state.noun,.plural.states
a condition
or mode of being,
as with regard to circumstances;
a situation; a status (there's a
new state now); state of affairs; standing (what is our state in the economy
now?); a position (we are now in a new position); place The place we are
in in looking positive); realm; supposed
to be collective.public
power expressed constitutionally,
governing.politicians
elected to represent.(re-present)
publically approved ideas; a sovereign
political entity, that being the
area within which the political entity extends; in actuality.however
and by observing decisions made inimical
to the highest values of people residing with the realm
of so many decisions' effects, one can easily ascertain
that the power is not whatsoever
in the hands of the electorate;
In 1935, Albert
J. Nock published Our Enemy, The State,
his classic.treatise
on how successive.governments.conspire
to increase the power of the State by stealthily
decreasing the power of We
The People. Nock bluntly
describes the State as the common enemy of all industrious
and decent men, a controlling bully
that operates through deception
and threats. This is a damning.observation,
even more true now in 2022 than it was 89 years ago
The Irish State, according
to James Joyce, is."the
old sow that eats her farrow".
The State is contrived to devour the wealth of its people and to stifle
their freedoms and individual sovereignty. The outcome of this great villainy
is austerity, poverty, servitude, suicide, eviction, emigration, bank bailouts,
unnecessary taxation and myriad injustices and hardship, all leading to
compromised health and early death for many people.
'State' and 'Government'
are terms often used interchangeably but this is not entirely accurate.
'State' is more an abstraction, a nonphysical entity, while 'Government'
is a collection of people.
The Oxford English Dictionary
defines 'State' as: "an organized political community under one government;
a commonwealth; a nation."
Max Weber describes 'The
State' as: "a compulsory political organization with a centralized government
that maintains a monopoly of the legitimate use of force within a certain
territory."
Yet Murray Rothbard forthrightly
defines the 'State' as "the organization of robbery systematized and writ
large". In other words, the State is a huge mafia organization and the
government is its 'wiseguys' – hoodlums who are paid to enforce a plethora
of 'laws' and to steal as much from the people as they can. The State,
through the muscle of government, is but a glorified 'protection racket'
run by the few to fleece the many.
So, if the government merely
functions as mafia 'wiseguys', who then are the Godfathers?
The Godfathers are a small
but all-powerful cabal of international banksters operating in the shadows
behind the façade of the State. While governments may come and go,
these omnipotent crooks are always in the background, scheming, grasping
and controlling. They maintain their 'death grip' on the people by directing
the activities of subservient governments. Those politicians whom they
cannot bribe or cajole, they threaten, blackmail or destroy.
