Cholera and Zimbabwe’s diamonds

In Current affairs and the economy on November 27, 2008 at 3:59 pm

Whatever concealed, malign manipulators of the global mass media will tell you, Nelson Mandela knows an honest, compassionate man when he sees one. None will dispute that claim, for Mr. Mandela knows everybody, and everybody knows him. Mr. Mandela knows me also, and speaks his mind without reservation regarding me, as he does with all others. Likewise, I know Mr. Mandela, and speak my mind without reservation regarding him, as I do with all others. As every South African can proudly say of his or her relationship with him, Mr. Mandela and I know where we stand with each other. Since 2005 our relationship has been strained, since I found cause for grave concern with regard to the ultimate intentions of those who released him from prison and generated his global legend as a messiah. As a result of media dissimulation, I endured many months and years of agonizing confusion, and said things that in hindsight could appear unseemly. Yet Mr. Mandela continued to recognise in me a campaigner for the rights of the underdog; he continued to trust me. And I continued to trust him.

Today the constituency represented by Mr. Mandela is in the ascendancy. US president-elect Barack Obama symbolizes the victory of liberal democracy. The nasty conservatives have been defeated. However, the indisputable finality of the historical watershed reached in that process means that those nasty conservatives, who were previously blamed for everything that went wrong, and for evil things happening to good people, can no longer be intelligently blamed for such things. The root of all evil must now be looked for elsewhere.

Likewise, therefore, unless the cholera outbreak in Zimbabwe constitutes an Act of God, or an arbitrary effect of probability theory, it will no longer do to conclude that president Mugabe has personally sneaked around like a thief in the night to infest his own people’s water with cholera, as malign manipulators will obdurately continue to insinuate in media broadcasting – to simple Africans led to believe that politics have something to do with regular attendance at feel-good rallies, where a great song and dance is made over some popular leader, or that it has something to do with drawing a cross next to his name once in every four years. Mr. Mugabe is a proud, strong leader, not one given to weeping in public over the remorse that he feels for having failed to pity the vulnerable. But he is no longer in a position to ‘oppress the people’.

Mr. Mugabe has unyieldingly defended his country against the awe-inspiring power of Africa’s most dangerous enemies: concealed criminal elements associated with the sub-continent’s British-owned, South African-based resources sector, which collude with rapidly developing Asian importers of African strategic minerals, and which deceive those importers as they deceive all others concerned, including the people of Britain. Therefore, if the global mass media fail to mention a fact that is blindingly obvious to all except members of captive media audiences long subjected to propaganda calculated to prolong and entrench African slavery while pretending to champion liberal democracy, then that is because the mass media have been captured by what can only be described as Global Organized Crime. However, let none claim that the nasty conservatives represent the concealed malignant power behind the drive – the conservatives have fallen from grace, and are now subordinate to their liberal masters.

In the coming months and years the world will have cause to reflect on the virtues of the market economy, which has found ways and means to generate additional capital production that are free from any least need to oppress or enslave anybody. The market economy depends for its success on access to efficient information for all. The American capitalist system may facilitate opportunities for greedy people to flourish – but that is a benign excess in comparison with the subjection of an entire race to the hatred and contempt of the world for purposes too sinister to be mentioned in the media. Or to threaten the populations of an entire continent with a killer disease when one leader refuses to surrender Africa’s fabulous mineral wealth to elements that have dealt as ruthlessly with him as with any other African.

The biological warfare waged upon the people of Zimbabwe since Mr. Obama’s election victory in the USA must be seen in terms of an organic correspondence with pressure on president Mugabe to capitulate to the covert global power seeking to confiscate Zimbabwe’s totally magnificent diamond reefs – the quality, extent, and propitious positioning for mining of which are unequalled anywhere in the world. But the biological warfare is not seen in those terms. That no word should ever be breathed on that cardinal aspect of Zimbabwe’s troubles, nor on the covetousness, rapaciousness, and cruelty of the power holding Mr. Mugabe up in the media as alternately a murderous ghoul and a detestable clown – is a crime against humanity of magnitude deserving to result in a far greater media fuss than any breach of moral hazard where a bad loan was made by an American investment bank to an incompetent company.

Cholera could swiftly be substituted with Ebola, or with an entirely new disease against which no defence has yet been found. Everything depends on the whims of those who may not be mentioned in the media on grounds of the absolute power that they wield over all living. Which should be cause for grave concern: far from intending to deal fairly with the world, now that their power can no longer be curbed, the un-elected, unaccountable Masters of the Universe go for the jugular in no uncertain terms – as is palpably obvious from their attitude to the Zimbabwean situation.

‘Diamonds are the hardest substance in the world. They are used in a thousand industrial applications: to coat knives, drill bits, and the teeth of chain saws. Diamonds help to cut the asphalt during highway construction, and are ground up to be put in face creams serving as exfoliants. They are used in scalpels, computer ships, and semiconductors.’

(Science 101: Chemistry – Harper Collins, 2007)

It is to be doubted that a single economically informed person in the world could be found who believes the drivel fed to Africans by the mass media on the politics of Zimbabwe. Diamonds are as essential to the perpetuation of industry and technology as are oil and other energy resources. Thousands of companies depend on diamonds for their livelihood. How could some swaggering, strutting previous labour unionist like Morgan Tshvangirai be rationally thought to represent Zimbabwe’s last chance for salvation on grounds of his allegedly great popularity – while a thousand businesses tensely anticipate their next shipment of Zimbabwean diamonds where vultures hover over the corpse of African resilience against global pirates, ready to strike at the first opportunity? The public deserves to be informed on the realities behind media appearances with regard to the politics of Zimbabwe. The lives of millions of Africans could depend on it.

If the truth can be confiscated from the public and owned by the unconscionable exclusively, to be thrown around as it pleases them, and deployed in gross abuse of the entire world – what other crimes against humanity are secretly committed by those who avail themsleves of such privileges? In a sane world, that question might prove to be the most important one that could possibly be asked. But is this world a sane one? Can a world in which the media are worshipped and adored as the sole repository for expressions of the Will of God – but have in truth long been usurped by Global Organized Crime – rate as a sane world?

The truth is that today no control whatsoever is possible over the dissemination of media material. Therefore the atrocities routinely perpetrated behind appearances could exceed the most paranoid observers’ worst expectations. The vaunted Triumph of Liberal Democracy could be a mere sop for the most abusive crimes ever committed in the history of the world. That is why it is important that any observer who becomes aware of discontinuities between reality and media reportage should state them unequivocally. Failure to do so could result in a return of the human race to a state of animal savagery. Freedom of speech is the final barrier between human beings and the Devil. Therefore the world needs to act, and to demand that, whatever the position of the South African-British diamond cartels in the politics of Zimbabwe may be, and whoever the powerful personages to be embarrassed by disclosure may be, that involvement must be stated, even if only in a single South African newspaper article or television news broadcast.

I am threatened with blindness for my pains in writing this entry for the internet. My children could be punished with entrapment in soul-destroying mediocrity, with ill-health, and finally with death by torture, although none but they and I would know the full horror of our fate when the worst happens. I have long been covertly insinuated into the role played by Al Pacino in the film Scent of a Woman. I have even found myself visiting the premises of Maserati, to view their magnificent cars.

And why should I write all this if my children could read it and be terrified for their sakes and mine? Because the lives of millions depend upon it, in Africa and around the world. And because, no, my children will not read what I write, as they would do in a free country such as pre-liberal USA – because that would not suit the Mafia’s agenda. And the superiority of the Mafia’s communication with my children in comparison to my communication with them must rate at multiples of hundreds – in terms of frequency, efficacy, content, and many other criteria.

The Mafia continues to pretend that I require sex with others whenever I become exhausted and do whatever I can induce sleep, such as to engage in bodily exercise associated with sexuality but more often found in semi-conscious states of extreme exhaustion. Sleep deprivation is a form of torture deployed against South Africans ever since the 1899-2002 Anglo Boer War. Justification for continuing the practise is secured through the popularity of soap opera among the morally comatose, which proves that even the worst forms of enervation really enjoy a strong demand among the masses. A prohibition on masturbation, effected by means of bullying tactics facilitated by ICT surveillance techniques, ensures total dependency on the tormentors – and ensures that the HIV-Aids infection rate will continue to soar, resulting in increased profit margins accruing from sales of anti-retrovirals.

The criminals who deceive Great Britain with respect to the Zimbabwean situation must be responsible for all atrocities for which no party can be held responsible in the media – such as acts of terrorism in the Middle East, biological warfare against Africa, China, Thailand, and other countries, military conflicts between Russia and Chechnya, Russia and Georgia, and between India and Pakistan, Israel and Palestine, and, until recently, and most significantly in this context, between England and Ireland.

The resolution of the last item on the list, the Irish Question, seems to have been prosecuted at the expense of British sovereignty: Britain now has Prime Ministers instated without any voting at all, apparently to serve as a precedent for the rest of the world, where personality cults override the practise of democratic elections, and where media violence results in the deposition of presidents in communist Coups d’Tat publicized as particularly smooth transitions between administrations, and evidence of accomplished state-craft on the parts of the conspirators – particularly in countries such as South Africa, whose British-owned resources sector determines the fates of African presidents with impunity, and invariably under false pretences sustained via the global mass media.

The unbridled power of the criminals responsible for those effects constitutes the gravest threat to have confronted civilization over the past three thousand years. Therefore the degree of correlation between media reportage and realities on the ground, and standards employed in determining the veracity of presented facts, should constitute the principal strategic concern for organizations such as the Pentagon, Interpol, Israel’s Mossad, and democratic governments. But that is not the case; it is thought perfectly normal to allow herd momentum and mass hysteria to build up to towering levels over the threat presented by Robert Mugabe to the world, the legend of Mr. Obama’s messianic mission, the reversal of the reputations of members of the Mafia and the Commissioner of the International Police, and the stupidity and decrepitude of the American president’s urge to combat terrorism – without requiring checks and balances by which manipulators of the media could be held accountable for the consequences of their actions.

Alienation between the presidents of democracies and their governments, and between governments and their departments, such as the police, the legal profession, and the medical profession, and between all those and the general public, has reached extraordinary proportions over the past twenty years, generating great opportunities for criminals to open up enormous profit margins in the process. The situation cannot continue to deteriorate without cataclysmic results.

Absolutely the minimum response needed to address the state of affairs is to arrange that the leaders of powerful countries clearly, repeatedly, and multilaterally state that with legislation in its present form, it is possible for criminals to abuse the international public by imparting gross lies to it through the mass media in a false pretence at serving its need for efficient information, and that such abuse hourly occurs around the world.

Cholera continues to spread in Zimbabwe while the population believes the country’s president too corrupt to note its needs – whereas the truth is that he holds on for all that he can to any and all means by which access to Zimbabwe’s livelihood may be retained. That constitutes an injustice seldom if ever equalled anywhere or at any time. Yet the world bays for Mugabe’s blood because it has been debarred from access to efficient information. Africa has endured such treatment from the concealed manipulators responsible for those effects for more than a century, because those manipulators are worshipped and adored as representatives of Divine Authority on Earth. And they can prove their worth: they have just given the world its latest miracle by arranging for the messiah to ‘save’ America from itself, although it must be admitted that, as in the cases of other countries similarly subjected to regime change, America’s enemies could have accomplished that task equally well.

The practise of media equivocation for criminal purposes must be brought to an end.

Puppets and their Masters

In Current affairs and the economy on November 25, 2008 at 4:20 pm

US president-elect Barack Obama may have been elected through essentially the same means as those through which the liberation of forty million South Africans was traded for the liberation of a solitary individual: Mr. Mandela – who could not under the circumstances be expected to be aware of the fraud; he is too subjectively engaged in all the fine things that are being done for him – such as the South African Soccer World Cup – to retain sufficient visibility on the effects visited on his compatriots in the process, however awe-inspiringly destructive those may be. But that is how global organized crime achieves its effects: it gives one handful with great public show and ostentation, while secretly taking ten hands full for itself. The Soccer World Cup may amount to effective profits of, say, three hundred billion rand, while coveted South African, Zimbabwean, and Congolese minerals would in aggregate amount to, say, three trillion rand in effective profits.

Since Mr. Obama was elected in a manner showing an organic correspondence with Mr. Mandela’s election thirteen years ago, in that the global reputation of a messiah was generated by way of an extraordinary media violence attendant upon procedures in both cases, Mr. Obama will be the last person alive to know it, should he be abused in a process calculated to ruin the world by means of a strategically imputed paralysis of the USA. Americans are not well informed by their public media on the hazards confronting them where concealed, malign manipulators of the media exacerbate socio-economic effects for the purpose of increasing the margins of profits accruing from serious crime.

The United States presidential elections may have been manipulated for a purpose no more important than the resolve to direct Zimbabwe’s strategic mineral wealth into the hands of those who control the global mass media by means of diabolical applications of bio-genetics and other techniques of medical science hourly deployed by the security services in achieving their socio-economic effects in international diplomacy.

In South Africa, little imagination is needed to appreciate the means by which election results are rigged: stooge questions are put to deceived audiences, which are required to vote ‘yes’ or ‘no’, whereupon pre-determined results are collated by irregular means, and broadcast as the final word on the matter. That result is then entered as an official vote on a matter altogether unrelated to it, but of far greater national importance than it. A good example is the recent (Sunday 23rd November) viewer vote during the talk show Asikhulume, on prospects that the PAC, a political party representing about 0.02% of South Africans, might challenge the ANC in the coming elections. Since South Africans are not altogether imbecilic, those dumb enough or opportunistic enough to fall for the trick voted that the PAC may as well move to Madagascar as hope to register as a blip on any radar screen. But that is where standard procedure swings into action. The 80% ‘no’ vote result is summarily insinuated to the status of an official national veto of COPE, the new party, which could obtain 50% or more of the vote in the coming election. A few more dirty tricks could result in the insinuation that general consensus has found COPE hopelessly outclassed, so that the media might have no farther obligation to take notice of it at all. Thus voting is conducted by means of media violence, not democratic elections.

And guess who wins every such case of rigged votes collated during talk shows? Those who will expropriate all Zimbabwe’s diamonds even if they must burn that country to the ground and starve every African in sight to death – a realistic option where a decade of media violence has been invested in making a convenient scapegoat of Mr. Mugabe.

Those are the people to whom Mr. Obama owes his immortality.

I have great certainty on matters of that nature, because I daily experience the frustration of having my submissions contradicted and the effects of my actions reversed. Being kept perpetually short of funds, I am often unable to make purchases, telephone calls, or car trips that could suffice to cancel the effects of huge trucks, building construction projects, a dozen cars parked outside my door, or unexpected visits from family with loads of food or clothing, whose effects alter my position in novel ways, so that I have to continually adapt my approach and learn new tricks of the trade while the Mafia implements its effects. When all else fails, a member of my family could be buried or married off to her enemy, so that I may have to attend a funeral or a wedding ceremony, where effects, the consequences of which I cannot be certain, will be converged upon me. Yet for all I know, the Mafia presents the matter as if my failure to effect certain actions reflect fairly on the nature of my preferences and loyalties.

And that merely scratches the tip of the iceberg: I have endured decades of torment as a result of my puritan Calvinist background, on the nature and extent of which I will not dwell here. But few actions comprising a ‘normal’ work-day are granted me without interference designed to reprimand me for admitting impediments into an agenda whose drivers cannot afford to countenance resistance.

Barack Obama may be a super-human being, capable of eliciting the devotion of a great many people for the purpose of saving the most powerful country in the world from itself. But I am in no position to presume upon such a possibility, since I have obtained extraordinary visibility on the real motives behind a very similar phenomenon. Therefore I have to remain sceptical until my misgivings have been invalidated. In the meanwhile I need to make known the tenor of those misgivings.

Once the nature, character, and motivation of human biology has been studied, then experienced, and finally thoroughly managed for a considerable length of time, so that all the powers and agencies governing the human person may be controlled, the politics of experience can be analysed in great depth and detail, and its effects applied upon the case of any individual isolated for the purpose.

People who have never taken the time to reflect on how they arrived at their privileged positions on this planet at the present time could easily imagine themselves free to use their fellows as tools with which to alter the nature of the world in order to engineer a position in it for the manipulators from which mighty results may be effected. However, people arriving at such a position have as a rule become absolutely corrupted in the process; they would require feats of social engineering to dwarf those of recorded history in magnitude of consequence, and would crave sovereign sway and masterdom of a kind never heard or dreamed of before.

Thus the potentates under discussion will construct cages around their victims: a technological, biological, environmental, societal, and psychological cage will act to coerce each victim into states and actions amenable to the purposes of his invisible tormentors. The concealed, malign manipulators will constantly find new ways of motivating their target victim’s behavior. They will isolate his sexuality for special manipulation through promises involving outsiders of great beauty and allure. They will isolate his relationships by alternately increasing and reducing his perceived power in them, thus making the target aware of the control involved. They will faithfully test the effects of each result, and supply feed-back for his information. Then the community will begin to assume things that alternately flatter and demean the target through manipulation of his sense of self-worth.

After due passage of time, perceptions of the target’s social standing could be diminished or enhanced in accordance with the wishes of the manipulators. That is where the media could begin to play a very important role. Should personalized messages constantly bombard the target, while the manipulators maintain a constancy in terms of approach and response, and of request and reciprocation, that tactic could engender trust in the target for those who manage him, although he does not know who they are or what they ultimately want. To trust seems a more intelligent response than to remain forever cut off from the world while the process relentlessly continues, and the target’s resistance is reduced with increasing age and enervation.

