Unraveling a fraction of clear shock doctrine experiences during fiercely divisive and turbulent times! The rich and powerful populists continues to use moments of crisis (natural disasters, economic failures, 0% mutual trust, uprisings or revolts, ideological conflicts, war / violence) to force political changes on countries and communities whose citizenry would resist those changes in times of peace, prosperity and stability. Blatant lies with plausible deniability (jumla) is a cognitive trait of most populist leaders and hoarders now-a-days, milking blindly for its unicorns. Though as a natural immune response, most animals shut eyes for few moments while confronting any visible shock – so are polity cats!
Over the years, the Forbes lists of billionaires are only brimming over with more oligarchs, monopolists, thugs, miscreants, deal-makers, and hustlers. Not to mention loot-wingers, narcissists, and parasitic predators – only things missing are the fishy kings of drug, sports and war lords, whose assets are evidently too hard to calculate. There are hundreds of garden-variety jerks to choose from.
On elite white-collar criminals getting away scot-free, Mr. N Murthy of Infosys in 2011 has bemoaned that elite were going unpunished though they commit huge crimes, saw it as problem reacting to large-scale economic criminals and said there should be quick investigations based on data and facts, and media should not play it in AI way or highway entertainment! Many had called for very heavy punishment to commensurate with benefits that corrupt had gained.
He made the comments responding to questions from the media after a panel discussion on entrepreneurship and social change organised by Indian School of Business at Infosys Hyderabad campus in Dec 2011. He did not discuss specific remarks, coming at a time when anti-graft movements had dominated the political landscape. Several big businesses & leaders had emphasized the need to enforce code of ethics irrespective of size or capital base, possibly assuming all the godfather govt agencies had either revamped and cleaned or soon will be?
Whether there are scams or not its extremely important to run your business legally and ethically. That’s the only way to run the business, absolutely mandatory to follow code of ethics. Its like saying: should I follow the rules of the road when I am driving. Its good for you, good for others, for everybody.
Those inspired here could turn into power addicts, starting out with altruistic notions of reform and then seduced, or defeated, by the existing power structure. Understanding power can just as easily lead to seeking it for personal reasons, same as everyone else, as it’s for altruistic reasons. With great power comes great responsibility, but only in a game space without visible justice. The abstract people we hold in mind as the ones for whom we fight and suffer can become a wavering image that doesn’t match the apathetic cattle we are appealing to. And then we see the methods of opponents the most clearly – methods that have worked all down throughout history.
Patent corruption is a new game replacing MRTP for example, helping clamp down on emerging competition, general adversaries and critics. If any non-aligned startup or community grows too successful, it’ll be accused of violating one or more patents or codes belonging to larger rivals closer to power centers, green to launch state-sponsored missiles or drones, ban or nip it in the bud, viking!
So, coining terms like “financial terrorism” and “propaganda trafficking”, as capitalistic yields of systemic corruption (an overused word) for saffron hands, silver spoons and white gloves! Change is now irreversible and expensive after such huge investments into Digital Brainwash and AI deception infra – only options left are war, mutual destruction and supremacy of dark matter!
