I came upon the work of Frederick Parker-Rhodes in my quest for the ideal computer language, which I have elsewhere on MR discussed in relation to Heidegger’s “as” structure and GW’s ontology project.  Recent work in theoretical physics has provided empirical validation to his “wildly eccentric” views—which managed to provide a priori derivations of the dimensionless scaling constants of physics from his ontology detailed in his book “The Theory of Indistinguishables”.  To be brief, there is his “combinatorial hierarchy” that derives from FRP’s attempt to find the underlying mathematical structure of what he called “wholesight”.

Below the fold is an excerpt from “Wholesight: The Spirit Quest” by Frederick Parker-Rodes…

Yes, the radical left is sick with anti-racism, egalitarianism, and internationalism.  It disvalues the family.  It denies blood, it denies Nature.  But it is capable of a sophisticated critique of liberalism which is remarkably similar to that of the New Right.  More than that, because it holds the universities in its palm, it is capable of protest.  It is capable of making an impact.

Occupy Wall Street, which I wrote about here, is or was one such impact.  That the American Establishment took it deadly seriously is now made clear.

Take a moment or two to read this Guardian article, which is chock-full of observations like this one:

the merger of the private sector, DHS and the FBI means that any of us can become WikiLeaks, a point that Julian Assange was trying to make in explaining the argument behind his recent book. The fusion of the tracking of money and the suppression of dissent means that a huge area of vulnerability in civil society – people’s income streams and financial records – is now firmly in the hands of the banks, which are, in turn, now in the business of tracking your dissent

... this one:

the release may be strategic: if you are an Occupy activist and see how your information is being sent to terrorism task forces and fusion centers, not to mention the “longterm plans” of some redacted group to shoot you, this document is quite the deterrent.

... and this one:

Remember that only 10% of the money donated to WikiLeaks can be processed – because of financial sector and DHS-sponsored targeting of PayPal data. With this merger, that crushing of one’s personal or business financial freedom can happen to any of us. How messy, criminalizing and prosecuting dissent. How simple, by contrast, just to label an entity a “terrorist organization” and choke off, disrupt or indict its sources of financing.

Then read this extraordinary account of the previously unseen meshing of American banks, commerce, and the FBI and other agencies, as they strove to destroy the Occupy Movement in August 2011.

This is the Money Power doing what it wants.  The police state which is America today is both the result of that and the future vehicle for it

So what is Max Keiser about?  OK, he’s the best in the media on the power and criminality of the banks.  No question.  But is he just a left-leaning enemy of the money-changers?  I think probably so.

Here is the latest offering of the Keiser Report, dated the 12th November.  Goes a bit wild over George Osborne.  Gives Mike Gravel and his Direct Democracy initiative an easy ride.

The Zurich team can. From Orbis 2007, a database listing 37 million companies and investors worldwide, they pulled out all 43,060 TNCs and the share ownerships linking them. Then they constructed a model of which companies controlled others through shareholding networks, coupled with each company’s operating revenues, to map the structure of economic power.

The work, to be published in PloS One, revealed a core of 1318 companies with interlocking ownerships (see image). Each of the 1318 had ties to two or more other companies, and on average they were connected to 20. What’s more, although they represented 20 per cent of global operating revenues, the 1318 appeared to collectively own through their shares the majority of the world’s large blue chip and manufacturing firms - the “real” economy - representing a further 60 per cent of global revenues.

When the team further untangled the web of ownership, it found much of it tracked back to a “super-entity” of 147 even more tightly knit companies - all of their ownership was held by other members of the super-entity - that controlled 40 per cent of the total wealth in the network. “In effect, less than 1 per cent of the companies were able to control 40 per cent of the entire network,” says Glattfelder. Most were financial institutions. The top 20 included Barclays Bank, JPMorgan Chase & Co, and The Goldman Sachs Group.

Lee John Barnes, the plucky, slightly off-the-wall character who fields some of the legal issues of the BNP and whose blog proclaims itself 21st Century British Nationalism, has corrected last week’s pretty surprising piece by porn-goy Larry Flynt at Huffington Post.

Flynt appears to be picking-up the late Aaron Russo’s populist baton.  He succinctly explained the lie of the land, so to speak, to the Huffington readership.  It wasn’t a question of left vs right, he said, but of the globalist class vs the people of America.  Then he called for campaign finance reform and for a date to be set for a 24-hour national strike.  Forty-eight pages of approving comments followed.

