Hegelian Dialectic
Hegelian Dialectic
In 1847 the London Communist League (Karl Marx and Frederick Engels) used Hegel's theory of the dialectic to back up their economic theory of communism. Now, in the 21st century, Hegelian-Marxist thinking affects our entire social and political structure. The Hegelian dialectic is the framework for guiding our thoughts and actions into conflicts that lead us to a predetermined solution. If we do not understand how the Hegelian dialectic shapes our perceptions of the world, then we do not know how we are helping to implement the vision. When we remain locked into dialectical thinking, we cannot see out of the box. Hegel's dialectic is the tool which manipulates us into a frenzied circular pattern of thought and action. Every time we fight for or defend against an ideology we are playing a necessary role in Marx and Engels' grand design to advance humanity into a dictatorship of the proletariat. The synthetic Hegelian solution to all these conflicts can't be introduced unless we all take a side that will advance the agenda. The Marxist's global agenda is moving along at breakneck speed. The only way to completely stop the privacy invasions, expanding domestic police powers, land grabs, insane wars against inanimate objects (and transient verbs), covert actions, and outright assaults on individual liberty, is to step outside the dialectic. This releases us from the limitations of controlled and guided thought. When we understand what motivated Hegel, we can see his influence on all of our destinies. ... Hegelian conflicts steer every political arena on the planet, from the United Nations to the major American political parties, all the way down to local school boards and community councils. Dialogues and consensusbuilding are primary tools of the dialectic, and terror and intimidation are also acceptable formats for obtaining the goal. The ultimate Third Way agenda is world government. Once we get what's really going on, we can cut the strings and move our lives in original directions outside the confines of the dialectical madness. Focusing on Hegel's and Engel's ultimate agenda, and avoiding getting caught up in their impenetrable theories of social evolution, gives us the opportunity to think and act our way toward freedom, justice, and genuine liberty for all. Today the dialectic is active in every political issue that encourages taking sides. We can see it in environmentalists instigating conflicts against private property owners, in democrats against republicans, in greens against libertarians, in communists against socialists, in neo-cons against traditional conservatives, in community activists against individuals, in pro-choice versus pro-life, in Christians against Muslims, in isolationists versus interventionists, in peace activists against war hawks. No matter what the issue, the invisible dialectic aims to control both the conflict and the resolution of differences, and leads everyone involved into a new cycle of conflicts. We're definitely not in Kansas anymore. For a visual concept, see this simple chart [page now deleted] of the Hegelian Dialectic and Marx's Dialectical Materialism, posted by the Calverton Private School.
Definitions: Merriam-Webster: "Dialectic ....the Hegelian process of change in which a concept or its realization passes over
into and is preserved and fulfilled by its opposite... development through the stages of thesis, antithesis, and synthesis in accordance with the laws of dialectical materialism ....any systematic reasoning, exposition, or argument that juxtaposes opposed or contradictory ideas and usually seeks to resolve their conflict ... ....the dialectical tension or opposition between two interacting forces or elements." "Dialectical Materialism ... 1 : the Marxist theory that maintains the material basis of a reality constantly changing in a dialectical process and the priority of matter over mind." Wikipedia: "Hegel's dialectic often appears broken up for convenience into three moments called "thesis" (in the French historical example, the revolution), "antithesis" (the terror which followed), and "synthesis" (the constitutional state of free citizens). ... Much Hegel scholarship does not recognize the usefulness of this triadic classification for shedding light on Hegel's thought. Although Hegel refers to "the two elemental considerations: first, the idea of freedom as the absolute and final aim; secondly, the means for realising it, i.e. the subjective side of knowledge and will, with its life, movement, and activity" (thesis and antithesis) he doesn't use "synthesis" but instead speaks of the "Whole": "We then recognised the State as the moral Whole and the Reality of Freedom, and consequently as the objective unity of these two elements." ... "Hegel used this system of dialectics to explain the whole of the history of philosophy, science, art, politics and religion, but many modern critics point out that Hegel often seems to gloss over the realities of history in order to fit it into his dialectical mold.... In the 20th century, Hegel's philosophy underwent a major renaissance. This was due partly to the rediscovery and reevaluation of him as the philosophical progenitor of Marxism by philosophically oriented Marxists, partly through a resurgence of the historical perspective that Hegel brought to everything, and partly through increasing recognition of the importance of his dialectical method. The book that did the most to reintroduce Hegel into the Marxist canon was perhaps Georg Lukacs's History and Class Consciousness. This sparked a renewed interest in Hegel reflected in the work of Herbert Marcuse, Theodor Adorno, Ernst Bloch.... "Beginning in the 1960's, Anglo-American Hegel scholarship has attempted to challenge the traditional interpretation of Hegel as offering a metaphysical system." See Popular Occultism
The Hegelian dialectical formula: A (thesis) versus B (anti-thesis) equals C (synthesis). For example: If (A) my idea of freedom conflicts with (B) your idea of freedom then (C) neither of us can be free until everyone agrees to be a slave. The Soviet Union was based on the Hegelian dialectic, as is all Marxist writing. The Soviets didn't give up their Hegelian reasoning when they supposedly stopped being a communist country. They merely changed the dialectical language to fit into the modern version of Marxist thinking called communitarianism. American author Steve Montgomery explores Moscow's adept use of the Hegelian dialectic in Glasnost-Perestroika: A Model Potemkin Village.
How is it possible to consider a Hegelian argument? If the ideas, interpretations of experiences, and the sources are all wrong, can a conclusion based on all these wrong premises be sound? The answer is no. Two false premises do not make a sound conclusion even if the argument follows the formula. Three, four, five, or six false premises do not all combine to make a conclusion sound. You must have at least one sound premise to reach a sound conclusion. Logical mathematical formulas are only the basis for deductive reasoning. Equally important is knowledge of semantics, or considering the meanings of the words used in the argument. Just because an argument fits the formula, it does not necessarily make the conclusion sound. Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel knew this when he designed his dialectic. Hegel is an imperialist con artist who established the principles of dialectical "no-reason." Hegel's dialectic
has allowed globalists to lead simple, capable, freeborn men and women back into the superstitious, racist and unreasonable age of imperial global dominance. National governments represent people who are free from imperial controls over private property, trade and production. National governments protect their workers from imperial slavery by protecting the worker's markets. But if you use Hegel's logical Marxism, the only way to protect people from slavery is to become the slave trader, just for a while. Twisted logic is why cons are so successful, and Hegel twisted it in such a way as to be "impenetrable." Like Hegel and Marx, the best street con knows his spiel has to use logic to bend and distort the story, and good cons weave their lies on logical mathematical progression. The fallacy is in the language, not in the math. Detective Phillip Worts' 2001 article Communist Oriented Policing is a nice explanation of Dialectical Materialism's influence on America.
The communitarian purpose for the Hegelian dialectic Hegel's theory is basically that mankind is merely a series of constant philosophical conflicts. Hegel was an idealist who believed that the highest state of mankind can only be attained through constant ideological conflict and resolution. The rules of the dialectic means mankind can only reach its highest spiritual consciousness through endless self-perpetuating struggle between ideals, and the eventual synthesizing of all opposites. Hegel's dialectic taught all conflict takes man to the next spiritual level. But in the final analysis, this ideology simply justifies conflict and endless war. It is also the reasoning behind using military power to export an illogical version of freedom and false democratic ideals. The reason we can call it the justification for modern conflicts and war, with impunity, is because no one can prove Hegel's theory is true. No matter how many new words they make up to define it, or how many new theories they come up with to give it validity, we can prove beyond a doubt that it is all false. And, we can show the final equation in Hegels' Dialectic is: A: The [your nation goes here] System of Political Economy (List 1841) B: state controlled world communism C: state controlled global communitarianism. The Hegelian dialectic is the ridiculous idea that constant conflict and continual merging of opposite ideologies, as established by extreme right or left belief systems, will lead spiritual mankind into final perfection. (Americans understood man's spiritual quests to be outside the realm of government control). Hegel's brilliance rests in his ability to confuse and obfuscate the true motives of the planners, and millions of people world-wide have been trying to make sense of why it doesn't work for over 150 years. But like the AA definition of insanity, the world keeps trying it over and over expecting different results. ... When Frederick Engels and Karl Marx based their communist theory on Hegel's theory of spiritual advancement via constant resolution of differences, they based the theory of communism on an unproven theory. While Darwin's theory of evolution is still being debated, there's absolutely no proof that societies are continually evolving. When Engels and Marx later based their communist theory on Lewis Henry Morgan's theory of anthropology in 1877, they again based the theory of communism on an unprovable theory. And when Amitai Etzioni used Hegelian reasoning to base the Communitarian Network on a "balance" between (A) Rights and (B) Responsibilities, he built the entire theory of (C) communitarianism on nothing but disproven and unprovable unscientific theories.... Already gaining substantial ground against the Americans, British Marxism was bolstered when Charles Darwin published his theory of human evolution in 1859. Engels, according to modern day scholars, seized upon Darwin's theory to substantiate communism: "When Marx read The Origin of Species he wrote to Engels that, 'although it is developed in the crude English style, this is the book which contains the basis in natural history for our view.' They turned against what they saw as the social, as opposed to the biological, implications of Darwinism when they realised that it contained no support for their shibboleth of class oppression. Since they were slippery customers rather than scientists, they were not likely to relinquish their views just because something did not fit." (see: Marxism and Darwinism by Anton Pannekoek, 1912.) In 1877 Lewis Henry Morgan published Ancient Society, or Researches in Life, Lines of Human Progress from Savagery, through Barbarism, to Civilization. Then the "slippery" Engels seized upon Morgan's work as
the constantly "evolving" basis for the totally unsubstantiated theory of natural social evolution into utopian world communism.... Hegel's formula has been so successful that in 2003 all U.S. domestic and foreign policy is dominated by "communitarian thinking," the whole country is living under the new laws, and yet Americans most affected by "impenetrable" Hegelian laws have never once heard the term used.
Conclusion: The Hegelian dialectic presupposes the factual basis for the theory of social evolutionary principles, which coincidentally backed up Marx. Marx's Darwinian theory of the "social evolution of the species," (even though it has been used for a century to create a vast new scientific community, including eugenics and socioeconomics), does not adhere to the basis for all good scientific research, and appears to exist mainly to advance itself, and all its sub-socio-scientific arms, as the more moral human science. To the ACL this means the entire basis for the communitarian solution is based on a false premise, because there is no FACTUAL basis that "social evolution of the species" exists, based as it is only on Darwinian and Marxist ideology of man's "natural" evolution towards a British version of utopia. The London-Marxist platform in 1847 was "to abolish private property." The American Revolution was based in private property rights. Marxist societies confiscate wealth and promise to "re-distribute it equally." America promised everyone they could keep and control what was the product of their own labor. Modern Marxist adherents openly claim they will "rebuild the world," and they train activist "change agents" to openly support overthrowing the legitimate governments of the world. Since their inception, Marxist agent provocateurs can be linked to every anarchist assassination and student uprising that caused chaos to the established European civilization throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. Modern Americans have succumbed to the conspiracy theory label and will only listen to what the propaganda machines tell them. Now our people don't believe anyone other than maybe the Arab world "hates our freedom." Most modern Americans will never know what went wrong with their "great experiment in democracy." While the Marxist-communitarian argument has not provided a shred of evidence to prove their utopian vision, and their synthesis does not match their own projected conclusions of world justice, we are convinced their argument does in fact substantiate our conclusion, that the entire philosophical dialectical argument is nothing but a brilliant ruse. We used to call it "a cheap parlor trick" until a responder to this page wondered how we could call it "cheap" when it's been so successful. And he was right. The dialectical arguments for human rights, social equity, and world peace and justice are a perfectly designed diversion in the defeated British Empire's Hegelian-Fabian-Metaphysical-Theosophical Monopoly game. It's the most successful con job in the history of the modern world. (For a well presented Christian overview of the con, see American Babylon: Part Five-the Triumph of the Merchants by Peter Goodgame.) The communitarian synthesis is the final silent move in a well-designed, quietly implemented plot to re-make the world into colonies. To us it doesn't matter if there is some form of ancient religion that propels the plotters, nor does it really matter if it turns out they're aliens (as some suggest). The bottom line is the Hegelian dialectic sets up the scene for state intervention, confiscation, and redistribution in the U.S., and this is against our ENTIRE constitutional based society. The Hegelian dialectic is not a conspiracy theory because the Conspiracy Theory is a fraud. We've all been duped by global elitists who plan to take totalitarian control of all nation's people, property, and produce. Communitarian Plans exist in every corner of the world, and nobody at the local level will explain why there's no national legal avenue to withdraw from the U.N.'s "community" development plans.

The Fabian Society of Australia explains the Hegelian-Marxist Third Way synthesis. "Re-inventing Collectivism: The new Social Democracy" by Mark Latham, Member for Werriwa Third Way Conference, Centre for Applied Economic Research, University of New South Wales, Sydney, 12 July 2001: "Over the past decade, a group of social democrats have moved down the reinvention path. They have developed a distinctive political project, exploring the new institutions and forums of a collective society. In the United States, Bill Clinton called it the Third Way. In Britain, Tony Blair has made it the work of New Labour."
Quotes that validate the ACL thesis that communitarians IS the synthesis in the Hegelian dialectic: "People are living in a snarled-up subset of Marx's thinking, and do not know it. They twist logic to get to conclusions that will suit the current prejudices. They garnish it with a little Christianity or mysticism or whatever, though these play no important part in their world outlook." TRUTH OVERLOOKED: THE LEGACY OF LIST by Gwydion M. Williams (also available via Cal State LA-POLS 426 online reading list.) "The Socialist Alliance programme is the foundation upon which everything else is built, including in time our exact organisational forms and constantly shifting tactics. The programme links our continuous and what should be all-encompassing agitational work with our ultimate aim of a communitarian, or communist, system. Our programme thus establishes the basis for agreed action and is the lodestar, the point of reference, around which the voluntary unity of the Socialist Alliance is built and concretised. Put another way, the programme represents the dialectical unity between theory and practice." [emphasis added] Posted by Weekly Worker 368, January 25 2001. See also: "The transition to the communitarian system" in the same issue of the American Communist Party's Weekly Worker. "The market economics of the Right and the government bureaucracies of the Left have weakened society's connectedness. They have not been effective forums for collective action. For Right-wing politics, this is not much of an issue. It has always believed in the supremacy of individual freedom and individual action. For the Left, however, it is a huge problem. "The old ideologies positioned politics as a struggle for ownership, the historic battle between socialism and capitalism. The Third Way, by contrast, sees politics as an exercise in communitarianism: rebuilding the relationships and social capital between people. It aims to put the social back into social justice. This is an important strategy for combating individualism and generating a sense of collective responsibility in society." Australian Fabian Society, "Re-inventing Collectivism: The new Social Democracy" by Mark Latham, Member for Werriwa Third Way Conference, Centre for Applied Economic Research, University of New South Wales, Sydney, 12 July 2001 "In a passage that is notable for its vagueness, Azevedo says that the CEBs should be the basis for a new communitarianism that rejects the two "bankrupt" models and systems "that are now polarizing the world," capitalism and Marxist socialism. This communitarianism is to be "a dialectical synthesis, a new creation, superimposing itself on thesis and antithesis rather than retrieving them."

"Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain..." Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831) was a 19th century German philosopher and theologist who wrote the Science of Logic in 1812. For many historians, Hegel is "perhaps the greatest of the German idealist philosophers." In 1847 the London Communist League (Marx and Engels, pictured left) used Hegel's theory of the dialectic to back up their economic theory of communism. Now, in the 21st century, Hegelian-Marxist thinking affects our entire social and political structure. The Hegelian dialectic is the framework for guiding our thoughts and actions into conflicts that lead us to a predetermined solution. If we do not understand how the Hegelian dialectic shapes our perceptions of the world, then we do not know how we are helping to implement the vision for the future. Hegel's dialectic is the tool which manipulates us into a frenzied circular pattern of thought and action. Every time we fight for or defend against an ideology we are playing a necessary role in Marx and Engels' grand design to advance humanity into a dictatorship of the proletariat. The synthetic Hegelian solution to all these conflicts can't be introduced unless we all take a side that will advance the agenda.
The Marxist's global agenda is moving along at breakneck speed. The only way to stop land grabs, privacy invasions, expanded domestic police powers, insane wars against inanimate objects (and transient verbs), covert actions, and outright assaults on individual liberty, is to step outside the dialectic. Only then can we be released from the limitations of controlled and guided thought. When we understand what motivated Hegel, we can see his influence on all of our destinies. Then we become real players in the very real game that has been going on for at least 224 years. Hegelian conflicts steer every political arena on the planet, from the United Nations to the major American political parties, all the way down to local school boards and community councils. Dialogues and consensusbuilding are primary tools of the dialectic, and terror and intimidation are also acceptable formats for obtaining the goal.
The ultimate Third Way agenda is world government. Once we get what's really going on, we can cut the strings and move our lives in original directions outside the confines of the dialectical madness. Focusing on Hegel's and Engel's ultimate agenda, and avoiding getting caught up in their impenetrable theories of social evolution, gives us the opportunity to think and act our way toward freedom, justice, and genuine liberty for all. Today the dialectic is active in every political issue that encourages taking sides. We can see it in environmentalists instigating conflicts against private property owners, in democrats against republicans, in greens against libertarians, in communists against socialists, in neo-cons against traditional conservatives, in community activists against individuals, in pro-choice versus pro-life, in Christians against Muslims, in isolationists versus interventionists, in peace activists against war hawks. No matter what the issue, the invisible dialectic aims to control both the conflict and the resolution of
differences, and leads everyone involved into a new cycle of conflicts. We're definitely not in Kansas anymore.
derstanding of nature, and that civil law was bound by the rules of natural law. The realization of U.S. laws and citizen's inalienable rights to individual freedom were attained via both the belief in a Creator and purely scientific, rational thinking. The most commonly used formula for reasoning is called Modus Ponens: If A and B both exist, it's probable that C exists if it is a combination of A and B. For example: (A) 1 + (B) 1 = (C) 2. Or: If (A) I live in a country where everyone is free under God's laws, and (B) you live in my country, then (C) we're both free under God's laws.
3. How the Hegelian dialectic changed the formula for deductive reasoning
The original method of deductive logic based its premises on the presense of agreed upon truths which led to an otherwise unknowable conclusion. Hegel altered deductive reasoning from a simple 1 + 1 = 2 formula to a series of progressive triads where two opposite premises combine into a synthesis, and then each synthesis becomes the premise in the next triad, and on and on it goes (where it ends, nobody knows). He established that history follows a "logical" progression through the dialectical process of constant conflict between extremely different ideas that keep blending together, over and over, forming new ideas that keep merging and blending again and again, until mankind realizes perfection in philosphy. Most importantly (to us) is that "Hegel's version puts all of the emphasis on the collective expression of
what is best for the people rather than on each individual's capacity to discover it for herself or himself" (Kemerling 2002). Hegel took logic to the next logical level, in what many consider to be a higher intellectual level, claiming an (A) ideology conflicting with its (B) opposite ideology = (C) a new and sometimes better philosophy. The dialectic pits A against B in a constant conflict and resolution, which eventually creates an outcome that may or may not have any resemblance to A and B. According to modern social scientists, C does not have to be a reasonable conclusion, since Hegel's dialectic takes pure reason out of the reasoning. If you don't get it, that means you got it, because anything arrived at using Hegel's "logic" doesn't have to make any sense. Here is a quote from Bertrand Russell on the end of rational thinking. The dialectical method of reasoning is based on the premise of constant conflicts of opposites, or ongoing tension between two or more commonly acknowledged truths. Good versus evil is the most commonly understood dialectic. In Hegel's version it is through our understanding of what is evil that we are able to understand what is even better than good. Hegel's dialectic was an inward discovery of being versus nothing. This method changed the format for deductive reasoning into one in which truth is obtained by pitting truth against a falsehood which leads to a false truth. Frederick Engels and Karl Marx expanded on the Hegelian dialectic to suit their own purposes. See: Critique of Hegel's Philosophy in General by Karl Marx (1844) and Marx's Grundrisse and Hegel's Logic by Hiroshi Ouchida (1988). Hegel's dialectical idealism was founded on the premise that the abstract thought process comes before the actualization of the idea. To Hegel, the idea came first. Marx and Engels said the opposite, and wrote that human events preceed the ideas about the events. They used the dialectic to explain the necessary conflicts that will lead mankind into social perfection. State control of the production of goods and services and equal distribution of all wealth was to be the final crowning achievment of mankind. The communist theory of human progress proves life is an ongoing conflict between people at various levels of material wealth, and Marx thought of himself as a scientist who had discovered the key to human history. Dialectical materialism changed the Hegelian formula in several crucial ways. First they excluded God's law from the formula altogther, then they pitted a lie against a lie, claiming the result was a perfect synthesis. Their theory of inexorable, inevitable world evolution into totalitarian communism was attained via the Hegelian dialectic. The modern theory of global spiritual evolution into global communitarian collectives was as well. Transformational Marxism is the Hegelian dialectic applied materially, as opposed to ideally. The Soviet Union was based on the Hegelian dialectic, as is all Marxist writing. The Soviets didn't give up Hegelian reasoning when they supposedly stopped being a communist country, they simply modernized their language. Hegel Resources from Andy Blunden. Mr. Blunden is an Australian communist who studies Hegel's contributions to totalitarian "dictatorships of the people." American author Steve Montgomery explores Moscow's adept use of the Hegelian dialectic in Glasnost-
For a lengthy analysis of Hegel's dialectical reasoning, the University of Idaho has an online version of Studies in the Hegelian Dialectic by John Ellis McTaggart (1896). In Chapter VI: The Final Result of the Dialectic, the author explains the confusion inherent in Hegel's philosophy: "Hegel taught that the secrets of the universe opened themselves to us, but only on condition of deep and systematic thought, and the importance of philosophy was undiminished either by scepticism or by appeals to the healthy instincts of the plain man. But there is some difference between taking philosophy as the supreme and completely adequate means, and admitting it to be the supreme end. There is some difference between holding that philosophy is the knowledge of the highest form of reality, and holding that it is itself the highest form of reality. It seems to me that Hegel has been untrue to the tendencies of his own system in seeking the ultimate reality of Spirit in philosophy alone, and that, on his own premises, he ought to have looked for a more comprehensive explanation."
Two false premises do not make a sound conclusion even if the argument follows the formula. Three, four, five, or six false premises do not all combine to make a conclusion sound. You must have at least one sound premise to reach a sound conclusion. Logical mathematical formulas are only the basis for deductive reasoning. Equally important is knowledge of semantics, or considering the meanings of the words used in the argument. Just because an argument fits the formula, it does not necessarily make the conclusion sound. Hegel knew this when he designed his dialectic. He was an imperialist con-artist who established the principles of dialectical "noreason." His dialectic has allowed globalists to lead the world by its nose into a superstitious, unreasonable, racist age of global dominance. National governments are supposed to protect the common man from imperial controls over private property, trade and production. They insure their workers against imperial slavery by protecting markets. But if you use Hegel's twisted logic, the only way to protect people from slavery is to become a slave trader, just for a while. Like Hegel and Marx, the best street con knows his spiel has to be based in truth to be successful, and good cons weave their lies on logic. This sort of twisted logic is why cons are so successful. Hegel twisted it in such a way as to be "impenetrable."
and banks getting in their business. After this embarrassing defeat, the imperialists needed a sneaky way to regain domination of American trade. Hegel's theory created a justification for the conflict between European merchants and the American system of Political Economy, which allowed merchants to operate as independents. Americans have forgotten that theirs was an economic revolution. The American Colonial Revolution wasn't a "revolution of ideas" -- it was a revolution against the European imperial mob, which controlled the production of goods and services in its colonies. The American idea of an economy free from tariffs and constraints spread like lightening across the world. Colonies and peasant workers everywhere took actions to regain control of their own national markets and stop imperial gluttony. By 1824, colony after colony had declared independence from imperial domination. Greece declared independence from the powerful Ottoman Empire and based their successful revolution on American principles for self-governance. The imperialists were also losing control to new national unions, which formed to protect local production from foreign imports. The government of the United States was formed simply to protect labor and markets, and American economics was the foundation for the protected German manufacturing unions in the 1840s. Considering how many nations embraced the idea so quickly, it must have been a pretty easy sell to the "healthy instincts of the plain man." So, what did the imperialists do next? They created a theory of collective worker's rights and claimed that abolishing private property and controlling world markets was the best way to help laborers. Marxism was the foundation for the Fabian Socialist agenda when they merged with the British Labour Party in 1904, and the entire labor movement has been convinced their principles are based in Marxism. Modern labor unions have no idea what they are factually based in, which is entirely in the protected individual merchant principles inherent in the national system of political economy. The U.S. constitutional framers also agreed to require all public servants to abide by a fixed standard of law, whereas the British constitution is continually evolving. There was a time when Americans had the ability to call a duck a duck. The former colonials were fearless in their devotion to The Rights of Man (Paine 1791). Some of our citizens maintain the founding principles of economic liberty to this very day, in spite of how most of the world drowns in the brown matter that clouds the dialectical head game. While Darwin's theory of evolution is still being debated, there is absolutely no proof that societies are continually evolving. So when the London Communist League used the dialectical method of spiritual advancement via constant resolution of differences, they based the theory of communism on an unproven theory. Marx and Engels later changed their minds, amazingly, and redesigned communism around the anthropological theories of Lewis Henry Morgan (also unprovable). When Amitai Etzioni used Hegelian reasoning to base the Communitarian Network on a "balance" between rights and responsibilities, he built the entire theory of communitarianism on nothing but disproven and unprovable,
unscientific theories. This gives credence to the Anti Communitarian hypothesis: (A) Communitarianism did not evolve naturally (B) and it was never a movement that arose out of U.S. society (C) therefore, communitarianism has no natural home in the United States.
In 1841, Friedrich List published The National System of Political Economy and successfully disputed imperialist free trade ideology. His book is still in use worldwide, such as with the Social Movement Pan Russian Eurasia. In 1844 Engel's published Outlines of a Critique of Political Economy, and in 1845 Marx wrote a A Draft of an Article on Friedrich List's Book, where he repeatedly calls List a "German Philistine." Accounts about the life and death of Friedrich List are full of inconsistencies. According to some, he was the most outspoken opponent of free trade, and was becoming a venerated source for ideas to protect local labor and markets. Others claim he was ridiculed for his outlandish protectionist theories, lost hope and became despondent, wandering aimlessly around Europe. In 1846 List died mysteriously after (or during) a trip to London, where he was discussing English manufacturing and free trade with regular folks and leaders of the Comden Club. There is a huge disparity in the record of his death, so that it is impossible to determine how, when, and where it happened. However he died, List's body was barely cold before the London Communist League began preparing their 1847 draft of a manifesto for world peace and economic justice via a mass revolutionary movement against private property. German-British merchant Frederick Engels revised Hegel's theory to suit his needs, and then passed it on to Karl Marx, who rewrote it with "proper revolutionary flair" (Chaitkin 1985). The Communist Manifesto was published in 1848. In 1850, a French economist named Frederic
Bastiat wrote The Law and logically disputed Marxist fallacies used in France.
Amazingly, the logic of Locke, Paine, List and Bastiat are relatively unknown to modern Americans, and yet Karl Marx is a household name. Already gaining substantial ground against the Americans, British Marxism was bolstered when Charles Darwin published his theory of human evolution in 1859. Engels, according to modern day scholars, seized upon Darwin's theory to substantiate communism: "When Marx read The Origin of Species he wrote to Engels that, 'although it is developed in the crude English style, this is the book which contains the basis in natural history for our view.' They turned against what they saw as the social, as opposed to the biological, implications of Darwinism when they realised that it contained no support for their shibboleth of class oppression. Since they were slippery customers rather than scientists, they were not likely to relinquish their views just because something did not fit." (see: Marxism and Darwinism by Anton Pannekoek, 1912.) In 1877 Lewis Henry Morgan published Ancient Society, or Researches in Life, Lines of Human Progress from Savagery, through Barbarism, to Civilization. Then the "slippery" Engels seized upon Morgan's work as the constantly "evolving" basis for the totally unsubstantiated theory of natural social evolution into utopian world communism. In 1887 the First World Zionist Federation was formed to plan for the creation of a Zionist nation state. In 1947 Israel was formed in Palestine. In 1958, Fabian-Zionist Amitai Etzioni emmigrated to the U.S. from Israel. This former terrorist became a sociologist, joined the "peace movement" in the 60's, and created the Communitarian Network in the 90's. The "father" of communitarianism also created the "new" science of socio-economics and has been advising the White House to incorporate Hegelian solutions into domestic policy since 1979. Today Etzioni is often called a "guru" by mainstream media. It's not unusual for Hegelian players to change their modus operandi, as can be seen in other writers like fellow Fabian H.G. Wells, who was an early supporter of ethnic cleansing. As Well's biographers explain, "Wells's political evolution was from an optimist who believed in casual eugenic slaughter to a pessimist who cultivated humane virtues." In 1889 the British Fabian Society-London School of Economics created Socialist Clubs across America and worked with Oxford, Harvard, Columbia, and Yale to infiltrate the Marxist's more socially evolved ecomonic theories of Maynard Keynes, using the Hegelian dialectic to describe the conflict between Marxism and the un-American "capitalist" theories of Adam Smith. The definative authors of American political and economic practices, such as Locke, Hamilton, List, Paine and Bastiat were somehow relieved of their former influence and position in the "debate." By the time Dr. Etzioni "introduced" the academic world to the Hegelian communitarian synthesis, reeducated American students were well-prepared to accept any new Hegelian based theory without ever
hearing the real and valid American arguments against global imperialism and free trade. Hegel's formula has been so successful that in 2003 all U.S. domestic and foreign policy is dominated by "communitarian thinking," the whole country is living under the new laws, and yet Americans most affected by "impenetrable" Hegelian laws have never once heard the term used. "... some historians have depicted the United States as a society centered around Lockean values, those of rights and liberty 8. Actually, it is now widely agreed that the United States had, from its inception, both a strong communitarian and individualistic strand, a synthesis of republican virtues and liberal values." -- The Emerging Global Normative Synthesis by Amitai Etzioni.

