Larry Summers connection. ...When Summers was under secretary of Treasury for bill clinton, Mexico asked US for a loan. Congress would not approve. So, robert rubin and summers used money from, I think , the clinton global initiative and made the loan. They asked for a quick pay back. So, a Mexican's mortgage rate would jump from say 7% to 30% etc. So, in order to save their land, houses etc, the mass migration of Mexicans into the US began under bill clinton. Alan greenspan stated in his memoirs that he had a lasting friendship with robert rubin , then sec of treasury , and larry summers for the brilliance of their plan.Then when g bush was in office , he decreased funds for border patrol. America always has a slave class.When president of harvard , they went from a billion dollars in the black to debtors. Why would he be allowed to do anything after that? Well, Summers went on to give Russia advice after the fall of the Russian bloc......in small countries the farmers were committing suicide and they missed the days of stalin.Probably cleaned their treasury out like harvard.But he wasn't through . He and rahm emanuel each had large shares in two hedge funds which owned a wind farm corporation......First Wind. Enron was into wind farms and First wind got a lot of their assets as well as employees when they went under.First wind built a lot of wind farms close to the canadian border in upper state NY and ME. Almost totally owned by these same two hedge funds.Nothing could stop the proliferation of them............even the fact that they do not produce power. The real money is in renewable energy credits. Their own SEC report stated they did not have to produce power to make money.After 20 years the wind turbines are useless and cost more millions to dismantle. In the state of ME, it was found out that the wind farms were the largest user of power than the other two leading users.....paper mills and a large hospital........This is the reason that Trump did not sign on to the Paris Accord , which is just a way for politicians and corporations to gouge rate payers/tax payers. Nothing good for the environment.In fact, they are harmful . Wild animals are no longer seen around them....people get very very sick. Birds of prey are killed, like eagles. .....This is a democratic party scheme for the most part....Obomba declared a 30 year moratorium on killing eagles. To show how the federal govt. is in on the looting of America, Larry Summers was a serious contender for federal reserve board chairman.........but too many people objected. He certainly was not mentioned for financial expertise because he has led a path of destruction for the environment and treasure.

Into the Mystic: Capitalism and the Structuralization of Spirituality - https://deterritorialinvestigations.wordpress.com/2015/08/13/into-the-mystic-capitalism-and-the-structuralization-of-spirituality/

In his fantastic book The Closed World: Computers and the Politics of Discourse in Cold War America, Paul N. Edwards forwards a quasi-literary reading of the way power and subjectivity operate in the age of the computer, focusing primarily on the lineage running from the Vannevar Bush’s Office of Scientific Research and Development (OSRD) to the birth of cybernetics and their proliferation during the Macy Conferences to the electronic battlefields of Vietnam, and, finally, to the Reagan administration’s Strategic Defense Initiative – the “Star Wars” program that propelled the growth of Silicon Valley and its corollary Californian Ideology, as well as the globalization of information technology across the 1990s. For Edwards the collision of massive government subsidies and steering of computer research and the geopolitical imperatives of the Cold War – dressed in the rhetoric of “containment” – produced the metaphoric construct for which the book is titled: the “closed world”.

..It was Jean Baudrillard who was perhaps the quintessential philosopher of the Cold War discourse. In hyperbolic manner he charted the disappearance of the reality into hyppereality, the world of advanced statistical control and the governing of society according to the dictates of computer simulation. By the 1980s and 90s, as simulation went global and unleashed a torrent of cheaply-made consumer goods across the world, people had but disappeared into his discourse: all that was left was informatic capital, gobbling itself in a frenzied rush towards an ecstatic collapse. It wasn’t until after September 11th that the people, or even the specter of a world beyond simulation, began to trickle in again. ..

..We could also note that class interests maintain this continuity: the Rockefeller Foundation, once the major proponent of behavioral research, took to providing large funds for research into cybernetics both inside and outside the armed force’s laboratories and think-tanks. Warren Weaver, meanwhile, served as head of the National Defense Research Committee after holding the position of director at the Rockefeller Foundation’s Natural Sciences Division – a position he returned to after the war.

..or Paul Edwards, Miller’s cybernetic psychology was a closed world discourse par excellence, effectively serving as an internalization of the military’s command-and-control systems within the individual. It isn’t the only place where such a trajectory played out. In the RAND Corporation, cybernetics met with game theory and operations research (a sort of military interpretation of Taylorist factory techniques) to produce systems analysis, which relied on statistical research and computing modelling in decision-making and resource allocation processes.

...the need to prioritize multidimensional communication over one-way message transmission – was one the key motivators behind Gregory Bateson’s own interpretations of cybernetics. In 1940, along with Margaret Mead, psychologist Gordon Allport, and the Frankfurt School’s Kurt Lewin, he joined the Committee for National Morale (CNM), an organization that sought to define the conditions that led to the rise of fascism in Europe with the hopes of remedying them in America.

..Most likely under the influence of Watts, Bateson and his team discussed Zen Buddhism at length in their “Toward a Theory of Schizophrenia”. While the schizophrenic experience offered a negative double bind, Zen offered a positive double-bind that led in the opposite direction, one that pointed towards Enlightenment. ..

