Claiming climate change is "a conspiracy of banking families" is NOT about bankers: it is all about FAMILIES

Putting together a cabal of a half dozen of the world's biggest modern global banks (each with a few million individual shareholders) don't make for the most credible world-wide conspiracy.

 How on earth do they all gather together to agree on a coup and how do they all keep a secret ?

Paranoid theories, to be credible, must claim the conspiracy is of a closely knit group - perhaps a secret order of Masons bound by blood oaths or better still, an extended family with members all over the world, but still bound by the blood of old fashioned ethnic family loyalty.

Paranoid conspiracy theories needs, above all, foreigners to plot it because even the brain-addled potential converts to the paranoid's scheme know that westernized families no longer display any such loyalty or willingness to keep secrets.

FAMILY is the ultimate dog-whistle code word ...


Hence "family" is the ultimate dog-whistle word for Jewish Conspiracy. The occupation of that closely knit but globally flung family is immaterial, as I suggested in my comments on Watching the Deniers, earlier this evening:


Evans’ theory is not a harmless theory about an economic conspiracy, in fact it is not about bankers at all.
Instead it is a very dangerous theory about an ethnic conspiracy , ie a conspiracy among a “closely-knit” family taking over the world , that theory could just as easily claim this tight little family group is into being world wide diamond merchants.
This what makes me so uneasy and so angry : because family IS the ultimate code word for Jewish conspiracy.
A modern global bank might have 2 million separate shareholders and it seems hard to see them all conspiring to plan a coup — and keep it a secret.
Paranoid theories absolutely need visions of “foreign” others with “old fashioned values” of “absolute family loyalty” to make their world-wide conspiracies work.
But immigrants will tell you that “old fashioned” ethnic families squabble just as much as modern western families do – if not more so !

Why My Urgency ?

Histories of WWII all start with the presumption that it was a war raged between humans and human ideologies, with Nature’s climate and geography as side issues easily surmounted.My blog, on the contrary will only accept that it was conflict between humans and their ideology that STARTED the war but that it was the barriers thrown up by Mother Nature (geography & climate) that turned it into a war that lasted between 6 to 15 years and expanded to thoroughly involve all the world’s oceans and continents. High Modernity may have started the war convinced that Nature had been conquered and was about to be soon replaced by human Synthetic Autarky and that only human Tiger tanks and human Typhoon planes were to be feared. But by the end, more and more people had lost their naive faith in Scientism and were beginning to accept that humanity was thoroughly entangled with both the Nature of plants, animals & microbes as well as the Nature of so called “lesser” humanity. By 1965, the world was definitely entering the Age of Entanglement. Billions still believed - at least in part -with the promises of High Modernity but intellectually & emotionally, it was no longer dominant...
