Illegal Drug Trade Essential to Geopolitics, Says Former Diplomat : Waking Times

[zdo 20]

The twentieth century saw four basic visions of hell on earth, or dystopia. These were:

Orwellian. Rule by autocratic totalitarian people, party or elite group, limitation of choice, repression of speech and repression of minorities, belief in order, routine and rational-morality. Control by enclosure, fear and explicit violence. Violent repression of dissent (via ‘the party line’). Erotic physicality and sexual freedom suppressed via control of sexual impulses. Control of thought by explicitly policing language (Orwellian Newspeak).

 

Huxleyan Rule by democratic totalitarian systems, excess of choice, limitation of access to speech platforms, assimilation of minorities, belief in emotional-morality, ‘imagination’ and flexibility, and control by desire, debt and implicit threat of violence. No overt control of dissent (system selects for system-friendly voices). Erotic physicality and sexual freedom suppressed via promotion of pornographic sensuality and dissolution. Control of thought by implicitly enclosing language within professional boundaries (Illichian Newspeak, or Uniquack).

 

Kafkaesque Rule by bureaucracy. Control of populace via putting them into writing, forcing people to spend free time on bureaucratic tasks, thereby inducing tractable stress and the schizoid, self-regulating self-consciousness (anxiety about low marks, unlikes, official judgements and the like) that bureaucratic surveillance engenders. Generation of a system which structurally rewards those who seek an indirect relationship with their fellows or who, through fear of life, seek to control it through the flow of paperwork.

 

Phildickian Rule by replacing reality with an abstract, ersatz virtual image of it. This technique of social control began with literacy*—and the creation of written symbols, which devalued soft conscious sensuous inspiration, fostered a private (reader-text) interaction with society, created the illusion that language is a thing, that meaning can be stored, owned and perfectly duplicated, that elite-language is standard and so on—and ended with virtuality—the conversion of classrooms, offices, prisons, shops and similar social spaces into ‘immersive’ on-line holodecks which control and reward participants through permanent, perfect surveillance, the stimulation of positive and negative emotion, offers of godlike powers, and threats to nonconformists of either narco-withdrawal or banishment to an off-line reality now so degraded by the demands of manufacturing an entire artificial universe, that only hellish production-facilities, shoddy living-units and prisons can materially function there.

 

The reader can decide for herself under which of above we currently struggle to eke out a life worth living. I would like to suggest that all modern societies are both Kafkaesque and Phildickian with either a Huxleyan or Orwellian overarching framework; modern, western, capitalist societies tend to be basically Huxleyan (HKP) and pre-modern, eastern, communist countries tend to be basically Orwellian (OKP).

...

 

 

///

* Obviously I’m not suggesting that literacy is inherently or completely dystopian, but it is the beginning of a dangerous and distorting process, which starts with societies demanding literacy for participation — and devaluing orality and improvised forms of expression — and ends with the complete eradication of reality. This danger and distortion increases with every step towards virtuality (print, perspective, photography, television, internet) until, by the time we reach VR, there remains no possibility of reverie, transcendence, humanity, meaning or genuine creativity, all of which become suspect.

I'm a simple man, and I have described myself as "the village idiot" in past posts. For the most part, I will stand by that statement (with some pride)...

 

I'm often confused by what I see in society, govmnt, and the markets ("baffled" may be a better word). I'm sure there is some rhyme or reason to it all... but yea... explain "dark matter" to me...

 

I'm an ole guy, and I must admit that "I" still don't "get it"... possibly that's a personal strength (considered in the context of "the grand scope of everything")... or, it may just be an "easy out".

 

"Trade it as you see it"...

If you dare - question things more fiercely...

Everything financial you’ve read, heard, watched most of your life is passed on in terms of keynesian economics. Keynesian econ is a skewed/fabricated economics model to serve centralized/socialized/parasitic ends. It is not real econ. Who wouldn’t be mixed up, deluded, disturbed?

Ha! Was "no it all" a typo or a play on words? I rather like it (amused). I think I mentioned that I have a suspicion that my self proclaimed idiocy is an "easy out" from a greater responsibility.

