Neoliberal Shock Doctrine Is Genocidal Ecocide (SitRep #2)

There Is Only One Possible Explanation for the Denial, Dithering and maliciously scripted paralysis by which our Capitalist masters are relentlessly sabotaging every effort to counter the economic and environmental Apocalypse now so obviously upon us.

The moral imbeciles of the totalitarian cabal we know as the One Percent are after all the de facto emperors of the world.  Their shock-doctrine strategy and tactics are obvious both in their obscenely profitable exploitation of the climate crisis and their sadistic intensification of Neoliberal socioeconomic and political savagery. That is why their relentless combination of environmental obstructionism and genocide by austerity¹ declares their true intent despite the effluent of euphemisms, lies and disinformation by which they try to conceal it.²

Already they are building personal strongholds and raising private armies to assure their post-apocalyptic dominance. Clearly they believe the brutality enabled by their wealth and technological superiority nullifies our vastly greater numbers. Their dictates prove they intend to exterminate nearly all the 99 Percent and enslave the few of us who survive. Such is their serial-killer scheme to elevate themselves and their descendants to what they imagine will be eternal omnipotence in a post-apocalyptic neo-feudal world.

 

Will these corporate Ted Bundys triumph? They are infinitely more powerful -- and infinitely more evil in the damage they inflict³ -- than any despots who have preceded them on our species' paths of infamy. They have  convinced themselves they can manipulate environmental and economic disaster into weapons to assure their own exclusive preservation. As I said in my situation report of 17 March 2019,  to view our future as it is being dictated by the One Percenters, we need only visit the nearest encampment of homeless people. 

But our masters' misogynistic contempt for Nature blinds them to the fact she alone is the  ultimate decider.  Therein lies our sole advantage. Yet even now -- while there may yet be time to save ourselves by compliance with environmental necessity -- too many of us seem eerily unable to grasp that our only alternatives are survival through internationally cooperative socialism or extinction by continuing surrender to the Capitalist status quo. 

What follows are additional examples of the most terrifying crisis in our species' entire 250,000-year history. These are underscored by yet more proof of the One Percent's definitively  response -- a revelation so taboo only one other English-language writer dares even suggest it. I update it here -- hopefully with maximum provocation -- as often as new disclosures and developments require.

²An especially useful guide to seeing through the euphemisms by which our masters try to hide their murderous intent.
³Pope Francis' denunciation of capitalism as "dung of the Devil, relevant too as compelling evidence of the apocalyptic and probably terminal schism dividing Christendom into two increasingly hostile camps, oft-violent Prosperity Gospel Nazis versus typically pacifist Liberation Theology humanitarians, the latter -- like Pope Francis himself -- also struggling to transcend the patriarchal misogyny and hatefulness at the core of Abrahamic doctrine whether Judaic, Christian or Islamic.

Some immediately useful references -- books by writers to whom I am forever grateful -- include: Naomi Klein (The Shock Doctrine: the Rise of Disaster Capitalism; Metropolitan Books: 2007); Chris Hedges (American Fascists: the Christian Right and the War on America; Free Press: 2006);  Kevin Phillips (American Theocracy: the Peril and Politics of Radical Religion, Oil and Borrowed Money in the 21st Century; Viking: 2006); Jeff Sharlet (The Family: the Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power; Harper: 2008). Relevant texts of resistance to which I am also indebted -- each a vital step toward revolution -- include The Great Cosmic Mother: Rediscovering the Religion of the Earth (Monica Sjöö and Barbara Mor; Harper San Francisco: 1987) and Marx's Ecology: Materialism and Nature (John Bellamy Foster; Monthly Review Press: 2000). 

Yes, dear readers, this is the new format gradually taking shape.

Parting thought: Some of us must surely  recognize the Shock-Doctrine dynamics evident in the U.S. epidemic of mass murder. The epidemic requires no conspiratorial momentum beyond the deadly toxin of Neoliberalism itself; it is the entirely predictable (and therefore presumably Shock-Doctrine-deliberate) product of the rat-maze-tested rage and alienation spawned by a society that defines humans as nothing more than animations of wealth or poverty.  And now -- just as we the people face an intensifying outburst of hate crime that looks as if it might never stop expanding --  the Shock Doctrine dictates  the deceptively titled and now-probably unstoppable forcible civilian disarmament movement,  thus to manipulate our fear, horror and ignorance into the frightened throw-down-your-weapons-and-run helplessness that facilitates and embraces our overlords' Shock-Doctrine plans to imprison us forever in mandatory pacifism and zero-tolerance compulsory victimhood.
