Neocon Plan to Wreck the Economy

Kurt Nimmo

 

April 8, 2006

 

If we are to believe Sterling Seagrave, " co-author of Gold Warriors

and an extremely well-connected financial source in both the US and

China as well as Europe, " the White House, that is to say the

Straussian neocons in control of the White House, have ordered the

Federal Reserve to print a whopping two trillion in funny (or not so

funny fiat) money. " The U.S. Treasury is allegedly running printing

presses 24/7 to accommodate that order " and this " probably explains

why the US Treasury Secretary resigned several months ago and was

replaced by a Bush flunkey, and why Greenspan resigned from the Fed

several weeks ago, not wanting to go down with the Titanic…. We have

been predicting this over the past two or three years, as the

inevitable consequence of the Bush administration's bizarre policies,

although we were not certain exactly when it would occur. "

 

If accurate, this will mean your already worthless money will be even

more worthless and hyper-inflation will eventually decimate what

remains of the so-called middle class. If Seagrave is correct, the

neocons are engineering a New Serfdom for the vast majority of

Americans, most who remain utterly clueless about what the Straussian

neocons have in mind for them and their children.

 

" The war in Iraq, and other unwise decisions that caused Treasury

Secretary Paul O'Neil to quit the Administration in protest over the

lack of a sound policy process, have drained the piggy bank, " Seagrave

continues. " Bush may well be printing money, and he is probably also

selling off 'futures' like crazy. We could have a major crisis prior

to 2008 that demands a restructuring of the government along with a

very rapid re-appreciation of what our national strategy needs to be. "

 

Seagrave, however, does not provide an explanation why Bush would do

such a thing, although he notes that the " White House apparently hoped

that by the time anyone found out about the flooding of the market

with dollars, they could stage an event, such as an air attack on

Iran's nuclear facilities, that would distract the public entirely. "

Of course, an attack on Iran (more details on this revealed by Seymour

Hersh) will not be launched primarily as a distraction—it is a key

objective of the Straussian neocon plan.

 

In addition to the obvious fact the government is now rife with

criminal embezzlers and thieves (note the few trillion missing from

the Pentagon), the criminal Straussian neocons plan to restructure

American society and warp its once lofty ideals (already seriously

eroded through neoliberal globalism) via economic strangulation and

perpetual conflict, first in the Muslim Middle East and then, as

promised, elsewhere (China and Russia are at the top of the list).

 

It should be remembered the core Straussians are basically Trotskyites

and Leon Trotsky advocated " permanent revolution, " that is to say a

radical change through Stagism, or the Theory of Stages (a crucial

tenet of neoliberal globalism). Of course, Trotsky was a communist and

supposedly believed in the proletariat taking power through violence

and overthrowing the bourgeoisie. The Straussian neocons, however, are

not interested in a revolution of the proletariat—they are interested

in elevating themselves to the very pinnacle of state power and ruling

as Machiavellian princes over the benighted masses.

 

" The ancient philosophers whom Strauss most cherished believed that

the unwashed masses were not fit for either truth or liberty, and that

giving them these sublime treasures would be like throwing pearls

before swine, " Shadia Drury, a leading scholarly critic of Strauss,

told Danny Postel. " In contrast to modern political thinkers, the

ancients denied that there is any natural right to liberty. Human

beings are born neither free nor equal. The natural human condition,

they held, is not one of freedom, but of subordination—and in

Strauss's estimation they were right in thinking so. " As the

Straussian would have it, the masses are " selfish, slothful, and

indolent " and " can be inspired to rise above their brutish existence

only by fear of impending death or catastrophe, " or for that matter an

economic depression coupled with perpetual war, as Orwell envisaged

( " Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia " ). The attacks of

September 11, 2001, a " new Pearl Harbor, " were the beginning of this

Straussian revolution, an event many Straussians believe was

squandered because " democracy " got in the way (and because people

naturally avoid a perpetual state of war in favor of peace, even

partial peace).

 

Strauss borrowed a lot from the " Marxist of the right, " Alexandre

Kojève (a student of the Nazi lover Martin Heidegger), and the Nazi

jurist and advocate of totalitarianism, Carl Schmitt. " Kojève lamented

the animalization of man and Schmitt worried about the trivialization

of life, " explains Drury. " All three of them were convinced that

liberal economics would turn life into entertainment and destroy

politics; all three understood politics as a conflict between mutually

hostile groups willing to fight each other to the death. In short,

they all thought that man's humanity depended on his willingness to

rush naked into battle and headlong to his death. Only perpetual war

can overturn the modern project, with its emphasis on

self-preservation and 'creature comforts.' Life can be politicized

once more, and man's humanity can be restored…. The combination of

religion and nationalism is the elixir that Strauss advocates as the

way to turn natural, relaxed, hedonistic men into devout nationalists

willing to fight and die for their God and country. "

 

Drury continues:

 

If America fails to achieve her " national destiny " , and is mired

in perpetual war, then all is well. Man's humanity, defined in terms

of struggle to the death, is rescued from extinction. But men like

Heidegger, Schmitt, Kojève, and Strauss expect the worst. They expect

that the universal spread of the spirit of commerce would soften

manners and emasculate man. To my mind, this fascistic glorification

of death and violence springs from a profound inability to celebrate

life, joy, and the sheer thrill of existence.

 

Our current crop of Straussians, well ensconced in the White House and

the Pentagon, are in the process overturning the " modern project " and

a not so modern project, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. This

will be accomplished through economic catastrophe and engineered war.

Deprived of opportunity, income, and even food—and for those unable to

provide for themselves, consider the Super Dome in New Orleans as a

grim reminder—the masses will do whatever is required, especially if

darksome devils and frightful Islamic enemies are unrelentingly

portrayed at the ready with dirty nukes. In dire straits, with the

prospect of wheelbarrows of money to buy loaves of bread as inflation

shoots skyward by the hour, people will do almost anything asked of them.

 

I don't claim to be an economist. On the other hand, as a novice

student of history, I understand how government manipulates people

through economic manipulation and engineered crises. I believe the

Straussian neocons are fascists masquerading as " conservatives " and

even a cursory examination of their cobbled together philosophy—a

large dose of Straussian " ethics, " a dash of Trotsky's perpetual

revolution, a pinch of Jacobin militancy and debauchery—and a general

overview of history reveals what they have in mind for us. I believe

they are capable, through their sock puppet Bush the Minor, a " dry

alcoholic " and Manichean nihilist parading as a " conservative, " of

looting the treasury, siphoning off trillions from the Pentagon, and

engineering the crash of the economy in order to realize their vision

of a Machiavellian hell on earth where they rule and the superstitious

masses, infused with coarse nationalism and religion, are expected to

follow.

 

Of course, they are insane and will ultimately destroy the planet.

 

However, one must ask, are we insane as well to let them get away with it?
