    NEAR UNIVERSAL IGNORANCE OF THE IMPORTANCE OF OUR LEGAL SYSTEM
    Why Don’t You Know About Commonality and Concurrency – and Why Don’t Our Lawyers, Legislators, and Judges?

    Law Is Taught As Carpentry Not Architecture
    Legal education often focuses on specific doctrines, case law, and statutory interpretation rather than overarching philosophical concepts unless in a constitutional law, jurisprudence or decidability. Worse most have no understanding of behavioral economics, macroeconomics, or political economy.

    Studying the Trees And Ignoring the Forest
    The concepts of “commonality” and” concurrency” are embedded in legal principles but not explicitly labeled as such. Terms like “precedent,” “equal protection,” “due process”, and “bicameralism”, are more commonly used.

    Basic Principles Missing In Legal Education
    In the law, particularly American law, if less so British, we require Concurrency of populations (house), states (senate), legislatures (electoral college) in voting and legislation (positiva) AND Commonality of decisions across classes and regions in dispute resolution in court (negativa) to produce legitimacy of the construction of law, AND Settled Law in the population – thus ending conflicts.

    It’s Just Science
    These are both empirical processes insure both sovereignty of the people by consent of the regions and classes in voting and legislation, and commonality in the resolution of disputes, which together protect the interests of the minority against the majority and where both are required under the common law, where the people are sovereign, because there is no alternative to that empiricism.

    The Opposite of Majority Democracy
    We do NOT live in a democracy. We live under the Natural Law of Sovereignty, Reciprocity and Duty, codified in a Constitution, forming a Republic, prohibiting violations of sovereignty reciprocity and duty, and by use of concurrent voting, across classes and regions, thus protecting the minority from the majority by insuring people agree (consent) to a statute, even if by proxy through elected representatives, before the enactment of legislation and regulation (statute law) where conflicts are resolved in the Court, by findings of the Court (‘judge discovered law, but not judge made law’), by adversarial competition before a judge and jury of their sovereign peers.

    Accumulated Ignorance Because of Lack of Recording in the Constitution
    In other words, we have lost the understanding of the fact that the constitution produced an empirical (scientific) method of governance. And it is the only one extant, despite the efforts of such petty theorists as Rez, Kelsen, Dworkin, Rawls and so many others so less competent and knowledgable than their ancestors.

    The Solution
    Of course, my life’s work seeks to correct this problem with a formal science of decidability applied to law, policy, and economy. But if it was easy someone would have done it before me – instead of inventing sophistry by which to empower elites to circumvent the people, even if the people are so frustrated by the process that they might wish it – at their peril.

    THE FED: “THE CREATURE FROM JEKYLL ISLAND”

    “The Creature from Jekyll Island: A Second Look at the Federal Reserve” is a book written by G. Edward Griffin. The book provides a critical examination of the Federal Reserve System and its role in the American economy. Here’s a summary of its main points:

    SUMMARY OF “THE CREATURE FROM JEKYLL ISLAND”

    Historical Background:
    The title refers to a secret meeting held in 1910 on Jekyll Island, Georgia, where powerful bankers and financial elites formulated plans that would lead to the creation of the Federal Reserve System in 1913.
    Griffin argues that this meeting was instrumental in setting up a central banking system designed to serve the interests of the banking elite rather than the general public.

    Creation of the Federal Reserve:
    The Federal Reserve was established ostensibly to stabilize the American banking system and prevent financial panics.
    Griffin contends that its real purpose was to create a banking cartel, allowing banks to control the money supply and manipulate the economy for their benefit.

    Critique of the Federal Reserve:
    Inflation and Debt: Griffin argues that the Federal Reserve’s monetary policies, particularly its ability to print money, lead to inflation and national debt, devaluing the currency and eroding savings.

    Economic Manipulation:
    The book claims that the Fed manipulates the economy through interest rates and money supply, often resulting in economic booms and busts that benefit the financial elite at the expense of ordinary citizens.

    Lack of Accountability:
    Griffin criticizes the Federal Reserve’s lack of transparency and accountability, suggesting that it operates independently of the government and public oversight.

    Banking and Money Creation:
    Griffin explains the process of money creation through fractional reserve banking, where banks only keep a fraction of their deposits on hand and lend out the rest, effectively creating new money.
    He argues that this system leads to an unstable economy prone to cycles of booms and busts.

    Monetary Reform Proposals:
    The book advocates for monetary reform, including the abolition of the Federal Reserve.
    Griffin suggests a return to a commodity-based currency, such as the gold standard, to ensure sound money and prevent inflation.

    Conspiracy Theories:
    Griffin delves into various conspiracy theories, suggesting that the Federal Reserve is part of a larger plot by international bankers to control the global economy.
    He links the Federal Reserve to other historical events and organizations, claiming that its creation was part of a broader agenda for economic and political control.

    Themes and Perspectives

    Skepticism of Central Banking:
    Griffin presents a skeptical view of central banking, arguing that it serves the interests of a financial elite rather than the public.
    He challenges the conventional wisdom that the Federal Reserve is necessary for economic stability.

