Subject: Capitalism as Organized Crime.
March 1, 2021
Grenoble, France
Dear Colleagues and Friends of CEIMSA,
Speaking of corporate capitalists and their political defenders, a sage recently
commented: “They create our needs; they will satisfy these needs for a price,
and we will pay what they demand.” Such
is the autopoiesis of modern capitalism.
An illustration of this economic/political mechanism at work is found in Shir Hever’s book, The Privatization of Israeli Security (2018). After a richly detailed description of the economic mutations within the Israeli political economy, the author offers the following conclusions:
The purpose of this book is to trace
the reasons for the rapid transformation of Israel from a ‘strong state’ . . .
in which the production of security is a major tool of government policy, to a
state in which the private sector has expanded into the security sector to
levels approaching those of the UK.
These reasons are divided into three groups.
“The allocation of public resources.”
The decline in the differential
allocations of resources to security . . . , and the strong internal pressure
to further cut public security spending have caused a crisis for Israel’s
security elite. It has restricted the career path in the political elite for any
retied military and police officers, and pushed them towards the private
sector. A steep decline in conscription deprived the security elite from its
direct influence on the education of young Israeli citizens during their
military service.
Neoliberal ideology encouraged the
Israeli government to engage with private security companies staffed by former
public employees rather than operate though departments of existing state institutions.
The government budget is increasingly diverted to finance contacts with private
companies, a move that neoliberal thinkers consider to be a cost-cutting
measure. This encouraged the sale of sections of Israel’s arms industry, the
outsourcing of security in public spaces to PMSCs [Private Military and
Security Companies] and the withdrawal of the state from providing certain
security services to the public, which subsequently encourages individuals to
produce or purchase security for themselves through privatization by default.
“The responsibility for the application of force.”
The military occupation of the OPT
[Occupied Palestinian Territory] has transformed Israel’s security
institutions, but it was an unwelcomed transformation. Members of the security
elite continued to consider conventional war as the ‘core’ activity of Israel’s
security institutions, regardless of the actual distribution of efforts.
Maintaining the occupation, along with operations such as logistics and
training, were allocated to a ‘secondary’ role, and privatization through
outsourcing has been legitimized. Although this argument is still considered
controversial in the Israeli academia, the largest privatization of security
has been the founding of the Palestinian Authority to oversee security
operations in parts of the OPT . . . . Another part of this transformation has
been the increasing reliance on technology as a labor-saving mechanism, as well
as a tendency to address political and social challenges with technology tools
procured from the private sector through outsourcing . . . .
. . .
“Imitating the US and entering the
global security market.”
These developments fit into place
only when perceived in an international context. Neoliberal ideology has
increased its influence in Israel through US-trained economists, but the US
military aid to Israel has created strong material incentives for the Israeli
government and Israel’s arms companies to adopt a more business-like culture in
arms production and to gradually imitate the US model of a privately owned arms
industry. The managers of the state-owned arms companies adopted
a neoliberal ideology and called for privatization . .. . Originally, the
Israeli arms industry was funded to meet the domestic needs of the Israeli security institutions, the arms
exports was considered to be a pressure valve for the industry, and as a source
of additional funding. As the crisis in the Israeli security elite intensified,
arms exports became increasingly more important for the Israeli arms industry.
Israeli arms exporters became dependent on outsourcing contracts with the
Israeli government in order to promote their sales in global markets, thereby
applying pressure on the Israeli government to respond to developments in the
global arms trade, and in the global market for PMSC’s. The government
responded by utilizing technologies offered by private companies, creating opportunities
for private companies to ‘battle-test’ their technologies as part of Israeli security
operations, and by allowing the Israeli Ministry of Defense to take on a role
similar to the US Pentagon in supporting the private arms industry. . . .
* * *
The crisis of the Israeli security
elites has not been resolved. The Palestinian resistance to the occupation has
not abated, but the resistance to privatization of security inside Israel is
fighting a losing battle. The more privatization progresses, the more it turns
the Israeli occupation of the OPT into a question of money. When the Israeli
authorities find themselves unwilling or unable to invest the resources needed
to keep the contracts with countless PMSC’s and arms companies in place, they
will no longer be able to avoid the political issues. When that moment comes,
the core function of the Israeli security elites will be revealed: the
occupation and repressing of Palestinians. The legal and moral consequences of
this revelation are such that this elite group will no longer be able to call
the shots, and it remains to be seen what political group will rise to take
their place.(pp.174-177)
A useful introductory orientation
to this inside-the-company look at Israel’s carefully managed security needs is
found on the back cover of this book:
Israel’s security service was
transformed between 1994 and 2014, becoming an extreme example of privatized
security. This book investigates this period and the conditions that created
‘Occupation Inc.’: the institution of the private military-security-industrial
complex.
State-sponsored violence is increasing
as a result of this securitization, but why is it necessary, and what are its implications?
Shir Hever considers the impact of the ongoing Palestinian resistance to Israeli
occupation, the influence of US military aid and the rise of neoliberalism in Israel, to make sense of this dramatic
change in security policy.
Through the lens of political economy,
this book shows how the Israeli security elites turn violence into a commodity
a fresh perspective on Israel’s security policies.
The 22 + items below might be
understood as pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, which make little sense when looked
at separately, until they are properly perceived in the context of the Gestalt - the perception of the whole, which we call reality, a phenomenon inter-connected by
cause-and-effect relationships.
Sincerely,
Francis Feeley

The Covid Outbreak: “Biggest Health Scam of

Report by 1500 Health Professionals

“We are health professionals of the international collective

disease specialists) from different countries of Europe, Africa, America, Asia
and Oceania and, on August 26, 2020,
we addressed to governments and citizens of countries around the
world an alert message regarding the COVID outbreak.
We say : STOP to all crazy and
disproportionate measures that have been taken since the beginning to fight
SARS-CoV-2 (lockdown, blocking the economy and education, social distancing,
wearing of masks for all, etc.) because they are totally unjustified, are not
based on any scientific evidence and violate the basic principles of

New research finds at least a third of the Himalayan ice cap will melt
by the end of the century due to climate change, even if the world’s most
ambitious environmental reforms are implemented. A report released earlier this
month by the Hindu Kush Himalaya Assessment warns rising temperatures in the
Himalayas could lead to mass population displacements, as well as catastrophic
food and water insecurity. The glaciers are a vital water source for the 250
million people who live in the Hindu Kush Himalaya range, which spans from
Afghanistan to Burma. More than a billion-and-a-half people depend on the
rivers that flow from the Himalayan peaks. We speak with world-renowned
environmental leader and ecologist Dr. Vandana Shiva
about climate change, seed sovereignty and her new book, “Oneness vs. the 1%.”
Shiva is an Indian scholar, physicist, and food sovereignty and seed freedom
advocate. She was was born in Doon