 

Economic theory is not what baffles me... it's the erroneous application of theory as a matter of convenience in politics and govmnt policy.

 

I feel an "if I were king" rant about to start, but I think I'll just return to the kiddie table.

[zdo 20]

Re: “Was "no it all" a typo or a play on words?”

I no’d what I was just sayin

 

Re:“The problems with "Keynesian economics".... really? ”

Good grief. If I meant to attribute it ALL to Keynesian economics, I would have been quite blunt about it. So, again, re: “confused” ("baffled" may be a better word)” - If YOU are not Keyn, then you will have more difficulty understanding (and communicating with) Keyn’s... in a world where all things financial are published in the key of Keyn...

...and in this case, apparently, it also it produces some difficulty discussing things with other not- Keyn’s too ...

 

Re: “Economic theory is not what baffles me... it's the erroneous application of theory as a matter of convenience in politics and govmnt policy.”

I’d reply there is nothing erroneous in how ‘theory’ is being applied. The 'theories' are just not being applied to your benefit. Keyn. is just another tool. One label among many, a construct and lexicon to sustain an ongoing psy-op floating a progress(ivism) that’s not really progress, etc etc. See Of Two Minds - The Illusion of Progress

It’s just one of many labels, schools, etc, etc, etc. twisted to sustain centralization, globalism, exploitation, herd management, or whatever fkn label floats your boat. If you are authentically questioning , from among many possible ‘starting place’ labels- - that Keyn ‘label’ is a more than sufficient starting place to explore the deceitful ‘theories’ actually being applied ... just sayin’

 

I’m sorry - not writing a book here. We’re just going to have to be able to include and accommodate some labels/’abbreviations’/ catchall truncations with the 'just sayins' about , not an erroneous application of theory, but the big lie psyop. If you can’t stand it or handle it in financial terms and need it in terms of “government ” and applied “policy” , etc, there are several ‘label’s of opportunity there too.

Mr. zdo... with all due respect... we agree on so much. I would invite you down to the kiddie table where we all understand that adults are kinda fucked up, but we are stuck with the situation at hand. But be forewarned, the term "deepstate" has no practical application down here. Kinda like the term "dark matter"...

[zdo 20]

jp, Now that you have firmly eliminated economics and money from being at issue...let’s turn to this “erroneous application of theory as a matter of convenience in politics and govmnt policy” issue

 

"All government, in its essence, is a conspiracy against the superior man: its one permanent object is to oppress him and cripple him. If it be aristocratic in organization, then it seeks to protect the man who is superior only in law against the man who is superior in fact; if it be democratic, then it seeks to protect the man who is inferior in every way against both. One of its primary functions is to regiment men by force, to make them as much alike as possible and as dependent upon one another as possible, to search out and combat originality among them. All it can see in an original idea is potential change, and hence an invasion of its prerogatives. The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And even if he is not romantic personally he is very apt to spread discontent among those who are."

H.L. Mencken

“The most erroneous assumption is to the effect that the aim of public education is to fill the young of the species with knowledge and awaken their intelligence, and so make them fit to discharge the duties of citizenship in an enlightened and independent manner. Nothing could be further from the truth. The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all; it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality. That is its aim in the United States, whatever the pretensions of politicians, pedagogues and other such mountebanks, and that is its aim everywhere else.”

H.L. Mencken

All of us have a “that’s not something that is actionable for me” card that we can play at any time. We can play it when we really believe we can’t act effectively on the issue and we can play it when we want to shut down or water down a conversation...

I got into my first fight in school (must've been 1st grade) when an older kid called me an "American".

 

I was making comment that I didn't understand why we had to say "The Pledge of Allegiance" every day... seemed like once should be enough. An older kid heard my comment, and informed me it was because I was an American (and added the word "stupid"). Well... I had never considered myself to be "much of anything", but I didn't like being called names... and well... "American" kinda sounded like a name.

 

After she was done laughing, mom said: "Honey, you are an American; Stupid (she may have said "silly" not "stupid").

 

Edit: To Mr. Mencken... get what you're saying dude, but there are some places that such things just won't take root.
