Larry and Lee on the global elites

Posted by Guessedworker on Wednesday, 26 August 2009 17:50.

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 …

I seem to sense the absence of something else as well. Perhaps it falls within the rubric of ‘Liberals and Leftist Globalists’, or maybe ‘Corporate media’, but I’m missing the whole cultural dimension here. Like, for instance, the folks who populate Foreign Policy/Prospect Magazines list of Top 100 World Public Intellectuals. Ditto the Chancellors of the 500 top universities. Without their collective guidance the millions of Gramscian foot-soldiers who toil at the coal face would be rudderless.

We might consider think-tanks too, like the IPPR or Pew.

I agree about the intellectuals. It is David Rockefeller who was credited with saying, “The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.”

There’s something in the air, something unpleasant.

Larry Flynt — yes, that Larry Flynt — is calling for a general strike.

The U.S bank crisis is just beginning. If and when this comes to pass — when, not if, I believe — there will be scenes in this once-great land that haven’t been seen in ages. We’re in debt up to our eyeballs with no reasonable prospect of ever repaying.

The banks are insolvent.

”One might think that these shareholders might be getting tired of being financially ‘raped’ by these banksters. However, as I pointed out in ‘Explaining U.S. Market Psychology,’ more than 50% of the shares of these fraud-factories are held by the wealthiest 1% of the U.S. population. These ultra-wealthy aristocrats are more out of touch with the real world than was Marie Antoinette — when she offered the starving French masses ‘cake’ just days before they chopped off her head.

“While this is unlikely to occur in the United States (given the acute shortage of guillotines) it might be time for the Wall Street banksters to take heed of history.

“They may own the politicians. They may own the regulators. And they may simply own most of America. However, they don’t own the billion or so guns currently in the possession of an increasingly angry American population.

“Massive economic suffering and a billion guns is a very dangerous mix.”

Very true, and good diction; if the IntarWebs remain open, there remains the distinct possibility that the disparate parties interested in self-determination and freedom of association will combine forces rip TPTB a new ass. Let’s face it, it isn’t a significant departure for a great many of us, all over the political-cultural-racial map, to see the immense creepiness of the forces demanding that we live under one roof. I’d guess that an overwhelming majority is a nudge from signing on to a parting of ways. Everyone paying attention hates one another, and they all hate the ones not paying attention. This is what divorce is for.
