Constants and variables 104, sneaky Soros edition
A sneaky article by pseudo"independent" Brandon Smith. He tries to defend the Sorosian Deepstate by pointing out that the Russia-China side is also forming alliances, which means it's also globalist.
Well duh. Alliances are the WHOLE POINT.
In business or in politics, size isn't the worst problem. Monopoly is the worst. Large-scale operations perform some tasks better, small-scale operations are better sometimes.
When one entity, like Amazon or USA STRONG, has ALL the power, it operates without any sort of limits or boundaries. There are no fences, no feedback, no error correction, no laws, no modules. ALL business and ALL political power follows the UNIVERSAL WILL of EXACTLY ONE MIND. Small businesses and small countries have no choice. They must surrender totally to the single power.
Before 1989 the world had two major powers, each supporting a genuinely different set of values. Small countries didn't have to surrender. They could play both sides for favors. Some chose to align strictly with one side, but each side had "semi-satellites" as well as total satellites.
In other words, we have constants and variables. We have a pretty good controlled experiment on a world that hasn't drastically changed in population and technology. Before 1989, balance created a better and more PEACEFUL order, with more room for modularity. After 1989, one system controlled everything, leaving no space for alternate views. USA STRONG has even exceeded the normal mob mentality of
obey or die. We force obedience, then we kill anyway. See Libya and Iraq and Afghanistan.
Now the Silk Road side is forming a new set of alliances, a new large-scale entity, which is already fully capable of balancing the Soros side commercially (see Persia), and is learning to balance militarily (see Syria.)
