Wealth-as-Power is a cult, not a culture.

Every human system that espouses a belief set that routinely denies or ignores evidence, and attacks and punishes those who draw attention to the evidence, is a cult.
Wealth-as-Power is a Cult.
Be it a monarchy, an oligarchy, a dictatorship, a corporation, a hedge fund or any other bureaucracy of hierarchical power and wealth that protects the power and the wealth from accountability to the population, where avoidable harms are not avoided in order to preserve the wealth and the power. The Cult sets out a belief system that typically denies evidence of avoidable harms caused and evades accountability for not avoiding those harms.
Wealth acts as a direct lever of power, enabling the elite to shape political agendas, control media, and influence policy-making, creating a self-reinforcing cycle of inequality.
Neoliberalism is a Cult.
Nationalism that specifies an innate superiority of a group of people who happen to have been born within a territorial hierarchy system and under the banner of a Flag where a nationalist ideology is taught to children is a cult system.

Cults accrue power to the hierarchy, by exploiting the population of cult members, at the expense of the cult members.

Every mortgaged 'home' leaser is an exploited Neoliberal cult member in that their utility to the cult is to extract wealth for lenders rather than to build healthy humane communities. The choice of social housing for healthy communities was removed from us by the Cult of Neoliberalism.

Zionism is a cult. Militarism is a cult. Nationalism is a cult. Patriarchy is a cult. The Manosphere is a cult. 
There are no Races.

There are language groups and there are the fabricated Nation States, but there are no Races.

The very idea of Race itself was created explicitly to institutionalise Racialism, Racism and theories of human superiority groups, as part of a class war waged by Plantation owners in the British American Colonies of the 1600s. The objective was to weaponise the minds, hearts and bodies of indentured workers against all others, to prevent solidarity emerging within the working population.

Racism is a weaponising cult belief system.

These various ideologies are all grift driven deadly cults. They are deadly in that they deploy and justify violence in the maintenance of the cult belief system and its dominance. They are gritty in that they extract wealth for the purpose of maintaining and enhancing the power of the cult hierarchy through exploitation.
Patriarchy is a nihilistic institution of the Cult of Wealth-as-Power, designed to accrue wealth and power through male lineage inheritance.
Our climate is being disrupted, by the Fossil Fuel Industry, Industrial Farming, Industrial Mining etc., and the Cult of Wealth-as-Power Systems continue to do that which disrupts it, even as evidence mounts that the damage is likely existential for the human species and indeed for many other species of life.
Evolutionary biology is predicated on the behaviour of every organism increasing the fecundity of the shared biome through natural adaptation, learning to meet the dynamics of Earths living spaces.

Egalitarian cultures are an expression of evolution - Wealth-as-Power cults are an expression of degradation of evolution.
The 21st Century revolution will be the return to humane egalitarian cultural systems of organisation, where accountability replaces blame and punishment, nurture replaces violent competition, humanity confronts and challenges inhumanity, where empathy and emotional intelligence are the base of each society, each language group.
Examine these behavioural characteristics.
AI generated text on the basic behavioural characteristics of Cults.
Cults are defined by high-control, coercive, and often exploitative systems centered around excessive devotion to a charismatic leader or ideology, rather than just unusual beliefs. Key hallmarks include authoritarian leadership, isolation from society, thought reform (brainwashing), financial exploitation, and severe penalties for questioning or leaving the group.
Core Characteristics of Cults
  • Authoritarian Leader(s): A charismatic leader who demands unquestioning loyalty and holds supreme, unchallengeable authority, often presenting themselves as having special knowledge or divinity.
  • Isolation and Control: Strict control over members' lives, isolating them from family, friends, and mainstream society to maintain dependence on the group.
  • Thought Reform and Manipulation: Use of indoctrination techniques, such as sleep deprivation, constant lecturing, or repetitive chanting, designed to break down individual identity and create dependency.
  • No Tolerance for Criticism: Questions or dissent are treated as treason or disloyalty, with no acceptable means of challenging the leadership.
  • Exploitation: Members are often exploited for financial gain, sexual favors, or forced labor to benefit the leadership.
  • "Us vs. Them" Mentality: Members are taught that the outside world is evil, lost, or doomed, and that the cult is the only path to salvation or enlightenment.
  • Fear-Based Exit Barriers: Leaving is portrayed as catastrophic, often resulting in shunning by other members or threats of spiritual/physical harm.
Types of Cults
  • Religious: Unorthodox sects that often revolve around a prophet figure.
  • Non-Religious: These can include commercial/financial cults, political cults, or self-help groups, which operate using the same psychological manipulation techniques.
Common Indicators of a Group's Potential Danger
According to researchers, a key distinction separating a "cult" from a passionate group or legitimate religion is the presence of harm and lack of freedom.
  • "BITE"" Model: Coined by Steve Hassan, this refers to Behavioral, Information, Thought, and Emotional control.
  • Financial Dishonesty: Lack of transparency regarding the group's finances.
  • Victimization of Former Members: Intense, continued demonization of those who leave.
  • Sense of Unworthiness: Members are constantly made to feel they are never "good enough"
On Morgan McSweeny, Sir Keir Staremore and Israel.