Marxist societies confiscate wealth and promise to "re-distribute it equally." America promised everyone they could keep and control what was the product of their own labor. Modern Marxist adherants openly claim they will "rebuild the world," and they train activist change agents to openly support overthrowing the legitimate governments of the world. Since their inception, Marxist agent provacateurs can be linked to every anarchist assasination and student uprising that caused chaos to the established European civilization throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. Modern Americans have succumbed to the conspiracy theory label and will only listen to what the propaganda machines tell them. Now our people don't believe anything but "the Arab world hates our freedom." Most modern Americans will never know what went wrong with their "great experiment in democracy." While the Marxist-communitarian argument has not provided a shread of evidence to prove their utopian vision, and their synthesis does not match their own projected conclusions of world justice, we are convinced their argument does in fact substantiate our conclusion, that the entire philisophical dialectical argument is nothing but a brilliant ruse. We used to call it "a cheap parlor trick" until a reader wrote us wondering how we could call it "cheap" when it's been so successful, and he was right. The dialectical arguments for human rights, social equity, and world peace and justice are a perfectly designed diversion in the defeated British Empire's Hegelian-Fabian-Metaphysical-Theosophical Monopoly game. It's the most successful con job in the history of the modern world. (For a well presented Christian overview of the con, see American Babylon Part Five: The Triumph of the Merchants by Peter Goodgame.) The communitarian synthesis is the final silent move in a well-designed, quietly implemented plot to remake the world into colonies. To us it doesn't matter if there is some form of ancient religion that propels the plotters, nor does it really matter if it turns out they're aliens (as some suggest). The bottom line is the Hegelian dialectic sets up the scene for state intervention, confiscation, and redistribution in the United States. Communitarian development plans are functioning in every corner of the the world, and there is no legal avenue to withdraw from them. The Hegelian dialectic cannot be a conspiracy theory, because it is welldocumented, and the concept of Conspiracy Theories is a cruel joke. We've all been duped by global elitists who plan to exercise complete totalitarian control over the people and property of every nation.

FOUR
A. United States of America: Individual Rights of the Common Born Man. (national law) The U.S is founded upon the concept of man's "natural rights." Man's natural rights, (as can only come from one's Creator) are recognised for all naturalized, individual U.S. state citizens. The U.S. states created a new system of federal government, one that works submissively for the free states, under Supreme Laws that arose from a free society. It was established under one-of-a-kind, original, legally binding documents. B. Communism: The Common Good of the Party, Sacrificing Individuals. (unprovable theory) The Marxist theory of extreme, central government control is the first step to teaching people to live col-
lectively. Communism trains people to be more moral citizens. Once a population is subdued by the absolute power of the local committees, the theory says that totaliatrian controls can and will be modified to allow mankind to blossom into full utopian bliss. It was established under Frederick Engel's and Karl Marx's publication of the "Communist Manifesto" in 1848, an unoriginal, non-legally binding document. After social scientists earnestly engaged in the capitalist-collective debate for over a 100 years in a worldwide "philosophical" struggle, it has finally been resolved in a "new age" political theory. Americans saw what happened to Senator McCarthy and the results of the Cox Congressional Investigtations* of communists. Americans who questioned communist programs and agencies were termed "red-baiters," and completely discredited. U.S. laws against communist conspirators remained on the books, but since 1953 few Americans have participated in the "debates." In 1993, U.S. Individual Liberty and International Communism were balanced by social scientists; they established: C. The Third Way: Elitist Social Justice by Sacrificing Individual Rights. (unprovable theory) Human Rights is the new preferred term used by all politically correct goverment bodies. It is the result of the communitarian's balancing act between man's natural rights and the collective good. The modern communitarian philosophy used by Americans today was founded by Dr. Amitai Etzioni, a ZionistFabian scholar who emmigrated from Israel to the U.S. in 1958. Active in the World Order projects since the early 60's, Etzioni's rise to American power is a lesson in itself. As an adviser to Presidents Carter, Reagan, Clinton, and Bush Jr., Etzioni's involvements include new Character Education, Americorps, Faith-based initiatives, community governments, community cops, limiting individual's privacy, and total elimination of individual's right to bear arms. His lectures on his "more moral" dialogues are the basis for all new communitarian laws. * - "In 1952, Congress commissioned the Cox Committee to investigate U.S. foundations.

