Plato to Bushco

The Neoplatonic Hierarchy:

The twentieth century has seen a lot of mega-corporate and bureaucratic growth. The old top-down or Platonic hierarchy form of control has been exposed to the extent that Harvard Business Journal has recommended corporate paranoia and detailed the 'Nut Island Effect' wherein Empires of inefficiency abound. There are alternative forms of organizational design which have also shown promise and keeping the decision-making near to where the results are expected seems to be necessary and often will include employee ownership (Lincoln Electric was an early example) or bottom-up participation as well as Quality Circles. I will address the international and larger picture recommendations of futurists like Alvin Toffler towards the end of this book. For now we might simply try to understand why the top-down approach was necessitated.

There were situations where elites tried to keep all their clan up to speed and involved in the governance of their enterprises as recently as Carthage. Aristotle was surprised to witness this in his book Politics. The Keltic Dirfines and Incan or Mayan sharing systems were also superior to the kind of thing Plato formalized as society in the Mediterranean moved away from the meritocracies that had existed in places like Egypt. I can understand why Plato's ancestor Solon wisely did a lot of what he did. The average person was enamoured with power wherever they could get it. Sex with younger males or mentoring systems like Pederasty is part of what was happening. Women were seen as chattel since Hammurabi had made them the property of men in a nearby culture administered by the same elite family that Solon belonged to. I can't absolutely prove the lineage of Solon is the same as the Ptolemaic and their De Danaan roots but I can be sure that most noble Greeks were related to these gifted people who go by many names including Danaus or Homer's DNN. Solon made a last stab at protecting property rights for women.

In 2350 BCE the main leader of this area was Sargon the Great. Unfortunately the myth of the basket and the bulrushes that was part of his life later became enacted with another of his extended family. Yes, Moses (whoever and how many people he might be) was just telling another old myth in the same fashion that Plato was immaculately conceived before Yeshua. We have a lot of archaeological evidences to show this Hyksos period saw the development of the hierarchy that now rules us. I have covered in great detail these facts in at least ten other books and new facts in support of my theories come in every month if not more often. I cannot recall any evidence that does not fit my history and thus prove the Empire journalists were lying to us. The Shardana architecture is one of the better evidences but linguistics and the Tarim Basin red heads have helped a lot. Lice, Hobbits, Chaos Science (String Theory) and DNA as well as the Peruvian Cocaine all join the list. Nevertheless you still have people fighting to affirm lies and frauds that our nations, history, racism and treatment of our fellow lifeforms on earth are organized under.

Plato got one thing very right. He said that the advent of writing (The Phoenicians gave them a script that could be used for writing about a millennium earlier.) had diminished the ability of average people. The discipline of Brotherhood and thinking or the Joy of story-telling had kept a modicum of egalitarianism alive. Today you have a majority of people on earth who think the likes of Fox News and their teachers are capable and disciplined tellers of truth. The ethics that allowed the people of the United States to accept the assassination of JFK, Lincoln, Garfield and the other leaders I am addressing in this book is proof of Plato's contentions. I still hope that the 'Spin' surrounding such things as Watergate and Iran/Contra might get corrected. I hope it becomes attached to the people who still appear to run the show just as the courts are starting to hear evidence against George Bush from survivors of slave camps like Auschwitz and the likes of IBM who tracked all Jews for Hitler. I don't hold my breath as I wait and see if people telling the truth about the Patriot Act being a furtherance of the Gestapo are actually listened to. But I am heartened to see Gore Vidal has not stopped looking and Chomsky's books are selling.

Of course the whole story is seldom addressed by any one author due to the extent of the lies. I think I have pretty much done the job now. In every area of social governance and science I have made a strong case in some fifty books. Most people don't read that many books in their adult life. I don't include romance novels and the like when I say that.
