Sort of related but I was going to post this on facebook this morning but for some reason I can't access it now.
I think it's important to note the language being used surrounding "environmental" movements. They don't really talk of "environmental justice" anymore. Only "climate" justice. This is a clear signal that most mainstream environmentalism has been drafted into the service of internationalist agendas. The open secret is that big corporations have 0 intention of halting their plundering, poisoning, and death-creating activities. Quite the contrary. Every indication is that have every their intention is to increasing them exponentially. So the "climate" movement is a thin pretext. They want to implement a system of top-down control on the rest of humanity under the guise of abating a climate crisis and this is a plan that has been in the works for a while. Figures/mascots such as Greta Thunberg are only there to help create the illusion of popular support.
HI Tessa, I am moved and fascinated by your personal approach to history. It is such a contrast to my own growing up in capitalist America, an empire built on genocide and enslavement. Growing up I was told the USSR was evil, all bad. And I remember thinking that was impossible, everything contains both, and pure evil isn't possible. I was always intrigued on a superficial level, but I knew in my bones that this 'communism' of each according to their ability, each according to their needs' was not actually happening there. I met the Trotskyist Internationalist, the SWP through a mural project when they were touring artists who were working on a mural in NYC. I had just been blown away by the Mexican muralists and was quite disappointed by the artists I knew who said they didn't like paintings with human faces. The idea that a Mexican worker could learn the enitre history of colonization by looking at murals at the DMV seemed quite powerful and revolutionary, as opposed to seeing abstract expressionism. This party taught me about Trotsky and his fight against Stalin, it was the fight between workers of the world VS all for Soviet Russia, another form of nationalism. I spent 10 years in this party trying to fit in, changing the way I dressed to business casual to be taken seriously by my co-workers. I remember with great fondness the days of working in garment factories in Miami and NYC, and the absolute solidarity as the clarity of our Marxist economics of labor power being the one thing that can be purchased that makes more value, unlike anything else you can buy, except for seeds. I learned so much from my co-workers that were mostly Latin American women who were so incredibly grateful to live in USA, where they could get a restraining order against an abusive husband if they needed to. I worked in Miami during the Elian Gonzalez ordeal selling the Militant newspaper door to door in working class neighborhoods of Cubans. One of my favorite Cubans was a strike organizer from a factory in Ft Lauderdale, who cringed with knowing truth when I told her Fidel would be proud. She knew it was true, that she came here with certain expectations of what was acceptable treatment in a work place, and the skills to organize against anything less than those conditions. I met many Cubans who's minds were blown by the racism they experienced. It wasn't until the rectification period that abruptly ended after the fall of the USSR, that was allowing Cuba to forge a true revolutionary course fueled by love against USSR's Stalinist blueprint. The USA forced Cuba into this arrangement, and continues to punish Cuba for standing up to US imperialism, creating an example that it is possible. I met some American Black farmers before and after their trip to Cuba, where their minds were blown by the organization of farming, and one kept saying, "I saw a lotta love in Cuba." The idea that a funeral was like $5, was a huge deal because many Black farmers have lost their land if too many people in their family die in close time frames because of the cost of funerals, not something I had ever thought about. I say all this because I admired the Bolshevik revolution, that from APril to Oct. they were able to go from a socialist democracy that would be just more of the same to, workers and farmers taking power for the first time in human history. I do still ascribe to a class analysis, even though I have blossomed way beyond my marxist teachings, which completely deny the unseen world and the power of love. Though Che Guevara was always clear on this, that a true revolutionary is motivated by love, and his wish for his children is they would care equally about a stranger in a strange land as much as a known loved one. I totally appreciate your personal stories and it is the saddest thing ever to see how empathy was weaponized by the soviet bureaucracy. Industrialization and exploitation of the working class brought so much 'progress' that makes our lives easier, and the cost of which we are starting to come to terms with. The question is how do we come to terms? Here as an American with a lackluster education, and drive for greatness in my working class schools, I have to come to terms with the genocide and slavery which benefitted my ancestors and continues to afford me privileges despite amazing progress. I have been thinking a lot about grief and gratitude as two pieces that create the possibility of fully feeling each of them. Grief for the blood on which this nation was built, and perhaps gratitude for the structures that have continued to allow people to fight for their rights. I've lawyers had a thing against lawyers until an exhibit at the NY Historical Society around voting rights under Jim Crow elucidated to me the power of fighting in the courts. Legal battles have won us many rights, but were equally backed by bodies in the streets. Not sure what my point is in writing all this, other than to be the other side of the world coming to terms with the same things from the other side of the ocean. Sending you much love and gratitude for helping me see a more multi-faceted view. I have worked with Russians in factories too, and love my many