The Ism of Destruction Conclusion

The Final Days Of Capitalism

For the past century and a half, the issue of Fascism and Communism has inescapably confronted the American economic landscape. We as a nation, in a defining moment, had experienced a period of indiscretion as McCarthy and Hoover viciously attacked the socialists leaning consciousness as communists. In reality what this country was experiencing was the beginnings of a class struggle, when the United States would adopt the principles of corporatism, capitalism for the elite, against the interests of the multitudes, that middle class that serves as the backbone of any society, the working class.

Corporatism had become part of American economics even before the first great depression. With its beginning firmly implanted by the enactment of the 1913 Federal Reserve Act (FRA), by which the Banks took full control over our money supply. The large corporations, however, would begin to appear even prior to the passage of the FRA, as the industrial revolution began to take hold, and family fortunes had been amassed first through the slave trade then the opium trade with China .

This new law however, allowed the banks to expand the corporate presence in America and to develop even larger more powerful and politically dominant companies, companies that over time would become strong enough to take control of the Government itself.

By the late 1920’s and mid 1930’s the American Banking interests had begun to openly promote Fascism in Germany and Italy having paid hundreds of millions of dollars to both Mussolini and Hitler, in addition they entered into a coup to over through the duly elected government of the United States, the administration of Franklin Roosevelt, in its place was to be a fascist government. History acknowledges that this attempt was led by none other than the JP Morgan banking interests. This coup contrary to popular belief, did not fail.

Capitalism must of necessity control, not only labor, but the markets of commerce, and the product to be introduced. It is because of this need to expand its market presence that corporations continue to grow and absorb other companies, and to become monopolies, first in their geographical area, then internationally. A perfect example of this control is the terminator seed. The patented technology enables a seed company to genetically alter seed so that the plants that grow from it are sterile; farmers cannot use their seeds. The patent is broad, applying to plants and seeds of all species including both transgenic (genetically engineered) and conventionally-bred seeds.

Here then, the corporate presence has taken full control over the worlds food supply, they control what foods will be grown and the amount necessary, and the seeds by which to develop that market, and thereby the price.

What else could the purpose of this technology be, except to control the food supply and its market? Accordingly, several countries also following the capitalists formula have passed laws coercing this seeds use, thereby controlling agriculture on an international scale.

Capitalism now in its end stage had three important periods:

According to the Marxist economist Ernest Mandel, (a revolutionary Marxist theorist).who popularized the term “late-stage capitalism” with his 1972 Phd dissertation, believed that late-stage capitalism will be dominated by the machinations, or perhaps better, fluidities, of financial capital.

In his work Late Capitalism, Mandel argues for three periods in the development of capitalism. The last or "Late capitalism" is a term sometimes used to refer to capitalism from about 1950 onwards, generally with the implication that it is historically limited, and will eventually end.

The three stages:

First is market capitalism, which occurred from 1700 to 1850 and is characterized largely by the growth of industrial capital in domestic markets.

Second is monopoly capitalism, which lasted until approximately 1960, and is characterized by the imperialistic development of international markets as well as the exploitation of colonial territories.

Third, is late capitalism, which displays such features as the multinational corporation, globalized markets and labor, mass consumption, and the space of liquid multinational flows of capital!

Accordingly, Mandel and the other Marxist philosophers saw something of mischief with the capitalist system, and warned of its decaying effects and of the final and inevitable transition of government. They favored communism as the benefactor of the working class.

Mandel’s philosophy has its origin in Karl Marx's judgment that the capitalist mode of production, like any other mode of production, is in the broad sweep of history a limited and transient phenomenon, rather than being the natural, ever-lasting condition for human life. Thus, it can be periodized in terms of its historical emergence, its heyday, and its subsequent phase of decline and disappearance.

