Other Theories Which Complement TRP?

Delve into German philosophy, especially those that stem from Kantian ethics. I advise against the direct replication of these ethics, but that's for you to decide. The 1800s unleashed an era of thought centered on duty, to yourself, kin and mankind. The Hegelian Master Slave Dialectic is dense and worth a careful read. I would tell you to read Das Capital, but that's a crapload of reading, so search for Marxist discussions of commodity value. This develops into The Culture Industry by Adorno. Man, those texts will shatter your mind. Truthfully, together these texts will show you the forces that are working to enslave you. It will explain how many convenient aspects of our society are separating man from mankind.

Oh this thread is going to be a lot of fun...

Here are a few that come to mind:

Chomsky's theory on 'manufacturing consent' how the media partners directly and indirectly with government to promote a political platform and cover up misdeeds. Basically he doesn't believe we need a 1984 type structure to control people we just need to scare them by hiding certain stories and promoting others. Burying news that doesn't fit a narrative. This is considered common sense today but it wasn't when he started writing and speaking about it in the 80's. He basically systematically proves it in his book by the same title. [Don't buy the book unless you're an academic it's a rough read]

Greg Palast's Investigative reporting on the Bush family using office for wealth gain. [Not so much of a theory but a well documented and common practice among politicians of all stripes]

Smedley Butler's/Eisenhower's Theory on the Oligarchy using war as a tool to control the populace and war profiteer.

Jewish Zionist Bankers... Just kidding. That's bullshit and anybody that believes it is normally covering for antisemitism. A good reading on this is Ron Johnson's "Them: Adventures with Extremists" One chapter follows a detective trying to break into the Bilderberg Group meetings.

I think the reason this banking myth stays around is because bankers meet and talk about markets all the time (which is understandable) and fractional reserve banking is fucked up in general. It does (in a way) make money out of thin air but it's not magic. Getting off the gold then silver standards really unleashed a huge debt bubble on the human race and some cyclical instability but so what? There were debt bubbles before fractional reserve banking. There's no 'secret' organization trying to control it all there's real organizations that openly get caught all the time trying to control the it all!! Multinationals regularly avoid taxes, bribery, the Lieborg scandal, Bernie Madoff, price fixing, Enron, there's fraud/manipulation/collusion all the time! Everyone is doing their damnedest to control the world. That's the reality of man at his finest! If there is a secret group controlling the worlds market they're doing a shit job of it! But in general I don't despair; the greed off set's itself and human desire to have a community with rules and laws is a great counter to evil in the world. Let the fight continue.

I will begin by naming a very controversial, yet absurdly self-evident theory, that of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. It is a manuscript which describes specific demographics of people who aim to control the economic markets and media through propaganda for the sake of control at the expense of others. The Nazis made it a required reading in classrooms. Henry Ford funded publishing of a half-million copies in the US. The content within the theory is self-evident. If you read the wikipedia article and others, it describes it as a hoax. To me, and alot of others, it is true simple because of the empirical factors we see today.

One that's a bit more recent - and since I've said it before on this sub I have to start with a disclaimer that I am in no way involved with this book - but read Millionaire Fastlane. Just like TRP, I read it and thought "wow - I always thought this deep in the back of my mind but have never seen it written out before."
