From childhood we are led to believe that We, the People, are the focus of government, that the things done in our name are for us and that we collectively control the ship of state and in doing so improve our lives. As a people we want simple things: a full belly, a dry back, a safe place to raise a family and a few simple diversions to make our lives more enjoyable. Above all we want the freedom to move about, live where we choose and to express our beliefs without fear.
But something is terribly wrong. Our wishes are not being expressed by our governing bodies. It seems that our freedoms are eroding. The promise is the same but it has become more and more apparent that government is serving another master and not We, the People. As we awaken to this fact more discrepancies surface.
  • Though securing the border from illegal immigration would be an easy task, it isn't done.
  • Though 80 percent of the people want genetically modified foods at least labeled if not banned outright, they are forced down our throats.
  • Though the majority of people don't want our government going to war and wasting precious treasure in foreign lands, government ignores our wishes, toppling the duly elected governments of other peoples to install compliant puppet governments, lavishing them with foreign aid while, back home, 49 million Americans go to sleep hungry each night.
  • Many people sleep under cardboard in the streets when there are 24 vacant houses in the US for every homeless person.
  • The food and drug regulatory bodies that lay claim to protecting us endanger us with fraudulently tested pharmaceutical drugs, hormone and pesticide laden factory farmed foods, potentially unsafe genetically modified organisms and environmental policies that destroy the natural world on which all of life depends.
  • The oil and gas industries pump and sell our resources that we must buy on the world market using fracking technology that pollutes the aquifers and oceans and causes damaging earthquakes.
  • The government treats the veterans who supposedly protect our freedoms like dirt.
 Our forefathers fought hard for liberty from oppressive tyrants. We, the People, have fought many wars to supposedly secure what we believed would ensure our freedom. And yet day by day it is systematically being taken away.

While most of us want simple, comfortable lives, there are a few dis-eased individuals, approximately one percent, who want far more. It's no secret that those who seek positions of power possess psychopathic traits and the more psychopathic they are the higher they climb the ladder of “success.” I have no doubt that if Charles Manson had not been abused as a child, had instead been nurtured and loved, he would today be the CEO of a multinational corporation, a politician in high office, a hedge fund manager, a high ranking military officer or a banker. Instead of becoming an infamous charismatic murderer, his disease would have been conveyed into more covert and socially acceptable channels—acceptable to the other psychopaths who make the rules and run things, at least. All psychopaths suffer from psychological and emotional derangement. They are abnormal. Their pathology is organic and untreatable. Psychopaths of low intelligence lose control and usually end up in jail, but intelligent psychopaths learn to hide their derangement in order to become successful. The most dangerous of these traits are an inflated sense of self-importance, lying, paranoia, lack of compassion and an insatiable need to control. That is why they aspire to great wealth. Money is power: the power to control. Driven by paranoid delusions, the concept of enough is oblivious to a psychopath.

Once you realize that people who seek positions of power suffer from mental aberrations and emotional deficit, some of the discrepancies in our culture begin to make sense. As the great comic turned cynic George Carlan once said, “They don't care about you at all, at all, AT ALL!”

But it's even worse than that. The psychopaths in control cannot relate to the average person. In fact, they regard those of us who are normal as inferior, mere farm animals. That's right, farm animals. Like the rest of the material world, to the psychopathic aristocrats who run things, we're resources—human resources to be developed to serve their needs—milked like cows, plucked like chickens and slaughtered like pigs; we're their crop of consumer/producers, biofuel to stoke the economic engine that makes the psychopaths rich and leverages their power.

How does a farmer view his livestock?

Let's use the horse as an example. Horses like to be in open fields where they can graze and gallop and group together. They're gentle, social creatures by nature. The farmer, however, sees the horse in an opportunistic way. If the farmer can capture the horse and “break” it, he can hook it up to a harness and a plow. The farmer puts a bit in the horses mouth that hurts the horse if it doesn't obey the farmer's commands. Now the horse has to work before it is allowed to eat or associate with other horses. The horse has to plow the field, pull the harrows, the seeder and the mower and then pull the hay wagon to the barn. In this way the horse's “productivity” is maximized. The horse now produces far more than it personally needs and the farmer gets the surplus to sell or trade while the horse is locked in a dark barn until it is needed again. Though the horse could kill the farmer with one swift kick to the head, it fears the farmer and simply goes along to get along.

This doesn't necessarily make the farmer a psychopath, but he is like one in this one respect: he sees the horse's life and wishes as less important than his own, exactly the way the psychopaths in power consider the vast majority of everyday people.