Unless he happens to be possessed of a vision of a just, that is, an intelligent world, which must necessarily be characterized by access to efficient information for all, and by effective freedom of speech – and fights unyieldingly against an agenda moving to destroy the possibility of realizing that world.

The process will relentlessly continue. A basic goal will long have been suggested at the phase in procedures where the target’s public life is perpetually defined and redefined through his responses to the covert regime. The target will understand that he is deemed exceptional, and that in exchange for his ascent of the social ladder, a quid pro quo will be exacted through the dynamics of the transactional management memorandum into which he has settled. He will have acquired a sense of duty with respect to his responses to a certain set of prompts, and he will have built up a set of expectations around a particular set of rewards.

The target’s resilience is constantly worn down by a division of the tormenting agency into various opposed factions, a device through which a pretence at support for the target is maintained, despite his resolute scepticism. This is where the notion of a family structure is most useful: the target identifies with a member of the ‘virtual’ family who magnanimously offers to protect him against a malignant one – only to discover the farce again and again, and hastening to accept the ‘protection’ offered by yet another faction, which requires observation of a different set of terms and conditions, with a corresponding set of punishments for non-compliance and rewards for compliance indicated in each case. At times some of the identities positively champion the rebel’s cause, though it be set in diametric opposition to the one demanded – the manipulators being apparently blessed with infinite patience and goodwill. At other times anger or fear is communicated, and the target is made to feel pity for the manipulator and remorse over having caused him, or her, or them, to suffer.

Thus compliance is enforced in a series of stages of the general agenda by which political and economic change is effected through deception and oppression that aggregate into a regime of extended torture. None of the shifting identities offered are ever clearly defined, in order to prevent the target from engaging the police in the matter. The identities remain at bottom elements of a single entity – but one whose various manifestations increasingly correspond to figments of the victim’s febrile and often exhausted imagination – which greatly enhance the manipulator’s capability to confuse, discourage, and demean him if he fails to comply, leaving him to wallow in a slough of misery where the constant alteration between seductions, threats, warnings, advertising, cajoling, teasing, tricking, rewarding, and other devices never cease. Yet it remains always understood that compliance would impel him upon a course of unexampled success and fame.

Those who do comply post a far lesser achievement than is pretended in the media once the promised reward of fame and fortune materializes and the agenda is implemented with astonishing speed and coordinated efficacy.

The problem with a case such as that of US president-elect Mr. Obama is that the philosophy of liberal democracy has long been secretly usurped by criminal elements abusing the Third World, whose populations know a thing or two of societal conditioning on the parts of those who control the global mass media. Through the tried and tested method of the carrot and stick, the tactic of divide and rule is implemented. Once the first result is obtained it can be rendered a foregone conclusion through precedent, and can be perennially enforced through the familiar dynamic of trade-offs between risk and reward, and between cost and benefit. The process takes on a momentum whose inevitability resembles that of a chess game against an invisible grandmaster who forces his luckless opponent into checkmate through a series of unanswerable moves. Neither cabinet ministers nor presidents of state are ever free of the oppressive dynamic. And that is to mention only the part before things turn nasty.

However, the facility by which the Mafia is privileged to prosecute its regime of torture by means of a device of legislation in real time must be briefly mentioned. Based on the assumption that silence denotes consent, invisible tormentors are free to broadcast a news insert or an advertisement through which the target is notified that a protector has been procured for the tormentor. That device can take many forms. For example, it could work through the protocol of transactional management set out in an advertisement of a popular vehicle brand’s pick-up truck. The company producing the truck agrees to assist in clearing the tormentor’s name through the influence of the political constituency represented by the product brand – through court action, diplomacy, and media action. Thus a deal may be offered to, say, the United States liberal democrats, by which certain African mineral rights could be ceded to it in exchange for looking away wherever target victims of the oppressive regime retaliate through verbal abuse or writing monitored as a matter of public record. In this way the question of guilt or innocence is removed from the legal process, and foul play is both licensed and protected by the code of secrecy prevailing in the security services. Evil agendas may be sanctified and entrenched by such means. Perhaps even terrorism.

‘Liberal democracy’. ‘Human rights’. ‘Constitutional empowerment’. Viva.

Only the most refined targets, whose backgrounds have persistently warned them of the traps and snares of power, will be strong enough to discern a false note where flattery does not quite fit their expectations of themsleves. And only those who have learned to be very watchful of the consequences of their actions upon the lives of others will notice that their handlers are not entirely attuned to the needs and aspirations of those affected by the outcomes of their social engineering projects. Targets emerging from the rank and file of the previously disadvantaged classes would not be well placed to detect foul play in the cat-and-mouse game into which they are thus drawn; they are liable to sue for any result appearing more propitious than the intolerable regime under which their people have long suffered.

An individual seeking to be propelled into the world’s most powerful office is no better placed than the disadvantaged, but for the opposite reason: he has already made his decision, and will uncritically accept all actions that move him towards his goal. The amplitude of power taking a hold of him who agrees to play the role offered is massive and frightening beyond description. Mountains are levelled, and valleys heave aloft; everything swirls about; the floor underfoot swings to and fro over the bottomless gorge. There is no turning back.

It is an invidious undertaking to criticise the fame generated around the world’s latest media sensation. It is dangerous to do so when that sensation is the most powerful representative leader in the world. Realists are free to accept a destiny and a place in history when it is offered to them. But the negative consequences for prospects of creating a just, intelligent world are grave wherever mass hysteria is mobilized for purposes ultimately known only to the concealed potentates in control of the process.

The liberals are now descending upon Zimbabwe to tell the world of the horrors that they find there, and of the many stories of yet other horrors that they hear. But they fail to tell the world what the involvement of the owners of the global resources sector entails in the current Zimbabwean situation. Mr. Jimmy Carter is visiting the subcontinent to represent special interests on behalf of the United States Democratic Party’s top supporters. Mr. Carter wields sufficient influence to override SADC’s perspective on the situation. He points out that SADC does not know of the conditions currently experienced in Zimbabwe. That statement may be correct. But perceptions based on the media-generated assumption that Robert Mugabe is responsible for having permitted those conditions free from the pro-active involvement of the sub-continent’s powerful British-owned South African-based resources sector, are not correct. Yet those incorrect perceptions are dutifully reinforced and broadcast to the world, while no mention is made of the principal player in the game, which happens to be also the match referee, since it controls the highest authority to be found on Earth: the global mass media.

In view of the present need for a reconstitution of the global economic architecture, little imagination is needed to conclude that the world’s greatest powers have agreed to throw Africa to the wolves in order to claim an ownership stake in its strategic mineral resources. Ramifications for the position of the ordinary South African are not easy to determine, since efficient information is inaccessible as a matter of fundamental media strategy. Doubtless many other underdeveloped regions will be subjected to the combined hegemony of powerful nations, in whose exclusive club China and India, the two emerging giants, will be included. The bottom half of the global population will continue to fall off the back of the onward-pressing caravan. Perspective on the realpolitik of the changing balance of power will be accessible to few South African leaders. Those who do enjoy visibility on it will need to move with the traffic flow. Still, the pretence at humanitarian concern by global liberal democracy for Africa in the aftermath of Mr. Obama’s election in the USA makes unpleasant viewing, since the excessive media hype around the ‘South African miracle’ has already been exposed as a Trojan Horse.

The developing world needs to focus with laser-like intensity on a deal conducive to broad-based access to fundamental education in economics, science, and management theory as the sole condition for negotiation. To embrace liberal politics will not necessarily advance that cause; it may result in an offer of palliatives and placebos in place of essential empowerment through education.

South Africans enjoying access to global television coverage must have reason to imagine that things will work out acceptably for them. Perhaps off-shore business opportunities await them. However, the fate of those who will remain in a one-party state South Africa destined soon to relinquish its failing grasp on its sources of revenue to an offensive which now has the backing of American liberalism, will be an extremely difficult one. If the ANC will be rewarded for selling out with a one-party election white-wash, the better half of the South African body politic will lose. Likewise, should Mugabe be unceremoniously kicked out and Tshvangirai righteously instated, Zimbabwe will lose. And the world will lose.

The ancient game of puppets and their masters is played in the modern world with the tools of science, economics, and management theory. Nations making continual progress in those fields may survive to play for another day. South Korea has made the cut-off point. China has made it. India and Brazil have made it. South Africa is floundering on the threshold. Africa is teetering over the edge of the abyss. If Zimbabwe can be saved by striking a deal that leaves it with at least a hope of access to, and control over, its own mineral resources, Africa can be saved. But the global competition is not in a generous mood: it will not even allow Africa to mention its involvement in the matter. That signifies an intention to play Winner Takes All with the world’s poorest continent by means of ruthless deception and oppression.

African Minerals and the Mafia

In Current affairs and the economy on November 24, 2008 at 5:45 am

The media do all in their power to persuade the global public that the Mafia may be encountered only in remote, idyllic locations such as Sicily, Corsica, and Crete, where flamboyant, swashbuckling youngsters swagger and strut, talking up big deals and charming secretaries, and where sweet, rose-cultivating and wine-making uncles have an endearing secret penchant for fitting concrete boots on snitches and tattle-tales and dumping them into the sea at the west-end quay. The television series The Sopranos had everybody fooled with scenes of poker games proceeding in a civilized fashion until some hoodlum would overturn the table and blast his buddies to smithereens with his pistol, and scenes in which fat ghouls with croupy voices would say: “We gonna come ta bump yous off, so wadda yous gonna do abode eed!”

Yet despite the media dissimulation, people become aware of severe oppression in their personal lives, and, even in efficient democracies, of some really very nasty elements operating with impunity. The question: ‘Who is the Mafia?’ is a good one, and one that deserves a good answer. However, the Mafia is nothing if not secretive. Therefore the earliest clue to its presence in any community must be a cartel economic model. The oil-producing countries of the Middle East are not going to surprise the world with closet market economies flourishing amidst feudal fiefdoms where turbaned sheiks lord it over their minions and harems, and, although they may no longer develop reputations for secretly having turn-coats and traitors decapitated, will certainly maintain paramilitary outfits to resist any American special interests seeking access to energy resources – in a manner best understood in the West under the name terrorism. Nor would the Russian tsars who own natural gas deposits in the Barendt Sea near the north pole surprise anybody in that respect. The methods characterizing the blood diamond cartels of Africa will surprise none but American liberal democrats keen to apologize on behalf of their country, and pitying the world’s ignorant instead of educating them, such as Mr. Clinton.

Nor is the threat presented by communism to the essential human condition to be slighted. The effect of the growth of communism during the 1930s on one of the finest American authors of the twentieth century, John Dos Passos, reveals much about the innocence in which the Christian West lived with respect to the criminality spread by communism. The passage is from Arts in the Twentieth Century by Kenneth McLeish (Penguin, 1985), page 83:

‘In the trilogy USA, 1919, and The Big Money, which is a left-oriented study of American life between the end of the First World War and the 1929 Wall Street Crash, Dos Passos’s commitment (starry-eyed left-wing in the earlier books, disillusioned right-wing in the later) is regularly cited as his most notable quality, but his chief excellence, as one of the finest of all political novelists, is rather the acuity and thoroughness of his political analysis. It is rare, for example, for an American novelist to be so persistently convinced of the need for political engagement. Although he became an almost McCarthyite rightist (to the embarrassment of his friend Edmund Wilson), Dos Passos had a craving for maturity not to be found in flashier contemporaries. Thus he is a vital source for anyone wanting to know what made 20th century America the way it is (at least until Vietnam) and in particular how revolutionary zeal, that vitalizing 19th-century force, was modified and adapted there in the stress of 20th century events.’

Had Edmund Wilson read his friend’s work better, he would have less cause for embarrassment.

The cartels have long collaborated, having formed a global network by the effects of which to antagonize the American market economy. In the process they found common cause with the international Mafia, and formed Global Organized Crime – which in turn discovered great advantages in working with international communism. In Africa, criminal elements enjoying stewardship over diamond-producing regions were angered by Britain’s belated abolition of slavery and by Mrs Thatcher’s monetary reforms, which replaced the robber-baron culture of colonialism with financial and banking policies that exploited no-one, and required neither enslavement nor dehumanization for its effects. Thus the South African-based criminal elements that had exploited colonialism colluded with their Russian counterparts in the diamond and gold resources sectors to ‘liberate’ Africa from the deplorable ‘imperialists’ – which were represented by none more precisely than themselves.

The result has been the interminable post-independence anarchy and slaughter by which Africa has become characterized, along with severe condemnation in the global mass media, which has persuaded the world that Africa is uniquely responsible for all its own problems. Rebel leaders who hate the governments for which they voted, and their presidents, show no capability to resist media violence directed at them in the process of fomenting division and agitating hatred for the purpose of obtaining access to magnificent deposits of strategic mineral resources – for emerging giant Asian economies maintaining communist interests in Africa. In that respect the role of the Chinese émigré families that were monitored by international communism and unwittingly deployed as a vehicle for an invasion of the West must be seen in perspective.

Which brings up the second sign that the Mafia is in town, besides a cartel economic culture and communism: family businesses.

Shareholder value cannot be maximized if family members have to be accommodated in profit-sharing as and when they come of age and are deemed deserving of their fair share of the fiefdom. Nor can the proper interests of the business and of the broader community be served if family demands are permitted to obtrude at every turn of events. Warren Buffett set a magnificent example in that matter, refusing to be distracted by the needs of family. Yet he bequeathed a fortune to American higher education after a lifetime of being branded a ‘notorious miser’, and bailed out his country’s ailing mortgage fund and banking system in the process. Which revered socialist ‘icon’ can show a comparable achievement in philanthropy?

The Mafia has long operated in terms of a vehicle based on the family: a father, mother, brothers, and sisters, and their children represent the various factions and departments of the global organization covertly operating in most countries of the world.

During the time of Homer, the ancient Greek author of The Iliad, when unbridled barbarism was last seen on Earth, a confederacy of tribes ruled Attica through representatives of the ancient matriarchal Pelasgian culture (‘sea-farers’) and of the invaders from the Indo-European plains, who were dislodged in the region today known as Pakistan, and moved along the north coast of the Black Sea, across Turkey, to break through the isthmus of Corinth and to overrun the Greek mainland with their vast herds of cattle toward the close of the second millennium BC – the event responsible for the febrile energies from which the modern world developed. Zeus was the head of the gods, who ruled with his brothers Poseidon and Hades, a trinity derived from Indra, Krishna, and Varuna, as they were at first known. Hera, Zeus’s wife, gave her name to all heroes who subsequently served her. Apollo, the god of science, Diononysus, god of wine and poetry, and Haephestus, god of smithcraft, are characterized as the sons of Zeus and Hera. Aphrodite, goddess of love, Artemis, goddess of youth and battle, and Demeter, goddess of prophesy and the harvest, are characterized as their daughters, as was Athene, the patroness of Athens, and many others, male and female.

Today the Mafia rules in terms of the same barbaric model, in the form of family businesses that do all in their power to undermine the spread of trade efficiency through the American market economy. As may be verified from the first five pages of The Iliad, in which Achilles and Agamamnon fight over their prizes: beautiful girls captured from the civilized mercantile city of Troy – the gods are ruthless criminals. And now they have succeeded in discrediting the market economy, at first by agitating corruption in their media wherever they perceived a chance to do so, and attacking efficiency wherever possible – and finally to condemn America when their pains at last bore fruit. Thus the stage has been set for the full-scale return of barbarism.

The street price of heroin fetches thirteen times more than a sharp securities trader could hope to make on Wall Street on a good day, during the boom years. God help the children upon whose lives the horror of heroin addiction will be forced once the Democrats take power in the USA, because they are on their own: the media will not breathe a solitary word of the carnage and Hell that will secretly engulf the world’s children in a wave of corruption threatening to reduce the human race to a level of primitive barbarism last seen thirty thousand years into the past.

The media worship barbarism: public demand, across the political spectrum, from conservative to liberal, has been moved toward a predilection for depictions of a society in which the only form of dynamism is violence. Films and drama series relentlessly elbow reason and the educated sensibility out of all forms of entertainment, creating the impression that barbarism is the only authentic mode of being. Naturally, the notion of going to war in order to put an end to barbarism has been removed from the national consciousness of every nation – and terrorism has been legitimized in the process. The only element of terrorism that may now be execrated is an American president who wishes to make war on it.

Far and away and without a doubt the worst element about the Mafia, however, comprises the powerful influence that it exercises on the medical profession. In that regard the functions of the legal system and security services in guaranteeing success for criminal agendas are no less essential than that of the media, which must legitimize crime and criminalize the police services. In South Africa, daily conversations in homes and offices throughout the land serve criminal elements as set-pieces for the dissemination of their policy directives: parents articulate words spoken by invisible agents at a distant remove from them – to their children – thinking to responsibly instruct them by doing so. The children reply in kind, finding wisdom far beyond the constraints of their tender age in managing the adult into subordination to their demands for commercial brands of food, clothing, music, cell phones, DVDs, and other items advertised by their national enemy on television – and in the popular magazines that symbolize their dissolute life-styles in terms of morbid sub-cultures rendered fashionable through the violence of peer pressure. Lovers whisper promises in the dark in accordance with scripts by the provisions of which they bind themsleves to their political enemies, and prepare to violently betray them as per future scripts toward which their behavior already trends. Brutish bosses conduct a rule of terror in every office and factory, and assault their employees when the Mafia is pressed to achieve an essential effect in perpetrating some crime at the expense of all concerned. Thus families are broken up and relationships aborted in the interests of exacerbating socio-economic decay for the greater profit of criminals.

