Individualism has gone, never to return.'' ``I want to own nothing and control everything.'' ``Competition is a sin.'' -John Davison Rockefeller I, born 1839-July-18, died 1937-May-23 Introduction Table of Contents Exposition The Establishment by Name Crushing America in Brief A Theory The Hegelian Dialectic A Litany of Tactics The Establishment Revisited World Government Background Reading Further Introductory Reading Introductory Quotations This is the story of America's death by a thousand cuts. It is not the story of America; it is not the whole story; it is simply an unlimited hangout of a nefarious plot: a deciphering of the events of the Twentieth Century, revealing a national security strategy of self-immolation. America's domination of modern innovation is a consequence of precisely those trends and processes this nefarious plot seeks to undermine. As always, the establishment hopes to perpetuate its position of privilege by holding back the tectonic drift of culture, and in so doing they make the seismic cataclysm of revolution inevitable. Exposition The United States is the world's oldest surviving nation, insofar as it is the first constitutionally founded nation, and the birthplace of modern civilization. Many key chapters in the book of history have opened here, and most of those that opened elsewhere have already closed. The world now dances to an American beat, a beat that is oldest here where it began. America is the first of the modern representative republics, and the birthplace of federal regionalization. It is the pioneer of the assembly line, the age of electricity, the skyscraper, the age of the airplane and helicopter, the nuclear age, the television age, the computer age, and the networking age, all of which are key components of the global status quo. The United States is the most important nation in the history of the planet, but it is weary and battered, from burning brightly, but more, from suffering the slings and arrows of those it has frightened and of those who have sought to domesticate it. The United States is at the leading edge of a downward spiral of morale and reason that will likely end in the spastic, catastrophic collapse of civilization. The United States can also be the first to start anew, better, stronger, wiser. America is no longer a functioning constitutional representative democracy, and its failure is due not to a natural decay of its citizens, but to the manipulations of the establishment. They are transforming America, and the world, into a giant steel trap that springs when, where, and how they desire. Moreover, American society in particular has been transformed into a small collection of massive cults - plus myriad smaller ones - through a complex campaign of marginalization. This social fragmentation is uncanny. Prominent examples of American cults are the environmentalist extremists, the animal rights extremists, the pro-life cult, the centralist-statist-authoritarian cult (which includes the near entirety of the government bureaucracy, and much of the law enforcement and military communities), the entitlement cult (addictees of food stamps, welfare payments, tort awards, favoritism through so-called affirmative action, etc. - lawyers are prominent in this cult), the fundamentalist American protestant Christians (e.g. the Promise Keepers), the GOP cult, the Farrakhan cult, the crypto-national-socialist populists (e.g. Pat Buchanan and Lenora Fulani), the Scientologists, the Moonies, the Mormons, the feminist cult, the Randites, union labor, the white power / white separatist movement, the Clintonites, the DNC, the Wall Street (and day trader) cult, the soccer mom cult (closely related to the centralist-statist-authoritarian cult), the metacult (e.g. Subgenii), and on and on so that most of the population is consumed. What these and the rest of the nation's cults have in common is that they are founded on false premises (indeed, are constructed within a Hegelian epistemology, and in most cases, exhibit a Hegelian power structure), and left to their own devices certainly fail in time (as any competent system dynamicist can demonstrate). America possesses, or possessed, a potent combination: 1. a constitution recognizing, for each individual citizen, freedom of speech, of assembly, and of armament, the right to fair and impartial treatment before the law, and sovereign private property rights 2. a vast military and economic might 3. a citizenry that is habitually inventive, to an economically disruptive degree Thus America is, or was, uniquely problematic for the establishment. (1) and (3) are simply contrary to their perceived interests, as will be explained in much greater detail below, and (2) makes control of America of paramount importance to them simply in order to safeguard their hegemony. America is thus a distinguished target in their machinations. * Conspiracy research and analysis is evidently an important component of power structure research and analysis. History has vital prosopographic elements, many hidden, and the organization of this establishment indeed constitutes a conspiracy. The vagaries of individuals prominent in the establishment have broad effects that echo through history. History also has vital structuralist and functionalist elements, many misunderstood or ignored, and the phenomena that frustrate and eventually defeat the machinations of the establishment are inevitable consequences of the unpredictable and diffuse wellspring of humanity. The geneses of many of the cultural veins addressed in my treatment are predominantly the consequence of the natural cultural evolution of this unpredictable and diffuse wellspring, but as soon as a vein becomes politically significant, the establishment starts meddling with it. The establishment program is not quite a traditional conspiracy. Like many, its members do not all know each other, have sometimes conflicting conceptions of what is to be done, and have sometimes conflicting agendas. >From here, the distinctions mount. It is a largely ``open'' conspiracy, in that much of its membership, structure, methods, and operations, are matters