Diogenes and Plato — Paul Ollswang
Posted on April 20, 2012 by Biblioklept
(Read Paul Ollswang’s fantastic comic Cynicism here)
Federalists
Evolved into Whigs in the Jackson years, then Republicans in 1854
HAMILTON: Had a noted business-financial bias; believed in original sin—the natural depravity of human beings, therefore strong controls called for; he had authoritarian inclinations and an entrepreneurial spirit.
(Democratic) Republicans
Evolved into the Democratic Party under Jackson in 1828.
JEFFERSON: He had an agricultural bias; he also believed in human perfectibility and was wedded to ideas of reason and science; he therefore mistrusted government because of his belief in human goodness.
“Who seeks for better of thee, sauce his palate
With thy most operant poison! What is here?
Gold? yellow, glittering, precious gold? No, gods,
I am no idle votarist: roots, you clear heavens!
Thus much of this will make black white, foul fair,
Wrong right, base noble, old young, coward valiant.
Ha, you gods! why this? what this, you gods? Why, this
Will lug your priests and servants from your sides,
Pluck stout men’s pillows from below their heads:
This yellow slave
Will knit and break religions, bless the accursed,
Make the hoar leprosy adored, place thieves
And give them title, knee and approbation
With senators on the bench: this is it
That makes the wappen’d widow wed again;”

“A beastly ambition, which the gods grant thee t’

suspect thee, when peradventure thou wert accused by
the ass: if thou wert the ass, thy dulness would
torment thee, and still thou livedst but as a

make thine own self the conquest of thy fury: wert
thou a bear, thou wouldst be killed by the horse:
wert thou a horse, thou wouldst be seized by the

Unconditional Election
Unconditional Election is the doctrine which states that God chose those whom he was pleased to bring to a knowledge of himself, not based upon any merit shown by the object of his grace and not based upon his looking forward to discover who would “accept” the offer of the gospel. God has elected, based solely upon the counsel of his own will, some for glory and others for damnation (Romans 9:15,21). He has done this act before the foundations of the world (Ephesians 1:4-8). This doctrine does not rule out, however, man’s responsibility to believe in the redeeming work of God the Son (John 3:16-18). Scripture presents a tension between God’s sovereignty in salvation, and man’s responsibility to believe which it does not try to resolve. Both are true — to deny man’s responsibility is to affirm an unbiblical hyper-calvinism; to deny God’s sovereignty is to affirm an unbiblical Arminianism. The elect are saved unto good works (Ephesians 2:10). Thus, though good works will never bridge the gulf between man and God that was formed in the Fall, good works are a result of God’s saving grace. This is what Peter means when he admonishes the Christian reader to make his “calling” and “election” sure (2 Peter 1:10). Bearing the fruit of good works is an indication that God has sown seeds of grace in fertile soil.

Professor Bruce Charlton’s Considers Nationalism in the Face of PC, the Catechism of Neo-Liberalism. Prof Charlton couches things in terms of Left and Right, Where there is no left or right just the There is No Alternative Centre Ground which engenders extremist ideology and zealotry that could only be dreamt of by past demagoguery´s perhaps there will be an awakening.
The Question according to The Good Prof.
Could resurgent nationalism save Western civilization from PC?
After secularization eroded religious cohesion in modernizing societies (from the 1700s), there was an era of secular nationalism in developed countries.And some opponents of PC see resurgent secular nationalism as an antidote to the cultural decline caused by political correctness.Accepting that political correctness is cultural suicide, and leaving aside the question of whether or not it would be beneficial, is it likely that resurgent secular nationalism can unify the Right and could reverse the cultural suicide of PC?*Nationalism is indeed a powerful unifier and motivator – perhaps the most powerful form of secularcohesion; because nationalism has potential to bring together all classes, both sexes, young and old, sometimes even several ethnicities and religions.*But a secular nationalism would nowadays have a strongly different character from most secular nationalisms of the past.A modern nationalism might perhaps save the nation (probably at the cost of fracturing it into smaller nations) – but it would not save the national culture.Furthermore, secular nationalisms of the past seem to have had little staying power – fading within only two or three generations.So nationalism would be – at best – a band-aid. But is it even that?
Shelly should really have the last word.
‘And that slaughter to the Nation
Shall steam up like inspiration,
Eloquent, oracular ;
A volcano heard afar.
‘And these words shall then become
Like Oppression’s thundered doom
Ringing through each heart and brain.
Heard again—again—again—
‘Rise like Lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number—
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you—
Ye are many—they are few.’

