efforts carried out by free men (and women) -- such as union organizing
-- without resorting to violent suppression
and repression. The
first big
leap was for people to join together to fight for the Bill of Rights to
be enforced by government, rather than the whims of the wealthy, and
the interests of capital investors.
 Early Labor
writings
of the US-based IWW do mention
Marxism, because as a rigorous
analysis
of capitalism, Das Kapital
was written in 1867. See below.
Predictably,
workers who began to organize with other workers against the Tyranny of
Capitalist Bosses, were met with fists,
boots, clubs, and machine guns of either hired private
mercenary squads -- who were normally spared police interference no matter how violent they were --
and who had protected status in courts and all other aspects of police
and judicial matters.
Workers
who
went on strike, or threatened to strike, or even organized for the
possibility of striking, were treated like criminals and terrorists.
Violent suppression of labor
was how
Wackenhut and Pinkerton
got
started, and they eventually became
the FBI.
"Allan Pinkerton's
hatred for criminals shaped his agency's penchant for stretching
and breaking the law."
"William Pinkerton"dreamed of a worldwide web of data and social
control, dreams that later saw greater expression in the
development of the FBI's
fingerprint files and IBM's early
punch-card technology (which was later used by the Nazis).
"The Pinkerton National Detective Agency was above the law. A word from
[William] Pinkerton or one of his officers would send any "scrub"
citizen to the scrap heap or the penitentiary. A man
without wealth or influence trying to expose the dastardly
work of the Pinkerton National Detective Agency would be like a
two-year-old boy blowng his breath against a cyclone to stop its force"
- former Pinkerton Detective
Here is an article
how Wackenhut
was founded by an FBI agent, how it carried on terror activities where
the CIA didn't want to dirty it's own hands, and how they shipped
chemical weapons to Iraq. It also runs security
at US nuclear sites. Now it's the top firm
running "security" which makes society
more insecure and private prisons. (read
these two excellent articles)
A private
company, Wackenhut Corp.,
guards the Savannah River nuclear facility.
(Allan Detrich, Post-Gazette National Bureau)
 The history of businesses hiring security firms
and using them like a private army is long and rife with abuse.
Pinkerton, the nation's oldest and second largest security company,
earned its spurs in the late 19th century when its guards served as a
private army for robber barons intent on wiping out unions. Pinkerton provided the firepower when Ford
Frick issued the order to gun down striking workers at Andrew
Carnegie's Homestead steel plant in 1892.
Private security companies today have
kept that union-busting tradition alive and well. As corporations faced
with labor disputes turn more and more to so-called permanent
replacement workers, guard firms are utilized to crush militant
opposition from unions. A rapidly expanding subset of the industry
specializes in strikebreaking.
In
1990, SRC helped precipitate a melee when its guards used martial arts
sticks against striking newspaper workers in New York City.
Timothy
McVeigh,
the accused Oklahoma City bomber, signed on as a security guard after
flunking the Green Berets' psychological
tests.
there are security officers in this nation who are convicted murderers
and rapists, who are thrilled at the sight of fire, who think that a
uniform gives them authority, and that a gun gives them power, who
cannot control their urges or contain their wants, who prey on those
they are hired to protect

The American
people are getting close to a real big taste of what we've allowed our
system (corporate, finance,
government) to inflict on
others, worldwide, those who are even more powerless to stop the
machine than we are.
Counterpoint: Dr.
Sutton states: "Sooner or
later people will wake up. First we have to dump the trap of right and
left. This is a Hegelian
trap to divide and control. The battle is not
between right and left; it is between us and them."
Similarly,
in the international field left and right political structures are
artificially constructed and collapsed in the drive for one-world
synthesis, i.e. authoritarian
socialism controlled by monopoly capital.
OK, so the source website is jesus-is-savior.com,
which may be considered more a font of
spirituality or mythology than practical economics and politics.
What people of Sutton's ilk are ultimately saying is that it is "Christ
vs. Satan".
At least they
recognize that Bush is definitely on
the Dark Side, as a member of a Nazi
dynasty and as a member of the Order
of Death. I have to testify, I saw video of
them worshipping evil deities ... just like those weirdos who
torture animals while crankin' Cannibal Corpse.
