What are the new paradigms in our hot new world of today?

In the period between the two world wars democracy was in peril.  Lost in the fascist bastions of Germany, Italy, Spain.  Crushed in the Communist bastions of Russia, China, demeaned in militaristic Japan..  A disordered, unruly, economically challenged word was in need of order, stability, trains running on time.

Vague unrest.  Lack of mobility.  Little freedom of thought, movement, little freedom from the slavery of wages, the absence of wages, fears for survival and food, clothing, shelter, the inability to counter the gun ….. the world that drove the populus.  Systems need to be trusted, feared, respected.  The state rests upon the acquiescence of the poor (Chateaubriand).

The poor can be a mob, a downtrodden blight upon the earth, a handy bit of useful fodder for those who need human labor, canon fodder, drones.  A state that makes comfort, survival at the benevolence of others …. those who control access to wealth, freedom of movement, wages, input into the exercise of power  …. this is the state that values a system that can be handled, used, abused, given over to those who know better, who know better by all manners of might making right.

At what balances of power are we to find grace and happiness?

What are the new paradigms in our hot new world of today?

This serves the interests of order.

Fiduciary responsibility demands that business models stand firm in the desire to maximize the profits and gains of the shareholders, the investor class and all of the lucky others who benefit with gains made in pension investments and 401K ‘s.  The employee is an expense who will get that which the market will bear.  There is no power there save for the trust in the free unfettered market.  There is no counter balance.  Unions are the devils plaything.

Studies of subjects not germane to hive or pigeon hole or numb body occupying space in a dedicated ordered, preset position are not of service to the needs of a workable market place.  Higher learning and a broad based understanding of the dead world around keep the focus off of the dedicated tasks of the task and wage slave.

The fall from grace from and advancing society comes when the advancement  of society is defined by the creation of sharpened worker drones.

This serves the interests of order.

The drives are primal. Given the paths to churn, churning reaps the whirlwind.

The drives are primal.  Given the paths to churn, churning reaps the whirlwind.

Russia wishes to restore its past glory, wants to be the monster that it was.  China wants its rightful place as center of all the universe.  Europe secretly wishes for n its past glory as head honcho of civilization.  The downtrodden of the world.wish to grab what they can from that which is left.  The grand great destiny of all peoples once and future glories pulls and pushes, drives and flames.

The great Caliphate of a grand and great age deserves its place in the modern sun.  The once mighty burn beneath the yoke of subordination, irrelevance.  The sky holds the pie.

Civilizations clash.  The weak wish to rise.  Always this bubbles under the surface.  The drives are primal.  Given the paths to churn, churning reaps the whirlwind.

Power supersedes law. Law is a tool of power.

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, News, opinion, political science, Politics with tags , , , , , , , on February 19, 2015 by B Schiff

Power supersedes law.  Law is a tool of power. 

Power supersedes law.  Law is a tool of power.  When law mitigates the power of some to do as they wish it is serving its function.  When it does not it is not.

Interpretations of law are done by bodies endowed with either the trust or power of a society, or both, to do as is seen fit.  Checks and balances are in the form of other laws or in the the ability to skirt, abuse, dictate or gut law.  Law is the filter through which power flows.  Law is the filter to which power is enforced.  Law is there to calm, to give order, to give legitimacy, to give excuse.  Federal and state law may conflict at the edges of each, may depend upon the ability of enforcement.  Other places may deal with the compliance of the populus, te enforcement of power.

Power supersedes law.  Players know this.

It is vital that we all learn the ways of empowerment.

It is vital that we all learn the ways of empowerment.

Mobsters in film and story are beloved by all.  The endless associations with the means of power, force, intimidation lifts the spirits and charges the hackles of red blooded folk everywhere.  Chests can be puffed out.  Squints can be flinty.  Scowls can be real.

Mobsters in film and story are beloved by all.   Templates of behavior can be laid.  Facets of aggression and authoritarianism can be nurtured.  The way to the imposition of will can be studied.  Enemies can be dealt with.

The fall back culture of the mean and well worked is happy intimidation.  Texas gunmen.  Big city union goons.  The strain is of long tradition and honor.  It is vital that we all learn the ways of empowerment.

