TO MY SON IN THIS THIN VOLUME you will

find the transcripts of your initiation into the secrets of my empire. Read them again not for the arcane knowledge which is now second nature you, but in order to re-experience the shock and awe you felt twenty years ago when at age thirty the fabulous scope of my power was revealed to you by my trusted, and now mostly departed advisors. Remember the surprise, to the point of disbelief, with which you beheld the invisibly deli­ cate, but invincible chains of deceit, confusion, and coercion with which we finance capitalists enslave this chaotic world. Remember the feats of will and strategy that have been re­ quired to retain our position. Then, inspect your retinue carefully. Your heir must be equal to and eager for the task much as you were. Choose him carefully. As I lie here wait­ ing for the end I can afford to relish the thought our empire lasting forever as I never dared while in charge. Rational power calculations, so easily disrupted by the thrill of power, are now entirely in your hands.

MY INTRODUCTION TO YOUR INITIATION MY SON, the time has arrived to make formal what you have

confidently awaited for some years. Of all your brothers, sis­ ters, and cousins, as well as the offspring of my close allies, I have chosen you to be heir to my empire. All the trust funds, foundations, and accounts through which my empire is con­ trolled shall pass into your hands upon my retirement. All my alliances, understandings, and enmities with my hand­ ful of peers around the globe shall gradually become yours. Over the next twenty years we shall collaborate closer and closer, you and I, until, we finally act as one. For ten years you have toured my empire in a succes­ sion of managerial assignments and are now familiar with the outward operations of my crucial banking, foundation, governmental, and think tank organizations. Until now, my advisors and I have deflected your questions as to how and if my diverse operations and holdings, which seem autono­ mous and even contradictory, are integrated into an organic whole to serve the dynasty's interests. The fact that you asked these questions, rejecting my carefully nurtured pub­ lic image as an idle, coupon clipping philanthropist, was a major factor in the high esteem in which I hold you. Most of your competitors found puppet leadership in any one of my organizations so awesome and gratifying that they imme­ diately eliminated themselves from the contest for the top position which you have won. Such men of limited vision are necessary for my success. They bend unconsciously to the subtle pressures to which I expose them. They can be led in any direction I choose by simple-minded rationalizations aimed at their vanity without being privy to my motives which would be short lived secrets in their undisciplined and envious minds . Most important in your selection as my successor, how7

ever was your psychological nature which has been faith­ fully reported to me over the years by my associates, many of whom have advanced psychological training. A man in my position must have total mastery over his emotions. All actions affecting the power of the dynasty must be taken on the basis of coldly reasoned power calculations if the dy­ nasty is to survive and prosper at the expense of its subjects and rivals. All power is impossible to those whose pursuit is ruled by sentimentality, love, envy, power-lust, revenge, prej ­ udice, hatred, justice, alcohol, drugs, or sexual desire. Sus­ tained power is impossible to those who repress all their ir­ rational longings into their subconscious only to have them return in compulsive, out of control behavior that inevitably leads to their ruin. Although often clothed in the rational­ izations of power calculation, compulsive behavior is at root, the emotionalism of a frightened child, desperately project­ ing his inner agony into a reality he is afraid to understand, much less master. Although you now must begin to pursue it consciously you have already displayed the alienation from your emo­ tional nature that is so essential to achieving real worldly power. You must recognize your emotional nature as a primitive survival mechanism that was appropriate for the jungle and perhaps useful to common men, but useless for the tasks that confront us finance capitalists. Attachment to what you do, just because you do it, is the primary psycho­ logical characteristic of ordinary mortals. Such cognitive dissonance spells disaster for us. Our emotional mechanism makes our lives worth living, but is no guide to the occult arts of intrigue. So, continue to gratify your senses and emo­ tions fully at your leisure. As long as the empire prospers you will have the resources to indulge in systematic gratification which will leave your irrational urges sated and, therefore, powerless. You will never be in the unenviable position of the middle class strivers who must, from lack of resources, repress their emotional natures if they are to attain any power whatever during their lives. Typically, they end up 8

taking their pleasure from the victories and cruelties of their struggle. Thus, their end ceases to be power and they even­ tually defeat themselves with reckless behavior in pursuit of dominant thrills. I have brought you into seclusion with my most trusted advisors in order to inaugurate a new phase of your instruction. Your formal training in the "official" political­ economic world is now complete. This weekend will mark the beginning of your training in the occult technology of power that lurks behind outer appearances. As your tutors will explain, "occult" or secret knowledge is the basis of all power in human society, so I use the word "occult" advisedly, in its pristine usage. As I am sure you are aware by now, pro­ ductivity in itself does not secure power and therefore does not secure the gratifications of life. After all, slaves can be productive. None of my organizations in which you served so well are concerned with advancing the techniques of s at­ isfying human needs and desires. Rather, all are dedicated to the surreptitious centralization of productive, but especially coercive, efforts in my hands or in creating the intellectual climate in which such veiled control would be tolerated in the future. I destroy or paralyze productive efforts that can­ not be ensnarled in my web After a break Professor A. will take the floor in order to put finance capitalism into full biological perspective. His short talk will be followed by similar abbreviated summaries by his six associates, all of whom you know well. The rest of the weekend will be devoted to forthright fielding of your questions.

interests which profit from go­ control. For now, we can leave open the question as to whether these vested interests form a monolithic, interlocking network that culminates in the authority of David Rockefelle r as Chairman of the Chase Manhattan and the Council on Foreign Relations (or Lord's Rothschild. Royal Institute?) In any case , we do not believe that it is a coincidence that government 1;on· trol systematically achieves the opposite of the alleged

"egalitarian" intent. While it may n ot be obvious at first, the above in­ sight will accomplish a revolution of educational tactics in the movement for liberty. The task of converting humanity into billions of economic experts will finally be recognized futile and laughably hopeless . Instead, 'educational efforts can be directed toward the far easier {but admittedly not simplel task of exposing the real enemies of mankind - the powers behind the state- the profiteers of government coercion. In this happy task the movement �or liberty shall have the powerful forces of envy and resentment on their side for a change!
