RAMANAM
In the Name of The Father, and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit, Amen.
Countrymen,
ORBIS NON SUFFICIT
SOLUS DEUS SUFFICIT
Is it not deliciously ironic that, while fascist oligarchs, politicians and bureaucrats — and their jihadi counterparts in a parallel absolutism — dream of global hegemony, the world is miniaturizing, decentralizing and diversifying?
Here are indications of power vectors for miniaturization, decentralization and diversification:
Across North and Sub-Saharan Africa, Lebanon, Gaza Strip and West Bank of the Jordan, etc., etc., etc. Of varying size, capacity and potential.
Wise USA grand national strategic goal would side with each of those power vectors for miniaturization, decentralization and diversification.
When governments grow too large, experience insufficient restraint on deploying their lethality domestically or inter-nationally, they are illegitimate because their purpose is to foster, not overbear, individuals and groups. When, under euphemisms such as nudging, bureaucrats — i.e., governments — using penal authority force citizens into behaviors citizens did not desire and do not want, those bureaucrats and the oligarchs and politicians who install them deserve their power shaken, broken, miniaturized, decentralized and diversified.
The solution to gigantism is miniaturization, the solution to centralization is decentralization and the solution to characterless-ness is diversification. Individuals may be not denied their inalienable authority, which includes the authority to protect themselves from overbearing individuals, groups and especially oligarchs, politicians and bureaucrats. Given time, they will find a way to assert their authority. In the face of fascist hegemons, wise USA grand national strategic goal is to foster the intrinsic authority of individuals as expressed world-wide in power vectors for miniaturization, decentralization and diversification.
While our moral and intellectual betters plot global oligarchic centralization — though not all oligarchs want each other in the ruling class — the world they aim to dominate moves towards miniaturization, decentralization and diversification. Even when propelled, as in the case of California, by oligarchs. Life force is florid, not staid. It drives towards unity of life but not of forms of life. Of forms it drives towards miniaturization, decentralization and diversity.
National boundaries are not fixed eternities. We witness early stages of redefining not a few of those.
Update 1: Triumph of the global Anglosphere
Update 2: Coincidence of civil unrest and international war
Update 3: Paul A. Rahe: … the inexorable growth of the administrative regulatory, welfare state is itself a threat to our capacity to govern ourselves.
Update 4: How about a RICO suit at Tom Steyer?
Update 5: On 27 January 2015, Marine GEN (Ret.) James N. Mattis addressed the United States Senate Armed Services Committee on the subject A New American Grand Strategy. At Hoover Institution, who published an adapted version of General Mattis’ address, I commented — with edits here — as follows:
Not that it matters, but, I both appreciate and despond over General Mattis’ address here. Appreciate because (1) as a genuine warrior he says what he sees and eloquently and (2) his heart is unalloyed courage and compassion. Despond because (1) his address reflects lack of situational awareness — half his auditors at least regard the nation state, including USA, as obsolete and perishing — and (2) his address, although latterly specifying or implying serious tactical weaknesses of current operations, transits the periphery of his title: grand national strategy.
It is rare for a military leader to grasp and execute the several strands — principally diplomatic, economic and military, but others as well — of grand national strategy sufficiently to create a rational grand national strategic *goal* that is also inspirational. It is rare for anyone to be able to do that. General David Petraeus has that ability, which is why the Anti-American, Globalist-partisan US Justice [so-called] Department is persecuting/prosecuting him. Asking Congress or a bureaucracy to develop that ability and execute with it compares with asking a herd of cats to organize an expedition to summit Annapurna. Distilling and serving a happy grand national strategic *goal* is a personal, leadership thing few can do, but some definitely can and do accomplish. Their thoughts merit discovery and attendance.
The cynosure of a nation is not her grand national strategy. It is her grand national strategic *goal.* Given what we see now, project and anticipate — always expecting the unexpected, as General Mattis mentions, thankfully, in his address — where and what do we want to be as a nation three, five, ten, etc. years hence? What is our goal? What do we really, truly — as a nation — want for and of ourself to be, to do, to think? What is our inner necessity as a nation? What are we on this earth to accomplish as a national presence? And why do members of Congress not live in the states from which they were selected for office?
Related: On 04 March 2015 Marine GEN (Ret.) James N. Mattis wrote for Hoover Institution under title Using Military Force Against ISIS. I commented:
I am content that GEN (Ret.) Mattis’ thinking, clear and compelling, be expressed in public. Thank you, General! Our countrymen are working their way towards how they will think and what they will do when they are quit of the hag riding their back. And they will be that. This exercise in preparation for the restoration of national sovereignty and wealth flowing from national moral and intellectual strength is what should be happening and what is happening. I am content.
Update 6: The NYT sneers hopefully for The End Of The Anglo-American Order [Anglosphere]. They mean they hope for the end of Christianity.
AUM NAMAH SHIVAYA
