Se-lu 23, sanctuary edition
Reviewing the SE-LU derivation:

Latin soluere comes from Indo-European se-lu, where se is the universal reflexive pronoun and lu is pull apart or untie. From soluere we have solution, solve, solvent.

The most common meaning is untying the knot of a problem. To solve a problem, you must LOOSEN YOURSELF first. Untie the hidden assumptions and habitual connections.

For many years I've been repeating the standard theme song of populism: A nation is a bounded region, just as an organism is a bounded region. Nations and organisms try to maintain their own form of order inside the boundaries, leaving chaos outside. Therefore, the ONLY job of a national government is to control the flow across borders. Halt invaders, control trade to increase INTERNAL order, control immigration to increase INTERNAL order.

The USA STRONG dysgovernment has abandoned all of these tasks. Instead of halting invaders we 'invade and invite'. We bomb every other country and then bring in the displaced populations of the countries we destroyed, forcibly implanting the migrants where they will exterminate the local Deplorables. We do the same with trade. Instead of restricting input to improve our own production, we forcibly invade ourselves with foreign-made shit to exterminate the local Deplorables.

Until now I've also been singing the chorus of the populist song: We should restore the original and natural functions.

SE-LU: Why bother?

Switzerland shows the way with its CITY-BASED referenda on admitting migrants. If Bern wants to be a sanctuary for Libyan leftovers and Luzern doesn't, let them make their own decisions.

We're already there in practice.

The problem is not the sanctuary cities; the problem is the infinitely evil setup of the Black-Robed Demons which FORCES the WORST decisions to go national. This is not in the old Constitution, and it's not even in the laws authorizing District Demons. It's a PURELY CRIMINAL ACTIVITY which nobody has the guts to stop. Without the black-robed demons, we'd already have the Swiss arrangement.

The same SE-LU applies to currency and banking, which is another of those supposedly national functions. There's NO REASON to have a national currency and there's WAY BEYOND NO REASON to have a central bank.

Since the development of the clearing-house process 800 years ago, banking has not required one currency for each nation. You do need some reliable and constant currency units, and it's more convenient when one currency covers a region that habitually trades together. The only serious requirement is that all the units must have a ground reference, which is traditionally gold. The non-Sorosian part of the world is VERY QUICKLY re-establishing this traditional arrangement. China and Persia and Russia are accumulating gold to use as a heavy ground plane for their national currencies.

This flexibility isn't new with blockchain or digital or even telegraphs. Old-fashioned banks keep enough physical cash for their own needs, in a form satisfactory to their own customers, but most transactions run WITHOUT ANY MOVEMENT OF REAL CURRENCY. This setup doesn't require instant communication. It does require some form of reliable and secure messenger service so the banks can reconcile their net debits and credits against counterparty banks, then transfer real currency to null each difference at the end of the month or quarter or year.

When all the corresponding banks agree to price their particular currencies against gold, the local currencies are open to all sorts of numerical proportions. Inflation in one city doesn't force inflation elsewhere, and doesn't need national adjustment. With less inertia and less clamping, values and interest rates tend to adjust automatically to local situations. This was the arrangement in USA until 1850 or so, and it worked reasonably well. It would work much better now with computers handling the arithmetic painlessly.

We EMPHATICALLY DON'T NEED national central banks. Central banks are hypercriminal exterminators of REAL VALUE.

The same SE-LU applies to tariffs and trade. In practice we're already there. Media demons mocked Sarah Palin for her familiarity with Russia, but she was simply describing the REAL SITUATION in border states. Alaska has been making its own treaties with Russia for a long time because Alaska and Russia share a border. Wash and Montana and ND and Minnesota and Michigan have been making treaties with Canada for a long time. The old Constitution explicitly forbids these treaties, but they happen because they WORK. Trade treaties work best when they're modular and minimal and bilateral.

In fact we've always been far more confederated and less national than the 1787 Constitution wanted us to be. The words of the 1787 Constitution make it possible for Deepstate to run division games against governors or counties that are on the UNFASHIONABLE side of these legalities, while ignoring states and counties that are on the FASHIONABLE side.

SE-LU. Untie the ropes. Let the confederation run loose. Eliminate the national government entirely. It is ABSOLUTELY FAILING at all of its assigned tasks, and simultaneously costing us trillions of dollars for the service of exterminating us.

It's not even an honest protection racket. It's a FRAUDULENT protection racket. A metaracket. The USA STRONG mob forces us to pay for protection against the violence of the USA STRONG mob, and then SLAUGHTERS us anyway. Hypercriminal.
