Re-Branding Dissent - The Quiet Destruction Of Democracy
I am one of those who thinks that democracy is being destroyed. I know its fashionable to play cynical one-upmanship and say – ‘we’ve never had democracy’, or, ‘it was destroyed long ago’, but that game aside, I think its worth actually thinking about how, many forms of democratic expression, effective dissent and peaceful self-determination are being buried.
In “The Next Crisis” I argued that the Global Over-Class have decided that Democracy is a threat to their wealth and power and have more than likely given some thought to how best to neuter it while appearing to do no such thing. I suggested they would wish to keep the outward form of democracy, so as to keep us reassured and entertained, but remove any substance from it, leaving us with an empty but colourful stage show.
In part two of the series, I offered a list of the various ways this could be done (a sort of manifesto for the Over Class or, as I have called them elsewhere, The Disloyal and noted how many of those things were clearly already underway.
For example item three of the manifesto said,
3) professionalized Governance. Democracy can be and must be neutered, and an effective way of doing this is to insist that amateur, elected officials MUST take the advice of professional (read corporate) advisors. Expand current law to enforce this.
If this seems monstrous now, their argument, I suspect, will be that in an increasingly crowded, interconnected and globalised world we can no longer leave critically important decisions in the hands of the uneducated, in-expert and amateur. We must, of course, still be free to choose but must, from now on, be helped to choose ‘wisely’. And how can we choose wisely if we aren’t given wise choices to choose from? Oh, the Orwellian beauty of it! No prizes for guessing who will decide what is and what is not wise.
We cannot any longer allow you to choose unwisely! There is so much at stake and so much you and your representatives simply do not fully understand.
You only need think how much legislation is already written by these ‘advisors’ and how many ‘experts’ are routinely seconded from corporations in order to ‘help’ the government departments regulate those same corporations to appreciate how far towards this we have already come. Two examples of ‘expert advice’ spring readily to mind. Back in May 2014 Citi drafted, word for word, many of the ‘amendments’ to the Frank Dodd financial regulation law. While professional experts from J PM Morgan did the same for the new derivatives trading law which puts the US tax payer back on the hook for any really serious losses.
Choose wisely
‘Choose wisely’ is a good first step in neutering democracy. It is easy to sell, appears wise, benevolent even, and who could advocate the opposite? But being admonished to ‘choose wisely’ is quite different to being forced to do so by having ‘experts’ pre-choose your range of choices for you and having your representatives forced to follow the pre-narrowed ‘wise’ choice or choices handed to them by paid-for lobbyists and seconded experts. However I think the Over Class knows ‘Choose wisely’ and Professionalized Governance are not going to be enough on their own – given the scale of unpleasantness which will have to be imposed and maintained on voters if the current structures of power and privilege are to be maintained.
‘Choose wisely’ and Professionalized Governance are an efficient and well camouflaged way to stop radical democratic ideas getting traction in Parliament or Congress or ever making it in to law. But, they leave unaddressed the more urgent task of how to properly neuter the people at source – in their own minds. How much better and stable it would be, for the Over Class, if the people voluntarily shied away from dissenting opinions rather than having to corral such opinions once they are voiced and people start voting for them.
I began to look at how this second front in the war on democracy might be fought, in part three. I suggested that what you and I might call public engagement would be re-branded as ill-informed ‘populism’. And wouldn’t you know it, Prime Minister David Cameron speaking – or should I say condescending – in the House of Commons on 17.11.15 about opposition to the TTIP trade agreement, said,
…when you [Members of Parliament] get that barrage of emails – people sometimes have signed up without fully understanding every part of what they’ve been asked to sign – people want to spread some fear about this thing, and we have a role, I think, of trying to explain properly why these things are good for our country.
Et voila! A wonderful early example. This is the start of the re-branding of political dissent.
But wait , as the old advertizing saying goes, there’s more!
From ‘Professionalize Democracy’ to ‘Demonize Dissent’
The key problem for the Over Class is that no matter how much they might like to, they cannot just come out and say dissent – AKA radically different opinion – is a bad thing. Being able to hold a dissenting opinion, even a radically dissenting opinion, is, after all, the core of democratic freedom.
