Socialism isn’t Protestantism, it’s occultism at the highest levels. The leading occult families of Europe migrated to the U.S. in colonial times and established their influence in masonic lodges. They are still exercising “deep power.”

Check out Madame Blavatsky’s influence. The “New Age” promoted around the 1970s, along with Cultural Marxism, was recycled nineteenth century masonic occultism. It is the reigning philosophy of the New Age network, which expresses as a centralized power source inside the United Nations.Check out Agenda 21. Check out Fritz Springmeier and monarch mind control. This will get you started. Moldbug is a bad starting point, but anti-enlightenment is the right track.

The right history to study is the history of occultism and secret societies.That’s your deep government.

Insofar as formalism concludes in a mere agreement, it isn’t satisfying anyone. One of the few substantial points of agreement across NRx is that an agreement plus $5 gets you a cup of coffee.

Moldbug’s core doctrine of the state is that:
a) the elected parts of the state do not do most of the governing
b) the structure of the state does not reflect the true nature of governance
c) the state must be reformed so that power is correctly formalized according to who is doing the governing.

“Formalism says: let’s figure out exactly who has what, now, and give them a little fancy certificate. Let’s not get into who should have what. Because, like it or not, this is simply a recipe for more violence. It is very hard to come up with a rule that explains why the Palestinians should get Haifa back, and doesn’t explain why the Welsh should get London back.”

The enemy of your enemy is not your friend and NRx should be wary of appropriation of its analysis into demotist movements. Nevertheless, it can only do that by having a better idea and then doing that instead.

Former Communist ala Trotskyite Bankers put their boy Rubin in with criminal, the rapist and congenital criminal [his brothers] and his wife [her brothers like his have Drug TRADE convictions – now that’s a criminal and that’s all folks] that they’d been protecting since his first known rape at Oxford in 1969, that they protected and enriched in Arkansas with the Drug smuggling trade, that they charged as the price of protection Rubin, rape of Russia and the criminalizing of Govt w/Finance through Russia’s stolen billions.

“cryptic alliance with them”. Well WTF do you have to offer these allies? Your Wit? Blogs? They can read your fucking emails and do if it interests them. What’s your crypsis to them?

What do you have to offer?

“The Deep State is a model of Exit.” Well the Deep State is the Foreign Policy/Finance/USG/Treasury/Harvard Hedge Fund/CFR model. Why do you think they want pseudo war over Ukraine? MONEY. Soros penned NYT Op-Ed calling for war with Russia to be waged by Europe with American support. That’s because Soros like most criminals is defective .

You have nothing to offer your allies, they have such people ruling us now.

Wit is not an offer. It’s a Luxury of a King who’s won, who needs a Fool to tell him Bitter Truths. Even Stalin had Nikita. And Kagan. Oh excuse me Kaganovich.

There’s your Deep State. Be Blest to know your Blest to have nothing to offer them, for they’re broke again you see. The actual Intel agencies they have made mortal enemies of – along with MIL, Cops, Vets – for you see their retarded concept of power is limited to exactly only 2 legs, both made of Paper: Corruption [which they wisely deny their force and their spies, cops, MIL as we’d supplant them in a Fortnight] so then they’re down to their idea of Tyranny: Endless Investigations. Endless Witchunts. THAT’S IT. As they are Mad, they are incompetent. The Singularity’s madness already happened to Cops, MIL, Vets, Spies and none of us are anything but stronger for it and contemptuous of them instead of dead as competent Tyrants would have ensured..

Order 66 that only results in the Storm-Troopers calling you poopy-head and calling for more investigations without real teeth isn’t the way to destroy the Jedi.

You have nothing to offer these allies, you are at best a supplicant. Who like their Masters now desires a power that makes them rabid at the slightest whiff, who like their masters now shirks at work. Who wants them to do it.

Know ye are Blest, for having nothing but Wit in a Chattering Age ye will likely be spared. You also have the chance to be men.

Even Moldbug says so in UR. Yes he took 20K words to say it, that’s his MO.

