The announcement of the
passing of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement (accounting for some
40 percent of the world’s GDP) yesterday marks the amplification of another
shattering Shemitah Trend – not well understood but of a profoundly radical
nature. Within the last few weeks the world’s entire power structure has been radically
reconfigured.
following the end-day of Shemitah, September 13th, (The Wipeout date)
the world’s democratic paradigm died and a new ruling structure of
technocratic corporatism was ushered in. This corporatism works hand-in-glove
with entrenched governmental bureaucracies, so we can also call it by a
more familiar name: Fascism.
In fact, last month the Pope
spoke at Congress in between two “fasces” as he announced the new world order.
Fasces is a bound bundle of wooden rods, sometimes including an axe with
its blade emerging and is where the word fascism comes from. It seems no
one ever seems to notice them.
The word fascism is so charged
with historical overtones that it is best to find other descriptors about which
people have fewer preconceptions. Fewer preconceptions allow us to see
what is taking place more clearly. And we have to try to be as clear-sighted as
possible because the general media will give us no help.
Let’s look at the Fascist
Trans-Pacific Partnership ( to be accompanied eventually by a similar
“Atlantic” agreement). Some of the TPP sounds fairly encouraging. Tariffs and
other barriers to trade are reduced, for instance. But the main thrust of TPP is to empower large
corporations and their un-elected and mostly unaccountable leaders.
Under the TPP, multinationals and powerful corporations can sue
governments that make laws that interfere with business and profit-taking. This is a huge undermining of
sovereign state power. Michael West, writing for the Sydney Morning
Herald, had this to say:
The reality is this TPP free trade deal is as much about free
trade as it is about entrenching the interests of large multinational
corporations. It is no secret that, while the citizens of the 12
signatory nations remain in the dark about the detail of the regional free
trade pact, multinationals
and their lobbyists had a large hand in shaping it. The US has a system
of trade consultative committees. There are some 600 “cleared advisers” who
consult to government. Of those, about 550 hail from the corporate sector; the
rest a smattering of union, community and environment groups. The cleared adviser has to sign
a confidentiality contract and cannot talk about the deal but is free to give
detailed advice to government.
Why the secrecy? Because TPP is a radical reconfiguration
of the way the world works. It removes power from democracies and places it in
the hands of unelected managers (technocrats) of gigantic private sector
enterprises.
Power will pass out of
governments and into the hands of those who wield power unaccountably,
protected by the very nation-states they are now being encouraged to
sue. Of course this has increasingly been the case anyway, but there is a
difference between wielding power behind the scenes and being empowered by law
to do so.
What we can see both in the EU
and with the TPP is further centralization of power in vast entities that are
almost impervious to challenge. The average person has no chance of influencing
EU decision making. And when it comes to the TPP, the average person will have
no chance to confront multinationals. Meanwhile, multinationals that are
distrustful of a given nation’s legal system will be able to turn to a variety
of extra-national tribunals that will be empowered to make binding decisions.
The scaffolding of global
governance is being erected with treaties like the TPP. It didn’t even take the
United Nations. The banking cabal that is seeking ever more concentrated power
worldwide finds it easier to pursue the convergence it seeks via secret
treaties that are realized via tremendous pressure brought on individual
governments behind the scenes.
We have seen this before in
history. Most recently with the first information revolution that introduced
books and allowed people to read the Bible. It soon became evident that the
Catholic Church had not been telling the truth about the written Word of God
and this revelation ushered in significant discontent, expanding the
Renaissance and leading to the Reformation, Age of Enlightenment and the
American and French Revolutions.
Now thanks to the internet, we
are engaged in another tumultuous era. The initial information revolution sank
the Church, which in turn stripped kings of their divinity. As a result,
democracy gradually emerged.
But the internet has shattered
the credibility of democracy. In the US for instance, confidence in government
(congress) is running in single digits.
What people have not yet
comprehended is that as democracy gradually dies, a new system of rule is
waiting in the wings. This system involves a corporate-government alliance
managed by an un-elected technocracy.
The system is already quite
well worked out and values “expertise” above all else. Those welcomed into the
ranks of technocracy go to the best schools and receive the “best” educations. What this really means is that
the best and brightest receive a homogeneous world view whether they are in the
US or Europe or elsewhere.
This is how a technocrat elite
is being built and the only problem with it is that the beliefs
of the emerging technocratic class are quite questionable at best and
propaganda at worst.
What are some of these faulty
beliefs? Well, one of the simplest is the idea that multinationals are an
outgrowth of capitalism. They are not.
Multinationals only exist
because of judicial fiat. They are an enforcement of the state. They rest on a
three-legged stool of court decisions including intellectual property rights,
corporate personhood and central banking – itself an absurd invention of
Leviathan.
Central banking is perhaps the most egregiously false dogma to which
our managing caste clings. It is impossible for a small group of individuals to
set the price and volume of “money” for the rest of us. To do this involves
knowledge of the future that is simply not available using backwards-looking
statistics.
The idea of the “expert” has
been promulgated with extreme violence worldwide. The new, emergent priest
class is to use the best statistics and mathematical protocols to create
decisions that will anticipate the future and render harmless various kinds of
disasters.
This is, however, a kind of
nonsense. Central bankers cannot know the future anymore than other kinds of
industrial technocrats. NO ONE can know the future. No one, for the most part,
can make better predictions than anyone else.
But this is what we are being
asked to believe. This is the shape of the future – in which a few “supermen”
furnished with the most prodigious brains and best educations shall be held up
as part of an “expert class” endowed by innate superiority with the right to
rule.
This is the paradigm now under
construction. For those who do not believe it can evolve into a force as
powerful as democracy once was, please examine your assumptions. The elites
have evolved such structural changes before and they use very blunt instruments
to do so. Those instruments include war and economic repression and depression.
This is the bloody birth of a
new era, one drenched in migratory lunacy, the horror of drone warfare and the
creeping genocide of economic depression. It doesn’t have a chance in hell
of working.
But it will create holy hell
before it is fully discredited. Paranoid and terrified, elites have
truly “let loose the dogs of war.” Conflicts around the world have
blossomed with terrible violence. Meanwhile, most of the world is now
suffering from increasing economic dysfunction. In fact the next leg may
have just been set-off a few hours ago when Deutschebank announced a $6 billion
third quarter loss. Their stock is currently down 6%… and it
could be Deutschebank that really sets off this fall crisis.