The same applications of medical science regulate presidential elections in the USA and Europe. Perceptions, opinions, and sympathies are directed, redirected, and misdirected at will and with impunity, introducing violence into situations in the most incongruous manner, without the least regard for the degeneration of social norms thus wreaked. Gigantic political and economic effects are achieved by those means – as may be seen in the global economic turmoil now emanating from the USA, and the concomitant political conversion in sack and ashes towards liberal democracy recently engineered through the dynamics of media coverage by which Mr. Obama was elected.

Barriers against perception are erected between all relationships and in all departments of business, so that workers are cut off from supervisors, and middle-management cut off from top leadership. The presidents of democratic governments are alienated from their lieutenants, and those from the voters – presenting the Mafia with the perfect opportunity to commit some heinous crime on a national scale, and to blame the government of the country abused for the purpose in its global mass media.

In South Africa, communists are encouraged to imagine themselves far cleverer than the ‘dumb’ Americans, who are now being punished for their obduracy by going bankrupt, leaving the world free to be enjoyed by all comrades who dutifully pay their labour union fees and toe the party line. Thus a nasty one-party hegemony is enforced on South African society for the purpose of ensuring that the USA will wash its hands of Africa once the global powers coveting its strategic mineral resources have entrenched the awful junta that would best serve their rapacious interests. South Africans are being cheated out of the national wealth that could have secured a good future for their children – by the cartel economy that had previously deployed the iron fist of the Apartheid government against them, and that destroyed Africa’s ancient socio-economic structures through the murderous activities of the blood diamond cartels – and that have deposed their democratically elected president in a communist putsch calculated to rifle their mineral wealth. They have concealed, malign manipulators of the media to thank for its all, which colluded with the medical profession to effect totalitarian social engineering programs at their expense, in an agenda aiming to indefinitely perpetuate African slavery.

If the world wishes to protect itslef against the ravages and atrocities of the Mafia, it needs to insist that the word Mafia be appropriately and regularly mentioned in the global mass media. If it is to succeed in that objective, it must insist that the diamond cartels be mentioned in respect of South African politics.

Liberal Democracy and Organized Crime

In Current affairs and the economy on November 23, 2008 at 7:50 am

Scientific theorists frown upon efforts to imagine what could have taken place before the Big Bang, since a mathematical singularity would necessitate a breakdown of scientific predictions: the hypothesis that the Universe had no beginning would involve concepts of infinity – and mathematics cannot calculate numbers representing infinities.

Scientists believe, understandably, that taxpayers’ money will continue to supply an endless stream of funds for them to painstakingly collate further data about elementary particles and the forces of nature. Scientists are privileged to disregard all questions with respect to the possible purpose of existence that result from observation of behavior-patterns and other elements of social science requiring an updating of religious theory. Hence that field of enquiry remains so ill-defined, and so fraught with the effects of oppression from brutish elements seeking to exploit conditions resulting from violence, crime, poverty, disease, and ignorance, that pejorative terms such as ‘imaginings’, ‘fantasies’, or ‘flights of mysticism’ must continue to describe its methods. Scientists are right to deplore such exercises for the mischief and perversion in which they result when indulged in by destructive minds.

However, science may not be able to continue its researches, for a fundamental threat to life as it was known over the past three hundred, or perhaps three thousand, years, confronts the human race. People can no longer afford to let the limitations of science prevent them from observing phenomena that could in aggregate constitute valuable attitudes towards the question of the purpose of life, for the correct answer to that question holds the power to stave off a cataclysmic reversal of all progress made on the journey toward civilization over the course of recorded history.

Now that the USA has been persuaded that it was wrong to protect other countries against communism, and against the criminality and anarchy that overwhelm uninformed societies wallowing under the false pretence that their national policies represent liberal democracy, the world is confronted by the threat of an imminent return to the cage of an arrested society – perhaps even to life in a state of nature, among the beasts. Under such conditions, thinking people appreciate the importance of contemplating God’s intentions in creating the Universe. If science may not continue to exist for much longer, due to economically unintelligent policies requiring welfare grants to the poor rather than funds for scientific research and the manufacture of military equipment for the protection of capitalism and democracy – it may no longer matter whether or not science approves of popular suggestions for the purpose behind God’s Act of Creation. Therefore it is meet to develop intelligent notions with which to inform the answer to the question of the purpose of existence.

There is a possibility that the notion of justice derives from intuitions of the totality of existence as seen in terms of the manifold and variegated interactions between organisms over a chain of lives stretching deep into the past and into the future, and entailing orders of experience gained not on a single planet, but on many visited during the course of those lives. Intuitions of the totality of existence inform the sensibilities of live creatures in relationships characterized by domesticity and coenobium. Perhaps those intuitions entail awareness of a violation of an essential, extraneously determined purpose informing the constant interpretation of experience that takes up the larger part of an organism’s day.

Judaism, the tradition from which both the concept of God and that of rule of law derive, has for more than two thousand years observed the ordinances of a Deity served with a view to a reconciliation of experience religiously effected in anticipation of an existence beyond the present life on Earth. On page 699 of The Nazarene Gospel Restored, by Robert Graves and Joshua Podro, the following passage, which occurs under the chapter heading Before Caiaphas, deals with legal technicalities that attended the trial of Jesus:

‘Witnesses were warned, before interrogation, of the dire consequences if their testimony should prove to be mere hearsay or gossip. In capital cases they were addressed as follows (Sanhedrin iv. 1-5):

‘Perhaps you know not that we shall test you by examination and enquiry? Understand that capital cases differ from non-capital ones. In non-capital cases a man may atone by a payment of money, but in capital cases the witness is responsible for the blood of a man wrongfully condemned and for the blood of the posterity that should have been born to him until the end of the world.

‘One man (Adam) was created first to teach that, if any man causes a single soul to perish, the Law will treat him as though he caused an entire world to perish; and that if any man saves the life of a single soul, the Law will treat him as though he had saved the life of an entire world’.

The story in Genesis of the birthright relinquished by Esau upon choosing a bowl of lintel soup offered to him by Jacob instead, marks the historical moment where the liberalization of the Mosaic Law enabled the Jews to address the human heart in terms of provisions derived from awareness of an existence beyond the present life on Earth. Esau’s choice reflected his pre-occupation with the present life, and his comparative lack of appreciation for the next life. Judaism does not suggest that God will feed those who scorn the need for creature comforts, preferring to wallow in starry-eyed delusion with respect to the imperatives and necessities underlying reality on Earth – but Jacob, the ancestor of Jesus, whose subsequent focus on the Moral Law represents the departure from Esau’s exclusive concern with practicalities, is commemorated as the man who overcame barbarism in the interests of civilization. The Pharisee priesthood’s requirement that religionists take responsibility for the consequences of their actions on the lives of others constitutes the defining characteristic of organized religion, in Judaism as much as in the two traditions that developed from it: Christianity and Islam. That characteristic of organized religion, more than any other factor, provided the basis for the development of modernism.

Careful examination of the ‘anthropic principle’ – invoked by scientific theorists when confronted by the effects of the Uncertainty Principle, by the need for a unification of cosmological physics and quantum mechanics, and by other difficulties obstructing the advancement of scientific knowledge about the world and about human nature – will reveal that intuitions of the necessity for justice derive from appreciation for an abundance of evidence of the extraordinary intelligence informing human interactions with nature, with other humans, and with animals, birds, and even trees, plants, herbs, fruit, and other food provided for human consumption.

The reason why the Universe is to be credited with an intelligent purpose for the generation of sentient beings in an ontology whose provisions require a constant reconciliation of experience in commerce between live creatures is that no other view to be set beside it will withstand scrutiny.

Experiments with stem cell growth conducted since life was first created in a laboratory by means of the scientific technique of cloning, now make most current interpretations of Darwinism seem primitive. The notion that life came about by hap-hazard, in an arbitrary collection of cosmic and natural powers whose interactions bred demonic, chthonic forces answerable to no divine prerogatives, now seems barbarous. The Platonic account of the Ideas, or Forms, as appointed receptacles of becoming in a rigorously manifested teleology, with provision made for the ‘Changes’, the ‘Flux’, which determined Heraclitus’s contention that ‘you cannot step twice into the same river’, seems infinitely preferable – if criminality is not to overwhelm the progress of civilization.

The advent of recorded history was predicated upon the conviction that life on this planet at this moment in time is not an end in itself – it is a station facilitating the building of bridges between past lives and future lives, in an ontological continuum entailing a great array of behavioural characteristics and motivations. Perfect knowledge for humans on the principles and elements of the physical Universe may prove to comprise no part of the intentions of the power that constituted the covenant of organic life. It may be that social experience, in which the phenomenon of childbirth and family dynamics are the chief concerns, represents an element of existence that could never be entirely subordinated to the demands of science and technology.

Nor should this argument be confined to the rooms of Catholic bishops struggling to formulate appropriate guidelines for dioceses embroiled in the perpetually changing polemics of community affairs. The current global drive for ecological responsibility in business ultimately derives from the same awareness of the timeless nature of the framework determining requirements for justice as the one briefly set out above. Likewise, morally intelligent people discern an ineluctable law behind the troubles experienced by the global economy: wherever actions for which proper account cannot subsequently be given are permitted, nothing in the world can prevent a comprehensive reconstruction of conditions violated by such actions – a perception that differs in such negligible consequence from the traditional concept of Divine Retribution that its differentiation would appear arbitrary, comprising a mere exercise in semantics.

Which returns the argument to the warning stated above: science may not be able to continue its researches, for a fundamental threat to life as it was known confronts the human race.

It may seem as if this entry to my blog has been written under conditions of calm reflection by a South African basking in the glory of liberation from oppression. But appearances deceive. An hour before the placement of the previous port, Media, law, and medicine, the person who published it for me was assaulted, and has been subjected to severe trauma – induced by means of diabolical applications of medical science of the kind reserved in economically advanced countries for desperate remedies required by security services in the grip of national crises.

South Africa is not free from oppression – it is now more oppressed than ever. But figure-heads such as Mr. Mandela and Bishop Tutu are so subjectively involved in their roles as media icons representing their country in its capacity as the world’s exemplar for political correctness, that they have no hope whatsoever of perceiving the realities lurking behind appearances generated by concealed, malign manipulators of the media. The truth is that those manipulators have long been associated with the murderous blood diamond cartels that have destroyed dozens of African countries over the past five decades. President Thabo Mbeki, who witnessed the awe-inspiring destruction wreaked in Africa under the pretence of Soviet protection against a deplorable Western imperialism, was far better placed to appreciate the urgency of the need for multi-party democracy than are Mr. Mandela, who languished in prison for three decades of global development through no fault of his own, Bishop Tutu, a cleric innocent of the unconventional nature of modern totalitarianism, which is prosecuted via the effects of vernacular subcultures, not military hegemony, and Mr. Zuma, who is caught in a communist constituency starved of efficient information on the socio-economic realities confronting it. That appreciation, and no other factor, comprises the reason why Mr. Mbeki was deposed in a communist Coup d’Tat presented to the world in the media as the last word in statesmanship and political correctness.

Informed South Africans were appalled by the sight of the Fullbright Foundation’s celebration of Bishop Tutu as a legitimate representative of South African views.

South Africa is in the grip of the worst tyranny ever heard or dreamed of in the history of the world. Criminal elements that have long abused British colonialism in Africa have usurped the most advanced medical science accessible to humankind, and reversed the Hippocratic oath through a process rooted in hourly applications of that powerful knowledge for criminal purposes – by the effects of which Global Organized Crime seeks to ascend to a totalitarian world order whose provisions are calculated to favour a brutish concealed elite disdaining to countenance the notion of humanity. That concealed power is singularly responsible for Bishop Tutu’s unchallengeable reputation as an omniscient sage, for Mr. Mandela’s immortal legend, and for Mr. Obama’s reputation as the Saviour of the USA, the only ugly fault in an otherwise perfect world, requiring ‘change’ and ‘hope’ as prerequisites for its redemption.

Global Organized Crime has usurped the media, and deploys their persuasive power as a weapon of war against a world manoeuvred into the position of a soldier standing up straight in full view while under lethal fire from ambush.

One of the chief changes to be wrought through totalitarian social engineering will entail a subordination of the study of physics to that of chemistry, whose medical science base will be required to produce new applications of biological sciences for the regimentation of the individual, of crowds, and of entire populations. Extensive torture and mass exterminations will be unavoidable under such conditions. Criminal elements seeking world domination have rooted their philosophy in the cartel economic model that attacks all forms of economic competition, and brutishly enforces a total secrecy upon societies under its oppressive control, for that very purpose. Those criminal elements have gained extensive experience in subduing and ending the National Party government’s military activities in Mozambique, Angola, and Namibia. They are now poised to apply the same ‘solution’ to the USA’s efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Yet reliable and accurate statistics would have shown that the death toll among Africans on the subcontinent has by no means fallen – on the contrary, the incidence of HIV-Aids, cancer, and many other life-threatening diseases, have hugely increased the death toll – while political instability is hourly exacerbated in a strategy by which Robert Mugabe is blamed in the media for the effects of ruthless machinations by apparatchiki seeking to destroy Zimbabwe in a bid to collude with global powers seeking African commodities – in punishment for Mr. Mugabe’s refusal to surrender the country’s mineral wealth to his concealed tormentors.

The pretence at liberal democracy, complete with endless lip service to ‘human rights’, ‘political correctness’, and ‘constitutional democracy’ is the preferred political vehicle to be deployed in a bid for world domination by the criminal element now seeking to incapacitate the USA in its traditional role as the defender of nations against communist invasions. The ultimate purpose behind the drive is to reduce the status of the human being to that of a cipher – a member of a global proletariat from which no individual will ever again emerge to enjoy the freedoms, privileges, and amenities of civilization that have been taken for granted over the past five decades in north America and Europe.

Anglo American de Beers now presents South African markets with advertisements of glittering diamonds, suggesting that such jewels will be accessible to ordinary people. But those who covertly sponsor Bishop Tutu’s career benefit far more from marketing exercises of that kind than do the powerful British-based owners of the South African resources sector, who are abused in a process that renders their country increasingly vulnerable to global powers seeking increased purchase upon Britain’s traditional role as the world’s soberest social laboratory. Diamond smugglers around the globe and their partners in the heroin trade contribute to the rise of a totalitarianism in which the Anglo-Saxon world will be wholly subjected to the vagaries of Asian powers that have never developed institutions capable of sustaining the underpinnings of democratic modernism. Zimbabwe’s truly fabulous diamond reefs are coveted, not for the manufacture of jewellery, as the media pretend, but for a thousand industrial applications, without which global economies could as little advance their interests as they could without oil and other strategic energy resources. The Zimbabwean diamond industry is subjected to astonishingly powerful economic forces. That, precisely, is the perspective that concealed, malign manipulators seek at all costs to withhold from the South African and global audiences of their media.

The kind of law and order protected by South Africa on the subcontinent and by the USA in the Middle East would never have needed to degenerate to an abuse of military hegemony, had not a concealed, malignant element engineered an aggressive defiance by underdeveloped peoples of superior power prosecuting a necessary peace in the interests of future regional development. The presence of that concealed element is discernible to all accustomed to the tactics of criminal elements that have abused British colonialism in Africa – which was never in itself a scourge among native populations, since it developed colonized regions and informed their populations with essential values. And it is discernible in the atrocities that Africans continue to suffer under communism, even as the USA is blamed in the global mass media for the effects of those atrocities.

Media, Law, and Medicine

In Current affairs and the economy on November 21, 2008 at 9:52 am

In the previous port entry to this blog, Life after Earth, the following paragraph occurred:

‘It was shown that the means by which an individual soul can continue to exist in the bodies of others has been discovered, and that the surgical technique of the heart transplant is instrumental in the mystery. It may be that the heart is amenable to being engrafted upon other fibres of the body, and that the rejection symptoms that plagued early experiments had been overcome by those means. Therefore the faculty of memory may be encoded even in small sections of the heart, making it unnecessary to transplant the entire organ if the narrow objective is to retain the identity of the donor with its full store of memory intact and accessible in a living body, rather than to retain the original body. Be the case as it may, old hearts can live on in young bodies. The fanatic obsession with stem cell growth may be rooted in the need to grow bodies around hearts, and to renew the hearts, restoring damage.’

