Death of empires: History tells us
what will follow the collapse of US hegemony.

Where do the Russians get their plasticity and hardness?

The utopia of foreign agents about the split

A great wealth transfer is underway:
How the West lost control of the gold market.
What protects people is their unity with one another. Eschatologically, this means with everyone. Empirically, this means with one’s neighbors and one’s nation.
Human creatures self-organize into neighborhoods and nations. Other creatures self-organize in ways peculiar to their natures.
Everyone self-organizes, even cats. And everyone lives, struggles, and cooperates with other creatures of their nature. Self-organization is a quality of life from its inception, even for its inception, regardless of a creature’s kind of nature.
After neighborhoods and towns, humans self-organize as States and Nation-States. A few Nation-States self-organize as Civilization-States. These days, the number of Civilization-States increases.
Our subject is re-organization of a Nation-or Civilization-State who experience, for any reason, dis-organization. Nation-or Civilization-States in this condition are in peril for many dimensions of their existence. The more dis-organization, the more the peril.
Specifically, our subject is re-organization of The USofA, a Civilization-State — mine — who since circa 1914 are consigned to ever more dis-organization and peril ever more harshly by ever more hard-hearted private and public personalities administering matters of finance, insurance, and real estate (FIRE).
How can The USofA come back from the perilous dis-organization into which we have backed, jumped, and been nudged pushed? We are not a unified nation now. Everybody sees that because it’s true.1 We have been, however, even within the memory of many and certainly within the aspirations of many more. We also can be.
What to do? Where to start? What’s the line from which to start the race? . . . from which to make the race start!
These are conceptual, not philosophical or political — or even economic — questions. At least, not in their offing. Sought for because required are fresh frames of reference, not clever adjustments . . . accurate assumptions, not new programs . . . realistic ideas, not bold initiatives . . . sightings, not visions.
There are two empirical measures of a nation’s health. One is their unit cohesion, their self-confidence expressed as national unity. The other is the contentment of their women, their self-confidence expressed as domestic expansion.
There is one way — one way only — to guarantee national unity, self-confidence, in quantity and quality sufficient to delectate the wants and needs of citizens of a dis-organized nation. That is, restore the nation’s national sovereignty. In the case of The USofA Civilization-State, dis-organized across years of abusive mishandling by self-promoting curators, this means: restore professionalism to the actions of US diplomats, financiers, and warfighters.
To wit:
Renounce marauding in and around other nations. (Diplomacy-Intelligence)
Make oligarchs, domestic and foreign, male and female, an offer they cannot refuse. (Finance-Investment)
Federalize the national defense industry under a US General Staff commanding The US [Joint] Armed Force. (Defense-Industrial Base)
From sovereignty comes security, such as it is,2 and from security comes unity. In all things, US Americans must cherish a hard mind, a soft heart, and skilled hands.3
This is the conceptual framework required to rebuild US National Unity. US National Unity is what we’re all after. Well, all except those of us who consider their market positions and party invitations matters of national security.
Even people not US Americans wish National Unity for US Americans. Intuitively they understand, correctly, that a unified people are a happy people unlikely to accost others for self-aggrandizement.
You’re protected only when other people want to help you be safe. At Nation-State and Civilization-State levels, that’s National Unity in action. Safety is a happiness given, not taken, and certainly, not commanded. What protects people is their unity with one another, both within and between nations.
The truth is one thing everyone can see because it speaks for itself. Truth needs no witness, no verification. In fact, Truth has no second. The truth is beyond understanding. It is not beyond experience.
GOA MacArthur, paraphrasing: In this world there is no security, there is only opportunity.