The British Wealth-as-Power Establishment created the Zionist enclave as a weapon aimed at preventing pan-Arab solidarity emerging as an independent economic and political bloc after being 'freed' from the Ottoman Empire by the British and French victory in WWI.

At the time, Socialism was a hot topic amongst workers in the region. Socialism, not communism. Socialism with an Arabic Persian slant.

You see, the British Wealth-as-Power Establishment knew from history that the creativity and innovation of Arabic Academia fuelled major developments throughout history and that this creativity and innovation was, in the hands of a socialist system, much more socially and culturally productive than Capitalist Wealth Extraction and would eclipse the British Wealth-as-Power Establishments dominance, peacefully.

So they had to prevent that happening, just as they have done to every colonised land.

The zionist enclave was to be "a loyal little Jewish Ulster in a sea of potentially hostile Arabism" : Sir Ronald Storrs, first Governor of Mandatory Palestine.

The continuity since Balfour of that geopolitical strategy of prevention is unbroken. The only person who might have broken it was Corbyn if he was allowed to ascend to the office of Prime Minister, with a majority in the House of Commons and a majority of solid activist support across the electorate, an engaged population hungry to send Blair et al to the ICC.

The British Wealth-as-Power Establishment would not let that happen.

McSwindly and Staremore were tasked with destroying Corbyn from within.

Labour loyalists inside the party and amongst the membership refused to protect Corbyn 'just to keep the tories out' and fell into a trap that enabled the British State to participate in the genocide of Gaza and the continuation of the Zionist expansionary war against pan-Arab unity and solidarity.

The English people prefer to think Israel is influencing their polity rather than admit that Israel is a weapon of the English Ruling Class, which would mean that the English people lost WWII and the British Empire won, and thus all the sacrifice of their ancestors was in vain, a con job. It would mean they would have to complete what Watt Tyler tried to start in 1381. And that is too uncomfortable for the English psyche.

Britain is not broken - this is exactly what they British Wealth-as-Power System always intended.

Read and learn. You will be blown away, shocked, horrified, distraught. 

And VERY angry. If you read all of it.

The Zionist Colonial Crime Scene.

There is no possible valid justification for colonial genocide and ethnic cleansing of land for settlement. period.

There is no need to discuss the merits or demerits of Colonial Zionism, other than to note that Colonial Zionist Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing is what it is. The worst possible crime against humanity that an organised state can perpetrate.

There is no need to discuss the history of Colonial Zionism, other than to note that Zionist Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing is what it is and that the history of Colonial Zionism informs where genuine accountability for the many avoidable harms caused lies.

All other discussion other than what needs to be done to stop the Genocide, reverse the colonisation, hold the Colonising Powers and their Allies accountable at international level, at the ICC, as International Law dictates, to prevent further avoidable harms and return the land tenure and policy of the colon used peoples, are spurious.

'Belief' is not the same as evidence.

Capitalism is a political and economic belief system that causes harm, and avoids holding itself accountable for the harms it causes. It denies, ignores the evidence that this is so. This is fundamentally unsafe.




'Belief' is not the same as evidence.


Anyone making policy on the basis of belief rather than the available evidence is unsafe.


I might believe that money is inherently evil. If I applied that to policy I would make really useless policy.


I might believe that Satan is a real force, when it is clear there is no material evidence whatsoever for the existence of Satan. If I made policy on the basis of my belief in and fear of Satan, I would make really unhealthy policy. 


One ought to make policy on the basis of whatever causes avoidable harm must always be avoided. Basic Health and Safety.


I might believe in God, but I cannot bring that belief to policy formulation - it is a belief, and without material evidence, it has no relevance to public policy, other than that it is a matter of freedom of belief - one can believe what ever one chooses. 


I can believe in golden faeries in my garden. 


But I cannot bring that to policy deliberations.


I understand that Climate Disruption is driven by excess CO2 poured into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels, by deforestation, by agricultural practice that degrades the soil and by militarism's warfare. 


The evidence for all these is well documented.


Taking all these into consideration, with a view to avoiding avoidable harm,  I might make healthier policy.


Some people believe that misogyny is the natural order, that women are inferior to men, the 'weaker sex', etc and some believe that women should serve men, sexually and as submissive partners. 


Those people make really adverse policy that causes harm when it comes to human rights of women, education, wage equality, power equity, gender violence.


Acknowledging that belief as a false belief, and talking the evidence that men and women are persons, with brains and minds, fully capable of the kinds of thinking required to solve problems, we might make healthier policy.


"a problem incorrectly understood is insoluble, and problem correctly understood is half way towards a solution".


That is a fundamental axiom that anyone involved in public, elected civil governance really ought to be focussed on.


Equality and Equity are not the same thing.


Often 'being equal' is offered as a way of joining in the hierarchy - Women in Combat Teams for example, or Women as CEOs or line managers of environmentally destructive commercial operations.


It means being equal to the men who are causing harm.


It is a slight of hand, a mask.


Equitable inclusion has to lead to cessation of harm causation, reparations, accountability and forwards policy that eliminates the harm causation.... otherwise it is a set-up to maintain the harm causation.
