THE STATELESS KINGDOM
We are
about to learn as those who lived at the beginning of the 20th century learned,
that what we believed was a known known, we did not, in fact, know. What we
believed as a certainty now seems to be nothing more than a diversion by the
uncertainty principle.
For
example, though you, the reader, may disagree with me, you already know that for
any number of reasons, the history of the world and Europe
needs to be re-examined.
One of the
reasons for re-examination is because of Commissioners such as Viviane Reding
of the European Commission, who in spite of her lofty title, sees Europe as an old cliché. She is in a way right, except
that Europe is an old cliché that needs to be
rescued from itself—and not by Federalized Europe. Europe
will be rescued from walking into a dead end only when its history is put
right.
We are also
discovering these days that ‘democracy’ is not all it has been cracked up to
be, and that the notions of our ‘ancient’ forebears that the best form of
government is a government that creates no State is valid also for our time. It
is interesting to reflect that the stateless nation is only possible under a
King and when our planet is covered by a wood. The best of all possible States
is not an urban ‘democracy’ as the media of our day so volubly insists.
So, you ask, how does a stateless State govern itself?
I have
pointed out (in blog 276) that in those early times a self-governing community
lived more or less a nomadic life and eked out a living herding animals: elk,
reindeer, wild pigs, goats, and the like. Such a community governs itself. But
it ceases to govern itself the moment someone imposes on it taxes in animal
pelts. It is then that a community that heretofore has seen itself as a single entity,
its herd including, and has begged the forgiveness of its gods that if it must
kill one of its own, a red line is being crossed and one becomes a butcher.
They knew that even a single act has consequences, and a single kill may end
with chasing the herd over the edge of a cliff, where at the bottom stand
butchers who skins the animals yet alive. In short, as I see it, then and now,
the State is based on a foundation of the murder of living things, never on
self-sacrifice of government officials on behalf of the community or nation.
Of course,
the State takes all the credit for what it calls “growth” and “development”. But
to take credit and have no questions asked, the State has to lie. Therefore,
the State invents what we know as ‘historians’, aka liars of status.. Of
course, there are as always some exceptions http://edvan.fadeout.ch/v2/?customerId=30&channelId=189&broadcastId=1380.
Most everything else that existed before the State, historians leave it to
anthropologists.
Anthropologists
not only dig through ancient ruins, but they also try to reconstruct what life
might have been like at the time the ruins had live people move through their space
and ate from the dishes that have now turned into shards. Anthropologists also
analyze what is left of stories that are believed to be of ancient origin. Most
of these stories are known as myths of origin.
It is in
these myths that we look for evidence of what the people of ancient times
believed and the type of life these myths reflect. Most ancient myths leave us
some evidence that human sacrifice was a common practice in the past, even if
the story tells that the one who sacrifices is none other than God himself. This
brings up the question of why the stories reflect the notion that the sacrifice
of Gods is self-sacrifice, while reality shows us that self-sacrifice is a very
rare thing, but the usual form of sacrifice is of human beings who for some
reason or other have come under the control of whoever are the executioners.
Why do we
have this difference between story and physical evidence http://www.mexicolore.co.uk/images-ans/ans_15_01_2.jpg
? The answer is plain though it is rarely pointed out or given by
anthropologists.
The story
or myth that is told by shamans, magicians, wandering medicine men, or simply
story tellers originates in the imagination. The story teller imagines a just
outcome to the story of creation—in which the Creator expends the most unselfish
of His-Her energies—which is why it ends in the Creator’s total exhaustion.
As there is
never a shortage of stories with unhappy or tragic outcomes, the story-teller also
imagines God to atone for the misfortunes of creation and the loss of life or
injustice. On the other hand, when story meets up with reality, self-sacrifice
is much more difficult to accomplish and is, therefore, replaced by some painful
act. This is why the sacrificed Others, be they prisoners of war or criminals, is
always presented as part of a sacred event. It is only in a strictly secular and
‘democratic’ society that mass death is presented as a brutal act of butchery
that has no end to it until the human subconscious is subdued by ‘the Law’, an
entirely artificial entity and idealized justice unrelated to reality.
This is why
such genuine thinkers as the German legal mind of the 20th century
Karl Schmitt, and today the Slovakian social thinker Slavoy Žižak, for all
their genuinely humane qualities, ultimately end up supporting mass murder of
“homo sacer” as justifiable even if it is altogether ‘an exception’ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giorgio_Agamben
