Democracy, Reciprocity, and the Historic Roots of a Fascist Command System.

Dear Colleagues and Friends of
CEIMSA,
Barringon Moore, Jr’s comparative study of the social origins of dictatorship and democracy offers a penetrating lesson, beginning with the history of pre-modern Japan. The early industrialization of Japanese society was woven into feudal institutions at every level of society, and in the absence of a strong bourgeois revolution or a meaningful peasant revolution, the political power of the premodern overlord class evolved into a system of commercial agriculture where new fascist controls eventually modified traditional authoritarian relationships between the rising class of wealthy landowners and their tenant farmers.
“Three interrelated reasons may account for the absence of a peasant revolution during the transition from an agrarian to an industrial society in Japan,” writes Moore.
In the first place, the Tokugawa system of
taxation appears to have been such as to leave an increasing surplus among
those peasants who were energetic enough to add to their output. In this
fashion it helped to stimulate production, which began to rise in the later
Tokugawa era and continued to do so under the Meiji government. Secondly, in sharp
contrast with China, Japanese rural society was one with a close link between
successor and landlord. Simultaneously, and again in contrast with Japanese peasant
community provided a strong system of social control that incorporated those
with actual and potential grievances into the status quo. This was
the case because of a specific tenure, and inheritance that prevailed in late
Tokugawa times. In the third place, this set of institutions proved adaptable
to commercial agriculture with the help of repressive mechanisms taken over
from the old order together with new ones appropriate to a modern society. The
key element in the transition was the rise of a new landlord class, recruited
in substantial measure from the peasants, which used the state and traditional mechanisms
of the rural community to squeeze rice out of the peasants and sell it in the
market. The shift from older feudal arrangements to tenancy furthermore had
some advantages for the peasants at the bottom of the social ladder. All in
all, it proved possible to take over the old order from the past and
incorporate a peasant economy into an industrial society – at the price of
fascism.
The
transition was not easy. At times it was touch and go whether the dominant
classes would be able to carry it off. Violent opposition from the peasants
there was in good measure. For a variety of reasons, the present generation of
Western historians tends to minimize the importance of peasant discontent.
Therefore it will be wise to review the evidence before examining social trends
and relationships in the countryside in any detail. Doing so right away may
help to prevent illusions of inevitability. A bourgeois revolution does seem to
me to have been out of the question. There is much less reason to believe that
a peasant one was impossible.
The
later years of the Tokugawa period were, as we saw, characterized by numerous
outbreaks of peasant violence. Though it is naturally impossible to determine
the objective circumstances that produced many of the uprisings, far less the
motives of the participants, there is considerable evidence to show that the
inroads of commercial influences played an important part. Merchants were a
significant target in many instances. For example, in 1783-1787, after a series
of crop failures, the peasants in the western provinces rose against the
merchants, who had become landowners by appropriating land in exchange for
money and goods borrowed by the peasants. In part also, the peasants rose
against village officials who, as representatives of the ruling class,
collected taxes, spied on the farmers, and added taxes for their own profit.
Again, in 1823, in one of the Tokugawa domains 100,000 farmers revolted because
of the corruption of the local administrative officer who as allied with the
rice merchants. In a similar large upheaval, the immediate cause of the outbreak
appears to have been that local officials had prayed for a bad harvest and
tried to enrage the dragon god, all in order to raise prices. Already by the
middle of the Tokugawa period or mideighteenth
century, we begin to hear about tenancy disputes, a form of conflict that was
to become much more important after the Restoration.
Outright violence was not the only weapon to which the peasants resorted.
Some, like their Russian counterparts, ‘voted with their feet’ before they ever
heard of the ballot, though the opportunities to move away were very limited in
Japan as compared with Russia. In some areas the practice developed of one or
more villages’ leaving their habitations en masse – a significant
indication of the solidarity of the Japanese village. They crossed into the neighboring
fief or province and petitioned the lord that they might be allowed to remain
in his domain. According to Borton, there were
records of 106 such desertions, the majority of them in Shikoku.
Borton’s evidence shows quite clearly that the intrusion of
commercial relationships into the feudal organization of the countryside was
creating increasingly severe problems for the ruling group. There were three
main strands to the peasant violence: opposition to the feudal overlord, to the
merchant, and to emerging landlordism. To the extent that these institutions
were becoming interlocked, the peasant movement was definitely dangerous. One reason
that the Meiji government was able to weather the storm may have been that this
interlocking was relatively quite weak in the main territorial base of the
Imperials movement, the great fief of Chōshū.
For a
time, immediately after the Restoration, the danger continued to mount. The
peasants had been promised that all state land (except that of the temples)
would be divided up for their benefit. But they soon discovered that the
promise was an empty one and that their tax burden to boot would not be lessened.
It seemed obvious that they had nothing to gain from the new regime. Agrarian
revolts reached a crescendo of violence in 1873, the year of the new land tax,
to be discussed further in the context of the landlords’ problems. In the first
decade of the Meiji government there were over 200 peasant r uprisings, more by
far than in any decade under the Tokugawa. ‘Never in modern times, ‘ says T.C. Smith, not one to exaggerate peasant violence,
‘has Japan been so close to social revolution.’
The
dominant theme in the peasant movement of these ten years was ‘stubborn
antagonism to rent, usury, and exorbitant taxation,’ the usual reaction of the
peasant to the intrusion of capitalist relationships in the countryside. The
reactionary response was very prominent in Japan. Many samurai were
quick to exploit their knowledge of peasant psychology and even to set themselves
at the head of peasant risings against the government. This was possible because,
as we shall see, the samurai were the main victims of the Restoration.
Where samurai leadership occurred, it helped to prevent the peasant
movement from becoming an effective revolutionary force. (pp.154-156)
. . .
Shortly afterward, in 1889, the government proclaimed the new
constitution, which kept the right to vote securely in the hands of men of
substance. Out of a population of about 50 million, only some 460,000 obtained
electoral rights. Rural radicalism was not to be a serious problem again until
the tenancy disputes following the First World War.
The
peasant revolts described above document the existence of more than scattered
resistance to the transition from the premodern
agrarian system to a new one. They reflect many of the usual difficulties of
the changeover to capitalism and commercial farming in the countryside. Why
were they not more serious? For an answer to that question it is necessary to examine
rural society more closely and the changes it underwent.
As in
any agrarian society, the Japanese peasants generated most of the economic
surplus that supported the upper classes, while the methods of extracting this
surplus formed the core of nearly all political and social problems. Professor Asakawa, a distinguished historian of the older generation,
has observed that the first problem of village administration under the
Tokugawa was the collection of taxes. ‘Few provisions of the laws of the village
had no bearing, direct or indirect, upon the subject of taxation; few phases of
the entire structure of the feudal rule and of national welfare were not deeply
influenced by the solution of this fundamental problem.’ The feudal system of
taxation accounts very largely for the tightly knit character of the Japanese village
that had impressed a wide variety of historians and modern observers. Simultaneously,
Japanese feudal structure tied the peasants closely to their rulers.
The
main tax was the land tax, levied not upon the peasant as an individual person,
but on the officially determined productive capacity of each holding. From the
official standpoint the peasant was an instrument to make the holding yield
what it should. Until quite recent, authorities on Japan believed that by and
large the feudal lord of Tokugawa times, pressed for greater expense’s in the Shōgun’s capital and elsewhere, used the
machinery of village administration to extract a larger and larger surplus out
of the peasantry. Detailed investigation of the incidence of taxation
in several widely scattered villages have made this conclusion a most
unlikely one. What appears to have happened is that the amount taken by the
taxation remained static or nearly so, while the productivity of peasant
agriculture markedly increased. The consequence was to leave a larger amount in
the hands of the peasant.
The taxation
system penalized farmers who failed to improve the output of their lands and
benefited those who increased their productivity. Though the details of its
operation are obscure, it is easy to see that a taxation system that took a fixed
amount of produce from each farm year after year would have this effect. We do
not know exactly how the Japanese villagers allocated the tax, levied on the
village as a whole in proportion to the lord’s assessment of the lord’s
assessment of the yield on individual fields. But there is rather strong
evidence that the tax system encountered improved output. There is, moreover,
no indication of periodic redistribution of property and its burdens, such as
we find in the Russian village. Without any deliberate intent then, it seems
that Tokugawa taxation and agrarian policy, as worked out both by the ruling
class and the peasants themselves, as a ‘wager on the stronger.’
Furthermore, the structure of Japanese society was such as to impose
certain barriers to the growth of a revolutionary potential among the peasants.
Some of these, too, may be found in the operation of the Tokugawa system of tax
collection. The separation of the warrior from the land by the early Tokugawa
rulers meant that the peasant’s financial obligations to the government took on
the appearance of public taxes to the government rather than personal dues to
the lord. There were no banalities, and the early personal corvée was gradually being incorporated into the corvée for the public. Very likely this
appearance of public obligations helped to ease the peasant’s transfer of
loyalty from the feudal overlord to the modern state, when the time came to do
so in the Meiji Reform.
Alongside these bureaucratic traits that set it off as an impersonal
‘government’ over and above the peasants, the Tokugawa government retained even
more important feudal and paternalistic features that enabled the ruling
warriors to send down their tentacles into peasant society.
To put
teeth into their system of tax collection and paternalistic supervision of
village life, the Tokugawa rulers revived the ancient Chinese system of village
administration known as the pao. In China this
device of dividing up village households into small groups who assumed responsibility