In general, Marx seems to have believed as a generalization that no mode of production disappears until it has developed all the productive forces which it can contain within its social relations of production. Technologies would ultimately become incompatible with the existing social framework, causing that social framework to break down, and a new social framework to emerge. According to Rosa Luxemburg (another Marxist philosopher), that could mean an advance to socialism as she had advocated, or fascism, or a relapse into barbarism.

What we have witnessed of the failure of democracy in America , with its progeny capitalism, is a transition of democracy into fascism.

The industrial revolution which began around 1760 made dramatic changes to the colonial society, by way of its economic functions. The process of economic and social change took place gradually over several decades. Yet prior to the onset of the industrial revolution the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita remained broadly stable, however, the Industrial Revolution and the emergence of the modern capitalist economy would soon change that. With the Industrial Revolution, began an era of per-capita economic growth in capitalist economies, like Europe and North America .

Friedrich Engels in The Condition of the Working Class in England in 1844 spoke of "an industrial revolution, a revolution which at the same time changed the whole of civil society." In his book A Vocabulary of Culture and Society, Raymond Williams states: The idea of a new social order based on major industrial change was clear in Southey and Owen, between 1811 and 1818, and was implicit as early as Blake in the early 1790s and Wordsworth at the turn of the century.

The causes of the Industrial Revolution and the on vent of modern capitalism were complicated and remain a topic for debate, with some historians believing the Revolution was an outgrowth of social and institutional changes brought by the end of feudalism in Britain after the English Civil War in the 17th century. As national border controls became more effective, the spread of disease was lessened, thereby preventing the epidemics common in previous times. The percentage of children who lived past infancy rose significantly, leading to a larger workforce. The Enclosure movement and the British Agricultural Revolution made food production more efficient and less labor-intensive, forcing the surplus population who could no longer find employment in agriculture into cottage industry, for example weaving, and in the longer term into the cities and the newly developed factories. The colonial expansion of the 17th century with the accompanying development of international trade, creation of financial markets and accumulation of capital are also cited as factors, as is the scientific revolution of the 17th century.
By the late 18th to the early 19th century with the expansion of modern capitalism new political philosophies would emerge vying for control over this new economy. The notion advanced under the old feudal systems of Europe , a merger between capital and government began in earnest with the Rothschild’s banking interests now fully in charge of 5 nations. The Rothschild dynasty would seek partnerships in America , and ready alliances were forged.

By the mid 19th century two opposing political theories or ideologies vying for control of the world’s political structure became antagonistic and began in open debate; Communism and Capitalism. Capitalism an outgrowth of the feudal system, the landowners aligned with the ruling elite, a monarch or king, was better defined originally as a form of Fascism and it was for this reason that Lenin and Marx attacked it. They argued for the working class, that class of individuals that had no right to land but only a right to sell their labor.

Marx and Engels clearly understood the differences, yet we are taught that they are evil, and should be feared, when in fact they fully understood capitalism, but took their preventive measures to the extreme.

Communism which is at the far left of the political scale is as evil as Fascism which is at the far right. Democracy can exist at neither end of the political arena, and capitalism can not exist under communism, but thrives under fascism, it is for this reason that democracy, which tolerates capitalism because the leaders are rewarded by the capitalists, and beholden to their wealth, that any democracy will transition over time to fascism.

The proponents of capitalism have inaccurately promoted capitalism as a more effective means of generating and redistributing wealth than socialism or communism, or have portrayed the widening gap between rich and poor that so concerned Marx and Engels as a temporary phenomenon. Recent history demonstrates that under Capitalism, more appropriately defined as corporate America , the discrepancy between the classes have widened substantially.

Marx thought that Capitalists were evil, that they exploited labor to enhance their own wealth. So far history has demonstrated that Marx view of Capitalism was a correct assessment. In all Capitalists countries but paradoxically America , Labor is used and discarded, as the Capitalists engender wealth for themselves. The recent financial crisis demonstrates the shift from a lack of adherence of labor, to the grants of financial support from those very persons disenfranchised by the capitalists system, the middle class.