So I think the Over Class’ task is two-fold. First, create conditions which will make people want to stifle dissent; other people’s first then even their own – or at least start to see a dark and threatening side to it – and then give them a whole new vocabulary of catchy new phrases and ideas with which to express their new-found caution about dissent and dissenters. Seen this way it is clear that this re-branding of dissent is a psychological/marketing/propaganda problem.
Of course it is relatively trivial to get people to accept that while many kinds of dissent are acceptable, some kinds just aren’t because, for example, they’re felt to be dangerous. We already accept that certain kinds of ‘extremist’ dissent is dangerous and unacceptable. And while some are uneasy, sensing how the term ‘extremist’ could be softened and inflated to accommodate everyone from animal rights activists, to – oh I don’t know…how about ‘militant peace activists’, or those who oppose austerity, people are just about willing to be bullied and frightened into accepting this ‘extremist’ curtailment of democracy.
‘Extremists’ and ‘Extremism’ have been the millennial threat-du-jour and have done wonders for justifying any and all actions claimed to be essential for ‘protecting national security’. No one wants to be accused of supporting ‘extremists.’ In America, Extremism is the new Communism. The rhetoric and paranoia around the ‘threat from Extremism’ in America and in Europe looks and sounds, to me at least, very similar to McCarthyism. In the UK another new Bill will soon give the British security services and police yet more powers to stop travel, cancel passports and even ban people from talking at universities.
But the “extremist’ narrative is not going to do what needs to be done. The problem is the terms currently used to label people as dangerous are less than perfect for demonizing the dissent that worries our leaders most: those to do with economics, finance and globalisation and the environment. ‘Extremism’ and ‘extremist’ are, perversely, just too …well, extreme. Talking about National Security, is very effective in its sphere, but it is just too specifically military to be very useful when it comes to undermining most peaceful, domestic, democratic dissent. What the ‘extremism’ narrative has done, however, is get people used to the idea that there can and should be limits to democratic dissent.
What I think the Over Class now need is a new label for the mind-set of dissenters and their dissent which can be applied to those who oppose the ‘necessary welfare and economic reforms’, ‘essential austerity cut backs’, ‘misunderstood’ trade agreements and environmental problems. They need a label for a mind-set which they will readily admit isn’t ‘extremist’ but which they can argue ‘can lead to extremism’; much as people used to talk about marijuana being the gateway drug leading inevitably to harder drugs.
What will that label be? Well I think the clue is there in the drive to ‘professionalize’ governance. ‘Professional’ is already a shorthand for the claim that someone or something is rational, balanced and ‘evidence based’. The term ‘Professional’, all on its own, already implies that those opposed to the ‘professional’ opinion/plan, are probably slightly ‘irrational’ and quite likely to be advocating actions and opinions that are without a firm base in scientific evidence. After all if that were not the case the professionals would have advocated it themselves.
Of course this brings us wonderfully back to the questions of who claims to have the authority and expertise to say what is and isn’t good solid rational and evidence-based. We are already mired in such arguments.
The threat from the Irrational
I suggest the new label will be ‘Irrational’. “He’s irrational!” “You’re being irrational.” “That’s irrational.” Irrational is already a term of abuse. What’s needed is to suggest that being irrational can be much more than a personal intellectual short-coming. That in fact, people who support irrational causes, and have irrational beliefs – who are …irrational, can be a dangerous threat when they organise their irrational beliefs into a political cause. Because, the argument will go, irrational fears can be used by those who have ulterior motives to prey upon the ordinary but unwary citizen, by creating irrational fears and then offering a seductive but irrational solutions.
And of course what will be held up as acceptable rational beliefs will be generally those which the Over Class, their media outlets, pundits and paid for political lick-spittles say are rational.
In this new narrative of demonizing dissent,
“It is not what you chose to believe – you are free to believe what you want – but HOW you believe it.
Believe it rationally, based on evidence and with regard for how your belief affects the well-being and security of those around you and there is no problem.