Let's take our horse analogy a bit further. What if the horse had to buy its own harness, the plow, the wagon, even its horseshoes and then had to pay the farmer to shod it? What if all the animals on the farm not only had to produce everything they needed but also had to buy all of it from the farmer? What if somehow the farmer could pay the animals wages for their labor, give them something, something worthless and abstract—let's call it money—that the farmer convinced them had value and then get them use that to buy back from the farmer the same stuff they produced​ with their labor, stuff they need to simply survive? The farmer wouldn't need to go looking for a market for his produce and he could print the money himself and then skim off some of it to trade with another farmer or even take over his farm. Wouldn't that be the ideal situation for a farmer?

Slaves had it better than this. They were like our horse. All they had to do was work and the plantation owner was responsible for their food, their shelter and their health: a huge expense to the farmer.

With this understanding today's dilemmas aren't so confusing. We, the Farm Animals, now work for wages, some of which we must give back to the farmer for the privilege of working. We have to buy patented seeds and pesticides from the farmer, rent the land that used to be commons, buy and build our shelter to a code that increases farm profits, pay for our own medical care and buy patented medicines causing more diseases that require more patented medicines. If the food and drugs make us ill, that's good for the farmer. As long as we stay healthy enough to be reasonably productive, buy what we need to stay alive and then die soon after our productivity begins to decrease, the farmer is happy. Any extra he makes off our misery is a lucrative bonus.

Why aren't the borders controlled? If you had a farm and the fences were in such poor repair that the neighbor's cows wandered into your field, cows that you could sell at the auction, butcher for meat or milk dry, would you work hard to maintain your fences?

Veterans are just farm animals that have already served their purpose, which was to enlarge the farm or secure the farm from other psychopaths who would take it over. Laying hens that no longer lay are destined for the soup pot. A good farmer does not waste his grain feeding them. They've served their purpose and the sooner they pass on the better.

That isn't to say that being a psychopathic farmer is easy. The farmer can't let too many of his animals get hungry or they'll become restless. They'll stop being productive and begin to break things. That's why a bare minimum of social services need to be in place to keep this from happening: Food stamps, unemployment insurance, social security and welfare. This maintains the illusion of being cared for while doing little to reduce profits to the elites since it is all paid for by We, the Farm Animals, who continue to produce or by simply printing more money.

The key to making the nation-farm work is to never let us know that those in power consider us farm animals. We must be convinced that we are totally free and in charge of the farm, that the farm is there to benefit us. That is why young farm animals are taken from their families at an early age and subjected to ritual conditioning, which the farmer calls education, in state-sponsored institutions. This conditioning is then reinforced by a media culture infused with propaganda carefully designed to divert attention to trivia and obfuscate the reality of our situation.

Once you wake up and realize that you aren't even close to being in in control of your destiny and that any institution that claims to protect your freedom is most likely in place to inhibit it—like that Orwellian security camera in the grocery store that is “for your protection”—current events make perfect sense.

George Orwell almost had it right in his book 1984, but not quite. What they tell you is freedom is far worse than slavery; it's agribuisness and you're just livestock. Welcome to Freeworld Farms.

Citizen Husbandry: A Politician’s Guide to Human Resource Management

Citizen Husbandry: A Politician’s Guide to Human Resource Management

Introduction
What are Human Resources?  Humans are some of the most abundant and valuable resources on the planet.  They are social creatures, like cattle and sheep yet, like dogs, they are easily trained.  They require little more than food, shelter and minor comfort, but need constant mental diversion due to their capacity for higher thought.

Civilization is built upon the backs of Human Resources.  In a modern, civilized society, humans serve a dual purpose: they consume and they produce.  A properly developed Human Resource will work hard to earn money and then spend that money to buy what he or she just produced. This presents a unique profit opportunity for their handlers.

Human Resource Development
1. Indoctrination
Indoctrination is the preferred method of training.  Training must begin immediately after birth, since an untrained human will quickly realize that he or she is an extension of the environment and as such has certain inalienable rights brought about by the mere fact of being.  The sooner the Human Resource can be isolated from its family and the indoctrination process begun, the higher the likelihood of success.  The current trend is to begin preschool indoctrination at 3 years of age, but studies show that the programming process can begin as early as 5 months. 