for the conduct of their members seems never to have been, very successful. In
Japan it had been known ever since the great seventh-century borrowing from
China but was no more than a lingering survival when the early Tokugawa seized
it and forced it on the entire rural and urban population of their realm. Aksakawa asserts that every inhabitant of the village, no
matter what his tenure or status, was ordered to belong to one of these five-man
groups and that this order was well carried out. Ordinarily the five-man group
consisted of five landholding members, dependents, and tenants. From about the
middle of the seventeenth century, the custom spread to having the five-man
group pledge under oath to fulfill the orders of the lord, repeating the orders
as nearly as was practicable in the form they were given.
The five-man
group was supplemented by the device of public proclamations or the posting of
notice boards in the villages exhorting the peasants to good behavior.
Occasionally in modern writings one comes across statements to the effect that
the Japanese peasant was so submissive to authority that these public notices were
almost sufficient by themselves to keep peace and order. As I am trying to
demonstrate, there were other and stronger reasons for this orderliness, an orderliness
that in any case knew periods of serious turbulence. Nevertheless it is
worthwhile to glance at the texts of one of these messages, as it may modify
the impression of ‘natural’ orderliness. Though there is a reference to Buddha
in this one from the middle of the seventeenth century, the tone is quite
Confucian:
‘Be
filial to thy parents. The first principle of filial piety is to keep thyself healthy. It is especially pleasing to parents if
thou refrain from drinking and quarreling, and love thy younger brother and
obey thy elder brother. If thou hold to the above principle, blessings of goods
and Buddha will be upon thee, and thou mayst walk in
the right path and thy land shall being forth good harvests. On the other hand,
if though become indulgent and lazy ,thou wilt become
poor and broken, and finally resort to stealing. Then the law shall overtake
thee and bind thee with rope and put thee in a cage, and perhaps hang thee. If
such a thing happens, how heartbroken they parents must be! Moreover, thy wife
and children and brothers must all suffer punishment because of thy crime.’
The advice continues with some remarks on the material
rewards for good behavior and draws to a close with this revealing admonition:
‘ Indeed, the farmer has the securest kink of life if only
he pays his tax regularly. Keep, therefore, the above precept always in thy
mind . . . .’
Through the five-man group and other devices, the entire village was
made to take an active interest in the behavior of every household. Marriage, adoption,
succession, and inheritance were subject to effective control. Peasants were
expected to watch over and correct one another’s conduct, settling disputes as
far as possible by mutual conciliation. The peasants were strictly forbidden to
own firearms, carry swords, study the Confucian classics, or take up novel
religious practices.
Another channel of official control was through the village headman. In
most villages the office of headman descended from father to son along with the
family headship or rotated along the leading families. The appointment of the
headman by the lord or his officer was also widespread. Only in villages
affected by commercial influences, where the traditional structure had begun to
disintegrate, does it appear that the headman was elected.
The
lord did all in his power to exalt and support the dignity and power of he headman, the chief of the little oligarchy that was the
Japanese village in Tokugawa times. Essentially the headman’s power rested on a
careful manipulation of leading opinion in the village. Rather than isolate himself
from this opinion, in a crisis the headman sided with the village against the
lord even though the consequence was almost certain death. But such
circumstances were exceptional. Generally the headman was the individual who
reconciled the lord’s interests with those of the leading villagers into some
consensus of notion of the common welfare.
The
Japanese village displayed a fierce demand for unanimity that recalls the
Russian sbornost’. Personal affairs
were given a public character lest hey lead to deviant opinion or behavior.
Since anything secret was automatically suspicious, a man with private business
to conduct with someone in another village might be obliged to conduct it
through his headman. Gossip, ostracism, and more
serious sanctions, such as assembling at a man’s gate and beating pots and pans
in unison, or even banishment (which meant cutting a peasant off from human society
so that he must soon starve or run afoul of the law), all helped to create a
conformity that was probably far more severe than any lamented by modern Western
intellectuals. Only after he had learned the sense of the community by careful
consultation with other leading figures, did the headman express his own
opinion on any important issue. Villagers would go to great lengths to avoid
any open conflict of opinion.
. . .
The
system of taxation, along with the political and social controls that supported
it, was the main external cause of solidarity in the Japanese village. There
were equally important internal sources: primarily the system of economic cooperation
and, closely intertwined with this, the structure of kinship obligations and
inheritance rules.(pp.258-263)
. . .
Thus
the Japanese village of premodern times was not a cluster
of autonomous farming units. Instead, it was a cluster of mutually dependent
ones, some large, some small. The larger holding provided a pool of capital in
the form of tools, animals, seed, fodder, and fertilizer, etc., on which the
smaller ones could draw from time to time. In return the
small ones provided labor. The separation of capital from labor as far
as ownership was concerned, and their recombination in the production process,
show some similarities to the world of capitalist industry. A study of about
one hundred seventeenth-century village registers from all parts of Japan
reveals that in most villages from forty to eighty percent of the holders of
arable land were without homesteads. On the other hand, the paternalistic and quasi-kinship
relationships between the possessors of large holdings and the supplies of
labor helped to prevent the emergence of class conflict in the village. It
would be difficult to claim that the possessors of large holdings held anything
like a monopoly of power, though the system doubtless had its exploitative
aspects –significantly the small holders usually could not grow rice on the poor
soil allotted to them. In hared times the large
owners had to help their less fortunate dependents. Furthermore, the power to
refuse help at the crisis of rice harvesting must have been an important
sanction in the hands of those who provided the labor, even though such a refusal
would have required the strongest justifications to be acceptable to village
opinion.
. . .
The
political implications of late Tokugawa peasant society seem fairly obvious.
Clearly one cannot explain the absence of full-scale peasant revolution in the
fairly turbulent times as a consequence of rough equality in holdings. Rather,
it was the series of bonds that connected those without property to those who
possessed it that helped to maintain stability. The premodern
Japanese village community gives every sign to having been a very powerful mechanism
for incorporating and controlling individual with real and potential grievances.
Furthermore, the formal and informal channels of control between the overlord and
the peasantry seem to have been quite effective. The lord could make his will
known and the peasants indicate just how far they were willing to obey through
clearly recognized procedures. One gets the strong impression that Tokugawa
society, when it was working well, consisted of a series of descending and spreading
chains of influential leaders and their coteries of close followers, linked all
the way from the top to the bottom by patriarchal and personal ties, enabling
those in superior positions to know just how far they could push those beneath
them. Perhaps there was something specifically feudal in this arrangement,
though it is also characteristic of any stable hierarchy.
The
key to the social structure of the premodern Japanese
village was the exchange of labor for capital and vice versa, without the
impersonal mechanism of the market, and through the more personal one of kinship.
The coming of the market changed these arrangements, though they have left their
imprint on later Japanese peasant society down to the present day. Our next
task therefore is to trace the effects of the market or, more generally, the
rise of commercial agriculture and especially the political consequences of
this transformation, which began to be felt even in Tokugawa times.
The
latter half of the Tokugawa period was one of very substantial improvements in agricultural
techniques. After 1700 genuinely scientific treatises on agriculture began to
appear, a curious parallel to simultaneous developments in England. After a few
ritual bows to the Confucian doctrine of harmony with nature, these treatises
at once settled down to the eminently practical business of improving on the ways
of nature. There is clear evidence that the knowledge set forth in these
treaties filtered down to the peasants. The main motives to which they appealed
were self-interest, but of the family, not the individual. Nor was there any
appeal to notions of the welfare of society or the state. (pp.265-267)
. . .
The policy of the Meiji government was
conservative in the sense that it had no thought of abdicating power to any
other class. At the same time, modern authorities often observe, it was revolutionary
in the sense that it broke down feudal distinctions and sought to incorporate
the peasants into a conservative body politic. One very important step in this
direction was the adoption of military conscription (1871-1873). Another was
the establishment of a system of universal and compulsory education, announced
in the Imperial Rescript of 1890.
. . .
In
sum then, Meiji policy amounted to using the peasant as a source of capitalist
accumulation. In turn this required opening the peasant economy even wider to commercial
influences and offsetting some of the strains incurred thereby through efforts
to incorporate the peasants into a cohesive body politic. Dismounting feudalism
from above was not so much an aim or a policy in its own right as a means to
other ends.
Reviewing the process as a whole, we may discern more clearly and
concretely some of the reasons why it took place without a revolutionary
upheaval. The continuing rise in agricultural productivity was vital in making
the whole transition bearable. In itself, of course, the rise requires an
effort at explanation, best deferred to the next section. One consequence,
however, was that there was no great hunger in the towns to produce plebeian
allies for peasant radicalism – as there was at the height of the French Revolution.
Nor was there in the town any substantial bourgeois antifeudal
impulse with which more moderate peasant demands could join in overthrowing the
old order. The advent of the market actually gave landed property to the poor
ranks of peasants, if usually only as tenants. Still, physical possession of a
larger plot of land than before may have acted as a stabilizing factor.
The
stake of the new landlords in emerging capitalism, to be discussed shortly, is
fairly obvious. In large measure this group grew out of the class of wealthy peasants
that had become increasingly prominent toward the close to the Tokugawa and, in
the view of some historians, made an important contribution to the Restoration
movement. By becoming landlords, a section of the peasant élite may have been