Russian friends who see right through this latest attempt to tighten control on our lives because of their experiences. But at the end of it all, while love will save the day, it is equally important to know who the enemy is, and the Tzar was no friend of working people, and perhaps peasants lived a better life because they were more connected to nature, and the destruction f this by industrialization/communist state is a travesty. I am most interested in creating regenerative villages that produce nutrient rich food for the peoples of the world, while sequestering carbon, and composting our shit, and planting trees, and loving each other and the earth as we are all one. I hope to dance with you soon, in the streets, or in the woods. This analysis is one that makes most sense to me, bringing together our gut biomes, and the earth's biome, the connection that is lost through all the inauthenticity of materialism be it soviet style, or capitalist style, either way it's the disconnection that allows them to maintain their power. So the next revolutions will be grounded in our being biomes on a biome, and the love, adoration and wonder that fosters. Love & Light, Fairy Ann
When people think of Nazi Germany they typically think of 1939 to 1945, so when I liken the depersonalization of "the unvaccinated" in the west today, to how Jews and other minorities were treated under the Third Reich, I am taken to task.
Today is more like 1932 than 1939, still pre-war, with the way forward not yet clear. The US is not Germany, and is not even the UK.
Analogies can only be taken so far, but the process of depersonalizing a group of people, to blame them for things going bad, is a standard operating procedure.
It has to become normal to blame the scapegoat group. Everybody has to know.
It has to be common and accepted knowledge that this group made our current problems.
It looks to me like this is still in beta testing with blaming the COVID-unvaccinated.
The US government today is more like the floundering Weimar republic in 1932, with divisions, and lack of a clear, guiding vision for the country. In 1932 the Weimar Republic did not have a majority in government, but it had the largest minority. Close upon its heels were the National Socialists and the Communist Party.
The national Socialists and Communists were in opposition, and considered a political alliance. They did align on some things. Positions were not too different to reconcile, and the Deutschmark was not yet into hyperinflation.
With the ongoing global great depression, the Deutschmark, unmoored from gold by necessity, and based on a property bubble, started inflating away so rapidly that it was an economic crisis. People were desperate for a solution. The US is not there yet, but it looks like it is on the horizon. The world does not need to pay the US for dollars. Other global trade arrangements can be made....
If we resist the normalization of unfair scapegoating every time it is attempted, then we resist being divided against each other by the owners. When the crisis hits in earnest, they need us to be divided against each other, in order to maintain their positions of power and ownership over us and over the physical world and it's life forms.
Enjoy it when you do these historical comparisons with your homeland. Seems like a book waiting to be written. So many comparisons from the former SU, the bolshiveks and today. If we don't learn from history we are bound to repeat it.
This post is beyond eye opening for me. It uncloaks a superstructure that I previously only vaguely had a sense of and makes sense of how things have operated for quite some time. And the responses! Streamfortyseven! Wow.
I'd first read Sutton's works years ago when they came out - and they were checkable, and they checked out. And after that... It was hard to believe much of anything about government, it seemed to me that the centralization of government was the problem, that governments should be decentralized to the maximum extent possible, and that governments should not have militaries - even armed police forces - which now look and act more and more like their formal military counterparts. If you look back at US history, and look at the Declaration of Independence, and the original US constitution of 1777, the Articles of Confederation, the kind of country created thereby - a confederation of republics - is far different than that created by the Constitution of 1787, which essentially created an oligarchic/aristocratic corporatist state. People really strongly opposed the Constitution of 1787, which was essentially a coup-d'etat forced by Wall Street interests headed up by Alexander Hamilton and John Jay, and this was expressed in quite thorough detail in the Anti-Federalist Papers [1] , which turned out to be quite prescient of the current situation... and the Convention of 1787 was held in absolute secrecy, with the proceedings only published some 53 *years* later. Ratification was similarly controversial, the votes in the elections to ratify were every bit as controversial at the time, as the 2020 Presidential election, and there's good evidence that results were significantly tampered with and altered [2], so that the ratification was at the time in considerable doubt, but the monied interests won out. The Bill of Rights was drafted by the Anti-Federalists to attempt to ameliorate the harms done by the Constitution of 1787 - especially the 10th Amendment, which was an attempt to amend away the Supremacy Clause. Of course, this move was checked by the US Supreme Court in 1803, when John Marshall, the Chief Justice, declared, in dicta, that "the courts decide what the law is", effectively centralizing power in a group of (now) nine people. So we wound up with the centralized corporatist government we have today, intensified by the "corporate personhood" doctrine put forth, also in dicta, in the Railroad Cases in the 1880s [3], and culminating in the creation of the National Security State in 1947 [4] which resulted in a system of "double government" [5]... and that's the end of what was left of the original form of more or less republican democracy.