Marx succinctly summarized his approach when he wrote in the first line of the first chapter of The Communist Manifesto, published in 1848:

“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”

This statement is a truism. Marx argued that capitalism, like previous socioeconomic systems, will inevitably produce internal tensions which will lead to its destruction. Just as capitalism replaced feudalism, he believed socialism will, in its turn, replace capitalism, and lead to a stateless, classless society called pure communism. This would emerge after a transitional period called the "dictatorship of the proletariat": a period sometimes referred to as the "workers state" or "workers' democracy".

The internal struggle Marx anticipated was to be a struggle between the classes, the working middle class and the elitist’s upper class. This struggle was inevitable, as the workers vied for their share of the wealth produced by their labor.

Historically Marx theory was both right and wrong. Capitalism Marx rightly theorized would fail, however Communism would also fail. That one element all have failed to consider in political equations is the human frailty greed.

It is time now for serious considerations of a new economic theory, one that eliminates the banks as the capitalists, and our elected official’s their beneficiaries. It is time for an economic system that would provide protection for the workers, punishes those who acquire wealth through dishonest means, and one that will more evenly redistribute that wealth.

It is also time we began to rethink the manner of control over our currency. To remove that control from the banks, that agency that has abused their franchise.

Perhaps that system would encompass the government itself as the capitalist, and manager of our money supply?

This series of essays relates to Capitalism, and how it has been a tool to promote the demise of Democracy. The theory is that Private Capitalism does not work within a system designed to promote the ends of justice, because Private Capitalization as the reader of these essays will discern, promotes injustice and a transition to an ulterior form of governance.

Volume 4, Financing the Opium trade with China

When one delves into historical fact, one name appears most often, the Rothschilds, they were the financiers of most illicit activity both in Europe and America, having bought controlling interests in British East India Shipping Company and the illegal Opium trade with China. They offered junior partnerships to New England 's leading American families.

The Russell, Coolidge, Delano , Forbes and Perkins families became partners in the Rothschilds venture and became fabulously rich smuggling Opium aboard their speedy Clipper ships to China.

In 1820 Samuel Russell bought out the Perkins syndicate and ran the Opium smuggling operation with his partner Warren Delano Jr. who was the grandfather of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

Britain had found a commodity that China would accept, Opium, imported from India , just a few chests at first, and then thousands. When the Chinese authorities tried to stop the Opium trade, the British sent their Gunboats. After nearly 20 years of turmoil the treaty of Tien-Tsin in 1858 not only allowed Opium to be imported, but handed over China 's ports and all her international trade to Western control.

In 1842, the British stole Hong Kong from China in an Opium drug-deal called the treaty of Nanking signed 29 August 1842. The Qing government was obliged to pay the British government six million silver dollars for the opium that had been confiscated by Lin Zexu in 1839 (Article IV), 3 million dollars in compensation for debts that the Hong merchants in Canton owed British merchants (Article V), and a further 12 million dollars in compensation for the cost of the war (VI). The total sum of 21 million dollars was to be paid in installments over three years and the Qing government would be charged an annual interest rate of 5 per cent for the money that was not paid in a timely manner (Article VII).

Nevertheless, the treaties of 1842-3 left several unsettled issues. In particular it did not resolve the status of the opium trade. Although the American treaty of 1844 explicitly banned Americans from selling opium, the trade continued as both the British and American merchants were only subject to the legal control of their consuls. The opium trade was later legalized in the Treaties of Tianjin, which China concluded after the Second Opium War.