Richard Moores Double Speak and the New World Order Article form 1995.
cj#333> Doublespeak and The New World Order
Rushing where angels daren't tread, I'll attempt to decode some of the
more topical NWO doublethink terms. You can let me know if my own
language achieves any kind of useful clarity.
-rkm
____________________________________________
____________________________________________
"COMPETITIVENESS": the attractiveness of a venue to
multinational investors, particularly: laxity of regulation and
taxation; the degree to which a developed country regresses to
third-world status.
The phrase "Britain must be made more competitive for today's markets"
decodes as "Britain must have lower wages and lower corporate tax rates
so that it can compete with low-income parts of the world in attracting
_generic_ corporate investments".
_Genuine_ competitiveness, as demonstrated by Japan, involves
marshalling the nation's skills & resources toward adding value in
focused markets -- achieved by promoting synergy and making coordinated
investments. Media-peddled "competitiveness" is like prostitution -- it
values a nation's human and societal resources at scrap street value.
____________________________________________
"DEMOCRACY": a government with a competitive party electoral
system, in which multinationals are able to exert effective
influence -- there is no requirement that the government
represent the people or support their welfare.
If multinational interests are served, then no amount of popular unrest,
nor vote rigging -- not even civil war -- will serve as credible
evidence that the "democracy" is a sham. If corporate interests aren't
served, no amount of civil accord, prosperity, and popular support
qualifies the government as "democratic".
_Genuine_ democracy must be judged by its responsiveness to the informed
desires of the people, its success in promoting their welfare, and their
satisfaction with its performance. The mechanisms used to attain a
functional democracy can have many forms. The media says only
competitive political parties can deliver democracy, but it ain't
necessarily so. Native Americans, in many cases, used a voluntarily
accepted system of village elders and regional councils. Competing
elders were seen as divisive, and consensus was sought to restore
village functioning.
The record is clear that multi-party elections are no guarantee whatever
of democratic process. Not only can parties be limited to those
representing elite minority (or foreign) interests, but the autonomous
authority of the military (typically subsidized by major NWO powers)
often overshadows governmental policy.
To understand what democracy is really about, we need to re-examine our
most cherished assumptions. Is the U.S. a democracy? Is Cuba a
democracy? Do you think you can tell?
Castro doesn't have parties or elections. But policies are worked out
by representatives from different segments of society, are explained
forthrightly (at length!) on the media, and feedback is listened to.
Literacy, health care, and nutrition levels (until recently) have been
the envy of comparable economies. And Castro has been overwhelmingly
popular for most of his tenure.
The U.S. has parties and elections. But policies are worked out by
corporate interests, sold through misleading media rhetoric, and popular
opposition is dismissed as emotional reaction. Literacy, health care,
and nutrition levels -- in fact human welfare by any measure -- are on a
steady decline. The esteem of government and elected officials looms
ever lower on the horizon, nearly ready to set into a sea of total
disgust.
The elections themselves are circuses where certain topics are selected
as being "the issues" and the crowd is entertained with an orchestrated
wrestling match where Hulk Republican and Pretty Boy Democrat dance
around the limited ring of issues. When the match is over, the
establishment gets back to its un-discussed agendas. Because there are
no substantive issues raised during the campaign, the rhetoric fades
into memory. There's no platform, and no distinct "change of
government", as there used to be in Britain, before Tony Blair
infiltrated the Labour Party.
Such elections are more like a shuffling of board members in a
corporation -- the faces change, the policies continue to be set as
before -- outside any democratic process.
Pink Floyd asked "Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?".
I ask you: Can you tell a self-governing people from a stone parliament
building?
____________________________________________
"FREE TRADE": the systematic destabilization of national and
regional economic arrangements, by means of treaties such as
GATT and NAFTA, in order to take economic decision making as far
as possible from any democratic process, and centralize global
economic control into the hands of the corporate elite.
"Free trade", it would seem from the corporate media's propaganda, is
universally accepted by all reputable economists as the One True Path to
prosperity and progress. Such a belief, which does not in fact enjoy a
consensus among economists, is historical nonsense. The Great
Economies, such as that of the 19th Century U.S. & Great Britain, and
modern Japan, were developed under nurturing protectionist policies.
Only when they achieved considerable economic strength did these
countries switch to "free trade" policies, as a way to prevent other
nations from catching up.
