: a week or so after publishing “
The Real Matrix
”(

) on this site four and a half years ago I received an email from aTerry Hayfield, an independent researcher based in Ohio, who offered to share his findings. While his core claim was different from what I’d proposed, there was a key point of congruence: both of us realized, in different ways, that there is indeed a “real matrix” in which most Americans are imprisoned, as it were: not by some AI device, of course, but by their so-called educations, mass media diversions, and the controlled political and economicsystems—designed, respectively, to indoctrinate, distract, and create an illusion of choice within systems that are controlled from the top by a well entrenched superelite (as I calledit)—working through such entities as the Council on Foreign Relations, the TrilateralCommission, the Bilderberg Group, and finally, the British Fabian Society. What hadprompted Hayfield to write? I already realized that I had committed an error: because of the length of my discussion I had deleted a section on the Fabians. According to Hayfield,my error was worse: my conception of the “real matrix” was false, as it rested on a falsepremise: it neglected the Permanent Revolution.Here, no doubt summarized too quickly, are Hayfield’s main claims based on four decadesof research and study including direct experience working with organized labor. Outside the“real matrix” is the Permanent Revolution, a term referring not to any specific power elite but to a process, economic in nature, directing the actions of the elites, who do what they donot simply because they want to but because they have to. At the core of this process is aspecific British-American capitalism, managed by the British Fabian Society for the Crown.British-American capitalism has a design flaw: overproduction and underconsumption.Hayfield calls this the flaw of capitalism. Because of the flaw of capitalism, British- American capitalism is in constant turmoil; it must always change, expand, revolutionizeitself from within—finding new markets for what it produces and finding ways of gettingcurrency into consumers’ hands so they can buy what capitalists produce. Otherwise thesystem falls into crisis and must resort to some form of fascism. Harvard economist JosephSchumpeter coined the phrase ‘creative destruction’ to describe this continuous process of disruption and change (see his
Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy
, 1942). Thesuperelite’s cure for the flaw of British-American capitalism is the Permanent Revolution — building up a global capitalism that at its height will evolve into global socialism and theninto global communism (in the sense Marx originally intended for that term).

This process, according to Hayfield, is what is sweeping away — destroying — our Republicfrom within. It is crucial to grasp that in this view capitalism, socialism and communismare not alternative systems but components of a single process. British-American capitalismmust exist in order for the socialism originally desired by the Fabians to exist. Conversely,socialism cannot exist without capitalism. British-American capitalism thus stands at thefoundation of the process. Hence (1) British-American capitalism—not socialism—is theenemy and must be the target of those who would save our Republic. Moreover (2):communism as usually defined is a myth. The Soviet Union was a poorly planned form of state capitalism. The Leninists attempted socialism without a capitalist base. Realcommunism thus hasn’t happened yet! British-American capitalism is creating theconditions for its creation!Such a view is bound to raise eyebrows. More than one respondent has called Hayfield acloset Marxist. This is simplistic. He believes that nearly all Patriot organizations andpublications are parts of the Hegelian ploy to create a “controlled opposition” and herd asmany opponents into it as possible so that they may be safely neutered. He believes thishappened with the John Birch Society, which had subterranean connections to Rockefellerdollars from the very start. Hayfield has adapted the term Perestroika for all these efforts, which he also believes includes Ron Paul’s rise to visibility.