But, while I'm arguing that
socialism is not inherently authoritarian,
the part I can agree on is that even dry economists like Chossudovsky
and Marxists like Parenti detail how global monopoly capital (NWO) is
on a rampage to destroy societies, civilization, the livable
environment, and undermine even basic liberty. My difference is I simply call that Fascism, to
distinguish a movement aimed at State-Corporate power vs. a movement
aimed worker emancipation. What this points out is the truism
that humans seeking personal and economic freedom ought to carefully
evaluate all "saviors", and not fall for some Trojan horse.

DO YOU LIKE FOREIGN PENETRATION?
Neo-Liberals demand
that countries "liberalize markets" and "open their
markets and their banks" to "foreign
capital penetration".
That's
like when you get a visit from John
Gotti's lieutenants and they tell
you to "open up to foreign capital penetration". You better
open your wife and kids to foreign penetration, too.
But
what if you don't want to be "penetrated" by foreign capital?
Afraid it might hurt?
IT WILL! They say so. They call it a "bitter pill",
"painful adjustment", but they "promise" it's only for a short
time. Maybe a few years or decades. Then the generous
corporations will make everyone wealthy and prosperous.
You're a communist, and you risk a CIA assassination or your country
bombed until you agree to "democracy" and "lots of penetration".
Venezuelan
President Hugo Chavez is opposed to
Neo-Liberalism, becaue he's sick of Latin Americans getting repeatedly "penetrated"
by Wall Street banksters, who insist that "you'll love it,
it might hurt at first but it will feel good later".
The NATO bombing of Kosovo was not about
"helping people", but instead
the US demanded that Milosevic allow Yugoslavia to be "penetrated" by
Wall Street and London and NATO-countries.
When Russia finally got "penetrated" by
capitalism, they saw billions
of dollars and
hard assets like metals and airplane factories flow out of their
country at garage sale prices, and massive poverty and starvation as
bad as the
Stalin's era.
All over the world -- including the Rwandan
genocide where liberals say "we didn't
help enough" --- we
helped plenty -- the US-based globalists have demanded various
"restructuring", "free market reforms", and capital "penetration" which
has destroyed local economies, leading to unrest, blame, and
violence. Think that can't
happen here? It already is, and they are fanning the
flames. |

on Economic NEW WORLD ORDER
It
must be noted somewhere on this page, that while "non-market" economies
like the Soviets and Cuba performed less-than-perfectly at complex
centralized planning, while nevertheless providing life essentials for
everyone in the absence of obscene wealth, this does not prove anything
about inherent flaws. The US
has long engaged in massive
centralized planning ... but for the benefit of a tiny group of
obscenely wealthy elites
who "buy" that favoritism from government and "buy" the politicians,
rather than for the benefit of the entire population.
Furthermore, "Communism"
did not collapse. (Thomas L Wayburn, PhD Chemist)
It was driven down at a
cost that can be roughly estimated as the
magnitude of the National Debt of the United States, which today
is
about 8 trillion dollars of
productive wealth, with interest payments
currently at $1 billion each day --- to accomplish the task of
destroying the ability of the USSR to function and serve the Russian
population.
THIS
IS IMPORTANT: The National Debt is actually hundreds
of TRILLIONS higher, because all the money collected from Social
Security and "loaned" back to the Feds, i.e. put on the
taxpayers debit sheet,
went NOT to build up anything in American public society, NOT to the
people or the taxpayers, but as a payment transfer to the private
Military-Industrial complex. Plus the creation
of
Al-Qaida as part of "Cold War" strategy.
Does it make sense now how rational
it was for politicians to seek to protect their Cold War military
budgets, how convenient it was to shift
from the engineered fall of the
"menace" Soviet Union during the Bush administration (with the help of
terrorist Yeltsin), to the rise of a sudden new threat of "global
terrorism", engineered in the 1993
World Trade Center bombing under Clinton? --- It was revealed in open court that
FBI managed the entire bombing "sting" operation, from recruiting the
bombers to giving them live explosives.
Thomas
L Wayburn: Business divides up what is left over
after the people who actually produce wealth have been paid enough to
keep themselves alive and perhaps just this side of open
rebellion. It is fair to say that the Harvard Business School is
a school for crime no less than the state penitentiary, except that the
graduates of Harvard will steal a great deal more.