An economy (see also: "Reform") is an ecosystem. A strong economy is
one that has diversity and synergy. When "free trade" is imposed on an
underdeveloped economy, it develops in a weakened way, and is over-
dependent on external market fluctuations. Such weakness increases the
bargaining leverage of the multinationals, which is the obvious
objective.
____________________________________________
"PRIVATIZATION": (1) the theft of citizen assets by corporate
interests, achieved through discounted sell-offs of
intentionally under-valued public properties; (2) the creation
of new investment opportunities by means of dismantling publicly
owned services.
Media discussion of privatization is generally limited to the narrow
issues of consumer benefits and operating efficiency. Even on these
grounds, the arguments presented are usually far from convincing. They
are frequently simply a recitation of the axioms "public is
inefficient", "private is efficient" -- often in the face of
overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Privatization is not just a change of managers, it is a change of
ownership. It removes equity from citizens, and removes or minimizes
public control over asset development and pricing. In many cases,
employment is reduced as an immediate step in reducing costs and
enhancing the profit picture -- without the social costs of the
unemployment being considered in the overall accounting for the
transaction.
The aim of a privatized operation shifts from providing a public
service, to making a profit. Short-term profit pressures reduce
investment in long-term maintenance and upgrades, since their payback
period may be beyond the horizon of the investor's plans for cashing
out.
Despite inflated claims to the contrary, consumer benefits tend to be
minimal -- any reduction in rates would be a direct loss from the bottom
line, and token reduction are usually enough for PR purposes and to
satisfy regulatory constraints. The obvious fact that the operator
needs to take out a profit is seldom mentioned when the benefits of
privatization are proclaimed, as if efficiency benefits would accrue
fully to the consumer.
In their personal finances, citizens appreciate the value of asset
ownership. Owning a car or home offers significant cost savings over
the lifetime of the investments, and greatly benefits the citizen in the
face of inflation and fluctuating rental rates. With privatization,
citizens are transformed from owners to renters, and suffer a long-term
equity loss that may be many times greater than the discounted sale
price. A privatized rail system may offer cheaper rates the first few
years, but in the long run it will charge whatever the traffic will bear
-- in tomorrow's inflated economy.
Privatization is a creeping cancer, making inroads that often aren't
identified as "privatization". Lotteries, for example, are at best a
privatized form of tax collection, and at worst, a way for the corporate
investors to fleece those least able to afford poor-odds gambling.
____________________________________________
"REFORM": the modification or replacement of an existing
economic or political system, so as to create new corporate
investment opportunities -- it is not required that the new
system perform effectively, only that it deliver corporate
profits.
A system is in need of "reform" whenever corporate investors think of a
new angle to make new profits. Obvious failures of the "reform"
process, such as unemployment and poverty, are never the fault of
reform, but of incomplete implementation. Belief in "reform" is like
religious faith: no amount of counter-evidence can phase the True
Believer.
Reform is like clear-cutting. A forest is an ecosystem, with wildlife,
streams, underbrush, etc. Careful forestry can harvest timber without
destroying the ecosystem -- but clear-cutting destroys all at once. An
existing political/economic arrangement is also an eco-system: it is the
subtle fabric that weaves the society together and enables its
functioning. "Reform" -- as we saw in the Soviet breakup/selloff/ripoff
-- can destroy the existing framework all at once, and replaces it with
one that doesn't fit, that would take years or decades to take root and
begin producing, and will be owned by someone else at the end of the
day.
_Genuine_ reform would take into account the existing conditions, and if
a change is needed, would make incremental changes over time, evolving a
working system toward sounder functioning.
____________________________________________
"REFORMS, DEMOCRATIC": (1) same as "market reforms"; (2)
movement toward NWO's democracy model.
The adjective "democratic" is used with "market reforms" when they
occur in a country known for its human rights abuses, presumably to
imply that the reforms may somehow reduce those abuses -- which is only
occasionally the case. This use of the phrase "democratic reforms"
performs a mind-programming function: it suggests the assumption that
"market economy" is an inherent, even a primary, element in what it
means to be a democracy.
When applied to political changes, it implies a certain set of
mechanisms, not any democratic result. Even if a culture had an
effective form of democratic governance before, and even if the new
western-style political parties (often covertly funded by foreign
interests) are slanted toward elite minorities -- the "reform" is
nonetheless considered to be a clear victory for "democracy".

