A New Declaration of Independence

 The most pressing question facing this planet today is just this. How did the United States of America founded upon the principle that all men are created equal become a captive of a financial oligarchy pursuing global wars on that very oligarchy’s behalf? Since Alexander Hamilton influenced the farewell address of George Washington with the adamant precaution of not ensnaring us in foreign wars and Abraham Lincoln pronounced that this reunited nation is of, by, and for the people, we have indeed become ensnared in forever neocolonial conflagrations and become a nation of a false would be elite.

The power of a new conceptual constitutional framework for the republic must not be diminished. For it is in the tale of Socrates demonstrating to the Athenian oligarchy that a “mere” slave boy was inherently capable of recapitulation of the most profound knowledge of current Pythagorean geometry through a method of questioning the tenets of proof of a higher order than the fixed relationships of the Hellenic society. But Plato did not succeed in bringing about such revolutionary necessary change to the fallacious structure of that society. However, the principle of reason endured because it’s universal application was required to advance humanity.

Today, we stand amidst a terrible choice of two possible pathways much as Dante Alighieri describes in his fictional account of being in a deep woods in his Commedia. The one path is of hell on earth of war, scarcity, starvation, and evolving pandemics coupled with the new age technological games as soporifics as we descend into oblivion and annihilation. The other path is a cleansing reorganizing purge of the false monetary and arbitrary rules based global immiseration of illiquid worthless debt to be followed with a climb to the summit of human achievement in improving standards of living. This includes food, energy, healthcare, material infrastructure, education and the resurrection of the aspirations of humanity to emerge as a species off this lonely and imperiled blue orb of habitation we will sing of in future epics as our onetime home.