The Scientific Side: Hegel's Dialectic as Interpreted by Gavin Schmitt: "To Hegel, understanding what something is not helps to better understand what something is (and conversely, the more we know what something is, the more we know what it is not). The concept or object (which we call a "realization of the concept") is "affirmed" by its opposite....Often times Hegel's method is explained as "thesis, antithesis, and synthesis." This was, in fact, the way it was explained to me in my introductory classes and the way it appears in many philosophic dictionaries. If we start with a certain idea or object, this idea or object is the thesis. Any idea or object we compare contrary to the thesis is the antithesis. The outcome is the synthesis, a better understanding of the thesis and occasionally a "higher" step in the world of ideas (as we will see in a moment when I discuss history)." The American Side: Helping you connect the global to the local: UNDERSTANDING HOW THE HEGELIAN DIALECTIC IS TRANSFORMING THE WORLD TO BRING IN THE NEW WORLD ORDER by the Women's International Media Group, Inc. Researcher-writer Joan Veon's view: "In the last four years while covering the United Nations, I have come face to face, on a regular basis with communism, fascism, and socialism. I found, as a result of my own ignorance, that I could not identify them and therefore not identify the true meaning of what was being put forth in all of the documents I was reading. While I understood the goal
of world government to be behind everything the United Nations was doing, I did not know how -what modus operandi -- they would use to convert people from a capitalistic system where the individual is the master and molder of his own destiny undergirded by personal property rights reinforced his claim to that destiny, to one of complete control where man did what the State directed, when the State directed, and in the process gave up his freedoms and private property so the State could better direct its use. I then found that the "modus operandi" being used for this transition was called the "Hegelian Dialectic" which is comprised of three parts: the thesis, antithesis, and synthesis. " COLD WAR MYTH: AN EXERCISE IN THE USE OF THE DIALECTIC by Charlotte Iserbyt,November 23, 2002, at NewsWithViews.com. The Israeli Side: The Talmud is considered to be a "dialectic". "Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz has written a multivolume work, The Talmud: The Steinsaltz Edition (Random House), which includes a A Reference Guide, in which he says: "... The ultimate purpose of the Talmud is ... to seek out truth. ... The Talmudic dialectic can be compared to an inquiry in pure science, particularly in the sphere ... of mathematics. ...". The Catholic Side: Pope John Paul II endorses the New World Order and Communitarianism. The Vatican calls St. Peter's 2nd conversion and baptism (at 1429) a communitarian event.
THE ANTI COMMUNITARIAN MANIFESTO by Niki F. Raapana and Nordica M. Friedrich PART TWO:
tives.
Communitarians teach that all free American neighborhoods should be governed like Chinese-Soviet community collectives (Etzioni 1992). They supported "reinventing" the U.S. government in the early 1990s (Gore 1993) and excluded almost all Americans from the process. There was no open debate nor was there ever a public, national vote to modify the constitution of the United States. But now, in 2003, communitarian based global laws and sustainable development programs have been implemented in every State in the Union (Traub 2002). The misunderstood communitarian philosophy is designed to define the "common good," even though the U.S. Bill of Rights was specifically designed to "protect and maintain individual rights." They insist a "rights" based society can only exist if it is balanced with communitarian perspectives. They believe mandatory volunteerism in the community is the moral responsibility of all modern democratic citizens. Their leader helped establish federal citizen-volunteer programs (Americorps), even though recently he's backed down on the harsher elements of their platform, and now he says spying, reporting, and citizen-police interventions on suspicious neighbors (TIPS) are not necessary to maintain Americans' freedom (Etzioni 2003). Communitarians study hundreds of reports of "polled" Americans who are asked whether they will "give up" liberty to "fight terrorism" and then present their conclusions as if the whole process wasn't contrived to achieve the desired responses. Mainstream media presents the communitarians' confusing either-or scenarios to unaware Americans who answer as if the questions are valid. While they never poll Americans and ask them if they want to give up their free national system for totalitarian Marxism, they continuously challenge American's foundations for property and privacy rights in academic arenas few average Americans are ever exposed to (Etzioni 1998). Communitarians call the U.S. national system of political and economic freedom, and especially individual liberty, "outdated" (Etzioni 1968). They claim a global perspective is necessary to ensure Americans' peace and safety, and they always present their philosophy as if it is a "fresh perspective." They emphasize they seek innovative ways to "balance" the ongoing "tension" between Americans' individual liberty and social responsibility. They preach as if their platform is more "moral" than the original American political system of liberty, freedom and equal justice for all under an agreed upon system of protective laws. They sing a soft lullaby for the American ideal of national prosperity and lure American politicans into relinquishing national sovereignty to a modified, "softer" international Marxist system, often called the Third Way (Etzioni 2000, Blair 1993). This paper attempts to debunk the historical premise for the 21st century communitarian platform. We think their platform will eliminate the freedom and liberty required under fixed and permanent U.S. law. Communitarians would replace State Constitutions and The Bill of Rights with a confusing set of moral standards only they understand. They never planned on telling Americans what they're really doing because their Fabian roots are based on propaganda and lies. They'll never outright explain their platform because the communitarian agenda rests upon the same principles and objectives that established communism. It's also based in the dialectical theory of "natural, holistic social evolution." The open goal of the global Marxists was always to create world chaos to bring about their desired changes. We show evidence here for the purpose, the planning, and a brief chronological history of world chaos induced by the people who designed the original conflicts. In our conclusion we verify some of the ways the world was led into the many constant conflicts that brought on the final dialectical communitarian synthesis. Manifesting a communitarian game plan
The enlightened American idea of liberty and justice for all was met with fierce global and internal opposition from its very inception (Chaitkin 1985). The American colonials rebelled against total British control over local production and trade. The colonials wanted to manufacture their own goods and services, and many sought to advance their homegrown industries. In the 18th century the British Empire was a global government monopoly over all goods and trade, and colonials were required to purchase necessary commodities from the Mother country, often to the detriment of their home regions. Many Americans just wanted to support themselves and control their own lives. They sought "permission" to produce their own goods and to grow and prosper according to the level of their ambitions and needs, within a system of municipal laws. Their "Mother" repeatedly denied the American's requests to be treated fairly, as equals. Raised far away from the Imperial Court, many Americans believed men should be free to grow and prosper according to their efforts and not their social status. Hardworking colonials didn't want to be held back by unfair, unfavorable Imperial policies that stunted their ability to increase their standard of living. This basic and logical Common Sense was the inspiration for the armed colonial rebellion against involuntary servitude to globalist masters (Paine 1776). The colonial American Revolution was the first successful nationalist rebellion against the formidable power of the dominant British Empire, and the American's victory sent a dire message to every imperial government in the world. The American colonial revolution was founded in the logical principles set forth by the 17th century English philosopher John Locke. He is called the "intellectual father" of our country. Locke defined property rights as a fundamental liberty under a legitimate government. Locke established the principles used by the Americans because "The human right in property was meant by Locke and understood by the Framers of the Constitution to be the fundamental liberty" (Stephens 2003). The Constitutional Rights Foundation explains what Locke meant by property: "By 'property,' Locke meant more than land and goods that could be sold, given away, or even confiscated by the government under certain circumstances. Property also referred to ownership of one's self, which included a right to personal well being. Jefferson, however, substituted the phrase, "pursuit of happiness," which Locke and others had used to describe freedom of opportunity as well as the duty to help those in want" (crf-usa.org). In 1776, Thomas Jefferson rewrote the American's Declaration of Independence, partially by default, because everyone else in Congress was too busy dealing with the escalating war. Is it not altogether surprising to see how quickly the global imperialist writers began their pattern of attacks on the logical principles for which the Americans so bravely fought (Smith 1776; Kant 1781; Burke 1790; Hegel 1812; Engels 1841; Darwin 1861; Morgan 1877). British rewrites call the American Revolution a minor British "civil war." British academic mockery and British defamation of America's founders continues into the present day (Bicheno 2003). Today, the books written on the many varied causes for the American Revolution fill libraries (for example see: Historical Resources Branch, US Army Center for Military History 1996). In 1847 the London Communist League's primary goal was to "abolish private property," and in 1848 the Communist Manifesto established the modern rules for the "constant conflict" between European property holders versus landless workers, peasants, and serfs (Marx 1848). The primary flaw in Marx's logical equation is the premise itself; the economic theory of aristocratic corporate capitalism (Webster 1877) Marx referred to in Dialectical Materialism [1] was never the political economy of American free men (Lloyd 1885). The revised Marxist history of pre-revolutionary American colonial capitalism changed the American's formula for economic freedom around so that it appears to be identical to the history of Imperial colonial economics, slavery, and servitude (Weinberg 2002). In his Economic Interpretation of the Constitution
of the United States, Oxford-educated Marxist Charles Beard (1913) led the movement of American intellectuals who rewrote American history to correspond to Marxist economic theory. Exploitation of the masses was not every American founder's ideology (West 1997). American revolutionaries fought against the Imperialist global financial scheme (Paine 1792) and, upon winning the War for American Independence, they laid the foundations for a limited government that would enable future free born American men to control their own destinies as independents, rather than as subjects to the Imperial British crown. The United States Articles of Confederation formed a small government designed to protect the property and prosperity of the individual states. The individual state citizens protected under the new arrangement included American commoners and the educated wealthy, equally. Not only a war of independence over land rights and local access to a responsive, representative government, it was also a war against global imperialism and the aristocratic "free trade" policies and nepotism governing the British Colonies (Globe and Mail.com 2003). Post-Revolutionary Policies & Determining the Principles of Self-Governance In 1787, less than six years after the Imperialist Cornwallis surrendered to Patriot General George Washington, the loose federation of young states was unable to raise taxes to pay for its war debts, and Shay's Rebellion exemplified the education the war had provided to average American citizens who continued to defend themselves from unrepresentative government taxation. Armed rebellions against state legislatures dominated by wealthy land owners had already begun. For the many wealthy founders with quasi-imperialist tendencies, coupled with the legitimate concerns of the unprotected producers, it became necessary to establish a stronger, central, federal government. Imperialist designs to the constitution are most often examined by International Socialists (Zirin 2001; Zinn 1980). The proposed U.S. Constitution produced heated debates over protecting and expanding the personal and economic rights of the individuals living in the free states. For many of the Constitutional framers, the Bill of Rights was an unnecessary inclusion in a people's government (National Government Archives 2003). The first Ten Amendments agreed upon in 1789 were not included in the 1787 draft U.S. Constitution. It is possible that the entire constitutional crisis was a power-game between high powered men who sought controlling interest in the newborn country. There is such an abundance of written history regarding the formation of a strong central government in the United States that it requires years of reading to form even a rudimentary understanding of the many conflicts involved. For this paper I will only briefly examine the main conflict. But it is interesting for our purposes to note that the Hamilton branch wanted strong trade relations with the British and the Jefferson branch supported "many of the ideals of the French Revolution (infoplease.com)." Internal debates over the formulation of the new government were a major force in determining U.S. federal policies (Hamilton; Madison; Jefferson 1791 ). Controlling money, creating and issuing currency, and establishing a federal bank were all central themes to the debates surrounding the Constitutional Convention of 1787. First U.S. President Washington not only turned down offers from his officers to make him a king (Parry) he also appointed opposition leaders from both sides (Jefferson and Hamilton) to key positions in his cabinet because of his belief in including reasonable discourse in decisions made over future public policy (National Center for Constitutional Studies). The American System of Economics
Alexander Hamilton argued for creating a strong federal government with a national banking system controlled by the U.S. (Federalist Papers). A national bank was to provide loans to American industrialists, farmers, and inventors, as well as provide capital investments to build the infrastructure necessary to move goods to markets (canals, roads, railways, etc). His arguments prevailed, and Hamilton's economic theory was the original political economy of the new American republic (Trask 2003). The creation of a National Bank was considered by the Federalists to be the only sure way to protect the weak U.S. from the European imperialist's powerful financial network. Thomas Jefferson saw Hamilton's plans as an avenue to draw the U.S. into monarchial systems. The first Bank of the United States was founded in 1791, and it was authorized by the newly established Constitution to implement institutions and coin money (Findlaw: U.S. Constitution Article One, Cases and Codes). The National Bank continues to be a topic of national discussion but much of it is discounted by conspiracy experts (Rough 1997). In response to public opinion about President Adams' lack of action in regards to (Jacobin?)-French activities in the U.S., The Alien and Sedition Act was approved July 14, 1798 (Yale Law Avalon ProjectU.S. Statutes), making sedition a crime. It also became illegal to openly criticize the U.S. government. Vice-president Thomas Jefferson secretly drafted state legislation to overturn the Acts (Jefferson Timeline). Thomas Jefferson is credited with creating the first democratic party, (contrary to Washington's warning that parties would ultimately destroy the country), commonly referred to as Jeffersonian Democracy. The Jefferson Democrats were "based in large part on faith in the virtue and ability of the common man and the limitation of the powers of the federal government (infoplease.com)." Early supporters were most influential Southern politicians, Aaron Burr, James Madison, and Albert Gallatin. "Albert Gallatin came of an old and noble family... Thomas Jefferson believed the Sedition Bill was framed to drive Gallatin from office. However, as soon as Jefferson was elected President, early in 1801, he tendered Gallatin the post of Secretary of the Treasury" (U.S. Treasury Department Archives). U.S. Treasury's website explains to us how Gallatin's "love of independence" was the reason he fled his homeland to seek freedom in America, and forgets to add anything about his family ties to established Swiss banking and imperialist financial institutions (Chaitkin 1985). U.S. Treasury's official "history" doesn't explain how Gallatin became educated in government's "fiscal operations" either, but other sources tell us he "was reared by his patrician relatives and had an excellent education," adding, "Greatly interested in the Native Americans, Gallatin wrote papers on them and was responsible for founding the American Ethnological Society in 1842" (1UpInfo-Enclycopedia). Ethnology is: "a science that deals with the division of human beings into races and their origin, distribution, relations, and characteristics" (Merriam Webster.com 1928). The science of ethnology is directly connected to the science of eugenics (Winston 2002). In 1804 Jefferson's Vice-President Aaron Burr killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel. He was charged with murder but never prosecuted. Aaron Burr was indicted and acquitted in 1807 for his role in a foiled British coup against the government of the United States (Buckner 2001) The details about his close family ties to other identified traitors in the plot are played down in most American histories (Chaitkin 1985). Throughout the first decade of the 19th century, the British Navy seized 1000 U.S. ships and kidnapped 10,000 American sailors. In 1812, Americans fought the British a second time because British Navy kidnappings and BritishIndian terrorism continued unabated. Contemporary historians tell us the War was instigated and pressed upon President Madison by War Hawks in Congress (Calhoun, Clay, Porter, Langdon, and
Cheves) who insisted on defending America's "honor." The Hartford Convention of 1814 was drafted by a small minority of New England Federalists, and its authors were accused of being secessionists. This was the beginning of the period introducing Sectionalism. In 1816 Henry Clay was the formost proponent of the American System and instrumental in the Tariff Act of 1816 (AP US 2003). By 1825, Imperial colonies across the globe were copying the Americans and declaring themselves independent from Imperialist rulers (Blackwell 1998). Imperial monarchs appealed to the United States for support in suppressing nationalist revolutions. U.S. President James Monroe reiterated President George Washington's foreign policy of non-interference in the internal affairs of foreign nations (Washington's Farewell Address 1797). Monroe was firm in upholding U.S. opposition to the creation of new Imperial colonies and he said the U.S. would recognize national revolutions proven to come directly from the rebellious nation's people (Monroe's' Speech to U.S. Congress 1824). (The eventual understanding of what became known as The Monroe Doctrine was not what Monroe originally said nor intended). Many of the founding fathers were members of American Free and Accepted Freemasonry but after a freemason dissapeared in 1826 who had threatened public exposure of masonry secrets, masonry was targeted as a bad thing. (Thomas Paine also wrote a pamphlet about the origins of freemasonry, published after his death.) The 1830's witnessed the formation of an American Anti-Masonic party, which incidentally helped defeat Henry Clay and elect President Andrew Jackson, who was a Freemason (Groiler Encyclopedia 2000). There were originally two branches of freemasonry in the U.S.; the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry survives to this day while the American version complied with the anti-masonic public sentiment and mostly disbanded (Chaitkin 1985). Today freemasonry and communism are both absolutely taboo political topics; speaking about the communists or the freemasons, as if they really exist, will get the writer condemmed as a conspiracy theorist (Hofstadter 1964). The Anti-thesis is introduced into world affairs In the 1830s there began a mass immigration from Germany and Ireland into the United States. Both areas, like most of the world at that time, suffered under British Free Trade mandates and a globalized aristocratic system of governance (Shi 2003). Aristocrats held property in the highest esteem and they often named their successors after their LAND, it's what "titled" means. The current ruling European families all date back to the 12th century, and their holdings and their inter-related bloodlines remain mostly intact. Many immigrants settled in New York City. Their poor living conditions in the wealthy landowners' ghettos (Chaitkin 1985) and the lack of sanitary services set up the dialectic used most often on the world's poor, by providing a "good" reason to allow Darwinian eugenicists to teach population control and basic public hygiene to landless people forced into living with the most unsanitary conditions (Trachtenberg 2000). Early U.S. policy protected the small producers of raw materials and goods, and according to the U.S. Treasury Department, "The 1830s was a period of general prosperity and by 1834 had paid off the national debt." From 1816 to 1846 there existed a "thirty year tariff war" between agriculture and commerce versus manufacturing. The pro-tariff Americans wanted to ensure protection of American cottage industries against cheap foreign imports, the anti-tariff Americans wanted access to the cheapest goods available regardless of where they came from. In Volume III of The Great Republic by the Master Historians editor Hubert H. Bancroft tells us about the financial panic of 1837: "When Jackson became President, in 1829, he very quickly manifested an enmity to the National Bank, which he declared to be corrupt, dangerous, and unconstitutional. His first hostile measure was to remove from it the government deposits, which he distributed among the State banks. This measure pro-
duced a storm of opposition, greatly disturbed the conditions of business, and caused general distress in the industrial community. But Jackson was unyieldingly obstinate in his opinions, and his hostility to the bank was next displayed in a veto of the bill to renew its charter, which would expire on March 3, 1836. The State banks took advantage of this condition of affairs to expand greatly their discounts, new banks came rapidly into existence, and the banking facilities were enormously increased, the discounts augmenting from $200,000,000 in 1830 to $525,000,000 eight years afterwards." Bancroft continues: "A series of wild speculations attended this expansion: foreign goods were heavily imported, and enormous operations took place in government lands, in payment for which paper money poured profusely into the treasury. Such was the state of affairs at midsummer of 1836. To check these operations a "specie circular" was issued by the Secretary of the Treasury, which required payment for government lands to be made in gold and silver after August 15, 1836. The effect of this series of executive actions, and of the fever of speculation which existed, was disastrous. The species which was expected to flow into the treasury in payment for public lands failed to appear. The banks refused discount and called in their loans. Property was everywhere sacrificed, and prices generally declined. Then, like an avalanche suddenly talling upon the land, came the business crash and panic of 1837, which caused the financial ruin of thousands. During the first three weeks of April two hundred and fifty business houses failed in New York. Within two months the failures in that city alone aggregated nearly one hundred millions of dollars. Throughout the whole country the mercantile interests went down with a general crash, involving the mechanic, the farmer even the humblest laborer, in the ruinous consequences of the disaster. Bankruptcy everywhere prevailed, forced sacrifice for valuable merchandise was the order of the day, on less than eight of the States partially or wholly failed, even the general government could not pay its debts, trade stood still, business confidence vanished, and ruin stalked unchecked over the land. " [emphasis added] To complicate matters even further, open immigration throughout the 1830s gained fresh voters in New York's intense local political struggles and "movements." The policy of importing the world's poor was apparently used more than once in American history in order to "balance" the national vote (as is witnessed in the mass immigration of Eastern European Jews and socialists beginning in the 1890s). Unable to defeat the U.S. with treason, terrorism or warfare, and faced with nationalist rebellions in colonies from Australia to South America, globalists finalized their scheme to lead Americans into resubmitting to permanent colonial status. The immediate goal was to stop the spread of the American's economic theory of liberty and self-governance into the rest of the world. Friedrich Engels, co-author of the Communist Manifesto (a rich, British-German merchant, lover of world proletarian workers with a concern for social justice) was also a shameless racist. He called the Americanized German merchant a "Yankee ape," and U.S. Ambassador and economist-author Friedrich List a "philistine" (Engels 1841). Friedrich List was a German immigrant who studied Hamilton's economic system. He was a historical economist who laid out the history of national economies. List included most of the principal players in Europe by following economic history from before the Crusades. In the National System of Political Economy, Chapter Ten: The Teachings of History (1841), List reminds us that, "Everywhere and at all times has the wellbeing of the nation been in equal proportion to the intelligence, morality, and industry of its citizens; according to these, wealth has accrued or been diminished; but industry and thrift, invention and enterprise, on the part of individuals, have never as yet accomplished aught of importance where they were not sustained by municipal liberty, by suitable public institutions and laws, by the State administration and foreign policy, but above all, by the unity and power, of the nation." He promoted National Systems by writing books. He contributed as a hands-on consultant to German national unions formed against British free trade policies. Karl Marx drafted an unconvincing rebuttal to List's National System of
Throughout the mid 1800s, "The general growth of manufacturing interests throughout the North had given the protectionists the balance of strength, and the free-traders, finding themselves powerless to gain their ends in Congress, began to indulge in treasonable language, claiming that individual States had the right to refuse to submit to laws which worked adversely to their interests (Bancroft 1900)." The stage was being set for the Civil War between the States. Friedrich List died in 1846, either of suicide-poisoning in London (Chaitkin 1985) or of a self-inflicted gunshot in Austria (Stuttgart Marketing). While most historians assure us he was despondent, unemployed and aimlessly wandering, others tell us he was in London investigating the English Corn Laws and the Comden Club (and subsequent workers riots associated with Engel's free trade practices). Friedrich Lists' 1841 book on National economics was translated into numerous languages including Russian, Chinese, and Japanese. While Lists' works are mostly unfamiliar to American students, they were the basis for many national recovery movements and still are, as is evidenced by the Pan-Russian Social Political Movement EURASIA (Dugin 2002). George Friedrich List's position on Adam Smith's 1776 theory of laissez-faire capitalism? ``It is this theory, sir, which furnishes to the opponents of the American System the intellectual means of their opposition.... Boasting of their imaginary superiority in science and knowledge, these disciples of Smith and Say are treating every defender of common sense like an empiric whose mental power and literary acquirements are not strong enough to conceive the sublime doctrine of their masters'' (Freeman 1992). Rebuilding Civil Societies In Treason in America: from Aaron Burr to Averell Harriman , American historian Anton Chaitkin (1985) traces the untold version of the U.S. Civil War. He tells us in the 1860s the London-American Scottish Rite Freemasons agitated again for a war of secession, and when it came the war almost entirely destroyed the Union of Free and Independent States. Albert Pike was a prolific Freemason and figures prominently in Chaitkin's research about the Southern secession, but Pike's biographers at West Virginia University say Pike was opposed to secession. Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, by Albert Pike (Charleston, 1871) "prepared for the Supreme council of the thirty-third degree, for the Southern jurisdiction of the United States, and published by its authority" is a credible source for understanding freemasonry and its "civil society" goals. The term civil society comes from the Jacobin freemasons who began using it in 17th century France. Famous for its line: "liberty, equality, fraternity," it is also credited with introducing the guillotine into the French Revolution. Modern day Russians call it a "hopeless phrase" (PrimaNews 2002). Whoever was behind it, fresh immigration boosted elistment in the Union Army, and the end of the American Civil War in 1865 opened the door to massive reconstruction and the industrialization of America. It also created a "pool" of seasoned soldiers necessary to invading the western Indian lands, Mexico, and Cuba. What happened next is best described by University of Iowa lecture notes on American Foreign Policy: "After the civil war, efforts to steer the United States toward a more internationalist foreign policy began to increase. Many internationalists of the day were imperialists who sought to expand America's reach
beyond the confines of the North American continent. For more than three decades these efforts came to naught. Isolationists continued to hold the upper hand and defeated bids to extend American rule over territories as diverse as Cuba, Greenland, and Hawaii." Nearly thirty years after the Communist Manifesto, Lewis Henry Morgan, the father of anthropology, published his theory of the history of civilization, and he placed Native American societies in "Middle Barbarism" (Morgan 1877). Without missing a historical beat, Darwin's (1859) theory of evolution had expanded to include "evolving" political systems (Singer 2000). Morgan's unscientific revelations were another boost to Engels' 1840's unscientific theory of natural social progress, and was "seized upon by Frederick Engels as the basis for communism" (SMSU.edu). Putting aside his interests in Indians, philanthropist Henry Morgan became rich in expanding railways and mining. Over the next decade, the Western Indian wars eliminated "middle barbarism" from the continent. Engels' altruistic revolutionary communist ideology of empowering the working man, and ideas like geopolitics and free trade , spread quickly throughout the upper-reaches of Anglo-European academia (GlobeandMail.com). Hundreds of books were already prepared and written to enhance their theories and promote different routes to "rebuilding the world" (Darwin 1861). 1873 saw the first Populist Movement for Agrarian Reform (Krebs 2002). The metaphysical movement of Theosophy was established in 1875 to apply Darwin's theory of evolution to the "spiritual level" (Schumacher 1996). The British Fabian Society formed in 1884, merged with the British Labor Party in 1904, and established the London School of Economics to teach Marxist finances. Key Fabians were socialist writers Bertrand Russell and George Bernard Shaw, both men having many honors bestowed upon them for various socialist causes, including world peace. H.G. Wells is probably the most familiar of the Fabian authors, he wrote the famous A New World Order (1939), and the less famous The Way to League of Nations (1919). Another famous Fabian is Annie Besant of the Theosophical Society, follower of Madame Blavatsky who penned, among other esoteric works, a magazine called Lucifer in 1887. Americans embrace the Fabian agenda and free trade policies Fabians founded Socialist Clubs at Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and the University of Chicago; FabianKeynesian change agents eventually taught their progressive economic theories at every elite university in the States (Terrins 1984). In 1883, the new version of global American capitalism was solidified in the first free trade agreement between rich American financiers and the Mexican aristocracy (Hart 2002). The Globe and Mail gives us another version of British free trade: "It was more akin to forced trade, as many of these products were taken under, to be overly generous, coercive conditions. In that sense, the British Empire engaged more in racketeering than free trade.... Now, let us take a closer look at the British Empire, often heralded as a model for the benefits of free trade. Free trade was indeed first introduced to Great Britain, but not until 1846. By that time, the British Empire was already near its apex of economic dominance, a result not of free trade but of exploitation of its colonies, both for natural resources and markets. Before 1846, the British state was more interventionist than any contemporary government and probably rivaled that of the centrally planned economies of the erstwhile Soviet Union. Success was firmly built on monopoly. The only large-scale businesses of the day, the equivalents of contemporary corporations, were run by governments. These organizations were anything but competitive, as they were granted exclusive trading rights in the colonies. The Hudson's Bay Company and the English East India Company are well-known examples of this. Under the Navigation Acts, even transportation of goods to and from the colonies was monopolized. Protected markets and nepotism meant markets were anything but free."
Benjamin Harrison was elected president in 1888 and began dismantling the tariff system established by Washington, Hamilton, Clay and List. Harrison's White House biographers explain: "The most perplexing domestic problem Harrison faced was the tariff issue. The high tariff rates in effect had created a surplus of money in the Treasury. Low-tariff advocates argued that the surplus was hurting business To cope with the Treasury surplus, the tariff was removed from imported raw sugar; sugar growers within the United States were given two cents a pound bounty on their production. Long before the end of the Harrison Administration, the Treasury surplus had evaporated, and prosperity seemed about to disappear as well (Whitehouse.gov)." (This is even more interesting when compared to a review in 1997 in The Atlanta Business Chronicle of the book "Hamilton's Blessing." Hamilton's Blessing: The Extraordinary Life and Times of Our National Debt by John Steele Gordon who claims to prove the national debt was Hamilton's "brainchild." One reviewer of the book says "the emergence of Keynesian economics further sanctified the role of deficit spending as an economic strategy" (O'keefe 1997).) In the early 1890s a panic somehow occurred on Wall Street, and by 1895 the failing U.S. Treasury had allowed banker-financier J.P. Morgan to create a syndicate to buy up U.S. bonds, and the U.S. Supreme Court declared the income tax law unconstitutional. The first World Zionist Conference was held in 1897 with the goal of enlisting support for the creation of a Jewish homeland. The international coalition of Zionists had support from very influential global players, many of them with access to heads of states. One of their founding members was a Rothschild banker and the Zionists appealed directly for recognition from several world rulers, including the Pope (Herzl 1896). (The Rothschild name pops up again in the 1992 Democratic Leadership Council DLC as a source for start-up finance capital (Chaitkin 2002). The DLC agenda is to "define the Third Way".) According to a biography published in the Atlantic Monthly in March 1901, President William McKinley turned down the Republican nomination twice. When he accepted, "... he thought, and as almost everybody else in his party thought, to substitute on the statute books in cooperation with the Republican Congress elected at the same time, a modification of the McKinley tariff bill for the Wilson Gorman tariff law, and thus to restore the prosperity which had for some reason disappeared; and also, as others thought, to bring about the enactment of a law for the maintenance of the existing gold standard, and to remedy the defects in the Treasury system which, under the conditions of the former administration, had compelled it to issue two hundred and thirty million dollars in new bonds Congress, on his recommendation and under his inspiration, passed the law to maintain the gold standard, to provide for refunding at two per cent, the lowest rate of interest ever paid by the United States government, and to extend the national banking system to small towns" (Macfarland 1901) [emphasis added] America is redirected by foreign interests By 1898, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Theodore Roosevelt, acting for the Secretary who took the afternoon off, gave the order of readiness which helped convince McKinley to go to war against Spain and liberate Cuba (Chaitkin 1994). It was only McKinley's solid reputation and the esteem of the U.S. Congress which allowed him to hold out against Congress and public opinion as long as he did, and after war began, he worked diligently and diplomatically to end it honorably, and to restore Cuba and the Philippines to the people living in those countries (Macfarland 1901). In 1889, the London Fabian-trained Nobel Peace Prize winner Jane Addams brought socialism and international "peace" to Chicago neighborhoods (University of Chicago). Addams was just in time for the poverty and wars that would define the coming 20th century and lead us into the 21st century Middle Eastern Clash of Civilizations (Huntington 1993). In 1901, U.S. President William McKinley was assassinated "for the working man" by an immigrant la-
borer who associated with anarchists and Fabian Socialist Emma Goldman in Chicago (American Jewish Historical Society). Goldman's Fabian terrorism was also the inspiration for the foundation of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). "McKinley's assassination came after a wave of anarchist terrorism in Europe. Between 1894 and 1900, anarchist assassins had killed M.F. Sadi Carnot, President of France; Elizabeth, Empress of Austria; and Humbert I, King Of Italy" (US Gov. Archives). Apparently some Americans still wanted to create a monarchial government after 125 years: "The tendency toward government by a monarch in this country appears most clearly in the sayings and doings of the people who want "a strong man in the White House" (Macfarland 1901). Following McKinley's death, elitist "nabob" vice-President Teddy Roosevelt took the oath of office. Under his progressive presidency, Roosevelt introduced Marxist environmentalism and, using blueprints of successful British land conservation policies in colonial India, firmly established the U.S. model for a national forest service (Chaitkin 1985). Between 1890 and 1920, over two million Eastern European Jews (many with communist sympathies) would immigrate to the United States, assisted mainly by New York banker Jackob Shiff. University of Iowa's lectures on American Foreign Policy fill us in: "By the close of the nineteenth century isolationists were beginning to lose the battle with internationalists. In 1898, the United States went to war with Spain and won an empire. Under President Theodore Roosevelt and his corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, the United States embraced the role of policeman of the Western Hemisphere. But despite the ascendancy of internationalism, the core isolationist prohibition against becoming entangled in European affairs persisted. President Wilson challenged that taboo with America's entry into World War I and his bid to commit the United States to membership in the League of Nations. After protracted and bitter debate, however, the Senate rejected the Treaty of Versailles and with it Wilson's vision of a liberal, multilateral internationalist order." Teddy Roosevelt appointed Darwinian-Eugenics Congress attendee Gifford Pinchot as national protector of prime U.S. "public" lands (Mehler 1988; Chaitkin 1985). "The area of the United States placed under public protection by Theodore Roosevelt totals approximately 230,000,000 acres" (Wikepedia 2003). In 1902, he appointed Oliver Wendell Holmes to the U.S. Supreme Court. Holmes was a liberal justice who " became known for his innovative, well reasoned decisions, balancing property rights with human rights, with the latter taking precedence over the former" (Wikepedia 2002). J.P. Morgan and his associates averted another financial panic in 1907. The U.S. Supreme Court declared J.P. Morgan's consolidation of the Northern Pacific Railway illegal, but the Railway's financial ties were never disbanded (Britannica). In Politics of Change, Pacific-Northwestern biologist Dr. Robert Crittendom (1994) details Railway-related land grabs from the Mississippi to the gates of the Columbia River, and Weyerhaeuser's massive takings all along the route. In 1913 the private, corporate Federal Reserve was created. In accordance with plank two of the Communist Manifesto, the Sixteenth Amendment created the national income tax law. This is also where we see the rise in prominence and self-aggrandizement of British and American joint "Councils" on foreign relations, national historical societies, wealthy merchants' philanthropist foundations, grant funded public policy research, privately funded social research institutes, and politically left and right wing thinktanks. Woodrow Wilson was elected on a no-war platform, and in 1917 he petitioned the U.S. Congress to enter World War One. Here's where the dialectic gets really tricky. Information from around this time is contradictory, and reference to actual historical documents is labeled conspiracy theory, or worse. We
have verified the Balfour declaration to Rothschild (Balfour 1917) and a first draft for a League of Nations (Balfour 1922), which has evolved into the modern day United Nations (Rothschild 2003). President Woodrow Wilson's decision to enter World War I (Wilson 1918) is connected to Colonel Mandel House, Zionism (Balfour-Palestine Mandate 1922), and Supreme Court Justices Louis Brandeis and Wendell Holmes (Lariens 19--). The early 20th century is shrouded in controversy, but it is well known that in 1917 the Marxists toppled the Russian Revolution and replaced the ruling Kerenskys with a genocidal, totalitarian regime that killed millions of people (Courtois 1999). The USSR established credibility for the anti-thesis, and provided justification for the United States' Cold War expansionist policies. Russian Marxist Leon Trotsky wrote Disarmament and the United States of Europe, (the first draft for a European Union?) reprinted by the International Commitern in 1945. Trotsky saw the strength of an American system: "The prewar power of the United States grew on the basis of its internal market, i.e. the dynamic equilibrium between industry and agriculture. In this development the war has produced a sharp break." Trotsky explained the Marxist's ongoing destruction of Wall Street businesses in the U.S., with: "American finance capital is digging with its own hands powder and dynamite cellars beneath its own foundation. Where will the fuse be lit? (Trotsky 1929)" Marxist chaos multiplies In 1929 the stock market made a major crash after a series of ups and downs. In Europe, the defeated German Weimar Republic suffocated under runaway inflation and the crushing Balfour-House Treaty of Versailles. The Rothschild's Bank of England quit the gold standard in September 1931, and by December of that year, German unemployment was in excess of five million (Timebase 1931). In Germany, Marxist ideology set up the dialectic that brought Hitler and the National Socialists (Nazis) to power. In the July 1932 Reichstag elections, "the National Socialists won 230 seats; the Socialists won 133 seats, the Communists, 89, and the Catholics, 87" (Timebase 1932). Around this time the Nazis were growing stronger by working with U.S. companies, which were represented by New York attorneys John Foster Dulles, Prescott Bush, and Averill Harriman, also affiliated with J.P. Morgan and U.S. Steel (Chaitkin 1994). In 1933, U.S. presidential candidate Franklin D. Roosevelt introduced the New Deal. Congress then established the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) under the Banking Emergency Act, and the U.S. followed Rothschild's lead and dropped from the gold standard. U.S. Congressman McFadden charged the Federal Reserve with causing the stock market crash, and the U.S. was the first nation to officially recognize (sanction?) communist rule in the Soviet Union (Timebase 1933; Congressional Record 1933). Darwinian geopolitics justified Hitler's expansionist "living space" policies and the new science of Eugenics inspired country after county to pass anti-Semitic restrictions. Between 1933 and 1934, Hitler's government passed law after law against the Jewish people and the World Jewish and Zionist organizations staged protest after protest. Initially the Catholics were opposed to Hitler, though the Pope was later said to have supported Hitler because he was opposed to communism (Timebase 1933-34). On January 4, 1935, President Roosevelt told Congress, "throughout the world, change is the order of the day" (Coughlin 1935). The people of the United States, ravaged by the Great Depression and the Federal Reserve credit-banking system, embraced Marxist rhetoric and established the conflict: "We are determined to place once and for all the sacredness of human rights above the materialism of property rights" (Holmes? 1935). That same year, even as the Supreme Court declared FDR's National Recovery Act unconstitutional, Congress passed the Social Security Act. Determined to stay out of what many Americans called "the next banker's war," Congress also passed the Neutrality Act (Congressional Re-
cord 1935). In spite of a steady barrage of anti-German sentiment, it was only the Japanese devastation of the U.S. fleet at Pearl Harbor in 1941 that allowed Roosevelt to take the U.S. into the war. Anti-Jewish violence had exploded across Europe throughout the 1930s (Timebase 1933-45), forcing a mass exodus of reluctant Jews to the British Mandate of Palestine, which was mostly populated by Arabs. In 1936, Palestinian leaders appealed to the League of Nations to stop the flood of Jewish immigrants (Timebase 1936). From 1920 to 1945, the European Jewish population in Palestine increased by 367,845 (palestineremebered.com), since 1945 it has increased to a million (Maas 2002). By the end of World War Two, International Zionists had the population and the financial and military support necessary to take control of Palestine and "de-invite" the British. In 1947, the Zionists seized Palestine from British control. In 1948, they defeated the surrounding Arab nations aided by communists and the Russian Jabotinsky's pre-WWI military units (Frank 1992). Amitai Etzioni, father of American communitarianism, was a terrorist (Etzioni 2002), a revolutionary, and a Palmach soldier in Ben Gurion's army (Etzioni 1978). Etzioni and other Israeli soldiers grew up in communist-collective kibbutzes in confiscated Arab territories-always presented to Americans as a very progressive lifestyle (kibbutzprogramcenter.org). In May 1948, the Jewish Peoples' Council declared the establishment of the State of Israel (Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs 1999). Israel, like England, does not have a written constitution. By 1949, Marxism had completely destroyed the Chinese Imperial government and replaced the Emperor with a genocidal regime that murdered over 50 million people (Courtois 1999). Conflicts created by Middle Eastern communism successfully closed the door to intellectual discourse between Arabs and Jews in the 1950s (Somekh 1999). In 1951, the highly decorated and respected (but now denigrated) General Douglas MacArthur was unceremoniously relieved of his Korean War command under very controversial circumstances, and the country was scandalized by communists uncovered in high U.S. government positions (Linder 2001). Beginning in the late 1940's the communist-communitarian agenda was almost revealed to Americans, as several well-researched, thought provoking books were published during these years (Dilling 1940; Beaty 1947; Stormer 1962). But in spite of all the evidence, by the mid-1950s Senator McCarthy had thoroughly disgusted America with his fanatical approach to routing out "communist subversives." The well-publicized interviews by the House Committee on Un-American Activities made a national mockery of any anti-communist sentiment, and Congressional investigations of communist players and programs ceased (Reese 1952; Wormser 1953). The Marxist conflict throws the back doors wide open With all the barriers down, the final planks of the Communist Manifesto were steadily implemented across the U.S., and future American "public" education was placed in the hands of Marxist-FabianKeynesian change agents (Kjos 1998; Iserbyt 1999). The 1960s witnessed the assassination of John F. Kennedy, (who, according to some conspiracy theoristhistorians, signed an executive order to take away the power to coin U.S. money from the Federal Reserve (Cedric X)). His successor, Lyndon Johnson, expanded the undeclared Vietnam War to stop the communists and take over the opium trade in Indo-China. Poised for war, Marxist change agents completely infiltrated the pacifist anti-war movement in the United States (Lewy 1988). They found a willing, agitated audience in American youth who were serving as fodder on the Asian front lines. Anti-war protestors in America (including Amitai Etzioni) tooted their anti-capitalist horns for "democratic" progressive communism, but in the 70s everyone mostly ignored the Democratic Kampuchea in Cambodia who taught children how to kill their own families (Chandler 1992).
ence on American government, who had initially helped put them in power.
The United States provided critical economic aid to the USSR from its inception (American Patriots 2002), and the U.S. continues to almost entirely support Israel, particularly the Israeli military (Sustaincampaign.org). If communist kibbuttz/collectives fail without help from capitalist nations, or if they are unable to force enough slave producers to sustain them after "wealthy" Americans are completely absorbed into the global collective, who will support the basic human rights guaranteed by the U.N.'s new socially equitable system? And, if a government tests and trains everyone for their best fitting jobs, where is free will? The American "idea" was for men to be free to pursue their own destinies with every man getting a fair chance under an agreed upon system of laws, because truly legitimate governments are created only to protect the people they represent. Was the original U.S. Constitution also a prefatory tool of the dialectic? Is it possible that the American system was designed only to become the "capitalist" thesis in the dialectical opposition of ideas? If the U.S. Bill of Rights was not included in the Constitution until the American people insisted on additional protections from the newly formed central government, and most of the Founders argued brilliantly against adding a Bill of Rights is it possible that the Bill of Rights exists outside the dialectic? America is still voluntarily the most generous nation in the world when it comes to donations, both next door and abroad. Americans are so generous they give one third of their foreign aid to maintain Israel, even when it deprives the U.S. of basic and necessary commodities (Davis 2003). Free people have something to contribute. Modern Marxism promises varied Utopian cultures where everybody shares everything they have and the central government's job is to dole out housing, utilities, medical, work, and benefits according to ability, need, and party status. But what happens when America goes Marxist who will provide the necessary foreign aid that supports Marxist economies? The U.S. Bill of Rights was clearly not exploitative, but over the years, thanks to Fabian economics, manufactured "credit," massive unemployment in the 1920s, two world wars, and a constant barrage of Darwinian anti-Semitism and anti-Islamic racist rhetoric mixed with outright lies about everything American, the conflict came to be represented by international corporate capitalism on the right, versus the rights of the "common good" on the left. Protecting the legal rights of the individual, common MAN was relegated into selfishness. The conflict between capitalism and communism was never authentic, and, based on a false conflict, the communitarian solution was planned as the final move in the Marxist theoretical, revolutionary, economic game equation. Designed to "change the world," the stated goal of the Marxists was to promote global conflicts, create chaos and disorder, and offer up a predetermined evolved society, benevolently ruled exclusively by them. The well thought out solution to global madness Communitarianism is human society's most developed Darwinian geopolitical ideology in the theoretical, "natural," Marxist evolution of social systems. Communitarians differ in their beliefs as to the type of force that should be used against their immoral neighbors (some advance shame while others advance "boot camps"), but they all share the same belief that Earth's scientists have an obligation to guide humanity into achieving a less violent, livable quality of life. (Still confused by the language? We're sorry, but the communitarians made up sciences and a language to define them. Don't worry all you hardworking American taxpayers who support the conflicts, you can trust the Fabians. Their lies are only one way they help needy, uneducated, oppressed people, and even if their methods are shady, their goals are holistic. Morally evolved people promise to save others from living a dangerous and free life.)
A Communitarian is an academic elitist privy to the solution, and their position in the New World Order is one of the best-kept secrets in the world. For over 150 years the globalist merchants and their "agents of change" worked diligently towards their goal of "rebuilding the world" into an advanced communitarian civil society. Today, thanks to millions of "useful idiots" (whose beliefs helped murder a 100 million innocents), the left and right have nearly achieved the ultimate chaos necessary for humanity's pleading to the U.N. for a more powerful global humanitarian peacekeeping force. The founder of the Communitarian Network, Amitai Etzioni, has been an adviser in the White House since 1979. Etzioni says: "Nationalism must be ended. It is a creed that has come to burden the expansion of globalism." He explains the communitarian approach as one that, "... favors shifting much of the defining involvements of citizens in those countries afflicted with nationalism from the nation-state to the body society, specifically to communities (not to be confused with local governments)" (Etzioni 1992). Communitarian "thinkers" were essential to introducing the solution as an accredited social science "project" (Milbank 2001; Allen 2002). Communitarians also perform valuable backdoor assaults on American standards for individual liberty defined by the U.S. Bill of Rights and U.S. State Constitutions (Etzioni 1999). Communitarian scholars exploit bogus explanations for America's moral decline and loss of communal bonds. They use their elitist think-tank influence to piggyback their theoretical solutions into all new and established national programs. Rebuilding community, part of the domestic and exported globalist's War on Terror (Bush 2002), is entirely a communitarian-based solution. The appointed Iraqi Interim Council is the communitarian model for the globalist's plans for rebuilding the Middle East. In 2003, the transformational Marxist solution to the thousands of global conflicts between the left and the right (solidly represented in every country of the world) is the communitarian balance between the conflicts of opposites, a "radical middle", called a Third Way (Milbank 2001; Blair 2000; Clinton 1992; Allen 2002; )Mark Satin, the editor of Radical Middle Newsletter, says his newsletter "expresses an emerging political perspective." Stressing "one world citizenship," Satin advertises all the "new" ideas for global communism, with a friendlier face. For over a century the communitarian solution has been successfully implemented. It now openly exists via outright international communitarian laws, or, as in the U.S., via community justice, community development, community government, community councils, community volunteerism, and community policing. Every new program in the U.S. that uses the words "sustainable, livable, safe, and healthy community" (and accepts government/NGO grants) is a communitarian solution. In the 21st century, every member of every known political party on the planet potentially plays a role in furthering Marx's dialectic games (Satin 2002). The Marxist game is so brilliantly designed that the more fervent your dedication to your personal beliefs, the more powerful a tool you become in the hands of the global communitarians (Fraizer 2002). Communitarian solutionists either design or infiltrate both sides of every conflict. Global Marxist change agents clamor loudest for the United Nations to end world chaos, and are prominent in every global movement designed to "usher in world peace" (antiwar.com). Initially, a Marxist change agent was a secret entity, today it is a masters program in elite universities, and Marxist change agent COPS are advisers in most U.S. Agenda 21 community meetings. The most brilliant of the communitarian scholars have already positioned themselves into a libertarian-communitarian divide and predefined the "final American debate" (Dionne 2003). The master game theorists already know that the U.S. Libertarian party platform is logically indefensible against the unreasonable but morally superior argument of the global community.
Benevolent international communitarians are "shoring up the moral, political and social environment" (Communitarian Platform 1993), whether national, American, Christian, or Islamic. Their programs balance all national self-interests against the more humane, modern version of communitarian-ra (Beinin 1996). As for the future, not only are American law schools teaching communitarian law (Harvard 2000) and Talmudic Law (Zacariah 2002) to American lawyers and judges, Chinese communitarian courts and the United Nations export local regulations as blueprints for overruling national laws (Miethe 2003; Veon 1998-2003). Global to local Zionist-communitarian law prevails (Wald 1998), and unnatural evolution guides us into holistic subservience to a superior, master empire. In the words of David Ben Gurion, Amitai Etzioni's patron, who was quoted in Look Magazine in 1962: "In Jerusalem, the United Nations (a truly United Nations) will build a Shrine of the Prophets to serve the federated union of all continents; this will be the seat of the Supreme Court of Mankind (Duke 2002)."
Note from Niki Raapana on January 2, 2009. It's been six years since we published the first edition of "What is the Hegelian Dialectic?" at this website. Our site has gone through several revisions, and when we redesigned the site into the format you now see this page was not uploaded along with Part I and Part II. I decided to put it back up because our studies on Hegel are ongoing and unfinished. There are a few missing elements that have a substantial bearing on Hegel's impact, particularly the works of August Compt. I will be adding more to this page in the next few months, updating it with all the research I've gathered since 2005. This will take some time; thank you for your patience. Go back to Page 1