In one of the recurring motifs of the film series The Matrix, the aggressive John Smith characters who menace the heroes and heroines of the story plot have an uncanny ability to perpetually self-duplicate. The logical conclusion to be drawn from information given in the quoted paragraph is that, if a small part of a heart could be engrafted upon the heart of a recipient, and the faculty of memory could be retained intact and accessible as the recipient’s body continues to grow and his mind continues to develop, then one donor could inhabit a hundred different recipient bodies. It appears that, since the donor heart comes encrypted with a lifetime of experience and volition-impulses in its fibres and nerve-centres, the body of the recipient has been found in cases of great age discrepancy to be altogether susceptible to the prerogatives of the older person, as the case would be if both donor and recipient had operated in a permanent relationship such as that of a parent and child or teacher and pupil – the younger personality defers to the superior experience and authority of the older one. It seems that The Matrix was conceived chiefly as a master key for a political offensive by which, in daily conversation, all arguments everywhere are won by irrational belligerents – through the applications of bio-genetics and other elements of medical science by which security services achieve their socio-political effects in matters of national and international diplomacy – the tedious Chinese Kung Fu sequences of the films representing those conversational duels in symbolic form. Thus the dynamic by which aggressive personalities and harsh characters dominate all conversations in domestic, work, and public contexts of daily life, giving currency to the agenda bringing the international Mafia and its affiliates to world domination, emulates the principle of the strident recipient of a ‘new’ heart, which is really the donor, whose old heart carries the identity of the personality in the body.

The incongruous silence maintained by the media on dangerous elements in such political applications of medical matters, extravagant praise flowing from popular media formats such as Oprah for the surgical technique of the heart transplant, holy respect accorded to cardiologists in all walks of life, although their need for more business drives the dynamic, and entertainment value derived from those dangerous elements in violent, bizarre cult films seemingly better enjoyed by children suffering from vicious upbringing than by adults of requisite cultural background and responsible political views – are functions of the subversive role played by Western media in contemporary affairs. The term ‘subversive’ has long been reduced to one exclusively denoting fashionable statements as weapons of war against Christianity, the market economy, and democracy – suggesting a covert assault from a force representing Islam, cartel economics, and communism.

The hype and rage generated for the cause of stem cell growth and cloning, even in reputable publications such as The Economist and Time magazine, in articles that invariably include an under-handed side-swipe at the American president, proceed amidst a thunderous silence on the aggressively political dimension mentioned here. Nor do television series featuring discussion on the production of major films ever mention the practice in which the Mafia prosecutes its covert agenda by means of a process of legislation in real time, based on the premise that silence denotes consent – which renders the viewer unwittingly complicit in the establishment of a totalitarian regime whose provisions are calculated to oppress and abs rove him for the benefit of his globally-based national enemy.

The matter of HIV-Aids must be seen in the context supplied above.

Nowhere in three thousand years of recorded history has the symptoms of HIV-Aids ever been mentioned before it became possible for biological scientists to create viruses and syndromes in laboratories. Therefore it must be deduced that in the regions where the incidence of the murderous disease is highest, largely as a result of very high rates of chronic alcoholism – namely Africa and Russia – a totalitarian social engineering offensive operates behind the dissimulations generated by the media on the state of affairs and on its causes. That parts of India are now contaminated suggests many things; perspective can be obtained only by collating a series of political correspondences and combining them with those already mentioned in this blog, in the hope of eliciting feedback through which the general theory that will be attempted here could be corroborated. Certainly, it would be foolish to discount the effects of the south Asian heroin trade, which emanates from the poppy fields of neighbouring Afghanistan, and is sustained by means of the immense capital power accruing to international organized crime through drug sales in the global child market.

The USA was the first country to be attacked by HIV-Aids. But the disease proved no match for the American market economy culture. The major film Philadelphia, featuring Tom Hanks, appeared speedily, and presented powerful shock value, which galvanized the targeted trendy East Coast gay set into action. It united against the threat of HIV-Aids, obtained the world’s support through massive and sustained media focus on the threat, concentrated funds into goal-directed programs to radically alter life-styles targeted by the syndrome, and overcame it. The African story is horribly different. The continent was woefully under-resourced in the teeth of the attack; sub-Saharan Africa was overwhelmed by the utter lack of coordinated and focused media support and disastrous effects of the vanquished state of its ancient socio-economic structures. Russia experienced the template dynamics by which dozens of African states have been totally destroyed upon gaining independence from the British Empire. Russia found the blessings of democracy denied to its populations; it was forced instead to grasp at alternative solutions, among which communism was rendered the preferred outcome by the covert powers applying pressure through a series of national calamities that targeted Russian morale and galvanized strong men into pragmatic action.

It has already been pointed out that the need for African commodities and strategic mineral resources play a large part in the troubles experienced by the continent. In that regard the recent media pronouncement that US president-elect Barack Obama will not be likely to take much note of Africa is disingenuous: an Africa that will continue to degenerate under the pressure of exacerbating socio-economic decay will soon present a very serious threat to international security. The USA has a duty to ensure that responsible political policies are pursued and economically feasible developments established.

The media continually attack the USA’s military preparedness. However, that constitutes the chief difference between America, Africa, and Russia in the matter of vulnerability to the threat of HIV-Aids. The USA has functioned over the past six decades as the world’s watch-dog against attacks on nation-states, particularly where communist revolutions accompanied them. Africa, on the other hand, has no efficient military capability to be mobilized ageist any target save itself: Africa is being destroyed by the irrational hatred for governments inculcated into the sensibilities of its populations by concealed, malign manipulators of the media and of socio-political effects by means of bio-genetics and by other applications of medical science, through protocols prosecuting malignant management effects. That those responsible for the destruction of Africa cannot be brought to account by the world that it deceives to its detriment, constitutes the principal threat to international security, for the same covert force is attacking the USA. Russian military action has been constrained by American and British media efforts. However, although the focus on potential Russian belligerence remains very powerful, few resources can be spared to combat a long and deep frontier of offensives on other Anglo-American concerns – of which the internal media assault on the resilience of both countries have represented by far the most significant victory for their common national enemy.

The role of the law in the new unconventional forms of warfare is fundamental.

In South Africa, the police services have found themselves targeted by armed criminals at may levels. Firstly, in the regular armed robberies that have for fifteen years comprised an ongoing war, in which the country’s ablest young men are daily mowed down as collateral damage on both sides. Secondly, in an avalanche of attacks directed in the global mass media against their top structures and their rank and file alike. Thirdly, in assassinations of top police officers who come too close to key members of families advancing the hidden agendas of Global Organized Crime, in an offensive grossly misrepresented in the local media. Fourthly, in an ongoing war against competent cops which comprises the abuse of their families in feuds, domestic violence, drugs abuse, deviant sexual behavior, the effects of media violence on social interactions, and other deleterious effects of the vernacular consumer society protected against itself by police officers until they are killed by it.

A good example of the effects of media violence on the police is furnished by a recent delivery from the series The Wire, which hopes to support efforts in Baltimore, Maryland, to combat the rampant heroin trade, which must have become focused on the city for the purpose of getting to nearby Washington DC. Things proceed as planned in the well-managed police program – until the media muscle in on the mayor’s office, demanding action in the fight against the drug lords. The mayor capitulates under the pressure of media violence to the effect that he sits on his hands whenever he is not playing his fiddle while Rome burns. As the direct result, the police are coerced into acting prematurely. The outcome is graphically depicted. As three officers sit waiting in a car in a dark alley while a fourth ascends the stairs of a tenement structure to lure a suspect into an undercover arrest, dark figures suddenly appear around a corner. ‘Snitches!’, they hiss, and open fire, shooting out all the windows, and causing the vehicle to drop to the ground as its wheels are deflated by the rain of bullets sprayed at those inside, who are shown afterwards to lie drenched in blood and gore in the garrotted car. Having learned their lesson the hard way, the police and the mayor resolve to resist further assaults from the media. But the crime bosses have changed their tactics. They now demand a pile of dope on the mayor’s table for the media to film, citing pressure from the local black community abs roved and murdered by them. Again the mayor capitulates. When the police oblige, it finds itslef laughed out of court by the glib, respected lawyers representing the drug lords, along with its pile of dope and its painstakingly developed lawsuit.

In South Africa, the war waged on society through the horrific effects of drug smuggling take precedence even over the fanatical Islam revolution against Christianity: the concealed, malign manipulators who drive both those agendas manipulate the law to such an extent that when parents assemble an organization called People Against Gangsters and Drugs, the concerned parents are imprisoned, and the global mass media sustain hideous smear campaigns against them, branding them criminals and gang leaders, and the media intimidate them by filming them in their houses – even as the limousines of respected drug lords and their powerful lawyers glide magisterially by in plain view.

About ten years ago, the South African Family Advocate was brutally murdered, but instead of eliciting very grave misgivings on the power of organized crime to assassinate legal office-bearers at the highest level, the event was attended by a tidal wave of vociferous invective against the dispossessed starvelings whose lives could have been saved, had not the Family Advocate obtained vital information on the identities of the murderous criminals who target South African families for the purpose of increasing their revenue margins through the effects of crime that accrue to their off-shore accounts. There can be no reason at all to imagine that those responsible for the death of the Family Advocate were not also the same concealed, malign manipulators who sought to destroy the South African Commissioner of the International Police. Yet that is where the most powerful weapon in the arsenal of organized crime resides: in the capability to conceal from the public the fact that the elements attacking children are also the elements attacking the police. The gulf of dissociation between the two matters empowers criminals to destroy not only Africa, but also America.

Barriers against perception are erected in all departments of society through effects passed off as official work by the security services. Biases and prejudices given currency through news broadcasts are routinely deployed as weapons of war against democratic constituencies in order to advantage communist parties, for the targeted group has no voice with which to protest; concealed, malign manipulators of the media control all public communications for the purpose of abs roving, corrupting, and murdering members of the society that they pretend to serve – exactly as the case has been in all the most atrocious and wasteful conventional wars of recorded history. The factor making it all possible is the media. Within families, parents and children are ranged in positions of severe antagonism by means of the deployment of violent emotions in irrational arguments, and by means of the perpetual covert introduction of effects engendering crime and vice. The same regime applies at the workplace, where the violent, irrational, brutish boss (who is an ordinary human being away from the office) keeps those too intelligent to be lied to in a cage of an arrested society, where human intercourse is constrained solely to the dynamic obtaining between any unreconstructed sadist and his or her victim. That harsh totalitarian regime is driven by deeply disturbed criminals rendered untouchable through the effects of doctored legislation, which may originally have been intended to secure the covert moves of undercover agents in matters of national security, but which now serve to empower the concealed Stalin’s, Hitler’s, and Mussolini’s of the New Millennium – who happen to be the constituency driving a perpetual war against leaders of responsible democracies and against leaders of poor African countries with immense deposits of strategic mineral resources.

The television format of soap opera serves as a template for an agenda advancing the criminal element considered here. As a result of soap opera, the most morbid and bizarre behavior to have driven its story plots over several decades have been passed off as perfectly acceptable to sane people. The horrible incongruity of that presumption goes unnoticed because those in positions to profit from the corrupt societal dynamics and the hopelessly absurd view of the human condition expounded in soap opera deem such behavior useful. However, the sadistic element in relationships subjected to coercion is accessible only to criminals, not to people seeking recourse against criminals. By the same dirty trick, popularity is engineered for the Harry Potter books and films, which make children believe that they will be empowered to do magic (that is, violent) things to others – whereas Harry Potter prepares children for a foolish and oppressive world that could make soap opera seem ethically acceptable once they grow up. The morally comatose cough potato fails to appreciate such issues due to the effects of severe conditioning, through which his critical faculty has been utterly abolished, and his sense of social responsibility has never been permitted to develop.

The same malignant dynamic of dissimulation obtains in the popular current genre characterised by CIS – strategic advantages offered by medical forensics to police services are supposed to serve the public. But an intelligent appraisal of this argument should reveal that, once again, the criminal element is advantaged instead. Aspirant criminals are perfectly sensible to the great benefits awaiting criminals, and the comparatively serious disadvantages experienced by police services. Every second film shows such viewers how suave and debonair criminals are, and how obtuse and reprehensible policemen are. The effects of those suggestions, and millions more obtained from a lifetime of addiction to soap opera, infiltrate the sensibilities of those watching CIS, and move them to view medical forensics as an opportunity, not a deterrent.

Moreover, as has been shown to obtain in the film series The Matrix, and in soap opera generally, the cases shown to be investigated by detectives in television series such as CIS could very well serve to impel a malignant agenda by means of a perpetual formulation of protocols required for the setting of legal precedents, by the provisions of which new orders of crime may be facilitated – for ever after to be committed with impunity, by right of media violence defending the inalienable and sacrosanct constitutionality of the legislation involved – particularly in shameful Third World communist cesspools of graft and vice such as abound in Africa and Latin America – while a strenuous pretence is made in the media of the benefits to agencies of law and order. Tactics of that nature are effected independently of the makers of the television productions: they are imputed into the program via the very same applications of medical science as those targeting family and workplace situations and relationships.

In societies where the law has come under the control of criminals, medical science is abused for criminal purposes, and political and economic change is effected by the techniques of fundamental social engineering developed under such conditions. The quality of life rapidly plunges to zero, and a fearsome rule of terror blots out freedom of speech along with justice and sanity. If the media are also controlled by criminals, the regime’s horrific effects on ordinary people cannot reach the public. Worse, those who might deploy all resources at their disposal in an effort to rescue the stricken society from such effects, are blamed for them, and the public becomes complicit in its own destruction.

The state of affairs constituted by those means and effects confronts the human race with the most formidable challenge of its entire history. It needs to overcome a scourge ten times worse than the abuses shown in its media – but the enemy, which controls the global mass media, has prevented it from making the international community aware of the nature of the threat

Life after Earth

In Current affairs and the economy on November 19, 2008 at 8:44 am

Science and technology have now developed to the point at which it may be said with complete confidence that ‘impossible is nothing’. Over a period of several years, a Scottish-Danish-owned vessel has been navigating the icy wastes of the North Sea, conducting secret experiments in stem cell growth and other departments of bio-genetics, experiments in other domains of secret knowledge of the human body, and experiments with the agencies and powers governing the prerogatives of the human person. Yet the fruits of that powerful knowledge may perhaps never be made known to the public, since those who own it might put it to uses that would render the public irrelevant.

Indeed, that point must already have been reached, since concealed, malign manipulators of human life have long played cat-and-mouse games with world leaders – the presidents of powerful countries with powerful defence forces, and the billionaire shareholders who own the blue-chip companies of the nations represented by them. The gods, the divine beings who determine the course of history, disdain to declare themselves to those subjected to their ordinances, for none can bring them to account. Scorning the need of lesser mortals to aspire to recognition and fame, they make their subjects famous, as concealed puppet-masters do with their puppets.

The puppet most recently made famous was United States president-elect Barack Obama. But to presume that it was done for his convenience, or for the public’s convenience, could under the circumstances prove to miss the point about fame in the modern world. For those who control all information, and who decide who may know what, and when, and why, have decided to immortalise themselves.

Having obtained sufficient medical knowledge to keep themselves alive indefinitely, provided that they can maintain a travelling laboratory, the gods are now equipped to endure the two-thousand-year journey required to make it to a distant planet identified as suitable for the cultivation of organic life. Having resolved to embark upon that millennial adventure, however, they find that dumb, smelly humanity presents them with considerable vexations, being utterly insensible to the merits of the notion. A plan must therefore be made to tighten control over the sprawling, amorphous mass of teeming multitudes obstructing the agenda that will one day culminate in the boarding of Noah’s Ark.

The Earth may be left behind for good.

Although the fact is not commonly known, the Earth is not solid, but liquid, consisting as it does of a mixture of molten metal and stone, called ‘magma’ – although it is thought that its inner core could be solid, since there the high densities due to massive gravitational pressure would prevent all combustion of oxygen. Still, the thin crust at the Earth’s surface, which floats on the liquid interior in the form of twenty enormous tectonic plates, supporting the oceans and continents, seems sufficiently rocky to perceptions accessible to human timeframes – although from a broader view, in which alternating day and night might present a vibratory blur where centuries tick by like human seconds, rocks will be seen to move in a perpetual flux, like water.

Having studied geology for the purpose of mining the minerals produced by the Earth’s liquid interior, of which deposits perpetually find their way to the surface, wherever cracks in the divisions between the floating tectonic plates permit passage, or wherever volcanoes, chimneys venting lava, deposit layers of it on the surface crust – the prime movers of organic life on Earth achieved such excellent purchase upon the behaviour of human beings, through the patterns of trade generated by their minerals, whose industrial applications soon dominated affairs – that they found recourse to turning their attention to the ultimate material for works of creation – the living, amino-acid-based, malleable plasma of flesh and blood, the vehicle for the most precious commodity of all – life.

However, the human mind is a strange thing. Those who discover an advantage over their environment will turn it into a means by which to impose their wills on others: war and crime take precedence over confederate action in all societies where basic tribal homogeneity has been lost as a result of violent discontinuities. During the middle decades of the twentieth century, extraordinary findings of medical science were withheld from the international scientific community by covert research outfits, for strategic purposes. That field of work soon evolved to the point where means became available by which the human body could be controlled from a distance: telemetric. Telemetric medicine heralded the advent of a new age, by which genetically engineered drugs, ingested through commercially distributed food and drink, could convert the body into a living laboratory, whose production of chemical substances could be manipulated, generating emotive motor volitions at will, without the knowledge of the target subject. In combination with ICT surveillance techniques, interactive television, strategies of personalised marketing, and malignant management techniques, telemetric medicine presented those in control of global social engineering with a paradigm by the provisions of which the most advanced sector of the population could achieve absolute control over all humankind.