If you want to appeal to their spirit, though, it seems to me that a practical bearing is optimal. As it stands, many in NRx who you link to have silly ideas about the left being the strata of rule. I do enjoy your iterative changes, including the shift to the right, but I suspect that your shift to Reality will appeal more. The ideological aspects might seem unbalanced and demagogic. Or, at the very least, dazzled by the polarities which predominate in the attention-seeking public sphere and amongst those who argue and differentiate themselves intellectually for a living (academics).

These are people who deal in who, what, where, when, why, and how. Using detailed information. ‘Cthulhu’s inexorable move leftward’ might not cut it. Practicality and artful intelligence tend to be more convergent, and to identify with practical and artfully intelligent people. Eyes, not creeds. To transcend Populo, several more significant sacrifices might be called for.

I haven’t read your background sufficiently to claim to actually understand your ultimate motivations, but I think these comments stand, in so far as the aims expressed in this individual post are genuine.

Have you considered, though, just how profitable the present occultation is? The market runs on information, and total informational awareness allows total insider trading, if you have the proxy company structure to support it. Corporate ownership (and profit from sure trades) is easy to hide.

So, it seems like there’s a strong motivation to stretch things out rather than accelerate them. To keep the present system going so that as many resources as possible can be processed through it and siphoned into private material assets. That’s what boom-bust really does, anyway.

Further, the leftist lynch mob is stupid and easy to direct. You know that ruination by the kind of reputational damage which would once have been brushed off is an everywhere enforced public norm. How easy is it to play king-maker and king-slayer to everybody when you have information on everybody that could ruin them?

Haven’t you noticed that happening recently? Shadowy hackers sure are scary.

To think of the shot-caller’s motivations in ideological rather than dynastic terms (excluding the ideology of Dynasticism, Darwinism, which merely asserts dynastic will to power anyway) would be a historical mistake. And the present situation seems to be amenable to enough control, via information, to maintain a degree of stability and ensure further profit.

I agree with you that there is already an Exit in play here. You have already exited when you look down through a one-way viewing platform, when a thousand shells stand between your wealth and the public, when you are not an outsider to black budgets or the millions of classified documents, and when you do not ever have to remain in the physical proximity of the people for long.

Despite the initially stated affinities, I wonder why, being in such a position, one would care about the ‘exit’ of the people. NRx marks itself as populist by very virtue of not being a clan born from war or business. And cryptography would reduce the hold on the populace and the ability to manage the situation, perhaps setting the current volatile situation loose, and thus threatening your own exit.

But dynasties are few and the Deep State is big and doesn’t it seem like people with real pathei-mathos would be increasingly repelled by the delusional ugliness of the demos and the government it evokes for itself. So perhaps those with less of a stake but who are still involved might be amenable. That’s the majority.

And I think many drawn to intelligence are drawn by wanting to be involved in uncompromising Reality. By wanting to know and be involved. This seems similar to the instinct that NRx proclaims, in a more corrupted and less believable form. NRx is unfortunately paradoxical, in that it proclaims elitism whilst being constrained by the need to be public, and to be a form that those in need of an intellectual role in public can remain attached to. Its warping by this engagement seems to involve tensions that, if resolved, would make it far more attractive to the audience we’re discussing. They’re not irresolvable, but NRx’s current populism and twitterism do seem to constrain it, in the eyes of Reality, to being a propaganda vehicle rather than a beacon to be attracted to because of affinity.

So, I suppose that my only small difference from you here would be to suggest that you’re aiming at Deep State people on the fringe, not at leaders or owners considering their institution’s destiny. Given need-to-know and compartmentalization, that limits prospects. But why not try.

Otherwise, this whole occultic system dynamics theme is really alluring. You always seem to verge into violently progressive, visionary territory when at your most seductive. I suppose that shouldn’t be surprising. Perhaps the association with the middle-class right pulls people in, but it does seem to constrain the capacity of your vision to appeal to the really catalytic. Those whose adventuring spirits and lust are most afflicted by the leftist public sphere’s constraints perhaps won’t be drawn to the wails of the rejected which echo through NRx’s halls. Stars have bigger Games. Then again, I don’t know what you’re actually doing here. So the above might not matter. Perhaps you could enlighten me as to your highest priority audience and what you want them to do about having read you.
