Elizabeth Warren’s ‘Accountable Capitalism’ Is More Proof Of ‘Progressive’ Feudalism
Elizabeth Warren's Accountable Capitalism Act shows that her 'progressive' agenda is to resurrect an essentially feudal approach to property rights.
By Robert Tracinski
By Robert Tracinski
Sen. Elizabeth Warren has a good chance to be the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate in 2020. (I would say it’s definitely not going to be Andrew “America Was Not That Great” Cu-omo, but I thought a guy whose pastor screamed “God da-m America” would never make it, either.) Warren would have all the warmth, charm, and heartland appeal of Hillary Clinton, but be farther to the left.
To kick off her campaign as the “progressive” standard-bearer for 2020, Warren has proposed the Accountable Capitalism Act. As legislation, it is certain to go nowhere. But it is meant as a statement of where she stands and the direction she wants to take her party. Here is what it would do.
Under the legislation, corporations with more than $1bn in annual revenue would be required to obtain a corporate charter from the federal government—and the document would mandate that companies not just consider the financial interests of shareholders. Instead, businesses would have to consider all major corporate stakeholders—which could include workers, customers, and the cities and towns where those corporations operate. Anyone who owns shares in the company could sue if they believed corporate directors were not meeting their obligations.
Employees at large corporations would be able to elect at least 40% of the board of directors. An estimated 3,500 public US companies and hundreds of other private companies would be covered by the mandates.
This is a “progressive” proposal, but its adherents keep emphasizing that it’s just a return to the past. Warren describes it as “a new bill to help return to the time when American companies and workers did well together,” while a group of academics in support of Warren declares that this will “realign our regime of incorporation with its original purposes.” In a way, they’re right. This is a return to the past, because it resurrects an essentially feudal approach to property rights.
Corporations were originally a grant of special privileges given by a monarch to reward his loyal supporters. They grew out of the old feudal system of prerogatives and privileges. At the center of that system was the feudal concept of property in which no one but the king owns anything free and clear. All property was held in “tenancy” from the crown, in exchange for services rendered back to the king.
That relationship was then propagated downward. The highest level of aristocrats held their land as tenants of the king, a lower level held their land as tenants of the lords, and so on. Various forms of European common law built up extensive rules about the obligations owed back and forth between the crown, the lords, and their vassals.
This is the context in which corporations were first conceived as just another form of privilege the crown offered to its supporters. In America, and to some extent in Britain and Europe, as the legal remnants of feudalism were being cleaned up, the basis for the law of corporations was changed from one of privileges to one of rights. A corporate charter wasn’t a special favor the sovereign granted in exchange for special services. It was a recognition of free-and-clear ownership of the corporation by its shareholders.
This is what regressive “progressives” have always hated, the concept of free-and-clear ownership, and they have been struggling all along to go back to a neo-feudal system in which all economic activity takes place only with the permission of the sovereign. They merely give it a gloss of democracy by claiming that the sovereign, this time, will be “the people.”
You can get a sense of this neo-feudal approach in the way that corporations, in this proposal, would be attached to the land like medieval serfs, unable to move or change without the permission of the cities and towns where they operate. While in theory this is a way of making corporations answer to “the people” in the same way that feudal barons answered to the king, notice that in practice this proposal gives power to bureaucrats and ambitious, self-promoting politicians.
The proposal would create a new Office of United States Corporations within the Department of Commerce, which would be responsible for granting the charters—and which could revoke a charter if a state attorney general requests it, and the office finds the firm has a history of egregious and repeated illegal conduct and has failed take action to correct it.
The state attorneys general are the new feudal barons imagined under this system, empowered to destroy any corporation that does not render them sufficient service. All it takes is a word to the crown, or in this case, the Commerce Department. The record of state attorneys general, especially the already elastic powers of the office of the New York attorney general, should give us an idea of the vast scope for corruption and abuse of power.
Before he became Client #9—the client, that is, of an illegal business he was supposed to be in charge of prosecuting—Eliot Spitzer was notorious for squeezing New York corporations to make “donations” to causes he chose. In effect, he used them as his personal slush fund, and you can bet this also spilled over into using them as an unwilling campaign fund.
That points us to the wider potential for abuse. Warren and the state attorneys general have a history of, for example, issuing subpoenas to corporations and threatening to prosecute them for fraud for supporting any person or organization skeptical of global warming. Unlimited feudal power over corporations turns out also to be an instrument of censorship.
