   Plutocracy's WW3 & how to survive the Neo-cons.   
   --------------------------------------------------------------   
   Plutocrats like me are secularists who correctly understand that the   
   world is a Darwinian jungle of inter and intra-species conflict, where   
   action is paramount. Only survivors get "selected" and may chit chat   
   about morality and ethics at leisure whilst licking their wounds as   
   victims or enjoying their spoils as victors.   
      
   Knowledge that the human system is Darwinian, in itself confers a   
   great initial advantage given that a majority will grasp at any   
   phantasm that denies that reality from simple animism to complex   
   theism. The human condition is one of mass ignorance, superstition,   
   envy, hatred and stupidity where daily warfare across the tribal,   
   ethnic, class and religious boundaries confirms the Darwinian paradigm   
   as indisputable fact.   
      
   A dilemma exists both for secularists and theists as to what course of   
   action best serves their short term and long term interests given that   
   technological progress undermines the status quo. Consummate   
   opportunists dupe others into acting in their interests by espousing   
   traditionalist values or alternative modernist ones. If one wants the   
   masses to die for a cause, particularly increasing one's own survival   
   prospects, then one must lead them, and appear to be one of them,   
   beating the patriotic drum. Here a double game is played where   
   secularists pretend to be theists and theists pretend to be   
   secularists, each hiding their real agenda from the other.   
      
   Being one of the crowd is Darwinian group instinct, exposing   
   traditionalist values confers automatic invisibility, but more   
   importantly it enables subversion and manipulation of traditional   
   protocols by fear mongering about the threat posed by weapons of mass   
   destruction. Theists, who kill each other daily, are horrified by the   
   prospect of payback.   
      
    In a condition of war, where all resources must be utilized to defeat   
   an enemy, the stronger side in weaponry and tactics, with a bit of   
   luck, would generally win. Ultimately advances in weapon technology   
   mean that any side may win via use of a super-weapon that would   
   decimate a population before effective retaliation were possible. It   
   is then no longer sufficient to be the strongest side, if militarism   
   is considered ones only option for survival of one's group, one would   
   tend to favour an international projection of power and effectively   
   become the only side by neo-imperial hegemony and conquest. The   
   Zionists recognized that they need US power to implement this   
   strategy, and the neo-cons became instrumental in subverting the   
   secular agenda of the USA to initiate it via the presidency of G W   
   Bush.   
      
   The goal for the neo-cons is then to project power around the globe,   
   so that super-weapons are never developed by any potential adversary   
   big or small. The problem with this strategy is that international   
   projections of power create a greater pool of enemies and insurgencies   
   which must also be contained. To offset the cost of world domination   
   resource rich regimes posing a threat to Israel are occupied first,   
   resources tapped via neo-imperial policies before moving on to the   
   next resource rich target that also threatens Israel. The current Iraq   
   war is an implementation of this strategy. Iran will be the next   
   target on their agenda.   
      
   As a secular modernist am I prepared to sacrifice $100-200 per week   
   out of my old age pension to participate in WW3 so 9 million Jews may   
   eternally bang their head on an ancient sacrificial temple wall and a   
   handful of plutocrats enjoy their blood profits from militarism and   
   hegemony over Islamic oil reserves.   
      
   No!   
      
   Clearly, secularist reform at all levels and disarmament is a   
   preferable option apparent everyone not brainwashed by the militarists   
   or the Zionist neo-cons.   
      
   All the plutocrats need as consummate opportunists cashing in on   
   militarism via corporate profits is to pretend that they are the   
   peacemakers upholding the timeless values of the people as revealed by   
   God and maintained by custodians their money elects - the politicians.   
      
   To survive WW3 and the neo-cons, you need to know is how they almost   
   got away with it and what to do about it.   
      
   The plutocrats are the mega-rich who act on their Darwinian view that   
   wealth brings power, and the exercise of power not only brings   
   increased survival prospects but an opportunity for more wealth.   
      
   Acting on this principle democracy is easily transformable into   
   plutocracy.   
      
   Firstly mega-rich capitalists gain control of virtually all of the   
   mass media, and promote the cultural ideologies favourable to   
   capitalism such as theism and begin shaping all the institutions of a   
   state in their interests, increasing their power to a tipping point   
   where changes become irreversible. When capitalism controls a duopoly   
   of loyal political parties, plutocracy eliminates any threat from   
   democracy.   
      
   Plutocrats are secular opportunists who fane traditional theist   
   values. Plutocrats cheat in self interest as their individualist   
   consciousness understands the reality of intra-group competition as   
   readily as inter-group competition. The hawks in political power will   
   champion the Iraq war but their sons and daughters in the ivy-league   
   set, never do so in combat, from the front line.   
      
   Plutocracy tends to take any opportunity to increases short term   
   profits by whatever means are available, forgetting about the long   
   term. Given this fact militarism becomes the dominant feature of a   
   plutocratic economy since militarism creates its own market economy   
   rather than relies on a traditional domestic one that would raise   
   taxes to provide the education and infrastructure for improving   
   non-military international competitiveness.   
      
   Plutocratic power is projected abroad beyond the traditional   
   marketplace to exploit colonial, sectarian and ethnic conflict with   
   armament sales in order that hegemony over asset rich nations will   
   provide a lower cost for oil, minerals and commodities. As peace is   
   the enemy of militarism, the plutocratic veto in the UN ensures no   
   united international opposition to plutocratic power.   
      
   Support for the Zionist 'Greater Israel' project is merely a   
   demonstration of the capacity of plutocratic power to expand an allied   
   theist state irrespective of the impact on the non-Jewish population   
   of the region, nor on other nations throughout the world.   
      
   Plutocratic neo-imperialism is best demonstrated by Iraq where the   
   goal is to create a political and military stalemate where permanent   
   US military bases are welcomed by the major factions as a safeguard   
   against full scale civil war. The plutocrats will decide among   
   themselves if the value of hegemony over the second largest oil   
   reserves in the world warrants the cost of maintaining an occupation   
   as resistance mounts.   
      
   Plutocracy depends upon compliance from its servants- the middle and