The Russell family who controlled the US arm of the Rothschild drug smuggling operation, set up the Skull and Bones fraternity at Yale University in 1832. William Huntington Russell founded the society along with fellow classmate Alphonso Taft. America's big money families formed the fraternity's inner power circle. Among them were the Taft, Russell, Schiff, Harriman, Bush, Warburg, Guggenheim, Rockefeller, Stemson, Weighouser, Vanderbilt, Goodyear and Pillsbury families they and others were all members.
NOTE 1: The only chapter of Skull and Bones created outside Yale was a chapter at Wesleyan University in 1870. That chapter, the Beta of Skull & Bones, became independent in 1872 in a dispute over control over creating additional chapters; the Beta Chapter reconstituted itself as Theta Nu Epsilon.
Note 2: Skull and Bones has developed a membership that is heavily tilted towards the "Power Elite". Barack Obama's economic adviser, Goolsbee was initiated into the club in 1991.
Note 3: Members are assigned nicknames. "Long Devil" is assigned to the tallest member; "Boaz" goes to any member who is a varsity football captain. Many of the chosen names are drawn from literature ("Hamlet," "Uncle Remus"), from religion and from myth. The banker Lewis Lapham passed on his name, "Sancho Panza," to the political adviser Tex McCrary. Averell Harriman was "Thor," Henry Luce was "Baal," McGeorge Bundy was "Odin." George H. W. Bush was "Magog," a name reserved for a member considered to have the most sexual experience. George W. Bush, unable to decide, was temporarily called "Temporary," and the name was never changed.
Note 4: Interestingly: The tradition of Gog and Magog is often associated with apocalyptic traditions, mainly in connection with Ezekiel 38 and 39; The War of Ezekiel 38–39 or The War of Gog and Magog is a controversial prophetical interpretation of two chapters of the Bible.

The original families associated with the drug trade, intermarried over the generations to form America 's big money aristocracy. Skull and bones member Alfonso Taft catapulted his son William Taft into the presidency.

Control of the Roman Catholic Church and American Banking

By 1823 the Rothschilds had been appointed guardians of the entire papal treasure and took over the financial operations of the Catholic Church. It was not long after that, enraged citizens accused the Rothschilds of trying to control the world's money markets. Fearing for their lives, the Rothschilds retreated into the shadows and cast their eyes on the youthful USA . To avoid publicity, the Rothschilds created and hid behind two front companies, J P Morgan and Kuhn and Loeb.

In 1851 George Peabody founded George Peabody and Company to meet the increasing demand for securities issued by the American railroads and three years later went into partnership with Junius Spencer Morgan (father of J. P. Morgan) to form Peabody, Morgan and Co., where the two financiers worked together until Peabody’s retirement in 1864. On his retirement, the firm was renamed J. S. Morgan & Co. The former UK merchant bank Morgan Grenfell (now part of Deutsche Bank), international universal bank JPMorgan Chase and investment bank Morgan Stanley can all trace their roots to Peabody 's bank. (Many Skull and Bones would become partners and principals in Morgan related firms).

By 1906 J P Morgan's bank controlled 1/3 of America 's railways and over 70% of the steel industry. He eventually had a major stake in the 20th century’s major companies, among them AT&T, ITT, General Electric, General Motors, Du Pont, and US Steal.

In Robert B. Forbes's autobiography Personal Reminiscences (1882), he talks about talking a trip to visit "constituents" in Europe , in 1841. His uncle, merchant T. H. Perkins went with him. In London they met with Forbes, Forbes and Co, Barings and the Rothschilds, "who were valuable constituents of Russell & Co."

During that first Opium War, the Chief of Operations for Russell & Co. in Canton was Warren Delano, Jr., grandfather of Franklin Roosevelt. He was also the US vice-consul and once wrote home, "The High officers of the [Chinese] Government have not only connived at the trade, but the Governor and other officers of the province have bought the drug and have taken it from the stationed ships … in their own Government boats."

