In Italian PESCI means “fishes”. “Sette Pesci” (seven fishes) is a Southern-Italian dish representing the "Seven virtues". In geopolitical terms "P.E.S.C.I." comes to represent the opposite, a global disarray of seven plagues. So, what/who is PESCI ?
The geopolitical aftermath of the Berlin-Wall fall - an event that marked the end of the Cold-War era - meant a series of transformations in the international political society. One of these was the emerging of a Political-military Establishment Serving Corporate-business Interests, and of a trans-national character. This has to do with EU-democracies, for instance Sweden, in which the government's elite systematic indulges in decision-making favouring the interest of such supra-national constellation (PESCI), instead of preserving the national interests of the country and the integrity of its citizens.
Prominent right-wing leaders in different countries, now openly serve the interest of a corporate system which many of them also form part, as shareholders or board members. Traditional "class-struggle" is nowadays negated in most of world societies, after the formerly ideological confrontation between Capitalism and Socialism in the frame of the Cold War came to and end, abruptly. PESCI has also introduced fundamental changes in the culture and academic life of its country-members, not seen in the old "Imperialism" era. A most remarkable feature is that, globally considered, this "over-the-national-borders" identification of interest, class-ideology, and personal economic involvement of those in power, has NOT conveyed a reciprocal internationalism among organizations at grass-root level. These peoples are instead manipulated to pseudo-chauvinist positions, which avert popular control over their governments - de facto collaborating with a "foreign constellation of power". Main implementations in this collaboration taking place in Intelligence gathering, joint military operations, financing and banking, and protective legislation towards PESCI's economic interests.
The evolution of the environmental movement, and the replace of "class-struggle" for "Religion Faith" alleged international conflicts, or "gender confrontation" instead of gender-equality -- are issues also to be analyzed later in the Pesci Theses.
These world developments - and the vacuum left by traditional oppositional left-parties or "anti-imperialist" movements, suggest the need of uniting Libertarian, Let-Liberal, and Pirate-Party movements, and followers of the emergent Whistleblowing movement inspired by WikiLeaks, into a broad political Human-Rights front. This political effort should aim to enhance political awareness in a world society alienated by government-controlled social-networking and subliminal-implanted consumerism.

Thesis I. The Berlin Wall geopolitical aftermath & end of Cold-War: PESCI as mutation of US Expansionism
The Berlin Wall geopolitical aftermath, which marked the end of the Cold-War era, gave a series of transformations in the international political society. One of these was the emerging of a trans-national Politic-military Establishment Serving INTERNATIONAL Corporate financial & business Interests. Prominent right-wing leaders in different countries to serve the interest of a corporate system they form part of. Traditional "class-struggle" nowadays negated in most of world societies, as the formerly ideological confrontation between Capitalism and Socialism in the frame of the Cold War.
What is P.E.S.C.I.?
In Italian PESCI means “fishes”. “Sette Pesci” (7 fishes) is a Southern-Italian dish representing the "Seven virtues"
In geopolitical terms “P.E.S.C.I.” represent the opposite, like a global disarray of seven plagues. So, what/who is PESCI?
“P.E.S.C.I.” stands for “Political-military Establishment Serving Corporative Interests”. Further, PESCI is a global organization; not only residing in the US.
“Establishment” to include MSM (Main stream media) and military as well as civilian authorities, independent if “democratic” elected, co-opted or designated in a PESCI-designated coup
x
Thesis II. On the differences between PESCI and the traditional US Politic-Economic Expansionism
There are central differences between the concepts PESCI and so called ”US Imperialism”:
1) PESCI has a “multinational” leadership; ”national” interests ceased to exist
I.e., facts indicate that C Bildt’s ”Swedish” foreign policy (determining Sweden’s military strategy as well as Intelligence and military operations) is NOT inspired or implemented in the national interests of Sweden. Those foreign policy decisions made by Minister Bildt follows paramount PESCI interests, NATO’s interest.
Another example is the multinational cooperation in the production of Swedish weaponry (the ”Swedish” JAS attack plane, in fact a Swedish/UK/US joint venture).
2) a FINANCIAL PART of the corporative system
Another difference between “US Imperialism” and “PESCI” is that leaderships in the governments in the PESCI constellation are at the same time a FINANCIAL PART of the corporative system (the ultimate PESCI decision-power) that their local governments serve.