The function
of
business is to transfer wealth from the producers of wealth to the
ruling class, which produces nothing.
Thomas L Wayburn on Preservation of the
Species:
Marxism
is
based on the theory that people will voluntarily produce material
wealth for the common good to the best of their ability, provided only
that they are supplied with a sufficient portion from the common pool
of wealth to supply their needs and to satisfy their desires. In
practice, Marxist leaders, like leaders
of every stripe, do not rely on volition, but resort to coercion just
as the feudal capitalists they overthrew had done. No one knows whether
the theoretical premise of Marxism is true or false, as it has never
been tested. Actually, saying that Marxism, or any aspect
of Marxism, e.g., economic planning, has been proved invalid is like
saying that failure of cold nuclear fusion proves that all nuclear
fusion is impossible, which would mean, of course, that the sun isn’t
shining.
Analogy
of American Party Politics
at the turn of the
20th century
Burger
King and Taco Bell are
two competing restaurants. But whether you like a Whopper or Burrito,
either way Pepsico, Inc. takes the profit, because both
companies are subsidiaries of Pepsi. (This is not to say
that
there are not menu differences, nor to deny that good, loyal people
work at both restaurants.)
Likewise, the Democrats and Republicans are two competing
management
systems, possibly with slightly different sets of people to pay off,
with slightly difference emphasis and "style" --- especially on
issues which have little relevance to economics
and robbery --- but in
reality both
parties are mere subsidiaries,
bought and paid for by a tiny cabal of billionaires and
hundred-millionaires.
The billionaires' "Advisory
Groups" finances both
teams and chooses leaders loyal to them,
and promotes whoever they prefer on TV and in the News while keeping up
appearances of uncertainty and rigorous "debate", and needless to say they exerts
immense control over most aspects of the US economy. In reality,
the entire
world political-economic
system is their play-toy and
tool.
The
point is not to promote political apathy. Americans have resisted
tyranny in the past. The point is to stop getting caught up in their game of partisan bickering,
and instead exposing their hand, and making them play our game.
Since the
meetings and agenda of the globalist "Advisory
Groups" are
mostly secret, we must
speculate.
The most reasonable explanation to me is:
What we witness as elections are partly pomp
and fake drama to keep the public engaged in democratic electoral
rituals and debates about irrelevant non-economic matters
debating side-issues rather than substance,
---
this
was
the recipe recommended for a form of "democracy" encouraged by
strategists of past decades, like Samuel Huntington, Walter Lippman,
and others --- the appearance of
democratic participation minus the risks
to the elites of actual democratic power ---
and partly the somewhat real playing out of power grabs between
competing factions within the globalists pool, seeking to emphasize one
set of
billionaire agenda and methods over another set of billionaire agenda
and methods.
This is not a conspiracy theory. This is really stupid-obvious.
They
draft and promote plans directly to
government, they even
write their own legislation, for the specific
reasons of protecting and enhancing their own wealth and power, they meet with
Senators and Presidents directly.
You
can
sign petitions which they ignore (and can further ignore now
that voting machines are rigged), you can send emails
defined by category and if lucky get a canned response.
They
also own the Fortune 500. How could they --- why
would they --- NOT
control everything?
This "irrelevant political
democracy" has been a function in Latin America and
elsewhere for decades, everywhere the CIA and Pentagon has instituted
it or warped it --- now controlling the
United States of America. |
Here's how leftist critic Ben Seattle
pictures it:
On this site, he describes a
vision of "new Leninism" in an environment of free information, where
there is NO government running things, only self organizatiion. I
see the worthwhile value of a government (by any other name) that is hired
to provide various services to
people, not adding ruling power and control.

History of Capitalist
Sabotage in USA
America
was penetrated hard, first
by foreign capital in 1913 when the US banking system
was turned over to a cabal of private
bankers based in London, and
including the Queen. They had met in absolute secrecy on Jekyll
Island, off North Carolina, where they claimed to be "duck hunting" as
they tried to figure out how to "sell" their scheme to the American
public. Part of their subterfuge was "pretending to be
against it". The other
subterfuge was naming it the "Federal Reserve" to fool
people
into thinking it was government, instead of a private bankster cabal,
and that they kept a reserve of money. Federal Reserve is no more
federal than Federal Express. There is no reserve of money.