The trading life started off rather Spartan, but through the years many upscale amenities led to a pampered lifestyle. Profits were huge and many fortunes were made. Warren Delano went home with one, lost it and then went back to China to get more. Russell Company partners included John Cleve Green, banker and railroad investor who made large donations to and was a trustee for Princeton; A. Abiel Low a shipbuilder, merchant and railroad owner who backed Columbia University ; merchants Augustine Heard and Joseph Coolidge. Coolidge's son organized the United Fruit Company, and his grandson, Archibald C. Coolidge, was a co-founder of the Council on Foreign Relations. Partner John M. Forbes "dominated the management" of the Chicago , Burlington and Quincey, with Charles Perkins as President. Other partners and captains included Joseph Taylor Gilman, William Henry King, John Alsop Griswold, Captain Lovett and Captain J. Prescott. Captain Prescott called on his friend and agent in Hong Kong F. T. Bush, Esq. frequently. Russell & Co. and Perkins & Co. families, relations and friends are well represented in the Order of Skull and Bones.

The discovery of gold in California brought more dynamics, increased clipper ship activity and a renewed impetus for transcontinental railroads, which were financed a great deal by opium profits from investors in America , Britain and Scotland.

The Wall Street financial meltdown, which has affected all of the industrial nations, and the manner in which our government responded, has transformed America from a Democracy to a Fascist Oligarchy, (Corporate governance) couple this with the direction we have taken as a nation, the wars of choice, and their furtherance leaves us to consider the cataclysmic end we are to face.

America is the last democracy to fall, and with its demise the world will follow. Rothschilds current wealth is estimated to be $500 Trillion. Assets of JP Morgan Chase are currently stated to be $2 trillion.

Volume 3, Capitalism must promote Fascism

"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini.

The early twentieth century Italians, who invented the word fascism, also had a more descriptive term for the concept -- estato corporativo: the corporatist state. Americans, have come to equate fascism with its symptoms, rather than its structure. The structure of fascism is corporatism, “the corporate state”. The structure of fascism is the union, marriage, merger and fusion of corporate economic power with governmental authority, and power.

Failing to understand fascism, as the consolidation of corporate economic and governmental power in the hands of a few, is to completely misunderstand what fascism is. It is the consolidation of this power that produces the regimes that lead our nation.

While we are able to identify the opposite of fascism, i.e., government intrusion into and usurpation of private enterprise, we have not been trained to identify the intrusion into government by private enterprise, the very definition of the fascist state.

Fascism is defined by the following model:

1. Powerful and continuing expressions of nationalism. Encouraged by the prominent display of flags and bunting to the ubiquitous lapel pins, the fervor to show patriotic nationalism, both on the part of the regime itself and of citizens caught up in its frenzy. Catchy slogans, pride in the military, and demands for unity were common themes in expressing this nationalism. It was usually coupled with a suspicion of things foreign that often bordered on xenophobia.

2. Disdain for the importance of human rights. The regimes themselves viewed human rights as of little value and a hindrance to realizing the objectives of the ruling elite. Through clever use of propaganda, the population was brought to accept these human rights abuses by marginalizing, even demonizing those targeted. When abuse was egregious, the tactic was to use secrecy, denial, and disinformation.

3. Identification of enemies/scapegoats as a unifying cause. The most significant common thread among these regimes was the use of scapegoats as a means to divert the people’s attention from other problems, to shift blame for failures, and to channel frustration in controlled directions. The methods of choice, relentless propaganda and disinformation were usually effective. Often the regimes would incite “spontaneous” acts against the target scapegoats, usually communists, socialists, liberals, Jews, ethnic and racial minorities, traditional national enemies, members of other religions, secularists, homosexuals, and “terrorists.” Active opponents of these regimes were inevitably labeled as terrorists and dealt with accordingly.

4. The supremacy of the military/avid militarism. Ruling elites always identified closely with the military and the industrial infrastructure that supported it. A disproportionate share of national resources was allocated to the military, even when domestic needs were acute. The military was seen as an expression of nationalism, and was used whenever possible to assert national goals, intimidate other nations, and increase the power and prestige of the ruling elite.

5. Rampant sexism. Beyond the simple fact that the political elite and the national culture were male dominated, these regimes inevitably viewed women as second class citizens. They were adamantly anti-abortion and also homophobic. These attitudes were usually codified in Draconian laws that enjoyed strong support by the orthodox religion of the country, thus lending the regime cover for its abuses.

