Great Unions Changed To Bull States

Angela Merkel, the Chancellor of Germany, after speaking with President Trump in the G7 conference, has declared that Europe is now on its own since it cannot rely any longer on the US. This means that, instead of two great unions of states, the US and the EU must now become super nations. Americans have already given up any idea that they live in a union of states and in the European Union it should be an easy business through media propaganda to transfer the surging nationalism in the various states to a super nationalism centered in a more powerful central government. Instead of uniting the 28 states of Europe and the 50 American states in one huge supremely powerful union of states guaranteeing world peace, free interstate movement of labor and capital, universal human rights and a free democratic government in each sovereign state of the union, the 78 states must now cower down humbly and accept to be no more than the provinces of two new bull states able to compete with bull states like China and Russia. The lie is that the bigger the union of states the more powerful are the big brother dictators in the central government. Think of it seriously. If the EU and the US became the United States of the World with one central government in Washington, with 56 European Senators coming to Washington to govern the union along with hundreds of European Congressmen, would our 78 states with limited sovereignty be less free than as provinces in unions that become no more than new bull states? Big brothers feel secure in bull states. In a grand union of 78 states with individual rights written down and guaranteed by a Constitution, big brothers have anxiety attacks because they cannot tolerate the rule of law and of free men.

Will France Fight an Economic Battle Against German Bankers?

Emmanuel Macron, the new French president, can win a great victory for France and for Europe by attacking the present European Union banking system. Just like the first Napoleon, he has enormous power over the French state and like Napoleon he should use it quickly to outmaneuver the Germans who rule so clumsily the sluggish and old-fashioned European central bankers. President Macron is an economist who knows well the American Federal Reserve banking system. He knows that it is a highly sophisticated system and that it works very well in a union of states. He should institute it in Europe and free local bankers in all the European Union states to create money for their local economies at their risk and as they see fit. This happens now in the US. Federal Reserve banks not controlled by any government support local banks by lending them money and freeing them to loan money well in excess of the small deposits they hold. This allows them to create the money supply from the bottom up by loaning businesses money independently of state central banks like those in the EU who now stifle European economic development by their stupid austerity measures. Recently when banks failed in Italy, the Italian government used public tax money to save the owners of the banks and did nothing for the average depositors who lost their money. The opposite happens with the US banking system. Federal examiners take over failed banks, save what assets are left, leave the owners to suffer bankruptcy and reimburse depositors for their loses up to $250000.
   The central government of a union of states should not use a central bank to create the money supply for a large group of states. Neither should it demand that states not take upon themselves deficit spending if they wish. No money supply of a union of states expands correctly if the supply is not created locally in local banks who understand where capital is needed to create profits and jobs. The Federal Reserve Banking system of the US is a working model necessary for full economic expansion in Europe. Like the first Napoleon with his army, the new master of France should use his knowledge of advanced economic systems to boldly and quickly outwit the present masters of the EU’s economy for the good of Europe.

The New Napoleon Ruling France

The first Napoleon used the French nation’s military power to unify Europe. The new one, Emmanuel Macron, will end the old French nation and unify what is left with Germany to create in fact a grand European nation. Since the victory of Russia over Hitler’s Germany, Europeans have hated Russia’s power. They hated America’s power too but accepted it grudgingly because they were not unified and weak.  Not anymore. Germany already dictates economic policy to a large group of states and the difficulties Britain is having leaving the European Union have taught states in the union how difficult it is to leave. The European states in the future will be dominated by French-German power and will come around to the idea of a great European nation. The European nation will need nuclear weapons and a system in place to deliver them for its independence from America. But France has them. Her new Napoleon is also like the first Napoleon more powerful than other Europeans militarily. Nationalism is vibrant  all over Europe but the nationalism of small states is a dead policy globally. The future belongs to big bull states like China, Russia, Turkey, India, Trump’s America and now the new big bull European nation that Macron’s election signals for Europe in the near future. France will never be an independent nation again and neither will other states in Europe. But bull nations are all the rage globally and Europe might as well create one in Europe.

Richer Days Ahead For Citizens of the US

It is so, so simple! Every time Congress admits a new state to our union of states, Washington increases its income from taxes. With 15 new states, its income would go way up and yet it would need less money because the world would be safer protected by the US military stationed in US states worldwide. The elected representatives from 65 US states in Congress could easily reduce federal taxes. Every employed citizen would pay less federal taxes and take home more money for the same work. With 65 states, Washington would be less involved in regulating states and states would have more power. As federal taxes decrease, states could increase taxes and use all their income only on direct benefits to their citizens. As we go forward, the robotization of industry and of life in general will make a democratic state devoted only to the welfare of its citizens the most essential thing. It is so, so simple! Congress has the right to admit new states according to Article lV Section 3 of the US Constitution! If the US had a 100 states, Washington’s present military budget could be decreased and still be enough to protect a much more peaceful world. There would be more peace and democracy in the world and more wealth for US citizens living worldwide. So,so simple!

