    No need. His reach will just increase geometrically now.

    I have a pretty clear understanding of where the media is heading, and how the credibility of individuals will replace that of ‘businesses’.

    It’s a miracle there is a newspaper alive today.
    And we can see, at least on the horizon, the slow decline of television media as the population ages out.

    THE 5 FOUNDATIONS OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION
    Western civ emerged on the steppe with the voluntary alliances of families of warriors and their cattle. This is the origin of democracy, rule of law, and western reason and empiricism:

    0) SOVEREIGNTY: the prohibition on authority, and the requirement for concurrency of warriors, families, and clans.

    1) NATURAL LAW: Tort. Given sovereignty, the requirement for voluntary reciprocity, and the prohibition on the imposition of costs against individual demonstrated interests (costs).

    2) NATURAL RIGHTS, OBLIGATIONS & INALIENATIONS: Enumerating those rights that are necessary to preserve Natural Law,

    3) COMMONALITY: the common law: empirical evidence of consistency in the resolution of disputes.

    4) CURRENCY: Concurrency of local population (house) and concurrency of the states (senate) for legislation, and concurrency of the population of the states for the presidency (the electoral college). The system was designed to prevent ‘activist’ legislation by any group, requiring consent (via empirical test of concurrency). In other words, no group may dominate any other group. All groups must agree: the must “concurrently concur” for legislation to pass.

    The common law, the constitution, the branches of government, are designed intentionally to prevent anything and everything from being enacted that creates authority, deprives people of sovereignty, and the demand for concurrency (ascent) across all the classes, populations, and states.

    This is the only possible means of preserving rule of law by the natural law that preserves individual sovereignty, natural law, natural rights, and consent.

    Concurrency requires all groups to agree. Had we added women to the franchise as their own group as we had the classes before them we might have prevented the use of women as the vector for hostilities between sexes, classes and races.

    If you don’t understand this then:
    (a) your education failed you
    (b) you probably have no business stating an opinion
    (c) because if you counter these requirements, you are aggressing against others, and … under Natural Law, (the science of cooperation) they will retaliate against you as the ‘outlaw’ you are.

    Why?
    … 1) Why don’t people commit suic***de?
    … 2) Why don’t people kill one another and take their stuff.
    … 3) Why don’t groups of people kill one another and take their stuff?
    Answer:
    …1) The opportunity for persistence (opportunity).
    …2) The opportunity for the gains of cooperation.
    …3) The gains of CONTINUOUS peaceful voluntary reciprocal cooperation in production are greater than MOMENTARY predation and consumption, and the risk of doing so.
    If someone violates the criteria for peaceful voluntary cooperation, then 3,2, and 1, no longer apply.
    And therefore the reason NOT to k*** you and yours and take your(individual and collective) stuff no longer applies.
    The left tends to extend the mother-child parasitic relationship to the polity against volition of members of the polity. The right prohibits the extension of the mother-child parasitic relationship to themselves. In other words, the feminine intuition interprets the individual clans and families (packs) as a collective (herd) of necessity rather than alliance of family and clan utility.
    This competition between the feminine hyperconsumptive utopian and masculine hypercapitalizing empirical, produces opportunity for cooperation. And only voluntary reciprocal cooperation preserves it.
    In this sense, the Abrahamic sequence of supernatural religions and the Marxist sequence of pseudoscientific religions in this era are attempts to violate the natural law, and incentivize civil war by doing so.
    Why? No criminal who justifies his or her crimes ever stops his or her criminal pursuits, unless the costs of such criminality is raised by the threat of retaliation for those crimes.

    There is your lesson in the constitution and the reason for western civilization’s disproportionate success.
    -Cheers

    THE FOUR FOUNDATIONS OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION
    Western civ emerged on the steppe with the voluntary alliances of families of warriers and their cattle. This is the origin of democracy, rule of law, and western reason and empiricism: the prohibition on authority, and the requirement for concurrency.
    1) NATURAL LAW: Tort. Individual sovereignty, requirements for reciprocity, and the prohibition on the imposition of costs against individual demonstrated interests (interests in the legal sense as costs paid for something.)
    2) NATURAL RIGHTS: those rights that are necessary to articulate to preserve Natural Law.