6. A controlled mass media. Under some of the regimes, the mass media were under strict direct control and could be relied upon never to stray from the party line. Other regimes exercised more subtle power to ensure media orthodoxy. Methods included the control of licensing and access to resources, economic pressure, appeals to patriotism, and implied threats. The leaders of the mass media were often politically compatible with the power elite. The result was usually success in keeping the general public unaware of the regimes’ excesses.

7. Obsession with national security. Inevitably, a national security apparatus was under direct control of the ruling elite. It was usually an instrument of oppression, operating in secret and beyond any constraints. Its actions were justified under the rubric of protecting “national security,” and questioning its activities was portrayed as unpatriotic or even treasonous.

8. Religion and ruling elite tied together. Unlike communist regimes, the fascist and protofascist regimes were never proclaimed as godless by their opponents. In fact, most of the regimes attached themselves to the predominant religion of the country and chose to portray themselves as militant defenders of that religion. The fact that the ruling elite’s behavior was incompatible with the precepts of the religion was generally swept under the rug. Propaganda kept up the illusion that the ruling elites were defenders of the faith and opponents of the “godless.” A perception was manufactured that opposing the power elite was tantamount to an attack on religion.

9. Power of corporations protected. Although the personal life of ordinary citizens was under strict control, the ability of large corporations to operate in relative freedom was not compromised. The ruling elite saw the corporate structure as a way to not only ensure military production (in developed states), but also as an additional means of social control. Members of the economic elite were often pampered by the political elite to ensure a continued mutuality of interests, especially in the repression of “have-not” citizens.

10. Power of labor suppressed or eliminated. Since organized labor was seen as the one power center that could challenge the political hegemony of the ruling elite and its corporate allies, it was inevitably crushed or made powerless. The poor formed an underclass, viewed with suspicion or outright contempt. Under some regimes, being poor was considered akin to a vice.

11. Disdain and suppression of intellectuals and the arts. Intellectuals and the inherent freedom of ideas and expression associated with them were anathema to these regimes. Intellectual and academic freedom were considered subversive to national security and the patriotic ideal. Universities were tightly controlled; politically unreliable faculty harassed or eliminated. Unorthodox ideas or expressions of dissent were strongly attacked, silenced, or crushed. To these regimes, art and literature should serve the national interest or they had no right to exist.

12. Obsession with crime and punishment. Most of these regimes maintained Draconian systems of criminal justice with huge prison populations. The police were often glorified and had almost unchecked power, leading to rampant abuse. “ Normal ” and political crime were often merged into trumped-up criminal charges and sometimes used against political opponents of the regime. Fear, and hatred, of criminals or “traitors” was often promoted among the population as an excuse for more police power.

13. Rampant cronyism and corruption. Those in business circles and close to the power elite often used their position to enrich themselves. This corruption worked both ways; the power elite would receive financial gifts and property from the economic elite, who in turn would gain the benefit of government favoritism. Members of the power elite were in a position to obtain vast wealth from other sources as well: for example, by stealing national resources. With the national security apparatus under control and the media muzzled, this corruption was largely unconstrained and not well understood by the general population.

14. Fraudulent elections. Elections in the form of plebiscites or public opinion polls were usually bogus. When actual elections with candidates were held, they would usually be perverted by the power elite to get the desired result. Common methods included maintaining control of the election machinery, intimidating an disenfranchising opposition voters, destroying or disallowing legal votes, and, as a last resort, turning to a judiciary beholden to the power elite.

Each of the foregoing stages has been fully implemented. Couple this with the known conspiracy to over through the US Government by the JP Morgan banking interest during Roosevelt’s administration, and one can see that Democracy died many years ago.

The Ism of Destruction: Part Two

This series of essays relates to Capitalism, and how it has been a tool to promote the demise of Democracy.