But choose to believe irrationally and without regard for how your irrational belief may harm others and you are an Irrationalist. “
This leaves intact your right to believe what you want but adds a subtle but insidious ‘responsibility test.’
If I’m right then we will soon see a broader new narrative built around the idea that Irrationality and an irresponsible disregard for the well-being of others, together, pose a grave threat to Stability and Safety. These four notions, Irrationality, Irresponsibility, Stability and Safety will form the central mechanism for re-branding dissent. ‘Safety’ people will recognise from its National Security guise. But by pairing it with ideas of Stability it helps bridge the gap between national security (safety) and national economic security (stability). Security becomes more than simply physical safety and is expanded to include economic stability.
And the enemy of both, of course, is the Irrational Dissenter. Being irrational is, we will be told, particularly dangerous when it is paired with fervent claims that we are in danger and we should all act now to fend off the danger. Such people will be likened to idiots who shout ‘fire’ in a crowded theatre.
A new mental condition could be coined for them – something along the lines of Attention Seeking Disorder – people who get a perverse pleasure simply from dissenting. How easy it would be to cast doubt on someone’s dissent if you suggest it is not about caring for others but actually a disorder of the ego. A desire for notoriety above all else with total disregard for what effect they might have on the stability and safety of those round them.
Troublesome dissent could be rebranded as a thoughtless and selfish advocating of something knowing it will cause widespread harm to others but not caring.
Extremism is a problem out there on the fringes of society – Irrationalism – The paranoid fear of imagined dangers and those who promote such fears – is the enemy within. They are the sinister fringe who constantly look to radicalize the inexpert.
So let us all recite the liturgy our leaders would have us believe, that in the 21st century –
- Democracy is the freedom to choose wisely.
- In a globalized, inter-dependant world we cannot afford to choose irrationally or disastrously.
- It is not what you believe but how you believe it.
- Believe things rationally, based on evidence, with regard to how your beliefs affect those around you.
- If you know someone who doesn’t, they may be irrational and suffering from a mental disorder in which the personal notoriety of being contrarian matters more to them than any harm they might do to the safety and stability we all depend upon.

Paul Ryan??! I hope that was sarcasicm. Ryan is as establishement as they come.
"Just shutup! You can't say that! Can I get some muscle over here?"
Fuck democracy. Democracy is 51 people voting to hang the other 49 people and take their stuff.
Democracy is Illegitimate
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner.
Democracy is not freedom, morality, or rule of law.
Democracy seems better than it actually is because it is new and because it is known to have followed bad monarchies or theocracies, and thus those new democracies consisted of people who had learned the evils of government (i.e. taxation, inflation, regulation, conformism, censorship, double standards, cronyism, false flags, gun confiscation, democide, genocide, slavery). What most people don't know is that those same things can also happen under the newer concept of democracy too once the culture who formed the democracy no longer understands why it revolted.
Democracy seems better than it actually is in comparison to other forms of government because it has primarily existed in the age of radio, then television, and now the Internet and digital cameras. Therefore the evil forces at work in all governments have naturally been forced to evolve more slowly, be more secretive, hide behind more layers of front men, and adopt far better PR mechanisms – all to stand up to greater scrutiny.
Democracy seems better than it actually is because it was created and evolved at a time when the people owned guns, and thus governments had to be more respectful of the people.
Democracy seems better than it actually is because it was usually created at the same time as a constitution or a bill of rights that captured the lessons learned by the generation who revolted.
Although democracy is not inherently good, it is not as inherently evil as less democratic forms of government because it must please a larger segment of the population.
Therefore, government has improved a only a little because of democracy; whereas, government has mostly improved because of armed citizenry, revolutions, radio, TV, Internet, digital cameras, constitutions that incorporate lessons learned by those who revolted, and because those lessons learned limited government to those actions that pleased a larger percentage of the people, which has slowed the propagation of evil.
Unfortunately, that is still not good enough or else we would not have the problems we have today. In fact many of the problems we have today are the unintended consequences of past government action. One cannot overemphasize that democracy can still be very evil. Consider Obama's DHS and consider What is Wrong with the People.
