Modern Political Power</A>
-----
The establishment configures society so that there are many examples of
behavior that produces both reward and punishment, accompanied by directly
conflicting propaganda. For example, euphoric drug use is promoted explicitly
and implicitly by dramatic and comedic programs distributed by mass media,
but in non-fictional settings the mass media demonizes non-prescription
psychoactive drug use, and of course the War on Drugs makes drug use both
medically and legally dangerous. Psychoactives lend themselves particularly
well to this tactic, since they are inherently contradictory - their use is
rewarded directly through chemical action on the brain, but is punished
directly by producing morbidity.
A starker but less dramatic example is the contradictory promotion and
demonization of independent thought and action. The 1990 movie Pump Up the
Volume directly promoted so-called pirate radio (unlicensed micropower
amateur transmission on the broadcast bands), but national authorities (the
FCC, US Marshals, FBI, etc.) routinely conduct armed raids on these
transmission facilities. In yet another obvious example of cultivated
contradiction, the state operates lotteries and, through the mass media,
promotes them, but also operates programs that seek to cure people of
gambling problems, and indeed sometimes produce or sponsor propaganda that
demonizes gambling. In a spectacular inconsistency, the state punishes those
who operate or participate in lotteries that differ from the states' only in
that they are not operated by and for the pecuniary benefit of the state. The
effect of these systems is to tear the unwary apart mentally.
Through a torrential, pervasive, orchestrated campaign of mental assaults, a
propensity to embrace the irrational in general, and novel religion in
particular, is manufactured among a population made desperate and hopeless. A
religion has been designed and is being refined and promulgated by minions of
the same establishment leaders who orchestrate the campaign of assaults. It
is called Maitreyanism, very loosely based upon Buddhist principles and
mythology, and it is extraordinarily evil even for a religion. Moral
relativism is a crucial enabler for subsequent religious indoctrination,
since its adherents discard the moral and cognitive absolutes which are an
individual's preeminent mechanism of defense against the madness of religion.
Because only people of autonomous aptitude and reasoned principle are
equipped to resist psychomanipulation, blackmail, reputation assassination,
bribery, and enticement to vice, they and their principles are particularly
under incessant multifaceted siege. Moreover, society incessantly pressures
and incentivizes its members to involve themselves in corruption - to
participate in economic processes that wreak havoc on the environment and on
disfranchised sectors of the citizenry, to lie, to abuse the legal system, to
betray friends and neighbors, all with a view to fostering guilt and the
camaraderie of the corrupt, and annihilating self-respect and the possibility
of adherence to personal principle. The income tax system, combined with the
breathtaking campaign of evil the US government pursues, means that anyone
who earns a living is either a party to evil and corruption (unwittingly,
grudgingly, or willingly), or a tax evader exposed to the real possibility of
deprivation of property or incarceration and its concomitant gruesome risks
and degradation. The effect of all of this is to deprive people of their
humanity and endow them with the morality of animals - which is to say,
deprive them of morality in toto.
Systems of subsidized employment - most obviously, so-called affirmative
action - are appealing to the establishment because the beneficiaries of the
policies are beholden to the system, realizing that they have not fully
earned their position through aptitude for the task at issue. These are
Hegelian systems within which characteristics wholly unrelated to aptitude,
and arbitrarily designated by the establishment, influence who works in what
position. In fact, at some level, the beneficiaries feel beholden
specifically to the establishment. This system, obviously, is very appealing
to the establishment.
The public's perception of the world is manipulated not through the
fabrication of news, but through selective omission, the staging of events,
psychomanipulative fiction, and consuming distractions (spectator sports et
al.). Moreover, in terms of production values, the signals propagated by the
mass media are so whipped and blended and contoured that they are utterly
unreal - this describes the rigid formats that uniformly dominate commercial
and corporate radio broadcasting, the linguistic and conceptual style of
establishment print media, all the movies showing in a typical cinema, the
on-the-record presentations of major politicians and bureaucrats, and of
course, very nearly every second of television broadcast or cablecast.
The establishment employs the full palette of their political control
apparatus, in a grand public works project to transform the popular mind. The
final consequence of this campaign is that ordinary people dedicate the bulk
of their mental energy to the apprehension of the desires of the
establishment, and the bulk of their action to the fulfillment of those
desires. In this frightening, eager yet stealthy obedience, people abdicate
their individuality and become automatons devoid of reasoned discrimination
and consistency. They vote for the candidates they think the establishment
wants them to vote for. They spend and invest their money the way they think
the establishment wants them to. Subconsciously, this ``intelligent
obedience'' is declarative reality. This secret is hiding inside the mind of
every mainstream conformist American.
Establishment leaders have organized the establishment into a cryptic
hierarchy, in which most people - particularly including those in the
establishment - do not know where the top of the power pyramid is. This tends
to protect those at the apex from those who would dismantle the system, but
perhaps even more importantly, it throws off the trail those who seek to
occupy the apex themselves. There are very few indeed among the whole lot of
aggressive climbers of corporate and bureaucratic ladders who understands
what and where the apex really is.