drawn off and rendered politically safe. In addition, a substantial number of them acquired
commercial interests and therefore were not averse to important changes in the
old order. But in general the wealthy peasant proprietors had no desire to
upset the oligarchical system of the Japanese village
whose chief beneficiaries they were. As soon as the poorer peasant and tenants began
to put forth radical demands under the Meiji, the wealthy peasant turned
against them. Thus Japanese rural society at this historical juncture contained
important safeguards against any sever outbreak of anticapitalism
and opposition to new social trends.
If
there were checks against anticapitalist ‘excesses’
at this stage, there also remained certain important safeguards against antifeudal ones. The penetration of the Japanese
village by feudal influences through the five-man system of mutual surveillance
and through the village headman were very significant here. These brakes
on antifeudal influences could have led to a
dangerous accumulation of resentment, and evidently did in some areas where feudal
influences combined with incipient commercial ones to give the peasants the worst
of both worlds, a repressive combination lacking in the main base of the
Imperial movement (Chōshū).
The
conflict between a feudal system that still had considerable vitality and the
commercial influences steadily undermining it gave the Meiji government room to
maneuver. When samurai on occasion put themselves at the head of a peasant
insurrection, they were of course at danger. But on balance, the Meiji, by
using (their peasant conscript army, were able to direct antifeudal
sentiments to their own advantage, as shown by the suppression of the Satsuma Rebellion,
the greatest threat to the new government. Though at times the situation was
precarious, the government, by treading its way through divisions among both its
enemies and its allies, managed to survive and establish itself.
While
it is doubtful that the foreign threat entered seriously into the consciousness
of many peasants, it did play a significant part in the course of events and
contributed to the conservative outcome. The revolutionary forces in Japanese
society were not nearly strong enough to sweep away the obstacles to modernization
by themselves. But they could and did provide a limited basis of support for
such measures when the leaders sought them in order to preserve their own power
through the creation of a strong state. (pp.272-275)
The Meiji Settlement: The New Landlords and Capitalism.
Among
the ruling classes, too, the Meiji era (1868-1912) was one where feudal and capitalist
features were put to work alongside one another in the effort to create a
powerful modern state. We shall concentrate on the political meaning of the
fact that the commercial landlord replaced the feudal overlord, a process that
had already begun under the Tokugawa . It is necessary
to perceive the change against a more general background of the rulers’
adaptation to the modern world and the extent to which new and different social
formations replaced the older dominant groups. On this score it is necessary to
distinguish sharply between the nature of the higher aristocracy or daimyō and the ordinary samurai.
All authorities
agree that the Meiji government’s ‘settlement of accounts’ with the daimyō in 1876 was generous to a fault. The measure,
as we have seen, both assured the new government the allegiance of the daimyō and deprived the latter of their
original economic base. At the same time, it enabled some of the greatest lords
to become members of the dominant financial oligarchy. Funds obtained in this
way played an important part in promoting capitalist industry. By 1880 slightly
more than 44 percent of the stock in the national banks belonged to the new
peers, mostly former daimyō and members
of the Imperial court (kuge). Those who made
the transition to commerce, industry, and banking were few in number but very
important. Now they were able to push the former merchant class aside, whereas
in Tokugawa times they had been forced to work with and through them.
. . .
Of
the old upper classes the daimyo by 1872 were only a very small group, 268 all
told. The number of samurai, however, was quite large, somewhat short of
two million persons, or between five and six percent of the population in
1870.Their fate was less fortunate, and, for a substantial portion, no doubt
disastrous. The Meiji regime swept away samurai social, economic, and
political privileges.
. . .
Though the evidence is not as firm as one could wish, it appears that
the mass of the samurai did not find a satisfactory haven in the business
world. To be sure, a small number became wealthy and powerful in business and
politics. Many made their way as best they could into almost any crevice they
could find in the social structure, becoming, among other things, police constables,
army officers, teachers, lawyers, publicists, even jinricksha
pullers and common thieves. One clue to their fate comes from the writings of a
contemporary political theorist (Ueki Emori): he
opposed property qualifications for voting and eligibility to office because
such requirements would disqualify most of the samurai, in his opinion the
class best suited for political life.(pp.275-278)
. . .
Now
apolitical obedience to orders, regardless of what the orders are, is not
simply a matter of psychology. The mentality that behaves in this way is the
product of concrete historical circumstances, just as much as the self-reliant
mentality still admired in the West. Furthermore, as the Japanese case demonstrates
beyond any doubt, this passive attitude is not necessarily a product of advanced
industrialism. Under specific circumstances it can occur in peasant societies
as well.
In Japan
these circumstances were embodied in the structure of the Japanese village, as
inherited from late Tokugawa and early Meiji times and reinforced by more
modern economic trends. The landlord remained the unchallenged leader of the peasant
community. Through the structure of the village he was able to have his way locally.
Likewise, the village gave him a political base from which to transmit his aims
upward to the national scene, where they met the challenge and formed part of
the overall compromise we have already discussed. Let us therefore look more closely
at the reasons why the peasants remained so much under his influence.
The
most prominent features of the Japanese village down to the time of the American
land reform were its domination by the wealthy and the discouragement of open
conflict. The main basis of authority in the village was the ownership of
landed property. The resulting relationships were supported by the state, on occasion
with brute force. To some extent they were also softened and made more palatable
by the patina of age, tradition, and custom. Resident landlords frequently
managed village affairs, though larger ones might leave this chore to others,
exercising their authority from behind the scenes. Tenants might on occasion
have some minor share in village offices. In a good many villages or larger areas
there was a small circle of intermarrying landlord families known vividly as
the ‘kissing ring,’ that dominated local affairs. Generally the smaller
landlords supplied recruits for paid offices in the mura, as they could thus supplement the meager
salary from their rents.
Perhaps only in extreme cases could the landlord withdraw the tenant’s
sole source of livelihood at will or be likely to undertake so drastic an
action. But the landlord’s power over the tenant’s means of existence was
constantly visible to the latter and to outers in a hundred subtle says. It was
the ultimate sanction behind the elaborate code of deference that governed the
peasant’s relation to his superiors. The tenant carefully observed ‘the color of
his landlord’s face. R.P. Dore, the source of this observation, is one to
minimize rather than to exaggerate the darker side of the landlord’s authority.
Yet even he concludes that the tenant’s deference was due to the conscious
calculation of advantage and of outright fear based on the brute fact of
economic dependence.. Fear and dependence were thus
the ultimate sources, at least in the countryside of the elaborate Japanese
code of deference that charms many American visitors by its novelty and
contrast with their own experience. One may guess that such visitor’s are aware
of the hostility behind much friendly breeziness in the United States but miss
both the historical origins and present meaning of Japanese politeness. Where
the relations of economic dependence have disappeared, as a consequence of the
American land reform or for other reasons, the traditional structure of status
and dereference has crumbled away. If anyone were inclined to doubt the
economic basis of oligarchy in the village and of the Japanese code of
politeness, the circumstances of their partial disappearance would seem to
demonstrate the relationship conclusively.
. . .
During the totalitarian phase of Japan’s recent history, the village was
integrated into the national structure in a way that vividly recalls Tokugawa
techniques for penetrating and controlling peasant society. Whether there was
direct historical continuity is not clear from the sources. Even if there was
not, these arrangements show the way in which important aspects of Japanese
feudalism were easily compatible with twentieth-century totalitarian
institutions.
. . .
As
one looks back over the history of the Japanese village since the seventeenth
century, the feature most likely to strike the historian is its continuity. The
oligarchical structure, internal solidarity, and
effective vertical ties with higher authority all survived with very little
change the transition to modern production for the market. At the same time,
historical continuity itself provides no explanation; it is something that
requires explanation, especially when so much else has changed. The essence of the
explanation, I would urge, lies in the fact that landlords maintained most of the
old village structure because through it they could extract and sell enough of
the surplus to stay on top of the heap. Those who did not make the grade
provided recruits for agrarian pseudoradicalism. The
substitution of tenancy relations for pseudokinship
was the only institutional change needed. All this was possible only in a rice
culture, where, as events were to show, traditional methods could greatly raise
productivity. Unlike the English landlord of the eighteenth century, the
Prussian Junker in the sixteenth, or Russian Communists in the twentieth, the
Japanese ruling class found that they could get their way without destroying
the prevailing peasant society. If working through the traditional social
structure had not brought results, I doubt that the Japanese landlord would have
spared the village any more than did landlords elsewhere.
The adaptability
of Japanese political and social institutions to capitalist principles enabled
Japan to avoid the costs of a revolutionary entrance onto the stage of modern
history. Partly because she escaped these early horrors, Japan succumbed in
time to fascism and defeat. So did Germany for very broadly the same reason.
The price for avoiding a revolutionary entrance has been a very high one. It
has been high in India as well. There the play has not yet reached the
culminating act; the plot and the characters are different. Still, lessons learned
from all the cases studied so far may prove helpful in undertaking what the
play means. (pp.308-313)
Meanwhile censorship continues to contribute to the contrived environment of fear and confusion, with opportunists parroting mindlessly their masters endless calls for “solidarity,” by which they can only mean political “collaboration” with the corporate agenda, implimenting population control and building the artificial infrastructure of a command economy.
We’ve been there before; done that, and seen how it works. Only the very foolish would wish to experience
the rerun of such an ugly catastrophe.