The path forward is clear. Why not limit government to those actions that please an even larger percentage of the people?
The problem is that the US was NEVER MEANT TO BE A DEMOCRACY. To the Founding Fathers, democracy was the worst form government so they created a Constitutional Republic. Take it away, Red:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Qszo8u1m9ZQ
Democracy is a barbarous relic.
There are fewer and fewer horses pulling the wagon. The ones that are still pulling are looking behind them and going, why the fuck should I pull when I could sit in the wagon with the rest of the horses. Pretty soon the wagon stops moving. That's democracy in a nutshell.

125 MIL Americans owning 350 MIL guns will refuse being branded. For your part in this Mr. O'linsky, along with the backing of your Lynch mob next week, what are the prospects for your identity politics alchemy restoring the essence of our lost democracy?
I agree. but the numbers don't matter until the guns come out and are used. Until then, they will continue to destroy the Constitution.
The guns don't matter anymore. They mattered 200 years ago when citizens carried armaments similar to that carried by military forces. These days? I don't care what you have for numbers. Untrained freedom fighters with hunting rifles ain't gonna do jack shit against modern military hardware. Unless the armed forces either side with the revolution or at least stand down (and history says it won't happen that way) your revolution is doomed to failure.
Who says we have hunting rifles?
;-)
Hmm. A bunch of nobodies in Afghanistan, with hand made rifles and essentially zero heavy weaponry, managed to defeat the US military.
How you ask? They were a guerilla force with the support of the general population. A regular army cannot win under these circumstances unless it is willing to wage war on a genocidal level.
Over there you have people with a certain skill set who have been made tough as rocks by Western foreign policy and the environment in which they live. Not so here.
As for the support of the populace forget it. You won't get that. Even if we ignore how ideology polarized the US is, an armed revolution would badly disrupt commerce which for most Americans means no food. God luck getting widespread support for that shit.
No ones saying support from the brain dead sheeple or the statist patronage system that gives them "Hope" is even wanted or needed.
You will lose without that support.
We shall see how much trust, hope & faith the members of this particular patronage system have in it as it collapses, as a loss or victory in one singular battle against oppression means very little to me anyways.
Only the end result.
Its...for the cheeelrin after all ;-)
And the right answer is 'sabotage', no need to hurt anyone, we can take the federal gov down any time we wish.
The day some national organization says "airlines stop flying 1st of the month",the airlines will stop flying 1st of the month and the gov will resign tne 2nd.
Unless the armed forces either side with the revolution or at least stand down
The military does get a choice to make, revolt against the masters or kill your own population. Is no ifs, ands or buts, etc. Most tyrants in history execute their military leaders to prevent exactly this kind of revolt.
Happens in all conflicts if those fighting get a conscience and they will have to live with their nightmares and the fear of retribution forever scarring them. Their actions will be seen to have only enslaved their people not upholding freedom and a tool to enforce horrors upon people.
Not exactly the thing they signed up for eh? But hey they took the bankster shilling everything esle was for the love of what they were doing.
Then why are we is our military having such a hard time taking control of things?
As powerful as they are, they are hardly invincible. If they were, we'd be in control of the whole world.
Maybe it's us Americans...have we truly become such pussies that we concede the battles before they even start? When I read posts like this, I have to wonder.
give me control of the money system and i care not ...
If only the elites would abolish democracy, instead of using it to increase their own power at the expense of productive citizens. I'm sick of welfare parasites using the ballot box to vote themselves more benefits. Get a fucking job or we'll put you in a tent out in the desert and feed you boiled potatoes and meat by-products.
1) take away the benefits and people just starve. There are not and never again will be enough jobs to go around... especially jobs you can survive on. In the rural area I live in I know lots of people on welfare. Almost all of them HAVE JOBS.
Besides... people sucking off the system is a good thing. They're draining the beast of some of its life force. It's one of our very few options for fighting back.
If there aren't enough jobs to go around, why do so many Mexicans have them? If Americans needed jobs to survive, they'd show up in large numbers at work sites and tell the Mexicans to get lost.