The indoctrination process begins with symbol learning and prepares the individual for reading, writing and in extraordinary individuals, mathematical ability.  These are important skills for the job market. Too much learning, however, can become problematic, especially if the Human Resource develops critical thinking ability.  Critical thinking must be carefully monitored and dealt with accordingly since it can lead to programming resistance, less than satisfactory development and possible spoilage.  Juvenile rebellion must be discovered and dealt with immediately.  Often, the use of behavioural drugs works quite well in this regard and helps contribute to the profit stream.

2.      Personal Identity
The Human Resource must be convinced that it is an individual, capable of independent thought and action and that in order to “succeed” must compete with other Human Resource individuals.  The first order of business is to instil sex roles, be they boy or girl and that there is appropriate social behaviour and focus associated with that sex.  It is extremely important to maintain this individuation and, while constantly reinforcing the differences, maintain that being different has no intrinsic value or hierarchy.  The maintenance of the illusion of individuality is of paramount importance to avoid the emergence of human solidarity outside of the control structure.  Men and women present the greatest bonding threat since they procreate.  If improperly programmed, family units may develop and be valued by the Human Resources above other social structures or the state.

3.      Nationalism
Once the HR has a solid sense of self, a loose bond must then be formed with the power structure.  Originally, wild humans roamed freely across the land, taking what they needed to survive from the natural world.  As civilization developed it became obvious that this was a waste of valuable Human Resource potential.  Separation from the land and the natural world is of paramount importance if the HR is to reach its optimum work potential. 

Since everyone needs a place to live, an artificial power structure that possesses all the land has been created.  In this way, the HR must honour that artificial structure in order to gain a right of access to the land and therefore have a rightful place on which to stand.  So-called public land is off limits to habitation, hunting, gathering or gardening, but plots of land are available for such activities on a fee basis.  Such “property” can never be owned outright but can be speculated upon, traded, hoarded for profit or personal use as long as the ongoing fees to the power structure (hereinafter referred to as “government” or “state”) are paid in full.

There are many types of government structures, each differing in the way HRs are developed.  A government or nation is only as large as the people who identify with it and are willing to pay homage to its power.  As such, hundreds of nations currently exist on the earth.  Those that fail to manage their Human Resources properly often fall to revolution but a new power structure quickly reforms to re-harness the available and now underutilized Human Resources.  It is in government’s best interest to foment unrest in these inefficient nations to allow the prevailing power structure to lay claim to these underutilized Human Resources.

4.      National identity
In order to cultivate loyalty to the state a certain national identity must be instilled.  This is done as part of the indoctrination procedure, primarily in school, but also in the home and through the propaganda media of radio, news, television, movies, Internet, books, magazines and periodicals. 

The birth certificate is the initial national identity document, proof that the HR was born within the boundaries claimed by the state.  The birth certificate is nothing more than a validated claim to the Human Resource by the state.  It is soon followed by other documents including social security or insurance cards, driver’s licenses, marriage certificates, hunting and fishing licenses, mortgages, passports, resident cards, voter registrations, census records, automobile registrations… the list is nearly endless.

A properly trained Human Resource has no desire to leave the boundaries of its nation, since, if the indoctrination was successful, it believes that nowhere else on earth is as good as where it currently resides.  When an HR leaves, even for a short period, national productivity suffers.

5.      Social cohesiveness
In order for a nation to succeed, Human Resources must develop a sense of social cohesiveness.  In order to reduce stress, induce contentment and increase productivity, the Human Resources must believe that they live with like-minded individuals who are similarly indoctrinated.  They must also believe that they have the ability to exercise their free will and make choices, though a tight rein must be maintained and the choices limited in scope.  For proper HR development and cohesiveness, freedom must be relative, not absolute.

6.      Common rules
A series of common rules or “laws” must be in place and rigorously enforced.  The rules themselves aren’t nearly as important as their implementation and propaganda value.  Properly indoctrinated Human Resources appreciate strong regulation, since they have been programmed not to think for or take care of themselves but bend to authority.  In a properly programmed HR thinking must be limited to trivial or “popular” cultural iconographies. 

Issues are created by the propaganda machine to induce fear and instil relief that a power structure is in place to deal with such things.  A HR that violates even trivial rules is dealt with immediately and severely to set an example to the rest, to keep them in line, working and buying. 

Seatbelt, helmet, recreational drug use and insurance laws are implemented to prevent damage to valuable Human Resources thorough mishap or misadventure.  Workplace rules and regulations ensure peak productivity while minimizing potential physical damage and its resultant lost workdays.  Financial laws exist to ensure the upward flow of money from the workers to the controllers.  And of course, many laws must be in place to protect the integrity, power and continuance of the hierarchy.