3) International Top-level coordination forums
Unlike traditional “US Imperialism”, with base in Washington (and Wall Street), where satellite local governments were kind of underpaid marionettes, PESCI has top-level coordination forums. See for instance the half-known Bildergerg Group.
4) The lame democratic and Union's opposition
Another difference. Under the current PESCI era, traditional “left” or “trade union” opposition has been rather lame, unlike it was during the anti-Imperialist movement of the 60-80’s.
We missed PESCI developing in front of our nose, while rather indulged on “global warming” discussions instead of focusing in the particularities of this financial-politic-military globalization.
Would this explain that several ”environmental” parties in EU turn showing (environment aside) they in fact support PESCI-pro legislations?
x
Thesis III. An emerging libertarian movement
So, would this anew emerging LIBERTARIAN fighting spirit evoked for instance by the deeds of WkiLekas, Assange, Manning and Snowden, rescue democracy?
Von Clausewitz said ”war is the continuation of politics”. But we have seen all across recent years that wars were rather the continuation of greed (PESCI’s greed).
Von Clausewitz true aphorism properly reads ”War is the continuation of Politik by Other means” (military). However, I would say a political movement can win a war, without an army, without military means.
The question being, is whistleblowing a movement? And if so, is it a political one?
In ”Historical meaning of WikiLeaks” I postulated that WL social support has been converted in political force.
A crucial political question is now what the whistleblowing movement would be aiming to achieve STRATEGICALLY:
Do they aim only to expose the system's wrong doings? Or criticize the system's political or economic fundaments? Or further, to try Changing the system?
Why would I talk on “whistleblowing movement” rather than on ”persons-whistleblowers”? For obviously a potential for effectual political change in a society could be (eventually) achieved insofar Whistleblower-episodes become a political movement. And with a social support, strong and active enough to be converted into a political force. Only after this political force is identified (as singular for the movement), can a political organization be established.

Thesis IV. On the Origins of State-Feminism in Sweden. Drastic changes in cultural and academics norms, and the re-establishment of pseudo-science in the PESCI era
[Excerpts from a previous analysis n Professorsblogg]
x
When the Cold War came to an end, the subsequent disintegration of the socialist bloc echoed heavily in Sweden. International balance was lost. The ruling politicians were tipped by gravity towards the only geopolitical end point that survived.
x
The Americanization of Swedish political culture developed fast and uncontested. Government became business. Social welfare became private monopoly. Millions of Swedes were suddenly detached from their secure social system, and the traditional left capitulated to the enemy without combat. It was then that their political struggle was replaced by the more comfortable (and profitable) gender confrontation. To hide their lack of ideological conviction, or combat spirit, the opportunistic left sold their lie to the public: Women, together with men, are not suffering because of a greedy system of profit – women are suffering because of men. And since the system is no longer the enemy, the system very much becomes the ally. Radical feminism became state feminism.
x
This was the beginning of the cultural and intellectual impoverishment of modern Sweden. Cultural programmes were replaced by alienating superficial pseudo-entertainment. Scientific empirical methods at Swedish universities were replaced by “qualitative research”, an easy, cheap, and “pseudo” method which consists of drawing “scientific” conclusions from interviews with a dozen people, women for the most part, who share their “impressions” to the interviewing “researcher”, a woman for the most part. True scientific research in Sweden dropped off ominously, as did the scholarly requirements placed on new researchers.[4]
x
Sound, medically verifiable clinical diagnoses were replaced by pseudo-clinical constructs such as “stress-induced” frozen pelvis and “burnout” (“utbrändhet”) [5]. The latter served to give long-term “sick leaves” to hundreds of thousands of individuals, for the most part women. Sweden became the European nation with the highest incidence of mentally ill people, this according to international statistics for people on sick leave for “mental” diagnoses, to which psychological problems and the fashionable mental diagnosis “work stress” belonged. The “utbrändhet” diagnosis, later known as “utmattningssyndrom” reached an epidemic-like distribution only in Sweden, all which comfirmed its cultural character [6].