Then the pigs come haul their asses to jail. You don't really think our washed out fucked up population is gonna take a stand, do you?
Americans will get off their lazy asses when the alternative is not eating. And if the police side with Mexicans over Americans, either you crossed the border or it crossed you!
Do you mean like citizens united being used to get parasites what they want...more benefits like the 26 trillion (Wall Street on Parade's number) they got from the good people to keep their kelptocracy afloat...Exxon gets more each and every year from the people than all the "welfare" programs put together so wake the fuck up you stupid ideologically blind assholes
I just left my local gun shop. There was a guy there who is connected, supposedly with a friend in the DOJ. He was discussing a DOJ memo saying that the new bullet points for gun control go something like this: buy up the ammo to create shortages. There will be a limit on how many guns can be stored in one location, IRS will become involved with it all somehow, to include spot inspections. Storage of weapons will be highly regulated, but in an undiscussed manner. There was more, but I didn't get to hear it. Rumor, BS? Maybe, but I don't think so. Heads up guys.
What a great idea Obama might have there. Let everyone have all the guns and ammo they want, but make them store it in "safe" Government "locations".
With the excveption of .22 rimfire ammo is plentiful again.
Both my local Walmarts have full display cases. Plus the prices have dropped back down -
9MM under $10 / 50; .45 ACP $15 / 50
They will need universal gun registration to enforce any limit on the number of guns - that is not going to happen anytime soon.
Nothing against you - so don't take it in a bad way
Stuff you hear at a local gun shop is 99% BS and the other 1% is hogwash.
My first question to his telling me these things was to ask if he thought it might be propaganda, or misinformation...he didn't think so, and so far he's been a serious and consistant person. I tend to give him points for not being a flake. It may all be wrong, I merely present it for your consideration.

The best thing we can do is revolt against all this excess scoring that tied to our ass. Look around, quantitated madness for things that are not true. Why even get out of bed in the morning as we as US consumers are tied down with so much "risk", much fabricated that sure we end up being the bad algos walking around out there. I call it "Excess Scoring" and it's all done for the sake of selling data. Remember bad data gets the same price as good data as long they can sell it for profit.

"If the “future of mankind” would be socialist, as Marx certainly believed, then it makes sense that Jews, a supposedly capitalist people, see no place for themselves in the socialist future. Jewishness/capitalism is a stage in a grander historical development, a “time” that will be superseded in a linear process of historical development.
Marx advances from this to a series of assertions about individualism, selfishness and egoism: traits he associates with both Jews and capitalists. Private property and the bourgeois social order, for instance, is defined by egoism: “None of the supposed rights of man” offered by bourgeois capitalism, “go beyond the egoistic man, man as he is, as a member of civil society; that is, an individual separated from the community, withdrawn into himself, wholly preoccupied with his private interest and acting in accordance with his private caprice.” Jewishness is defined in similar terms of private interest, selfishness and egoism: “What is the profane basis of Judaism? Practical need, self-interest. What is the worldly cult of the Jews? Huckstering. What is his worldly god? Money.”
For Marx, the selfish spirit of capitalism is an essentially Jewish spirit, since he sees both as built on egoism, individualism, and a disdain for universal emancipation. This leads Marx to his notorious claim that “It is from its own entrails that civil society ceaselessly engenders the Jew”. In other words, Capitalism is productive of nothing but excrement and ceaselessly produces and reproduces an execrable existence. And so, despite his linear vision of historical development, Marx ultimately resorts to a circular vision of Jewishness as proto-capitalism and Christianity/Europe as the perfected form of capitalism, and thus the fuller expression of the Jewish/capitalist spirit: “Christianity issued from Judaism. It has now been re-absorbed into Judaism.”

The next term based on historical context are 'Collaberators'. Forming groups to defend yourself from robbery will mean you are collaborating to overthrow the government. That inst far off and after that that the government cant pay its bills (in real terms) and it collapses. How many people are killed off or die because of eliminated subsidy is the question. One hedges for a reason. That includes government personell and pensioneers in the analysis when discussing subsidies. In an ever shrinking pie the fight for budgets is a form of civil war. Hopefully, it doesnt spread to street level.
pretty soon freedom will be shown to mean you have nothing left to lose. props to pearl.