  • WHO CREATES MONEY? Money consists of commodity money. Technically no one creates

    WHO CREATES MONEY?
    Money consists of commodity money. Technically no one creates commodity money any longer, everyone creates commodity money substitutes we call currencies, and almost exclusively fiat or monopoly State currencies.
    The treasury, the central bank, all dependent banks, any institution that can loan on a fractional reserve, every investment institution that can issue speculative debt instruments, and anyone who can issue credit via any of the above can create money substitutes.
    Why? Because while a Treasury (at least today) creates currency and coins as fiat money, the vast majority of monetary creation is through credit money: records of debt, all of which are insured by the State (to some degree), and therefore by the people, and backed only by present demand and speculation on the future production of the people whose surplus via taxes paid by the people.
    As such all fiat money, as a money substitute, consists of a share of stock in the corporation of the state, and trades on the markets as a share of the state.
    However, there is no current method of competing internationally against the capacity of States to issue shares to use as currency, to use as a money substitute, largely in the form of debt records, precisely because credit expansion is the most efficient method of producing incentives to produce while at the same time producing self-determination by sovereignty in demonstrated interest and reciprocity in display word and deed we call sovereignty, liberty, freedom, insurance, and security that we all appear to favor more so than their absence. 😉
    But, like I said, institutions lag. And this problem is easily corrected. And I’ve written the law to correct it. Had the bank of England started out ‘properly’ then it might not have. But they created the foundations of state money and banking, which from their origins maintained the control of that money by the investors in the central (state) banks.

  • The “state within a state” complaint is substantive and well understood. It isn’

    The “state within a state” complaint is substantive and well understood. It isn’t clear that ANY form of government has or can exist without the internal formation of some form of the spectrum of capital from physical to genetic to familial to conspiratorial, to financial to informational.

    Elites always form. The only means of prohibiting elite formation and the rents they extract is the production of a market for the prosecution of rents and deceits. And oddly a constitutional monarchy with the right to exceed the law in the restoration of the law is the optimum form of government – and has been throughout history.

    The fact that we don’t do that is a near univeral vulnerability in all world law. For this reason, we see huge reforms that redistribute assets throughout history, or we see coups or revolutions. There is no substitute for a universal armed militia, a constitution that guarantees arms, the prohibition on falsehood and rent-seeking of all kinds, a court system for the prosecution of everyone of any standing for such crimes, and the militia to ‘correct’ matters if those court systems fail.

    This has not been done before for the simple reason that before my work it wasn’t put into the law in such a form that it was inescapable. But in the end, there is no guarantee of the formation of states within states other than the willingness to use force.

    in the USA the financial sector, the academy, and the media have formed a state within a state to capture the government, destroy our institutions both formal and informal, and our culture and genetics too.

    20K doesn’t move the needle. It replaces the people we brought back from Germany just a bit ago. The number would have to be 200K to make any difference. The problem is we don’t have much more than that in combat troops. Most people are logistics and tech.

    WHY “EVERYTHING SUCKS” AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT.

    Easy explanation is that you are in control of yourself, have constant reinforcement from family and community, and are isolated from status signal information in every meaningful way as a subsistence farmer.

    Today, we allowed the progressives and the left to destroy the relationship between the sexes, the security of the nuclear family, and the safety of familial insurance for all, in order to extend it to the minority margins who failed at it.

    The problem is alienation, powerlessness, and victimization by scales they have no control over because power distance in Federal States this large is so great that there is ZERO correlation between public want and political action.

    Small ethnically homogenous nation-states with natural law constitutions, rule of law, constitutional monarchy, parliament, participatory government, and policy that favors the intergenerational family as the primary organization of all social economic, and political production, over that of the marginal individual, and with populations under 10M or so are the optimum political order and always will be.

    These small, low power distance states, allied into defensive alliances, are necessary to preserve the high trust, high redistribution and low alienation we require when we are for all intents and purposes victims of the broader polity and economy more so than our own actions – and will increasingly be so for all futures imaginable other than our ending.

    There is no alternative. (really)

    -FIN-
