‘Hellywood’,

etc.

Dear Reader,

It is my pleasure to share with you the crux a recent dialogue with an old friend of mine – who recently re-connected with me – and which entered upon the core issues of this blog.

Friend’s Observations: “I think back to a passage in Shakespeare’s MacBeth in which, in so many words, MacBeth voices frustration that though he can will the commission of a heinous act against his political adversary, he cannot will that it to be right, notwithstanding what he calls his “vaulting ambition.”

“All of this had led me to think that our popular culture has been degraded by the profusion of television shows (beginning with the “The Sopranos” in the late 1990s) which celebrate “anti-heroes” of various sorts. from drug traffickers to money launderers to corrupt police officers to self-appointed vigilantes ad nauseam.”

“I think of two films, for instance, that really moved me, even through both were ostensibly action thrillers: The first was “Cape Fear” (1962 with Gregory Peck) and “The Fugitive” (1993 with Harrison Ford). In both dramas, we see flawed but decent men (not endowed with superpowers and holding everyday jobs) who face enormous stress and obstacles as they find themselves in situations in which the protection of the law is not available to them, yet they recognize the law and civilizational norms as a constraint they must adhere to, even as they find themselves for all practical purposes in a brutish jungle defending themselves from menacing characters.”

“And the fact that movies like this are not produced anymore unless they involve two-dimensional “superheroes” reflects I guess the general callousness and dystopic mindset that seems unfortunately so pervasive.”

My reply: “I agree that Hollywood – which I have come to re-name ‘Hellywood’ – are contributing to a moral degeneration of our society.”

“I don’t think that this is an accident, or driven simply by the profitability of “yellow journalism” and worse.”

“I think that the ruling faction of the capitalist ruling class, centered originally around the Rockefeller family, and the institutions created, ultimately, via their monetary power – the New York Council on Foreign Relations, the Federal Reserve, the Trilateral Commission, the various Rockefeller Foundations, etc. – are running a programmed assault on morality and constitutional, representative democracy, to degrade our society into a dictatorship, to be controlled by them from behind the scenes.”

“That ruling faction has become ‘humanocidal’ – their spokespeople regularly calling, until it got them in trouble recently, for “95%” human population “reduction”. The reason for their degeneration into this ‘humanocidal mania’ is the fundamental flaw in the capitalist system: as fixed capital accumulates, as the embodiment of rising productivity, with strong profit-incentives to continue to accelerate productivity growth, in a competitive world market, the most-concentrated owners of massive legacy industrial fixed capital are threatened with pre-amortization devaluation of their fixed capital – before recouping its original cost via “wear-and-tear” depreciation charges over, e.g.,10 years – by upstart competitors, wielding more advanced fixed capital plant and equipment – devaluations which must be written off against period gross profits. The obsoleted, techno-depreciated fixed capital, charged-off and scrapped, must still be paid for in debt-service on the ~50 year loans by which it was purchased, while the new, more-advanced, more productive, competitive fixed capital must be purchased to replace the old, scrapped fixed capital, via new loans, that also require new periodic debt-service payments. The legacy fixed capital owners find their profitability declining, in a debt trap, forced to scrap legacy equipment, and take out new loans for the, more- competitive replacement equipment, while still paying off the older loans, each time an upstart innovator enters the market with a more-advanced, more-productive fixed capital vintage.”

“During the “Great [Techno-]Deflation”, circa 1870 to circa 1890, the biggest owners of industrial fixed capital in the US and the UK, realized that, if they “allowed” productivity to keep accelerating in its growth, with capitalist industrialization advanced by new, lower-wage, latest-equipment start-ups in, e.g., Germany, Argentina, India, Brazil, Japan, Turkey, etc., that they, the former global lords of industry and banking, would be bankrupted, de-monetized, dis-empowered, and thrown off of their hyper-privileged thrones, and denied all of the – already hyper-perverted, ‘Epstein-esque’ – “perks” of their economic, hence political, power.”

“The growth of productivity is highly beneficial and increasingly liberating for humanity at large.”

