ABSTRACT
How does the process of laundering form fronts to obscure its process in growing capital and the State? What are the origins of those fronts? Dating back to the colonial era of counterinsurgency, we chronicle how the administrative apparatus of the colonial era formed fronts to manage conquered populations. As time evolved, White capital granted more integration into these fronts to continue the management of oppressed populations. To do this, it required the assassination of anti-colonial leaders and the crushing of alternative ideologies such as communism to maintain hegemony. Here, we document “the pledge”, “the turn”, and “prestige” in the magic of imperialism from countries in what we now call Europe to the passing of the baton by various States in what we call the United States. Neo-colonialism becomes the fundamental front.