Force always looks for holes.

Wish the region to be a garden of Western Eden or ….

Wish the region to be a garden of Western Eden or contain the threat to a sane ordered world.

Deal with hearts and minds and ancient riffs or deal with the real politic of interests, order, stability, sustenance, security.

Aims good, noble, true and open to interpretation or aims of squeezing and choking the life out of those who will always choose be at war.

Know that the reality of Western security is a valid point.  Know that that is the equation.  Know to work from there.

Be smart.  Then be noble.

We are going to strengthen the broad based middle class so that ….

We are  going to flee from the authoritarian strains in our political culture by championing the middle class and its sustainability.  We are going to intentionally strengthen the broad based middle that serves as a bulwark against the influences of the snide, the wealthy, the powerful and those outside of the general rules and mores of our society.

We are going to strengthen the broad based middle class so that its lovely self and selves will be able to establish itself as a defining factor of nationhood open to the idea of a nationhood that is a self contained unit not open to the blackmail and machinations of those who are citizens of the world or owners of it.

We are going to strengthen the broad based middle class so that political sanity may reign and extreme views may have something large, heavy and bulbous to run up against.

We are going to do such things so that a rational stable society may emerge.

Give it up suckers. They are smarter and tougher than you and they keep on coming.

Give it up suckers.  They are smarter and tougher than you and they keep on coming.

Anti intellectualism, oligarchy, whip hands and feelings of being a poor, poor put upon hard working, sensationally pure and pristine comatose majority of heaven sent bashers and well wishers ….. this is the holy city on the hill … the self image of the most pure and righteous of Americans as they toil in their fields and vineyards of cry babying and festering dislike ……   while they push forward the envelope to constantly take power and powers from those that don’t deserve it and constantly give power and powers to those that do.

We need to set the stage right so that the right kind of people, the right kind of government can take over the right kind of game and meet out the right kind of proper redress to /and from the right kind of proper caste system.

Absent an all out assault upon entrenched rancid defenders of the old archaic, devalued order of powers stolen from their rightful owners ….. then slowly putting the frog of illusory protections from scum into the fires of slick assed slogans and fanciful hates will allow heaven to triumph and the right boots to be heeled upon the right throats.

Give it up suckers.  They are smarter and tougher than you and they keep on coming.  They know the game.

Don’t cry when no one cares …. when you’re clubbed over the head and are totally useless if existing at all.

They are also not educated in the ways of conflict resolution from an early age. 

In a violent society, or subset of a society, violence is nurtured, honed, feared, taught, looked to for conflict resolution, looked to for protection.  Skills, weapons, alliances, necessary intimidation and willingness to act punctuate all moments, lead all thinking.  Survival, dominance, these are natures demands.

Where there is no pretense of a commonality of interests, mastery of force is the necessary evil.  Where there is a pretense of the commonality of interests diffusion of conflict is a desirable thing.

The young are guided by many motivations.  In violent circumstance the must navigate the paths of survival.  In advanced societies they are often given not many necessities. They are also not educated in the ways of conflict resolution from an early age.  Schools attempt to prepare their charges for a workable future.  A survivable future would seem to need giving them the tools to survive.

Force is always a tool. It is necessary to know who owns it.

The use of force is reserved for the government.  This helps keep competing powers and thugs from establishing their own rules and their own ways.  This is how governments regulate aggression and fear.  This is how they establish order, law and protection.  This is also a changeable position, challenged by those who wish access to the force they deem necessary to protect their interests, to advance their interests.  This is also a changeable position by those who respect not government, find government an impediment, wish to establish powers of their own.  Governmental force, non governmental force, both, may be bought and sold.  The question is always begged …. the challenging of this force always threatens chaos.  Lack of checks upon same brings a submissive society.

The force of power is challenged for abundant reasons, acceptable to the common good, unacceptable to it.  The will to master sanctioned force keeps government functioning.  This functioning may be mastered by the interests of many, the few.  The pressure upon those who control the trigger, the use, is invited often.

Pro government, anti government ….  force is always a tool. It is always the means to societal safety.  It is necessary to know who owns it.