On
January 23 I reviewed on this website Kees Van Der Pijl’s new book, States
of Emergency https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2022/01/23/the-covid-deception-is-a-power-grab/
. Van Der Pijl answers the
question so many people have of why and how a fake “deadly pandemic” was
orchestrated with worldwide participation in the fraud. He shows that the event
was long in the making by a global elite consisting of philanthropists such as
Bill Gates, the Rockefeller Foundation and the Wellcome
Trust, elite organizations such as the World Economic Forum, tech companies and
multi-billionaire owners, Fauci at NIH, CDC, FDA,
WHO, pharmaceutical companies and lobbyists, and elite organizations and groups
created for the purpose of concentrating power and advancing and protecting the
global elites’ rule by using fear to condition the masses to being controlled
and deprived of a voice and alternative explanations. I had been thinking along
these lines, but lacked Van Der Pijl’s
detailed knowledge of the personalities, organizations and groups and the
interactions and cooperation between them. He gives us the story. It was an
elaborate exercise in massive deception and censorship that was able to
discredit the world’s most renowned medical scientists and to elevate pure
fiction to fact and public policy.
We
owe it to ourselves to read States of
Emergency in order to come to terms with the fact that we are ruled by
people devoid of integrity to whom truth is an inconvenience and who are
concerned solely with their control and power.
We
need to read the book also to understand how things really work, how decisions
are really made, how careers are made and ended by whether or not you serve the
narrative and how well, how regulatory agencies such as FDA, NIH, CDC, WHO are
in fact marketing departments for Big Pharma, how
politicians’ positions are dictated by the sources of their campaign funds, why
universities and the media must function as Ministries of Propaganda for the
ruling elites and their narratives, how Fauci and Big
Pharma control content in medical journals via grants
to medical researchers. Van Der Pijl
writes that pharmaceutical industry research grants make the industry the
co-author of many articles and that more than half of all The Lancet‘s revenues come from
pharmaceutical companies orders of reprints of articles supportive of their
products. Van Der Pijl
writes “According to the former editor of The New England Journal of Medicine, who had 20 years of
experience, it is simply no longer possible to believe much of the published
clinical research.”
The
gullible, patriotic American who reads this book will have his eyes opened and
become a new person. Van Der Pijl
has written the book that can save Americans from their insouciance.
In
October 2019 just prior to unleashing the “pandemic” on the world, what was
about to happen was first tested in a simulation. The participants were: the
Bloomberg-financed Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, the Gates
Foundation, the World Economic Forum, the CDC, the (American trained) head of
the Chinese health authority, a former deputy director of the CIA, Johnson
& Johnson, Pfizer, and so on.
The
participants were primarily concerned with protecting the planned deception
from being exposed. They relied on social media and the presstitutes
to control the narrative and censor the truth. They considered whether to close
the Internet altogether, but were assured that Twitter, Facebook,
YouTube, and Google would only allow news in keeping with the narrative and
flood the Internet with information that confirms the narrative while
discrediting and blocking the truth. Admiral Stephen Redd
of the US Public Health Service thought that people on social media with
“negative beliefs,” that is, those who took issue with the narrative, should be
tracked down by intelligence services. Singapore’s finance minister said
dissidents should be arrested and brought to justice. The head of the Chinese
health authority worried that suspicion might arise that the virus originated
in a laboratory. Johnson & Johnson wondered if the deaths and injuries in
the vaccine trials should be suppressed in order to prevent public suspicion of
the poorly tested vaccine.
The
participants claim they were just playing a germ game, but the simulation
ensured that all was in place to control the explanation prior to the release
of the “pandemic.”
The
research basis of Van Der Pijl’s
book is massive and the information earth-shattering. I intend to return to
this book in future articles. But don’t wait on me. Buy the book and read it
once, twice, three times. Civil liberty in the US cannot survive if people are
too lazy to inform themselves.