I did NOT like the way that article started, with its insulting and condescending:
The American democratic republic and its rule of law was destroyed long ago! Step by step, the international bankers recaptured control over the American monetary system. WHEN "We the People" lost control over the public money supply, THEN democracy was destroyed. Although there were some historical reversals (most notably under President Andrew Jackson in the 1830s), for more than a Century, after the milestone of the Federal Reserve Board and the Income Tax, in 1913, everything since then has merely been the rigor mortis of an already dead democracy.
Since then, Americans, and most of the rest of the world, particularly all NATO countries, have become increasingly bankster controlled governments, which have more and more become Wonderland Matrix Bizarro Worlds, where everything appears to be absurdly backwards, so that all the labels that the bankster controlled government threaten to apply to others actually apply most of all to those banksters, and the political puppets that they control, as well as enough of the masses of muppets that vote for those puppets.
Hence, the Over Class is the greatest of all possible irrational threats, since that Over Class have become increasingly psychotic psychopaths. Nobody else has a more extremist agenda than them. Their "professional government" is operated by the best available professional hypocrites.
The basic social facts, regarding how civilization actually developed:
The oldest and best developed form of social science and social engineering was warfare. Economics developed inside the context of warfare. Since successful warfare was based upon backing up deceits with destruction, successful finance became based upon enforcing frauds. The only things that actually exist are the dynamic equilibria between different systems of organized lies operating robberies. The currently established systems, namely bankster controlled governments, are EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL at what those were actually designed to do, in the sense that the banksters' frauds are SYMBOLIC ROBBERIES, which have transferred trillions upon trillions of the tokens of wealth and claims over ownership from the many to the few.
The social FACTS that a tiny minority own more than the vast majority demonstrates that "economics" IS "scientific." However, economics is scientific social engineering in the same ways as warfare was scientific social engineering. The successfulness of being the victors through warfare became the successfulness of being the victors in economics. That the social pyramid systems have gotten bigger and BIGGER, while also getting steeper and STEEPER, are due to economics being systems of organized lies operating robberies, which were being done better and BETTER, from the point of view of those who were the best at operating those systems.
Those who judge economic theories on the superficial basis of what the professional hypocrites promoting those theories are asserting their theories are supposed to do tend to deliberately ignore what those theories actually do! There is ONLY ONE theory that corresponds to all the social facts, and that is civilization operates according to the principles and methods of organized crime. Furthermore, after one understands that enough, one will discover how and why that is necessarily the case, since the monetary systems are backed up by the murder systems, and must necessarily be so.
Theories of economics that do not place themselves inside the context of the history of warfare are bullshit! However, the most socially successful theories of economics deliberately do NOT do that, because of the intense paradoxes driven by the history of successful warfare based on backing up deceits with destruction becoming the history of successful finance based on enforcing frauds.
Economics ONLY becomes more intelligible after one takes the time to understand the vicious spirals of POLITICAL FUNDING ENFORCING FRAUDS, enabling the development of bankster controlled governments. Those systems achieve what they were designed to achieve, namely the runaway triumphant frauds as symbolic robberies. Since those systems so spectacularly achieve their real goals, those systems deserve to be respected as effective forms of social science and social engineering, albeit based upon being able to operate integrated systems of legalized lies, backed by legalized violence, which require the vast majority of the people being symbolically robbed by the banksters' legalized frauds do not understand that, and do not want to understand that.
MILITARISM IS THE IDEOLOGY OF THE MURDER SYSTEM, AS THE MOST EXTREME FORM OF ECONOMICS, WHICH IS ACTUALLY THE IDEOLOGY OF THE ROBBERY SYSTEM, WHICH HAS DEVELOPED TO PRIMARILY MANIFEST AS THE BANKSTERS' SYMBOLIC ROBBERIES.
