“No
force…has done more to shape the myths of [e.g., “Peak Oil”] scarcity, the myth of CO2 global
warming danger from combustion of petroleum and coal, than the family
Rockefeller, the founders, more than a century ago, of what became a global
Anglo-American world oil cartel.”

“The causation of
the post-1913 careening into the catastrophe of the global ‘descendence
phase’ of the capitalist system; the dive into the vast, ongoing destruction of
the ‘Hundred[+]-Years[’] [of] War[s]’ ever since – by name, the technodepreciation-induced,
productive-force-growth-induced fall of the general rate of profit on capital –
is not a matter of economic mechanisms alone.”
“It is a matter of politics, or, more precisely, a
matter of ‘POLITICAL-Economy’, as Marx would say, and the mainly ideological, ‘psychē-ic’,
psychohistorical “mechanisms” thereof.”
“It is a matter of the hideous response, by the prevailing
faction of the capitalist ruling class, that we call ‘The
Rockefeller Faction’, and of their –well hidden, in plain sight – ‘invisible
dictatorship’.”
“First becoming enemies of “the growth of the social forces of production” [Marx], especially in the “semi-periphery” of the geographical core of industrial capitalism in the U.K., France and the U.S., and striving, via two, consecutive, hyper-destructive “World Wars”, to de-industrialize Germany, aiming to throw Germany back into a low-productivity, low-productive-force exporter of agricultural and other extractive products, as the U.K. imperial ruling faction had tried to do with “their” American colonies, and then graduating to funding industrialization-suppressing ‘servant-dictatorships’ all over the “semi-periphery”, the “Third World” of grinding poverty and famine that the Rockefeller Faction and their ‘servant-dictators’ imposed, and with the failure of that pogrom in the BRICS and elsewhere, this ‘Rocke-Nazi’ Faction has “graduated” to targeting the “95%” [CNN founder, Ted Turner] “population reduction” of the human race, through their planned, and already dress-rehearsed, global germ warfare ‘designer disease’ pandemics, through ‘stealth humanocide’ via adulterated pseudo-foods, pseudo-vaccines and other, deadly-side-effects-cascading pseudo-medicines, and smuggled-in deadly/illegal drugs [e.g., fentanyl], and via “Federal Reserve” exponential inflation, followed by “Fed” interest-rate-inflation/sudden-escalation-induced recessions and depressions, plus “Global Warming” Austerity, by hyper-inflating monthly household energy utility bills to the point of mass majority class homelessness, followed by concentration camp, “protective custody” incarceration/extermination of “95%”* of the majority class.”
*[For more about this ‘Rocke-Nazi’ agenda, see –
“Once this ‘Rocke-Nazi’ Faction had decapitated and overthrown
the ‘Roosevelt Faction’, in the 1960s, with their whole-sale slaughter of the
leadership of the ‘Roosevelt Faction’ – John Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr.,
and Robert Kennedy – plus that of unreported hundreds of their followers besides,
the ‘Rocke-Nazis’ had all but free reign, to stealthily impose their many
global, ‘humanocidal’ pogroms ever since, until the new Trump Faction of the
capitalist ruling class rose to threaten the ‘Rocke-Nazis’ climactic overthrow,
now underway, with increasingly violent and now burgeoning counter-action by
the ‘Rocke-Nazis’.”
“For all of these reasons, it can be instructive to mentally
simulate what would likely have happened had the Kennedys’ inheritance of ‘The
Roosevelt Faction’, and the movements led by Dr. Martin Luther King, prevailed
against the ‘Rocke-Nazis’.”
“As we see
it, what would likely have happened is, in broad outline, the following.”
“1. The geographical
periphery of the ‘capitalist geo-core’ would have rapidly industrialized. Rooseveltian programs like John Kennedy’s “Alliance
for Progress” would have likely helped mightily to overcome the fetters – in,
e.g., Latin America, and, by their extension, in other parts of the “Global
South” – against that industrialized growth of the social forces of production
there. John Kennedy’s Space Program
would have continued to accelerate advanced technological progress in the U.S.
and the rest of the capitalist ‘geo-core’.”
“2. The owners
of legacy, hyper-concentrated industrial and banking capital would have been
overthrown, economically, from their stranglehold on political
power, due to the ‘‘‘techno-depreciation’’’ ‘de-profit-ization’ of their
obsolescent fixed capital plant and equipment.”