If none of this fazes you, then consider that Warren is conspiring to give this power to Donald Trump. After all, she is introducing this bill now, during his term of office, and who do you think is ultimately in charge of the Commerce Department?
Trump has already threatened to use government power to punish corporations that move their operations overseas without his permission. Imagine what he could do if he had the power to revoke any corporation’s charter. Perhaps he would direct the Commerce Department to examine the charters of certain corporations he believes have been peddling “fake news.” But the left is so besotted with the lust for power that they cannot think ahead to the prospect that somebody they don’t like might use it.
The left used to like to masquerade as “liberals” while campaigning to curtail our liberty. Now they like to call themselves “progressives” while they try to reverse mankind’s progress from a system of arbitrary power to one of individual rights. Nothing could better sum up this regressive progressivism than the fact that they are now scheming to give Trump the powers of an absolute monarch.

The Democrat Party’s 12-Step Plan to Destroy America
Cardinal Wuerl censured priest who denied lesbian Communion, but let predatory clergy remain active
WASHINGTON, D.C., August 16, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – As Bishop of Pittsburgh, Donald Wuerl allowed pedophile priests to continue in active ministry, according to an explosive grand jury report released by the Pennsylvania Attorney General on Tuesday.
This and more was revealed in the damning report on decades of sex abuse and how it was covered up in six Pennsylvania dioceses. One-third of the priests named as accused of sex abuse in the report came from the Diocese of Pittsburgh.
As Archbishop of Washington, though, now-Cardinal Wuerl did not afford the same mercy to a priest who upheld the Catholic faith and suffered a media firestorm for it.
In a much-publicized 2012 case, Father Marcel Guarnizo discreetly refused to give Holy Communion – which according to the Catholic Church is the literal body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ, only to be consumed by practicing Catholics in a state of grace – to an active lesbian at her mother’s funeral. Fr. Guarnizo, a priest of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Moscow, Russia, was officiating the funeral at St. John Naumann parish in Gaithersburg, Maryland, located within the Archdiocese of Washington.
“I understand and agree it is the policy of the archdiocese to assume good faith when a Catholic presents himself for communion; like most priests I am not at all eager to withhold communion,” Fr. Guarnizo wrote of the incident. However, the woman he denied Communion, Barbara Johnson, made a point of introducing herself as a lesbian to him before Mass, entering the sacristy and introducing another woman as her “lover.”
“If a Quaker, a Lutheran or a Buddhist, desiring Communion had introduced himself as such, before Mass, a priest would be obligated to withhold communion. If someone had shown up in my sacristy drunk, or high on drugs, no Communion would have been possible either. If a Catholic, divorced and remarried (without an annulment) would make that known in my sacristy, they too according to Catholic doctrine, would be impeded from receiving Communion,” he explained.
Fr. Guarnizo quietly refused to give Johnson the Eucharist. She “promptly chose to go to the (lay) Eucharistic minister (nearby) to receive communion and did so,” Fr. Guarnizo explained.
Johnson then made a large stink about the event in the secular press, and Fr. Guarnizo was promptly raked over the coals and the Archdiocese of Washington censured him, revoking his permission to operate as a priest in Wuerl’s ecclesial territory.
Fr. Guarnizo was punished for “engaging in intimidating behavior toward parish staff and others that is incompatible with proper priestly ministry,” Wuerl’s auxiliary, Bishop Barry Knestout, wrote in a letter at the time.
The Archdiocese of Washington released a statement asserting “that the prime obligation to determine one’s preparedness to receive Communion falls to the persons who are presenting themselves for Communion. In extreme cases where someone has been formally excommunicated or is trying to use the Eucharist to make a political statement it is appropriate to consider denying Communion.”
“In the days after the funeral Mass, the archdiocese issued an apology to Johnson and sent a letter stating that Guarnizo’s refusal of Communion to her was against the policy of Archbishop Donald Wuerl, who has said it is not the right time or place for a spiritual standoff,” the Washington Post reported at the time.
Treatment of faithful Fr. Guarnizo vs. treatment of predator Fr. Zirwas
In sharp contrast to the Archdiocese of Washington’s swift removal of Fr. Guarnizo for following Catholic teaching on Holy Communion, the grand jury report indicates that the Diocese of Pittsburgh under Wuerl didn’t immediately take priests accused of child sex abuse out of public ministry, thus allowing them continued access to children.
One Pittsburgh priest, Father George Zirwas, was reported to the diocese as having molested underage boys. Some of these complaints were filed when Wuerl was bishop.
