Can Obama keep the corruption going?
Today’s post is based on anthropological theorizing. Even though we are drawing from anthropology and not the hidden history today, we are not just larking around in a false worldview, today’s post is a serious analysis. In fact, we surprised ourself with the accuracy of our analysis and will be developing some implications of our conclusions in future posts.
If you have studied anthropology, you have probably come across the idea of the “big man” operating in many traditional societies. The “big man” does not arise in every society, but he arises in a large number of societies and serves as a model for anthropological theorizing about development toward the powerful state. The “big man” draws a number of helpers to himself, stimulates extra labor toward economic production, then shares this surplus with his society in a great feast. Most societies with “big men” have severe restrictions on the big man’s consumption of these extra resources. In fact, many big men are incentivized to restrict consumption among their immediate followers so that more surplus production can be distributed widely, thereby inflating his public standing.
Now let’s apply anthropology to our “big man,” President Obama. President Obama attempts to inflate his reputation by redistribution, and he gets votes by making promises to redistribute wealth. But the significant difference between Obama and the tribal “big men” is that they first stimulated extra production. Obama doesn’t stimulate production. In fact his policies discourage production. So big man Obama is only a redistributor. He redistributes without stimulating wealth-creation.
The interesting question is how long Obama can continue to redistribute other people’s wealth. Let’s make it clear, the redistribution is from white male wealth to women, Negroes, and Hispanics. Obama’s agenda is black power, government control of whitey and the legalized theft of whitey’s money. The money goes into the pockets of corrupt black Democratic politicians, the government bureaucracies, and enough services and subsidies and transfer payments to keep his radical supporters bought.
We assume that more and more whites are waking up to the criminal theft and racial discrimination agenda, but we don’t believe that opposition will reach critical mass, enough to stop the looting and the socialist takeover.
Now, about the healthcare takeover.
Let’s say that you wanted to reorganize the distribution of medical care in contemporary America. We would approach the project by first making an assessment of medical care resources. We would interview suppliers about the possibility of increasing production. We would ask their advice about reorganization proposals. We would make projections about future medical productivity, and we would try to figure out how to stimulate more future productivity. We would make a cost/benefit analysis.
But Obama’s healthcare takeover isn’t based on an assessment of present and future productive capacity. It is based on government subsidies combined with taxation. No corporation could afford to organize a project as poorly as the Democrats organized the healthcare takeover if they really wanted to succeed in delivering more medical care.
Obama’s takeover assumes that the present system will function with the same efficiency or improved efficiency as his government applies monetary incentives and disincentives to the medical economy differently in the future. This is a very bad assumption because people behave differently under socialism. Those with the most resources flee from the system. Those with the fewest resources attempt to gain the most from their subsidies. Socialism removes wealth and increases demand.
This is not a formula for success, meaning sustained functioning with greater efficiency and improved service. By ignoring the supply side, Obama becomes a one-sided “big man,” merely a redistributor and a controller. Moreover, his party is not devoted to restricting their own consumption. Democrats will consistently continue to vote for Democrats even when they have been exposed as criminals.
We are not the first person to point out that ignoring production and promoting consumption swamps the system. In fact, the Cloward-Piven strategy for Communist takeover advocates swamping. Swamping leads to crisis. The Left creates the crisis and strategizes about how to increase its power from crisis. In the case of the healthcare takeover, the Left has decided to push the economy further into crisis by stimulating consumption without stimulating production.
But Obama’s plan is a little more clever than that because it takes in revenue first and delays any service increases until later years. In other words, he bought himself time.
By pursuing this strategy the Left is able to increase its power, at least temporarily. But to preserve their power they need to fool the naive into believing that redistribution without economic surplus can continue into the future. There are two main problems with this strategy. First, the amount of the redistribution is small for any particular person, even though the total amount of the redistribution is large. The danger here is that Obama’s supporters will not be satisfied with small increases in consumption, or the same levels of consumption they enjoyed pre-Obama. In other words, the socialist dupes might figure out that he has overpromised and underdelivered and lose their enthusiasm for his future promises. But that is quite a ways away in the future. People who think they are getting something are not going to abandon socialism just because it suppresses economic productivity, passes costs to future generations, and rations healthcare. Many socialists want seniors to die off faster if they can get healthcare at reduced cost.
The second problem is static or declining productivity. The U.S. economy is not set up to grow at a maximum productive rate. Free trade agreements favor offshoring jobs to capture the profit resulting from lower wage costs. Higher taxes tamp down demand. High debt levels divert capital from productive investment. Most importantly, the banks are saddled with low-quality debt, and debt defaults cut their profits. A variety of incentives keep banks from lending and hence funding future productivity.
In simple terms, the mortgage industry has not been reformed, the real estate crisis has not been solved, and bad debt has not been repudiated. The federal government continues to bail out the mortgage lenders Fannie and Freddie, so that even less money is available for productive investment. Meanwhile, entitlement deficits loom as a spectre that threatens the functioning of the economy.
Obama’s fundamental error was in pursuing medical redistribution without reforming the institutions that were responsible for the financial crisis or stimulating the medical supply side. That is why he is not a true “big man,” he’s just another socialist with a racial discrimination agenda according to the formula, black radical, feminist, homosexual, and Hispanic votes will outnumber white votes.
