The Progressive's Dirty Laundry

"There is nothing liberal or progressive about making bargains with the corporatists, fascists, and the corrupt power elites," writes David William Pear in Medical Martial Law: Liberalism’s Final Capitulation https://off-guardian.org/2020/06/05/medical-martial-law-liberalisms-final-capitulation/

That however is exactly what progressives have done for the past 100 years. The bargain goes like this:

Middle class: I will agree taxpayer money for the poor so long as I get my cut.
Billionaire: I will allow taxpayer money for the poor so long as a) it's not my money and b) you suppress the poor so they're no threat to the rich.

The origin of the Progressive movement has been clear as daylight since Theodore Roosevelt. It is a compromise with the robber barons of the day to suppress the trades union and make the working class dependent on handouts. In return the robber barons give up their monopoly control of industry and break up the trusts.

Note that the barons refuse to pay for welfare. that's the privilege of taxpayers. But this is not charity from the middle class either. They get a share of those payouts themselves: subsidies to buy their compliance.

The middle class is becoming wealthier, more influential, but the robber barons will not cede ultimate power. Robber barons agree to break up the trusts but the wealth does not vanish as the history books imply. Instead they shelter their wealth and power behind tax-exempt foundations. Thus Rockefeller, Carnegie, Baruch and Mellon's desire for power is simply disguised.

Brute force is exercised through three-letter agencies. The Pinkertons who bust up the Wobblies become the FBI using the exact same techniques of corporate spies, provocateurs, blackmailers and, where necessary, assassins. The Wall Street lawyers and British moneyed interests set up the Office of the Coordinator of Information, which becomes the OSS and later the CIA whose role as Wall Street's muscle is betrayed by its actions around the globe.

Thus progressives become a channel for the interests of the robber barons. They push the eugenic agenda and scientific racism. Progressives absolutely idolize the technocrat Mussolini.

And who finances all those progressive causes? It is the robber barons' foundations and sometimes even Wall Street's CIA. Check the list of foundations on the "about" tab. Who bankrolls the main progressive publications? Who funds Gloria Steinem and her feminist organization?

"In my experience [the CIA] was completely different from its image; it was liberal, nonviolent and honorable." 

Thus feminist prodigy Gloria Steinhem could declare, after her organization was exposed as being on the CIA payroll.

It's harder to pin down other individual progressive figureheads but the Guggenheim foundation was already working with the Carnegie Endowment to control the appointment of academics by the time of the Reece Report in 1953 - with the expressed intention of rewriting history.

"We want one class of persons to have a liberal education, and we want another class of persons, a very much larger class of necessity in every society, to forgo the privilege of a liberal education and fit themselves to perform specific difficult manual tasks.”  - Woodrow Wilson

Nomenclature, Nomenclatura

The Liberals in the U.S. are the latter, a class not a political movement. I see young people preferring the name, progressive, to describe the nature of their activism and objectives.

But as we have seen the label progressive is even more compromised. It comes with a "dirty underpants hamper", as Father Ted might have said. It was birthed as a pact with the elite, or even as a rebranding of the elite's objectives. Progressivism was the middle class answer to socialism: buy them off.

How we name things is very important and American politics is rife with euphemism. Meaning is not skewed by accident. Movements intended to protect the status quo are made to sound radical. Laws depriving Americans of their liberties are given names like patriot and freedom. In the same way, an undercover assassination bureau run by Wall Street's thugs gets a boring name like Permindex.

Do I have a bug in my bonnet about progressives? In so far as they use a name with a specific historical meaning and feign blissful ignorance. But I don't think it's simply ignorance. I think people of radical intent are being duped. They are duped by the progressive organizations that are founded by the same forces they claim to oppose.

What The Robber Barons Did

Viewed as separate events, the deaths of three Kennedys, two brothers and a son, can be portrayed as "shit happens". Yet shit happens to presidents and presidential candidates with striking regularity.

That tells you about the ultimate nature of the American political system and who controls it. The offer you can't refuse, comply or die, is the technique of the robber baron as much as the mafia. It's no surprise that three-letter agencies that were established as muscle for the robber barons should co-operate so readily with the mafia.

Yes, there are assassinations in other countries with no connection to the U.S..  Look closely however and many of those foreign assassinations are of curious, tangential benefit to U.S. corporations; carried out by "our man -- he's an SOB but he's our SOB"; or directly by U.S. agencies, especially one that's been described as a three-letter Wall Street club.*

View the Kennedy deaths in a timeline with the elimination of the black political leadership, and you see a coup not against an individual but against a country and its political class. 

Zoom out and there is the perpetuation of the war-time economy after WWII and the repatriation of the NAZI project back into America. This still elicits howls of denial and chest beating but I think the strongest denial nowadays represents disinformation from the security state.**

The reshaping of U.S. industry, foreign policy and even its form of government are presented by academics and the media as random, unrelated events. Once you identify the corporate power structure that owns the U.S., you can see it has used the same strategies abroad from interwar Germany and postwar Italy, Japan and Korea, through Operation Gladio in Europe and on to the NAZI-advised South American dictatorships. These events clearly share common protagonists and beneficiaries.

**The OSS-CIA effectively merged with the SS, making permanent what had been previously informal links like those of J.E. Hoover's FBI with the Gestapo. Industry saw in parallel the effective merger of Standard Oil and IG Farben and the import of vast numbers of senior NAZIs into US industry and government, into the international financial institutions like the BIS, and globalist institutions like the UN, the EU. The founding leadership of all these institutions was NAZI and remained so until the NAZI generation retired. The reins remained in the hands of the foundations that had sponsored those NAZIs and they are very much still in existence.