To those who sought to find commercial applications for their powerful knowledge while retaining control over it, the security services seemed to offer an ideal market for their wares. However, to facilitate the partnership, fundamental amendments had to be effected in the legislation governing medical applications proposed for deployment by the security services, which bought into the deal when it was found that major feats of social engineering could be accomplished through a combination of the means listed above with a cascading array of socio-political protocols.

The technologies and techniques deployed in security work, then, were invented by a constituency adept at spying on the native subjects over whom they exercised stewardship throughout the decades of British colonialism. When that constituency returned to its mother country, it was grievously disenchanted with the prevalent lack of initiative in the application of techniques of social engineering. As a corollary, the socio-political protocols, to be combined with applications of medical science in establishing a modern security network, trended towards a constant pre-occupation with erecting barriers of perception between various social groups. That trend, more than any other, was responsible for the inequalities for which the USA, which represents the market economy, is today blamed in the media. And that trend, combined with the proclivity for spying and the control over communications that characterised the constituency under discussion, was also responsible for the culture of dissimulation that drives the dynamics of today’s vernacular consumer society.

Now that a brief background has been supplied for context, it is possible to develop the argument that the human race might be relegated by those seeking to acquire ownership of all instruments of power and determinants of wealth. They may need it, not for the purpsose of establishing a world empire on Earth, but to establish one on another planet.

It was shown in the previous port at this blog that the means by which an individual soul can continue to exist in the bodies of others has been discovered, and that the surgical technique of the heart transplant is instrumental in the mystery. It may be that the heart is amenable to being engrafted upon other fibres of the body, and that the rejection symptoms that plagued early experiments had been overcome by those means. Therefore the faculty of memory may be encoded even in small sections of the heart, making it unnecessary to transplant the entire organ if the narrow objective is to retain the identity of the donor with its full store of memory intact and accessible in a living body, rather than to retain the original body. Be the case as it may, old hearts can live on in young bodies. The fanatic obsession with stem cell growth may be rooted in the need to grow bodies around hearts, and to renew the hearts, restoring damage.

The two thousand year journey to the new planet will require that a colony of settlers be kept alive on the smallest possible base: every ounce of extra weight will increase the quantity of fuel to be taken on board for use up to the point where the cumulative thrust of isotope propulsion will overtake that of the jet engines. The important thing is that sufficient fuel be retained for the powerful counter-thrust required to perform a safe landing – no-one wishes to collide with the surface of his new home at a fantastic speed after two thousand years of flying. The chief concern, then, is the need to keep the brains that drive the mission in good working order for the duration of twenty centuries. He who drafted the blueprint for the mission must be the first to step out into the new world. Surely the success of such a millennial undertaking could not be ensured otherwise? The computer technology needed to work out those and other logistical problems will require very large amounts of money.

Strange how easily one might forget about the people singing and dancing in the street below, waving placards and hollering demands at the government through megaphones, jeopardising the economy upon which their lives depend, once one gets involved in the economics of colonizing the universe. Yet those people could be useful in earning the revenues needed for the great undertaking. At the very least, they could be trained to adopt a fanatic belief that people seeking to profit from exercising their brains must be summarily excommunicated. That will prevent them from making any demands on precious scarce resources – and, more importantly, it will prevent them form realizing that their enemies steal their resources of wealth, and add insult to injury by execrating their leaders in the global mass media. A still better idea would be to put them to work in earning money for the Enterprise.

To get to the bottom of the matter presented here, the moral dimension involved in it must be examined.

The problem with subjecting all life on Earth to the agenda of building an Ark of some kind, with which to migrate to the nearest alternative habitable planet, is that it is based on a terrible error with respect to the nature of the cycle of birth and death.

As a leaf on a great seasonal tree would achieve little by clinging to life even as autumn dries it out and shrivels it up, or even to engraft itself upon a new young leaf when spring comes, it would do better if it died with the summer. The human body is not subjected to death, decomposition, and a return to the Earth along with all other forms of organic life for no good reason. There is a great portal through which all organisms that have ever existed have passed, and have left this world behind forever. For a few human beings to subject all existence to an absolutely fanatical effort to avoid passing through that portal is therefore incongruous beyond redemption.

The notion that this present life on Earth is the only possible life is far-fetched. That birth into the covenants of this planet, and the subsequent interaction with its ordinances and attributes through the regime of experience that it uniquely offers, at this particular moment in time, should constitute the sum total of the organism’s participation in the world of the spirit through the incarnation principle – still awaits the first shred of evidence to validate it as a proposition upon which to base a theory of existence. Rather, a vast preponderance of evidence suggests that each leaf, insect, bird, fish, and mammal alive represents a reflection of some idea, some form, that functions as a general, original receptacle of becoming for individual manifestations, or incarnations. That proposition may be stated, not because of, but despite Plato’s racialist errors of logic, which have no philosophical correspondence with that fundamental intuition. Further, as a great tree sheds miniscule seeds throughout its long maturity, which are taken up upon spring breezes and swept high up in the air, even into the stratosphere, to be deposited at last in the dark earth on the other side of the world, there to await germination, to take root, and to grow into another great tree – so the case also is with the human soul.

The missing element in the theory concerns the very high probability that life exists on many, many other planets – but that those unique life-sustaining planets are situated at distances altogether beyond the reach of the effects of science and technology; that they can be reached by means of the death of the organism to its present incarnation, and by no other means. Movement between appointed life-sustaining planets is impossible, precisely as it is impossible for the leaf to follow the seedling to the other side of the world, and to grow into a great tree.

Those who deny the possibility of an Act of Creation find themselves on hopelessly uncertain scientific ground. The would understand the matter better if they appreciated that the Act of Creation was accomplished under duress from a force antagonized to life. That highly plausible conclusion is founded on the theory that primordial conditions for the generation of life could be established only on condition that life shall perpetually alternate with death in a process of continual regeneration and reincarnation.

The problem with the notion of reincarnation is that people refuse to quantify the premises of their hypotheses. The ancient legend of the Sumerian sage Ahura Mazda can shed light on the matter. When Ahura Mazda saved the empire from calamity, the emperor sought to reward him. Seeking to teach the emperor that such deeds cannot be appropriately rewarded, but that they are their own reward, Ahura Mazda requested to be compensated as follows: He would be granted a shipment of rice to be calculated as follows: two grains of rice were to be set down as determined by the first left-hand-side square of a chess board, four as determined by the second square, sixteen as per the third, sixty-four for the fourth, and so on, until the chessboard’s entire sixty-four squares had been incorporated into the exponential multiplication formula, as requested. The emperor thought that he had got off lightly – but learned from his advisors, to his embarrassment, that he would fail to oblige, since his empire could not produce even a tenth as much rice as required. So the case also is with the theory of reincarnation. Earth could not support even a fraction of the souls that would throng and clamour at the gateways providing admission to the limited space of realms gracing this district of the Universe hereabouts. Hence the sense of scepticism attaching to the notion of reincarnation is easily overcome by admitting the possibility that organisms travel between different lives among a great many planets over enormous stretches of time.

At least two arguments support that hypothesis. The first is that the Universe is a very old place, and that therefore it may be trusted to have done more work than may be appreciated from a single infinitesimal point in its boundless recesses, and that it is also a very large place, which would not confine the sum total of its proudest achievement, life, at the same said infinitesimal point. The second argument is a logical extension of the ‘anthropomorphic principle’ mentioned in Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time: that if the Universe were made differently, human beings who could ask why the Universe expands and what conditions obtained when the powers that blasted it forth from an infinitely small and dense point, effecting the Big Bang, could not have evolved to the point of asking those questions.

People who despise humanity for its concern with the essence of life – with living – demanding that it concern itself with life’s extremes instead, forget how dangerous the threats to survival are that extremism present. They fail to take into account that Charles Darwin lived and wrote more than two centuries ago – before the notion that life could be created in a laboratory became feasible – or even imaginable. But science needs to move on and to incorporate new knowledge into old beliefs. Cosmological physics needs to be unified with the Theory of Evolution.

Organizations such as the Order of the Rosicrucians and the Church of Scientology have for some considerable time experimented with what is known as ‘out-of-body experiences – or ‘astral travelling’ as it is elsewhere referred to – a science perused by Hindu sages for as far back into history as human memory serves. It is said that a fine, silvery chord connects the material body with the spiritual vehicle, which departs from the physical body on every night of its existence in order to travel to distant planets, and to supplement its Earthly experiences with work done elsewhere.

Nor do those who deny the possibility of strings stretching between distant planets hold a strong position. Stephen Hawking writes in A Brief History of Time, in Chapter 10, The Unification of Physics:

‘In string theories the basic objects are not particles, which occupy a single point in space, but things that have length but no other dimension, like an infinitely thin piece of string. A particle occupies one point of space at each instant of time. Thus its history can be represented by a line in space-time – ‘the world-line’. A string, on the other hand, occupies a line in space at each moment of time. So its history in space-time is a two-dimensional surface called ‘the world-sheet’. It can be described by two numbers: one specifying the time and the other the position of the point on the string.

‘Why do we not notice extra dimensions if they really are there? Why do we see only three space and one time dimension? The suggestion is that the other dimensions are curved up into a space of very small size – so small that we just do not notice it. On a very small scale space-time is ten-dimensional and highly curved, but on bigger scales you do not see the curvature or the extra dimensions. If this picture is correct, it spells bad news for would-be space-travellers: the extra dimensions would be far too small to allow a space-ship through.’

People who think that those who write on the topic of religion talk nonsense should educate themselves by reading cosmological physics and quantum mechanics.

The notion that, since the Universe is rapidly expanding, it must have originated from a single point, has an organic correspondence, not only with the seedling floating on the wind to grow into a giant tree on the other side of the world, but also with that of the human embryo developing from the microscopically small spermatozoon and the scarcely larger ovum, to grow within the span of fifteen years into a being many millions of times the scale of the ovum. There is an organic correspondence between the original Act of Creation and the covenant of human childbirth.

It is wrong to retain people in regimes of enslavement and dehumanization for criminal purposes. When the broader perspective is appreciated, it becomes clear that life on Earth is not an end in itself, but is part of a chain of lives in which the present life facilitates the building of bridges between past and future lives. That broader perspective can be attained only if the creative forces of the Universe and of Nature are duly considered in the scheme of things, rather than if everything is justified from the most obdurately selfish perspective. However, that is not at present permitted, for criminal elements profit from a narrowly barbarous interpretation of the Theory of Evolution: the survival of the most brutish. Or, to put it differently, live creatures might be enslaved, and people dehumanized, but that happens at the expense of the perpetrators, for, as every force has an equal and opposite force in order to balance the physical Universe, so that the Act of Creation might not be calamitously undone by some accident of commerce – so too the direction of causality in every transaction between two sentient beings is set down in consummate detail in records that never can be erased – thus to ensure that all actions will be balanced over the totality of existence in time and space.

The battle between the forces of life and death that attended the Act of Creation continues today. Life is a perpetual war between Good and Evil. Evil is intolerable to the light of day; unless it constantly clothe itself in the garb of Good, and clothe Good in the garb of Evil, it cannot prevail over Good, and cannot therefore accomplish the effects by which it might finally conquer it. The assault on the foundations of existence, by which death seeks to subsume all of life into its ordinances, manifests today in the bid by a small committee of concealed potentates to usurp the prerogatives of childbirth for criminal purposes. Absolute Evil is moving to undo the Act of Creation.

The foundation of that desperate plot was laid when a group of fanatic scientific researchers lost touch with reality. Having cut themselves off from the world in order to avoid having to share the fruits of their black arts, they imagined that, since all life outside their dark and horrid laboratories grew meaningless and remote, the only meaning that remained was that which preoccupied them – namely, not childbirth, youth, truth, and beauty, but only that which could serve in defeating human reality as it was known in domesticity and connubium for perhaps a million years. The element of love had become the ultimate target of their destructive schemes. That was where the notion of usurping all life for themselves exclusively, and that of leaving dumb, smelly humanity behind and to embark upon a journey to a distant planet, were brewed.

Those who seek to destroy all life in the process of usurping all instruments of power and all determinants of wealth for its own exclusive use, fail to appreciate the purpose of the Supreme (a term that I must use until people adopt more intelligent notions of God than those serving mere sexist purposes): to strengthen itself. It accomplishes that task by creating an infinite cosmos for the generation of life forms to be interpenetrated by the Spirit in every possible unique order of being – reflections of the Creative Principle in every mode and aspect, each one of which passes in countless incarnations through a chain of lives across an immense range of time and space, finally to actualize its ultimate potential, and to return upon itself, the objective of the Supreme to strengthen itself at last fully accomplished.

Privilege, Imperialism, and Totalitarianism

In Current affairs and the economy on November 16, 2008 at 7:35 am

These topics should rate as burning issues today. This essay will show why the mass media grossly neglect their duties toward the public wherever they fail to investigate the implications of these issues with a sense of urgency and in great depth.

South African Communists are pitied by the global mass media. But Communists do not need pity. They need access to efficient information – a commodity eminently procurable in a market economy. The regime in which communists are retained is as unjust as it is wasteful. But additional human rights and liberal democracy will not solve those problems. The right kind of education will solve them, since that would focus on the right subjects: science and economics. The humanities cannot be avoided in a society schooled in market economics, only in one schooled in cartel economics, which would proscribe access to efficient information, due to fear of competition in business – and would in the process suppress civil liberties. South Africans will overcome their problems by means of their own achievements in the application of scientific and economic knowledge, and by no other means. The African spirit of humanism, Ubuntu, will prevail under those circumstances, and under no others. Therefore the African focus should be on how to generate additional capital production, not on how best to exploit the effects of those who do focus on it.

The term ‘traitor’ has gone out of fashion. Those who control the media have removed it from circulation, so that no attention will be drawn to the insurrection against democracy that is today constituted by African Communism – since China and Russia have categorically abjured historical materialism and have embraced the market economy as their preferred vehicle for national advancement, and no justification can be found for Africans to convert to a discredited ideology. Yet ‘traitor’ would be a very appropriate term by which to denote the activities of British nationals seeking to entrench Communism in Africa regardless – for the purpose of preventing economic development from establishing powerful economies and governments capable of resisting the pillage of African strategic mineral resources by foreigners continuing to abuse the prerogatives of colonialism.

I have long ago concluded that the phenomenon of Communism is today a function of careful planning and continual hard work on the parts of privileged personages concealed from the glare of public media on strength of their control over those media. In 1991, when the Berlin Wall fell, and the former socialist Soviet republics won independence, efforts to justify communism revealed the moral bankruptcy of those who would betray Western values for the purpose of earning higher margins for trade in African, south American, and south Asian strategic mineral resources than could be obtained by honest means.

Those traitors of Western values comprise criminal elements that had long abused British colonialism by means of the murderous covert hegemony wielded by African blood diamond cartels. Angered by the loss of revenue to them that would result from British reform of colonialist policies, and angered, for the same reasons, by president Reagan’s initiatives in liberating East Germany, upon whose oppression their lucrative abuse of African Communism depended – those traitors resolved to punish not only Britain and the United States for their temerity in reducing their profit margins, but the Third World, for its temerity in escaping their ruthless exploitation. Having long fooled both their native subjects in colonies and their original principals in Britain by means of media violence and equivocation, the traitors set out to accomplish the objective that had inflamed every barbarous elite of every conquest in recorded history, from the Mycenaean sack of Troy to Hitler’s Third Reich and Stalin’s Soviet purges: to defeat the entire human race by means of lies and dirty tricks. They embarked upon a bid for unconditional world domination.

But they were going to do it by means of a fundamentally more intelligent strategy than any attempted before – although that would prove no less cruel, but, as a result of the rapid advancement of technology, even more bestial. The fundamental competitive advantage would lie in a new ability to conceal the effects of the war upon the world.

Feeling certain that in the New Millennium, an era typified by extraordinary inequalities, the formal market economy could be punished for making life so difficult for criminals, the traitors required a universal idiom by the provisions of which the world’s rich and poor countries could be set in dispositions of mutual antagonism for the benefit of the covert middleman. Consciously or unconsciously, a media strategy was devised to gain control over the natural human propensities driving industrial and scientific development. They would invert the modernist creed: human worth would henceforth be haughtily measured by the global mass media in terms of a brutish norm antagonized to human nature, and the blame would be placed on American capitalism, distracting attention from the tradition of British colonialism, and neutralizing the superpower in the process.

Also, Israel, the source of modern ethics, and a highly efficient social model to serve as an example in a Middle East rendered dysfunctional through the interference of colonial powers seeking access to energy resources, was isolated and targeted for intolerance and persecution.

Exploiting the distortions of logic offered by Marxist historicism and Hegelian dialectical rhetoric, the manipulators set about changing perceptions of wealth forever. A hierarchy would be entrenched in terms of a mythologizing of personal fortune, or net worth. A scale would be publicized by which the physical length and social stature of an ordinary worker’s foreman would be set at twice that of the worker, since the foreman earns about twice the worker’s salary. The worker’s supervisor would reach a size of about four times that of the worker, due to his four times better salary. His social status would be represented correspondingly. A manager would be measured at about seven times the worker’s significance, reflecting a seven-fold better salary, and so on. Functioning thus on bodily and social stature in terms of earnings, the scale deployed in media representations of class differences would cruelly exaggerate the privileges and power of the rich, and the comparative decrepitude of the poor.