The trouble with capitalism comes from simple mathematics. Capitalism depends on economic growth, which is essentially exponential - the lending of money at interest. And exponentially-increasing demand as against depleting resources eventually results in collapse, and that's what the state capitalist system(s) are headed for... [6]
Thank you for taking the time, effort, compassion, and love, expressed in your writings. Please accept my apologies if I'm wrong, but there appears to be a distinct lack of the God of the Bible/Holy Scriptures, and the love manifest and glorified in Jesus.
I suspect most of those that would think lowly of Christians haven't read or taken to heart the New or Old Testaments, and thus have a lack of understanding of the Christian Faith. As you so eloquently express, we are in deep doo doo. I would submit to you and your readers, that the Word and it's Truths offers a means of salvation for the entire world....if we are receptive and have the discipline to follow. God's Blessings to you and your readers.
Antony Sutton was an eyeopener for me as well. I knew bits and snippets of Western meddling in the USSR and Nazi Germany but he put it all together.
We should never forget that the first and second world war may have been planned by the same powers that established the CPSU and the NSDAP, but they eventually lost control of events.
It is interesting to note that great American families started to deliberately employ Chinese nannies as early as the 80s so that their children would pick up Chinese. Making is obvious that China's rise was meticulously planned as well.
I met James Corbett a few years back in Amsterdam. A small man with a sharp mind and a big heart to match.
Sometimes answer is too simple. Why we( humble) peasants have problems? We have problem when sick vampires see plenty of blood.
Evil psychopaths hate money based on Gold-standard. Best for peasants and useless eaters, is that they should finance their own demise and misery with worthless paper money????? Why to be normal and humble, when you can control and own them all?? Read:
From DWN:
“ A gold standard undoubtedly has many advantages over the pure fiat currency system that has now existed for 50 years, which has caused massive inflation, huge mountains of debt and the aforementioned redistribution to the rich. Because so far every gold standard in history has ultimately failed. Perhaps a new gold-based system can learn from the mistakes of its predecessors and avoid them in the future. Or can Bitcoin possibly be successful where gold has failed again and again?
Should it actually succeed in establishing a new global gold standard, this would not only be a victory for the workers of this world, but also for peace - because without almost unlimited printing of money, major destructive wars are hardly possible. Businesses and citizens would also be forced to be more frugal again if the central banks could not print unlimited amounts of money. Because the zombie companies weigh on the effectiveness of the economy, and excessive consumption with money created out of nothing means more resource consumption and more environmental pollution. So environmental protection would also benefit from a gold standard.
The ongoing corona crisis also shows what consequences a fiat currency system can have. Because the lockdowns and other expensive measures were only accepted in large parts by the population because the state was able to cushion the consequences of this policy with three-digit trillions sums.
The corona crisis could not have existed in this form with a gold standard. Even the massive scaremongering by politics and associations as well as the media would probably not have convinced the majority of citizens that they should suddenly pay significantly more taxes or that they would suddenly be sent into unemployment without state aid because their companies were due to the lockdowns are broke. Probably more citizens would then have asked themselves whether the corona measures in their entirety make sense at all, and would have looked for ways of dealing with the virus in other, less cost-intensive ways.”
GB was forerunner in Industrial revolution, much before continental Europe. But they learned in Victorian times how to feed big cities with junk food. If people think that now in 21st century is better, they need to think again. Oh, I cant wait to save planet and try Billy “ the kid killer” funny manure fake burger! Steak and Wiener Schnitzel is for vampires on top of pyramid only.
I read a little from Antony Sutton and find some big contradictions. At least Lenin busted “ global banksters plan, that Trocky should help build west style Central bank in Soviet Union. One of the big reasons that some “stubborn” have big problems, not being World Bank, or not under influence of IMF: Venezuela, Gaddafi’s Libya, Iraq, North Korea, Cuba etc. If you don’t control your own money supply, “they” own you.