“3. With rapidly-advancing
productivity/productive-force, the wages and salaries of the majority class in
the geo-core would have risen steadily, and would have gradually-risen in the industrializing
geo-periphery of capitalism as well.”
“4. The
pseudo-Marxian, ‘Lenino-Stalinoids’ of the “Second World” would not
have been able to hold-out in suppressing their peoples under a parasitic,
vampiric state-bureaucratic ruling class, in view of the rapid social progress
in the ‘geo-core’ and in the rest of the, rapidly-industrializing, ‘geo-periphery’,
and those police states would have succumbed long before 1989.”
“5. With advancing
wages, the advancing ‘technical composition of labor, and the overthrow of the ‘Rocke-Nazis’
“divide-and-conquer” ideology-engineering “industry”, electoral, political
power would have shifted markedly to the majority, working class. The working class would then be in a
position, and feel the need, for deep reforms of capitalism, such as the ‘Equitist’
reforms that we have proposed, amounting to a peaceful,
rule-of-law-based, electoral transformation of the “social relations of
production” [Marx], beyond the “capital-relation” [Marx].”
“6. The time would
have come to be able to implement Marx’s prescriptions for the transition to
from capitalist plutocracy power, to majority class electoral power, in the
advancing industrial nation-states that had adopted universal adult suffrage –
“When Marx and Engels participated, personally and
signally, in the European continent-wide revolutionary uprisings
of 1848, Europe was ruled largely by violently-repressive
monarchical police states.
Marx and Engels thus saw no way forward for humanity’s evolution
other than by way of violent revolution. But the progress of capitalist representative
democracy during Marx’s lifetime led him later to revise his views
regarding the necessity of violent
revolution for the supercession of capitalism --
“Someday
the worker must seize political power in order to build up the new organization
of labor; he must overthrow the old politics which sustain the old
institutions, if he is not to lose Heaven on Earth, like the old Christians who
neglected and despised politics. But we
have not asserted that the ways to achieve that goal are everywhere the same. You know that the institutions, mores, and
traditions of various countries must be taken into consideration, and we do not
deny that there are countries – such as America, England, and if I were more
familiar with your institutions, I would perhaps also add Holland – where the
workers can attain their goal by peaceful means.” [Marx, 8 Sep. 1872, Amsterdam, Address after the Fifth
Congress of the International Working Men’s Association [“First International”]].”
“The key to the “institutions, mores, and traditions”
that make possible a relatively peaceful transition to what we
name ‘political-economic democracy’ is, according to Marx,
the advancement of capitalist representative democracy to the point of universal
suffrage -- to the right of the “propertyless” [e.g., ‘capital-less’] working-class
majority to vote in national and local elections: “...the
first step in the revolution by the working class, is to raise the proletariat
to the position of ruling class, to win the battle of democracy.” [Marx
and Engels, 1848, The Communist Manifesto]; “But universal suffrage is the equivalent
of political power for the working class of England, where the proletariat
forms the large majority of the population, where, in a long though underground
civil war, it has gained a clear consciousness of its position as a class, and
where even the rural districts know no longer any peasants, but only landlords,
industrial capitalists (farmers) and hired labourers. The carrying of universal suffrage in England
would therefore be a far more socialistic measure than anything which has been
honoured with that name on the continent.
Its inevitable result, here, is political supremacy of the working
class.” [Marx,
1852,
commenting on the Chartist movement].
“7. To blunt the
devastating impact of ‘technodepreciation-driven,
growth-of-the-productive-forces-driven profit-rate-fall’ on legacy industrial
and banking capitalists, due to competition from new industries in the
‘geo-periphery’, as well as from innovative upstarts in the original ‘geo-core’
of capitalism itself, risk-management programs of national-state provided, and
partially state-subsidized, ‘techno-depreciation insurance’ policies
might be legislated, with the full consent of the majority class. However, these ‘techno-depreciation
insurance’ programs would be unfair to the majority-class/majority-electorate
if their premiums and/or subsidies were to be paid-for primarily by income
taxes on the wages and salaries and other incomes of that majority class, and not,
primarily, by the insurance premiums paid-for by the capitalists directly
benefitting from those insurances.”