of public record, however scattered and obscure. Its manner of coordination is atypical. Two nuclei - the core of the Wall Street clique (orbiting the House of Rockefeller) and the core of the European financial clique (orbiting the House of Rothschild) - coordinate the global establishment program by waging psychological warfare on the rest of the establishment, telling each member no more than is necessary for him to fulfill his envisioned role, often with explicit recognition neither of his role, nor of the unarticulated rules that govern him. Thus, the overwhelming bulk of the establishment does not know, but only suspects, that it is part of and in service to ``a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it'' (quoting Woodrow Wilson). About the Editor I am an independent system architect and system analyst. Starting before my teens, I habitually practiced evolutionary systematical analysis (deducing the advantages bestowed by organismic adaptations) as a thought exercise. In the first half of the 1990s, as an undergraduate at MIT, I was occupied with distributed computing software architecture including applied cryptography, artificial intelligence including machine understanding of human language, and cognitive science including functional neuroanatomy (brain architecture) and abnormal psychology. Since then, I have continued my work on distributed computing system architecture and cognitive science. I have also trained myself in law, sociology, semiotics, economics, political science, and military science, and have been applying the methodology of the system architect and analyst to the morally imperative task of reforming civilization. Beyond the general systems perspective, my principal perspectives are those of the phenomenologist and the evolutionary psychologist. I was born in 1972 in Connecticut, and my schooling before MIT was predominantly government-operated. Since 1995 I have been an ovo-lacto vegetarian. I am a deist in the 18th century sense, and am an erisian (by which I mean, an adherent of the premise that chaos is part and parcel of life, health, and prosperity). I am the founder of Innovism, and an uncompromising proponent of its full and pure implementation. About the Compilation When there's fire in a crowded theater, it is well to shout ``fire,'' especially if no one else seems to notice the fire. Here I stand, shouting ``FIRE!'' This is not a drill. As William S. Burroughs said (in a short spoken word piece tracked on a Ministry CD single), ``There is nowhere else to go. The theater is global.'' There is no flight, there is only fight. With sufficient patience and attentional investment, any intelligent and reasonable person can reach a thorough understanding of these topics as I have presented them. My purpose is to clue in reasonable people who already know there is something wrong, and aspire to help fix it, but heretofore have wanted for the details and architecture of the wrong. This site is neither intended nor designed to sway the thinking of those who believe there is nothing seriously wrong with the status quo or with current trends, nor is it intended or designed to sway earnest and fervent adherents of any religion. Such people are almost certainly beyond redemption - being manifestly unreasonable - and I encourage them not to waste their time or mine, unless and until their faith has unravelled. This site is furthermore neither intended nor designed to sway the thinking of committed nihilists, fatalists, and in general, people who firmly believe the lot of the virtuous is hopeless. This is not a remedial treatment, and I am not a medic of the soul. If my writings do sway the blind, the faithful, or the hopeless, I am of course gratified. But I do not expect them to be swayed, and I cannot and will not absolve them of their frailty. I show no more mercy in my judgement than does nature itself - which is to say, none at all. Though most of my hypotheses are proven directly with contemporary sources that command popular respect (for what it's worth..), some of the composite hypotheses are proven using a systems methodology. Obviously, the broadest hypotheses require integration of those constituent hypotheses proven directly. At any rate, all of my assertions are accompanied by specific and compelling evidence within the body of the compilation, and most of them - particularly, those that conflict with the popular mindset - are supported many times over. I have spent thousands of hours composing this vast opus - researching, writing, and editing. It contains a great deal of information, in the form of essays, press articles, reference material, and a small selection of books. Much of this is information that influential people and organizations - principally, the subjects of the compilation - do not want you to have access to. Though they have not yet found a way to prevent you from receiving this information, they will surely keep trying. In light of this, I strongly recommend that readers with a serious interest make local copies of as much of the compilation as possible. The current total size is 182MB, plus an additional 320MB in the related (and access controlled) CBR-D and Special Operations field manual libraries. The schemes, trends, and phenomena documented herein are also immediately relevant to Britain, the European Union, and Australia, and these intimately interrelated regions are directly and often extensively covered throughout. When the treatment is US-centric, it is because this is more interesting and accessible to me, though not coincidentally this focus is also reflective of the distribution of political, economic, and military power in the world. Regions outside Western Europe, North America, and Australia, are necessarily treated with less depth, and typically only when they are implicated in machinations that affect these primary regions. Russia and China in particular receive attention. My treatment should group Japan with North America and Western Europe and give it substantial coverage, since its cultural and economic circumstance is characteristic of this group, but Japan is as yet