World Focus: Sayonara, Japan: Is the capitalist game over now?

For planetary life,
for human beings, for the past, present and future, what does the
Fukushima cataclysm foretell?
Firstly, what do millions in
Venezuela, America, Africa, Asia and
Oceania know about current global reality? True scientific and real
philosophic knowledge are not genetically acquired, they are not a
divine don or gift: they do not drop like divine nectar or like holy
manna
from the polluted skies. Billions of workers probably never ever would
learn the philosophic truth, would never acquire scientific knowledge
about their earthly being and existence.
If we would have studied
consciously and conscientiously, for example,
the history of Venezuela, of the Americas, then we could have discover
very
easily that not only the ruling ideas of each epoch are the ideas of
the ruling classes ... which are being disseminated mainly by
socialization processes, by education, culture, religion and ideology
... but also
see that the ruling truth and knowledge of each epoch are the truth and
knowledge of the ruling classes, which are being spread by the
international mass media, which sow confusion, distortion and
indoctrination and which reap lies, hoaxes, body, mind and thought
control.
Currently the only globally
accepted truth, sanctioned by the United Nations, is the truth that
comes out of the barrel of a corporate gun as depleted uranium bullets,
as 'terrorist' atomic radiation.
To know the truth of our epoch is very simple: just listen to the
politicians, read the daily newspapers and just listen to the man on
the street and to our educators.
According to the famous
bourgeois, mechanical materialist Sigmund Freud 'no one has a right
to coerce others to act according to his own view of truth. '
However, he insisted that a
conditio
sine
qua non for freedom was to know the truth. In the current
global mental holocaust, in the corporate Moloch of Murdoch and Co.,,
of global and
globalized authoritarian and totalitarian body, mind and thought
control, it is well-nigh impossible for billions of workers, for the
'wretched of the earth', to reflect, think, theoretize and
philosophize about planetary historic reality, existence and
transcendence.
We know what is 'lol' or
'thanx', to make the sign of the cross, but most of us, especially the
youth, do not have the foggiest idea what are atomic 'meltdowns',
HAARP, 'Operation Paper-Clip, Dien Bien Phu, the 'Manchurian
Candidate', zeitgeist, apartheid, Chernobyl, 'chemtrails', Marx,
'geo-engineering' or plutonium. Progressively, with all the 'news' and
'education', we are becoming extinct, are being disinformed into a
species of homo
ignoramus instead of homo
novum.
Dialectically related to the
murderous, historic, capitalist process of
perpetual ruling class accumulation - of violence, terror, piracy,
booty, privileges, power and vandalism - across millennia the lords,
water lords and warlords have developed superstructural mechanics,
machinations and fabrications to control and destroy human thinking and
thought of their 'speaking tools', of their 'subjects', to disable them
to understand the real and true ramifications of natural and human
exploitation, political domination, social discrimination, racism,
'military humanism' and 'full spectrum dominance', that is, total human
alienation.
Within this transhistoric
spectrum we have to see the current global
fascism, euphemistically called 'humanism', globalization. The current
United
States belligerent hoaxes, the bare-faced, blatant NATO lies and the
arrogance
of its terrorist military 'commands', are happening at the level of
collapse of
a planetary process which, like all earthly man made processes, merits
to pass away.
All the criminal attacks on states like Libya, Ivory Coast or
Venezuela, demonstrate the material and social decay of a destructive
culture. As it nears its end, it becomes more violent, more
terrorist.
There is nothing absolutely
true about capitalism, it has no
everlasting existence, currently it is in decay, it is 'melting down';
desperately, like Dorian Gray, it tries to rejuvenate its obsolescence,
all in vain, like King Midas, everything that it touches turns into
golden diarrhea. This mode of destruction has already reached
barbarous levels, in chain reaction it is destroying itself, it has
become suicidal.
At this level of corporate
decay and apocalyptic terrorism, inter
alia, what is still worthwhile to study, reflect and consider in
this 'epoch of naked survival'?
We have to use our brains, our invincible weapon, as never
before. Let us look at Fukushima. But, first let us remind ourselves of
certain tasks.