Volume 2 :Capitalism and the Age of Opium

In the early 1800's, China , by its own design, was still largely cut off from trade with the outside world. All trade with Europe was channeled through one port, Canton . Even there, Europeans could only trade through specially designated Chinese agents known as co-hong. Several Chinese products, such as silk and porcelain, were in high demand in Europe, but the most popular trade item in the early 1800's was tea, consumption of which increased by a factor of 30 times between 1720 and 1830. Unfortunately, the tea trade led to a serious drain of silver from Britain. “The British East India Company”, desperate for something to offset this trade imbalance, found such a commodity in opium, which not only upset China's balance of trade, but the stability of its whole society. American merchants were enlisted to provide the opium in trade protected by the British crown. It was from here that the American founding families made their fortune.

William H. Russell (Skull &Bones; co-founder-Yale University, 1832) cousin Samuel Russell formally established Russell & Co. on January 1, 1824 for the purpose of acquiring opium and smuggling it into China . Russell & Co. merged with the number one US trader, the J. & T. H. Perkins "Boston Concern" in 1829. By the mid-1830s the opium trade had become "the largest commerce of its time in any single commodity, anywhere in the world."

Links between the drug trade, European colonial expansion, the creation of the global capitalist system and the creation of the modern state are closely intertwined. It is said that one would not exist without the other. It is possible to suggest a hypothesis, that mass consumption, as it exists in modern society, began with drug addiction. And, beyond that, addiction began with a drug as a commodity. Something was necessary to initiate the cycles of production, consumption and accumulation that we identify with capitalism. In the nineteenth century, Opium was the catalyst of the consumer market, the money economy and even of capitalist production itself.

So Capitalism, as an economic form, evolved from unlawful and debasing activity, and the wealth of capitalists instead of confiscation, became a tool of governance and control and therefore of political corruption.

Opium was the tool of the capitalist, first used against the peasants and the lower and middle classes in transforming them, and in so doing monetizing their lifestyles. Opium was able to generate thus create pools of capital to feed the institutions that accumulated and accommodated it: the banking and financial systems, the insurance systems and the transportation and information infrastructures. Those structures and that economy have, in large part, been inherited by the successor nations of that state of the world, and today it is not only opium, but cocaine, crack cocaine, marijuana, meth, and ecstasy, each drug has its recourse through the channels of government where it becomes the tool of capital and protected by administrations and their secret communities.

Opium smuggling didn’t just make money. At times, opium was money. Opium built empires and had a hand in financing much of the world’s infrastructure, the railroads, and steam lines, and all major industry and not only in America .

Drug trade tends to destabilized existing societies not merely because they destroy individual human beings, but more importantly, because they have the power to undercut the existing political economy. They create new forms of capital; and they redistribute wealth in an upward mobility.

It is for this reason that their will be a perpetual “War on Drugs” because the government itself is responsible for its importation, and distribution, in actuality drug use is a tax upon the poor and middle class of any nation, and the intelligence communities of each import and distribute it, and the benefits are channeled to that end. It is the same; there is no distinction between the creation of money, as a tax upon the people and the sale of drugs, the distinction relates only to whom the tax is paid. In the former it is the bank that receives the tax, and in the later it is the government agent.

Capitalism is inherently self disruptive of commerce, the reason being, that Capitalists are self serving. Their goal is not to advance society, but to enslave it, and it is all based on a single standard, Greed!

The Ism of Destruction

This series of essays relates to Capitalism, and how it has been a tool to promote the demise of Democracy. The theory is that Private Capitalism does not work within a system designed to promote the ends of justice, because Private Capitalization as the reader of these essays will discern, promotes injustice and a transition to an ulterior form of governance.

Volume 1 ~ An Introduction:

“Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. There was never a democracy that did not commit suicide.” — John Adams (Vice President under George Washington and Second President of the United States )

The reader and observer of democracy will feel sadness and despair at its passing, but the irony is, that it could not have been prevented.

