Personality, Sensibility, and Business
Although capitalism, as a system, pretends to promote novelty, it’s a business arena that prefers stagnation, as living economies threaten establishment branding. Although protectionism is, in large part, frowned upon, marketing per se is similar to employment, where the approved approach of supplying a curriculam vitae (cv), or work history, is accompanied by a demand for adequate references from previous employers; for example. Upon contact they refer the opportunity to someone else, who’re branded, in the same way as familiar domestic household cleaners; acceptable slaves of the status quo.
The notion that the applicant is protected by ethical considerations is offset by the realpolitik of ‘smart practice’. The best are rejected in favor of the favored. In the writing of articles, stories, novels, theses, and scripts, et al, the author knows it as, ‘blind peer review’, or a filter similar to the mafia of academe, seeking to put out the eyes of their rivals, by preventing their work from being published, which in excluding from the discussion, cuts out the tongue also, so contemporaries, without a voice, are damned to be dumbed.
The same is true of branding, insofar as favored brands succeed, while better products are constantly produced. The result is ‘the stopped economy’, where the objective is to stopper ingenuity and innovation, like the genie in the bottle, suffocating development and progress, beyond cash in the pocket for retailers.
Of course, the customer hasn’t any objection to paying for goods, which isn’t obviously the case for many capitalists, who operate on the understanding that people shouldn’t be able to pay, as the things they purchase make of them spies and robbers. One well-known supermarket chain, TESCO, recently made it a condition of being freed from the environs of the store that the buyer receive a receipt, and show the bar code upon it to an automated reader.
As proof of having bought a ticket to regain admittance to the street, otherwise the turnstile at the exit would remain obdurate in its refusal to release the prisoner, who was required to spend money in the emporium, or face a shoplifting sentence, was based on the proprietor’s perception that those who visited retail establishments, to see what they had on their shelves, were spies. Those who left without paying, as they hadn’t bought anything, were robbing the owners.
In business law, there are certain legal obligations to be met by retailers; for example, ‘invitation to treat’ is a term used to distinguish between an offer before a buyer, that is, browsing and/or window-shopping isn’t illegal, while ‘merchantability’ means an item fit for the purpose bought, which along with ‘buyer beware’, as an obligatory injunction to ascertain that it’s ‘as advertised’, establishes its agreed identity and value.
If a receipt for an item can’t be produced, upon its return to the store for any reason, the retailer is under no obligation, under tort law, to consider it. In the case of an item deemed unfit, a receipt is required for the lodging of a complaint, should a refund/repair be desired, which is the intrinsic reason for receipts being issued, other than as proof of purchase, and definitely not as tickets at the turnstile, because the idly curious consumer isn’t liable to afford to pay to be released from confinement.
In accordance with ‘treat’, packaging has to indicate what the thing is for, although few people are prepared to interrogate the seller, on the basis that the wrapper, ‘hoodwinking’, denies what can be done with the contents. If the owner of the product doesn’t know what to do with it, the instructions, if obfuscating, designedly blinding the mark, as to what’s possible, is chicanery.
Although the term ‘mark’ is used interchangeably with ‘punter’, as someone who thinks they’re in with a chance at living a better life, after obtaining a receipt/ticket from what’s afforded at the fairground, the linguistic origination is biblical. Deriving from the Revelation of Jesus’ disciple, John, from the New Testament of the Bible, superseding the Old Testament of the Jewish Talmud and Torah, which is their history and law, based on the teaching of the Jewish rabbi, Jesus, ‘Christ’, that is, ‘Messiah’ of the Christian religion, upon which capitalism rests, with the places of its worship, churches, as the foundation for its building, legitimate or otherwise, ‘It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.’ (Rev: 13. 16-17) What this means is that ‘the beast’, which is what the description purports to be of, killed the human race to make it buy things that it didn’t want.
John, the ostensible prophet, riddles, ‘This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.’ (Rev: 13. 18) Although it seems complicated, the solution depends on the way 666 is written, as a recurring number, which essentially translates as two-thirds, or 66.6%, depicted in the Bible as the human ‘remnant’.
The clue is right at the start of the Jewish Old Testament, when Eve, the first woman, is told by the creator, God, in the paradise of Eden, that her seed will prevail against the beast, ‘You shall crush his head with your foot, but he will bruise your heel.’ (Gen: 3. 15) Jewish midrash, or exegesis, argue that the original humans were hermaphrodites, called ‘futanarian’ or ‘futa’, that is, the ‘foot’ of God, as Eve’s ‘seed’, constituting the missing 33.3% of the species, which of course would look much different from the retailers’ marks; if it had bred, ‘So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.’ (Gen: 1. 27) What retailers effectively do is reattach the devil’s tail.
