Agree completely. Was it Doora who linked to an anarchistic video about exactly that? I will try and find it later.

As for the state appointments, that could very well be the case. I am pretty sure that the real starting point of the British Empire was not just Elizabeth 1st and the occulted John Dee, but the use of the navy by capital brought into being by the Central Bank (ex-nihilo? ) after the Glorious Revolution of 1688 - what did Patterson say? "The bank hath the benefit of interest on all monies it createth out of nothing"? Something like that. So all this capital lent out as debt to discoverers, looters, capitalist forces that could reap rewards and pay it back. I guess the state appointments were a more formalised way of doing this kind of business once the Empire was logistically more sound.
