EYES ON THE PRIZE

It is easy getting overwhelmed here, as evil local politicians reenact the Russian Civil War, seeing who can be more tyrannical. But let's not forget the fundamentals. Excess energy equals centralization. Energy contraction first sees a centralized organization fail, then decentralized organizations takes its place. It is nothing more than different ecosystems taking over or failing due to climate change. You don't get to choose, Mother Nature does. The Constitution doesn't get to choose the type of government you get, but excess energy, and the battle between other colonial powers does.

*

Food First. It is how man organized himself, and no amount of superficial mechanisms placed between human actors changes that. It is how Nature is organized. It is how economies run. It is all about energy. Thermodynamics is a law even communist Politically Correct Bitches Lib idiots cannot break. They THINK they can, because excess energy. But taking over the control mechanism of the Industrial Oil Age and allowing robots to do the heavy labor doesn't mean Entropy is conquered. It just means the effects are hidden or temporarily halted. You can use millions of years of sunshine in petroleum to ATTEMPT to get the Earth to support eight billion people, but as soon as that excess energy is gone, it's reindeer island die-off time.

*

Fighting the last war, we are far too focused on the evils of the centralized state. We fear an organization that eighty years ago had the power of Stalin or Hitler behind it. But that war between giants was over the energy supply, and there were few enough people and enough energy that a 1984 government was able to feed itself. The draft was able to be enacted, gold was able to be confiscated. We were able to pave over wilderness.

*

Big Gov powered by Big Oil, Big Brother and all the fear of a colossus forced compliance. But Peak Oil wasn't just the end of the growth in oil production, it was the beginning of the end of the Colossus. We are so busy quaking in our Girl Scout boots over the overreaching evil of big government ( and believe you me, I'm just as guilty if not more so than anyone else ) that we don't take a moment to question how capable the Beast is of actually controlling us.

*

Think about the draft, either in an obvious poor excuse of a war such as WWI ( as if Krauts bayoneting Belgium babies was any of our concern, and really, realistically, how much did they deserve that, if it had been true, after Congo ) or as revenge. All it used to take to ensure near universal compliance was peer pressure. In Vietnam, when arguably we were still at almost the height of our power, it took riot troops and other law enforcement action to force men to show up for service ( yes, I'm aware more volunteered per capita in Vietnam than in WWII, but that was in response to inducements, I believe ).

*

Forcing men to serve in the draft got so bad that it was better to hide the governments weakness by abolishing the draft. And before you say it, we went whole hog on high technology weapons in Vietnam, with as poor of results as we see today. Computerizing weapons has zero to do with effectiveness and everything to do with necessity. It is hyped as 'Murica Winning, when we have done no such thing, outside Grenada. You could claim we won in Iraq, against a WWI enemy. I claim that we lost, as the Iraqi's merely went back to their normal tribes and the US bled treasure over there, against a fictitious nation state, for thirty years.

*

America is an empire. It is funded by oil, which has been in net energy decline for fifteen years. Here at home, we frail about, gnashing our teeth and wailing as if we were being held down and sodomized, when all we have seen is threats. Sure, a few weak individuals are wolf pack attacked, the exploits of our brave boys in blue splashed over the news to warn everyone what is in store for them should they dare open a retail business during Double Top Secret Lock Down, but by and large, discounting a few thousand targets a year out of 330 million people, the government is mostly ruling by bluff.

*

Don't think I'm discounting them as a threat. If you dare come too close to their iron rice bowl, if you even look like you'll get close enough to knock it over, a plague of locusts will descend upon you and quickly strip your flesh. But your odds of dying in an auto accident ( even now, as the Happy Pill Poppers going without their Chinese medicines are driving like complete friggin idiots ) far exceed the odds the government will hump you as long as you play things smart.

*

Big Picture, the government has LESS power, not more. This has been the trend for decades, and the less power they have the more they feel it necessary to overcompensate. Someone secure in their power doesn't need to keep lashing out at the innocent and powerless. We took the exact wrong lessons from Waco and Ruby Ridge. The government wasn't turning MORE tyrannical. They were becoming less effective at it. Now, instead of suppressing White Discontent, they merely import crack components and bribe White Females to do their fighting for them.

*

This is actually a sign of their weakness. They were NEVER shy about killing everyone who disagreed with them. When they wanted cheap commodity colonies, they killed American women and children. When they wanted more gold for the bankers, they starved off Indian women and children. When they wanted to control the world, they firebombed German and Japanese women and children. The government has never been shy competing with communists for kill counts. They just cannot do it as well as they used to. The trend is your friend. This is the trend.

*

Centralization is being starved, and the new ecosystem of decentralization takes over, one seed at a time carried in the wind invading the last system. Slowly, and with a seemingly high fatality rate. But casualties aren't the scorecard, progress is, less resilience of the old system is. This is me throwing you an optimistic bone here, people. You better grab it while you can. Take heart. We might not survive the process, but things are far better than they appear, in the great scheme of things.