They just print it up like counterfeiters, and sell it to America, AND
to the rest of the world.
(It
was therefore a
giant hilarious pun by that funnyman Dick Cheney when he and
Anthony Scalia went "duck
hunting"
while in the process of not
discussing
Cheney's
upcoming case on disclosure
of his dealings
with the Energy industry as a public official. Hahahahaha.
Probably about 1 in 1000 Americans "got" Cheney's dry "F-You!" humor on that.)
The next major
penetration was
the Great
Depression, which the sweet-talking bankers said they could
prevent,
but instead they directly caused Americans to have to stand in lines
for handouts of bread and watery soup, and sleep on the curb.
Another big penetration was
Nixon completely dropping the gold standard so he could print
"free money" to finance War, causing double
digit
inflation and mass poverty for the next decade. Gold
had already been partly dropped under the international postwar Bretton
Woods conference, but Nixon took it another step.
Reagan is
sometimes lauded for stopping inflation via "application of pain" (you didn't know
Reagan was into Sadism?). The pain
was not
applied on anyone in his economic class. He also
dumped on
the public the problem of bailing out the Savings and Loan pirates,
sticking each
American with tens of thousands of dollars in debt, after Reagan's and
Bush's
friends (and
son Neil Bush) (and Democrats) stole all the money.

MORE HISTORY ON
"SOCIALISM"
Most people on the right and mainstream, even the most honest
and well-meaning paleo-conservatives, see "socialism"
strictly as a centralized State Capitalist bureaucracy run by a police
state system, the standard
western view of Soviet Russia.
Despite the
many
flaws of communism, much of what is
"known" in the West about "communist tyranny" is exaggeration and
propaganda, originally emanating from the desk of
Nazi
Josef
Goebbels -- who was one more tool of the US and British
investment class -- and that Nazi
"anti-worker" propaganda was
conveniently replicated throughout the USA by pro-Nazi media like Hearst News. It was used to
smear communism, Russia, China, American labor, and any government
committed to ameliorate the lives of the working poor.
What is NOT known about American workers fighting and dying for
basic
rights and liberty is the result of conscious
centralized
efforts to erase the history
of labor
struggles from textbooks, movies, TV, from "accessible" media.
The ideas
of Socialism reflect the eternal struggle of labor and workers for
economic Liberty versus economic enslavement.
Real Leftists equate "socialist
ideals"
with people agitating against the American Aristocracy
for the Bill of Rights during
battles over ratification of the Constitution, and fighting in the
courts and to
actually enjoy these
protections afterwards, to enjoy the right of free men to organize and
form Unions or Combinations, groups of workers with amassed political
power, the power to withhold work and bargain on a "levelled" playing field against
the power of concentrated capital.
(Unions
of Capitalist Investors --- like
American Enterprise Institute, CFR, NATO, Cato, American Heritage, and
thousands more --- are always considered acceptable --- and have actual direct influence inside
government.)
Real
Leftists equate "socialist
ideals"
with slaves
rebelling against their masters in the South and fleeing to safe
houses run by (often Christian)
abolitionists before government finally caught up to people with the
Emancipation
Proclamation.
Real Leftists equate ideals of "socialism" with American civilian rebellions in the
late 1800's and early 1900's, preceding Soviet
Russia
but proceeding from Marxist ideas, led by ordinary workers fighting for
social change and economic liberty ... later co-opted by
"Establishment
Liberalism", in large part for the purposes of "stability" and
to
benefit the profiteers.
American
history is littered with dead bodies of men
and women and children made
economic slaves so others could make a profit, and with the dead bodies
of men and women who attempted to halt or mitigate that wealth
accumulation in
favor of more and fairer wealth distribution. It's a fundamental
right to be able to withhold work from "the market" for a higher rate, just like oil
companies shut down refineries to fix a "glut" in the market, just like
the Feds pay big farms to cut milk production in order to raise milk
prices, but the government not only refuses to protect workers'
right to strike, but is actively antagonistic and violent towards labor.