To protect their capacity to operate under the radar of popular awareness,
the establishment promotes and encourages the impression of a linkage between
themselves and an encyclopedia of conspiratorial absurdities. In this way,
many of the people who might otherwise provide a reasoned account of the
identities and methods of the establishment are bamboozled, and wind up
sounding like, or in fact being, lunatics.
In particular, stories of establishment involvement with extraterrestrial
visitors and paranormal phenomena thwart the efforts of many to distinguish
the real from the fictitious. Chris Carter's ``X Files'' and ``Millennium''
are inheritors of a prodigious legacy of programs that encourage this
confusion. More than simply acting as intellectual equivalents of radar
chaffe and heat flares, these programs deflect blame to an unaccountable and
incomprehensible ``other.'' Since this type of paranoid conspiratorial
pseudscience horror programming is naturally appealing to some writers and
producers, the establishment need only covertly grease the path to assure
some of this programming is budgeted and distributed for maximum effect. In
the particular case of Chris Carter's shows, the involvement is more direct:
whether or not Carter and his writers understand the connection, his shows
dramatize conspiracy myths promulgated by heretofore fringe organizations
that are funded by Laurance Rockefeller (David's brother, the only other
survivor of the ``Fortunate Five'' Rockefeller brothers).

Organizationally, businesses no longer center on such activities as design,
production, and sales (i.e., the creation and dissemination of wealth).
Instead, a typical business today is an organization whose apex mission is to
scam the rest of the economy into redistributing money (i.e., influence) to
it, by whatever means works and is within the means of the organization.

And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have
been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an
arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say
good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example
in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not
simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the
down-stairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they
had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an
ambush of a half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else
was at hand? After all, you knew ahead of time that those bluecaps were out
at night for no good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that you'd
be cracking the skull of a cutthroat. Or what about the Black Maria sitting
out there on the street with one lonely chauffeur - what if it had been
driven off of or its tires spiked? The Organs would very quickly have
suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of
Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt.
If .... if... We didn't love freedom enough. And even more - we had no
awareness of the real situation. We spent ourselves in one unrestrained
outburst in 1917, and then we hurried to submit. We submitted with pleasure!
(Arthur Ransome describes a workers' meeting in Yaroslavi in 1921. Delegates
sent to the workers from the Central Committee in Moscow to confer on the
substance of the argument about trade unions. The representative of the
opposition, Y. Larin, explained to the workers that their trade union must be
their defense against the administration, that they possessed rights which
they had won and upon which no one else had any right to infringe. The
workers, however, were completely indifferent, simply not comprehending whom
they still needed to be defended against and why they still needed any
rights. When the spokesman for the Party line rebuked them for their laziness
and for getting out of hand, and demanded sacrifices from them - overtime
work without pay, reductions in food, military discipline in the factory
administration - this aroused great elation and applause.) We purely and
simply deserved everything that happened afterward.

>From The Gulag Archipelago (1973) p.13, by Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn business
identifies is almost invariably a plan to weave itself into the existing
economic architecture, in such a way that they are made inextricable to the
business of others, yet add little or no wealth to the economy. Microsoft is
a preeminent realization of this strategy of economic manipulation and
interposition. The institution of the franchise is another.
The expenditures of a typical member of the public fall into four categories:
(1) taxation, by which wealth is assigned to the state within various
extortive regimes (this includes Social Security), (2) material subsistence
and means of earning, including food, utilities, housing/mortgage/rent,
automotive, insurance (often extortive), etc., (3) frivolous luxuries and
indulgences, including resort vacations, dining in expensive restaurants,
extravagant entertainment and recreation equipment and facilities, etc., and
(4) donations, often to one of the establishment's strategic foundations or
organizations, often to charities that diffuse wealth among the poor (i.e.,
in a manner which is irrelevant to the exercise of power), and almost
invariably to one, the other, or both. When a member of the public invests
wealth in government bonds, he delegates control over that wealth to the
state. When he invests in the stock market, he delegates control to
corporations. When he invests in managed funds, he delegates control to
financiers. When he deposits money in checking and savings accounts, he
delegates control to bankers. In a wide variety of settings, he delegates
control to lawyers.
The inconsistencies that characterize the fiscal mindset of the ordinary
American are many and grave. Americans widely distrust and resent taxes, the
state, corporations, financiers, bankers, lawyers, and the mass media, yet
they engage in behavior that perpetuates and amplifies their extent and
power. They tolerate or support the bell-ringers who collect money ostensibly
slated for distribution to, and perpetuation of dependency among, those who
have not earned it and will not likely make of it anything good, believing
(without thinking) that the bell-ringer wields a towering moral authority.