Nimrodists

May 23, 2024
It is the Nimrodists who have been a plague on humanity, their seat of Government just happened to move to the city of London in 1698, when the Whig Junto installed the Bank.
The Same Nimrodists have corrupted the US constitution.
What The Nimrodists Hate is religious Orthodoxy, they are literally Men who would be Gods.
The Preferred method of controlling World Trade has been through Money and it is the Mistake of Usury which has got in the way of Prosperity and peace between the various Tribal peoples of the world.
What would the Law of peace and prosperity look like?
Carey the late 19th Century US Economist knew this .
https://cec.cecaust.com.au/pubs/pdfs/cv7n6_part2of2.pdf
The Animus of the British Nimrodist against Russia is that of a Calvanist view of Unconditional Election butting heads with the Eastern Orthodox Church This goes back to the Council of Nicea through to the Split between the Church of Rome and The Eastern Orthodox Church. The Reason is that Usury could not gain traction in any of the Orthodox Traditions following Gods Law against Usury.
The same injunction against Usury came down through the Ages and is found in Aristotles Ethics and Even in Adam Smiths Writing, Read Benthams In Defence of Ussury to see how he tried to Get Smith on Side.
The Nimrodists and the East is a special case the history of which is written in the Ancient Ratio between Silver and gold and The Arbitrage Exploited first aginst The Roman Republic when it forsoke Copper as specie instead replacing Gold and Silver which had never monitised before.
Anyway suffice to say I think the Analysis given in your Link is shooting well wide of the well wide of the mark.

THE USURY ERRORIt would have been a major conceptual error to allow usury to be
charged on agricultural loans denominated in metals, especially if the
interest and principal was to be paid in metal. For one thing, metals are
“barren” – they have no powers of generation. Any interest paid in them
must originate from some other source or process, outside of the bor-
rower’s understanding or control. Money and power would concentrate
in the hands of lenders.
This structural flaw was alleviated by the central authority. Although
the Royal household was the largest lender and charger of interest, it
took decisive action to minimize the harmful effects of usury, by peri-
odically declaring agricultural debt forgiveness. It also set official prices
for valuing various farm commodities, in effect monetizing them.
“In the earliest city cultures every form of exchangeable goods could
be used as money,” Heichelheim reports, estimating that 12 to 20 such
commodities were monetized. He thought that price lists such as
Hammurabi’s price tables (and those of Sumer, and of Mesopotamia)
have been misinterpreted as price controls when they are really official
exchange rates of various commodities when used as money. 13
This meant that borrowers, depending on their harvest to repay
loans, wouldn’t be harmed by seasonal market supply and demand
forces, as the increased supply from their harvest tended to push market
prices lower. Thus the effect of monetizing these commodities was to set
minimum floor prices for them, when used to repay loans.
But the usury error struck in Europe, and by the time the practice of
usury reached Greece and Rome, over a millennia later, repayment and
interest of metallic loans for agriculture were being demanded in metal
or coinage. This practice was not sustainable, and as we shall see, it led
to horrendous societal problems wherever it occurred.

Are We at Crossed Purposes, A default setting, if we are honest with ourselves is to anticipate most of what we are going to hear? So as much as we like to think we listen, being at crossed purposes is likely far more common than we realise. Every conversation has its own unwritten small print this small print is the lens with which all anticipation and interpretation of external information gets filtered back into our deeper thoughts and are assigned their proper place in our own conceptual order of meaning to OurSelves, singularly not in any Royal We sense but sui generis to our own design between our individual self and the great cosmological static.
When we gain knowledge of the world are we experiencing it or are we thinking it? It is really a combination and a cycle between, Sleep and dreaming and Awakeness and automatic experiences External Sensing and imaginings within our thinking portal.

that with a little effort most people could get over to each other
in this fashion to some extent, and the new mode of communication
was developed systematically.
“That is what we do now habitually in this world. We think directly
_to_ each other. We determine to convey the thought and it is
conveyed at once–provided the distance is not too great. We use
sounds in this world now only for poetry and pleasure and in moments
of emotion or to shout at a distance, or with animals, not for
the transmission of ideas from human mind to kindred human mind
any more. When I think to you, the thought, so far as it finds
corresponding ideas and suitable words in your mind, is reflected
in your mind. My thought clothes itself in words in your mind,
which words you seem to hear–and naturally enough in your own
language and your own habitual phrases. Very probably the members
of your party are hearing what I am saying to you, each with his
own individual difference of vocabulary and phrasing.”