The beast has killed that one-third of the human race God spoke of to Abraham, the progenitor of Judaism, through his son, Isaac, and of the religion of Islam, through his second son, Ishmael, ‘I will surely bless you, and I will multiply your descendants like the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore.’ (Gen: 22. 17-18) Eve’s seed has been prevented from leaving for the stars of heaven, amongst the rest of the planets in the universe, by making it pay for what can’t help it escape from death in mortality, as the beast won’t confer immortality, because that would admit of memory. Whereas taking money from memoryless infants is what human adults represent to purveyors of pacifiers to the concentrated campers on death row, awaiting the execution of their sentences by the goons of the local kommandant.
Put simply, if the location of the car keys can’t be recalled, the driver is in the position of having to wait for it to be reinvented by the religions of the cargo cultists, which is how the vampire drinks human blood. It was discovered, amongst primitives, in the ocean of the West Pacific, especially on the islands of Micronesia, Melanesia, and New Guinea, as they hadn’t airplanes, if they saw them, they made rough copies that didn’t fly, as they lacked the technology. To have what they didn’t, particularly amongst Asian countries, led to more cheaply manufactured copies of European and US’ goods, resulting in the foisting of lesser quality merchandise onto undiscerning markets, amidst accusations of industrial espionage, and was identified as how cargo cults functioned.
Capitalism is guilty of making the religion of the people on the planet Earth that of a cargo cult. Although the development of the means of transmitting music to the ears looks like progress, for example, the tft replacing compact disks, which in their turn replaced the cassettes that had replaced vinyl records, it’s a time-machine. The vampire drinks from wherever its mark can be persuaded to pay for it; irrespective of the cost, relative to the time zone; or of the level of the technology. Ignoring both the technical needs of the buyer, and that of the market; needing to raise the adaptability of its geeks to profit thereby.
For an individual who can afford to sit in ‘business class’, aboard an A320 Airbus, as opposed to someone buying a cheaper seat on a 747 ‘Jumbo’ jet airliner, rather than finance, the genuine difference lies with the attitude of the vampire towards its victims. Those who’re in financial straits, or who have to comply with the exigencies of penury, are being bled to death. However, rather than that the flyer is unviable, it’s the viability of the flyer that causes the vampire to sink its teeth in, so obviating a threat to the cargo cult, which wants people to believe they’re transported to heaven, rather than that they fly, after being airported at the foetal stage, as it were. To maintain preeminence, the vampire collective needs must reduce the level of life-anticipation in its human victim, so maintaining the cargo cult, as the means of their vampiric ascendancy, requires bankruptcy and ruin, rather than fiscal security, which is the issue that high-fliers have with capital.
The United States of America’s popular music star, Michael Jackson, ‘King of Pop’, debuted in 1964, age 6, as a member of the Gary, Indiana, family group, The Jackson Five, a successful act for Motown records, Detroit, Michigan, ‘breaking’ with ‘I Want You Back’ (1970). Achieving solo status with the album, Thriller (1982), most sold in history, with its industry-defining videos, featuring his unique dancing style, for ‘Thriller’, ‘Billie Jean’, and ‘Beat It’, Michael’s demise, age 50, is illustrative.
Jackson expired from cardiac arrest, on June 25th, 2009, largely attributed to a dose of propofol, administered by his physician, Conrad Murray, convicted of involuntary manslaughter in 2011, subsequent to Sony Music of Japan’s withdrawing from its contract to release Jackson’s records, including 21st century best-seller, Invincible (2001), after he called chairman, Tommy Mottola, ‘racist’, in New York city, on July 8th, 2002, at Al Sharpton’s National Action Network, Harlem.
Credited with 500 million records sold worldwide, Sony Corporation, formerly CBS, had contracted for the ‘licenses’ from Jackson’s earlier recordings to ‘revert’ to him, which meant he could negotiate further royalties. However, that was on condition he made Sony’s release quotas for future product, and he couldn’t. Putting the fulfillment of the clause so far into the future, he’d be ‘a tad older than God’,1 before he could become immortal, through advances in paid for medical science. Michael should have been living comfortably, through investments, and royalties for songs like, ‘Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough’ (1979), but the vampire wanted his extinction, as personality, sensibility, and pissiness, don’t sit well with those who believe in stopping when they’ve got enough:
‘Keep
on with the force, don't stop
Don't stop 'til you get enough.’2
Jackson was effectively murdered by Sony Corp., as he’d looked like living forever, so they’d have been obliged to pay him royalties, and they hadn’t wanted to. In 2024, half Michael’s back music catalogue was sold to Sony for $600 million; then the largest acquisition for a solo artist.