From Dylan Harnett:
By coincidence, I just found this information on Blackstone
the other day.
New York Times global economics correspondent Peter Goodman
was on The Hill's Rising to talk about the pandemic and promote his new
book, Davos Man: How the Billionaires Devoured
the World.
1:05, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5brrojwyWM:
Peter Goodman: We've got a global economy that's been engineered
to send more wealth to a handful of people who have the power.
... Just take Steve Schwarzman,
who is the CEO of Blackstone, the world's largest private equity company, who
in the run-up to the pandemic was sinking billions of dollars into the American
health-care system as part of a wave of the investor class, turning healthcare
into a part of our life that is functioning like most other businesses.
Y'know, they
reduce capacity in order to jack up the prices; The
same way your airline wants all the seats to be full, hospital rooms are
supposed to be full.
That's how we went into a pandemic, the worst pandemic in a
hundred years, having lost roughly a third of all the hospital rooms in the
United States over the last two decades.
(Peter Goodman also spoke to Amy Goodman on Democracy
Now.)
There are a couple articles about Blackstone and covid-corruption. TeamHealth
is owned by Blackstone.
... In 2017, TeamHealth, the
nation’s largest staffing firm for ER doctors, sued a small insurance company
in Texas over a few million dollars of disputed bills.
Over 2 1/2
years of litigation, the case has provided a rare look inside TeamHealth’s own operations at a time when the company,
owned by private-equity giant Blackstone, is under scrutiny for soaking patients with surprise medical bills
and cutting doctors’ pay amid the coronavirus
pandemic.
Hundreds of pages of tax returns, depositions and other
filings in state court in Houston show how TeamHealth
marks up medical bills in order to boost profits for investors.
[...] In a statement for this story, the company
says it’s fighting for doctors against insurance companies that are trying to
underpay [...]
But the Texas court records contradict TeamHealth’s
claims that the point of its aggressive pricing is to protect doctors’ pay. In
fact, none of the additional money that TeamHealth
wrings out of a bill goes back to the doctor who treated the
patient. Instead, the court records show, all the profit goes to TeamHealth.
https://www.propublica.org/article/how-rich-investors-not-doctors-profit-from-marking-up-er-bills
"The pandemic put life sciences in the headlines, but
Blackstone Group had been quietly building a multibillion-dollar stake in the
business for the better part of a decade."
You might have already seen this:
According to one of Thomas Renz's
whistle-blowers, hospitals make an estimated $100,000 extra at minimum per
"Covid" patient. See 12:50 mark at this
video: https://www.brighteon.com/3f64ee04-b547-4ecc-89e2-bfd91881cc9c. I got the
video from the article "Hospital Death Camps Exposed" by
Justus R. Hope MD (a pseudonym, I think) for the Desert Review.

