Stone ships at the foot of Anundshög (Anund’s Mound) in Sweden. This was a Thing place and dates to between 210 – 540 CE. The central stone alongside the mound (p.o.v. of the photo) holds the runic inscription: “Folkvid raised all of these stones after his son Heden, Anund’s brother. Vred carved the runes.”

Right before the election there were extensive studies released about voters’ attitudes and intent. It turns out that only about 10 percent of them were voting for what the studies’ designers called “agenda, policies, programs, and ideas.” Te rest were voting for imagery.

THE KING IN YELLOW (HASTUR)“At the farther end was a high stone dais reached by five steps; and there on a golden throne sat a lumpish figure robed in yellow silk figured with red and having a yellow silken
mask over its face.To this being the slant-eyed man made certain signs with his hands, and the lurker in the dark replied by raising a disgustingly carven flute of ivory in silk-covered paws and blowing certain loathsome sounds from beneath its flowing yellow mask.”“Then the figured silk slipped a trifle from one of the greyish-white paws, and Carter knew what the noisome high-priest was. And in that hideous second stark fear drove him to something his reason would never have dared to attempt, for in all his shaken consciousness there was room only for one frantic will to escape from what squatted on that golden throne.”

‘You are speaking of the King in Yellow’, I groaned with a shudder.
‘He is a king whom Emperors have served.’”
Robert W. Chambers, The Repairer Of ReputationsThen I sank into the depths, and I heard the King in Yellow whispering to my soul: ‘It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God!”’
Robert W. Chambers, In the Court Of the DragonYessss. HE WEARS NO MASK.

The corporations that do this are huge totalitarian institutions, and they aren’t governed by market principles—in fact, they promote severe market distortions. For example, a US corporation that has an outlet in Puerto Rico may decide to take its profits in Puerto Rico, because of tax rebates. It shifts its prices around, using what’s called “transfer pricing,” so it doesn’t seem to be making a profit here.