7.      Political and social hierarchy
Part of Human Resource indoctrination is to reinforce the idea of hierarchy.  By reinforcing the idea of a class structure: lower, middle, upper, political and elite, the HR is given a goal that helps alleviate some of the inevitable sense that life could be much better than it is.  A powerful factor built into the HR experience is a gnawing sense of lack. This is the fuel that powers the Human Resource.

De-facto slaves who are told they are free, Human Resources intuitively know that something is amiss, but they cannot discern what it is.  The propaganda machine provides the answer: if they just work a little harder, they can fill that void with material possessions, social ascendancy, status and/or fame and that feeling of discontent will magically vanish.  Of course, this is an outright lie, but it serves its motivational purpose  since “enough” is an unreachable goal. 

The genius of the HR paradigm is its perpetual motion and self-sustaining nature.  All civilized humans are raised as Human Resources and so those who are least content, most fearful and most deluded work the hardest and rise fastest to positions of power within the hierarchy.  Once there, even if some truths are revealed to them, they are far too conditioned to question.

8.      Patriotism
Patriotism is the proactive form of Nationalism, a quasi-religious zealotry useful in times of national economic or imperialistic conquest.  Patriotic programming begins during the initial indoctrination phase and is reinforced within the social hierarchical network. 

Military and police organizations take patriotic indoctrination to extreme levels using brainwashing techniques developed over hundreds of years.  These include the wearing of uniforms, group chanting, forced labour, communal confinement, physical and mental abuse.  The result is soldiers who will kill on command.

9.      Sports
Sports provide a dual purpose.  First, sports create diversion from thinking.  They are an important form of escapism to nullify the effects of the slave experience and to occupy the HR’s mind with trivialities.  Pop Culture is also invaluable in this regard.

Team sports also instil a sense of belonging and harmlessly fulfill the basic human need for tribal identification.  Team sports teach temporary and limited cooperation amongst individuals in a goal-oriented response to a perceived threat by another tribe or team.  Team sports is mock warfare.

10.  Warfare
Warfare is perhaps the best use of Human Resources.  Warfare stimulates economic activity since things are destroyed and need to be replaced.  A sense of urgency is driven into HRs and makes them work harder, for longer hours and sometimes, for less pay.  They readily accept reduced liberties in exchange for promised security and a false sense of purpose.  Many, usually low quality HRs, are sacrificed in the name of warfare and this helps keep HR quality high and human population down to manageable levels, ensuring the availability of enough basic necessities to prevent hunger and or discomfort that might lead to discontent and/or open rebellion by HRs against their servitude and the power hierarchy.

11.  Job Training
Education of Human Resources consists of training for a specific job.  As mentioned earlier, critical thinking skills must be avoided at all costs.  In the past, education focused on a broad spectrum of cultural, scientific and philosophical disciplines.  Studies prove that this is dangerous and counterproductive in the long run.  Presently, in this technocratic age, testing is undertaken to determine the HR’s abilities and then it is channeled into a training program in preparation for a job matching its aptitudes.  Post secondary school job training facilities themselves create massive amounts of economic activity and often implement the useful tool of indebtedness at an early age.

12.  Money and Debt
Money and debt are the chains, the reins and the whip used to extract wealth from the Human Resource.  The illusion that money exists must be maintained at all costs lest the Human Resource seek other alternatives to meet its basic needs.  A constant stripping away of the HR’s ability to be self-sufficient is of paramount importance.  It must come to the realization that only money can get it what it needs and moreover, what it wants.  This places the HR’s focus directly and only on making money.

Debt is the powerful corollary of money.  If you can convince the HR that it can immediately have what it needs or wants and let it pay off the debt over time, even at a greater labour cost, you not only ensure its continued work and productivity, you stimulate its purchasing as well.  Remember, a Human Resource has only two purposes: production and consumption.

It must also believe that the debt plus the interest must be paid back and that failure to do so will result in punishment, loss of status, loss of purchasing ability and its relative freedom.

13.  Media
Media is the most powerful indoctrination tool ever created.  Through the use of outright lies and half-truths cleverly packaged by the propaganda machine, media promises mental diversion from the pain of HR servitude, while driving home the illusions and falsehoods instilled in early childhood.  Media stimulates consumption while ensuring social cohesiveness, patriotism, nationalism, hierarchy, common culture and rules, individuality and the idea of relative freedom while reinforcing fearfulness. 