don’t like censorship. It goes against everything they stand for. Does no one
think a musician calling for cancel culture is beyond strange? It seems most
would rather bicker back and forth about Neil Young vs
Joe Rogan than stand back than see the bigger picture that’s staring us right
in the face.
Fun fact:
Blackstone owns a large percentage of recording artists’ music, including Neil
Young’s.
Also: In
2012, Blackstone entered into a partnership with Pfizer and SFJ

Know the
name Blackstone? You should. In addition to what I just mentioned, they’ve been
buying a whole lot of real estate, which has been driving up housing &
rental costs. They’re also responsible for much deforestation of the Amazon.
And, they’re in bed with our governments.
Do you know

fundraisers for Nancy Pelosi and is a tight ally.
Remember
those missing Clinton emails? They were to the new head of Blackstone. A few
were retrieved. https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/3313
The #Spotify music pull is a ploy to silence...once again.
Do you know
why cigarettes couldn't be pulled from grocery stores? Because Phillip Morris
owns Kraft and that would have pulled all the Kraft foods, too.
Phillip
Morris/Altria Group Incorporated (MO) also owns marijuana, e-cigarettes,
cigars/pipes, and tobacco pouches.
I ask you this: Why are those speaking out such a threat
that they need to be ridiculed, bullied, silenced, and de-platformed
by huge corporations? If everything is on the up-and-up, then why such an
effort to destroy voices that question what's going on? Why are
we not allowed to have conversations?
Is Joe Rogan always correct? No, his is not. But he clearly
hits the mark more often than not if the effort to silence him (and hide it) is
happening.
Rogan is having the conversations. He's getting higher
ratings than CNN, so people must want to hear these talks.
Has anyone
on a meaningful national platform been more tragically wrong than mainstream
media or the CDC? I don’t believe so. A lot of people have died due to their
mistakes. Ventilating incorrectly. Denying
other medical options to save lives. Remdesivir. Not explaining
that admitted WITH covid isn’t the same as being
admitted BECAUSE of covid. Changing
definitions of “unvaccinated” to suit them thus increasing numbers and fear.
Being sued by other countries (WHO) for “reckless
endangerment to humanity” and “misinformation”. Claiming legitimate
fact-checkering, then admitting in court that those
are just opinions? The News Media Alliance is owned by just 6 corporations that
are also partnered with pharma, food, tech, and more.
Discrediting natural immunity. Lying
about the Wuhan origin. Telling us covid-19 wasn’t airborne. Promising
the vaccines were absolutely “safe and effective” but not mentioning a single
drug side effect…something that is listed with every other drug advertised. Conditioning us by using the words like “rare” in front of things
that have turned out to not be so rare. Punishing and
banning people who have posted information ahead of the game which later turned
out to be true, but doing nothing to make it right. Misrepresenting the
PCR tests and having them pick up both covid and flu
“to save time.” Limited covid tests and long waits
when everyone knows early treatment is essential to get through it with few to
no effects. Covid is a two-part infection…in the
first days, it’s a virus. Then a week later, it hits your lungs as a
respiratory disease. Unscientific hysteria about the
unvaccinated. This is just a small sampling of the misinformation we’ve
endured.
Those who have hurt others and covered it up throughout
history have been called “conspirators.” Not the ones who were doing something
to prevent/stop it.
When did it become so evil to have conversations? In a
nation where free speech is built into our constitution, corporations seem to
have no issues shitting all over it.
Artists have
always deplored censorship. It goes against every fiber of their being. The
very fact that Neil Young pulled some cancel culture crap should have raised
bright red flags for everyone. Yet, few are looking deeper.
Now, we can
see where it stems from.
Learn your
history, bros. Or be manipulated as fuck.

An increasing amount of people collapsing and dying whilst
playing or watching football
What is going on with the Beautiful Game?
An increasing amount of people collapsing and dying whilst playing or watching
football
NE - nakedemperor.substack.com
Jan 29
Another four
football (soccer to my American friends) matches were halted today due to medical emergencies in the
stands.
What is
going on with the the beautiful game? These
emergencies seem to be happening more and more recently, both with players and
spectators. Football is an intense game to play and, with the intense passion
football fans have for the game, to watch too.
However,
there does not seem to have been this many medical emergencies in previous
years. Is it being reported more or are there new procedures to stop games
immediately? Maybe but it is becoming noticeably obvious with more and more
people questioning what is happening.
They are
becoming so common, the same doctor has saved two
people within the space of months.
According to
this Twitter thread (which I know can’t be used
as evidence but is interesting anecdotally all the same) there has been a 500%
increase in deaths of FIFA players in 2021. 183 professional athletes and
coaches have suddenly collapsed, 108 of them died.
If Covid was the reason you would have expected a rise in
2020, however the rates were pretty low. Vaccines are the obvious go-to answer
but some players deny being vaccinated. Perhaps the 2021 variants have affected
the heart more, perhaps its
the vaccines or perhaps its the spike protein
whichever way it gets into your body (wild lab created virus or lab created
vaccine).
Is this
happening at such a high frequency in other sports?
A quick look
through the news gives an array of similar stories for football matches over

Many American truckers joined in

50,000 truckers heading to Ottawa to protest the government’s covid vaccine mandate for drivers who cross the US-Canada
border.
“We are part of many large groups who
believe in our founding fathers. We believe everyone has a voice. We support
our freedom. Help us spread the word about this group and together we all can
make it a better place.. God Bless America,” the
group’s description reads.

WHO director
praises Neil Young Spotify censorship demands
Backed by the WHO.

Maas
https://reclaimthenet.org/who-director-praises-neil-young-spotify-censorship-demands/
Earlier this
week, singer-songwriter Neil Young told Spotify to
either remove his music from the platform or ban Joe Rogan. The World Health
Organization chief has now applauded Young for his censorship attempt.
Young feels
Joe Rogan spreads misinformation by hosting guests who oppose the public health
bodies’ narratives on Covid and its vaccines.
Unsurprisingly, Spotify chose to
remove his music and continue hosting Rogan’s
podcast, which is the most popular in the world.
On Thursday, WHO
chief Tedros Adhanon Ghebreyesus applauded the rock artist for “standing up
against misinformation.”

after my response to
his claim that “SARS-COV-2” has been isolated. It was clear to me after reading
his blog post that he did not understand what he was writing about. Even if it
wasn’t clear to anyone reading, Steve took the liberty of outright admitting
that he did not understand the topic as he relied on “experts” to tell him what
to think and believe:
I rely on
expert opinions of people who I trust for certain issues like whether or not

Massey, who has done an amazing job of destroying the “virus” isolation lie
with her Freedom of Information requests. She confronted Steve about his “isolation”
claim and brilliantly pointed out why he was wrong. Instead of conceding that
she was right and that he clearly did not understand the topic, Steve hunkered
down on his ridiculous claim and pushed her for a 5 hour live debate with his
“experts” in order to let the audience decide which side was right in the
“SARS-COV-2” isolation argument. Disregarding the ridiculousness of the 5 hour
time frame and the desire for the audience to decide a winner, Steve was attempting
to sit on the sidelines and play matchmaker by pitting his “experts” against
Christine. Once she enlisted the help of a team of her own experts, Steve
seemingly panicked and decided to exit stage left.