Some years later, and as I predicted in “The emperor’s burn-out clothes” [7] it was demonstrated that a) while stress levels in society (and at the workplaces in particular) have not diminished at all in Sweden at the end of the 90′s (the stress level in society had rather increased, b) sick leaves “caused” by work-related psychological stress (“burnout”) , especially among Swedish women, have notably decreased and finally practically disappeared. Ergo, The purported causal correlation between “increasing work and societal stress” and “burnout (utbrändhet)” was demonstrated to be as fake as the fashion diagnoses [5] invented by researchers associated at that time to the Karolinska Institute.
x
The real winners became the Pharmaceutical industry [8] and the private “therapy clinics” often owned by the above researches themselves. However, in the scandalous promotion of such “burnout” diagnoses it was involved official Sweden, the social democratic government, feminists spoke persons, feminist journalists at the mainstream media [9], the feminist-controlled Swedish Psychiatric Association [10], and even the National Board of Health (Socialstyrelsen) [11]. All these brought shame to the country and contributed collectively to shake Sweden’s credibility in the international community.
x
The the new “qualitative research”
x
The forced retreat of the scientific method from its position of dominance in Swedish academia and research, and the productivity vacuum left behind, was rapidly filled by the new “qualitative research” method and the re-emergence of psychoanalytical categories. None of these intellectual approaches would have been possible without the re-emerging, religion-inspired (religion-pretexted) Western confrontation with the Arab world.
x
The imperialistic seizing of oil resources in the Middle East, pretexted by the Kuwait and Iraq wars of the Bush dynasty, occasioned a political and at times tiny military response from sectors of the Arab societies made known to us – by edict of our governments – as the Islamic threat, a religious and belligerent fundamentalist movement aimed at the destruction of Western cultural institutions and their replacement with Islamic rule. Cultural racism made its entrance into Swedish politics.[12]
x
The new presence of religion as a factor in this cultural confrontation (“our religion contra their religion”) in turn made possible the renaissance of vintage non-scientific ideologies such as Freudianism. But while religious thought is conversation between people and their god, Freudianism is conversation between people and their navels. Freudians and religious activists share the idolatry of the subjective – “idealism” contra “materialism” as they vulgarly put it. Nevertheless, the scientific method is alien to both.
x
The pretentiously obsessive treatment of female sexuality in Sweden, the pretentiously exhibitionist need to vent intimate details of one’s life such as in the ‘talk about it’ campaign, the pretentious hero treatment of women who accuse men of rape in normal consensual circumstances, and so forth: this indicates either deviancy or despair. It’s the isolated individual without the support of a normal family, a normal friend, a normal system. It is the absence of the old feeling of “security” that neocapitalist Sweden did not replace.
x
During most of the last century, Swedish men and woman were educated in the solidarity of their state institutions, from where they found solutions to their societal problems. The Swedish system, not quite socialist, not quite capitalist, was a balance between West and East. When the Berlin Wall was torn down, so was the social welfare system in Sweden. Individuals became atoms without a social orbit and their reference point became themselves. Egoism had been reborn.
x
For the radical and state feminists, the choice of the “qualitative” approach ornamented by Freudian categories was not accidental but essential: the qualitative method was their one and only epistemological option. It is only with the use of an imposed “take it or leave it” faith-based, non-empirical method that feminism could make their master thesis of a “patriarchal” cause of all the misfortunes of women in society, starting with those of their own, prevail. No need to bother with empirical, rational replication – feelings (for the most part bitterness) are sufficient. Translated for the medical debate:
x
“In order to qualify as having a disease, it is not relevant whether symptoms are medically verifiable. What is relevant is the “experience”, what patients feel innermost, their own subjective notion of being ill”.[13]
x
Swedish women ceased to be individuals in the context of social equality. They were now “victims” instead. And they should be compensated for centuries, for thousands of years, of ferocious intellectual rape, structural violence and economic abuse by all men. For radical "feminism", gender equality ceased to be an option.

4. As an illustration: instead of the seven scientific articles required in old times by the Karolinska Institutet to obtain a doctorate degree, now it is enough with only one published article, one accepted, and two still in draft!
5. "Frozen pelvis" is instead a physical condition caused by infection or carcinoma. The Swedish version of "burnout" is called "utbrändhet or "utmattningssyndrom" (see Ref 6 below). The first public exposure of the pseudo-diagnose "utbrändhet" is found in my DN-debatt article "Utbrändhet, mest en modetrend", Dagens Nyheter, Stockholm, 2000-10-20
