Creating the World Consumer: Homo Economicus: “The Global Me”
As Chomsky has pointed out, global capitalism sees humanity in terms interchangeable cogs in the production and consumption cycle. The summit of corporate human evolution is transformation into “detribalized, international career men” described enthusiastically by G Pascal Zachary, financial journalist, as being an “informal global aristocracy”, recruited over the world by the corporations, depending totally on their companies and “little upon the larger public,” a new class unhindered by national, cultural or ethnic bonds.[28]
Barnett and Müller quoted Pfizer’s John J Powers as stating that global corporations are “agents for change, socially, economically and culturally.”[29] They stated that global executives see “irrational nationalism” as inhibiting “the free flow of finance capital, technology and goods on a global scale.” A crucial aspect of nationalism is that “differences in psychological and cultural attitudes, that complicate the task of homogenizing the earth into an integrated unit…. Cultural nationalism is also a serious problem because it threatens the concept of the Global Shopping Center.” [30]
It is this “cultural nationalism” which is described by Rivkin, and all other partisans of globalism, as “xenophobia,” unless that “xenophobia” can be marshaled in the service of a military adventure when bribes, embargoes and threats don’t bring a reticent state into line, as in the cases of Serbia, Iraq, and perhaps soon, Libya. Then the American globalist elite and their allies become “patriots,” but still don’t seem to do much combat.
Barnet and Müller cite A W Clausen when he headed the Bank of America, as stating that national, cultural and racial differences create “marketing problems”, lamenting that there is “no such thing as a uniform, global market.”[31] Harry Heltzer, Chief Executive Officer of 3M stated that global corporations are a “powerful voice for world peace because their allegiance is not to any nation, tongue, race or creed but to one of the finer aspirations of mankind, that the people of the world may be united in common economic purpose.”[32]
These “finer aspirations of mankind,” known in other quarters as greed, avarice, Mammon-worship… have despoiled the earth, caused economic imbalance, and operate on usury that was in better times regarded as sin. These “finer aspirations,” by corporate reckoning, have caused more wars than any “xenophobic” dictator, usually in the name of “world peace,” and “democracy.”
The Rivkin doctrine for France — which according to the leaked document, must be carried out in a subtle manner — is a far-reaching subversive program to transform especially the young into global clones devoid of cultural identity, while proceeding, in the manner of Orwellian “doublethink” in the name of “multiculturalism.”

Every single person in France should read this article… I am desperately watching my country die and rot from the inside and it hurts.
Fabian is right. Every person in France should read this article. If French people wants to see the furture for themselves they could lookk
at Ireland where multiculturalism (or should I say monoculturalism/consumerism) began in the 1960’s with the Hollywood/Nashville culture and is now the accepted doctine propounded by all politicians and the media and dare anyone with a different view open thei mouth.
there is a french translation on a french blog :
http://www.defrancisation.com/le-projet-rivkin-comment-la-mondialisation-utilise-le-multiculturalisme-pour-assujettir-des-nations-souveraines/
Fabian,
You are not alone to suffer seeing France in such a state. But this article is spreading around and explains a lot. If those stinking people truly believe French and Europeans will be destroyed without moving a finger, they could meet with a hard and bad surprise.
Keep on hoping, even desesperately, resistance is showing up.
Being a fench citizen and former political elected from 1983 to 1995 i agree with the contain of this article, when i was a teen ager i had for the United States a relationship based on the role of that country in defeating the german third Reich and to me thesev are not words because one of my uncle was one of these kids who caame to fight in my country.
My opinion on us policy turned from favorable to completely opposed, Uncle’s Sam is no more an exemple, all the Wars of these fourty last years were a dishonest practice to sustain Israel in his hegemonic wievs, to manipulate the need for democracy in arabo-islamic world to get rid of many leaders who have been supported for decades.
My major reason to negate us pretention to lead the world is the way they act on financial matters, the IMF has been for years the main reason for hugue drastics cuts in third world couuntries mainly in Africa and now the cuts on eupopean countries while in the mean time the american economy is supported by the asiatic excedents of Japan during the eighties, China for this decade.
This policy is no longer acceptable there are no reason for the States to make other countries pay for their laxism and the speech about fighting for Liberty and Democracy is just bullshit . In fact the system is in hidden bankrupcy and it can’t be solved whitout an iconoclast measure of withdrawing the dolar as a reserve money, not any of american leaders will accept that but european countries will fight for that result otherwise the economical war will cause mlore dammage than WWII.
You are right Jean, those oligarchs are criminals.
But they are making huge mistakes and World will soon find out how to use so pretty stupid mistakes. Also, more than half of the World is hating not all Americans but those financial murderers as well as they hate the corrupted ones of their own countries. Will perhaps take a bit of time, but they will shed blood tears sooner than expected. Don’t say there won’t be any casualties, but they will have a very high price to pay. Meanwhile I can tell you that in my home Coca is banished as well as every american thing we can replace by European goods. That’s also a way to strike back, hit their wallet!
The article and comments give insight to the motives of global capitilcontrolled by US Impriist forces. Please forward more materials and articles as I am very much interested to understand the intrigues to change the ethnic , national and cultural identities of various peoples and nations. Express our solidarity.
Whatever is true in this characterization of the path French society is taking is undercut by the silliness of sating that a US diplomat has some responsibility for it. Rivkin did what an endless parade of French Bobos have done before him since the 1970s making specious arguments that international relations are interlaced with community relations.
The effect discussed has been taking place since the 80’s, and began in the mid-60’s for goodness’ sake.
So it’s no more no less than the Kalergi plan
Yup.
effing k|kes.
And Hitler was a ‘bad person”? Gimme a break.
Charles (((Rivken)))
Duly Noted. Every. Single Time.
This is the same as Jews bragging about controlling/subverting Egypt & Babylon ……. their entire history is that of parasitically attaching to healthy hosts and feeding.
Political Correctness was an intentional “invention” of socialists at the Frankfurt School back around 1930 to bring Marxist social conventions into mainstream society. Political Correctness has been accurately described as Cultural Marxism. Yes. PC is indeed a Marxist tool of conquest.
“Political Correctness” is a Jewish YOKE on the necks&mind of Christian Gentiles.
Any Bible reader knows what a YOKE is, and how the Jews brag about placing YOKES on Egypt and Babylon. The “holocaust” is a YOKE on the minds of Western Christians.
Slaves are not “allowed” to have opinions, beliefs, or thoughts.
Slaves are just supposed to unquestioningly do the bidding of the master .
THAT is what Political Correctness is, the YOKING/enslavement of the Gentiles.
Make the Goyim afraid to speak a word, or think a thought.
Why did Christian Spain throw the Jews out the day after the last muslim was expelled?
Because the Jews “played both sides” for 700 years of Christian oppression.
Jews instigated the pogroms against Christians in Rome.
Jewish Bolsevicks genocided TWENTY MILLION Ukrainian Christians in the Holomodor.
What the globalists are doing to destroy sovereign Nations such as America is exactly what they have learned from studying their Jewish history. The nations of Babylon and Assyria both used similar methodologies to accomplish the same goals and this is the elite globalist central bankster’s plot against the Nations of the world. The vatican has even joined them in this satanic venture. Read Revelation chapter 13 to find out more.