The length of a professional such as a general practitioner or engineer would be shown at the height of a ten-story building. The highly-paid CEO of a blue-chip company would tower over all the aforementioned, where his head and shoulders would disappear into the clouds a full mile above the Earth’s surface. Billionaires, such as, say, Oprah Winfrey, would lumber into view as giants of three miles in length, blotting out the sun and casting an enormous shadow over the Earth, which would shake beneath their tread. Of Warren Buffett and Bill Gates one would see little more than their gigantic, gleaming shoes of almost a mile in length, since those two venerable sages would stand seven miles tall in those shoes, crushing mere mortals and their houses with every step taken in any direction – modern-day Gullivers in the Land of Liliput.

The traitors may not have invented the mythology, but they certainly deployed it as a weapon against their American competitors. They had calculated that, although communism has been discredited, the underdeveloped masses could be roused to acts of terrorism against those thought responsible for the composition of such a world – and they elevated the art of placing blame by means of the global mass media to the status of a lethal weapon. Concealed, malign manipulators have long abused the vernacular consumer society that they have helped to shape, for the purpose of putting the two sides of a divide created by terrible injustices to work in destroying each other. It should surprise no-one that the underdeveloped world greeted the news of the 2008 ‘global meltdown’ with something like a sense of poetic justice, where adversity seems to have at last overtaken the arrogant capitalists.

However, Communists will be rudely disabused, for, as shown here, the world is ruled neither by democratically elected world leaders nor the capitalist shareholders of the world’s best companies – but by concealed criminals surreptitiously in control of the global mass media. The powerful totalitarian imperialists who manipulate communists have no intention of informing them on the nature of their situation – they intend only to increase the agitation of their emotions, leaving no room for reflection – and to blame all ill effects on the market economy and the democratic governments that comprise it in the Christian West.

South Africans have cause to feel certain of that perversity in the nature of contemporary affairs, because the assault on their freedom of speech is intensified whenever they mention the criminal manipulators’ agenda in casual conversation and mundane social interactions. In my own experience, many examples of direct responses to my writing come to mind. One example turns on the fact that all technology has been usurped by a covert, mysterious force that manipulates machines by telemetric means, even as it coerces human behaviour through techniques of social engineering rooted in biological sciences and the deployment of genetically engineered drugs.

The global mass media reflect a battle for supremacy between two opposed camps: the progressive constituency, and the criminal constituency. But the criminal constituency, being in control of the media, is free to represent itself as Divine Authority Swooping Down From Heaven to Effect Intervention in Human Issues. As an inevitable corollary, the international public falls victim to comprehensive, fundamental deception, moving it to support the criminal element and to antagonize the democratic governments that could protect it, unaware of the harm done in the process, in which criminals benefit from momentum built up through the effects of mass herd behaviour – which advances a bid to establish a totalitarian regime in despite of the ground gained by Democracy over centuries of societal development. It is in that light that the recent US presidential elections must be seen if an adequate defence is to be obtained for democracy.

On days when the concealed constituency seeking to coerce me into solidarity with its agenda reflects a strong presence in the evening news bulletin, commenting on aspects of my writing in ways by which its hidden agenda is prosecuted to best advantage, certain difficulties are clarified for me regarding iterative minor and temporary malfunctions encountered in using the technology employed in producing my commentary for the day. (Even now, as I seek to re-publish this port in moderated form, the door of the office where the internet connection is housed cannot be opened: the locks are jammed.) But as the progressive constituency regains the upper hand, my writing proceeds fluently once more, since no encumbrances obtrude. That change might move me, for example, to read symbolic correspondences between, say Jeep, when that vehicle represents Mr. Zuma’s Communist constituency, which on such days will invariably have driven past my door several times, and certain events covered in the evening news, during which Mr. Zuma’s demeanour will show me that he has been encouraged to feel assured of my unconditional support. The black Jeep to be seen near Mr. Zuma in news inserts will in that case reflect agreement among the powers behind the day’s events on my alleged solidarity with him and his Communist constituency. Yet those who read the previous two entries of this blog will learn that my consistent assessment of Mr. Zuma’s position sets me in diametric opposition to it.

Concealed, malign manipulators of human affairs demonstrate by those means that words and political convictions mean equally little to those licensed to contradict words, and to reverse the effects of their target victims’ convictions, at a moment’s notice – which they routinely effect by any number of means, involving the dynamics of the vernacular consumer society with its interactions between advertisements, soap opera, and manipulated family conversations. As a matter of statutory law, the manipulators are free to avoid accountability by switching between the effects of societal categories whenever they are criticised. Thus they demonstrate that freedom of speech is not accessible to the public, but only to those who use others as their tools in processes by which socio-economic decay is exacerbated and Communism championed – so that powerful concealed criminals may profit from the effects of poverty, ignorance, disease, and violence.

Power can no longer be measured in terms of earnings, or net worth, in currency alone. Power is now a function of influence over the process by which a combination of effects involving the medical profession, the legal system, and the international security services generate events to be reported in the global mass media. Concealed potentates whose inputs have been instrumental in establishing the present world order are in a position to negotiate any outcome of their choice at a forum composed within a bureau whose workings are a mystery to the public, except insofar as ‘science-fiction’ movies like The Matrix point in the direction where the public would look if it could know that the symbolisms of such films articulate an organic correspondence to a separate reality, in which every person alive partakes of a ‘virtual’ existence: a ‘career’ comprised of the uses to which he or she is put by interactions between the security services and the potentates who designed the hidden system, or continue to design it through a process of legislation formulated in real time.

The ‘bureau’ referred to is unlikely to be one of bricks and mortar; it will be a ‘virtual’ operations room comprising a committee of powerful individuals who represent a global network of security organizations collaborating with the global mass media, with governments, multilateral organizations such as the United Nations, and with a broad array of companies, including the cartels, namely OPEC, Anglo American / de Beers, and Gazprom / Rosneft, the Russian natural gas and oil suppliers.

The point is that the ‘bureau’ under discussion has been infiltrated by criminal elements, as may be ascertained from evidence of the destructive effects of totalitarian political and economic agendas around the globe, reflecting the actions of a grossly irresponsible element which, at that level, could emanate only from a misanthropic mendacity behind hidden agendas devoid of any political vision representing the prerogatives of the essential human condition.

I shall append further allusions to the ‘separate reality’ mentioned above as my interactions with those whom I ultimately address develop with time.

Fortunately, Mr. Nathi Mthethwa, South Africa’s new Minster of Safety and Security, is an intelligent man. More importantly, he is focused on his goal: to curb the effects of organized crime. However, I am certain that he receives less efficient information than he would need if he must have a fair chance to reach his objectives. Still, he gives every indication of being the kind who could succeed even without a fair chance. Mr. Mthethwa’s assessments of the South African situation reflect fundamental purchase on the character and motivation of Global Organized Crime, and on its centralized and mobile nature – essential insights without which any hope of seizing the initiative would be unjustifiable, since criminals are favoured by constraints demanding of legal institutions to respond to crime after the fact; by definition, they cannot pro-actively operate in a preventative mode – for if they did, civil liberties could be violated. Hence the distinct preference shown by crime syndicates for operating upon societies subjected to pretences of liberal democracy. If Mr. Mthethwa must succeed in protecting South Africans, he needs to embrace conservative politics. He knows that. But manipulators of the media will seek to defeat him by rendering uninformed Communists antagonistic to his position, or by having them usurp his position for the benefit of the criminal element.

Mr. Trevor Manuel is moved to say that the actions of unfettered markets constitute one of the important causes of the present ‘global meltdown’. Yet those markets may not be so ‘unfettered’ as he and other capitalists would imagine. Mr. Previn Gordam has warned that SARS is already aware of 180 organizations presently abusing the VAT system. That observation reflects no more than the tip of an enormous iceberg. Once the effects of the heroin trade in the global child market are factored into equations pertaining to the alleged freedom of markets anywhere outside the accounts of Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, a different picture will emerge.

Contemporary crime is rooted in medical science. The most important examples of criminal industries operating in tandem with the heroin trade in the global child market are organ trafficking, the enormous and growing cancer industry which supports it with a constant and rapidly growing demand for organs, and human trafficking, which supplies the high end of the market with young bodies to serve as recipients in heart transplants, thus to extend the lives of affluent clients.

The heart transplant has long ago become a vehicle for severe abuse. It is now possible to perform it on the basis of an act of murder: the heart of a child victim is surgically removed, and the heart of an affluent, aged client implanted into the young body. Since the faculty of memory, and thus identity, is ultimately constituted in a symbiotic interaction between the brain and the heart, in the fibres of which all experience is biologically recorded – and not in the brain alone, as the public is criminally given to believe – the aged client is granted a second life in the perfectly healthy body of the child, whose death by murder is justified on grounds by which it is grotesquely equated to a motor vehicle into which a new engine is mounted – as it would be in a lucrative, criminal, ‘chop-shop’ venture, where a stolen Rolls Royce engine could be disguised beneath the body of a Mini Cooper to deceive the police. The surgical technique passes as legitimate in hospital records, but life-and death emergencies are not in all cases the justification for transplants. A burgeoning ‘immortality industry’ has evolved out of the technique, licensing an array of gross abuses by the criminal cartel culture that drives it, through the enforcement of a conspiracy of silence upon the security services and legal institutions – as facilitated by the dubious practises of the totalitarian Communist system outlined above.

Thus the monstrous industry thrives, while the world’s attention is riveted on endlessly publicized alleged shortcomings of the one thing that could cure the worst of modern ills: the market economy model of capitalism.

Several sinister dimensions attach to chronic abuse of the surgical technique of the heart transplant: it is now possible to deploy it for the purposes of espionage: it could facilitate a perfect disguise for agents requiring anonymity in covert operations of the unconventional war waged by Global Organized Crime upon the world, which colludes with international communism and the bloc of cartels, thus unifying southern Africa, south America, Russia, and the Caucasus with the Middle East in a spearhead against Christianity, law and order, democracy, and market economy capitalism. The present state of affairs in international security could make the Cold War look like child’s play. British ownership of African blood diamond cartels, and the work of criminal elements flourishing beneath the cover of a secrecy murderously enforced with the assistance of criminal apparatchiki deriving legitimacy from African Communism, gives credence to covert operations by which strategic mineral resources are supplied to Indo-Chinese special interests requiring the underdeveloped world’s commodities for the Asian giants’ hungry economies. In the process the smuggling of contraband is facilitated, and the sinister practises sketched here are entrenched to generate a culture of criminality, the elements of which converge in many parts of the world into a strategy of war.

An even more sinister element attaching to organ transplants is comprised of chronic abuse of the cancer industry. Political opponents of the totalitarian criminal- Communist alliance become target victims when one of their children present with terminal cancer – and the cancer count in blood tests diminish whenever the target parents comply with the anonymous personalized instructions of the Mafia, but augment when they fail to comply with them. Such parents are easily targeted as applicants seeking organ donors, and could be subjected to the same horrific abuse as that by which homeless starvelings from the economically compromised sector are daily forced to volunteer as accomplices in serious crimes such as armed robbery – which lead in many instances to their deaths. In cases where the terminal stage of cancer cannot be staved off, target parents who can afford it might be persuaded to procure an African child to serve as a recipient body for their child’s heart.

An element yet more sinister than that is best understood by focusing on the intersection between the abuses of medical science sketched above with the societal effects of the heroin trade. Enforcement of addiction to heroin is a preferred technique by which the children of influential conservatives in many countries, including the most economically advanced ones, are abused as instruments by which to destroy the parents’ careers, and thus to weaken political resilience to criminality – a dynamic graphically demonstrated in the film Traffic, featuring Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas. Worse, the Harry Potter books and films have assisted Global Organized Crime in the establishment of a dramatis personae for the theatrical dynamic by means of which children may be sexually abused by an array of weird, darkly enhanced adults, for whose benefit eccentric characteristics and a range of hallucinatory discontinuities of reason and normality may condition the children into acceptance of the effects of graft and vice upon their expectations of societal interactions. Thus the astonishingly lucrative sale of heroin could proceed in synchronicity with that of the equally lucrative sale of child pornography to the global network of paedophiles retained in good health by the international Mafia for that purpose.

The most sinister element of all concerns that part of the heart transplant procedure by which multi-millionaires of advanced age could be pressurized to part with their money under the influence of false pretences and promises of future lives that offer them Heaven on Earth. Yet an aged, affluent target victim could awaken after a traumatic heart transplant, only to be confronted by the soul-shattering reality of life in the body of a small child with the huge heart of an adult beating in its chest. The convalescent ‘child’s’ money could have been confiscated, and he could be subjected to brutish regimentation in an alternative ontology whose provisions proscribe all mention of the onerous dilemmas daily encountered by the recipient of the ‘new’, old, heart, and therefore of the psychological alienation attending the process of adaptation to a life in hiding. In that position of utter subordination, the victim’s status could at any moment be reduced to the level of a toy car being radio-controlled from a distance. The magnitude of personality disorders injected into society by means of such conspiracies against the human estate is far greater than the authorities realize. Brilliant, powerful personages invidiously trapped in the world of children could be coerced into accomplishing major acts of espionage, terrorism, or war – in exchange for situations in which normality could be simulated through a provision of appropriate amenities, relationships, and situations.

I hope that an indication has been given of the magnitude and malignancy of deception behind the picture presented in the media of the contemporary world. I hope also that the drive to discredit the American capitalist system will be seen in perspective as a result of the emphasis briefly put here upon matters studiously concealed from the public by manipulators of the media. Modern science and technology are deployed as astonishingly powerful instruments of political and economic oppression and coercion. If the media really served the public, and not its criminal enemy, the public would be sensible to the threat presented by unconventional forms of warfare, and would no longer endorse the attack on the American defence force – which advances the agenda of a globally coordinated Muslim invasion of Christian countries. Contemporary abuses of power are not driven by democratic governments, but by those who most vociferously attack them in the global mass media.

President Bush greeted South African president Kgalema Motlanthe with warmth and confidence at the G 20 summit. Yet the political careers of both those men are subjected to severe time constraints – a matter registering incongruously on the public sensibility, given the enormity of responsibility borne by each in terms of commitments invested in them by the progressive constituency of the international community. The cases of South Africa’s Thabo Mbeki and Pakistan’s Pervez Musharav entailed precisely the same criteria of individual merit – and they were brought low in no uncertain terms. Benazir Bhutto seems to have been categorized differently by those who decide the fates of the lowly and the mighty alike.

As a result of the three entries posted at this blog, Mr. Jacob Zuma has received excellent advice on the urgent need to establish a culture of multi-party democracy in South Africa. The Congress of the People (COPE) has every hope of developing into a major national opposition to the ANC – and even to earn the right to govern after the coming elections. That would be the best thing that could possibly happen to the ANC: the rigors of opposition politics would cure a lumpish behemoth of the ‘struggle credentials’ with which its national enemy has burdened it in the developed world’s perceptions. South Africa will be securely set on the road to efficient governance. However, Mr. Zuma will learn that he has to contend with Communists – people rendered too lazy to think by their worst enemies: powerful, concealed criminals – whose pretences at representing international Communism fool all comrades in every economically backward country of the world.

The international rugby fixture between Scotland and South Africa over the weekend (15th November) was likewise subjected, in part, to reactions to the content of this blog. The South African team seems to have fallen victim to manipulation by individuals whose extraordinary power hourly tempts them to insult the sporting world’s intelligence by subjecting it to the vagaries resulting from their personal political crusades. In the case of the South Africa / Scotland game, South Africa may have been punished for correctly identifying a concealed national enemy of a full century’s standing, given the country’s colonialist past. Yet, were the issue to be pressed, perhaps nothing in the world could prevent the guilty party from launching into a righteous tirade in the global mass media, or even from attacking the South African Commissioner of Interpol, the South African president, the Bush administration, the British conservatives, and several other constituencies ranged within its sights – in matters that could be strenuously dissociated in the global mass media from the outcome of the game.

Africa has not been freed of its colonialist past. A great deal of work needs to be done in that regard. And the global mass media are a very large part of the problem.

The arguments set down here can help to organize resistance against the most terrifying form of totalitarianism in world history: the millennial rule of Global Organized Crime over an unsuspecting world – through a covert hegemony, perpetuated by a combination of media equivocation and biological possession of each individual in the world population, by means of sinister applications of medical science.

In writing of matters such as these, and doing so in an apparently outrageous manner, it may seem that I intend to unduly alarm, terrify, provoke, and insult. However, that assumption would not be correct. Rather, I need to come out with both guns blazing in order to avoid writing of things that matter little to me – while powerful, respected criminals continue unencumbered to ruin the lives of millions – only to find myself comprehensively silenced when I do eventually gather the courage to deal with matters of great importance. Hence the urgency with which I present the material in this entry.

I wish to use this opportunity to thank all involved in making it possible for me to communicate my observations to a significant segment of the public.

Postscript:

I have been asked to moderate this port. I have done so; this is the moderated version, which has replaced the previous one. In it I refrain, as before, from accusing respectable British citizens of wrong-doing. I require merely that criminal elements be identified at the highest levels in every reputable organization and institution in the world, including the global strategic mineral resources sector, the global mass media, and the global security establishment, including the American and British security services.

Thank you for your patience.

