The Occult (Secret) Technology
of
Commercial
Imperialism
or Business Collectivism?
By Lloyd Miller, Research Director for A-albionic
Research
Perhaps the most persistent and perplexing stimulus to the curiosity of
American right-wingconspiracy researchers has been the seeming contradiction
of collectivist sympathies among bigbusiness and banking magnates who one
would expect to be individualists. On the left, thefascist,
corporate state predilections of big businessmen have been long known and
researched.The right, on the other hand, tends to deny the fascist
tendencies of big business and instead,stress the role of big business in
fostering communist/socialist societies such as Soviet Russia andRed China.
The left, of course, is as blind to the big business connection to
communism as it isalert to the big business connection to fascism.
The Project theory postulates that an objective point-of-view exists from
which the high echelonmanipulations of big money can be seen as a consistent
whole, ie. seen as an artificial technologyof commercial
organism building and natural social organism manipulation
that encompassesthe facts and observations of both left and right, but the
interpretations of neither. Perhaps, thekey to the puzzle consists in
ignoring the classical individual rights defense of business
andcommercial/capitalism, as invented and propagated by agents of the
British East India Companysuch as Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill, and,
instead, viewing business as the art ofconsciously building artificial
social organisms by harnessing individual self interest through theartifice
of money to the thereby emergent social organism or collective
designed ultimately toserve an elite.
Grasping this postulated technology outside the inner sanctum of the
conspiracy is at arudimentary level. The Occult Technology of Power,
reviewed elsewhere in this issue, wasperhaps the first attempt, albeit an
a-historical attempt, at adumbrating this technology. TheOccult Technology
of Power should be read as a primer.
Most important in researching the concept of artificial
organism creation, hereafter commercialimperialism, is the
study of the British East India Company, by far the most titanic single organ
ofcommercial imperialism ever launched by the City or any other
earthly imperialist entity.
Unfortunately, research on the British East India Company is no easy task.
Though a few booksexist on this topic, nearly all seem to recount the same
dry historical narrative, mostly the militarybattles and suppression of
various revolts. Somehow, the juicy details about the Company'sfounders, the
Board of Director's secret committees, major stockholders, Royal sponsors,
detailsof exploitive practices such as tax farming and narcotics
traffic, etc, seem to be purposely downplayed. Also down played is the
extraordinary public antipathy to the Company that ebbed andflowed in waves
over the extraordinary life of the Company. One suspects there is a
vast,forgotten trove of conspiracy literature, contemporary to
the Company that has been lost tohistory. Project readers are encouraged to
report whatever evidence they nay have of this
lostliterature.
However, even such pro-Establishment accounts as Brian Gardners' The East
India Companywho writes-off admitted popular opposition to ignorance and
envy, admits that there wassomething unfathomable and mysterious in a
private Company that once governed a majorfraction (1/5) of the
world's population! Perhaps his introduction which quotes several
otherauthors will give Project readers a taste of that mystery:
A government which through might of arms, was the most powerful in
Asia: a government, the revenue of hich was greater than that of Britain; a
government which ruled over more people than the present government of the
United States; a government owned by businessmen, the shares of which were
daily bought and sold- As Macaulay said,
'It is strange very strange.' The days of the East India
Company seem remote, prodigiously remote, and so they are in every way
except in the real passage of time. Even in my own lifetime there
were servants of the Company still alive. Although it receives
little attention now, this remarkable institution was a matter for
constant comment and controversy not so long ago. It is nearly seventy
years fifth of the world's population-
Dr, C. Northcote Parkinson made it seem straightforward enough, in his
admirable definition:
'How was the East India Company controlled? By the
Government. What was its object? To collect taxes. How was this
object attained? By means of a large standing army. What were its
employees? Soldiers, mostly, the rest,
