The billionaires have reached the high-tide mark in their power grab over the last few months. No one imagined they could get this far. It is a catastrophe like nothing in our experience. It goes far beyond the assault on society by the fascists of the 1930s. If anything, we are witnessing something closer to the fall of the Roman Empire in the 3rd century.
Although the situation is bleak, there is reason to believe that the globalist billionaires have overextended themselves, and that, if we are willing to take serious risks and think clearly for ourselves, and strategically, that there will be opportunities for a counterattack that could lead to their eventual defeat.
In this short book, How to take down the Billionaires I relate concisely in twelve chapters what needs to be done at this moment to turn this war around, and how it must be done to be successful. I set forth strategies for breaking out of the false discourse on politics, economics and society that moves back and forth between the fraudulent celebrities of the left and right, who are groomed by the rich and powerful, like a pointless ping pong game.
Those of us who dare to oppose corporate fascism are exposed to defeatist and sensationalist reporting in the tame and harmless alternative media. That alternative media reporting complains about the crimes of the billionaires and laments the increasing totalitarian governance found around the world. It has lots to say about opposition to the globalists. But if you read the material carefully, you will notice that most of it is narcissistic complaining, indulgent criticisms of the sad state of affairs that encourage defeatism. Nowhere in these pathetic reports is there a game plan for how citizens can organize themselves to fight these global criminal syndicates, at the local, national, regional and international levels. These articles do not tell you whom you can call in your neighborhood, in your city, if you want to join the struggle.
That is no accident. The vast majority of alternative and conspiracy journalism is not intended to help you fight the globalists, but rather to make you think that Donald Trump, Robert Malone, or Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will do that work for you.
Many of these false revolutionists advocate, hold up as a model, some sort of leaderless, decentralized, mass movement.
History shows, however, that amorphous leaderless movements that promote awareness, and the exchange of complaints, have never succeeded in effecting change. If journalism does not offer you a way to get involved in the fight, to organize in your neighborhood, it is useless and dishonest by nature.
We must be concrete about what needs to be done, and how it must be done.
Sunzi’s The Art of War offers an excellent introduction to the fundamentals of conflict and suggests how one can create a positive cycle for your side even in the midst of complete chaos, even when facing insurmountable odds.
Sunzi proposes that the key to success in any conflict is knowledge of oneself and knowledge of the opponent.
To know oneself, for us, is to possess an objective assessment of the strengths and the weaknesses of our anti-fascist movement, to maintain a long-term perspective on this struggle and not to allow hopes or fears to color our assessment of who we are, who we depend on, and what our true weaknesses are.
That means that we must objectively assess just how poorly organized we are, just how few of us are committed enough to take serious risks, and how we lack an overarching anti-fascist ideology that brings together diverse groups who are now hopelessly divided, intentionally, by ethnic and cultural boundaries. We must first see clearly our extreme dependence on social networks and on journalism that is underwritten, directly or indirectly, by multinational corporations. Whether it is our use of Google for searches, or Facebook and Twitter for communication, or Microsoft Word to compose texts, or Verizon to support our communications, at every single step of the way in our struggle, our efforts are monitored, undermined and diluted by our enemy.
They simply have bit off more than they can chew because they thought they could hypnotize the entire population of the world with their broadcasts and their articulate paid assets.
Equally important, it is critical that we grasp how their arrogance, their isolation from society as a whole, and their extremely small numbers means that they have tremendous liabilities if those who benefit from their largess and their patronage start to turn against them.
Narcissistic self-pity, delighting in dreams of the apocalypse, is precisely what the billionaires want us to engage in. But we are going to take this war to them.