Pfizer, FDA Ask Court to Further Delay Release of COVID Vaccine Safety Data

Days prior to today’s scheduled release of documents related to the Pfizer COVID vaccine, the pharmaceutical company asked a federal court to let it intervene before any information is released. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said it agreed with the drugmaker’s request.
By Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D.
Days prior to today’s scheduled release of a tranche of documents related to the Pfizer COVID vaccine, the pharmaceutical company asked a federal court to let it intervene before any information is released.
It’s the latest development in an ongoing court case that began with a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed in August 2021 by Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency (PHMPT).
PHMPT asked the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to release all documents related to its Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID vaccine and full approval of the Pfizer-Comirnaty COVID vaccine.

EXCLUSIVE: Hershey Fires Unvaccinated Employees
Offers payment to sign exiting agreement

The Hershey Company has begun firing office workers who did not get vaccinated against COVID-19. On the way out the door, Hershey is asking employees to sign a nine-page confidentiality and release agreement that would remove their rights to sue the company or talk about their experience.
Although their signature comes with a “special separation payment,” many have not signed the agreement and won’t get the money. Employees say the payment was determined by an algorithm and for some, amounted to just over two months’ pay.

Subject: Re: CALL TO ACTION - HB4244 - THIRD TIME!!! - FOLLOW UP
All,
There are two parts to this email. Part 2 is especially important as a new bill has been introduced to replace HB4244...HB4640. This bill will allow the health departments to access our private electronic health records. The hearing for HB4640 is on Wednesday, Feb. 2 at 9:00 am.
Please fill out the witness slips again for every member of your household age 12 and older. Please email/call every member of the Human Services Committee and let them know that you oppose this bill. Please share this email far and wide!!!
Part 1
HB4244 IMMUNIZATIONS DATA REGISTRY UPDATE
Thank you to all the Illinois Advocates who took swift and immediate action to OPPOSE HB4244 (for a third time), an Immunizations Data Registry bill. By 9:00 am on January 28, 2022, within 12 hours of posting the Call to Action for the February 2, 2022, Human Services Committee meeting, there were over 3,000 Witness Slips completed and hundreds of emails sent to the Committee Members in OPPOSITION to HB4244. Around 10:00 am on January 28, 2022, Rep. Bob Morgan moved HB4244 to the Special Issues (HS) Subcommittee.
However, and of very important note here is that HB4244 is still on the Human Services Committee hearing schedule for February 2, 2022. At any moment, HB4244 could be moved or voted out of the Special Issues (HS) Subcommittee and will land back with the Human Services Committee hearing on February 2, 2022. We are keeping a close eye on this and recommend that our advocates continue to take action with Witness Slips, emails, and phone calls.
Also, please be advised that Stand for Health Freedom is aware of and tracking five IMMUNIZATIONS DATA REGISTRY bills that have been filed and are active in Illinois and any of these bills could move at any time:
HB0347 – Filed 1/27/21 – Passed House and Crossed Over to Senate
SB0256 – Filed 2/17/21 – In Committee
SB0582 – Filed 2/24/21 – In Committee
HB4244 – Filed 12/2/21 – In Committee
SB3068 – Filed 1/11/22 -- Introduced
Illinois Stand for Health Freedom has access to an outstanding tool, Bill Track 50, that will notify our leaders when there is movement on any of the above bills.
Hopefully, Illinois legislators are receiving a CLEAR MESSAGE from their constituents – that we will not STAND FOR anything less than MEDICAL CHOICE, FREEDOM, and PRIVACY.
In solidarity,
Stand for Health Freedom

URGENT ILLINOIS: HB4640 ACCESS TO PUBLIC HEALTH DATA
We recognize that our advocates may be feeling overwhelmed, however, there is additional legislation that is very concerning, namely HB4640, the ACCESS TO PUBLIC HEALTH DATA bill which will amend the Department of Public Health Act and, among other things, seeks to allow health departments to access your private electronic health records.
WE NEED WITNESS SLIPS TO OPPOSE THIS BILL – PLEASE COMPLETE ONE FOR EVERY MEMBER OF YOUR HOUSEHOLD, 12 AND OLDER!

SECTION I. Enter your name, address, city, and zip code. You can leave Firm/Business and Title blank. If it won’t allow you to leave them blank, enter SELF.

On Thursday evening, January 27, 2022, Rep. Bob Morgan stealthily moved HB4244 back onto the Human Services Committee Hearing schedule for February 2, 2022, at 9 am.
Because Rep. Bob Morgan failed to respond to emails and phone calls from his constituents asking for confirmation in writing that he was, as rumored, pulling/tabling the bill, and additionally, ilga.gov had not been updated to indicate any change as of this writing, Stand for Health Freedom and our Illinois partner, Protect Parents’ Rights in Illinois were unwilling to publicly assert that HB4244 was dead - based solely on rumors.
WE NEED WITNESS SLIPS TO OPPOSE THIS BILL AGAIN ASAP! FILL OUT ONE FOR EVERY MEMBER OF YOUR HOUSEHOLD, 12 AND OLDER!

