Capitalism & Free Market Clarification

Capitalism & Free Market Clarification in PDF
Capitalism, in common usage generally means free market system, although capitalism can have non-free market aspects.

Capitalism is routinely cited as the cause of the wealth gap, poverty, crime and God knows what else. Capitalism, free market system, cannot cause the kind of problems attributed to it. Problems are created when it is corrupted.

As you may already know, that with the fantasy free theory of economics, we disregard the official definition of persons and things and study all entities in terms of how they function. Once capitalism is corrupted, it is no longer capitalism, even though that is what folks call it.

October 30, 2015

 Earn enough money and living above the law is easily accomplished. Given enough money the congress, president and all of the nation’s people work for you. All you have to do is get laws passed that force ordinary citizens to pay you. With enough money that is not only feasible it happens constantly. Every law congress passes serves this purpose. Bills do not make it to the floor for any reason other than to increase and guarantee wealth and income for the upper one percent of the population.

Psychopaths Power Evil

Psychopaths Power Evil  in PDF

In society, psychopathy is largely deemed to be a personality disorder, a mental illness. Is it? That is for mental health professionals to decides. Below is a mighty fine Wikipedia article that explains the conventional wisdom of what psychopathy is,

Psychopathy, or psychopathic personality,[1] is a personality construct[2][3] characterized by impaired empathy and remorse, in combination with traits of boldness, disinhibition, and egocentrism. These traits are often masked by superficial charm and immunity to stress,[4] which create an outward appearance of apparent normalcy.[5][6][7][8][9 Wikipedia

New Dynamics Corporate America

New Dynamics Corporate America.PDF Version

Early in life, most Americans remember the phrase, “the consumer is king.”. This concept began to change in the 1950s. John Kenneth Galbraith, in his book The Affluent Society. coined the term “conventional wisdom”. He explained how what is perceived to be true continues to be deemed to be true long after it is no longer true. Conventional wisdom is that the consumer is king. The consumer is no longer king in the U.S. economy.

In the fifties, Galbraith noticed a change. Sophisticated advertising techniques developed. Demand for goods and services, which had previously sprung up in the hearts of buyers was taking a back seat. Corporations were then creating demand for their products and services by virtue of increasingly sophisticated advertising. The 1950s were only the beginning of the practice of manipulating the public mindset Continue reading

Obedience To Authority

 

Obedience To Authority PDF Version

Every now and then, some brave soul ventures forth and blows the whistle on official corruption. Of course, whatever constitutes official corruption, does not appreciate the whistle having been blown on them. The cost to the whistleblower is devastating. Society is prone to automatically believe those on whom the whistle has been blown

Much of what is true, is old. Such as human nature is, when truth is discovered, it is talked about for a short period of time. Then, life goes on as it did before, with the new insight delegated to the back burner, as if it was never discovered. When the truth is something other than what society deems acceptable, it is ignored or replaced with something more agreeable. The Milgram experiment proves just how prone human beings are to obey authority. Continue reading

How The War Can Be Won

How The War Can Be Won  PDF Version

U.S citizens don’t understand that there is a war waging against them minute by minute. Citizens in all other countries are fighting the same war. All are fighting the same enemy. The enemy is organized and and focused. Citizens around the world are not. When compromised, they behave much like ants in a bed that somebody hacks into with a pick ax. They get disturbed and run around mindless, not knowing who struck them.

Another Silly Recession Headline

I clipped this headline off of Zerohedge this morning.

So, why is it suggested that the U.S. might be in a recession, when it obviously is to anyone with at least one eye, who is looking?  We have a growing homeless population. Banks are failing. Small banks are losing deposits. Retail stores are closing. Home prices have started falling and so on. 

 

So, why is GDP still o.k. but just might head into a downturn? Continue reading

Why You Are Not Already a Slave

There is no reason to enslave Americans. Why? Americans are the world’s most prolific consumers and for the most part docile to a fault. In today’s society hurting someone’s feelings often brings greater consequences than armed robbery.

Freedom should not be taken for granted however.  Your freedom depends upon you maintaining your propensity to spend. Notice what happens when Americans show signs of spending less. A law is passed to force them to buy products or services. Or, interest rates are kept so low that no return on savings is possible. The best option then is to spend since rates are so low. Borrowing and spending seem reasonable. War is another option.

Americans are safe from slavery as long as they are valued highly as consumers. If consumer spending declines watch out because your value as a slave increases relative to your value as a consumer.