Bankster controlled governments have become extremely successful forms of organized lies operating robberies, in the sense that those doing that have become almost unimaginably more wealthy, in the sense of more politically powerful. The basic problems with respect to most people not understanding that, and not wanting to understand that, are that they have become way too brainwashed to believe in bullshit about "economics." Therefore, they tend to take for granted thinking about everything in the most absurdly backward ways possible. Indeed, it is practically impossible to exaggerate the degree to which almost everyone thinks about "economics" in the most bullshit-based ways possible, which is how and why so many of them end up falsely concluding that economics is somehow not scientific, when economics is actually fantastically successful social engineering.
The established sociopolitical systems were quite paradoxically driven by natural selection pressures through the history of successful warfare based on backing up deceits with destruction, morphing to become successful finance based on enforcing frauds, to become systems of artificial selection which deliberately ignore and/or misunderstand natural evolutionary ecologies, due to those sociopolitical systems NOT wanting to admit and address what they are really doing, since their social successfulness has depended upon a long history of becoming as dishonest as possible about doing that, while those lies were backed by violence, so that those bullshit social stories became the biggest bullies' bullshit, which dominates all sociopolitical systems, and therefore, all of those systems continue being operated by the best available professional hypocrites.
THE VICIOUS SPIRALS OF POLITICAL FUNDING ENFORCING FRAUDS GO AROUND AND AROUND AND AROUND, GETTING WORSE, FASTER! Human beings operate their artificial selection systems in the most deliberately dishonest ways possible, and that applies to BOTH the core groups of organized crime (currently the bankster controlled governments) AND the various layers of controlled opposition groups that surround that core of organized crime.
The Over Class are operating an increasingly oxymoronic SCIENTIFIC DICTATORSHIP. A more genuinely scientific society, contrary to an oxymoronic scientific dictatorship, would better understand the relationships of artificial selection systems inside natural selection systems. However, the currently existing kinds of scientific dictatorship continue to be as deliberately unscientific about themselves as possible, since their social successfulness depends upon the vast majority of people not understanding themselves any better, and moreover, feeling like they do not want to understand themselves any better. For all those reasons, our current kinds of technological civilization is rushing toward self-destruction, (to the degree that it seems practically pointless to bother to try to explain that to people who do not want to understand that!)
In order for technological civilization to survive, Neolithic Civilization must become Translithic Civilization, which requires that the currently existing, oxymoronic scientific dictatorship be transformed into being a genuinely more scientific society, that uses more information, enabling higher consciousness, in order to operate its death control systems. The artificial selection systems should become better reconciled with the natural selection systems. The human evolutionary ecologies ought to be better done, within a more scientific society. However, the first and foremost developments of the actually existing artificial selection systems were actually driven by the principles and methods of organized crime, operating on larger and larger scales, pumped up and UP by progress in physical science, while political science continued to be so totally dominated by the biggest bullies' bullshit world views, that the philosophy of science was more forced to compromise with the biggest bullies' bullshit, rather than the progress in physical science was able to change the degree of sociopolitical domination done by the best available professional hypocrites, operating through their relative social successfulness based upon backing up lies with violence, gradually becoming the currently existing systems of legalized lies, backed by legalized violence.
The deeper reasons for how and why militarism is the supreme ideology should be better understood and embraced. AGAIN & AGAIN, natural selection pressures drove the development of artificial selection systems to become deceits backed by destruction, then the enforcement of frauds, all of which were socially successful through those core groups of organized crime, operating on larger and LARGER scales, being able to effectively control the layers of bogus "opposition" groups that surrounded that core of organized crime. Hence, we continue, more and MORE, to live in Wonderland Matrix Bizarro Worlds, where everything is publicly presented in the most absurdly backward ways possible, and that includes the bogus "solutions" to those problems, which continue to operate inside of the dualities of false fundamental dichotomies and the related impossible ideals. Instead of developing better death control systems, based upon unitary mechanisms, which are the ONLY genuine solutions to the existing problems, we continue to be stuck in the deepening ruts of the actually existing systems operating the actual combined money/murder systems, based upon the maximum possible deceits and frauds.