We have:
* To understand once and for all that 'a bird in the hand is worth two
in the bush', that one's earthly life is unique, that it 'is beautiful,
hence, to enjoy it to the fullest' (Trotsky);
* to liberate ourselves from
the religious and
ideological cobwebs of obscurantism and begin to transilluminate the
cosmic highway towards real anti-capitalist human emancipation;
* to create anticipatory
contents for our
emancipatory concepts and categories, for example, for revolution,
class struggle, production. labor, capital, socialism, Marxism,
proletariat, imperialism or fascism;
* to discover discover the real
apocalyptic threat in which we
encounter ourselves at this stage of the labor process, of capital
accumulation and of ruling class history;
* to note that United States
Ex-President
George H. W. Bush at least for once in his life time told the whole of
humanity the cataclysmic naked truth of global fascism, of the coming
post-Orwellian 'one world government': "if the American people knew
what we have done, they would string us up from the lamp posts." (1)
* 'Stringing up' individual
political leaders, like Hussein or Khadaffi, 'on lamp-posts' will not
stop the
inexorable nefarious free fall of capitalism into its own quagmire -
great men or a few power elites may be important, alone, outside the
master-slave relations, they cannot accumulate profits, make history
and conduct ecocidal and genocidal wars in North Africa or the Middle
East;
Now let us focus on the
Fukushima disaster.
Without the knowledge and the concrete means of how to stop accidents
like the one that occurred in Chernobyl a quarter of a century ago,
recklessly, with a ravenous insatiable hunger for exploitation,
powerful corporations were and are still constructing hundreds of
atomic reactors across the globe. Measured by the current events in
Fukushima, this is really 'Sayonara, Japan'! And therewith,
Good-bye, 'Sapient Man'!
Currently there exist and are
planned some 500 atomic reactors on
planet Earth; each one of them could bring forth the same dangers which
are
being generated by Chernobyl and Fukushima. In a nut-shell, Japan will
never be the same again. The Chernobyl atomic disaster claimed one
million precious, innocent human lives. Over the next decades, millions
of Japanese and
other peoples will perish as a result of cancer, of related illnesses
and mortal over-doses of radioactivity. The global ruling power elites
do not care, on the contrary, they are planning to reduce the world
population to only 2 billion - out of about 7 billion human beings.
This
would be a Holocaust to the nth power.
Over the danger - which Marx and Engels had warned about already
in
1848 in their
'Manifesto' - the Japanese government, General
Electric and the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), aided by the
disinformation campaigns of the global mass media,
have covered a blanket of silence.
Desperately, from the very inception
of this man made tragedy, the owners have lost complete
control of the demon (perhaps called HAARP), which they have
conjured
up from the capitalist
nether world to try to maximize the dwindling global corporate
extra-profits. As a result of the global depression, as a corporate
capitalist bulwark in the Far East, the Japanese economy is now in
shambles.
In global fascism there are no
true blood friends, it is a permanent war between
contending belligerent corporate forces for world hegemony. Now it is
Japan's turn to suffer the blows of the ax of inexorable competition,
untiring centralization, ruthless concentration and relentless
monopolization. Japan tried to enter the
military big business of atomic powers, to possess atomic bombs, but it
is
being nipped in the bud. Also, it tried to neutralize class struggle at
home, now it has become a struggle for pure survival.
Hence, what are the main
elements of the Fukushima cataclysm?
* This ghastly disaster of
Tokyo will last for months, before it could
somehow be 'controlled'; the radio activity on the islands generated by
the 'dirty bomb' plutonium will outlive humanity; it is known that the
half-life of plutonium 239 is 24
000 years.
What is sure is that every
single day the radiation levels are soaring
towards maximum heights. More and more radioactivity will be falling
out on 35 million people in the Tokyo region, which is only 160 miles
away from Fukushima:
"The inevitable consequence of
that will be a dramatic withering of the
cultural, social, commercial and economic life of the huge Tokyo
megalopolis. As more and more people abandon Tokyo it will become a
radioactive shadow of its former self. Of course the economic
implications of that for global finance and commerce are immense, Tokyo
is one of the three major centers of high finance in the world, along
with London and New York, so its abandonment therefore has ineluctable
repercussions that will rock the modern, global civilization to its
core." (2)
Do we know that already 25
foreign governments have shut down their embassies in Tokyo? That
others have moved to Osaka to try and escape atomic radiation? Do we
still remember that the U.S. Navy had offered on March 17th to evacuate
87,000 personnel?
Yes, the situation is very
serious indeed.
A few days later, on "March
19th
the U.S. Military has begun a voluntary evacuation of up to 200,000
military personnel and their dependents from Japan. " (3)
International bankers are
fleeing, are leaving the radioactive country.
The truth is simply that "the
evacuation of Fukushima, of Tokyo, of Japan has already begun.
The next step would be to evacuate the whole planet.
Sayonara, Japan! As Marx
stated:
in
to this world, 'capital comes dripping from head to
foot, from every pore, with blood and dirt.' Now it is leaving Japan
soaked in radiating blood and dirt!...'
Alea jacta est ...
Is the game over? Will and could we wake up now and annihilate
capitalism? And there we go ... more earthquakes, more tsunamis to come
...
