300 years is a long time for a government structure to exist – we can reasonably expect the American experience to be substantially restructured at this time.
The most important attribute of any country is the personal liberty of its citizens. Liberated informed citizens can create any form of government that suits the collective demeanor of its people.[15] Citizens not at liberty will always, perforce, need to be repressed and suppressed and incarcerated by a governing structure that is attempting to remain viable when it has become outmoded.
The creation of a standing professional armed forces after WW 2 seems to be the demarcation to America’s loss of liberty and its reversion to the worst fears of our founders and all astute Americans especially, the much derided at the time of his presidency, the military genius Dwight Eisenhower. Powerfully, as all paradoxes operate, to save and preserve our
Unfortunately, professional armies attract and cathect organizations and a Lilliputian mesh of rules and regulations that stifle true innovation and initiative – the true elements of victory. Even
Very clearly,
The collective instinct that drives the military-industrial complex lies posited in humankind’s very instincts for survival and, as such, is far removed from our rational minds. The will to aggressively defend and attack becomes a self‑fulfilling and self-propagating process. As an experiment to investigate the power of your instinctual drives try not eating OR drinking anything for 3 full days. Such is the power of the reptilian brained military industrial complex we have created.

"A free society allows, encourages, and even depends on people who can define the values that give their lives meaning, and then pursue these values autonomously. It relies on people who are entrepreneurs in their own lives, who are capable of thinking for themselves, who have a sense of self-ownership, and the drive to make the most of themselves and their opportunities."

“American public opinion rejects the market economy, the capitalistic free enterprise system that provided the nation with the highest standard of living ever attained. Full government control of all activities of the individual is virtually the goal of both national parties.” Ludwig von Mises

[1] “The combat and instability would continue because its real source was the political contract struck between democracy and capital back in 1913, the implicit decision that democratic politics could not be trusted to act responsibly in the national interest. Therefore, the authority and responsibilities of elected politicians were permanently curtailed. Put another way, the elected government was allowed to be permanently irresponsible – free to indulge its own follies and protected from the accountability by the higher authority, the non-elected central bank. The creation of the Federal Reserve represented a great retreat from democratic possibilities. The maturing of self-government was forever stunted.” Pg. 534, Secrets of the
Gold At An "Inflation-Adjusted" $2,176
"In terms of today's dollars, gold reached $2,176 in 1980."
That eye-opening news comes from Larry Edelson of Weiss Research, and what he means here is that gold isn't just undervalued at today's price, it's a steal.
Edelson continues: "Even if it were to reach just half of its inflation-adjusted price, the yellow metal would zoom to more than $1,000 an ounce, a gain greater than 50% from today's level."

Author’s commentary – much more serious is the outdated idea of the military-industrial-Congressional complex that the Pacific strategy of WW 2 can be successfully used to accomplish present day American aims of protective worldly omnipotence.

This tells us that the current rise in commodities, gold and oil could last for another 15 years or so. But that doesn't mean they'll go straight up. There might even be a year or two of a decline during this upward path but if that happens, our major trend indicators will identify this so we can protect ourselves accordingly. The

[16] Iraq a 'work of art in progress' says U.S. general after 49 die
By Julian Borger, The Guardian, November 3, 2006
An American general in Baghdad called Iraq a "work of art" in progress yesterday in one of the most extraordinary attempts by the US military leadership to put a positive spin on the worsening violence.
On a day in which 49 people were killed or found dead around the country, Major General William Caldwell, the chief military spokesman, argued that
"Every great work of art goes through messy phases while it is in transition. A lump of clay can become a sculpture. Blobs of paint become paintings which inspire," Maj Gen Caldwell told journalists in
Comment -- I imagine that Major General William Caldwell thought that he was articulating a breadth of perspective that most journalists lack, yet what he conveyed was the insularity of a man who sits behind a desk and has more interested in trying to manipulate the way people think than he has in his own grasp of reality.