“The Grand Jury learned that the Diocese was aware of complaints against Zirwas for sexually abusing children as early as 1987,” the report says. “Additional complaints were received between 1987 and 1995. However, Zirwas continued to function as a priest during this period and was reassigned to several parishes.”
Wuerl and diocesan bureaucrats knew about complaints against Fr. Zirwas but let him continue in active ministry, putting more boys at risk for homosexual molestation.
The grand jury ultimately found that Zirwas had been involved in manufacturing child porn based on religious imagery on Church property. He was part of a group of priests who “used whips, violence and sadism in raping their victims.”
The diocese had Zirwas “evaluated” by a hospital in 1988, but he “continued in ministry” after being released, the grand jurors found.
After bouncing to a few other Pittsburgh parishes, Fr. Zirwas met in July 1995 with then-Father David Zubik – who later succeeded Wuerl as bishop of Pittsburgh – and “threatened to pursue legal action against other diocesan personnel for ‘raising the consciousness of some of the people at St. Joseph Parish concerning his relationship to the public scandals which surfaced in 1988.’”
“Within days, Zirwas was returned to ministry by Bishop Donald Wuerl,” the grand jury learned.
Zubik was already aware of complaints against Zirwas, having been told about molestation he committed during a meeting with a victim and two other priests in June 1991.
In November 1995, the diocese received yet another complaint about Zirwas, and he was placed on a leave of absence for “personal reasons.”
He remained on that leave of absence for the rest of his life. His involvement with the diocese wasn’t over, though.
Although he moved to Florida (and later Cuba, where he was murdered, according to Church Militant, by a gay prostitute), in 1996, Zirwas told the Diocese of Pittsburgh he knew about illegal sexual activity being committed by other Pittsburgh priests. In exchange for this information, he wanted the money he was receiving from the Church to be increased.
Wuerl responded saying Zirwas was to either send him the names of these predator priests, or state the exact opposite of what he had just claimed – that he knew nothing about pedophile priests in the diocese.
Zirwas opted to recant his claim, and the amount of money he received monthly increased.
The grand jury report explains:
“Zirwas informed the Diocese (in 1996) that he had knowledge of other Pittsburgh Diocese priests' involvement in illegal sexual activity. In exchange for this information, he demanded that his sustenance payments be increased.
In response to this request, Wuerl instructed him to document in writing the names of the priests involved, or, state that he had no knowledge of what he had previously claimed. Wuerl advised that this action had to be undertaken before Zirwas could receive any additional assistance. After Zirwas disavowed any knowledge of priest involvement in illegal sexual activity in a letter to the Diocese, he was granted an additional financial stipend and his sustenance payments were continued.”
Fr. Ernst Paone
Another Pittsburgh priest who appears to have been treated with more leniency than Fr. Guarnizo is Fr. Ernest Paone. Before Wuerl took office in Pittsburgh, the diocese had been warned about Paone’s predatory behavior and still recommended other dioceses allow him to function as a priest in good standing.
The grand jury report says that then, while Wuerl was running the diocese:
In March, 1992, Paone took a leave of absence from the Archdiocese of Los Angeles for "reasons of health." On July 25, 1994, the Diocese of Pittsburgh received another complaint of child sexual abuse committed by Paone in the 1960s. The victim's sister came forward and reported that after becoming aware of the abuse, her father "went to the rectory with a shotgun and told Father Paone that he better leave town." The Diocese sent him to St. Luke's Institute for an evaluation.
In a confidential letter sent to St. Luke's, the Diocese acknowledged that Paone had been teaching seventh and eighth grade students in the Diocese of San Diego for 19 years. Further, in another confidential memorandum sent from Zubik to Wuerl, Paone' s various assignments and sexual abuse complaints were again listed in detail. The Grand Jury noted that this process showed no concern for public safety or the victims of child sexual abuse. The handling of these matters was commonplace. In spite of the complaint, Paone continued in active ministry following his brief evaluation at a church-based treatment facility.
The Grand Jury discovered that this 1994 complaint resulted in the generation of Diocesan records that noted an even greater extent of knowledge regarding Paone' s sexual conduct with children. An August 5, 1994 confidential memorandum sent from Zubik to Wuerl advised him of this new complaint against Paone and that due to this complaint, his file was reviewed "with great care." Among other things, Zubik advised Wuerl that questions about Paone's emotional and physical health were raised as early as the 1950s, while he was still in seminary. Zubik further advised of Paone's various assignments and correspondence over the years, before also describing the multiple records documenting the Diocese's knowledge of his sexual abuse of children as early as 1962. Zubik then noted that with respect to these latter records, "You should know that these last three pieces of correspondence were placed in the confidential files."