I connect "socialism"
with desperate coal miners and
their families (and even a sheriff)
evicted from their homes or even killed
by police, military, and
gangs of private mercenary thugs hired by capitalist robber-baron
owners, who preferred
to
kill workers rather than surrender or compromise on wages and
working
conditions.
The
Police State,
using US Military, FBI, and local "law enforcement",
cracked down on the growing power of organized labor activists
throughout the early 1900's and beyond, with such famous Labor-Business
Wars as
the Palmer
Raids, the Ludlow Massacre, Matewan, and Haymarket.
NOTE:
Part
of the effect of Establishment Liberalism in the USA has been that the
giant Labor organizations like the AFL-CIO have been penetrated, compromised, and neutered by the CIA and related
forces. AFL-CIO has also been used
by CIA to defeat workers' revolutionary socialist movements
rising up in other countries, via such
CIA-funded institutions as
the National Endowment for Democracy.
I connect "socialism"
with Joe Hill (who
was executed in
a sham trial for a crime he didn't commit, even over the objections of
President Wilson), Big
Bill Heywood founder of the IWW,
and with Walter Reuther (who
was framed as a
"communist" and obviously assassinated by authorities)
who led United Auto Workers organizing
against the violence perpetrated
by FBI, CIA, local
police, and hired thugs, including attempted
assassinations in his living room.
I see these "socialists"
--- Reuther succumbed to political
desperation and fearmongering by rejecting "communists" who had
previously supported their cause --- as patriots fighting for Americans,
not "America", and fighting for Liberty
against a ruling elite made
up of flagrant scofflaws and
violators of the Constitution.
So, one thing for sure:
The
New World Order (the
title of Hitler's 2nd book) is NOT
Socialism. It is the OPPOSITE
of Socialism.
On my Audiolinks
page, I feature two prominent radical political agitators and
philosophers (who each have their own page), Michael
Parenti and Alex
Jones. Parenti
represents a Leftist resistance to Global Corporate
Capitalism. Jones represents
a Christian, paleo-Conservative (old school)
resistance to the New World Order and "crony non-free-market
capitalism.
Both
Bush's have publicly
praised the NWO.
Clinton supports it. Gary
Hart [video],
acting as mouthpiece for the unelected Council
on Foreign Relations said that 9-11, the
(CIA-staged)
terrorist attack was a wonderful
opportunity to push forward the NWO. The Republican PNAC
crowd supports it, and so does the Democratic Leadership Council,
though certainly not all Democrats
nor all Republicans.
NWO
leaders apparently DO also gravitate
towards sites of evil rituals, like Skull & Bones groups and
Bohemian
Grove. That
this is weird doesn't change the fact that it's real. But
in my opinion,
the occult
practices seem
to be NOT necessarily a primary
function
of "pure evil" and "Satanism", but a
fashionable emotional and spiritual adjunct to viewpoints and policies
about rulers vs. serfdom going back centuries (and
even primal sins like "greed", which is the glory and heart of
capitalism) which vary between mass public
swindling and
overt armed robbery / slavery.
Think about that: our "best" system of economics
and organization is proudly based on the acceptance and universality
one of the Seven Deadly Sins,
and rewards whoever is the most sinful.
Which
came first, the egg of evil, or the chicken of untrammelled greed
manifested in ancient examples of human slavery and which
happens to be manifested today inside an imperialist-capitalist
engine?
Parenti
shows
how violent imperialism and exploitation is the inherent nature of Capitalism, as
Karl Marx explained.
Alex Jones describes this instead as a perversion of "true free
market capitalism in an environment of perfect liberty", as envisioned
by Adam Smith.
I tend to
agree with critics who say that Adam Smith's (perhaps naïve) noble
vision inherently contains
the seeds of social destruction in it's core priniciples of
greed counter-balanced
by greed , in
that maximum greed generally triumphs over quaint notions like
fairness, justice, and human compassion. In
other words, the "worst in human nature" wins. The history of
violent
response to US labor struggles seems to attest to this point.
Others argue that it's the "worst in human nature" which undermines
socialist ideals.
I would say that some synthesis of
socialist mass
cooperation combined with strong-but-decentralized oversight and
citizen-diligence
will probably yield the best results for humanity ... if we survive
long enough to get there.

The
NWO is NOT socialism, in
any meaningful or historical sense of the word.