The Internet, in these early stages, presents some real threats to the power structure and the indoctrination and propaganda programs.  No effort is being spared by the state and its controllers to circumvent these threats before they become real problems.

14.  Citizenship equals Ownership
As mentioned earlier, citizenship equates with ownership.  There are only a few places left on the earth where people can live off the land without paying homage to a power structure.  These include remote parts of the Amazon basin, Borneo and New Guinea.  The governments that control these territories lay claim to the Human Resources contained therein, but do not have the will or ability to enforce these claims or develop these resources.  Everywhere else, Human Resources are controlled and developed, albeit haphazardly in some locations, to serve the greater economic engine.  It is the politician’s duty to work tirelessly to alleviate these inefficiencies and increase productivity.

15.  Civilization equals Slavery
Citizenship is a direct consequence of civilization, civilization being defined as “governed” in opposition to “free.”  Civilized people are typically ministered to by a central, multi-tiered government that controls the social flux and the welfare of the people as far as it benefits the state.  In short, civilized people are slaves owned by the state that lays claim to them or that they voluntarily pay homage to.

16.  Husbandry
The state then has an obligation to care for the welfare of the citizens, insofar as it benefits the state.  This is the same relationship a farmer has with his livestock.  For a farm to be successful, the livestock must produce and to be productive they must be well cared for.  For the politician and his role in Human Resource development, the preferred term is Human Resource Husbandry.

Historically, during the early years of civilization and overt slavery, the slave owner provided shelter, food and healthcare to keep his slaves productive and to prevent loss through sickness, death and running away.  This expensive inconvenience limited the plantation owner’s profits.  Also, slaves who were aware of their slavery put out only enough effort to avoid punishment.

With the advent of the industrial revolution, the so-called freeing of the slaves put them in the position of having to provide food, shelter and healthcare for themselves.  Without the benefit of real property or free lands on which to subsist, the slave had to seek employment for money to purchase the necessities that were once included free as part of his servitude. 

This was an ingenious development by those in power: wealthy industrialists who now control the state and the human and other resources it owns.

17.  Cultivating False Ideas of Freedom and Social Agenda
Maintaining the illusions of freedom, rights and government concession to the Human Resources is paramount in maintaining compliance and optimization of the HR’s dual role as producer/consumer.  The propaganda media apparatus is instrumental in achieving this goal. 

Social contracts should be implemented and administered with a “carrot and stick” approach—small favours granted in exchange for greater control backed by punitive rules.  This fine-tunes the social machine to produce the greatest profits, ensuring hard work by the HR’s and maximum spending of their earnings on the products of their labours.

18.  Multiculturalism
Multiculturalism is another useful tool for the HR manager.  While encouraging individual cultural mores, emphasis must be placed on the idea that all Human Resources are of equal value and that personal belief is a right granted by the power structure. 

Concurrently, through the propaganda media, mistrust of different cultures must be fostered to prevent HR solidarity and to instil fear.  This is a purposely confusing divide and conquer technique that prevents a homogenization of cultures and belief systems that could conceivably threaten the power structure’s hegemony.

19.  Immigration
Since an abundance of Human Resources ensures consumption and the necessity of earning money to purchase basic needs, a liberal immigration policy must be in place.  The inward flow of Human Resources must be maintained to provide a diverse pool of motivated HR’s from which the most suitable and potentially profitable individuals may be selected by industry.  Since overcrowding and competition put stress upon the HR social fabric, to placate the outcry from the vast majority of minimally productive Human Resources the propaganda machine must maintain the illusion that immigration policy is extremely selective or that every effort is being made to stem the flow of unauthorized immigration.

The propaganda media must also embark upon an international campaign to create the belief that opportunity awaits the immigrant thereby increasing the flow of immigration.

Conclusion
The politician must realize that it is also a Human Resource, but is in an enviable control position, charged with the implementation and maintenance of the socioeconomic design system as outlined above. 

The politician must have a skill set that matches this important responsibility.  It must demonstrate its ability to sincerely believe the lies and half-truths promoted by the propaganda machine.  In addition, it must abandon all humanist ideology while simultaneously maintaining a façade of adherence to its tenets.  The politician must constantly and continuously use fear as a tool to implement desired behaviours in the Human Resources in its charge.  Lastly, but most important, it must demonstrate unrelenting and unquenchable ambition within the political structure, even to the point of what might be considered a pathology. 

