Burroughs Technique #6: Total Focus on Destabilizing Control

Burroughs brought all of his experiments together into one central task: destabilizing and destroying control.

Like the Gnostics, Burroughs saw the world as essentially a control mechanism or a trap. He saw his goal as utterly breaking and destroying that control system. By control, Burroughs meant the nature of reality itself, and along with his collaborator Gysin, he would accept nothing less than its complete destabilization and destruction. In this, he is one of the clear grandfathers of chaos magick.

The video above is a track from DJ Spooky’s album Rhythm Science, featuring the sublime Scanner aka Robin Rimbaud. It samples the William S. Burroughs describing his five steps for smashing control and consolidating revolutionary gains. They are:

1. Proclaim a new era and set up a new calendar.
2. Replace alien language.
3. Destroy or neutralize alien gods.
4. Destroy alien machinery of government control.
5. Take wealth and land from individual aliens.

The collective punishment dealt out to the German people after WW 1 by the treaty of Versailles and the cororally of that strategy being naturally the second Act of WW1 being WW2 are events not taught as a piece but using the lenses given us by Professor Efimov

lets take a closer look.

THE INTERNAL SETTLEMENT

What our trade and foreign policy should be (free trade, obviously) is out of the scope of this post: let us focus, instead, on our internal political settlement.

Although I do not necessarily agree with all of the details of the Harrogate Agenda, your humble Devil does agree with many of the principles outlined in it—and including Pete North’s assertions that we need to radically decentralise our political structures.

But, in the spirit of Chesterton’s Fence, let us look at:

• how our governance is currently conducted;
• where we want to get to, and;
• why we might have got to where we are.

OUR CURRENT GOVERNMENT STRUCTURE

Most cursory students of government will understand our current structures rather similar to this diagram:

In we take account of structures outside of the UK, the world works rather more like this:

GLOBALIZATION VERSUS INTERNATIONALIZATION:

BY HERMAN E. DALY

1999

Introduction

---

Globalization, considered by many to be the inevitable wave of the future, is frequently confused with internationalization, but is in fact something totally different. Internationalization refers to the increasing importance of international trade, international relations, treaties, alliances, etc. Inter-national, of course, means between or among nations.

It’s truly a disgrace John. This lecture by a Russian Spook from 2003 is rather good.
The Neo-Liberal Looting of the Russian Federation after the Fall of the Wall with a Complicit Yeltsin showed clearly how The Post Free Market Capitalism world would use Weaponised financialisation and liberalisation to bring back feudalism. The Political Class are all at this stage by definition various species of Elitists. With nothing but scorn for the Ordinary Citizenry.

The attitude is as in this quote. http://ahistoryblog.com/2013/04/30/elizabeth-sutherland-leveson-gower-19th-duchess-of-sutherland-1765-1839-scotch-people-are-of-happier-constitution/
the Countess, who seems to have learned nothing from the recent unpleasantness in France, remarked of some starving tenants:

“Scotch people are of happier constitution and do not fatten like the larger breed of animals”