Global mass media as weapons of war

In Current affairs and the economy on November 15, 2008 at 7:32 am

With the process of globalization, many things change unseen. Whereas before, the USA was the world’s principal importer, China and India now require the commodities and strategic mineral resources of Africa, Russia, and South America. In order to lower cost margins, special interests from those two emerging Asian giants arrange savings on procurement, transportation, and distribution by means of special deals with governments and industries in the regions from which commodities are sourced. It was long ago discovered that African underdevelopment provides opportunities for exploitation through an array of techniques by means of which local political leaders could be bribed into making concessions that would rob their countries and peoples of deserved rewards that should accrue to them from the lucrative mining, marketing, and distribution of mineral wealth.

In that process the most potent weapon accessible to importers is the global mass media.

If the world could be fed a constant stream of invective on the alleged corruption, cruelty, and incompetence of the political leader of some poor African country blessed with fabulous deposits of strategic mineral resources, none will be any the wiser if those who create and direct media violence rifle the country’s mineral wealth while the target political leader squirms in the glare of the media before the world and before his own people. Moreover, the target political leader in such a situation is as a rule comprehensively muzzled by means of statutory legislation that has been modified in a covert process by which local agencies on the payroll of global importers have been manipulated to advantage their country’s national enemy. Thus an impression is created in the media of the targeted leader as a disingenuous liar, or at the very least a corrupt opportunist who is simply too obnoxious to defer to public opinion upon being caught with his hands in the proverbial cookie jar.

Zimbabwe’s president Robert Mugabe is currently the most obvious example of such a leader. Highly respected throughout Africa and in many other parts of the world, Mr. Mugabe suffers from perhaps the worst media image endured by any leader since Saddam Hussein. Morgan Tshvangirai is retained in a harsh regime of inadequate information by global players and by the British owners of the region’s resources sector, who control the local media and large sections of the global media. Sinister elements among those owners of mineral resources collaborate with the African blood diamond cartels, which retain apparatchiki and concealed criminal syndicates on the ground for the purpose of conspiring to perpetually exacerbate African socio-economic conditions, and to perpetually postpone African economic development. Mr. Tshvangirai has bought lock, stock, and barrel into the media bandwagon by which president Mugabe is held up to the world as alternately the most despicable clown and the most fearsome monster alive.

Nor is the strategy through which global mass media are deployed as weapons in a war against the world by any means confined to underdeveloped African countries. The American presidential elections were targeted in the most comprehensive media agenda in world history – by agencies which must certainly represent the same constituency as does the secret organization coveting Zimbabwe’s truly fabulous mineral wealth – a process that has reduced Zimbabwe to the status of the world’s poorest country. But never in all eternity shall a word be breathed in the media to suggest any correspondence between those two historical phenomena.

The most extraordinary element of the strategy considered here is that political and socio-economic effects have been linked to the dynamics of the vernacular consumer society sustained by the mercantile system in its present form. The media play an absolutely fundamental role in the process. Advertising has been transformed into a covert dynamic of transactional management, whereby consumers are drawn into promotions to which hidden agendas have been attached in the form of covert protocols activated independently of the advertised product or service – or, more specifically, protocols are covertly activated to serve totalitarian social engineering programs calculated to bring about economic and political changes which could never be forced through any democratic parliament, since their effects exacerbate the processes of socio-economic decay by which Global Organized Crime generates its profits by exploiting the effects of ignorance, violence, poverty, and disease in distressed communities.

Soap opera formats, news bulletins, and sports broadcasts are subjected to the same dynamics of transactional management as those obtaining in advertising. Viewers are exhorted to respond to prompts by means of text messaging; through that action, particulars are supplied and transactions initiated. Memoranda are set into operation in a mode which proves in legal terms to be fully binding upon respondents – in accordance with provisions of a legislative regime prosecuted on the principle that silence denotes consent, and that all undertakings agreed to, however tentatively or informally, will be duly enforced. Contracts thus entered into facilitate easy purchase upon the sensibilities and consciences of unsophisticated market participants.

Many victims of pernicious schemata initiated by such means find themselves in debt or in other trouble soon after commencing, and, once purchase is obtained on their guilt, the process results in the recruitment of collaborators for the commitment of crime. Readiness on the parts of target victims to engage in criminal activity as a result of increasing covertly managed deprivation or other pressure, feeds the serious crime industry of armed robbery, which almost inevitably results in murder in each instance, and supplies an endless queue of collaborators to be shot dead by the police – a process through which the public is retained in fatuous complacency over action taken by safety and security personnel, while nothing whatsoever changes on the ground in exchange for the daily murder of young, capable, and in many cases noble, Africans – effectively with society’s official consent. Concealed, malign manipulators of human affairs through media violence and equivocation hourly micro-manage the middle management echelons of the South African Police Services – and extend the process throughout the world, having arranged that the International Police be stationed in South Africa for that precise purpose. Hence their temerity in attacking Commissioner Jackie Selebi with so much impunity. The criminal scheme ensures that the master minds and concealed elite leadership of the World Enemy remain perfectly concealed from view.

The covert global organization in control of the process exercises enormous influence upon heads of state and government officials, who may be subjected to any treatment suitable to the international Mafia’s agenda, in an assault directed at democracy, Christianity, and the market economy. However, the public remains unaware of any remotest possibility that it may be subjected to the effects of foul play, since amendments to essential legislation effectively proscribe the divulgence of that information in media interactions between democratic leaders and their constituencies. Indeed, the public responds to the media as it previously responded to the Church – it invests absolute trust in them – an inevitable corollary of sustained and insidious conditioning through interminably reiterated suggestions to the effect that the media represent a level of authority to which political leaders – even world leaders – might aspire, but may never attain.

Films such as American Gangster make it clear that the drug lords have long ago obtained control over processes by which the confederate projects of nation-states may be fundamentally compromised as parts of a continual presentation of public life – such as the smuggling of heroin in the coffins of deceased American soldiers during the Vietnam war. As is made equally clear in the film, the Mafia and international communism collude to deceive the simple victims of heroin addiction into rooting for those who profit from delivering their lives into the living Hell of a stranglehold from the most lethal substance in the world – the effects of which serve to entrap victims in a regime of horrific societal abuse, thus to enforce political and economic change in all countries of the world through the effects of which Global Organized Crime is alone advantaged. In perhaps the most repulsive scene from American Gangster, Frank Lucas’s eyes light up when he boasts: “Heroin has given me Harlem!” ­– clear proof that the formal market economy presents a lesser threat to the world than that presented by gangsterism.

As in South Africa, where those most likely to be hanged, should capital punishment be reinstated – since they represent the most vulnerable social group – are made to vociferously bay for the blood of those among them said by manipulators of the media to have committed heinous crimes against them, and are made to demand the reinstatement of the death sentence – so in the USA those who most cynically and brutishly profit from the suffering and deaths of black Americans are most uncritically adored by their victims as a result of media equivocation.

In view of the foregoing, what hope remains for those drawn into careers in the arts and humanities on the basis of false pretences by which the Mafia recruits the luckless mules who traverse the trade routes of its contraband smuggling operations, from airports and harbours to family homes and schools? Any attempt to answer that question would reveal the full horror of implications for the present balance of power in global affairs: liberal democracy has been usurped by a covert totalitarian regime colluding with global organized crime in a bid to gain control of all instruments of power, determinants of wealth, amenities of life, and attributes of cultural expression – and that the conservative constituency alone retains the capability to protect itself and others against the vagaries and atrocities of the concealed World Enemy.

It follows, therefore, that a sober, realistic approach to political life through an intelligent pursuit of economics offers far better prospects than would any romantic hankering after such mysteries of self-expression as are held up for emulation to the poorly informed proletariat by those who defraud the souls of its members in a pretence at offering political liberation.

That, precisely, is the political perspective most strenuously withheld from the global public. The central objective behind the efforts of those who control the mass media is to distract the international community with sensational interpretations of side-shows calculated to facilitate the perpetual covert enforcement of agendas that could never be made acceptable to thinking people. In pursuit of that agenda, the deep roots of human imagination and emotion are tapped, and promises are built up around desires of the body and conceits of the mind that could never offer feasible substitutes to the hard realities confronting those who assume responsibility for the world in which they live.


United States president-elect Barack Obama stands in the eye of a storm brewed on the basis of the international community’s ignorance of the nature of the mandate by which concealed, malign manipulators achieve their effects through media interests under their control.

The public believes that the media are mandated to protect that which is good and right. They are not. The media are not the Church; they are not the Law. The mandate in terms of which the media operate requires that they earn profits for their owners, and requires nothing whatsoever except only that. And that objective is best accomplished in terms of the tried and tested creed of journalism: “Never let the truth spoil a good story.” In other words, the media’s objective is to sell newspapers and television fare by means of lying and cheating – by means of the systematic and dedicated obfuscation, reversal, concealment, denial, and perversion of the truth. But the public is not permitted to know that, ostensibly because if it did, the security services and legal institutions would not be able to accomplish their effects in matters of national security and international diplomacy. As the inevitable result of the conspiracy of silence observed on those grounds, the public presumes that the law stands poised to protect it against any hint of foul play from the media – that since the law never swoops to do just that, it may be safely concluded that the media represents the highest authority to be found on Earth – and that, since the conscientious media never fail to warn of the despicable motives of politicians, democratic governments are comprised of the worst criminals in the world.

The philosophy spun from the elements of that dilemma – which was born of un-intended consequences of modern technology, namely the effects of human nature, with its criminal taint, on the politics of technology – serves the purposes of crime bosses as a glove suits a hand – for democratic governments offer by far the best known protection to the unsuspecting public, and if democratic governments can be knocked out of the equation without firing a shot, or even lifting a finger – with the energetic, not to say fanatic, assistance of the victims – well, you never know your luck if you can inculcate the virtues of an ability to obdurately keep a secret into as broad a public base as possible.

The beauty of it all, from the criminal point of view, is that governments are rendered corrupt in the process – no normal person would wish to indefinitely continue serving those who treat him like dirt.

The key to resolving all the problems listed here is to be found in adopting the philosophy of the market economy. That is the reason why the market economy is under siege in the most powerful assault upon it since the advent of the Industrial Revolution.

Since supreme poetry concerns itself, not with appearances or pretences, but with the final truth only, it would be meet to turn to poetry for insight and instruction. And since the work of Robert Graves was introduced in the previous blog, it could be useful to examine two of his poems, which I chose for the glimpse that they provide on the range of mystery and violence characterising fundamental human relations – in this case, the romantic love between men and women.

CONFESS, MARPESSA

Confess Marpessa, who is your new lover?

Could he be, perhaps, that skillful rough sea-diver

Plunging deep in the waves, curving far under

Yet surfacing at last with controlled breath?

Confess, Marpessa, who is your new lover?

Is he some ghoul, with naked greed of plunder

Urging his steed across the gulf of death,

A brood of dragons tangled close beneath?

Or could he be the fabulous Salamander,

Courting you with soft flame and gentle ember?

Confess, Marpessa, who is your new lover?

DREAM RECALLED ON WAKING

The monstrous and three-headed cur

Rose hugely when she stroked his fur,

Using his metapontine tail

To lift her high across the pale.

Ranging those ridges far and near

Brought blushes to her cheeks, I fear,

Yet who but she, the last and first

Could dare what lions never durst?

Proud Queen, continue as you are,

More steadfast than the Polar Star,

Yet still pretend a child to be

Gathering sea-wrack by the sea.

Those beautiful, powerful works, on fire with the truth that animates them, represent some of the finer conceits of which the human mind has proved capable over the past three thousand years. They crystallise the essential human condition: in rendering the tyranny of sexuality palpable, they deepen, strengthen, and enrich the human store of shared experience. Warmly observed detail and memorable imagery, phrased with consummate clarity of utterance, capture the mystery of romantic love, and of the majesty of the indomitable human spirit, which is here celebrated by means of a deep compliment from the male gender to the female gender. The immediacy of lived experience is tempered by an impressively accomplished sense of civic decorum, which watches dispassionately where powers governing the realm of sensibility marshal terrifying potentialities, which are normally latent between the genders, but are vexed here to that abysmal fatefulness experienced by lesser mortals as ‘the battle of the sexes’ – a capability for royal thought that renders the vernacular mendacity of a consumer society steeped in the idiom of soap opera petty and vulgar by comparison.

Under conditions of a state of nature, ordinary human beings are no more rational than are sabre-toothed panthers or rattlesnakes.

The mechanism of the market economy – by which the power of violent persuasion is removed from at least the most fundamental categories of market interactions – is largely responsible for the success thus far achieved on the course of modernism. It owes its rational nature to the scientific method, which seeks to observe with as much intelligence, focus, and purpose as possible, which seeks to think clearly and neatly, to commit as large a part of accumulated knowledge to memory as is facilitated by methods for the representation of experience, to formulate useful hypotheses on the nature of the world and of live creatures, to subject those hypotheses to rigorous testing – and to formulate imaginative programs through which to put research findings to work for the expansion of freedoms and ideas in human societies.

The notion that the market economy is to blame for human failure is a very dangerous and destructive one.

The human being has for many centuries resolved to sacrifice things that may be rated as givens in terms of life in a state of nature, or at least to manage them such as to have them obtrude minimally upon matters now deemed more important, thus to be freed, for the moment, to concentrate on those important things. That program constitutes the backbone of progress. It is worth every effort to continue on the path embarked upon more than three thousand years ago, when the advent of recorded history signalled the intention to develop beyond the constraints of an unexamined life – of a life in the cage of an arrested society, which could revert to the level of life with the beasts in a state of nature.

The human race could resume its project, should it resolve to refrain from destroying itself through the dissemination of falsehoods.

In South Africa, ‘Mama Africa’, Myriam Makeba, has died. “Murder most foul!” is the instinctive response with which I greet such news – for my country is vulnerable to the whims of concealed, malign manipulators who pursue a sadistic hidden agenda by the effects of which brilliant Africans are routinely cut down in the prime of their lives – political assassinations alternately construed in the media as Acts of God or the effects of probability theory. Yet those who doggedly, maniacally, pursue their grizzly agenda – thus dutifully and with grim determination to produce at least one fatal ‘accident’ between a fully loaded taxi and a large truck per day – on every day of the year – are responsible for all the hype and rage of media equivocation by which the virtues of ‘human rights’ and a ‘constitutional democracy’ are extolled, amidst much execration of the leaders of democracies and of the Afrikaner nation, which had been blamed for the atrocities of Apartheid in the past.

But I know Afrikaners, for I am one. And I also know the Mafia, for I have lived with it throughout my life, although I realized it but comparatively recently. Therefore I know that the stereotyped obtuseness and brutishness by which the responses of Afrikaners are characterized in the mass media, where and when deferral to the humanitarian needs of Africans is required – is not an authentic response, but one imputed into the sensibilities of target individuals, by means of medical science and technology routinely applied by the security services and legal institutions in the bio-genetic execution of socio-economic effects needed in matters of national security and international diplomacy.

When Africans were offered the option of self-determination, they were given no choice but to comprehensively accept the security regime as it was. But, although Apartheid was deconstructed, a far more efficient totalitarian regime had already been treacherously put in place – in South Africa as in most other countries of the world – with the assistance of the global mass media.

The chief instrument in the process by which Africans are mowed down by those whom they most trust is communism.

Should communists be admired? They certainly think so. Yet, as the discussion featuring the two poems, above, has shown – no real merits attach to exercising the option of constraining society to a merely biological paradigm, in which the power of the spirit delimits the range of experience accessible to processes by which human affairs are conducted, as the case was for several million years in the past. Access to that primordial state of being would be useful only where scrupulous observation of the prerogatives of the free market, democracy, and the humanitarian spirit exemplified by Christianity, has constructed a supportive framework for a testing of the extremes of societal behaviour – offering the individual a way by which to perpetually return to the essential human condition as provided for in a basic economic paradigm best defined by the socio-political apparatus facilitated through value investing and morally intelligent forms of entrepreneurship: open-innovation technological development in a socially conscious and environmentally responsible paradigm.

The communist alternative offers nothing whatsoever save a subjection of the human individual to the mendacity of a large herd of cattle, in which cows look to the king bull for protection, and every individual seeking to challenge the status quo must meet his horns. The human race has developed beyond the constraints of that mendacity many thousands of years ago. But the pastoral invasions of the third millennium BC in Western Europe and the Mediterranean, although they provided impetus for the development of modernism, also set a large section of humanity back to the level of a bygone age of obsequiousness before the brutish.

Communism leaves no room for moral intelligence. Africans are moved to gather in huge crowds, to be hollered at by demagogues in a mode not necessarily more discerning than that obtaining in a swarm of locusts. The manic, febrile anxiety in which such crowds are depicted on television reveals that no freedom of speech is possible, although strenuous pretences by the media equate the glib verbosity of Blade Nzimande and the adamant, dogmatic assertions of Zwelenzima Vavi with the inarticulate, uncritical state of the dancing, singing, and jumping crowds, which delight in emulating circus animals by performing bodily gestures in solidarity with some article of faith, such as the contempt that they feel for Robert Mugabe. Under such conditions none would complain of being moved to stand in queues stretching to the horizon once in four years, to vote for the same man, decade in and decade out, never feeling any compunction for an alternative, however crushing the burdens of life may have become under his rule.

The terrible injustice presented by Global Organized Crime is that each one of its multitudinous victims deserve to be a self-actualizing personage, not a mere cipher to be forgotten, like a grain of sand on the sea-shore – but that the oppressive dynamics of communism prevent them from realizing it.