December 8, 2005 -- Okay, now I've come full circle back to Lyndon LaRouche. What a long strange trip it's been. In my quest to ID the Dutch bankers who loaned the U.S. money, I ended up reading The Nature of Man, As the Subject of Strategy. In 1995 it was called the "Third Wave." Uh huh. December 6, 2005 -- Catholic Encyclopedia: The United States of America published in 1912 has references we haven't seen yet and many important facts we overlooked while writing our history of communitarianism. The specific debates between the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists will consume me in my later years. Right now I'm trying to find details of the Dutch loans Adams obtained from the merchants and the bankers. Who were they? Many sources tell the names of the French lenders and supporters, but so far every one I've read tonight just says "Dutch merchants and bankers." This article includes a very interesting explanation of the American system: "Early Political Parties. In the Constitutional Convention at Philadelphia there were many discrepant elements. We are now concerned with only two, viz., those who favoured the foedus, or union, under the proposed system and those who opposed it. The former were known as Federalists, the latter as Anti-Federalists. When the Constitution was finally adopted, the Anti-Federalists became "strict constructionists" and the Federalists "loose constructionists". President Washington had generally acted with the Federalists. Adams also belonged to that party. It was during his presidency that Congress enacted the celebrated Alien and Sedition Laws. These measures were unpopular, and, combined with the attitude of the Federalists during the War of 1812, led to their complete overthrow. They had organized the government and given it its tendency, but after the administration of Adams they became little more than a party of protest. In 1800 the followers of Jefferson, then known as Republicans, won the presidency. They had previously obtained control of Congress. At that time the conflict in progress between England and France divided the American people on the question of foreign relations. The Federalists, who were strongest in New England, favoured England, while the Republicans generally sympathized with France, the late ally of the United States. After the War of 1812 party lines had been almost effaced. President Monroe was practically the
unanimous choice of the American people. The rivalry of Andrew Jackson and Henry Clay led, after 1829, to the rise of a new political party. The followers of Clay were known as Whigs, those of Jackson as Democrats. Clay and his friends favoured internal improvements at federal expense, and the continuance of the United States Bank, an institution first chartered by the Federalists. They also favoured a tariff for protection. These principles formed what is known as the "American" system. Of course, the Whigs were "loose constructionists" of the Constitution. To these principles the Democrats were opposed. That organization is generally regarded as being identical with the Jeffersonian party. William Henry Harrison, the first Whig president, served for one month. His successor, Vice-President Tyler, though an admirer of Henry Clay, was a "strict constructionist". Again in 1848 the Whigs elected General Zachary Taylor and Millard Fillmore. This was their last victory. Their attitude toward the Fugitive Slave Law impaired their popularity, and in 1852 they met with a crushing defeat. In 1856 a new organization, composed chiefly of anti-slavery elements nominated Fremont and Dayton, the first candidates of the Republican party. They were defeated. After 1860, however, they won all the presidential elections except those of 1884 and 1892, when Grover Cleveland, the Democratic candidate, was chosen. The third parties, generally parties of moral ideas, will be noticed presently." December 4, 2005 -- The Real Cause of the American Revolution by Ellen Brown: "The colonies thrived without silver or gold until 1751, when paper 'legal tender' was outlawed in New England by King George II. The result was to force the colonists to borrow the British bankers' silver and gold (or their paper banknotes that were ostensibly receipts for it). In 1764, Parliament extended the ban on paper money to all of the colonies, and ordered that only gold and silver could be used to pay taxes. Only a year later, Franklin wrote in his Autobiography, the streets of the colonies were filled with unemployed beggars, just as they were in England. The money supply had been suddenly reduced by half, leaving insufficient funds to pay for the goods and services these workers could have provided. This, Franklin said, was the real reason for the Revolution. It was "the poverty caused by the bad influence of the English bankers on the Parliament which has caused in the colonies hatred of the English and . The Revolutionary War." " November 25, 2005 -- Poverty and Solidarity by Felipe Zegarra, a Peruvian diocesan priest, Professor of Theology at the Catholic University of Peru and Pastor of a huge working-class parish in the dock area of Port Callao, Lima: "The first thing that must be done "with works and in truth" (1 Jn 3:18) is to encourage the affirmation of the individual. But we need to be careful that self-esteem, an issue and contribution of contemporary society, does not lead to individualism. Hobbes and his followers during their times, the broadest philosophical tradition from the end of the 18th century, is aimed at understanding that subjectivity is not equal to intimacy, but is the true foundation of inter subjectivity, of valuing others, of health and desirable interpersonal relations. "Love of self" and "general will" (Rousseau), the human being as an end (Kant), self-awareness and mutual recognition (Hegel), reciprocity of consciousness (Nedoncelle), life in dialogue (Buber), personalism (Mounier), humanism from the "condemned of the earth" (Fanon and Sartre), 'from the other" (Levinas), communicative action (Habermas), neocommunitarianism (Scannone), are good examples of this."

