"Kroning" - Management Jargon Bullshit

Management Jargon Bullshit. Wastes huge amounts of people's time. Initially came from US defense industry, late 1960s, more specifically US Air Force, always regarded as superior intellectuals by the US Army [am I right Major?]. Both often seemed equally dismissive of US Navy boatpeople, but at bottom were always US Army "grunts" and especially USACE (Engineers).


Some bright spark thought it GREAT to adapt phraseology about fixing planes on time to general business matters. This "funky" Mission Critical pap then got badly metamophosed by another genus of bullshitters in California (mostly) by people from outfits like Pacific Bell which is where Scott Adams of Dilbert fame got many ideas. He worked there for 17 years I think. There was then further HONING of crapola through the 1980s by hordes of MBA teachers eager to teach people how to speak about making cash on the back of the Hayek/Freidman made up Chicago School of Economic Theory and Plain Lies  - shit.

Then it all became horribly hybridised and twisted by the 1980s-1990s "Business Administration" institutions and the result was the need to clean it all up if you can and vast wafts of convoluted deliberately cloudy language, designed to sound smart, but actually masking a vague sort of louche ignorance.

These the main pair of sources for it all in my opinion: Charles Krone and the GE "Blue Book". Deep roots. Pretentious. Horrible consequences.

  There is a large segment of British society, both home and abroad, who have not been able to gain from the terrible experiences of parents and grandparents. Through no fault of their own other than choices about how and what to learn, they never heard from an early age about any invasion of their country, never read about the desecration of their family homes and so were able to learn from that. It is no accident that Japan and Germany are two very stable successful countries now whereas Britain and America are going through various political and social turmoils and attempts at shifts to authoritarianism. In parts of mainly non-Celtic Britain, mostly within certain older parts of the moderately affluent Middle Classes, a sub-group of that deeply privileged sector received, then stoked a probably detrimental surfeit of jingoistic and ersatz "Patriotism" through much of a lifetime. It seems at times to be the very breathed air itself for those Johnnies. The results may

Quantitatively Eased Manipulated Digital Cashflows [QEMDC] Trickling Upwards in a Gush

    Quantitatively Eased Manipulated Digital Cashflows [QEMDC] trickling upwards in a gush. A neatly manufactured cash-teat sucked at by old nasties Drexel Burnham Lambert [DBL], Blackstone, Stephen Schwarzman, Apollo, Leon Black, Barclays, Deutsche Bank, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts [KKR], cold dead philanthropist and jet-setter Jeff Epstein and a few other Movers and Killers all mixed into that particular soup. Predatory vulture disaster capitalism at it's very best. Potentially coming to your nearest health insurers, asset strippers and property inflaters in US, AUS and UK soon, so make sure you are well prepared [$$$$] folks. More opportunities for supporters to screech "Conspiracy Hypothesis" at every opportunity when finance related issues nudge against the fundamental orientation of their prevailing grain from a position of great knowledge. Apollo, run until recently by the nasty Leon Black before the stink of his Epstein ties became overpowering and he resigned,

New Names Required for GOP and Tories

    Lest anyone be unsure as to the still remaining intentions of many the men remaining within what is still called the Republican Party in America, as well as their handmaidens in what is still called the Conservative Party in England. They were tolerated and often silently agreed with by many in those groups/parties over the years and decades.   Ten years ago they started to steadily accelerate the money, hoping the time was right. Nazism in Deutschland was essentially a gangster regime, deeply envious and resentful towards The British Empire, wanting it's share of the spoils. This is precisely what happened in that decade we all learned about and thought could not occur again. Do not believe it. No-one was prepared to stop it then and many now cry "Wolf" now. No-one used the phrase "Conspiracy Theories" in 1934. It is very simple. One is either with it or against it. There is no flexible "middle ground". That's called "accomm