As could be appreciated by examining two brief love poems, it may be seen that all the sound and fury conjured by media appeals to imagination and emotion may likewise be subdued and interpreted. Those privileged to have acquired the requisite background to do that, know that communism presents the greatest possible threat to democracy, for in seeking one-party hegemony it forgets that there are two sides to every story – your side and my side. As in gender relations, so in class relations. As in racial relations, so in generational relations.

Thinking people, who reduce the appeal to sensationalism in media productions to the character and motivation of those who drive it, know that the mendacity of the cattle herd informs the deployment of the media as a weapon of war by a concealed organization which ruthlessly enforces a totalitarian regime upon human affairs, in order to obtain absolute power over all living for itself exclusively – for purposes too sinister to be revealed to the public.

A little poem adapted by Robert Graves from the Spanish culture of the Mediterranean island on which he lived might aptly conclude this essay on the significance of deception in matters of strategy, and might provide the answer to its tyrannous effects:

Bull-fight critics, ranked in rows,

Crowd the enormous plaza full.

But only one is there who knows

And he is the man who kills the bull.

The true art of Entrepreneurship

In Current affairs and the economy on November 13, 2008 at 4:00 pm

Rembrandt painted the Bill Gateses, Warren Buffetts, Queen Elizabeths, and Oprah Winfreys of his day. During the seventeenth century, the Dutch East India Company had propelled Amsterdam to the forefront of the world in terms of access to efficient information on the giant enterprises of the many nations. Appropriately, the man who succeeded Rubens as Europe’s greatest painter charged astronomical prices for his work.

But Rembrandt could not have produced his astonishing feats of realism in the portraiture of his years of supreme success without the formative effects of his Calvinist background, and particularly not without his fascination for all things Judaic – for even in the most academically formal of the portraits, his powerful imagination interpenetrated his subjects with the translucency of his more subjective work. A perfect blend of his two distinctive genres was achieved in Portrait of a Soldier, which was modeled on the profile of his beloved son Titus. In that small piece, the ideal that Rembrandt unashamedly cherished for his boy animates the melting, golden luxuriance of the treatment – part a knight in shining armor, yet part the young David of Israel – both a romantic King Arthur and an Emperor of the Spirit.

When the well-appointed but fierce queen of Rembrandt’s heart, Saskia, died, and life bared its bones to him, God gave him the beautiful but poor Hendrijke Stoffels, who became the love of his life and the inspiration of his work. But scandal undid him; the cruel response of his capitalist patrons to his plight turned his gaze inwards. He focused on his religion and on his art, the vehicle for his journey of spiritual insight.

Today free enterprise offers the only paradigm for self-actualization free of the vagaries of crime. Even a contemporary Rembrandt would have a better chance to make it in the USA than in any other country. Of course, spirituality has been transformed into a quest for economic value. Still, the freedom of the individual to pursue his interests is nowhere more empowering than in Anglo Saxon countries, where the coercive effects of social engineering associated with communism were until now but a vague threat, not a horrific fact of life.

Until now.

The ‘global meltdown’ – aggregated imbalances comprising the demise of the first phase of the process by which the global economy was established – the export-led initiating phase – will result in a difficult new era in which necessity, perhaps even extremity, will typify the constraint of entrepreneurial endeavor through a dynamic of domestic growth.

United States Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson has announced a need for multilateral consensus on the pressing matter of finding a coherent vision for a new global economic architecture. The new dispensation must correct the imbalances that resulted from the partnership between the USA and the Asian exporters, whose low wage labor caused the US current-account deficit to blow out and to release a tide of credit into Asia, whose banks in turn became contaminated by toxic US mortgage-backed securities, in which the Asians invested their export currency reserves. Even so, the global economy could not have become established without the stimulus of that partnership, which enabled other parts of the world to industrialize. Although during the past two decades the USA exploited elements of the arrangement in a fit of irrational exuberance, the market economy must not be blamed for the very evil that it is uniquely qualified to combat, given the chance to work optimally: error resulting from human frailty.

Other economic cultures, including those of Europe, India, and China, remain lagging in relation to that of the USA. Freedom of speech does not exist in countries where national economies are characterized by the dynamics of family businesses. A strict hierarchy has long been established, and newcomers take their orders from senior incumbents, politicians who entrench their own influence and who resent all forms of competition, viewing it as encroachment upon their domains. Rembrandt’s ‘capitalist patrons’ were far closer in spirit to the robber barons of today’s cartel business culture than to the spirit of any exemplary value investor of the market economy such as Warren Buffett. It is by no coincidence that Buffett’s refusal to advantage any member of his family is in part credited for his extraordinary success: only his iron discipline in maximizing shareholder value could have ensured the success of unexampled magnitude associated with everything that he touches.

Buffett stands alone against the tide of barbarism that had invaded Wall Street over the past two decades, sweeping away the distinction between the market economy and the cartel economic model. That barbarism seeks to overwhelm Christianity with Islam, democracy with communism, and the market economy with cartel economics. There are three important and interrelated reasons why the distinction between the two world orders must continue to be sharpened, and the Anglo-Saxon model must be extended by new exemplars of the caliber of Buffett and Bill Gates.

Firstly, true freedom of speech grants to those who live in the most advanced democracies a spiritual freedom never attained in other world orders, except in rare circumstances where – in palaces, city slums, or remote rural settlements – fortunate individuals of all eras lived protected against feudal and often brutish conditions that comprised their broader environments. And even in such cases, happiness existed only to be snatched away: the effects of unbridled seigneurial power, of pillage through rapine and murder, of migration, conquest, or personal betrayal, could at any moment undo a lifetime of ‘freedom’ spent in the captivity of a fiercely protected privacy. The greed that brought the market economy low to the everlasting detriment of the world, was extremely unfortunate. But a regime of savagery and murderousness is worse.

Rembrandt could escape imprisonment only as a result of the love of Hendrijke Stoffels, who registered him as her tenant. Robert Graves could write only in remote Majorca, where the ancient Mediterranean agricultural cycle continued to prevail in his lifetime. Yet today the market economy guarantees the absolute minimum of state interference in the private lives of citizens – while communism and cartel cultures perpetuate a rule of terror deriving from a barbaric bygone age.

Secondly, the mechanism of the open market removes the power of the spirit from transactions. In an environment where the aggregated impersonal interactions of supply and demand determine the price of products and services, far greater efficiencies obtain than in any market where a commodity could today cost three times as much as it cost yesterday, and where it could be available today but nowhere to be found tomorrow. In a market economy, extraordinary freedoms and ideas become possible – freedoms and ideas that previously flourished only in societies where the prerogatives of the essential human condition had been shielded from barbarism and crime by a combination of religious practice and an enterprising spirit – in societies such as the Amsterdam of Rembrandt’s day.

Thirdly, to the arduous and continual improvement of financial applications such as accountancy and the power of compound interest as civilizing powers characteristic of Anglo-Saxon peoples must be added the unique qualities that made the English language the universal medium of communication in a globalized economic paradigm. Robert Graves, the famous poet, put the matter in perspective in The Reader Over Your Shoulder, which he co-wrote with Alan Hodge in 1943 (Jonathan Cape, 1976 edition). The passage occurs on page 9:

‘A vernacular is a language of domestic convenience, compounded of the languages spoken by master and alien slave. It has a less complicated grammar and syntax than the languages from which it springs, but rapidly accumulates words as the slaves become freemen, and their children are born as freemen, and finally their great-grandchildren, marrying into their masters’ families, are accepted as cultured people with full rights as citizens.

‘English is a vernacular of vernaculars. The general European view is that it is an illogical, chaotic language, unsuited for clear thinking; and it is easy to understand this view, for no other European language admits of such shoddy treatment. Yet, on the other hand, none other admits of such poetic exquisiteness. Often the apparent chaos is only the untidiness of a workshop in which a great deal of repair and other work is in progress: the benches are crowded, the corners are piled with lumber, but the old workman can lay his hand on whatever spare parts or accessories he needs, or at least on the right tools and materials for improvising them. French is a language of fixed models: it has none of this workshop untidiness and few facilities for improvisation. In French, one chooses the finished phrase nearest to one’s purpose and, if there is nothing that can be ‘made to do’, a long time is spent in the Works – the Academy – to supply or approve a new model. Each method has its own advantages. The English method tends to ambiguity and obscurity of expression in any but the most careful writing; the French to limitation of thought. The late Sir Henry Head was once preparing an address on neurology for a learned society in Paris. He wrote it in what he hoped was French, but took the precaution of asking a French professor to see that it was correctly phrased. The manuscript was returned marked: ‘pas francais’, ‘pas francais’, ‘pas francais’, with suggested alterations; but almost every ‘pas francais’ could be matched with a ‘pas vrai’, (not clear, not strong) because the amendments in francais impaired the force of the argument.’

Permutations of the three defenses of the Christian West listed above inform the appreciation that Rembrandt’s great freedom of expression in unique representations of personal experience, and the mobility and power that he gained for his thought as a supremely gifted artist in an environment of privilege and abundant potential, afforded him access to the equivalent of the ‘poetic exquisiteness’ achieved by the great English love poets: William Shakespeare, John Clare, Thomas Hardy, and Robert Graves.

That freedom of expression today continues to characterize the Anglo-Saxon model of the open market economy.

As stated above, the quest for spiritual meaning has been replaced with the quest for economic value – two matters not so incompatible as they are generally thought to be. Many continue to think that art defies valuation in terms of monetary compensation. Yet only incompetent economists would fail to factor in all the elements and principles that go into the creation of a work of art – even the so-called ‘imponderables’ pertaining to works of supreme artistic merit. Simply, private ownership of supreme art should not remove them from the public domain, so that the broadest possible cross-section of people may continue to be enriched by its civilizing power.

Bill Gates was instrumental in the liberation of tens of millions of Indians from poverty, and in their entry into the middle class – having for several decades personified a way of life by which continual open technology innovation could galvanize a vast sub-continent into a mode of economic growth. Warren Buffett broke the world record for philanthropy after a lifetime in which he was denigrated as a ‘notorious miser’. Those two great men committed their lives to the creation of true economic value, by which the personal happiness and efficiency of a significant part of the human race were enhanced.

As a result, millions of people are free to discover the world’s spiritual meanings, and millions more are ready to overcome the cage of an arrested society in which abject poverty and feudal oppression have constrained them throughout all eternity.

The community of nations needs to think very carefully about the potential value to be tapped into by means of an intelligent restoration of the market economy model of capitalism. Freedom of expression makes life worth living, and communities that enjoy that power have the potential to create magnificent modes of being for the wonderment of the human spirit.

At the risk of provoking beyond the bounds of the brief adopted for this blog, I wish to extend the motif by which examples from art and literature cast light on the natures of respective economic models. Yet I need to warm to my theme: by the reader’s leave I shall boldly presume upon a passion for supreme poetry in a format selected for discussion on economic topics: by quoting one of the most intense poems ever written, I might galvanize the reader’s sympathies into support for a cardinal point in defense of the truly great cause that must constitute the theme of this blog in a time of difficulty and danger.

At the back of the book from which the passage above was taken, the following sentences occur:

“Sir Ernest Baker, reviewing the first edition of The Reader Over Your Shoulder in the Manchester Guardian, said:

‘The whole work trends to moral as well as aesthetic consequences. The writing of good English is a moral matter; and the muddle of our English style is the result of a moral muddle. The book is a national service.”

Other critics should have heeded Sir Ernest’s assessment, but did not – incapable of appreciating the full power of Graves’ arguments, they sought to ridicule him for daring to tell his contemporaries how to write. At last Graves deferred – in a poem published under the same title as that of the book that produced the oppressive avalanche of resentment. The white heat of disdain in the poem’s tone demonstrates that the critics would have done better had they read Graves with more care, for his reply to their criticism destroyed their reputations, which could otherwise have enjoyed a shelf-life of several generations in the slough of an uncritical vernacular consumerism:

THE READER OVER MY SHOULDER

You, reading over my shoulder, peering beneath

My writing arm – I suddenly feel your breath

Hot on my hand or on my nape,

So interrupt my theme, scratching these few

Words on the margin for you, namely you,

Too-human shape fixed in that shape:-

All the saying of things against myself

And for myself I have well done myself.

What now, old enemy, shall you do

But quote and underline, thrusting yourself

Against me, as ambassador of myself,

In damned confusion of myself and you?

For you in strutting, you in sycophancy,

Have played too long this other self of me,

Doubling the part of judge and patron

With that of creaking grindstone to my wit.

Know me, have done: I am a proud spirit

And you forever clay. Have done!

Graves published 125 books in his lifetime, of which at least a dozen number among the supreme masterworks of man. Also, he shared with the French composer Frederic Chopin and the French painter Eugene Delacroix a legendary love for a great woman on the island of Majorca on the south coast of Spain in the Mediterranean, where he lived: in their case the novelist George Sand, and in Graves’s case the American poet Laura Riding. Graves’s majestic statement exposed his critics as wallowing wholly beneath his station as one of the makers of the twentieth century.

The terrible rebuke expressed in the poem The Reader Over My Shoulder demonstrates, among several other things, why the power of the spirit is not to be admitted into the marketplace, where competition sometimes reaches levels as fierce as that here expressed in words by a great poet. Graves was a chivalrous champion of woman’s rights, and a true friend to humanity. His stature as a writer ranks perhaps with those of Sophocles, St. Paul, and Shakespeare. Yet, as will be shown by way of concluding, even he falls short of the requirements of the market economy – as would Rembrandt, in his unnecessary suffering, having lived in a still barbaric time unredeemed by the effects of the market economy, which has now globalized trade and liberated many nations.

Today rampant criminality, anarchy, and oppression characterize a trend towards the cartel economic model, in which covertly introduced hierarchies of influence prevent competition and entrench corrupt practices – yet those responsible for most of the damage blame the deleterious effects of barbarism and criminality on the spirit of free enterprise in all media interests under their control. Global Organized Crime has captured the media, and deploys them as a weapon of war against the Western way of life, which has become criminalized in its own public institutions.

That strategy of war is a function of the communist assault on Christianity, private enterprise, and democracy. But because the unconventional techniques of that martial strategy may not become known to the public, as a matter of statutory law – since the crime lords had usurped also the legal system and the medical profession, and have since that moment systematically abused aspects of medical science routinely deployed by the security services and legal institutions for effects determining matters of national security and international diplomacy – the public mistakes the criminalization of the most advanced tradition in the world, through dynamics by which an oppressive regime of political correctness is enforced by the mass media, for an expression of Divine Authority, not for the dirty tricks of the international Mafia in collusion with communism.

In South Africa, Mr. Jacob Zuma is perpetually retained in a regime of dangerously inadequate information through the machinations of concealed, malign manipulators of the media and of African affairs: he erroneously construes the causes for the rift in the ruling ANC as evidence of personal opprobrium and opportunism on the parts of unruly individuals, instead of welcoming the development as a vital step toward multiparty democracy. In his hostile stance toward those who disagree with views enforced upon his constituency to its detriment, Mr. Zuma unwittingly entrenches one-party hegemony in the very country whose recent upgrading to democracy has inspired the world. In the process South Africa is thrown to the wolves: covert global special interests and crime syndicates associating with strategic mineral resources cartels are emboldened by the culture of corruption facilitated by means of communism to claim ownership of all instruments of power, determinants of wealth, and amenities of life for themselves exclusively – a process that must certainly serve the giant economies of China and India, which require Africa’s fabulous wealth of strategic mineral resources, and must also serve British traitors of the West who have long associated with the criminal African blood diamond cartels that had wreaked a genocidal destruction of socio-economic structures in a dozen African countries during the past five decades.

Because the communists are unable to correctly identify South Africa’s traditional enemy in the present threat to its national security, they will be the last to discover the nature of the fraud, in which it is pretended that simple racist bigotry drives the conflict – and will continue to advance the interests of their enemy to the detriment of all Africans. Due to lack of access to efficient information, Mr. Zuma’s large and aggressive constituency fails to understand that those ultimately responsible for the deposition of South Africa’s president Mbeki in a communist Coup d’Tat had set a precedent by which Mr. Zuma could be got rid of at a day’s notice, on strength of any whim of the Mafia’s choosing. The government that Mr. Zuma’s constituency had deemed to be strengthened by the process had been put out of business.

Those who complain about the mess created by the ‘global meltdown’ should consider how things could have transpired under a global cartel regime, in which robber barons would conduct a rule of terror under a totalitarian regime of international communism, and in which criminality as a strategy of war would perpetually exacerbate socio-economic conditions in the interests of unconscionable Stalinist imperialists who scorn the very notion of humanity, yet abuse the mass media by blaming the market economy and democratic governments for the vagaries perpetrated upon the world by powerful concealed criminals who collude with international communism.

There, I have stated the theme for my blog with requisite conviction in this introductory section. The phrase ‘Kynge Artur is Nat Dede’ must serve as a metaphor for the market economy’s resilience, thus to strengthen its case against those who would profit from continual exacerbation of socio-economic decay – a destructive dynamic long practiced with great success in Africa, a continent suffering from the additional insult of representation by concealed, malign manipulators of the global mass media as being entirely responsible for its own destruction. The vagaries of that martial dynamic reached Great Britain with the advent of the New Millennium, and have now reached the USA.

Christianity is under siege from a covert global force making a bid for world domination. The Western media are a very large part of the problem.
