BALKANIZED

I never, ever want to EVER be accused of being an optimist. I spit on the Ollie Optimists in our midst, feverishly attempting to deny anything is wrong, or that we are getting screwed, or that there is any hope for 'Murica or American Empire or the continuation of the Oil Age. To believe that we will see anything other than a 99% die-off as the world population increases as petroleum and natural gas drop in both net energy, EROI, and PER CAPITA global availability, is to believe in glittery unicorns and Santa Claus humping the Easter Bunny. Seven billion people sustainable by alternate energy is as likely as a Playboy Bunny swinging by to offer herself as my sex slave, as she delivers an arsenal of HK-91's with required amounts of ammunition.

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the THEORY of having Sugar Mamma's delivery their ill gotten spoils, and favors, into my greedy little hands, but boots on the ground have yet to ever find a surviving theory among the field of reality, ever. But Jim, you argue, choosing to ignore all the previous good I've done for humanity, isn't your stock in trade theories, as well? Not so fast, unicorn molester. I try to dispel CURRENT theory with old fashion reality. Those weren't theory. It ain't easy, pushing through the obstructing fog. Sometimes I may be off, but just by a smidge.

*

In other words, your theories blow and mine are SUPER! Enough about that. Today I want to talk about the up side of the country disintegrating. Not just the end game, a return to normalcy and rational life, but the upside currently. The good news is, as the American Empire is so blatantly impotent overseas that they are militarily defeated before they even start that we are just waiting for money to be an issue and then we return to splendid isolation once again, we are seeing for the first time a return to power to the states.

*

This is as obvious as can be, looking towards California, but I don't think we appreciate it. We just look at it in a negative light. “Oh, Dear Me, the Democrats are in charge of the electoral vote”. I complain about that all the time, myself. Nevada was one of the freer states in the Union, thirty years ago, and is now rapidly turning purple. It makes me want to puke, and believe me, if I had the technology I would be nuking Las Vegas and Carson City from orbit. Damn the end of Space Colonization!

*

Ah, but as easy as it is to despair, it must be remembered that decentralization doesn't respect political boundaries. If the feds can lose power to the states, the states can lose power to the counties ( at least in Nevada, I don't see a rapid dissolution from there, as most counties are already so depopulated that most entities below “county” are mere villages ). Not to mention that the Democrats are merely the other side of the coin, sharing the space with Republicans in the one true Imperial Party.

*

No, to me, “D” or “R” is merely an easier divide between cultures and economic classes. So let's not get bogged down in that and just use the Pretend Parties as a simplification to speed the conversation along. The Democrats are, or really, HAVE, won the economic war. They are mere Sanctuary Cities controlling the rest of the state. And if the trend is decentralization, and imperial dissolution, what pray tell is the future of the Democratic Party?

*

Really? You are going to make me say it? Fine-defeat. Not that they will go easy, but we'll be able to more easily remove them as their funding dries up. The Democrats are sexually ejaculating in ecstasy as they win Imperial control. But...the empire is dissolving. They think California dictating to the feds is power. In reality, that just means the next target during decentralization is the state itself. The cities might be able to vote for all the tax money, but as fewer and fewer people have jobs to tax, that means funding for the cities disappears.

*

The urban centers attracted the money, as agriculture and mining/forestry became commodities to the Internationalists, and that consolidated the power to the Globalists bitches. But the 9% elitist workers party also priced themselves out of affordability. Fine, you took over the city and hence the state. But the competition for those slots was so fierce, the cost of urban living became both a control mechanism for the elites, and a profit center. If your funding stalls at all, you will be kicked out of the city, broken and defeated.

*

The 90% have plenty of Hard Chargers who wish to join the 9% ( the 1% is closed off to outsiders. Sorry ). First, because power and wealth and second, that is the only middle class left. They will obviously stab their fellow peasants in the back to advance, and having done that have plenty of practice to use against their fellow 9%'ers. Whatever it takes to stay in the city, these idiots will do. Which is exploited by their elite handlers. Pay $4k a month for an apartment? Sure, no problem, give me a week to scam a poor humper on Social Security.

*

So, can you guess how these people are going to fare when the ongoing Liquidity Crisis goes overnight into a full on Economic Collapse? Not well. They have no resiliency against income stream disruption, trapped in an insane cost environment. Dependent on money to rule, the inability to rule is one economic meltdown away. These people are Bankers Bitches, controlling everyone through debt. Yet they themselves are equally a hostage. Silly 9%, money control is just for bankers. The entire enforcement mechanism is also bound up in financial control. Care to wager on the effectiveness of your LEO's when their pensions go tits up?

*

Remember, the last domino to fall in the power game is the banker. Before we get to grid down rioting in the streets, inflation will keep the system going even as it eliminates most players. And who is going to suffer first, those effected by inflation or those living in poverty to the point they are more able to live without much money at all? Everyone will suffer. That is not my point. I'm only saying that those 100% dependent in the cities are one paycheck away from failure, while those already living poor have a bit more resiliency.

*

Decentralization is not going to be pretty, but anyone up the food chain suffers more. As our money system fails, political power follows. Already the federals are insolvent and losing power to the states. The states gain politically but are even more reliant on the bankers ( pension funds, floating bonds for operating expenses ) and will oh so very quickly lose power along with financing. The power they hold today is conditional on the banking system. As that fails they must cede power to the counties. Once the counties lose funding, they lose the ability to hold power over the towns.

*

All this is indeed scary and portends to very little fun. But the upside is that our civil war could be won for us, by the bankers, unintentionally, before it goes Hot. So then, I guess the question becomes, do we survive the process?