Therefore, the world of POLITICAL ECONOMY tends to continue get away with deliberately ignoring the environmental ecologies as much as possible. That the ONLY connections between human laws and natural laws are the abilities to back up lies with violence tends to be deliberately ignored, denied, misunderstood and misrepresented, as much as possible, by the sociopolitical systems actually doing that. Since that violence never stops those lies from still being false, but nevertheless, those frauds are effectively enforced, civilization as a whole becomes increasingly psychotic.
That situation is trillions of times worse now than it ever was before in human history. All of the established systems were built on the basis of presuming endless exponential growth, which could strip-mine the natural resources of a fresh planet, using the newly developed technologies generated by the industrial revolutions. "ECONOMIC GROWTH" IS THE GOAL, which never comes within light years of the need for series of intellectual scientific revolutions and profound paradigm shifts regarding the limits to growth, or how to cope with the strip-mining of the planet's natural resources reaching those limits in the form of diminishing returns, which limits end up having paradoxically counter-intuitive results, since those are being channeled through fundamentally fraudulent financial accounting systems.
Meanwhile, that situation makes it appear to now be politically impossible to stop VICIOUS SPIRALS OF POLITICAL FUNDING ENFORCING FRAUDS automatically getting worse, faster ... so that the most probable futures are psychotic breakdowns, crazy collapses into chaos, and severe series of social storms blowing through, due to the natural selection pressures building up and UP inside artificial selection systems which adamantly refuse to admit and address those issues in any other ways than even bigger lies, backed by more violence, despite that having become globalized electronic frauds, backed by the threat of force from atomic bombs!
That situation, of electronic monkey money frauds, backed by the threat of force from apes with atomic bombs, was originally made and maintained by the Over Class. However, they no longer can fully understand nor control those systems. The Over Class are not rightly thought of as the "elite" because the only things that they were good at were backing up lies with violence, which only required them to be more competent at doing that than those they previously were able to control.
I prefer to call the Over Class the ruling classes. However, collectively, human beings have lost control over systems of electronic frauds backed by atomic bombs. While most people like to still think that the world is the same now as when it was paper frauds backed by gunpowder weapons, actually, since electronic frauds backed by atomic bombs are trillions of times GREATER, that world is radically different. But nevertheless, since the first generation that was born into that developing situation is still alive today, almost everyone continues to think in ridiculously old-fashioned ways.
One can not fully imagine the degree to which the ruling classes have becoming increasingly psychotic psychopaths, while the matching developments have been the degree to which those ruled over have become impotent, incompetent political idiots. Democracy and the rule of law DIED to the degree that the people lost control over the public money supplies, while the international bankers gained that control. Collectively, the Over Class is a group of trillionaire mass murderers. Since their control over the public "money" supplies has been about 99% achieved already, "democracy and the rule of law" is already about 99% DEAD.
It is politically impossible to have any rational public debates based upon evidence and logical arguments! Since all of the established sociopolitical systems are actually based upon public governments enforcing frauds by private banks, all of those sociopolitical systems are dominated by the best available professional hypocrites, whose most well developed skills are to deliberately ignore and remain willfully blind toward the basic social facts, which bullshit they can continue to get away with spouting because those frauds are enforced, despite that enforcing frauds never stops those frauds from still being false!
"Believe things rationally, based on evidence," and one will rightly believe that there are bankster controlled governments, while the most successful politicians are their puppets, who are voted for by enough of the masses of muppets.
"Believe things rationally, based on evidence," and one may believe that there is no reasonable hope for the finite future. Civilization has become terminally sick and insane. Since there are no politically possible ways to stop the vicious spirals of POLITICAL FUNDING ENFORCING FRAUDS, thus, those will continue to automatically get worse, faster.
"Believe things rationally, based on evidence," and one might believe that social pyramid systems operating through an Over Class controlling those they rule over through systems of legalized lies, backed by legalized violence, pumped up and UP by technologies which have become trillions of times more capable and powerful than ever before in human history, are going to destroy themselves.