American Relevancy Is Becoming Irrelevant

American domestic policy is free capitalistic economic development in a democratic union of states where none of its thousands of governments are fully sovereign. American foreign policy is the opposite. It promotes worldwide the existence of sovereign independent nation-states and uses its military and diplomatic power to influence them to be democracies open to free capitalistic development. This foreign policy has now run its course and failed. Worldwide we have mostly independent states ruled by dictators who steal the wealth created by global capitalism for themselves. Worse still, some of these states are big bull states with dictators who use the worldwide economy created by American policy to steal and control the wealth of their states and to use their easy access to massive amounts of capital to invest widely in foreign economies to profit from the global capitalistic system created and maintained by American power. America no longer directs the actions of global capitalism. It cannot thrive without American financial and military influence globally but the global economy that America created is now developed enough to function without its direction. American influence is now taken for granted. American relevancy is becoming irrelevant. Democracy worldwide is dying. Bull states like China and Russia are  powerful and relevant and big states like Turkey, India, and Iran are promoting nationalism without democracy to become bull states too. Dictators in less powerful states, whether elected or not, protect the rape of their state's wealth by imitating the big bull states. Running with the bulls is in. Ruling the nation-states of the world democratically is out. America has a weapon possessed by no other state that it has never used. Washington is the center of a union of states and obligated by its Constitution to force every one of its states to govern themselves only as democracies. Democracy no longer works in nation- states. America can become much more  relevant worldwide by admitting new states to its union rather than trying to maintain its relevancy by dropping bombs on them.

The Theater of the Impossible

The night sky over Kenmore Square shines with a strange
light that is not much less fascinating when we see high in the airthe steel poles capped with big electric lamps that radiate a
manufactured sunlight over Fenway Park, the home field of the
Boston Red Sox. We are in an immense crowd of people walking
along together as though in harmony with some secret rhythm
that sends out an odd murmur. The loud, blurred sounds of
thousands of words speak, without any language that can be
understood, about a precise excitement. We are all leaving the
same place to go together to a space that calls with a mysterious
voice understood by everyone. We have only to follow along. The sidewalk is unable to hold all of us; some must walk in the street that is crammed with cars. We don’t look particularly to see anything significant in the thousands of faces around us because the present business of walking seems so powerfully controlled by a strong desire to discover something absent rather than to seek anything in one another. The crowd has a touch of the nervous energy of buyers and sellers on the floor of a stock exchange who seem deaf to the noise of their own cries and forgetful of themselves because they have so completely surrendered their individual identity to a foreign reality indicated by fluctuating numbers on a board which seem at the same time to delight them and to torment them. But the energy of this crowd is the kind that has left for once the bewitching power of money in order to probe the veins of another kind of magic. The night sky over Fenway Park has no longer any night. We are on our way to a festival where nothing is for sale except the incorporation of ourselves in the eternal business of baseball.

Trump's Crazy Bombardment in Syria

Trump’s bombardment in Syria was crazy because it had no good political purpose. No head of any government should commit willy nilly an act of war against a sovereign state.  President Trump blew up an airfield in Syria for the abstract moral reason that a legally-elected dictator  was continuing to kill his own citizens in a civil war and now every Syrian citizen is fully justified morally in waging war against America and Americans. For what reason did he put us in this position and how do we respond to our Syrian enemies when they attack us? Can we say that we bombed their airfield for them?  If that was the purpose, then we are committed morally to invading Syria and changing its political leader as we did in Iraq and Afghanistan. If President Trump does not conduct all out war against Syria to remove its leader, then his bombardment was simply crazy. If he does go to war, he risks war with Russia since it has military forces in Syria allied with it. A crazy act could have a crazy and deadly development.
   Instead of shooting bombs for no good reason at sovereign states, President Trump should start acting sanely and send them democracy. Instead of risking war with Russia, he should get rid of the economic sanctions against it. More globalism and free capitalistic activities in Russia will weaken its dictator’s power. Trump and his Republican majority in Congress have the right under Article IV Section 3 of the Constitution to admit new states to out American union of 50 states. Offer American statehood to Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia and to any other former Russian colonies that wish it. Offer it to Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan too and to any other states worldwide that want it. The only goal that is both sane and good for American foreign diplomacy is worldwide democracy and universal human rights guaranteed in every state anywhere. They would be much more powerful bombs than the ones President Trump delivered to Syria for no rational purpose.