November 15, 2005 -- Everyone agrees Hegel in not easy to understand. Academics, philosophers, economists and theorists (including Karl Marx) have been promising to simplify Hegel's dialectic theory for over 150 years. This book was published in May 2005... did the author finally achieve the unachievable? What if the entire point of Hegel is to never be understood?
the man, but he could not kill his exemplary record of humanitarian achievements and public service. Bro. McKinley's remains were accompanied from the White House to the Capitol by five Commanderies of Knights Templar. He lay in state two days, and on September 19, 1901, uniformed Knights Templar, some two thousand strong, formed one full division of the funeral escort." Some questions linger: Did McKinley die from gangrene or blood poisoning? Did his assassin meet with Goldman once or twice? Did he start the War with Spain or did Teddy Roosevelt start it when he worked for the Secretary of the Navy? Why did McKinley choose the unpopular, elitist "nabob" Teddy Roosevelt as his V.P.? What all did he plan to accomplish with his "trustbuster," the Industrial Commission, "which interrogated Carnegie, Rockefeller, Schwab, and other industrial titans"? (And why did TR later claim it as his own?) How odd that this important man in American history has received so little attention in our history lessons. It was big, big news in 1901. We're also noticing some very conflicting accounts of who McKinley was, as with so many other conflicting accounts. For instance, I'm reading the hardcopy book, Rule by Secrecy by Jim Marrs, an award winning journalist and "celebrated reporter." Marrs' astonishing history of secret societies and their influence on American history is supposed to be painstakingly researched, but when he discusses American finance and banking, he doesn't mention McKinley once. McKinley was supposed to restore the gold and silver standards, which is a key piece to the banking dialectic. Marrs also claims Andrew Jackson's shutting down the National Bank was a good thing, and he further claims Jackson (the Freemason) brought the country out of debt in 1835. This is contrary to evidence we presented in Part II. Marrs describes the role of the Hegelian dialectic on pp. 194-5-6 Coincidentally, another visitor to the Pan American Exposition in 1901 was Belva Ann Lockwood. (Lockwood is listed in Women's Studies along with British Fabian Theosophist Annie Bessant.) "She is here to attend the session of the National Peace Conference, which convenes next Monday, and to speak at its first session upon the International Arbitration Court, which was created at The Hague, and which was brought about largely through her earnest efforts and influence for arbitration." Worldbook's Leaders in the Suffragist Movement tell us: "Belva Ann Bennett Lockwood was a reformer and womansuffrage leader. She was one of the few women nominated for President of the United States. She taught school for many years, and became a lawyer in 1873. She worked for women's rights, and won equal pay for women government employees and a law allowing women to practice before the Supreme Court. She also successfully defended land rights of the North Carolina Cherokee Indians. In 1884 and 1888, the Equal Rights Party nominated her for President. She was born in Royalton, New York."NARAGuide to Federal Recordsof International Conferences, Commissions and Expositions includes at Section 43.2.8 Records of the U.S. Delegations to the First and Second, International Peace Conferences.

