A new Parkinson-style law
Put several basic facts together, and you get a Law of Organizations on the same level as Parkinson's Laws. This is one that old Northcote didn't catch.

Parkinson observed that bureaucracies and NGOs grow by creating problems.

Real businesses** solve real problems for profit. Most of the problems are essential and natural. Humans need food, clothing, housing and work. (Work is the MOST important. People need to serve, need to be useful.) Business links those needs by a network of money, serving a good and crucial purpose. Business also creates artificial needs by advertising, but those subneeds are usually built on the basic needs. They don't last long otherwise.

Business for profit is a self-sustaining loop of survival and improvement.

Bureaucracies pretend to solve a problem but actually make it worse, in order to gain more budget and workforce to "solve" the problem by making it worse to gain more budget and workf....

Bureaucracies are a self-sustaining loop of death and destruction.

Now the Deepstate loop.

Fact 1: Blackmail is the best form of power. Raw violence works pretty well, but force needs 'booster shots' from time to time. Blackmail is forever.

Fact 2: Organizations that keep secrets will end up using blackmail to solidify their power. Blackmailers can't be prosecuted because they have blackmailed the would-be enforcers. Priests developed this technique, the secular Deepstate under Lady Edgar continued it in a more specialized way, and in recent decades the tech monsters returned to universal priestly power. Zuck hears everyone's confessions, including judges and regulators and politicians.

Fact 3, the crucial Parkinsonian fact. Organizations that operate by secrets and blackmail recruit new members by blackmail. Most people won't betray a nation or commit crimes for money, but most people WILL betray to avoid revelation of an unpleasant secret. The organization thus gathers people who are accustomed to keeping secrets. When you think about it rationally, it's no different from giving a math test to new accountants, or a physical strength test to new athletes.

Now we have a vast SELF-SUSTAINING AND SELF-GROWING network of infinitely wicked secret-keepers.

Deepstate gathered in the entire "medical" profession over the last 20 years, recruiting a million well-practiced secret-keepers all at once. HIPAA was the keystone of this recruiting effort. In 2020 the "medical" profession was flipped into a holocaust generator.

** I say business instead of capitalism, and I emphasize profit instead of Share Value, because capitalism is just one way of controlling and funding business. The Soviet system ran business to gain profit. Soviet businesses got capital and loans from the state instead of Wall Street. Soviet businesses thus had a much stronger focus on the primary human need of WORK, less focus on the artificial but benign subneeds of status and display, and no regard at all for the insatiable demonic appetites of a Morgan or Bezos.

Labels: Jackboot stomping forever, Natural law = Sharia law, Natural law = Soviet law, Parkinson