On July 29, 1996, Wuerl was informed by the Chancellor of the Diocese of San Diego that Paone had continued with his ministry, but, "acting on the advice of our insurance carrier," he was requesting that Wuerl complete the enclosed affidavit, which stated, among other things, that Paone has "not had any problems involving sexual abuse, any history of sexual involvement with minors or others, or any other inappropriate sexual behavior.”
On August 12, 1996, Wuerl directed Father Kozar, Secretary for Clergy and Religious, to respond to the request. Kozar then sent a confidential letter to the Diocese of San Diego and advised, among other things, that:
Father Paone has not had an assignment in this diocese for over 30 years. Thus, the only appropriate information about him has already been communicated to you in a letter from Father Robert Guay, Secretary for Clergy and Religious, dated January 30, 1996.
Paone again continued in ministry.
Paone was eventually, 41 years after the Diocese of Pittsburgh knew of the abuse he’d committed, removed from public ministry. He died in 2012.
According to the grand jury report, the Diocese of Pittsburgh under Wuerl took its time in removing predatory priests from active ministry, sometimes still paying them or allowing them to transfer to another diocese, despite being aware of complaints against them.
The Archdiocese of Washington under Cardinal Wuerl was swift to act when faced with a different kind of priest, though: a faithful one who quietly tried to do the pastoral thing.
Pro-abortion professor won’t say if unborn humans are human
Claims that the question requires a more ‘nuanced’ response
A pro-choice professor is refusing to say whether or not unborn human beings are actually human, something a prominent professor and bioethicist called an “objective biological fact.”
Rebecca Todd Peters, professor of religious studies at Elon University, recently wrote an opinion piece justifying her pro-choice stance on abortion from a Christian perspective. “If we truly value women and healthy families, we must accept that ‘I do not want to have a baby’ is an imminently appropriate reason to end a pregnancy. And we must trust that pregnant women are the only ones who are capable of making these decisions,” Peters writes in the column.
Citing her own mother’s teaching, Peters states: “You shouldn’t have a baby because you are pregnant. You should have a baby because you want to be a mother, because you want to have a family.”
The College Fix reached out to Peters with numerous questions regarding her pro-abortion philosophy, including whether or not she believed unborn human beings are actually human, and whether or not it is acceptable to euthanize gravely ill infants.
“The questions that you ask…are very serious moral questions that require far more substantive reflection and discussion than I could possibly offer” prior to this article’s deadline, Peters responded. She pointed The Fix toward her book “Trust Women: A Progressive Christian Argument for Reproductive Justice” for “a far more detailed and nuanced discussion of these questions than I could possibly offer in an email.”
The Fix offered to extend the deadline of this article if Peters would be willing to explain whether or not she believed the unborn are actually human. “As I mentioned, everything you have asked about is in the book so I think I will leave it at that,” Peters responded.
Not everyone thinks that the humanity of unborn humans is a “moral question” that requires “nuance.” Dianne N. Irving, a professor, research biochemist and bioethicist, told The Fix via email that the humanity of unborn humans is an “objective scientific fact.”
“First, be assured, that it has been known internationally for over 100 years…that a new sexually reproduced human being begins to exist at fertilization. By the 1940s this objective scientific fact was universally documented,” Irving said.
“The accurate objective facts have also been incorporated in genuine human embryology textbooks for many decades now. Can’t get more objective than that!” Irving added.
“Of course [Peters] did not want to answer this question as she already knew that it would debunk her pro-abortion argument,” Irving said.
Irving cited the “Carnegie Stages of Early Human Embryonic Development,” a system used by embryologists for many decades to classify the earliest stages of unborn development. This system “objectively documents that in sexual reproduction,” a new human being begins to exist at the “‘first contact’ between the male sperm and female oocyte.”
The Carnegie Stages, Irving wrote in an article she provided The Fix, “were instituted in 1942 by the National Museum of Health and Medicine’s Developmental Anatomy Center” and “are based on internationally acclaimed research going back to the 1880’s and have been consistently updated since then to the present by the international nomenclature committee consisting of 20-23 Ph.D.’s in human embryology from around the world.”
The College Fix reached out to three Christian student groups on Elon’s campus—Elon Catholic Campus Ministry, the Elon University Gospel Choir, and the Lutherans, Episcopalians and Friends group—seeking comment on Irving’s pro-abortion article. Those groups did not respond in time for publication.