. I havereservations about a number of his conclusions, which include the idea of a new politicalfusion of “left” and “right” forming a new political party devoted to exposing the Fabiansand thwarting the Permanent Revolution. He has more confidence than I do thatindependent voters will respond to an exposure of the Fabians. As of yet they have notresponded to exposures of the much better known CFR and the Trilateral Commission,probably because they are more interested in sports and American Idol. I am unsure, moregenerally, that our Republic can be saved. In my pieces linked to above I expressed doubtsabout the existence of an economic process that stands above the aggregate actions of individuals, including the superelite. Using the principle known as Ockham’s Razor, wemight consider that the superelite with its tremendous resources and pull, an educationalsystem designed to turn us all into collectivists and subordinates, and the myriaddistractions including the explosion in sexual innuendo in the marketplace since theKinseyite revolution, just might suffice. But I do not dismiss out of hand the possibility of supervening historical laws governing these things. I know of cases of Republics becomingEmpires (e.g., Rome); I know of no cases of Empires returning to being Republics. Doubtlessthere are reasons why this is the case.
Also, I am unclear what kind of society Hayfield would have us work toward, although heclearly sees the system instituted by the Articles of Confederation as superior to what cameabout later with the Constitution and when the Crown reasserted control (Jay Treaty). Thatdoesn’t help us much today, of course, if for no other reason than the vastly greatercomplexity of society now. As bad as the present structures of domination are, the power vacuum created by their sudden end in a population accustomed to them seems to meequally if not more dangerous, which is why I continue to support specific piecemeal effortssuch as Ron Paul’s, first to audit and then to eliminate the Federal Reserve—one thing at atime. Be all this as it may, I would like to see Hayfield’s research studied and discussed. After all, with the current

the table, and not let our egos get in the way of frank and open dialogue. I am told that Mr.Hayfield has had hostile exchanges with other NewsWithViews.com contributors. This isunfortunate, because while my views are not congruent with his, his documentation is quiteextensive and his specific claims about, e.g., the Fabians, check out. If it pushes the limits of our comfort zones, then so be it. Our purpose here is to learn and communicate the truth—oras much of it as we can uncover—not maintain feelings of intellectual security. For only onthis basis can we expect our actions to succeed. And let’s observe that with last year’s very public bailouts of institutions deemed “too big to fail” and articles now appearing aboutHalliburton-subsidized detention camps not on “conspiracy sites on the Internet” but in the very mainstream San Francisco Chronicle (

Four Cardinal Errors
, as I will call them, have all but destroyed our original Republic,dating from July 4, 1776 with the Declaration of Independence.
Error One:
the Republicfailed to gain full freedom and economic sovereignty from the British Crown, and this state of affairs went unrecognized.
Error Two:
the country adopted an educational system whosepremises were alien to those of a free Republic.
Error Three:
Americans slowly but steadily lost the “moral religiosity” of its founding traditions, replacing it with a naturalisticmaterialism also imported from Europe.
Error Four:
Americans did not recognize theBritish Fabian Society for what it was, and stayed blind as agents of Fabian permeationgradually assumed control over dominant institutions and occupations in this country. Thispaved the way for the piece-by-piece erosion of our sovereignty and its replacement by worldgovernment (“global governance”).The first of these will doubtless come as something of a surprise. Please allow me to elaborate.
Cardinal Error One
.
Our Republic, founded in 1776, failed to retain its full freedomand economic sovereignty from the British Crown—which had long been the wealthiest andmost powerful secular entity in the Western world. (See E.C. Knuth, “
The Empire of theCity: The Secret History of British Financial Power
,” orig. 1944).

Concentrations of power have always been dangerous. This can be as true of private wealth asit is state power; when used to buy and retain the loyalty of heads of state, private wealth ispower. Such a system was built up gradually by the Rothschild dynasty in the final third of the18th century. Mayer Amschel Bauer had been a child prodigy of sorts, growing up inFrankfort-on-the-Main and learning the art of money lending from his father, Amschel MosesBauer. The elder Bauer had started a counting house and hung a red shield over the entrance.The Bauers were Ashkenazi Jews, and the red shield was a revolutionary symbol. Young Amschel Mayer’s parents having died from the plague, he was sent to Hanover to work in amajor bank. His talent obvious, he became a partner when still in his teens. He returned toFrankfort and bought the family business back. The red shield was still there. He changed hislast name to
Rothschild (Rott schild
= red shield), offered his services as a dealer in rare coinsto local heads of state, and as a moneylender. He was soon on his way to becoming fabulously wealthy. He would move with his family into a house shared with the Schiffs, anotherfabulously wealthy banking dynasty whose most famous progeny would be Jacob Schiff.