But the same person who drops a dollar into the charity can would not likely
consider dropping a dollar into the can of a towering but starving
intellectual dissident, even though he recognizes the effectiveness of the
dissident, agrees with his views and objectives (particularly, diminution of
taxes and of the corruption and oppressive power of the state, corporations,
financiers, bankers, lawyers, and the mass media), and thus has a personal
interest in materially assisting him. Often, he reflexively condemns those
who want to be paid for doing serious dissident political work, calling them
``sell-outs'' and other such invectives. The good at heart, apparently, are
expected to be bluntly superhuman. He asks, rhetorically, what he will
receive in exchange for his payment, knowing full well - at least if he gives
it a moment's thought - that he will receive the material and emotional
advantages bestowed by the activities of the dissident, which are almost
surely worth far more to him than is the money that could constitute a
contribution. On the other hand, he knows he will receive nothing whatever in
exchange for his payment to the Salvation Army or other such charities, but
he does not consider that this impairs the virtuosity or rationality of the
donation - likely because he has not given it any serious thought.
All those who oppose the establishment agenda and want to see changes, and
who control wealth (wield influence) in excess of that necessary for the
maintenance of a comfortable and sufficient lifestyle, but who fail to
exercise that wealth (influence) in a manner likely to bring about those
changes, are unwitting co-conspirators. By their actions, they help to assure
that those who dedicate themselves to bringing about those changes become
destitute. Thus, they help to assure that these dissidents are broken and
themselves made to serve the establishment, choosing biological survival as
slaves or establishment minions, over death by starvation, hypothermia, or
trauma. These are the stakes, this is the system. If those who are
financially able to, do not assign wealth to those dissidents who have the
potential to precipitate positive change, then most of those dissidents will
eventually become evil, often as criminals or servants of the establishment,
accelerating the spiral toward the demise of civilization. Brilliant
dissidents who are left in abject poverty cannot but recognize the
ambivalence and insincerity of the public, even of its most supportive
members, and therefore grow disgusted and cynical. Being finally forced to
choose among death, corruption (attaining monetary and material prosperity
through criminality, or by working with the establishment and using their
tactics), and slavery (as a burger flipper, a ditch digger, a grocery bagger,
or even a software engineer), most become members of the establishment
themselves, often maintaining for themselves the delusion that they have not
succumbed.

Members of the establishment are sometimes called ``shadows.'' This term is
appropriate, not because the members are anonymous or secreted away in hidden
lairs (they are not), but because they exercise their control so subtly that
they are as hard to hold accountable, and their handiwork as hard to
recognize, as shadows. It is well to observe that the Central Intelligence
Agency and other intelligence community components are engines of conspiracy.
Espionage, insurgency, and covert action in general, are treasonous
conspiracies from the perspective of the target nation (whose laws are
broken), and counterintelligence is little more than the art of concealing
and camouflaging these conspiracies. The regimented systemic
compartmentalization endemic to the intelligence community is perfectly
suited to conspiratorial strategem. That the intelligence community with its
Rothschild and Rockefeller ancestry (partly by way of the Nazi intelligence
apparatus) is central to the establishment program is emphatically unsurprisin
g.
The establishment orchestrates changes in laws to suit its intentions as
regularly as it breaks laws outright. It is fluid, changing its boundaries to
include or exclude people and ideas as dictated by establishment leadership,
most of whose names are not secret, just largely unacknowledged. In fact, the
establishment is first and foremost a collection of ideas, and any individual
within the establishment is disposable.
Fundamentally, the establishment is driven by fear, power lust, malice, and
Thanatos, seeking nothing but the consolidation and perpetuation of the power
structure they command, in terminal pursuit of total order. In the process,
they seek, among other nefarious goals, to transmogrify the constitutional
government of the United States into a fascistic oligarchy, by inexorable
increments. The core of the establishment pursues world hegemony partly as a
game for their titillation and amusement.
One might wonder how it is that this degenerate vein of humanity has attained
a position of such influence in human affairs the world over. Indeed, this
vein runs back for many millennia. The answer is straightforward. These
degenerates pursue purely Hegelian objectives, within a purely Hegelian
operating system. Their influence is entirely a matter of appearances.
Serious individuals - and there is not a serious individual among the whole
of the establishment - simply do not concern themselves with Hegelian
rubbish. Serious individuals commune with reality on its own terms, avoiding
intermediaries whenever possible. Serious individuals do the thing itself,
whatever that thing may be, with little regard for the opinions of others on
the matter. Serious individuals thus appear less influential but are in fact
more influential (because the things they build are real and robust under the
pressure of universal physical principles), and the establishment - the
degenerate power brokers - appear more influential but are in fact less so
(because the things they cause to be built are corrupt and collapse under the
pressure of universal physical principles).
It is my hope that by laying bare the agenda, strategy, tactics, and
operational particulars of these power brokers, the reader will recognize and
gain immunity to their propaganda, and be emboldened to fight them, to
conceive and implement novel counterstrikes, to undermine their power base,
to hurl them from their thrones, to make the world hostile for the power
brokers and a sanctum for freedom lovers and innovators. It is also my hope
that those readers who oppose evil will come to recognize and condemn the
habitual accomodation of evil that is the mainstay of the popular mindset.
