California: preaching on the burning shore

Rainbows and down that highway where ocean breezes blow

In one of his accounts Solzhenitsyn wrote that Beria reported to Stalin, while Stalin himself only reported to Satan. It has occurred to me that with the same power of the air that Mephistopheles told Faust kept him “merely well informed,” that whatever demons inhabited Russian environs to sustain the lusts they feed upon, many have lately found the climate in the West to be more congenial to their constitutions, and are therefore emigres. To quote Emerson, “things are in the saddle, and they ride mankind.”

Science as absolute faith, technology as queen of the world, the vaccine as the baptism of the new religion. And on the other, the cancellation of any religious, humanistic, political and civil, historical and cultural reference. How to call this era that began with the planetary domination of the USA and the USSR? The age of scientism. Science becomes ideology, superstition and technology modifies the world, nature, humanity, becomes an instrument of capillary control and means of global profit. The capitalist system and Soviet communism found a common but competitive point in the unlimited expansion of science and technology, at the service of power and "progress". Marcello Veneziani

Nietzsche correctly characterized Darwinism: it means essentially, to the layman, “the lack of all radical difference between man and beast”. And Nietzsche saw that as a philosophical atomic bomb: if we have these [ideas] thrust on the people in the usual mad way for another generation, no one need be surprised if that people drown on its little miserable shoals of egoism, and petrify in its self-seeking. At first it will fall asunder and cease to be a people. In its place perhaps individualist systems, secret societies for the extermination of non-members, and similar utilitarian creations, will appear on the theater of the future.

Traditional Fascism was defined as an authoritarian government working hand-in-glove with corporations to achieve totalitarian objectives. A centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, using severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.

That governmental system didn’t work in the long-term because the underlying principles driving free people rejected government authoritarianism.  Fascist governments collapsed and the corporate beneficiaries were nulled and scorned.  Then along came a new approach to achieve the same objective.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) was created to use the same fundamental associations of government and corporations.  Only this time the corporations organized to tell the governments what to do.  The WEF was organized for multinational corporations to assemble and tell the various governments how to cooperate to achieve control.

Fascism is still the underlying premise, the WEF just flipped the internal dynamic.

The assembly of the massive multinational corporations, banks and finance offices now summon the government leaders to come to their assembly and receive their instructions.  Some have called this corporatism. However, the relationship between government and multinationals is just fascism essentially reversed with the government doing what the corporations tell them to do.

More Than 105 Million Working Age Americans Do Not Have A Job Right Now

Our long slide toward economic oblivion continues, and survey after survey has shown that most Americans are deeply unsatisfied with the current state of the U.S. economy. Inflation is out of control, most Americans are getting poorer due to the rapidly rising cost of living, the housing bubble has started to burst, and the commercial real estate market is a giant mess. But employment is supposed to be our bright spot. The Biden administration continues to tell us that the unemployment rate is less than 4 percent and that there are lot of jobs available for those that want them. But is this really true?

To answer that question, it is imperative to understand that our government places unemployed persons into one of two categories…

Jobless people are classified into one of two categories by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)—either unemployed or not in the labor force. To be classified as unemployed in the month they are surveyed, people must be actively looking for work. If they are not actively looking, they are classified as not in the labor force.

Schopenhauer had warned against the unparalleled zeal and activity displayed in every branch of Natural Science which, as “this pursuit is mostly in the hands of people who have learned nothing else, threatens to lead to a gross, stupid Materialism, the more immediately offensive side of which is less the moral bestiality of its ultimate results, than the incredible absurdity of its first principles; for by it even vital force is denied, and organic Nature is degraded to a mere chance play of chemical forces.”

Seventy years later, the English writer Bernard Shaw, in his preface to Back o Methuselah (A Metabiological Pentateuch), worried about the secular ethics of ruthless competition implicit in Darwinism, and blamed it for the Great War:

Neo-Darwinism in politics had produced a European catastrophe of a magnitude so appalling, and a scope so unpredictable, that as I write these lines in 1920, it is still far from certain whether our civilization will survive it.

Bernard Shaw, preface to Back to Methuselah (1921), on www.gutenberg.org.

As Shaw was writing this, Darwinism was imposing itself as the metaphysical framework of all “human sciences,” and the foundation of a new idea of man, who is no longer distinguished from the animal kingdom by a qualitative leap. Sigmund Freud, among others, owed his success to having re-founded psychology on Darwinian principles, that is to say, on the predicate that the creative spirit of man was only a by-product of his (repressed) animal instincts: “It is merely the principle of pleasure […] which from the outset governs the operations of the psychic apparatus” (Civilization and Its Discontents, 1929). Since, according to Darwinian logic, procreation determines selection, it was naturally in the sex drive that Freud found the key to the human psyche.
