in this short episode i cover a brief history of Low Intensity Warfare/Conflict Doctrine (LIC) and relate with it why weaponizing narcissism in various different media and through the bourgeois imposed family unit is instrumental in ensuring conflict away from ruling class intentions.
in this installment i cover the treatment of trafficked and enslaved women both in the states and in South Korea and what methods and deception are used to keep them in these situations. i start off with brief discussion of possible material aid to assist vulnerable people with that we can strategize for which segues somewhat from this short discussion that i posted after part 2.
in sequential summary, discussion of domestic trafficking within the states follows the introduction, and then i relate that to the methods used in South Korea which also brings foreign women in to account for any amount of economic advantage Korean women may gain to avoid different fates. after that i “bring it back home” to make more comparisons between women trafficked in the US and abroad — the common denominator between these seemingly disparate examples and geographical locations being the US military, of course. this is the episode i have most confidence in to date as it follows very well from part 2, which i recommend if you did not catch it as the longer history makes the current trade easier to understand.
a short episode on recent news of refugees and migrants who are at risk for various war crimes by both states and their proxies along with reports from the last few years.
i briefly touched on how the fascist state operates outside of popular, cartoon versions, and i think the book Martin Bormann — Nazi in Exile can be helpful in grasping this. you can download a free pdf or read it in html version here.
again, some comrades and i who critically think about the media and how it operates are being accused of seeing “an op around every corner”. mostly it’s indirectly, because twitter of course, as it’s been pounded into our heads, is not a place for serious discussion nor is it actually possible for the sort of understanding that could come of that. also these people are chickenshits and have nothing else to offer but snark, like the little children we’re conditioned to believe ourselves to remain as throughout our lives, reliant on the masters’ media to tell us exactly how things are and not to question. here is a prime example (yeah i have him blocked, but he is obsessed with how people he hates go about analysis, so whatever):
trigger and content warning: discussion of violence including rape and forced examination which is related to confined spaces as well.
in this installment i examine the history of US military construction of prostitution in South Korea, briefly touching on the broader history of sex work and forced prostitution on the Korean peninsula leading up to that. i draw some parallels between the Japanese imperialist formal laws put into effect to regulate and control prostitutes drafted for their military occupying forces and how the US military utilized not only their infrastructure but their instrumentalization of women’s sexuality through more indirect means to facilitate a thriving practice of “privatized” prostitution after they abolished licensed prostitution. the mythology they have built as “liberators” over the more “uncivilized” Japanese colonial rule has been integral to accelerating the trade in persons, and it thrives present day with the same abuses and crimes done to the modern-day “comfort women”.
some discussion of television treatment of trans peoples’ experiences with regard to the program Sense8 may be triggering.
less importantly: spoilers.
i was trying to come up with some important words on the history of television’s use value using my own experiences as a starting off point. i think i was born at the cusp of it becoming a greater “babysitter” as the saying goes, able to only watch my grandmother’s cable outside of our three boring channels. then you grow up and realize they are all the same channels in essence anyway. i think there is a lot to be said on the production of certain shows as the masters were trying to pacify working class relations within from the 70s through the 90s, particularly aimed at audiences of color and (some) women. some good examples that come to mind are the Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Jeffersons. the mid-80s put on display the model black middle class family via the Cosby Show, and while A Different World has stood out in the imagination, looking back i remember moments of the characters mourning and then accepting a montage implanted in the mind of the white audience known as the civil rights era. it has been achieved, all of this equity is quite splendid to see played out before you as wages decrease and children are executed in the streets, now get back to work.
deeply racist themes in “critically acclaimed” contemporary television seem more covert to me now, as if we have entered a new era in programming that has acknowledged its own past in more overt programming and this is what is required now. i don’t know if that is a sound judgment; varying levels have existed all along and depend on the reader’s astuteness.
to put together the most coherent picture of the relationship between the US intel managed drug trade, military base patrolled brothels, and human trafficking would require a series of books, and it would most likely be difficult reading: many of the books i’ve wrestled with in appreciating the sometimes tedious renditions of the alphabet soup and the sociopathic agents and officers leading the operations really require a “cheat sheet” of acronyms referred to in chapter whatsitsname, section whatever that pop up again and again, in between activities that demonstrate their work in concert.
since the different “organized crime” syndicates and cartels are used as cover, this would require the specifics of relationships between key military players and their leaders. for one example, Lucky Luciano did not provide simply a fortuitous French Connection for the CIA to later stumble upon, as even some researchers digging around in the darkest corners of deep state activity would like to insinuate. presented as a series of fortunate coincidences for the capitalist inside army, this can dissuade one from understanding how these worked toward anti-communism playing out on the international stage and how this activity directly funded militant communist party overthrow.
i have been working on a podcast series based on some of the research i’ve been doing on the US military’s trafficking in persons and trade in the sexual servitude of many of these persons. i am trying to keep these as succinct as i can to define some terms and home in on the relevant (and damning) evidence to demonstrate the military’s abuses and domination in these fields, and this installment is a comfy 20 minutes.
trying to keep this updated. any links appreciated.
Hungary begins mass arrests, by Robert Samuels and William Booth
15 September 2015
HORGOS, SERBIA — After shutting down the main corridor for refugees to Central Europe and fortifying its border with 109 miles of razor-wire fencing, Hungary on Tuesday began mass arrests of migrants who tried to sneak across its frontier.
More than 150 were detained as the country drew its line in the sand. Its get-tough approach to the European refugee crisis created an immediate bottleneck and howls of protest.
Within hours, a tent city sprouted on the Serbian side of the border, creating another potential flash point of misery and anger, as refugees scrambled for new routes to their preferred destinations in Germany and Scandinavia.
Hungary’s move was condemned by neighboring countries, humanitarian organizations and migrants, who staged spontaneous demonstrations along the newly erected fence.
Frustrated migrants break through police lines in Hungary, by Arwa Damon
8 September 2015
The people — mostly from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan — had complained about uncomfortable conditions in the camp and not knowing what would happen to them next. […]
They walked and hiked about 4 miles, many dropping their possessions on the ground. Two kids from one family lost the shoes they were wearing. They walked over a train track and rocks barefoot for miles.
Hungarian police raced after the fleeing migrants, some of whom may be refugees, and at some point the group was split in half.
note the recurring theme of apparently random people who are “taking advantage” of countries receiving, or interning, migrants as the case may be.
The migrants said they had been told buses would take them to another area where they would not be fingerprinted. They expected to later get on trains they hoped would take them to Austria and finally to Germany.
this has got to be one of the most bizarre things i have read yet, resulting from the ever-expanding presidential election campaign extravaganza. sure there are lots more obviously staged “wacky” incidents performed by your villain of choice this season, but in this maddeningly fascist society that many on “my side” are still timid in naming for what it is, the ostensible “left” has my ears aching from recognizing their frenzied barking and growling in response to dogwhistles.
