Perfect timing P6. This ambitious notion came into my newsreader from a peak oil list last night. As a relatively feeble student of American history, I thought I might submit it for cursory review and feedback here. Among other claims made at Homo Sapiens Americanus is the following;

The elite are force vectors in the American ecosystem. The forces they exert act over time, over many force vectors, slowly, to serve their own best interests. And not having the true history of America brought to the fore serves their interests.

THe rest of my documentary touches on ideas that many of you here already know about: the struggle between capital and labor that the elite seek to obscure; the development of propaganda tools to mold the culture over time; the economic propaganda.

However, the last part of my documentary will deal with how the elite diverted American leftism away from a broad based economics based leftism, and into an identity politics based leftism; one that made the blue collar white male the scapegoat for the race crimes of the elite, and one that inculcates a dislike, even a hatred of the blue collar whites into the "liberal" fauxleft political philosophy.

This seems to have started after WW2 with the CIA. No doubt many leftists know how the CIA created false front leftism in other countries after WW2, the better to thwart the rise of socialism.

Well, they did the same thing here in America: they diverted leftism into identity politics by funding leftists who thought in terms of identity politics, in terms of gender, race, sexuality.

Purported scope of the undertaking;

1: Dominance and Submission in Animals and Humans (uploaded)
2: White Slavery in Colonial America (uploaded)
3: Division of the Races by Colonial Elites
4: Black Slavery & the Founding Fathers
5: The Constitution: For the Elite, by the Elite
6: Capital vs Labor: The Struggle
7: Elite War Machine Propaganda
8: Elite Economics Propaganda
9: Identity Politics: The Ultimate Elite Strategy
10:Ideological Cattle: American Culture as Evolved by Elite Forces

I might not have a beef with the writer over there. Depends on how he handles it...I know I could write something similar.

Which brings me back to Gelernter...,

Do you consider the traditional societal force vectors to be in a state of palpable, albeit temporary uncertainty?

I consider the means entirely up in the air and somewhat out of traditional control. The question of means is largely open to scrutiny. OTOH, the intended ends, about which I can only speculate, also seem a tad uncertain at this juncture.

David Gelernter's entire article turns on a fallacy: the false notion that universities are bastions of liberalism. Any progressive African American who has worked at a college or university (I am now at my fourth institution since the seventies) knows this is a myth. Part of the problem has to do with how he defines liberalism. He doesn’t. And given the fascist ethos that pervades this country, a liberal now should be defined as one who offers you a drink before he lynches you. The term is as meaningless and empty as Gerlernter’s column. If this is what he writes about routinely, his absence should go unnoticed except by the hopelessly brain dead or brainwashed.

Every now and then something causes a disruption to the fluxion of the matrix and the glitch reveals the machinery, and the emperor in his beastial nakedness, and the faces of his henchmen and women bathed in the blood of their victims, but then there is a sudden flicker, the channel changes, desperate housewives cavort across the screen, someone scores a touchdown, the pizzaman delivers, the dopeman drops a dime, and the balance is restored.

ahem, amen...thanks easy-O. ya naileded it.

So the article was about use of the web. The same web giving the MPAA and the RIAA fits about now. The same web giving corporate and military security functionaries fits about now. The same web that enables me to effortlessly communicate with you and tap newsfeeds from Al-Jazeera and Asia Times. The same web that has drawn together from the masses a population of hackers many of whom are religiously dedicated to a paradigm at odds with traditional societal force vectors.

Who might you identify as the oppositional cultural equivalent to hackers during a previous historical juncture? Seems to me that the traditional force vectors have given rise to a not inconsequential group comprising the sum of the remainder of an unbalanced equation inherent to the programming of the matrix...,

ahem, amen...thanks easy-O. ya naileded it.

As my mentor Mr. Dixon is wont to say, it's past time for the preachers, lawyers, politicians, celebrities, and academicians to lead.., now is the moment for the technologists, and if we fail, so also will the mass, fail...,

He defines liberalism, O.  He defines it as the prevailing view from universities.

Indeed it's a vague term (as is conservatism), but, generally, universities are more comfortable with th epower of government, which they feel they can control, as opposed to the power of money, which flows to opportunity and thus is harder to control, and frequently has effects which are seen as inferior.

They share this perspective with most mainstream media.  A view that government should control the flow of money as a means to achieve desired goals.

Cyberspace is far more comfortable with analyzing the unimpeded flow of money, and providing lessons learned as education, such that productive people can and will be able to get sufficient money for themselves, and pass some of it along in ways which move others into being able to collect their own. Controlling the flow of money seems not only hard in this context, but generally undesirable. Money flows in quite optimal ways all by itself, there are very few opportunities to increase it.  There are plenty of ways to dam it up, but they all have the effect or reducing the flow, which yields less money for everyone.

Nothing to do with lynching.