Of course, socialists are never true “big men” because they attempt to take power and increase power based on promises of future consumption that they almost never deliver. Moreover, the socialists never restrict the consumption of their immediate circle of followers but instead encourage graft and corruption so that the elite circle is enriched quickly. Socialism is a “grab and run” criminal enterprise, as is elite capitalism. Arguing for one side or another is really a fool’s game. Both the socialists and the elite global capitalists consider people below them on the power pyramid as cattle to be manipulated.
The true fools are expecting increased consumption, but this can only occur for a short time. The time line of interest is how fast people desert the present medical system (or leave the United States) versus the ability of the U.S. government to issue new debt and raise revenue. The smarter, wealthier people are leaving the United States and the failing Democratic-ruled states such as California and New York. Obama needs a new revenue stream to fund his shaky ship. There are pockets of wealth available to be stolen, and any economic growth in the United States can be siphoned off to the government. Real productivity growth seems unlikely without the repeal of free trade agreements and a resumption of bank lending. It is difficult to calculate the time line of collapse, but we are figuring that Obama has many more years of flim-flam and accounting tricks to buy time and consolidate his takeover. Meanwhile, the healthcare system should be able to provide enough benefits to keep his followers satisfied.
That does not mean that his supporters will uniformly benefit. Even if you ride along with socialism for a period of time, eventually the economy declines so drastically that the old levels of consumption cannot be maintained. As this occurs, the control mechanism switches from false promises to police state requirements for conformity and obedience. Some of these police state requirements are written into the present health care bill, and many others are in place.
Obama is smart enough to increase the police state controls now, before consumption falls so drastically that his followers wake up and desert him. So the real calculus of his success is not going to be the productive economy and debt issuance but how long he can get the police and the military to support him. The answer is, they will support him just as long as he increases their consumption with subsidies.
The time line of competing trends falls along two dimensions. How long can Obama’s socialist state continue to dispense subsidies to its supporters now that many nations and many individual states, including the United States government, have nearly reached the limits of new debt issuance? This time line plays out in the news as stories reporting debt-issuance crisis and stories reporting job cuts in government bureaucracies, followed by protest marches. Basically, the shift will be from subsidizing education to subsidizing doctors and nurses.
We warned you in previous posts not to tie your future to a government job. It is a losing strategy unless you are an elite criminal insider.
The second time line of interest is the formation of pockets of resistance by those who understand that socialism destroys wealth, overspends, overpromises, and must resort to more police state control to keep people functioning within the system they have taken over. These developments are reported, if they are reported, in the news as resistance-formation countered by police and regulatory actions. Hate-speech laws are the main new method of intimidating white people who speak out, but a series of presidential directives has enclosed the local police into a national system of federal control.
In other words, the dynamic of interest is how fast Obama can continue to buy supporters with false promises of future overconsumption versus the ability of those who recognize him as a false “big man” to organize for resistance or escape. We insist that this timeline favors Obama’s socialist takeover.
A third line of interest is how much Democrats will be able to get away with looting their various treasuries versus the time line of debt implosion leading to economic collapse.
We are betting on the successful implementation of the police state. The way the Democrats have taken over healthcare indicates they are not serious about stimulating production or even working with the productive sectors of the medical economy. The series of scandals associated with this particular bill indicates an audacious power-grab, not a rational program of reform.
The timing is perfect because the socialists need to kill off the retiring baby boom generation to compensate for granting healtcare subsidies to the coloreds and the women. Look for a flood of propaganda in the days ahead about “dying with dignity” and assisted suicide as a moral act.
Legal resistance will not remedy the takeover. The Republicans will sue in the courts, introduce reform bills in the Congress, and try to recruit more Republicans. This is wasted effort. You can’t beat a Marxist takeover with Parliamentary democracy. You can only beat them with an army. There are too many traitors willing to be bought. Remember, the masses are not smart, and appeals to self-interest are successful.
The Democrats can take over the economy faster than people can organize against them and escape from them. They have three big trends working in their favor: the feminist takeover of the law and the pacification of white males, the desire of blacks and Hispanics for more handouts, and the homosexual takeover of many industries and now, the mass culture.
White males have lost their cultural heritage and their identity. They are socialist slaves, and the healthcare takeover seals their bad fate.
The police state will mop up any white male resistance.
Of all the possible Marxist pseudo-societies, this one is the strangest. One would think, you can’t organize a Marxist pseudosociety composed of feminists, blacks, gays, and Hispanics. These people are not smart, and they don’t have anything in common. But this queer coalition can function long enough on the accumulated wealth and credit of the productive economy to exterminate the last white male.
And there is your anthropology lesson for today.
We are using an example from anthropology in today’s post even though all the anthropologists voted for the socialist takeover and generally suffer from worldview blindness. If Obama cuts the subsidies to anthropologists, some might wake up and join us, but people are not going to move until they feel the economic pinch. Anyway, today’s flirtation with anthropology is just a one-time event. You can’t depend on anthropology for a long-term commitment, she’s taken over by Marxism and not dependendable. We will explain the many fallacies in anthropology in a future post.
The healthcare takeover is a key event cementing the future of the New World Order. There isn’t going to be any important resistance. The correct response is now flight. But we will address resistance faultlines in future posts, just because some of you have a little hope left.
Amateurs should not undertake the study of anthropology without first understanding how it fits into the history of the globalist takeover. If you go in the anthropology cesspool unarmed, you will encounter a lot of slime and misshapen monsters named Malthus, Marx, Darwin, Spencer, Boas, Benedict, Mead, and Bateson. The exits to sunshine are not marked, and you can’t count on us to send a young knight in after you.
