Jan 2024: New Slaves for the New Global Economy part 1 Intro


 New Slaves for the New Global Economy

Part 1. Introduction

 Slavery is the total control of one person by another for the purpose of economic exploitation. Keeping in mind that from the dawn of time slavery has been a key factor in progress, profit, and social stability; that Jesus himself said “you will always have the poor” do dare ask yourself: Is slavery dead or has it been refined; normalized and globalized? Do realize that in today’s growing global economy, new slaves are not only necessary, but they must possess a specific mindset able to function within a dynamic, flexible system of socio-economic control. A mindset that is systematically groomed throughout an individual’s experience within the standard educational system, both private as well as public.

Ask yourself; Are You Free? Assuming you feel you’re not, do you even want to be free? After all, to smoothly exist within the present economic game of capital gain, a game of reward and punishment, a game where the only requirement is to obey … why not submit and conform to the given authority. You only have to put on the side visors and “forward march” chanting, “If you see something, say nothing.” Just become another cog in the assembly line. But do note that traditional, agriculturally based slavery, regardless of inherited atrocities, did not change in a silent vacuum. It took a major shift in public opinion. A shift that, without proper buffers in place, would trigger chaos, anarchy, and/or revolution.  Thus enters British/American Capitalism and more.

Capitalism (an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state for the people), like slavery has not changed … they continue to evolve with a barbaric base and one objective: the monopoly, or the centralization of power and profit. At all costs the fundamentals of feudalism, land ownership, must be preserved. At all costs its means of production, distribution, and consumption through indentured servants must be preserved.

Thus enters the illusion of democracy’s basic principles: Equal Citizen Participation, Political and Religious Tolerance, Accountability, and Transparency. In a democratic society, the illusion of these ideals often finds their way into a constitution or bill of rights upheld and protected by individuals elected to represent the constituents of a given geographic location: States. And that’s where the problem begins. There are consequences.

Cognitive dissonance (see social psychologist, Leon Festinger) is a condition where an individuals perception of self and the world around conflicts with the realities of day to day life; thus creating an emotional toll/strain on one’s mental psyche. Alienation (see Jean-Jacques Rousseau/Erich Fromm) is the state of being withdrawn or separated from a group, person, or situation to which one was formerly attached; separation of human beings from some essential aspect of their nature or from society often results in feelings of powerlessness or helplessness. A perfect environment for creating the new slave – the Automaton - a relatively self-operating or controlled mechanism designed to automatically follow a sequence predetermined instructions. In future articles we’ll be discussing how if you have a credit card, a mortgage, and a car YOU ARE AN AUTOMATON.

“The American Dehumanization

 

We’ve made business profits

Out of Dehumanization,

We’ve made prestigious careers

Out of Castration,

And we have made the American Dream

An Abomination

Before the God of Creation.

We have learned to walk in the shadows of death

And wear the crown of treacherous camaraderie

For those in need.

We’ve rebuilt the Tower of Babel

And have climbed its heights with great pride.

We’ve achieved feats of wonder

And left human ashes smoldering on the trail.

In the name of democracy we’ve lowered many a flags

And replaced them with banners of pirates

Professing free enterprise …

National Multitudes left shackled to the ball and chain

Of Capital Gain.

No more Commi Soci Ism threats

Just ashes of forgotten souls amber hot,

Huddled masses laying in wait

For breath to fan to flames

The Hounds Of Hell Unleashed.

Already preordained,

To test the alienated seeds

As yet seen or felt

The commotion of motion with new direction,

The byproduct consumption in procession,

An Abomination …

The American Dehumanization of its Population

July/August Article: Crime, Punishment and Just-U.S.