In The Nine Nobel Women we learn who Addam's supporters were: "In 1923 the Committee's adviser recommended her in his report, and she had a distinguished list of supporters, including Woodrow Wilson, John Dewey, Felix Frankfurter, Robert LaFollette and Sidney Webb, but no prize was awarded for that year. Four more times she was on the short list before she shared the divided prize of 1932 with Nicholas Murray Butler."

August 28, 2005 -- RE: McKinley assassination-- First, we found a San Francisco Chronicle article about the Bohemian Grove "club" in California http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/ a/2004/07/18/SFCLUBS.TMP where the reporter said: "In fact, whole newspaper empires have been flung out. The club has an offshoot called the Family that came into being after the Hearst-owned Examiner ran a 1901 piece in which Ambrose Bierce predicted the assassination of President William McKinley. When McKinley was assassinated soon after, the club threw out its Hearst people and removed its newspapers from the clubrooms." This led us to the Boston Globe article The president and the assassin "A century ago, terrorists struck at the heart of America. Our leaders hit back hard and also began addressing the country's real problems." By Eric Rauchway, The Boston Globe, 9/7/2003. This article confirms our worst fears about McKinley's assassination. We've just recently started re-studying the more sinister aspects of the secret societies. Our whole thesis just got really creepy.
So on Sept. 6, 1901, when an anarchist assassin fatally shot President William McKinley at the PanAmerican Exposition in Buffalo, thus elevating Vice President Theodore Roosevelt to the White House, it was shocking but not exactly surprising. Indeed, before the attack various seers had with varying seriousness prophesied McKinley's murder. Ambrose Bierce predicted it; the president's secretary, George B. Cortelyou, dreaded it; and on the afternoon of the assault, Exposition organizers James Quackenbush and Louis Babcock wondered ``if it would not just be Roosevelt's luck for someone to shoot the President.'' The nation's guardians knew that terrorists wanted to strike the United States, which had become the capital of capitaland, since McKinley's decision to acquire the Philippines and Puerto Rico, a newly imperial power. Even so, they did little to prevent an attack; and so McKinley walked to the head of a receiving line at the Exposition's Temple of Music. The apparently innocuous Leon F. Czolgosz simply waited in line until he got to the front and then shot him. The killing put American officialdom in an awkward position. They wanted to dismiss the assassin as a madman. That way, as Czolgosz's court-appointed defense attorney Loran L. Lewis suggested, they could avoid difficult questions of why terrorists wanted to attack in the first place, and whether they could have been stopped. ``If it can be that you find this defendant was not responsible for the crime,'' Lewis implored the jury, ``you would aid in uplifting a great cloud off from the hearts and minds of the people of this country and the world. . .. If our beloved President had met with a railroad accident coming to our city and had been killed, . . . we should all mourn over the loss of such a just man, but our grief would not compare to the grief we have now. . .. But if you could find that he met his fate by the act of an insane man, it would amount to the same as though he met it accidentally.'' There would be no need for queries, that way, about whether anarchist terrorism could be deflected from American targets. But declaring the killer insane would mean sparing his life, so the authorities scrambled first to seek vengeance and then to prevent inquiry into the attack. Thomas Penney, the local district attorney, declared, ``Czolgosz was sane and an anarchist without question.'' Beyond that, though, he wished to ``suppress all that was possible,'' and refused to release records of his investigation.
On Oct. 29, prison guards muzzled Czolgosz in the middle of his final statement as he sat in the electric chair, to prevent him making an ``anarchistic speech'' that might be relayed to other terrorists. The prison warden had him specially buried in a grave filled with sulfuric acid to ensure the speedy dissolution of his body. Even the dead man's remains would tell no tales.
Big Ben Parker and President McKinley's Assassination explains McKinley's well-known love for fairs, and tells another version of the shooting: "As the fast-moving line brought him directly in front of the president, Czolgosz shot twice. The first bullet knicked off a button on McKinley's vest, the second tore into the President's stomach. The handkerchief burst into flames, falling to the floor.A secret service man's initial eyewitness acount:'Parker struck the assassin in the neck with one hand and with the other reached for the revolver which had been discharged through the handkerchief and the shots had set fire to the linen.While on the floor Czolgosz again tried to discharge the revolver but before he got to the president the Negro knocked it from his hand.' While Czolgosz was pounced on and beaten by the attending soldiers and guards, McKinley, amid the screeching pandemonium in the room, was carried out and several minutes later was being rushed in an electrical ambulance to the exposition hospital./Parker clearly prevented Czologoz from firing a third time. However, it was poor medical technique not bullet which uptimately caused McKinley's death. The wound was closed without disinfecting, even standard at that time, so McKinley died September 14 of gangrene." Pan American Exposition Tour tells about Dr. Matthew D. Mann, a respected Buffalo gynecologist. "On September 6, Dr. Mann will be summoned to the Exposition grounds after President McKinley was shot. Among the doctors gathered at the Emergency Hospital on the Exposition grounds, Dr. Mann will be elected to perform the surgery on the President./He was not a surgeon and he had no experience with gunshot wounds." This site is a wonderful collection of pictures giving an overall feel for the exposition. It celebrated a whole new era of American elitist and very high dollar consumerism: "Indeed, the 20th century has begun and this Exposition gives tantalizing visions of the wonders the future will reveal. We can have faith that America will lead the way to better life for all who are willing to work hard. We have defeated European powers in the New World, driving Spain out just as we drove the British out of our 13 colonies 125 years ago." And near the end of the tour we see the ultimate goal of the planners, "And, through mutually beneficial trade relations furthered by this Exposition, why can't we look forward to eliminating war entirely?" Apparently dead presidents don't get in the way of imperialist ambitions either, nor do they deserve a real surgeon just in case they survive an assassination attempt.. McKinley was moved to the home of Expo Board Director John G. Milburn, where he died a week later. Milburn was one of the attorneys for HARRIMAN v. INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION, 211 U.S. 407 (1908). More here. The Temple of Music at the Buffalo Expo was not your average building either:
In the annals of World's Fairs, the 1901 Buffalo fair is listed, as a matter of record. However, it is one of the lesser-remembered fairs. This is not due to a lack of planning or physical appeal, but rather to the fact that on September 6, 1901, President William McKinley was shot and killed at the Temple of Music. This was the kind of event that is so infamous and carries such bad press that it condemns everything it touches, from the setting, the surrounding events, and the people involved, to the same black blanket of notoriety. Due to the President's assassination, the popularity of the Fair spiraled downward. Despite the deploring of the Fair, however, it was home to some remarkable buildings. The displayed colored rendering of the Temple of Music is from the pages of Pan American Exposi-
tion: Buffalo 1901, a guidebook to the Buffalo Fair. With bright colors, the picture accurately captures the image of the Temple and its surrounding buildings. The Temple, designed by August C. Esenwein, could hold 2,200 people. On the main stage, a gigantic pipe organ was installed for concerts. On the outside the Temple was painted in a mixture of colors, mostly pastels, ranging from blue-green to scarlet. Along with the main "Pan-American" architectural mode of the Fair, it was built in the Spanish Revival style, and sported a central, brightly colored, octagonal dome that rested on a square base. Facades had intricate moldings that covered the outside of the Temple, from angels playing instruments to the large "MVSIC" sign in Roman characters over the main entrance. The Temple of Music fulfilled several practical and symbolic functions. It acted as a general reception hall and place to commemorate special occasions. The main ceremonies of Dedication Day were held here, where many dignitaries showed up to enjoy the fair, and Vice President Theodore Roosevelt gave the opening speech. Here several ambassadors were received and introduced to the Pan-American Exposition. As a universal language, music had the capacity to speak to anyone and greet them equally. With its large stage and great acoustics, it was ideal for ceremonies ranging from award banquets to dialogs from famous speakers. It also served as the main house for pipe organ performances, as well as those from numerous bands. In this drawing, one can also see the centrally-located Electric Tower rising in the distance, separated from the Temple by the Court of Fountains. Although the announced occasion for the fair was to strengthen cultural and economic ties with Latin America after the Spanish-American War of 1898, an ulterior motive was to attract attention, both from potential citizens and business partners, to the Buffalo area. One of the reasons why the local government suddenly wanted to advertise Buffalo was the new Niagara Falls dam, opened in 1896, which provided low-cost electricity. The Electric Tower symbolized the importance of electricity to Buffalo. At 375 feet high, it stood tall over all the buildings at the Fair. Its general colors were white and light blue, being relieved by streaks of green and gold. Henry Cobb, the Electric Tower's architect, designed it in the Spanish Revival style, with the main shaft remaining smooth and unadorned only to be topped with elaborate ornamentation. The base expanded outward into two wings supported by an antique colonnade. The peak held a statue of "Lady Electricity Lighting the World". The waters of Niagara Falls flowed through the bottom of the Tower, and the surrounding statues were accordingly aquatic, symbols of the newfound power of hydroelectricity. 240,000 eight-watt light bulbs were placed all around the Fair, but especially along the length of the Tower and the adjacent Court of Fountains, which together held about 70,000. In the evening, the Tower was bathed in light. This, along with the Tower's tall, decorated faade, made it the spectacle of the 1901 Fair. Where previous Fairs had chosen to further their themes solely through architecture, the 1901 organizers also considered building placement and color, bring fair planning to a new level. The layout of the buildings was devised so as to represent the aspect of man's environment within three main categories. Looking north, the left side of the fair was reserved for the natural surroundings of man, signified by the Horticulture Building, Mines & Metallurgy buildings, and the Rose Garden. The right was set aside for man's institutions, including the US Government building and the international pavilions. The middle, where the two sections met, was the place where the "genius of man" was displayed, the result of the use of both nature and society. This third portion is shown on the postcard, with the Temple of Music to the left of the central Tower. This positioning placed the subject of music towards the "natural" left side and the harnessing of electricity in the center as the most prominent of man's accomplishments. The color for the Fair was handled by Charles Y. Turner, who concentrated on depicting through hues and shades the struggle and triumph of man over the elements. On the outskirts of the Fair, which held pavilions on primitive cultures and societies, the buildings were painted in harshly contrasting primary colors, depicting both the ele-
mentary natures of the societies and their discordant, crude temperaments. Inwards, towards the center of the Fair, the buildings began to deal with progressively "better" societies, and correspondingly, the colors became lighter and more muted. The Temple of Music, as shown in the image, was painted in light pastels, with some patches of bright red, signifying its presence in archaic societies as well as modern ones. The Electric Tower, considered to represent the most advanced aspect of the Fair, was the lightest of all, painted near white. This method of "metaphorical planning" {a figure of speech in which a word or phrase literally denoting one kind of object or idea is used in place of another to suggest a likeness or analogy between them-Ed.} inspired several later cities to utilize similar techniques in their fairs, such the "Mediterranean" architecture scheme of the 1915 San Diego Exposition and the utilitarian coloring of the 1933 Chicago Fair. -Ricardo Gonzalez

August 21, 2005 -- Island of Freedom presents a most concise overview of how Hegelian philosophy influences modern politics: "Absolute Mind also manifests itself in the individual, who develops from a subjectivistic state to an objective rational consciousness through developmental phases of family, society, and state. To Hegel human history is the progression from bondage to freedom. Freedom is achieved as the desires of the individual are integrated into the unified system of the state, in which the will of one is replaced by the will of all. This theory is shown in his division of history into three stages, the first of which is in the ancient orient where only the ruler was free, the second in Greece and Rome where some were free, and modern world where all are considered free. This view of history divided Hegel's followers into left- and right-wing camps, with leftists like Marx turning the dialectic of Spirit into the dialectic of economic conditions and rightists stressing the unity of the state and breathing new life into Protestantism. " "What we are witnessing is not just the end of the Cold War, or a passing of a particular period of postwar history, but the end of history as such: that is, the end point of mankind's ideological evolution and the universalization of Western liberal democracy as the final form of human government."

August 6, 2005 -- Here's another version of what was happening in 1896 between the parties. Speech by William Jennings Bryan Cross of Gold, July 9, 1896. Bryan, a Democrat, argues for the silver standard and against the gold standard, which he calls a tool of the foreign banks. "And now, my friends, let me come to the paramount issue. If they ask us why it is that we say more on the money question than we say upon the tariff question, I reply that, if protection has slain its thousands, the gold standard has slain its tens of thousands. If they ask us why we do not embody in our platform all the things that we believe in, we reply that when we have restored the money of the Constitution all other necessary reforms will be possible; but that until this is done there is no other reform that can be accomplished./ Mr. McKinley was nominated at St. Louis upon a platform which declared for the maintenance of the gold standard until it can be changed into bi-metalism by international agreement. Mr. McKinley was the most popular man among the Republicans, and three months ago everybody in the Republican party prophesied his election. How is it today? Why, the man who was once pleased to think that he looked like Napoleon -- that man shudders today when he remembers that he was nominated on the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo. Not only that, but as he listens he can hear with ever-increasing distinctness the sound of the waves as they beat upon the lonely shores of St. Helena."