Stars, as personalities, are sensible, as they’re performers, which means they’re genuine business people. Their income derives from their product, whereas for ‘business and Christianity’, a euphemism for the activity of freemasonry, putative builders of social, as well as civil engineering structures, income comes from stopping independent-minded entrepreneurial endeavor. As that would make it more difficult for the slaver to put a collar about the neck of those it couldn’t dehumanize, into accepting mass consumption of the mass produced, as more than a vampire baiting the drunk.
The aim for the ‘star’ personality, with sensibility, and enough pissiness to persevere, is self-sufficiency through self-production, which Jackson, amongst many others, demonstrably achieved. Business, as definable, has as its object the denial of useful product, where utility is defined as optimal living, undercut by the purveyor’s desire to sell as much rubbish as expensively as feasible: charlatanry.
That Michael sold 500 million records is a sign of his validity, as much as value, while the aim of the charlatan is to do as well, with minimum effort expended, and poorness of product, packaged well enough, to seem salable. Acceptable to the freemasonry of ‘business and Christianity’, as the baited, drunk, represent no economic threat. With the manufactured pop personality, or group, for example, the vampires’ friend, minimalism’s the butthole drinking out of un-cocked wine. If women’s seed is to be understood as the bred and vin ordinaire on the altar of human sacrifice.
Though capitalism is depicted as antithetical to communism, adopted by Russia from the economic theories of German Karl Marx in Das Kapital (1867), before the end of World War I (1914-18), to end German Kaiser Wilhelm II’s slave ambitions in Europe, and following upon the October 1917 Revolution, led by Vladimir ‘Lenin’ Ilyich, against the autocracy of failed war leader, Tsar Nicholas II, the principle of sharing in common is the basis of the Christian church’s ‘Communion’ ritual, after the fashion of Jesus’ teaching, ‘And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”’ (Luke: 22. 19) Communism, ‘from each according to his abilities; to each according to his needs’, is similar to Communion, wherein what Jesus has is depicted as being shared in common, ‘And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank of it. And he said to them, “This is my blood ...”’ (Mk: 14. 23-24) The breaking of the bred, and the conflation of blood with wine, is what vampires do, which makes a nonsense of the belief that communism is evil, because it denies the spirit of the entrepreneur, as communism doesn’t make the equation that the ‘bread and the wine’ are the ‘body and the blood’, as meat and drink to share amongst themselves.
That communism is vampiristic might be true, but capitalism, itself bereft of genuine entrepreneurial spirit, can’t base its antipathy towards the Russian, French, Italian, or any other commune, on anything than the extent to which it seems lacking in vampire ritual, which is the actual foundation of its economic perspective, and its spiritual holes in the future holiness of those flocking to be admittedly Christian congregations, which are more closely resembled in Marx’s communism in that nowhere does he suggest that the proletariat eat themselves to be economical.
Employer’s demand that everything is done on trust, which is the equivalent of pushing a button, without understanding that it collapses the employee’s house, that is, it’s the essence of secret slavery to follow orders, while the armies of the world require slavish obedience to attain their ends in every instance. Despite paying lip-service to ‘transparency’, the problems of communism, with their totalitarian dictators, and those of capitalism, with its company bosses, are identical in that the lives and property of the workers are forever at risk.
Though communism still manages a now towards the ideology of the commonalty, ‘workers control[ing] the means of production’, sharing what they have produced together, capitalism is the freedom to slave, as opposed to freedom from slavery, which was the original basis for the creation of the Russian ‘soviet’ system of decentralized local governments. Where communism argued that the individual was needs must a member of the collective, capitalism’s argument is that the collective are sheep to be preyed upon by wolves, while the flocks of Christianity pray to God to be allowed to live, which is ‘the beast’ of Revelation.
While the people of Russia’s Soviet Union learned about the exigencies of manufacturing, and the necessity to produce foodstuffs and affordable housing, in the post-industrial age, capitalism was explaining that the individual had to work, in order to pay, which is what ‘superstar economists’, like Michael Jackson, learned, and were executed for, before they could escape from the system, in accordance with Jesus’ teaching, by showing others how.
Marx argued that capitalism would collapse, because of ‘inherent contradictions’. Certainly, emphasis on freedom to slave, replacing freedom from slavery, is a cause for concern about the future of the capitalist system, where stopping the ‘magical’ personality,3 sensible to their capacity to self-produce, in order to attain self-sufficiency and freedom, is basic to notions of brand loyalty; a bleak reference to the branding of slaves to ensure they won’t escape from their owner. Continuing to deny creative endeavor, on the basis of the shenanigans attendant upon individual success being made to seem a threat to the economic system, human extinction in slavery is New Capitalism.