Image
  Crime, Punishment and Just-U.S . (part 1 of 2) How ironic! While preparing to celebrate Independence Day, America owns the world’s highest prison rate (2.12 million incarcerated with 21% of them unsentenced), has “permanently” striped 5 million citizens of their voting rights, created private/for profit prison opportunities, offers select companies’ contracts for inmate daily essentials (e.g. toothpaste, underwear, cloths, shoes), manipulates both the census count and its fund allocations (N.Y.C. inmates become cheap laborers and are counted as residents of the prisons town).   But, with a 500% crime increase over 40 years, incarceration is not an effective means of achieving public safety. “The broad effects which can be obtained by punishment in man are the increase of fear, the sharpening of the sense for cunning, and the mastery of achieving unmet desire (Nietzsche); therefore, punishment can tame/break a man, but does not make him better (hearted)." So “Laws and in...

New Slaves for the New Global Economy Part 9. Joining the Rank and File

  New Slaves for the New Global Economy Part 9.  Joining the Rank and File  Praise the Lord, Halle-leu, just don’t care what the devils gonna do. The new automatons are back in school, and the parental batons are getting passed on. September is here and it’s back to where the automaton assembly line awaits . Its linear, rote learning process (mandatory daily recitals) is ready to provide rewards for the best parrots and no carrots for those being identified and isolated to be left behind. No time for rehabilitation. Education is little more than social promotion so best learn to adapt and live with the constipation of the imagination. But isn’t this where finding self is supposed to be key – where the need to know who you are and what you want is the greatest discovery one can experience and achieve? Thank God for charter schools and experiential education programs using methods (e.g. the Montessori Schools) that lead young minds to exploring one’s areas of interest and...

March Article / 2021 - COMMON SENSE

Image
Buffalo Latino Village   COMMON SENSE When neighbors accept that “ It takes a village to fully raise a child ” STUFF HAPPENS! I grew up on such a block; a village within a village. I got punished because of neighbors ratting me out whenever caught doing or saying something out of line. Neighbors shared resources as simple as cups of sugar or milk. I didn’t like or understand it at the time but remember ; the name of the neighborhood cop that walked the beat and would take us to our parents instead of jail for trivial stuff, the mailman that delivered the mail with a smile, sprinkler caps put on fire hydrants for kids to cool off in the summer, and trees getting planted to beautify the blocks. That’s what united block associations can do to hold community boards accountable to use available resources (city, state, and federal projects and funds) for the betterment of the whole community. Sure, there will always be a few bad apples in the barrel; a drunk, a junkie, and/or a thief...

October Article / 2020 : Withholding Taxes for Community

Image
    Withholding Taxes for Community    part 2 of 3 Stated in previous edition, there is reason to turn to, and empower, Grassroot Community based organizations (CBO). WHY? Wonder how your taxes are spent only to feel helpless. Wonder how much of your tax dollars pay for sustaining the life style of civil servants like the Senate, Congress , etc. A LOT! If officials, paid a lot, were listening to the peoples cry “ enough of President Trump ”  (a popular opinion), how is it that the Senate, (representing the peoples voice), can refuse to impeach the president. Either somebody is not listening or somebody is not screaming load enough. So If they are not listening to THAT cry, can you expect such officials to listen to community needs. It’s time for “we the people” to turn to, and empower good old grassroot community-based organizations (CBO ) Time to enable them to take actions beyond simple protests and begin dethroning negligent officials obligated to assure...

June Article / 2021: HOUSING TERMITES

Image
Housing Termites The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree! Feudalism had kings, nobles, vassals, and lords. Capitalism has corporations, elected officials, regulators, and land developers. Their common goal: Distribution and management of land and resources among low/middle income tenants (peasants and indentured servants ). But don’t feel helplessly sad and afraid! Get relentlessly willing and able! Call transient residents’ “ cockroaches ” that come to enjoy a season of the night life and go, each time leaving apartments subject to further rent hikes. Call land developers’ lethal “ termites ” that come, see opportunity, plot long-term visions, and without the early intervention of qualified exterminators, proceed to execute a methodic plan to settle and expand with permanently devastating consequences on community demographics and existing infrastructure. But a bug is a bug! Just flip the switch and watch the light of truth send the night feasting players scrambling for cover....
