Lets almost wrap it up. The Abel Pirates and Cain Settlers are waging and winning a class war against the peasants and comp for millennia.
The famous not so holy books are a compendia of land and power property rights,claimants, claims of property,claims of slaves, claims of property of women, claims of populations, contracts regarding some promised land stipulated between god and his perpetual rent adepts.
A huge registry of claims, contracts, broken deals , etc. With tons of linguistic and semantics deceptions. A down to earth directory of claimants names and claims.
Abel and Cain,first one a nomad , a pirate and the other a sedentary settler.
They are coding the capital for ages, they mingle with each other, they work hand in hand, they are promiscuous, they kill each other.. But they have a slightly different legal code of their activity. Both are looters of land or capital grabbers.
They , The Abel Pirates, evolving from nomadic looters, need safe heavens and once that was island of Tortuga, now is, hehe, Delaware, home of Joe Biden or any similar fake jurisdictions for the Pirates of Capital. And strangely we are back to the new Pirates of Caribbean Capital jurisdictions, Delaware, or Luxemburg or Jersey island or…, as a black hole exemption.
Yes, this post is also a commentary of the Katharina Pistor book”the code of capital”
Law creates Capital, without Law and the lawyers there would be NO CAPITAL. Leftists, keep it in mind when blahblahing about the current neoliberal system. It is coded and do not talk bollocks, like when omitting the current money creation fake accounting.
Katharina Pistor is a kind of, in strict WD opinion, empathic, “humane”, “progressive” liberal. Almost extinct branch of capitalism today.So, nothing special.The alternatives are even worse but that is no excuse.
But, reading it around 40 Celsius in shade is fun.Recommended.
As you have previously read Witchdoctor, the human parasite has reached his overall and especially IQ ceiling and so, keep reading and relax.Long covid brain shrinking effects and similar will help you feel numbly stupid in the sun.Fly with Delta instead.Or reserve the Omega.
In the meantime you are witnessing the local effects, and they are always only local – Earth constrained, of the 2nd law of thermodynamics. The entropy is reaching a point where the temperatures are getting even from equator to the far north and this is a prelude to a heat death or the entropy uniformity, which is not so good for you, even if you are completely brain uniformally dead..Loss of water through the atmospheric evaporation slowly into outer space is the next step ,in a few decades…. Keep drinking.
In the meantime , once upon the time,there was a famous quantum leap where the Abel Pirates detached themselves from the Cain settlers. It was made after the invention of the Bill of Exchange sometimes in 12th century in Italy.The historic necessity of expanding trade and credit and the gold standard constraints made the deceptive semantics into a new law.
It was a trickster move, a deceiving helping hand, a lie , deception, a sleight of hand, a cheap trick, as usual, which makes the famous progress leap forward.
A classic I Owe You note expanded its legal code by adding a small word; “to be paid to the seller, or his messenger “ ( Pistor choice of word, maybe theological in its meaning of money and the devil works) or, if you prefer, much better, the Bearer. In Italian, where it was invented, it was “al portatore”, someone who collects or brings the IOU.
The buyer of goods wrote an IOU – a promissory note of payment – to the seller, OR his MESSENGER. The Bearer and holder of note..
The third party steps in- The Bearer- and the trick of the messenger means that ANYONE in possession of the IOU is entitled to cash it in, to receive money. Bearer becomes Holder, too.. The Bill of Exchange is born and the capital is detached from the two parties- the buyer and the seller. Someone else, The Messenger- The Bearer- the Holder-, is entitled to cash, collect and sell bills of exchange. The first Dematerialized financial instrument was born and the road to today was open.
The semantic trick of replacing a simple courier who was carrying the IOU between two contractual parties as a way to hasten or ease the transaction and transform it into an Independent Bearer-Holder who works for himself collecting bills of exchange and selling them at a discount in the measure of risk these bills have of being or not covered by real cash. … The dirty trick was legally coded and you were born, Abel boy.
The Pirate of the code of capital.Law made you.From a cheap linguistic trick which changed the law of capital, for good.Yes , it seemed logical and human, that “your friend” goes and collects the promise to pay on your behalf, since you were busy. But that was a trick for the stupid. The Bearer was a linguistic trick of the new code of capital.The friend did it for himself and sold onward someone else notes or IOUs.
The Bills of Exchange are a money multiplier and this house of cards of multiplying financial instruments resembling and being able to turn and become cash money, to be cashed in, is now in tens and tens and tens of trillions.
How the Bandits, Pirates and Mafias made all this you call civilization
Even Katharina Pistor notes that Bandits or Organized crime mafias organized themselves into Sates through history (Charles Tilly).
“The Thugs battled over, the winner emerged, he made coalitions and put a frontier or a boundary around the territory he hijacked, looted and conquered”. The Cain settler state was born-WD.
While the Abel Pirates only loot, extract and leave the scorched Earth behind them and then move to the next promised land to repeat the looting, and the Cains sedentary settlers gave them the jurisdiction, the fake state law by which The Abel Pirates paid nothing out of their pockets for looting tax free. They gained the Incorporation in a safe haven choosing the best law and tax rate for their protection.This is purely theological semantics of origin..
In order for this to happen all around the globe, Abel Pirates have to use two tools: the Anglosaxon (common) law which is based in origin on private law contracts and not on public goods law , and the Corrupting of the ruling Cain settlers Oligarchy to abide to Abel for this looting of the Cain peasants…
A compromise between Abel and Cain, shaky but working, was reached.Instead of killing each other Cain was bribed and corrupted in order to give Abel the scot free status.The scot was a medieval tax; if you evaded paying it you got off scot free.
Katharina Pistor uses a sporty vocabulary depicting the Abels as a “Roving Capital”. This roving has to be somehow connected to Oxbridge roving boats competitions, instead of calling them simply Pirates (of the code of capital), of which there is a rich Anglosaxon history of scorched earth..
The Cains are instead called Stationary Bandits, which are somehow more humane since they have to make some compromises and give some crumbs to their faithful subjects serfs.
Law codes and makes the capital and the law makes you poor.All your shitty jobs, rights, liberties are law encoded by your Cain or Abel Oligarchy.
Under the code of capital, there is one more layer.
It is the Accounting law rules. Like in fake accounting when the money out of thin air comes into existence, like when people employed, working for the code of capital are a cost while investments are not. Or when the Abel and Cain
“externalities”, another linguistic deception, mean that the destruction of the planet is not counted or accounted in accounting of the code of capital accounting books..
Or when you work for nothing and have no contract, no safety net, then you are called informal worker and there is no accounting book in which you are counted for..
Or when you sell the intellectual rights and this intellectual property rights are not accounted as your capital, they are accounted as your owner- boss- landlord- capital, for whom you work for some fake wage..
The law codes all , and you, if lucky, being a citizen, vote for the coders once in a while, but the Cains keep you in dark from the real code. Not to mention the Abels.
PS: there are no Abel, Cain, Oligarchy and almost all conclusions written here in Katharina Pistor book. It concerns only the coding of capital through law. Worth reading…