The "Socialism" pushed by the Council
on Foreign Relations described here
is really a
tyranny of industrialists and
"banksters". For example, this article
says Col. Edward Mandell House called for a "state-controlled central
bank" "as described by Marx". Well, so did Abe
Lincoln when he issued Greenbacks. But the Federal Reserve
founded by CFR members was the opposite, a "privately-controlled
central bank rewarded and protected with cozy State-sanction".
Conservatives
like Jones, who also OPPOSE economic and political tyranny, confuse the
advancing Global
Corporate One-World Government New World Order --- pushed by the
Neo-Conservatives and
by Establishment Liberals alike --- with Socialism and Communism ...
when in reality it's the "New Fascism", corporate-controlled
government, minus the jackboots and funny salutes.
This is the rational reason
why the NWO types in the 1930's
supported Adolf Hitler and Benito
Mussolini, and attempted to stage a coup in
America in
1934 [google]
to institute a similar style of dictatorship
in America.
Hitler and Mussolini crushed worker agitation, enslaved citizens (Jews
and others) and protected industry, under the alluring appeal of Super-Patriotism.
or self-sacrifice for glorification
of the State (not God or individuals) (in the USA, humans are
[were] Sovereign).
Well-meaning
conservative Lovers of Liberty seem to have a skewed or cloudy view of the
struggle of peasants and serfs worldwide
throughout history, which led to the birth of modern republican form of
limited democratic government via Enlightenment
era
philosophers, plus grassroots rebellion.
Libertarians
and Conservatives tend to ignore
the
root history of labor and worker struggle, the
ties between labor/human rights struggles and genuine socialist
revolution.
Well-meaning Leftists
confuse paleo-conservative values with right-wing fascist corporate
statists
like Reagan, Bush,
and Clinton, et. al.
Well-meaning Conservatives confuse Leftist
values with Communism.
Joseph Stalin instituted a bad dictatorship in
Soviet Russia in the
fractured shell of the Bolshevik revolution. This is said to
prove the failure of communism, a.k.a. the end of struggle for freedom
from oppression.
One could
argue on the same basis that the American system itself is a failure
proven by the existence of George W. Bush in the White House.
Democratic and Republican Globalists occupying the seat of power really
means that democracy was hijacked, not that it's inherently bad.
Some who argue in at
least partial defense of Stalin and Lenin say that governments and
movements under siege and at war for survival always must suppress
democratic leanings in favor of a solid front of self-defense, and that
the cause of Soviet totalitarianism was the 70-year assault by a
coalition of western powers committed to stamping out this example of
independent workers cooperatively running a country.
Good-hearted
paleo-Conservatives call political leaders like Franklin Delano
Roosevelt "a Socialist", while in
actuality FDR was a member of a blue-blood artistocrat
dynasty who instituted mild liberal
mitigations (reforms) ONLY (or
mostly) as a compromise with radical
and empowered
labor activism (which
also shielded capitalists from more direct labor activism and upset,
via strict
mediation
requirements) (coupled
with some anti-freedom trojan horses or "balloon payments" for workers).
For example, the fact that
FDR instituted mild banking
regulations on the rampant
speculation which caused the 1930's Great Depression, does not make FDR a
Socialist. That FDR instituted other protections for working
people via his "New Deal" reforms, some government-mediated economic
safety nets mostly paid for by workers instead of by capitalist
employers, does not make FDR a
Socialist.
The fact that regulatory boards were overrun and
co-opted by corporate powers may have been an "escape hatch"
intentionally installed by Roosevelt, but probably he either did not
forsee that all his genuine reforms and protections would be undone, or
more likely that this was the most he could politically get away with.
In reality, Soviet Russia was much
like a giant labor union, which had
it's own problems of bureaucracy and corruption, and a mostly
illiterate public, but corruption (as well as economic disparity) in
the USSR was a pale shadow compared to "legalized" corruption in modern
America.
Statement
of basic economic principles tied to 9-11 (esp.
for
conservatives)
Corporate
Personhood
- A human being is a person which
was created by one Creator
-- according
to our Declaration -- and therefore
inherently endowed with
certain Inalienable Rights. Everyone knows that those rights
include Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. (This is not a
religious opinion, it's a key
principle in our founding documents.) (Many
world
political leaders have tried to copy this, including "communist" Ho Chi
Minh.)
