Subject: Re: Occult (Secret) Technology of Commercial Imperialism or Business Collectivism?

Dear Lloyd:
Several more thoughts come to mind. First, one can see parallel developments of socialized corporations in Japan, in which commercial groups which later became zaibatsu such as Mitsui and Mitsubishi were already active during Tokugawa times.
    Secondly, I'm surprised that you didn't mention the Knights Templar as a possible antecedent of the East India Company. They were bankers and financiers and settled in the British Isles following their persecution by Phillip Augustus in France.
 
Lloyd Responds:  I think the connection is this....the Knights Templar was basically a continental secret society with ties to the Middle East dating from the Crusades.   No doubt well connected to the commerical imperialism of Venice.  After Philip looted the Knights (killing the goose the lays the golden eggs?) the remnants of the Knight fled to Scotland where it transformed itself into Masonry and was taken-over by the British Crown at the time of the Glorious Revolution.  Can't prove it yet, but I'll bet that the power in the East India Company were 100% Masons within a few decades of the Glorious Revolution.
 
An aside...to often researchers are thrown off by the difference between English and Continental Masonry.  Nonsense!  In England, the King's secret society supports "his" government.  On the continent it seeks to destroy his enemies!....ie, the Pope and the Most Catholic Monarchs of Spain, France, and Austria!

    And thirdly, the socializing tendencies of capitalism were quite obvious to Karl Marx, who saw capitalism as a neccesary step from feudalism to socialism and ultimately communism. According to Marx, capitalists would be constrained to merge their enterprises into monopolies which would be under pressure to squeeze workers still further. Capitalists read Marx and took it to heart.(  They still do; perhaps it takes a capitalist to slog through all three volumes of Das Kapital). They related to his diagnosis and his prognosis and took steps to adapt to it.
all the best