These cross-pollinations between radical politics, mysticism, and cybernetics were not unique to Great Britain, and had long-since gained traction in America. On a literary level William Burroughs had appropriated the language of communication theory to build a quasi-political construction around the tape recorder, which he felt could explode the boundaries of the control system of the “Reality Studio”.

In 1962 Price, along with Michael Murphy – yet another student of Bateson who had looked to the East, having taken to India in the 1950s to practice meditation at the Sri Aurobindo Ashram – set out to establish a space where alternative practices of living and being in the world. With consultation and assistance from Bateson, Watts, Aldous Huxley ...and Frederic Speigelberg ..., the two launched the Esalen Institute in Big Sur. ..

...Werner Erhard and his “Erhard Seminars Training” (EST),... attended the lectures of Alan Watts and became close friends with the philosopher, absorbing the principles of Zen Buddhism in the process. Later Erhard could be found dabbling in L. Ron Hubbard’s Scientology[33], Theosophy, Rosicrucianism, and the “Silva Method” propagated by Jose Silva, which deploys meditation and guided imagery to assist individuals in “re-wiring” themselves from the conditioning of past negative experience...

..Just as Esalen would become a retreat center for corporate leaders, many other post-countercultural spaces sprung up to educate the new managerial class. One such place was the Santa Fe Institute, where agent-based modelling simulations were being perfected in order to understand the evolution of complex systems, be they biological or economic in nature.

Though it is beyond the scope of our concerns here, the connections between the techniques and rather holistic theories emerging from the Sante Fe Institute is pivotal to fully understanding the growth of capitalism across the 1980s and 90s – the time of the so-called “New Economy” that rode the duel dot-com and financial bubbles until their respective bursts across the 2000s. We can give pause to mention, however, a series of events closely affiliated with the Sante Fe Institute: the Learning Conferences, organized by none other than Stewart Brand with help from Esalen. Modelled on the earlier Macy Conferences, these sessions brought together scientists and business leaders “with an eye to generating not formal products so much as intellectual insights and new rhetorics and new social networks to support them.”[43] These intellectual insights were both scientific and holistic in nature: how to learn from adaptability and flexibility, and put these into practices in our everyday business lives.

The Learning Conferences, in turn, produced the groundwork for the creation of the Global Business Network (GBN), an international consultancy group that works closely with Fortune 500 companies, advising them on actions through a combination of systems analysis and forecasting techniques – both of which can be traced back to the Cold War-era strategies developed at the RAND Corporation. Unlike those earlier conditions, these tools and their derivatives were put not to use to the enforcing of the closed world, but the opening of this world to the information networks of neoliberal capitalism..

The GBN’s primary founder was Jay Ogilvy, a veteran of the Stanford Research Institute – an important institution in the military-industrial complex nexus that was also a haven for countercultural sympathies. Ogilvy would go on to migrate to Esalen, where he helped set up the Center for Theory and Research (CTR) – a series of hundreds of sessions and conferences to aid in the promotion of an open-ended “new worldview”.

A Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA) is a major change in the nature of warfare brought about by the innovative application of new technologies which, combined with dramatic changes in military doctrine and operational and organisational concepts, fundamentally alters the character and conduct of military operations.” – Andrew Marshall

1946 : The RAND Corporation is founded.

1949: Andrew Marshall continues his work on game theory by taking a position at RAND Corporation. He eventually becomes close to Herman Kahn, James Schlesinger, and Albert Wohlstetter...

1971 : Futurists Ted Newland and Pierre Wack begin deploying the scenario forecasting designed by Herman Kahn at RAND and the Hudson Institute at Royal Dutch Shell’s Group Planning Office.

1982

Pierre Wack retires from Royal Dutch Shell’s Planning Group, his place taken by Peter Schwartz. [For more on Peter Schwartz, see “The SAGE Speaks of What He Sees: War Games and the New Spirit of Capitalism”]

1984 : The Santa Fe Institute is founded to examine the relationship between disparate topics such as biology, computer engineering, artificial intelligence, and economics to complexity theory. Kenneth Arrow, formerly of RAND and the Cowles Commission, is a member.

1987 : Peter Schwartz, building on the tactics devised by Herman Kahn and those used at the Royal Dutch Shell Planning Group, co-founds the Global Business Network – an“information hunting and gathering” consulting company for large corporations. Among those closely affiliated with the Global Business Network is Kevin Kelly, a developer for the Whole World ‘Lectronic Link and writer and editor for Wired magazine...

1999 - The Swarm Development Group is launched by members of the Santa Fe Institute. It received heavy funding from the Department of Defense’s Joint Warfare Analysis Center.

So what is the Santa Fe Institute?

In was founded in 1984 by a group of scientists from the Los Alamos National Laboratory, but the leading luminaries of the organization have included the economist Kenneth Arrow, the innovator of the field of artificial life, Chris Langston, and the theoretical biologist Stuart Kauffman. Kauffman is an intriguing character, having been brought into the world of artificial intelligence research at MIT by Warren McCullouch, one of the earliest cyberneticians in the hey-day of the Macy Conferences and MIT’s relationship to the military-industrial complex during World War 2. Philip Mirowski has observed that the language of finance at times underscores Kauffman’s approach to adaptability in biological systems..