In short, the ability to believe two conflicting views irrespective of truth or justice, the firm belief that Human Resources are husbanded for their own good and the good of society coupled with ambition that has no limits nor follows any sort of moral code beyond the desire to ensure profit for its handlers will guarantee the politician’s success in the care and management of Human Resources.

27 Clues That Your Government Is A Corporatacracy And Not A Democracy

27 Clues That Your Government Is A Corporatacracy And Not A Democracy
Enlightened Opinion, by Bodie Satva

“Fascism should rightly be called Corporatism, as it is the merger of corporate and government power.”
            Benito Mussolini


Ever wonder why the FDA steadfastly refuses to label genetically modified foods or why the cities are choked with traffic and traffic cameras?  Doesn’t it seem odd that kids can graduate from high school and not be able to read or find their own hometown on a map?  

You might even live in a country that exports oil and yet has some of the highest gas prices in the world. Isn’t it frustrating that every time you turn around there is another law requiring some payment for or prohibition against the things you like or want to do?  

There is a reason for all of this.  You live in a Corporatacracy and not a Democracy.

Democracy in its purist form is defined as self rule, but in western nations democracy defines a form of government that is by, of and for the people who are subjects of a governing body or nation.  Today, at least in North America, democratic governance is now controlled by, of and for multinational corporations and their shareholders.  Popular rule has degenerated into corporate rule and is rapidly approaching a form of fascist totalitarianism.

Fascism describes a political system originally designed as a partnership between government and business to increase economic and social efficiency.  But 57 years after the world went to war to stop it, the word fascism itself has become little more than an epithet, a derogatory term thrown about to discredit anyone who disagrees with you.  We have Islamo-fascism, Nazism, the Christian right and Zionism, none of which are truly fascist in the strictest sense.

Fascism as a political design began around the same time as nationalism, in the middle of the 19th century when many European kingdoms fell or were transformed by a growth in popular democracy by racially similar peoples enclosed by natural or war-hardened borders.

True fascism is a form of totalitarian socialism where government assumes control of every aspect human activity, both economic and social.  The means of production, both business and labour, are highly regulated.  Government bureaucrats are hand-picked from the most successful business and labour leaders to design regulations for worker protection, health and safety, social design, education, as well as economic productivity, profit regulation, and the control of money including the abolition of usury (interest). 

The rise of Fascism in the 20th century was a direct result of the inequities generated by Capitalism, its upward flow of wealth to an elite class and the constant boom and bust cycles of overproduction and profit taking that culminated in the First Great Depression and the suffering of the working class. 

Fascism is the exact opposite of laissez faire Capitalism where government does not interfere in the marketplace.  It is also anti-democratic, not exercising the will of the people but instead husbanding the people like farm animals and regulating their activities for the good of society, which is deemed to be the good of the people themselves. People are considered incapable of conducting their own affairs without governmental guidance in a fascist society.

 
 The Ten Tenets Of Fascism

1. Nationalism

2. Foreign Policy: Militaristic Imperialsm.  Culitivation of warrior mentality in the Homeland

3. Authoritarianism: Total control by government

4. Social Darwinism:  Weak institutions and individuals perish, determination of which is government mandate

5. Social Interventionism
          a. Indoctrination
          b. Abortion, Eugenics and Euthanasia
          c. Culture, Sex and Sexuality

6. Economic Policies
          a. Corporatism, socialism, syndicalism (control of government and industry by labour unions)
          b. State supervision of the economy (Italy)

7. Economic Planning
          a. Private property only if it benefits the state (society)
          b. Collective rights supersede individual rights
          c. Abolition of interest

8. Social Welfare
          

9. Racism and Racialism

10. Secularism

In a Fascist society, government controls business, ostensibly for the good of society, but that, we now know, is one of the oldest lies of those who control. This same justification operates in a Corporatist system, but here the tables are turned. Business interests and the wealthy elite control the government.  

The term fascism is not relevant in North America in the 21st century.  A better, more accurate term is Corporatacracy   It combines the worst of both the Capitalistic and Fascist models.

“The great strength of the totalitarian state is that it forces those who fear it to imitate it.”
            Adolf Hitler

Corporatacracy is perhaps the most heinous form of fascism.  Tending towards ever greater totalitarianism, it controls the machinery of government to insure the upward flow of capital and property from the people to an elite class of wealthy individuals.  Corporatism incorporates nearly every tenet of fascism, de-emphasizing and even disguising some while expanding on others.  In a coproratacracy, the control of government is even more remote from the people it controls, especially in so-called democratic countries since the democratic mechanism itself is under the control of corporations.  Being non-democratic, Corporatacracy need not concern itself with international boundaries.

