The reality is that we are torn between the anarchies of desire and the tyrannies of judgement. The head and the heart.

Government, as executive and regulatory function, is the nervous system, while money and banking serve as blood and the circulation system.

The problem is that with public government and private banking, the banks rule, since they are subject to less oversight and control the finances of anyone daring to run for public office.

Consequently it has reached the point the only jobs the flunkies allowed in office have, is running up the debt the banks need to back their assets.

in effect, the military industrial complex is the trophy wife of the banks. An undebatable burn pit for the debt, so more can be borrowed.

Now the stage actors have devolved into sociopaths, because they might wield enormous power, but have no real moral responsibility and authority. Basically delinquent children with matches and gasoline to play with.

As the government is the decision making function, neutering it and leaving the appetites of the rich as the deciding factor, the dynamic has all the strategic aptitude of bacteria racing across a petri dish.

When the medium enabling markets is privately held, we are all just tenant farmers to the banks. It's like the heart telling the hands and feet they don't need so much blood and should go suck dirt.

So we will either move onto banking as public utility, or we will have to go back to government as a privately managed service, to rope in the oligarchs, much as China and Russia have done, with Xi and Putin as respective CEO's.
