Man, the State and Empire - The Rise of Monetarchy

Many despair of the economic confusion that seems to rule the news of the day as we move into 2012. They simply do not understand what is happening.

Micro-analysis is highly cumbersome and often confuses the reader because various complex issues and subject areas considered in isolation from the broader picture are necessarily incomplete and limited.

Macro-analysis can provide a brief formal overview but has the very real danger of oversimplifying a great many complex processes.

Below, I have attempted to synthesize the issues in a way that is accessible to the average reader with a good dictionary, wikipedia and a willingness to google key terms.

If you accept the theoretical framework, the conclusion is fairly simple relative to what steps must be taken to restore the primacy of the nation-state. It is no secret that my efforts are dedicated to seeking prescriptions for the ailments not palliatives, mitigators or superficial treatments.

What must be done? To bring down an empire, the enabling sovereign nations must transform themselves from within. That means each and every American as well as citizens of other countries have a choice to make.

Can Americans find and bring back our Washington's revolutionary spirit, our tea party boldness, Lincoln's fight for unity and equality; Wilson's hope to end all wars; Roosevelt's affirmation of democratic values relative to the centralized party hierarchies of communism/fascism; Kennedy's man on the moon searching the stars; Johnson's great society, and citizen's multiple occupy (occtupy) passions -- in constructive ways that restore sovereignty to the United States?

Most importantly, can Americans fight without resorting to Huntingtonian bigotry?

Can Americans reaffirm our values of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness?

It remains an open question.

Man, the State and Empire - The Rise of Monetarchy - Rule by Banks

The world is coming upon a significant transformation. From villages to fiefdoms to monarchies to empires to sovereign states, the world is now poised to transition to its most significant integrative transformation since the middle of the 20th century that saw the consolidation of the nation state. The world is moving to what President George Herbert Walker Bush referred to as a New World Order. This NWO is a Monetarchy or Rule by Banks.

Monetarchy has sucessfully implanted itself in the internal state governance of those participating in the world fiat currency markets. It has achieved sufficient integration to be considered an empire (overarching entity composed of various countries and nationalities) that exercises global management of multi-state fiscal (and by extension - social) policies through a synarchic financial banking sector led by a Federal Reserve system. The Federal Reserve system is led by a Chairman who functions as the Monetarch of the transnational banking empire.

The monetarchic system is interlinked with the most powerful unipolar, devolving, constitutional and polycratic state (US). Polycratic refers to three branches of government. Unipolar refers to productive and military capacity relative to other world states. Devolution is referred to as the transfer of power from the sovereign constitution to the transnational monetarchy. A technocrat is defined as a senior transnational bank official that shares the prevailing 'equilibrium' economics ideology.

The international system is maintained through explicit alliance among the US and a small number of strategic global state regional partners also in a state of devolution: Europe, UK-Australia-Canada, Israel, Arabia-Turkey, Pakistan-India, China, Russia, Japan, Brazil-Latin America, Indonesia-Taiwan, Africa. Those alliances include various commercial and free market agreements.

At the same time, the monetarchic empire is managed through senior banking sector technocrats sanctioned by the Federal Reserve. The singular characteristic of the empire is that it has designated the US dollar as the world reserve currency and regulates its quantity. This power over the world's reserve currency and its control of the fiscal decision process provides it with the leverage to exercise a monopoly of force through its state partner and its allies.

Technocrats from the various financial sector corporations serve interchangeably in executive branches of devolving states. Devolving states are defined as democratically-elected government plutocracies, that is, government increasingly composed of a wealthy financial class, whose role it is to enforce laws, legislate new ones and arbitrate conflicts. Thus, they are nominally nomocracies.

The plutocratic regimes ensure policies consistent with the interest of the Monetarchy because they perceive it as being in their financial self-interest. The Monetarch heads the Federal Reserve International Banking system and is subject to pro forma oversight by the governing body of the unipolar sovereign (US).

There are two opposing dynamics within the monetarchic system that affect its long-term viability.

On the one hand, there is the ongoing electoral reaffirmation of constitutional democratic institutions of the unipolar sovereign state (US). This state benefits most from the empire because the Monetarchy transfers its inflation to other lesser state allies. A reaffirmation tendency could possibly lead the polycratic state to stop the transfer of wealth from the sovereign's citizenry to the empire's transnational financial institutions, namely, implicit and explicit guarantees of fiscal international trade, exchange and commercial policies.

This tendency is counterbalanced by the reserve and world currency policies supported by global sovereign governments that continually increase the leverage of the monetarchy relative to its principal partner and other allied devolving sovereigns.

Whether the Empire is long-lived or whether the system re-balances in favor of the sovereignty of the country will depend on which dynamic with its consequent policy prescriptions proves stronger.