Since a modern corporation’s only interest is its own bottom line, in a Corporatist system, business interests and the wealthy elite control government, not for the good of society, but for personal profit.  Society is catered to only as far as it increases corporate profit margins.  People are considered human resources to be developed and exploited and are given just enough sustenance, comfort and diversion to keep them working, buying and not rebelling against their servitude.  To keep the bottom line fat, propaganda, indoctrination and outright lies are extensively used as are false-flag operations, government secrecy and military adventurism. 

From the standpoint of personal liberty, self-determination and world peace, there is no greater threat to mankind than the Corporacratic form of government.

Tenets of Corporatacracy (f)* (fascist as well)

1.  Lobbying: t
he purchase of favourable legislation through bribery of government officials

2.  Limiting political participation (f) through the use of propaganda, control of media and economic disenfranchisement; running for public office is only possible by the rich or those backed by wealth.

3.  Corporate and government control of news and entertainment media for disinformation, social conditioning and to keep people fearful of each other (divide and conquer) (f)

4.  Unencumbered use of propaganda/lies/doublespeak (f)
 In Hitler’s Germany, Action T-4, the elimination of 275,000 “undesirable” invalids and the “mentally deficient,” was carred out at the “Charitable Foundation for Curative and Institutional Care.”  In the US they have the “P.A.T.R.I.O.T” act.

5.  Corporate welfare and bailouts by taxpayers:  Reduction of capitalistic risk, corporate profit insurance and the externalization of business costs to citizens.

6.  Private Public Partnerships (PPP) (f): The very definition of fascism.  Subcontracts, often no-bid contracts for public services parceled out to select, for-profit corporations.

7.  Corporate/Government revolving door. (f) : business leaders move back and forth from elected or appointed office to private business for the purpose of insuring legislation favourable to business interests and to grant favours to the moneyed elite, themselves included

8.  Foreign policy geared toward economic Imperialism

9.  Fiat currency: Printed money with no real value. Governmental treasury department responsibility subcontracted to private sector.  Legal tender under corporate control.

10.Legalized Usury (interest): borrowed money to be paid back in full plus interest.  At one time in the US usury was limited to 10% but those laws have been voided thanks to corporate lobbying efforts. In some instances interest can range from 340% to 456% per year with no upper limit.

There is an upside to all of this.  When you are ruled by a corporatacracy the rules you have been taught no longer apply. 

Voting along party lines is futile since both parties serve the same masters and nobody can reach a state of electability unless they have been bought and paid for by the ruling elite.

Don't worry. You still have votes. They are the dollars you possess.  Corporations are all and only about money.  Therefore, how you spend your money is of utmost importance in a corporatacracy.  Once you accept the fact of corporacratic governance you have the power to either feed the monster or not feed it. You have the right to spend your money where you want, to pay your debts or default on them, to work for money or for something else.  You don’t have to shop at WalMart or buy Microsoft products or spend money where you don’t choose.  Better yet, start bartering and quit using money altogether. 

Even payment of taxes is voluntary.  Ask any politician.  If taxes weren’t voluntary, you would be a slave since your money represents your labour.  Nobody, not even the government can force you to work for them. There are laws, even constitutional amendments against slavery.  Mandatory taxes is just another lie.

You don’t need anyone to set you free because you’re already free.  Freedom is like your body.  Exercise it and it gets stronger.

Ahmadinejad Demands Nuclear Inspections

Ahmadinejad Demands Nuclear Inspections  
By Bodie Satva, Staff Writer

 In an address to an emergency session of the United Nations General Assembly, Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accused president Barak Hussein Obama of the United States of masterminding terrorist attacks against Arab nations and threatening to invade Iran in an attempt to control the world’s supply of oil. Ahmadinejad maintained the United States was a rogue nation that had an active nuclear weapons program, produced and sold weapons of mass destruction worldwide, supported dictators with massive amounts of foreign aid and threatened world peace and stability.  He urged the United Nations to demand that the United States cease and desist all such activity and allow IAEA inspectors access to its military bases and nuclear facilities.