America, as a nation, has passed that defining moment in its history and from where generations yet to come may question, how the greatest experiment of antiquity failed. The framers of our government, they will find, could not protect against the insentient appetite of capital greed.

America is truly the last republic, but it had a run of just over 200 years, while Rome the model of our government had over 450. The similarities leading each to its collapse are astounding:
(1) The Roman Republic was governed by a complex constitution, which centered on the principles of a separation of powers and checks and balances.
(2) The evolution of the constitution was heavily influenced by the struggle between the aristocracy, or the patricians, and other talented Romans who were not from famous families, the plebeians.
(3) Early in its history, the republic was controlled by an aristocracy of individuals who could trace their ancestry back to the early history of the kingdom. Over time, the laws that allowed these individuals to dominate the government were repealed, and the result was the emergence of a new aristocracy which depended on the structure of society, rather than the law, to maintain its dominance.
(4) Thus, only a revolution could overthrow this new aristocracy.
(5) The Republic collapsed under the weight of corruption.

The similarities are striking, what we have lost, in America, can not be measured in wealth as it transcends political and economic virtues and platitudes, expelling with it the interest of a “myth”, the immutable facade called liberty. We have lost that one defining character by which we, as a people, have been defined, our interests in Liberty and the principle of self government has been but a grand illusion. We have come to learn that the capitalists are the banks that control even the government of the United States and because of this control our form of governance had to be transitioned.

It was John Adams that said “Freedom can never be restored. Liberty , once lost, is lost forever.” Yet in America , we shared not liberty but its illusion, fashioned from the evolvement of the European banking interests, and called capitalism. Yet by any other name, capitalism is still fascism, because fascism is the ultimate evolution of capitalism.

Remarkably, we as a people have allowed our nation to embark on that path, that subway from which there is no exit, and from where there is no return! There is no light at the end, only more darkness, a darkness that has enshrined us. It is as our wealth has been manipulated by that shadow, which now stands fading in the light that has caused us to reminisce. Too late we stand in the doorway of ourselves and look frenetically into that blackness.

We as both a people and a nation have lost that which we were, that for which we were intended, a greatness above all, and a shining example to humanity. It was not through innocence, but insolence of a false sense of knowledge that we were deceived. We believed in a system that advanced its own interests above ours, and by whose very virtues, and vanity we have been enslaved, that system known and devised to all as capitalism, the means to provide sustenance for labor took as it always intended, and dishonored us. It now transcends the human experience by altering our form of governance.

What is capitalism, but control of a specific commodity or market, and the means by which to control that commodity and to create that market, but eviscerated through the control of government, our government.

The theory, Capitalism, is nothing more than that by which those at the top multiply their wealth, at the expense of labor. Yet there are no Criteria by which capital is to multiply and as that is true, there are instances where capital has multiplied through illegal and corrupt practices, and continues there today.

Capital is more so advanced through corruption, than by any other means, through deception, bribes, and illegal acts, through protective legislation, and wars, capitalism then, as it survives through these channels is a false theory of economic enterprise, corrupting governments as it corrupts individuals who serve at their will.

The Enslavement of Mankind

Capitalist have made their wealth from the suffering of humanity. The early capitalists: The English Corporation instrumental in populating the New World was the “Royal African Company”. Chartered in 1672, this company proceeded to take a significant part in the slave trade. For the profit of “shareholders”, it brought to the western hemisphere masses of men and women who had been taken from Africa against their will. Eventually, many thousands of white merchants and seamen on both sides of the Atlantic participated in this unjust commerce, including several hundred from Massachusetts and Rhode Island and very prominent American families. The total number of Africans transported to the New World was about 10 million. Their destination was usually Brazil or one of the Caribbean sugar islands, but some 596,000, or about one of every 17, went to areas that became part of the United States .

The advent of capitalism and its values represented a “reversal of a millennial moral consensus” Capitalism has superseded democracy, encouraged corruption and greed, and failed our nation.

The failure of our government is the outgrowth of a system prone to self-destruct.
