Naomi Klein's New Book A Lightning Rod

I have a strong suspicion, almost a conviction, that, after having used the rights of unlimited capital creation to take control of the Earth's resources, the real ruling class is going to push the world into a major economic crash, which will give them the opportunity to establish a worldwide, corporate dictatorship, with the desperate humanity begging for it.

Economic depressions are usually the best breeding grounds for dictatorships.

If NoLogo is anything to go by this will be a good read.

I'm replying to my own reply! I'm so cool! Actually I don't think she really needed 70 pages of notes, I've heard the IMF's policies referred to as shock therapy. I think it was Greg Palast who called them that. He was one of Milton Friedman's MBA students incidentally.

One can only long for the bolt to hit a few deserving despots.

Vit Wagner wrote: "<i>The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism</i>, a painstakingly detailed analysis of how corporations manipulate natural and manmade disasters ...</i>".<br> <br> "A corporation is a fiction, by definition, ...", according to Patrick Healy in a statement <a href="http://cmte.parl.gc.ca/cmte/CommitteePublication.aspx?COM=222&SourceId=15922&SwitchLanguage=1">here</a> to Parliament's Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights in 2002.<br> <br> "A corporation is a 'fiction' as it has no separate existence, no physical body and no 'mind' ", according to Joanne Klineberg in a presentation <a href="http://www.tc.gc.ca/civilaviation/systemsafety/cass/2004/klineberg.htm">here</a> to the Canadian Aviation Safety Seminar in 2004.

The despots I was speaking of are the ones we keep in business with our
doltish-consumption.

Blacks Law Dictionary – Revised 4th Edition 1968, provides a more comprehensive definition as follows … <br />
<br />
Capitis Diminutio (meaning the diminishing of status through the use of capitalization) – In Roman law. A diminishing or abridgment of personality; a loss or curtailment of a man’s status or aggregate of legal attributes and qualifications. <br />
<br />
Capitis Diminutio Minima (meaning a minimum loss of status through the use of capitalization, e.g. John Doe) - The lowest or least comprehensive degree of loss of status. This occurred where a man’s family relations alone were changed. It happened upon the arrogation of a person who had been his own master, (sui juris,) [of his own right, not under any legal disability] or upon the emancipation of one who had been under the patria potestas. [Parental authority] It left the rights of liberty and citizenship unaltered. See Inst. 1, 16, pr.; 1, 2, 3; Dig. 4, 5, 11; Mackeld. Rom.Law, 144. <br />
<br />
Capitis Diminutio Media (meaning a medium loss of status through the use of capitalization, e.g. John DOE) – A lessor or medium loss of status. This occurred where a man loses his rights of citizenship, but without losing his liberty. It carried away also the family rights. <br />
<br />
Capitis Diminutio Maxima (meaning a maximum loss of status through the use of capitalization, e.g. JOHN DOE or DOE JOHN) – The highest or most comprehensive loss of status. This occurred when a man’s condition was changed from one of freedom to one of bondage, when he became a slave. It swept away with it all rights of citizenship and all family rights. <br />
<br />
Diminutio. – Lat. In civil law. Diminution; a taking away; loss or depravation. <br />
<br />
Capite. - Lat. By the head. <br />
<br />
As Black’s Law Dictionary explains, the full capitalization of the letters of one’s natural name, results in a diminishing or complete loss of legal or citizenship status, wherein one actually becomes a slave or an item of inventory. The method by which the State causes a natural person to "volunteer" himself into slavery, is through forming legal joinder, implied or stated, with the entity or legal fiction (name all CAPS). Of course, most natural persons wouldn’t willingly form such an unlawful but legally reductionist joinder, so trickery and obfuscation are used. The initial joinder is formed when a legal Birth Certificate is issued by the State, name in all CAPS. In fact, both the Certificate of Birth AND Social Security number, are for "inventory" control purposes, similar to the Amistad Schooner’s manifest or those numbers or records used by legal entities or Corporations to track, account for, use and dispose of inventory. It is under the Admiralty jurisdiction Terri Schiavo’s fate was determined, and under this alien fictional jurisdiction many of today’s legal or other fictional entities such as "gay marriages" are fabricated. Commensurate with color of law, they appear to "be," but they are not. Indeed, under common law and the American Constitution, "gay marriage" is unlawful and an oxymoron (contradiction). This, no legal maneuver can change. <br />
<br />
Whereas one may have legal recourse in a Corporate or Admiralty Court, no lawful or moral remedy will be found. Administrative directives of the legal tribunal or Admiralty jurisdiction, while having the color or appearance of law, may be legal but are in fact unlawful due to the nature or status of the Court’s origin, which is predicated upon fiction. Admiralty Courts are in effect vastly inferior to the intentions and authority of those who founded the American Constitutional Republic. When searching America today, one would be hard pressed to locate an authentic Constitutional or Common law Court. This unlawful condition prevails in both Canada and the United States. A serious breech of Constitutional fidelity surfaced recently, when it was discovered Judges in Oregon were not properly sworn to uphold the Oregon Constitution and therefore were acting without Constitutional authority. The Courts and Judges in question, therefore, represent an alien power or entity. <br />