 “Since the tragic events of September 11, 2001, the United States has embarked on a course of economic world domination,” he claimed, “beginning with the invasion of the sovereign nation of Afghanistan in 2002.  America is toppling governments like dominoes, invading Iraq in 2003, fomenting unrest in Tunisia, Egypt, and Syria and helping to destroy the government of Libya in 2011.”

Ahmadinejad explained how US foreign policy and its covert operations have led to the deaths of at least three Arab leaders, including the immensely popular Moammar Gadaffi of Libya.  The civilian death toll in this recent military adventurism is not immediately known but is estimated to be well over one million people. 

“With the imposition of sanctions that hurt our people by preventing export of our oil and the import of supplies, the US already has Iran under seige,” Ahmadinejad declared.  Furthermore, they are amassing an armada that includes upwards of 100,000 troops in the Persian Gulf in obvious preparation for an invasion.

“The roadmap is right here,” he said, waving a copy of Which Path to Persia, by the Brookings Institute, a corporate think tank funded by Western international financers.  “Don’t think Iran is alone in this,” he said, turning to address Wang Min and Vitaly Churkin, the UN ambassadors of China and Russia, “your countries are on the list as well.”

Ahmadinejad explained how the US was the hub of an “axis of evil“ that included Great Britain, Israel and France and how it routinely ignored UN mandates including the Kyoto Protocol on global warming and the authority of the World Court.

“The United States has a long history of using nuclear weaponry against civilians,” he maintained “beginning with Japan in 1945 and the recent use of depleted uranium weapons in the Balkans, Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya. ``Iran has no nuclear arsenal to protect itself from United States aggression,” he said.  “The international community must band together to stop expansion of the American Empire, the same way it eventually stopped Hitler’s Germany after its invasion of Poland.”

 Iran’s president went on to detail how the U.S. gives foreign aid and supplies “weapons to the terrorist nation of Israel,” a country that uses missiles, tanks and grenades against rock-throwing peasants in lands it illegally seized in 1967. 

 He went on: “The US claims to be a freedom loving democracy, but in reality, its single-party system of government is controlled by money from profit-oriented multinational corporations that cultivate self-serving legislation, dictate foreign and domestic policy and siphon off tax revenues.”  He pointed out that the US, with only 4.6 percent of the world’s population, single-handedly uses up to 60% of the world’s resources.

“The United States is a greedy nation of pigs,” Ahmadinejad told the General Assembly. “While three billion people live on only two dollars per day or less, the average American thinks they are entitled to at least seventy-five times this amount,” he said.  “Americans are destroying the planet on which we all live yet they are unwilling to limit their consumption.  If the United States refuses to allow IAEA inspections, then the United Nations must take decisive action to remove Barak Hussein Obama from power,” Ahmadinejad warned.  He suggested a military blockade and economic sanctions but did not rule out the possibility of a pre-emptive strike.

At his palatial retreat on the Hawaiian island of Maui, President Barak Hussein Obama was unavailable for comment.

All News Is Fiction

_All news is fiction just as all writing is propaganda.

Unless you realize this, news--which is a cleverly disguised agenda posing as facts--will forever confuse you, which is exactly the overall purpose of modern news.

News is supposed to be unbiased and in the past I think early reporters tried to honor that.  But honor is dead in today's consumer culture.  The powers that seek ever more control don't want people to learn raw facts and draw their own conclusions.  Thinking is dangerous.  Besides, raw facts can be very boring.

Today's news is about selling--not only selling laundry soap, tampons and toilet paper--but selling cliquish cultural mores that feed desire and a sense of scarcity and foster a dependence on authority by instilling fear. News titillates and horrifies and props the facts with connotations that scream louder than the actual words.  Since the agenda now overshadows the information, quite often the "facts" aren't even factual.  They're outright lies.  Truth isn't important.  Your conditioned reaction is all that matters.

I will not lie to you.  I'm a propagandist too.  My "agenda" is to get you to think for yourself (and maybe buy some of the junk I'm selling so I can keep doing this).  My news is a mirror.  The facts are true.  Only the events are fiction. As the days and weeks roll into the future and as real news breaks through the crumbling ruins of this dying civilization I will reverse engineer current events to reveal their underlying truths. 

Make no mistake, this is a fake news site, take it or leave it.  I'm not trying to report.  I'm slapping you in the face and telling you to snap out of it.  WAKE UP!

In the end, (but before my owners send me off to Camp FEMA) if I can get just one of you to stop parroting, "Polly want a Camry" and start thinking for yourself, my efforts here will have been worthwhile.