“But, to preserve their power, which they loved more than life itself, these plutocrats resolved to do everything in their power to stop, and then to reverse, capitalist industrialization in those nation-states. of the geographical “semi-periphery”, relative to the capitalist ‘geo-core’ in the US, UK and France, via setting up ‘servant-dictatorships’ in those nation-states – servants to the Rockefeller Faction, progress-destroying tyrants to their own people – as well as to suppress advanced-productivity domestic upstarts in the US and the UK [recall, the, later, cases of Preston Tucker and John DeLorean], starting with Germany, vowing to reduce Germany back down into an agricultural, raw-materials exporting, backward nation.”

“By 1913, this – ‘capitalist ANTI-capitalist’, anti-competitive- markets, anti-industrialization – ruling faction had their plan in place: institute the “Federal Reserve” [during Christmas recess, and over the dead bodies of several Congressmen] to manage an exponential inflation that would keep real-wages forever behind prices, shoring up their profits, and creating “recessions” whenever advantageous to that ruling faction, and the Federal Income Tax, to draw upon workers’ wages and lower-capitalists’ profits to pay for the armaments, and the “perks”, of their ‘servant-dictators’ throughout what they thereby turned into the “Third World”.”

“Then, in 1914, they secretly contrived the First World War, secretly aimed at de-industrializing Germany, as well as its allies...”

“Skipping ahead, skipping over any mention of many significant developments, in recent years, this ruling faction’s efforts to suppress the global growth of productivity had largely failed, their ‘servant-dictators’ largely overthrown, albeit often by new dictators, hostile to them, no longer their servants, but despots still, and with new, advanced technologies escaping their power to suppress, e.g., via their ‘ecologism’ ideology’s calls for global de-industrialization, largely failing to be implemented – except, e.g., in Germany... – and with fusion power on the horizon, threatening to overthrow, permanently, the Rockefeller Faction’s ‘Global Dictatorship of Petroleum’.”

“Now that the fusion development effort has escaped the stranglehold of governments subservient to the Rockefeller Faction, with entrepreneurs leading that development, outside of government control, progress toward commercial fusion has been accelerating. Even the mere announcement of a successful commercial fusion electric plant design would send the capital equity stock values of the oil oligarchy into a free-fall, let alone what would happen to the oil-wealthies’ finances once fusion power plants, and the massive other benefits of harnessing fusion plasmas, began to be widely implemented, techno-depreciating the entire oil infrastructure world wide.”

“Also looming are android robots with generative AI brains, impending a robot workforce that is expected to exponentially grow industrial productivity, but also to proliferate unemployment among human workers, probably forcing major changes in the fundamental socio-political-economic relations of our society.”

“The Rockefeller, “Dr. Strangelove” Faction came to the view that – even with their planned cyber-police-states – they could not keep further technological productivity, and a large global population, sufficiently under their control for them to stay in power. These “Dr. Strangeloves” therefore opted for their present global pogrom – “95%” human population extermination, e.g., via global designer-disease pandemics. One of their spokes-servants, Dr. Eric Pianka, publicly called for a genetically-modified, aerosol-vectored Ebola designer-pandemic, to kill off enough of the human population fast enough to “save the planet in time” [euphemism for “save the oligarchy’s power before it is too late to do so”]. [For numerous quotes from Rockefeller Faction ‘spokes-servants’ and associates, proclaiming their, e.g., 95% human population extermination goal, e.g., via a global pandemic plague, see –

“The ruling faction’s controlled media, including their ‘Hellywood’, and that faction’s “wholly-owned”, side-effects-engineering, autism-inducing ‘pseudo-medicines’ Pharmaceutical Industry, their “Big Ag” ‘pseudo-foods’ industry, with diabetes, dementia, heart-disease, stroke, and cancer, etc. induced by their adulterated food products, etc., are now all orchestrated in a ‘STEALTH humanocide’ campaign to promote epidemic drug addiction, suicidal depression, suicidal side-effects pseudo-medicines, abortion on demand – the mass murder of babies – the sterilization of the next generation by genital mutilation of children, contrary to parental decisions, in the guise of “gender affirming care”, and chronic, life-truncating diseases, on the way to the ruling faction’s planned OVERT global ‘humanocidal’ pogrom, once their police-state dictatorships are firmly in place.”

“So yes, morality and decency of every kind are also on the targets list of this plutocratic, oligarchic, ‘humanocidal’ faction.”

For Global Renaissance,

Miguel.”
