Ten Commandments of Capitalism Given to Goldman CEO

"Profit, as it is defined in our current monetary system, promotes war, famine, violence, and ultimately the destruction of the planet."  DonJon.


Chelsea Hotel (MP) - Goldman Sachs O'Money has released a sacred text for the most widely accepted 'faith' on Earth, Capitalism.  Goldman CEO and Grand Master of the Multiverse, Lloyd "BlankCheck" Blankfein claims that the "One True God, Profit," summoned him to the roof of Goldman Sachs Tower in Jersey City, New Jersey and delivered the Ten Commandments of Capitalism.

"It was a grueling banishment, over 40 minutes 40 seconds without my Blackberry or iPhone," states Blankfein, "In a loud and demanding voice, Profit, translated the Ten Commandments of Capitalism, which, of course, I asked him to copy me on my Blackberry."  

When Blankfein returned to the Goldman trading floor he found the traders celebrating Earth Day and taking long positions on Al Gore's green stock picks.  In anger, Blankfein smashed his Blackberry with the Ten Commandments of Capitalism.  Fortunately, his messages are forwarded to his iPhone and he was able to deliver the Commandments to the faithful Plutocrats and their minions.  They are translated as follows:

1 I am the Lord your God Profit, who brought you out of the land of the middle class, and the working stiff, and out of the house of wage slavery;


2 Do not have any other economic gods before me, especially workplace democracy, cooperation, wealth sharing, and collective bargaining.


3 You shall make for yourself idols, in the form of a private jet in the heaven above, a Manse on earth as shrine to your material achievement, and a floating Manse in the water to make the unwashed masses really pissed off.  You shall bow down to them and worship them; for I the Lord your God Profit, am a jealous God and need attention badly.  You will worship your material wealth as the embodiment of thy Lord your God Profit, or I will punish the children for the iniquity of parents, requiring a limited access trust to the third and the fourth generation.   But showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation by banishing estate taxes of those who love me.  


4 Honor your father and mother if they have left you a sufficient estate, that you maintain it and keep it from the grubby hands of the unwashed masses that seek to redistribute the wealth given by thy Lord your God Profit. 


5 You shall not make wrongful use of the name of thy Lord your God Profit, for the Lord will not acquit anyone who misuses his name for a second mortgage or as a credit guarantor.  It is for the unwashed masses to pay interest and late fees to thy Lord your God Profit's inheritful children as penance for their poverty.


7 Remember the Sabbath days and keep them holy.  Monday through Friday and occasional Saturdays thy Lord  your God, Profit, demand those seeking economic ascendancy to pay homage.  For six days you, the Children of Profit, shall labour and do all your work and the rest of the year you will take leisure while the unwashed masses does your profitable work.  But the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God Profit; you shall not do any work—nor your son or your daughter, your mistress, or your investment portfolio, with exception of the alien residents, who shall labor in your gardens without notice to immigration authorities.  For in six days the thy Lord your God Profit, made mammon and the free markets, and your investment portfolio, and the Federal Reserve, and even Allen Greenspan, and all their monetary value, but rested on the seventh day; therefore thy Lord your God Profit, was burned out from such hard actuarial work by the Sabbath day and consecrated it.


8 You shall not murder, commit adultery, or steal without a high priced attorney to protect thy Lord your God Profit's moneyed children from the vengeful laws of the the unwashed masses.


9 You shall bear false witness against your neighbor to take their wealth for thy Lord your God Profit.  You shall purchase their politicians, take their tax payments, their homes, pollute their water and air, and have them suffer all the external inequities of your pursuit of alms to thy Lord your God Profit.


10 You shall not covet your neighbor’s house without a real estate agent of thy Lord your God Profit; you shall not covet your neighbor’s trophy wife without a domestic attorney of thy Lord your God Profit, but the male or female executive assistant is cool, but you should really stay away from the ox and donkey, they don't have much value these days anyway.


In a memo to their clients titled, Do Unto Goldman as Goldman Would Have You Do Unto Them, they claim that Blankfein's assent to the Moses of Capitalism seals their position as the unquestioned Masters of the Multiverse.  "Finally, as it should be, the moneychangers are seen as doing God's work," claims Blankfein, "Jesus was just a confused young man that meant well."  

Moloch the Plutocracy previously reported that Goldman had started foreclosure proceedings on the Greek Pantheon of Gods and has planning to convert it to a Pantheon of Financial Masters of the Multiverse. 


Asked for comment, DonJonVonavich, Eccentric Publisher of Moloch the Plutocracy, offered, "It is time the People study the economic system that has been taken as gospel for so long.  Profit, as it is defined in our current monetary system, promotes war, famine, violence, and ultimately the destruction of the planet.  Human Being will not progress until it has been replaced by a system that values those things that promote sustainability, equality, and progress."

"lesser fools would have been down for the count,"  DonJon.


Chelsea Hotel (MP) - DonJonVonavich, Eccentric Publisher of Moloch the Plutocracy, named the Lord of MisRule for 2010 at his annual Masquerade of Fools party.  This years MisRuler, Joshua Granado, snagged the title with his feats of regurgitory prowess, first tossing his beans in the fools display case then directing his next spew in a guests truck bed.    

Briefly passing out, he returned for a session on the guitar in DonJon's caravan.  "His stamina is to be admired," claims DonJon, "lesser fools would have been down for the count."  The new Lord of MisRule will be responsible for carrying the fools message world wide, "fool me once, shame on you... fool me... brawwwwwwwwwww... oh, fuck, not again, brawwwwww," stated the Lord.