"From time to time I stop by Amitai Etzioni's website. And I generally find it most refreshing. Not that I am prepared to sign on to the Communitarian Manifesto, mind you (assuming there is such a thing). I would be hesitant to give Prof. Etzioni free rein to make laws. But I would be very pleased to have him as a neighbour, and even more pleased if a critical mass of people who share his values also lived in the neighbourhood. But lately I've noticed a disturbing theme. Prof. Etzioni has taken to defending the teaching of 'intelligent design theory' in school science lessons. UPDATE: In a new post, Prof. Etzioni takes a more nuanced view of ID in the schoolroom. (No permalinks; just go the main page.) He was replying primarily to an, emm, somewhat sharply-phrased post by PZ Myers (who does not suffer fools, or even those who give the appearance of possible foolishness, gladly). As Etzioni now puts it: I asked why not use the comparison between evolution and intelligent design, in science classes, to show students the difference between a theory supported by scientific facts and those that are not? ... Students should be exposed to theories of both evolution and Intelligent Design and shown which one is scientifically supported. [Emph. supplied.]"
May 13, 2005 -- BELOW: COMMUNITARIAN ANARCHISM AS A NEGLECTED DISCOURSE IN HISTORIES OF ECONOMIC THOUGHT by Rob Knowles*. And now it's almost time to study communitarian anarchism. May 10, 2005 -- We've written Professor Merrill and asked for his opinion of this page.
"Those who drafted and adopted the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights in 1787 were well aware of the teachings and ideologies of philosophers like Milton, Locke, Voltaire and Mill. Merrill describes the 18th Century American voices of Franklin, Adams, Jefferson and Madison as intellectuals who gave a governmental form and structure to the philosophical ideas enunciated by Milton, Locke, Voltaire and Mill. It is, therefore, no fluke at all that the First Amendment guarantee comes first in the Bill of Rights. In contrast to Milton, Locke, Voltaire and Mill, author Merrill outlines the ideas of late 18th and 19th Century philosophers such as Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Immanuel Kant, Arthur Schopenhauer and Karl Marx. And he makes the case that these are the natural forerunners of many of today's communitarian thinkers who are attracted to people's journalism, public journalism or civic journalism."

April 30, 2005 -- Hegel and The Libertarians by Paulo Roberto Monteiro De Araujo.
The first problem of post-structuralism, then, is how to evade an Hegelian foundation. In order to appreciate the extent of this problem, however, we have to recognize the serious restrictions facing such a project in this social and historical context. Chtelet argues, in curiously dialectical fashion, that the only viable project to counter Hegelianism is to make Hegel the negative foundation of philosophy. Those who neglect the initial step of addressing and actively rejecting Hegel, he claims, those who attempt simply to turn their backs on Hegel, run the risk of ending up, finally, as mere repetitions of the Hegelian problematic. "Nombreuses, certes, sont les conceptions philosophiques actuelles que ignorant l'hglianisme .... Elles sont dans la fausse signification des commencements absolus et de plus, se privent d'un bon point d'appui. Mieux vaut-- comme Marx et comme Nietzsche--commencer par Hegel, puisqu'il est une fin." [4] Hegelianism was such a powerful vortex that in attempting to ignore it one would inevitably be sucked in by its power. Only antiHegelianism provided the negative point of support necessary for a post-Hegelian project. Furthermore, Chtelet specifies that, at least within the context of Continental theory, there were two avenues available for pursuing this project: a Nietzschean philosophical critique of Hegel and a Marxist political critique."
March 19, 2005 -- Wikipedia -- definition of a dialectic. What an incredible realization of who exactly Karl Popper was! So many other people we knew we needed to read "sometime," because they showed up in the research. But we definitely should have read Popper. The problem has always been there have been many different players (and plays) used in creating the ultimate synthesis. The number of dialectical conflicts played out in just the past year is uncountable. It's a difficult subject for anyone who tries to get past the confusion. Everyone comes to their own conclusion. The facts don't change. And Popper was right on. This article is just a very nice and easy to understand overview (without any of the bias we have on our pages). Nice to see we haven't made too many mistakes in our facts. Wikipedia is turning into a fine online resource site and it's pages are being copied into many other resource sites. Their Zionism pages
are a another great example of a collaborative effort of dedicated academics. They have achieved as neutral a place as is possible for people who don't shy away from the taboo topics. (Now if they would put up a definition for anticommunitarian.) I love their opening line: "Broadly speaking, a dialectic (Greek: ??????????) is an exchange of propositions (theses) and counter-propositions (antitheses) resulting in a disagreement."

Appendix B. 7 Quotes that validate the ACL thesis that communitarianism IS the synthesis in the Hegelian dialectic:
"Pope John Paul's great vision of communitarianism and a New Global Order has yet to receive the recognition it deserves in furthering the understanding that humanity is built on religious values, without which transformations in totalitarian regimes would have been impossible. The essence of communitarianism, as put forth by the Vatican, consists of seeking middle ground between Marxist collectivism and rigid individualism and capitalism. Phillips traces the history of communitarianism through Aristotelian and Judeo-Christian writings, clarifying the proper function of the community in helping individuals help themselves by mobilizing church resources and countering anti-religious movements such as Nazism and communism. Communitarianism presents an encouraging universal notion of freedom, transcending the one-sided stances of Marxism and libertarian capitalism and promoting the vision of a unified human destiny." Communitarianism, the Vatican, and the New Global Order by Robert L. Phillips, Carnegie Council.org. Added Oct 6, 2005
"The Socialist Alliance programme is the foundation upon which everything else is built, including in time our exact organisational forms and constantly shifting tactics. The programme links our continuous and what should be all-encompassing agitational work with our ultimate aim of a communitarian, or communist, system. Our programme thus establishes the basis for agreed action and is the lodestar, the point of reference, around which the voluntary unity of the Socialist Alliance is built and concretised. Put another way, the programme represents the dialectical unity between theory and practice." [emphasis added] Posted by Towards a common Socialist Alliance programme

"The market economics of the Right and the government bureaucracies of the Left have weakened society's connectedness. They have not been effective forums for collective action. For Right-wing politics, this is not much of an issue. It has always believed in the supremacy of individual freedom and individual action. For the Left, however, it is a huge problem. The old ideologies positioned politics as a struggle for ownership, the historic battle between socialism and capitalism. The Third Way, by contrast, sees politics as an exercise in communitarianism: rebuilding the relationships and social capital between people. It aims to put the social back into social justice. This is an important strategy for combating individualism and generating a sense of collective responsibility in society. "
Australian Fabian Society, Re-inventing Collectivism: The new Social Democracy by Mark Latham, Member for Werriwa Third Way Conference, Centre for Applied Economic Research, University of New South Wales, Sydney, 12 July 2001 *******************************************
Starting in 1960, the doctrine of the movement, "National-European Communitarism" whose social character was affirmed from the beginning, derived from nationalcommunist positions.
After the definitive elimination of the right-wing sector of the organization in 1964, Thiriart would lead Young Europe in a direction in which two general orientations dominate: on one hand, radical anti-Americanism and, on the other, a progressive approach to national-communist positions. Thiriart sees Communitarism as surpassing communism and not as its opponent, this is a typical national-Bolshevik posture. In 1965, he defined Communitarism as "national-European socialism" and he added that "in the mid century, communism will become, wanting it or not, Communitarism" (19). In this, history has had to agree with him given that before the fall of the Soviet block, the economic reforms that were introduced in Hungary and Romania took communist economy towards Communitarism (20)." Jean Thiriart's doctrinal works of the early eighties and those developed in the same period by the P.C.N., assume this last tendency. For this purpose, this party presents Communitarism as an "ideology of synthesis that wishes to fuse Marxist-Leninist ideologies and national-revolutionary ones into a synthesis of doctrinal offensive: the socialism of the XXI century" (47).

"In a passage that is notable for its vagueness, Azevedo says that the CEBs should be the basis for a new communitarianism that rejects the two "bankrupt" models and systems "that are now polarizing the world," capitalism and Marxist socialism. This
communitarianism is to be "a dialectical synthesis, a new creation, superimposing itself on thesis and antithesis rather than retrieving them."
The passage illustrates the controversy in Latin American Catholicism between those who continue to endorse the "third-position-ism" (tercerismo) of Catholic social teaching and those (including all liberation theologians that I know of) who believe that only socialism can be in accord with Christian values."

"Commercial immorality indeed. This is the recognizable universe of our own time where the rich, capital, markets, and profit are still all attacked in the fashionable press, academia, and art by people educated in Marxist Sixties radicalism but completely ignorant or uncomprehending of the most elementary principles of free market economics. The full force of Hegel's statism, whether today it is called "communitarianism," the "politics of meaning," or something else, thus descends on property. And when any kind of private action becomes a matter of money, employment, children, weapons, or political activity (in someone's definition), then the state continues on in, police (which may be Hegel's own neologism, by the way), prosecutors, prisons, and all. Hegel, indeed, would be proud." Dr. Kelly Ross, Ph.d.
November 30, 2005 -- from Paul: Your wonderful work on Hegel has been very helpful to me in coming to understand the whole flow of the last 200 years of human history. Your http://nord.twu.net/acl/dialectic.html#one is excellent. Perhaps you will not be offended if I offer some minor observations. It is only a small point, but first I must take issue with you about the Catholic Church. It is a gross misrepresentation of John Paul's beliefs and teaching, which your contributor makes in claiming John Paul's support for communitarianism. It's nonsense. I was disappointed that you had allowed yourself to be mislead on that. The Church, almost by definition, cannot support a specific political ideology. Besides which, communitarianism is a transform of communism - that's the central point of your own argument - and I know of no intellectual or activist who compares with the late Pope in contesting the injustices and errors of the entire Hegelian-Marxist-Fabian stream of thought. The other point I would like to offer you is possibly closer to your area of expertise. You write: "So, what did the imperialists do next? They created a theory of collective worker's rights, and said their new idea of abolishing private property and controlling world markets was the best way to help laborers." The point at which anyone within the British oligarchy recognized Hegelian-Marxist thought as a clever way to extend their power is both unknown and, I would suggest, unknowable. Are we looking here at a great imperialist conspiracy of diabolical astuteness, or just an event that eventually becomes useful to the elite through the usual outworking of opportunism? The latter is obviously the more likely. Your assumption to the contrary weakens your argument, which is otherwise just and scientifically solid. I would love you to be right but some evidence would be nice. Hope you find this constructive and thank you for your heartfelt and important work. October 11, 2005 -- from Joseph de Nicola ( [email protected] / no homepage) wrote: "Can you tell me the difference between Hegel's dialectic and the Latin saying, "divide et impera" ("divide and rule")? "Divide et impera" was the motto of Philip of Macedon and of Louis XI of France, in dealing with his nobles. It is the traditional motto of Austria. Polybius, Bossuet, and Monteesquieu used it, but it is generally ascribed to Machiavelli, conveying that government is more easily maintained if factions are set against each other and not permitted to unite against the ruler. Didn't Hegel just take this old axiom and just complicate it? It seems a pity to give him and Marx so much credit when they were both just shills." September 9, 2005 -- #70 in our guestbook, Jim Morgan ( [email protected] / no homepage) wrote: The US Constitution is an expression of communitarian values. Any society based in law (and not in privilege) is communitarian. In fact, modern community theory is born out of constitutional law studies.
Perhaps if you folks were to seek professional therapeutic help for your antisocial pathologies, we would all be better off.
Niki's email response to Jim Morgan: Dear Jim, You wrote in our guestbook on 9-9-05: "The US Constitution is an expression of communitarian values. Any society based in law (and not in
privilege) is communitarian. In fact, modern community theory is born out of constitutional law studies. "Perhaps if you folks were to seek professional therapeutic help for your antisocial pathologies, we would all be better off. " Thank you for your hostility. We appreciate your sharing what you believe to be the foundation for communitarian values and modern community theory. Is there any possibilty you can back up your assertions with anything more substantial than psycho babble? We've produced proof that communitarianism is the synthesis in the Hegelian dialectic. We've established that Communitarian values and "norms" distort and bend constitutional law for a few privileged elites. We do agree on one point however. We agree that the "modern community theory" was born out of elitist studies of how to eliminate individual freedom guaranteed by our constitutional law. Your opinion would carry a lot more weight with us (and our thousands of readers) if you could disprove what we have documented with documents that counter or eliminate our arguments. Perhaps you could back up your absurd claims by disputing the following quotes: {here is where I inserted all the above quotes} We look forward to your reply which we will post unedited on our Hegel page.

[quoting Part II) In the words of David Ben Gurion, Amitai Etzioni's patron, who was quoted in Look Magazine in 1962: "In Jerusalem, the United Nations (a truly United Nations) will build a Shrine of the Prophets to serve the federated union of all continents; this will be the seat of the Supreme Court of Mankind (Duke 2002).". That just says it all doesn't it?? I hope you have seen the Israeli Supreme Court building It is amazing. Thank you for all this information. There is so much to know and so little time to read every bit of history that is needed to have an understanding. This information of what is really going on in the world that can be found at alternative news sites is so troubling and leaves me with a feeling of not being able to do anything about it. For months now I feel I'm in a state of shock. I have been sending out to about 30 people news articles for almost a year now. I felt something was wrong and wanted to know what it was. Of course this information has a way of making you look rather un-American. We have all become so blind. But then we always were.
June 6, 2005 -- From a Newspaper Editor in Florida: I asked him to read our Hegel page and our contest submission to the ADN-UAA Creative Writing Contest
So...to be turned down and/or ignored is a reaffirmation that you're on the right track. The brontosaurus is too compromised, stupid and/or lazy to understand what you're talking about. I, on the other hand, l-o-v-e-d your description and deconstruction of Hegel's dialectic. It's e-x-a-c-t-l-y what I've been trying to frame in my mind as an opinion page editor attempting to referee the absurd
and dangerous "debate" going on in this country. Your analogies and metaphors are both entertaining and on-point, and you kept me from having to read one more of Hegel's interminable tomes. Your writing, by contrast, is very economical, which is no mean feat considering the superficial complexity of the subject matter. I may yet find a way to get this onto our pages. It would be both a challenge and a blessing to readers who haven't become brain-dead.
Without knowing about Hegel (until I discovered your site), I independently arrived at an observation some time ago that a repeating strategy used in media by power wielders seems to be defining or bring to visibility a controversy or problem in a public context in order to get people talking. By defining the problem and context, you automatically confine the possible solution set to the courses of action already predetermined by the initiator of the controversy. This technique gives the illusion of public debate and obfuscates the true issues. While people are busy picking each other to pieces on AM radio talk shows over this or that 'crisis du jour' with the talking heads of other media adding to the confusion, the agenda of the controllers rolls on relentlessly. Through your very fine elucidation I understand that the roots of my observations lie in the philosophy of Hegel. I have to ask myself simple deductive questions: Do political science students know about Hegel? Hell yes. Do political science students grow up to be politicians? Hell yes. Do politicians become experts at wielding their knowledge for power and personal gain? Hell yes. Suddenly it's very clear how naive and small I am in relation to the self serving political system which now dominates this nation. P.S. In this regard it's interesting to ruminate on the Terri Schiavo case.
I have been reading all that you have posted on the web site about the Hegelian and have found quite a number of bad links. I am very interested in many of these links I have found to go nowhere. The sight where there are numerous bad links begins here: http://nord.twu.net/acl/ dialectic.html#four. I therefore ask that these be corrected. I am sorry to impose this on you.