    Libertarian Economic Views:
    The book aligns with libertarian economic principles, advocating for limited government intervention in the economy and a return to sound money principles.

    Conspiratorial Tone:
    Griffin’s narrative includes elements of conspiracy theory, suggesting that the Federal Reserve is part of a deliberate effort to control the economy and consolidate power.

    CONCLUSION

    “The Creature from Jekyll Island” is a controversial and provocative book that critiques the Federal Reserve and its impact on the American economy. Griffin argues that the Fed was created to serve the interests of a financial elite, leading to economic instability and inflation. While the book has been influential among critics of central banking and proponents of monetary reform, it has also been criticized for its conspiratorial tone and lack of rigorous economic analysis.

    Further Reading
    For those interested in a more conventional analysis of the Federal Reserve, consider reading:”The Federal Reserve and the Financial Crisis” by Ben S. Bernanke
    “Lords of Finance: The Bankers Who Broke the World” by Liaquat Ahamed

    These works provide different perspectives on the role and impact of central banking in the global economy.

  • RESTORING NECESSARY AND SUFFICIENT REPLACEMENT REPRODUCTION, THE FAMILY, MARRIAG

    RESTORING NECESSARY AND SUFFICIENT REPLACEMENT REPRODUCTION, THE FAMILY, MARRIAGE, AND DATING

    As far as I know the only solution is some combination of this ‘short list’ (our full list is much longer):
    – Restoring separation of sexes during education, restoring ability grouping in grades, and restoring adversarial competition to males in education, and if possible gamification of all education.
    – Reforming education to include the family, household, and reproduction not just labor in the economy, and adding basic natural law and behavioral econ, basic economics, basic contract law, basic accounting and basic project management to the entire cirriculum. Then restoring both physical education, mindfulness (self regulatory) education, and basic understanding of physical crafts to education,
    – Ending all marxist-sequence sex-class-race demoralization, undermining, conflict generation, and sedition both in education – and all other aspects of life. And requiring requalification of all teachers and professors by the anti-dei education (possibly in our work on natural law). Requiring demonstrated competency in the productive workforce prior to teaching above first grade. Also ending tenure for primary education, and with teachers serving ‘at the pleasure of the governor’. This will cause an increase in teacher compensation and an increase in teacher quality.
    – Ending the multiplicity of female-dominated pseudoscience, propaganda, and gut courses in the academy that cause debt, delays household formation and reproduction but does not contribute to long term productivity or income – especially once the scale of reformation is large enough for correction.
    – Massive gamification of higher education, by both restoration of early formal education in the trades, production of computer simulations and group role playing of extant roles all centralized and supported by a massive database of course content.
    – Requiring universities to insure a degreed student is fit for service. Requiring universities to borrow and lend students the money for their educations, limiting the university’s ability to collect the debt, and restoring proper incentives. Prohibiting profitability by freshman ‘churn’. Requiring teaching professors be full time assistant or full professors. Requiring separation of teaching and research institutions to restore primacy of teaching and requiring research funded by investment whether private, corporate, or public. Requiring Professorial management of each college in the institution and dramatically limiting the scope of administration. Requiring all domestic students of equal academic and social performance be accommodated before the first international student is allowed. (Yes I do understand the consequences of these demands, but the university has become the equivalent of the highly corruption medieval church prior to the reformation, and a seditious church at that.)
    – Restoring military influence in basic research in pursuit of strategic military and economic advantage regardless of field, with the charter of restoring and preserving national competitive advantage in all such fields. \
    – Restoring IQ, personality, and moral ‘profiling’ (tests) in employment, thus obviating the need for degrees for the majority of positions.
    – Restoring employment by any criteria desired, ending all bias other than capability.
    – Ending anti-male and anti-white employment and contract bias, meaning formally restoring rule of law by prohibiting legal institutionalization of discrimination.
    – Taxing singles to pay for married’s children because singles are not contributing to long term tax production nor providing for their unemployment, medical, and retirement
    – Making it less desirable to hire women by making businesses and governments pay for women’s childbearing and time off.
    – Accounting for costs by individual citizen to show their debt vs contribution in taxes or children or military service (only a minority of white men are tax contributors and the majority of women and nearly all minorities are tax ‘sinks’. This is the primary reason we must end immigration and reverse it.
    – Requiring marriage and replacement children to vote (if voting even means anything any longer. it seems we would be better with courts than democracy)
    – Possibly (?) requiring marriage and children for urban residency.
    – Constitutional amendment that the family is the subject of investment policy not the individual’s ability for consumption. In other words, it will take a lot of incentives combined to restore the priority of the family.
    – Investing in research and development of artificial wombs enabling even single men and women to acquire replacement level children. Plus ending the prohibition on genetic research that prohibits the elimination of negative traits.

    This will restore not only the family but the economy of the family and as a consequence the reproduction growth and economy of the polity.

    Cheers

    I am not fond of the special counsel provision when the target is an elected official rather than an unelected or appointed one.