In her pro-choice piece, Peters says that giving birth to a child is a “significant moral commitment.”
“There is nothing Christian about requiring women to ‘justify’ their reasons for abortion. And there is certainly nothing Christian about forcing women to continue pregnancies against their will,” Peters concludes.
Irving told The Fix that the latest scientific research on conception—which establishes that “a new human being begins to exist…at ‘first contact’ between the male sperm and female oocyte”— needs to be widely published so that the public “can have access to the accurate scientific facts of human embryology.”
“Why are the accurate objective scientific facts of human embryology ignored?” Irving continued. “Multiple reasons, as usual, but mainly they could be used against arguments involving abortion, the use of abortifacients, destructive human embryo and fetal research, genetic engineering, synthetic biology, genome splicing, etc.”
There’s “lots of money involved,” Irving said.
Donald Trump Jr. SKEWERS Rep. Joe Kennedy III over his instant reaction to the viral ICE arrest story
Donald Trump Jr. SKEWERS Rep. Joe Kennedy III over his instant reaction to the viral ICE arrest story
By now you’ve probably heard the story flying about evil ICE agents arresting an illegal immigrant who was taking his pregnant wife to the hospital to give birth:
ICE arrested a California man on Wednesday when he stopped for gas while driving his wife to the hospital for her C-section. She ended up driving herself the rest of the way, giving birth alone. https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2018/08/17/joel-arrona-detained-by-ice-san-bernardino-driving-wife-to-deliver-baby/ …
ICE Detains Man Driving Pregnant Wife To Hospital To Deliver BabyJoel Arrona was driving his wife to the hospital for a scheduled Cesarean section Wednesday afternoon when he was detained by ICE agents in San Bernardino.
losangeles.cbslocal.com
But, as we told you, that wasn’t the entire story. What was left out was that the man ICE arrested was wanted on a murder warrant in Mexico:
Twitchy Team ✔@TwitchyTeam"A newborn is without his father Friday" — because his father was wanted on an outstanding homicide warrant https://twitchy.com/brettt-3136/2018/08/18/a-newborn-is-without-his-father-friday-because-his-father-was-wanted-on-an-outstanding-homicide-warrant/ …
And this brings us to Democratic Rep. Joe Kennedy III whose instant reaction to the article was to call ICE’s actions “worse than heartless”:
Rep. Joe Kennedy III ✔@RepJoeKennedyThere’s heartless and then there’s whatever the hell this is.
ICE arrested a California man on Wednesday when he stopped for gas while driving his wife to the hospital for her C-section. She ended up driving herself the rest of the way, giving birth alone. https://ift.tt/2BjxWDS …
Do we need to remind young Kennedy about his family’s history and all of that, since he wants to talk about “heartless” and all?
It’s like say getting hammered and then driving off a bridge and leaving a woman in the car to suffocate to death in an air bubble that is slowly becoming unbreathable.
Would President Hillary release wanted murderers just because their wives were pregnant?
Trump wants Bruce Ohr tossed from Justice Department: 'A total joke!'
By Gabriella Muñoz - The Washington Times
Bruce Ohr Besides the dossier, a flow of anti-Trump data went to the FBI via the husband-and-wife team of Bruce and Nellie Ohr. Bruce was an associate attorney general; his wife was an anti-Trump researcher at Fusion GPS.President Trump called former deputy U.S. attorney general Bruce Ohr a total joke on Monday, calling for the Justice Department official to be fired.
Will Bruce Ohr, whose family received big money for helping to create the phony, dirty and discredited Dossier, ever be fired from the Jeff Sessions “Justice” Department? A total joke!
Donald J. Trump ✔@realDonaldTrump“Bruce Ohr is at the center of FALSE ALLEGATIONS which led to a multi-million dollar investigation into what apparently didn’t happen.” Darrell Issa, House Oversight. We can take out the word “apparently.” @FoxNews
Nellie Ohr, Mr. Ohr’s wife, worked at Fusion GPS. Democrats hired that firm during the 2016 election to investigate then-candidate Trump, which resulted in Christopher Steele’s infamous dossier.
Republicans have touted the dossier as the basis for the Russian investigation and accusations of collusion, though intelligence officials deny it.
Mr. Ohr is on the president’s short list to lose security clearance.
“I think Bruce Ohr is a disgrace and I suspect I’ll be taking it away very quickly,” the president told reporters on Friday.
