Snobbery and decay

I found this channel on youtube and thought I would leave it here in case anyone else may find it interesting as I did.

It certainly made me go Hmmmmmm.

The downfall of Olivetti

The company was way too pro worker at the time and a threat to the typical corporate business model.

The documentary mentions an assassination of the Chinese computer scientist that took over the company, possibly CIA involvement. General Electric then bought the business after it collapsed?

Abandoned Steelworks

Well the CIA does the bidding of transnational corporate business. Eliminating competition to have only a select few technology companies to foster easy control comes to mind. Italy is also birthplace of the Club of Rome and all that their goals entail. There was mention of them selling products to the Soviet Union so the Chinese connection makes business sense. The company was socialist in regards to employment benefits. Italy was supposedly quite friendly to communism. The Black Nobility considers Italy their outpost.

Thank you, I will do some more reading on the Black Nobility. So many books of Dr Farrell’s I have yet to read, I’m sure he covers this in FVOV.

i really enjoy a couple of people on twitter who go in hard for meltology* - starting to look at how abandoned places age.

*fun stuff. red bricks peeking out of places they shouldn’t. inexplicable “repair” patches. building in/under/around solid rocks in stupid places. “natural” arches and grottos and caves. how fast an abandoned subway space can start to look like a “cave” or a “mine.” clearly melted buildings. rocks and mountains called “castles.”
requires a fun - geology as taught is silliness. stratification and time measurements are self-reinforcing. how many years of river running did it take to carve the grand canyon. are you sure? historical time badly, intentionally mis-told.