almost completely ignored. Some readers are aware that this site used to be called www-douzzer.ai.mit.edu. Originally, the server was physically located in a machine room in MIT's AI lab. With a change of personnel and policy, I had to remove it. For a time, the name was set to forward queries to my machine at its new location. Without warning, this forwarding was removed in early February 2000. Correspondents often voice concern for my physical safety, or indeed wonder that I am still breathing. I am still alive, and moderately prosperous by common measures, because (1) most of my adversaries do not recognize in my writings a plausible threat to their hegemony, (2) I do not advocate the overthrow of the establishment oligarchy, or of the government in particular, through aggression, or indeed through unlawful action or violence of any sort, but rather predict the collapse of the establishment, and constituent and associated institutions, as a logical consequence of an eventual en masse refusal of the productive to produce (either ideas or physical constructions) under the terms and circumstances imposed on them by the establishment, (3) I avoid fame and shun positions of leadership, (4) I do not myself go out and snoop around for evidence of corruption and criminality, but instead simply report on the evidence already openly published by others, and I have no secrets that might be buried with me, (5) any persecution singling myself out would draw exponentially more attention to my writings, a prospect with devastating consequences for my adversaries, and (6) my web site's existence is an inescapable fact, always published under my real and full (and unique) name, and mirrored by dozens of people around the world. There is no way to suppress it. I invite comments, corrections, and correspondence with those who share my interests. Contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here is my PGP 2.2 key. The establishment leaders' vision is to transform world political and legal reality so that the historic role of the nation-state is played by largely sovereign transnational corporate trusts, to which nation-states are subordinate. Their envisioned seat of world government is not a United Nations but a United Trusts, a transnational oligarchy ruling from behind closed doors. This is the role for which Bilderberg fancies itself suited. Revealing this rather directly, David Rockefeller (in Newsweek International, 1999-Feb-1) said ``[...] somebody has to take governments' place, and business seems to me to be a logical entity to do it.'' In order to empower a global banking, regulatory, and managerial infrastructure, they cultivate economic interdependence at scales from the household to the multinational region, to a degree that cannot be justified by appeal to efficiency or profit advantages. Speaking at the Business Council for the United Nations, on September 14, 1994, Rockefeller said ``But this present window of opportunity, during which a truly peaceful and interdependent world order might be built, will not be open for long. Already there are powerful forces at work that threaten to destroy all of our hopes and efforts to erect an enduring structure of global interdependence.'' Indeed, the organization's quarterly publication is called The InterDependent, and indeed, such forces are at work, and will eventually prevail. Central to the vision is the economic and eugenical regimentation of world society. The plan, in summary, is paternalistic, feudalistic, oligarchical, techno-industrial world government. Most Bilderberg affiliates of record pursue this agenda unwittingly, and were it laid out for them clearly and concisely, they would find it congenial in most of its aspects. The most dreadful aspects of the vision - eugenical regimentation and feudalism - are not explicit or conscious Bilderberg programs, but instead are consciously pursued only by the nuclei of the establishment - the houses of Rothschild and Rockefeller. The establishment's vision is substantially implemented, in each of its facets, today. They now seek only to make their control more precise and complete, its exercise less unwieldy and risk-laden, and its instruments and infrastructure more permanent and unchallengeable. Committees are a central feature of establishment organization, and committees were a particularly ascendant feature of power structure in the twentieth century. There are all sorts, some rather recent inventions, others dating to antiquity. Legislatures, juries, panels of justices, and the whole of the voting citizenry, are all committees described in the US Constitution. Executive commissions and panels, such as the Federal Communications Commission, Federal Trade Commission, Securities and Exchange Commission, Federal Election Commission, Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Federal Reserve Board of Governors and associated Federal Open Market Committee (which are actually an especially innovative type of committee, comprising state and non-state members) are another type of committee, a type invented in the twentieth century. Industry councils that consider, adopt, and promulgate standards, such as the International Standards Organization and American National Standards Institute, are another important type of committee popularized in the twentieth century. In the eighteenth century, a pivotal type of committee was incepted: the corporate board of directors. This type of committee ascended to dominance in the nineteenth century. In the nineteenth century, the multinational multilateral multisectorial council of dominant personages was incepted, and it ascended to dominance in the twentieth century, with the incorporation of the Council on Foreign Relations and Royal Institute for International Affairs, and eventually, of Bilderberg. Committee organization serves the purposes of the establishment as follows: * Dissent is squelched by the law of large numbers. * Activists are pacified by the (often mistaken) sense that they have exerted influence, and that there is nothing more to be done. * Arenas are created wherein unadorned and immediate peer