Shock Doctrine:
Disaster Capitalism
Fascism,
the model of statehood based on
a symbiotic relation between the state and its chartered industrial
corporations, served
Francisco Franco in
Spain, Benito Mussolini in
Italy, Adolf Hitler in
Germany, Hirohito in
Japan, Stalin in the
USSR, Mao
Zedong in China, Pinochet in
Chile and every American president beginning with
Woodrow Wilson.
To
create a political state in which the
corporations reign supreme, the
ideological pipe dream of Plutocrats, all one needs to do is
employee the methods
first scientifically cataloged by
the CIA in the MKUltra
experiments with the help of
Ewen Cameron.
In
relating the history of a radical ideological crusade that has culminated in
the privatization of war and disaster, one
problem recurs: the ideology is a shape-shifter, forever changing its name and
switching identities.
Milton Friedman
called himself a "liberal."
American
followers, who associated
liberals with high
taxes and hippies, identified themselves as "conservatives," and,
later, as supply-siders in "Reaganomics".
In
most of the world, their psychopathic vision is known as "neoliberalism," but it is often called
"free trade" or simply
"globalization."
In the US
they have been given the title neoconservative.
In truth what is being built is
neofeudalism and the rulers sit in the corporate boardrooms.
Only since the
mid-nineties has the faux
intellectual movement, led by the right-wing
think tanks with which
Milton Friedman had long associations - Heritage
Foundation, Cato Institute and
the American Enterprise
Institute - called itself "neoconservative," a
worldview
that harnessed the full force of the
US military machine in the service of a corporate agenda.
All these
incarnations share a commitment to the policy trinity - the elimination of the
public sphere, total liberation
for corporations and skeletal social
spending - but none of the various names for the
ideology seem quite adequate
except the moniker
neofeudalism.
"A more accurate term for
a system that erases the boundaries between Big Government and Big Business is
not socialist or
capitalist but
corporatist.
Its main
characteristics are huge
transfers of public wealth to private
hands, often accompanied by
exploding debt, an ever-widening chasm between
the dazzling rich and the
disposable poor and an
aggressive nationalism that justifies
bottomless spending on security.
For
those inside the bubble of
extreme wealth created by such an arrangement, there can be no more
profitable way to organize a society.
Because of the obvious drawbacks
for the vast majority of the
population left outside the bubble, other features
of the corporate state
tend to include aggressive
surveillance (with government and large corporations trading favors and
contracts), mass incarceration
and shrinking civil
liberties.
Milton Friedman framed his movement as an attempt to
'free the market from the state' claiming the state distorted 'market
forces'.
In every nation where
Chicago School
policies were applied by the
International Monetary
Fund and the World Bank over
the past three decades what emerged was a powerful ruling alliance between a
few very large corporations and a trans-national elite." - Naomi
Klein
"In Russia the billionaire
private players in the alliance are called "the Oligarchs"; in
China, "the Princelings"; in Chile,
"the Piranhas"; in America,
Bush-Cheney gang
"Pioneers".
Far from freeing the market from the state, these political
corrupt corporate elites have simply merged,
trading favors to secure
the right to appropriate precious resources previously held in the
public domain - from
Russia's oil fields, to China's collective lands, to the
no-bid reconstruction contracts
for work in Iraq." - Naomi Klein
As all
tyrants have recognized throughout history the only way to break the will of a
people is to traumatize
them.
In shock they are unable to fend off
the 'bitter medicine' that will 'set them
free' and allow the 'austerity measures' that
'balance the trade
deficit'.
To that end the
Corporate Intelligence
Agency first had to devise multiple schemes with which to 'shock and awe' the target
population during which measures could be put into place to
divert attention and
distract the population from the actual
situation.
Specifically for social control purposes, both of individuals
and of target
populations, experiments were
undertaken to determine the most feasible methods of control.
Respect for basic human
rights took a backseat to the desire for control.

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a
new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The
author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has
forged a populace unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has
been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their
agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race.
Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious
practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their philosophical ideology.
This web site marks the founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of
the Way of the Lumière Infinie - a rational gnostic mystery religion
based on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no
supreme leader, no church buildings and in which each and every individual is
encouraged to develop a personal relation with the Creator and Sustainer
through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing the
spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The
Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on
this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their
religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate crime."
This web site
in no way condones violence. To the
contrary the intent here is to reduce the violence that is already occurring
due to the international corporate cartels desire to control the human race.
The international corporate cartel already controls the world economic system,
corporate media worldwide, the global industrial military entertainment complex
and is responsible for the collapse of morals, the elevation of self-centered
behavior and the destruction of global ecosystems. Civilization is based on
coöperation. Coöperation does not occur at the point of a
gun.
American social mores and values have declined precipitously over
the last century as the corrupt international cartel has garnered more and more
power. This power rests in the ability to deceive the populace in general
through corporate media by pressing emotional buttons which have been
preprogrammed into the population through prior corporate media psychological
operations. The results have been the destruction of the family and the
destruction of social structures that do not adhere to the corrupt
international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction and
coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been
directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that
further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