4.This righteous doctor's office was ransacked, his computer wrecked, in yet another sign that Trudeau's Canada is NOT AT ALL like Nazi Germany by Mark Crispin Miller (31 Jan 2022 19:50 EST)
Reply to list
Dr. Ira Bernstein in being attacked. Like, attacked. Physically. In Canada. For being a doctor.
Please ask your friends following the narrative what would justify violence against a medical doctor?
Jessica Rose
Jan 31
Dr. Ira Bernstein has been practicing medicine for 30 years. He treated his first patient with COVID-19 in November 2020 with Ivermectin. Successfully. He is also the co-founder of the Canadian COVID Care Alliance: a group of independent Canadian doctors, scientists, and health care practitioners committed to providing top-quality and balanced evidence-based information about Covid-19 to the public. He is a humble and dear man, with a family, who is far more concerned with treating his patients and helping his fellow humans using his skills as a physician than he is with obeying dictates from unqualified selected government officials that literally fly in the face of true public health.
Ira is my friend. We are on a steering committee together. We meet every Friday at midnight (my time) and the lot of us talk Immunology, Medicine, tyranny - it is an exceptional group of people of which he is a valuable contributor.
Ira is being attacked. His office was raided the other day and his computer was destroyed. Just stop and think about that for a moment. That is his office. Where he treats his patients. Where he has been practicing medicine for decades. In Canada. CANADA. Where he keeps his PERSONAL PROPERTY. Violated. Damaged.
THIS IS INSANE.
If you think this is a movie or a fabrication, it isn’t. This happened to my friend. A Canadian medical doctor who CARES.
THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
No matter who you are, what you think about vaccines in general, or even whether or not you believe in dictatorships - this is majorly f-ed up. Our doctors are the most valuable members of society. They know how to put people back together. Literally. They need to be held in high esteem. Not threatened, not destroyed by having their practices burned to the ground or their medical licenses removed. Much like our elders, that we have shamefully marginalized and isolated and destroyed due to this nonsense pandemic, we need to hold these valued members of our society IN THE HIGHEST ESTEEM. I personally don’t believe a word of this COVID shit anymore. This is not, and never has been, about a frikkin’ virus or public health.
This is about control. THIS IS ABOUT CONTROL.
Dissidents are ‘in the way’ and you can bet your ass that ‘they’ will try to ‘remove’ us. But you know the remedy for that is? PUBLICIZE. PUBLICIZE. PUBLICIZE.
THE POWER LIES WITH THE PEOPLE.
Use your power people. Protect those without. Stand with those who do. No matter what they believe. Be empathetic. We can all get lost. And we need to be responsible now. For ourselves. And others.
Please talk to the people in your life who are defending this narrative. It is falling apart. As it should. It is a lie. Protect those who dare to oppose the bastards trying to destroy the very concept of freedom, individuality and humanity itself.
HERE’S TO IRA AND ALL OF THE DOCTORS, RESEARCHERS AND PEOPLE STANDING AGAINST LIES AND TYRANNY. I LOVE YOU.

The Treason of the Healers
BY THOMAS HARRINGTON OCTOBER 26, 2021
https://brownstone.org/articles/the-treason-of-the-healers/
In 1927, the French intellectual Julien Benda published La Trahison des Clercs which has been translated to English as The Betrayal (and sometimes the Treason) of the Intellectuals. The book is a searing indictment of the role played by intellectuals from both sides of the First World War in fanning the flames of that devastating conflict which raised the threshold of man’s capacity for murder and destruction to theretofore unimaginable levels.
For Benda, the great and unpardonable sin of the intellectuals in both Germany and France was to abandon the imperative to generate “disinterested” knowledge, and to instead lend their talents and prestige to tasks of promoting home-borne chauvinism on one hand, and the systematic denigration of the enemy’s culture and citizens on the other.
The rise of the figure of the intellectual, as we understand it today, is intimately linked to two interlocking historical processes from the last third of the 19th century: the rapid secularization of society and the rise of the daily newspaper.
In effect, as citizens began to leave the church and its leaders behind, they redirected their desire for transcendence toward the daily press and its new secular “clerics.” These new spiritual leaders, in turn, had to decide, as had their predecessors in ancient Israel, Greece and Rome before them, how to exercise their newfound power.
Was it their job to shore up the positive spirit of the collective in the age of the nation-state? Or was it to reveal to their parishioner-readers the stark truths of their time?
Given the enormous stakes in the matter, the second option was, for Benda, the only morally acceptable one.
As the twentieth century advanced, the turn-of-the-century writer was gradually supplanted at the apex of the new social communion by the man of science, and especially, by the figure of the physician. Given the exigencies of the scientific method, an adherence to a disinterested search for knowledge should have, if anything, become even more important for such people than it had been for the “lettered” objects of Benda’s ire.
However, it did not take long to discover that the newly ascendant men of science were just as prone as Benda’s treasonous writers to abuse the institutional powers conferred on them by society and the state in order to pursue narrowly subscribed, and often deeply inhumane, campaigns of bullying and/or human experimentation.
There was, of course the long campaign of intellectual terror waged by Lysenko and his acolytes in the Soviet Union and the large-scale buy-in—much bigger than is still generally acknowledged or admitted—by German physicians of the genocidal program of “Nazi medicine” during the 30s and 40s. And here at home, we have more than enough disgusting cases of medical abuse (forced lobotomies, the Tuskegee Study, MK Ultra, Oxycontin to name just a few) to keep a forensic journalist or historian of medical crime busy for a lifetime.
But when it comes to acknowledging this, things are much the way they are when it comes to acknowledging the serial crimes of the US empire. It is—as Harold Pinter said in addressing this last matter in his Nobel speech—as if, “It never happened. Nothing ever happened. Even while it was happening it wasn’t happening. It didn’t matter. It was of no interest.”

From R.S.:
Attention Illinois people.
Here’s the top item from tomorrow’s newsletter coming early so you have time to fill out a witness slip in OPPOSITION to this horrific piece of legislation. Please make sure everyone in your household does it too. Then share with everyone you know. And let’s get rid of this so called representative listed below.
Thank you!

This why we have to oppose HR4640 so strongly. Hello prison, I mean concentration, I mean quarantine camps.
DEMOCRAT REP CALLS FOR QUARANTINE TO OBSERVE THOSE REFUSING VACCINES
VILLA PARK - Villa Park State Rep. Deb Conroy (Democrat) wants to "isolate or quarantine persons who are unable or unwilling to receive vaccines, medications, or other treatments."
HB 4640 is scheduled to be heard in the Illinois House Human Services Committee February 2 at 9:00 AM.
If HB 4640 were to become law, persons exposed to an infectious disease could be placed under Public Health Department observation, only possible in a contained atmosphere with Department watch guards, some suggest such as a concentration camp.
The bill says:
To prevent the spread of a dangerously contagious or infectious disease, the [Public Health] Department may, pursuant to the provisions of subsection (c) of this Section, isolate or quarantine persons whose refusal to undergo observation and monitoring results in uncertainty regarding whether he or she has been exposed to or is infected with a dangerously contagious or infectious disease or otherwise poses a danger to the public's health.
HB 4640 would also set up a state network data collection system for persons that have received mandated vaccines, medications, or otherwise.
Conroy's measure is to be heard this week.
Over 3000 witness slips opposing the bill have been filed as of Monday afternoon.

10.New Yorkers who refuse injection will be "quarantined," if we don't raise a stink about this REGULATION (NOT a bill) by Mark Crispin Miller (01 Feb 2022 18:01 EST)

The wording of that regulation has been changed, with no fanfare, to make that possible:

CORRECTION: There are TWO Hochul regulations to protest (and I confused them) by Mark Crispin Miller (01 Feb 2022 19:04 EST)
Reply to list
What I sent out is Hochul's regulation mandating masks for all.
This is the other one, whereby those refusing "vaccination" may be "quarantined" to keep the "vaccinated" "safe":

It would be

Arab. Having stolen the land, displaced its people, and killed so many, it is
obvious why Israelis feel they have to fear for their lives.