pressure encourages the enshrinement of consensus, coordinating action, with dominant members positioned to veto undesirable consensus, so that the will of the dominant members is implemented without their issuing explicit or accountable orders or proclamations, and without the sense that there is a corporeal center to the will imposed on the members. * The accountability of any individual member is reduced, and the actual command hierarchy is camouflaged. Dominant members largely sidestep vulnerability to direct attack, and in many cases, can more freely exercise authority to their own ends. * Dominant members gather intelligence on the stances of other members, and on those they are responsible for or represent. * Organizational change and action are retarded, which with the aforementioned intelligence, allows dominant members of the establishment to anticipate political events, and exploit or protect against them through more agile non-committee channels. * The continuity of the status quo power structure is safeguarded by redundancy and fault tolerance. Many of these common features of the committee system are clear weaknesses. Some of its gravest weakness are immediate corollaries of the features enumerated above. In particular, the squelching of dissent tends to squelch vital wisdom. Most members of committees sport pedestrian intellects or hidebound outlooks, and are distrustful of and frightened by the small minority that alone has the intellectual and psychological wherewithal to anticipate, prepare for, and surmount through inventive strategy, rare or unprecedented contingencies (particularly those with a broad macroeconomic or sociological character). This phenomenon can be seen in its logical extreme in the establishment's unshaken dedication to their vision (paternalistic, feudalistic, oligarchical, techno-industrial world government), implicitly or explicitly rejecting the dissenting wisdom enumerated in this document. * The establishment protects its interests by cultivating public indifference and incredulity, or outright endorsement of an operational facet (manufacturing consent through the media-democracy engine), as regularly as by conspiratorial secrecy, skullduggery, and foul play. Feeling insulted, and often sensing impending humiliation and mental bankruptcy, the indoctrinated public rejects the revelations of wise dissenters. The establishment employs an old and effective method: lead others to error, then exploit their errors. In a market, any time a participant systematically errs - systematically deviates from pure self-interest - another participant who identifies that pattern of error can profit from it. Expanding this principle to the world stage, the establishment works tirelessly to lead people to systematically abandon self-interest, so that it can profit from their error. This collection of essays and articles can be viewed as a documentary of the errors of the establishment, and it is part of my program t o exploit these errors, hastening the extinction of the establishment. The establishment initiates cultural trends, and fosters behaviors, through three principal mechanisms: (1) by the mass media, which displays (with actual and fictional positive and negative examples) and defines (with humor and commentary) desired behavior, and creates the expectation that conformers will be socially and economically rewarded and deviants penalized, (2) by the education system, which explicitly and implicitly inculcates beliefs, thought patterns, and behaviors, in people during their formative years, and (3) by the visible social and economic hierarchies of society, through which behaviors are propagated through transitivity of authority. The manner in which the mass media and the education system instill behaviors is discussed extensively below. The manner in which social and economic hierarchies do so is fairly straightforward. The visible establishment councils are subjected to the behavior of nuclear (core) establishment leaders such as David Rockefeller, who either deliberately cultivate or involuntarily exhibit the behavior. The behaviors of nuclear establishment members such as Rockefeller are often directed by nuclear intellectuals such as Henry Kissinger; thus often it is the intellectual who is at the apex of the pyramid. Those in subordinate positions emulate those in higher positions, completely aside from any explicit directives. In particular, systems of reward and punishment are emulated. Banking hierarchies are highly formalized, and propagate behavioral directives by extending loans to the compliant and withholding them from the deviant. Moreover, the Federal Reserve (the central banking apparatus of the United States) has the authority to remove any banking officer that it determines to be non-compliant. Finally, the state legal system is the definitive authoritarian hierarchy of behavior coercion. The banking and legal hierarchies are both preeminent instruments of control for the establishment. When a superior determines to encourage, discourage, demand, or forbid among his subordinates a mode of action, thought, or awareness, those modes will be encouraged or discouraged among everyone below him in the hierarchy. If that superior is a nuclear establishment leader, then these modes will be encouraged or discouraged throughout most of society. In this case, only those not within the conventional hierarchy of civilized society escape the brunt of the behavioral tyranny. Hierarchicalization is a memetic amplifier for people in higher echelons, and an attenuator for those in lower echelons. The memetic gain factor is not intrinsically correlated with the actual memetic aptitude of each individual; whatever characteristics favor ascension to higher echelons are the characteristics common to those positioned for high memetic gain factors. The characteristics are arbitrarily dictated by those who are already in the upper echelons of the hierarchy, and once those who exhibit them have ascended, the characteristics are themselves efficiently spread through society. ----- Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam.