- A Corporation is a
"person"
which was
created by Lawyers.
- How is it that the lawyer-version has been judged to be
superior to
and entitled to more Liberty and
more protection than the Creator-version of a "person"? Lawyers and judges have slowly re-made
corporations into omnipotent "gods". Perversely,
most right
wing Christians and
Jews do not recognize this as a violation of God's 3rd Commandment
given to Moses. That would be inconvenient.
- Ironically for
"arch-conservatives", it was "Activist Lawyers" who made Corporations = Persons, a huge
breakthrough of nearly 100
years of precedent-setting lawsuits and bribery, to
eliminate The People's Sovereign control over these
"legal
contracts", giving them unrestricted
power
to eradicate
any and all
obstacles to
wealth accumulation ... including
human life and liberty. Some call this a Betrayal
of Adam Smith.
The "welfare state" came about as
a cheap and temporary "fix" to mitigate this crime, and to neutralize
public opposition to rule-by-wealth, or plutocracy.
one
of the better
artcles on corporate personhood, created by lawyers and judges, which
the National Lawyers Guild rejects:
The notion of
"corporate
personhood" was adopted by the Supreme Court under very dubious
circumstances, when a court
reporter used the term in a head note he
created for an 1886 Court decision that actually declined to address
the issue. (The case was Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific
Railroad Co., 118 U.S. 394.)
In a later
1889
case, Minneapolis & St. Louis Railway Company (129 U.S. 26), Justice
Field cited Santa Clara as holding that corporations are
persons, and that inaccurate notion of Santa Clara's holding
remains
today. Nonetheless, other Supreme Court decisions support the opposite
view. ...
The consequences
of
corporate personhood are not trivial. Jerry Mander writes in his
book In the Absence of
the Sacred:
"Not being human, not having feelings,
corporations do not have morals or altruistic goals."
A nonhuman entity that cannot possess
morals is certainly not fit to be granted equal standing with a person.
Indeed, granting amoral entities so-called equal rights with persons,
which because of corporations' great wealth and power become greater
rights, is so
irrational it ought to
be considered a kind of insanity.
- The fact
that small businesses can also incorporate creates a deceptive paradigm of
mass acceptance of this arrangement, which in the long view
does crushes small business "rodents" while protecting transnational
(foreign) financial and industrial giants mostly owned by a narrow
aristocracy.
- The
latest in an
ongoing series of scams is the "international
trade treaty" which
overrides what few Sovereign Laws of the
People remain intact, an assault on historical conservative and liberal values
concerned with human Liberty.
- Our United
States government has not been
"stolen" by the
Globalists, by
the New World Order, by
transnationals, multinationals,
by billionaire
financial speculators ... it was BOUGHT,
individually
and collectively, by a miniscule class or network of billionaires and
robber-barons adept at arranging government influence to facilitate
these scams, a self-feeding system. Not
to imply we
were not also defrauded by robber-barons.
- Favorable
legislation, executive orders, and judicial decisions are now nothing
more
than purchasable commodities. What makes this "corruption"
is that our
government was NEVER intended to be put up for sale.
This pattern is one key
essence of fascism.
- As the march goes on, our sacred
Constitution has been rendered the moral equivalent of toilet paper.
Political debates rarely reference it, even in terms of possible
deviation from it. It has been ignored and renedered moot, or
bastardized by hundreds of intellectual flights of fancy similar to the
Santa Clara decsion above.
- This website covers it pretty
well, with numbers: http://www.welfarestate.com/
- I
completely disagree with some conservatives libertarians that this line
of
thinking must follow that government should never check or regulate
business, corporations, or commerce. Corporations can also be
licensed to exist, but they need the choke
chain they originally
were tied to -- they should not run free in society any more than
should a wild carnivorous animal in a city. If not chained by govt,
they must be chained by workers.
- As
Adam Smith said, in some (mythical) perfect freedom,
markets could provide maximum Liberty, but that was before modern
Corporate Capitalism took root. Corporate tyranny
IS completely disruptive to all social order. If Barry couldn't see that in the
60's he can be forgiven, but if
anyone can't see that NOW, they have
their head up their ass.