This was interesting because it shows that the evisceration of the global elite is not, as Lee maintains, a purely nationalist interest but extends to all corners.  Of course, it’s true that the Huffington commentariat obediently profess all the positions on white American and European dispossession and racial dissolution that characterise the elite’s drive for global political hegemony.  But that’s because for the most part they are weak and suggestible conformists, not because they really hold those or any other political positions free and clear of external pressure.  In a different political culture they would conform to whatever ideology was dominant.  C’est la vie.

Lee helpfully lists the categories of elites that strangely elude Flynt, making the point that the Huffington liberals are part of the problem too:

The US Shadow Government of the Military Industrial Bloc
The Corporate Media
The Federal Reserve
The International Bankers and the international banking cartels
AIPAC and the Zionists
Liberals and Leftist Globalists
The Big Oil Corporations
The Global Corporations
The Globalist Institutions - UN, WTO, EU, NATO, Bilderbergers, Round Table Groups, Tri-Lateral Commission, etc.

I think he only left out the big political whores of the right.

Now we wait to find out if Larry Flynt has what it takes to talk revenge to the masses, and make something happen.  He describes himself as a free speech activist - the “free speech” in question being his right under the Constitution to “communicate” his business to the American public.  He clearly has the self-image of a hammer of the devout and the shocked.  Taking on the demonic elites, however …

Global media billionaire Rupert Murdoch, the Chairman and Chief executive of News Corporation, has returned to his native land to deliver the 2008 Boyer Lectures.  The series is titled “A Golden Age of Freedom”.

The Boyer Lectures are a series of six live speeches touching on politics and society, and given each year by a different major public figure in Australia.  The equivalent in the UK is the Reith Lectures.

Murdoch opened today with an offering rather oddly titled “Aussie rules: Bring back the pioneer”.  It served to outline his intentions for the rest of the series:-

My theme for these lectures is the great transformation we have seen in the past few decades: the unleashing of human talent and ability across our world, and the golden age for humankind that I see just around the corner.

... I will talk about how the opening of new markets is leading to the rise of new nations and adding hundreds of millions of people to a new global middle class.  I will address technology, education and the importance of cultivating human capital.

... Most of all I will speak of the challenges which all these developments pose for the land of my birth.  The main reason I agreed to come to Australia to deliver these lectures is that the country I see before me simply is not prepared for the challenges ahead.

One wonders what “the rise of new nations” means.  It does not sound like the rise of old nations like India and China.  Then again, “internationalisation”, as Murdoch later calls it, implies not new nations but the post-nation - essentially the MultiCult.  Is he saying that the condition of Australia is that of a post-nation, and that the advent of the artificial “new nation” awaits - if the appropriate internationalist outlook is internalised by Aussies?

I assume so.  But right away we see what Murdoch’s new nation will amount to.  The only understanding that the man who made his money from Page 3 has of human purpose is material advancement.  He is offering a life of consumerism and wage-slavery in return for the cinematic Arthur Jensen’s:-

“perfect world in which there is no war or famine, oppression or brutality.  One vast and ecumenical holding company for whom all men will work to serve a common profit, in which all men will hold a share of stock.  All necessities provided, all anxieties tranquillized, all boredom amused.”

Here it is again in Murdoch’s only slightly more prosaic version:-

A video site I had not heard of til today.  Very varied content, some of it close to the mainstream.  The ever-present theme, however, is the hand of the powerful and corrupt.

Hat-tip to Troy Southgate.

I’ve been wondering how the unprecedented debacle in the money business impacts upon the theory of an imperiously capable global elite.  How does one explain that where there were five organisations in America bearing the prestigious title “investment bank”, now there are none?  Not even Goldman Sachs has hung on to its former status, notwithstanding its long tradition of planting its senior executives in the executive.  How did the Masters of the Universe get things so fundamentally, spectacularly wrong? 

Of course, the completely staggering quantities of public money that have been committed across the world to stave off further collapse could be said to argue for the political power of the banking elites.  Or they could if the end result had not been the hugely embarrassing nationalisation of some very old names.

I admit to being puzzled.  Are we to model a system where Lazard et Freres conspired, while the rest played their juvenile games with money they did not have, and only went to Bilderberg, Davos and the Grove to add to their collection of hotel towels?

Anybody care to explain?
