One of the dangers that humanity is facing is the universal destruction of the sovereign nation-state, which is to be replaced with oligarchic domination and fascist elitism, and a global policy for the dramatic 'depopulation' of the planet through starvation and poverty, together with a recolonialization of the remnant of humanity.
The opportunity presents itself in this age for mankind to rededicate itself to the very principles on which its current existence if founded, the sovereign nation-state, as a governmental infrastructure for creating and protecting scientific, cultural, and technological progress as a guarantee for freedom, and for a future free from want, toil, and slavery.
The situation that the world finds itself in, today, portents enormous changes, no matter which direction we go. The status quo is dead no matter what happens. All the familiar arrangements of the past are ending. What happens in the near future will alter the world as we know it. So much is certain. Only the specific date is unknown, and direction in which this change will occur. These remain yet to be determined.
This age is not a time to be asleep. The time has come to ask ourselves: Why do we have created nation-states at all? What is their purpose? What have they achieved for humanity? Could we have a future without them? Could we even survive without them? If these questions are being asked in the very near future, mankind has hope. There is hope that the fundamental principles of 'metaphysics' are implemented by which the human intellect raises the physical platform of human living once again on the foundation of the sovereign nation-state that brings together the means for a society to realize its inner scientific and technological potential in which its riches are founded, and its security is established, even its life.
The nation-state is foremost an economic union, forming a common sphere within which people have chosen to work for their common existence, dedicated to the common advance in standards of living, culture, and security. Today, this platform is under attack to be destroyed.
The commercial pricing structures within the nation-state, is for the protection and the progress of the nation. The platform of free-trade and the platform of the nation-state are contrary to each other. In a free nation, the society's physical production is sold at prices that combine a range of factors that are unique to the individual nation, that reflect the standards the nation has set for itself, its development goals, and its geographic conditions. In a free nation, infrastructure costs are included in the pricing structure, and so are the nation's health-protection needs and other social safety-nets, even a certain level of taxation income for the government, is included. In a free-trade nation the pyramid is turned upside down. The free-trade process imposes a pricing competition that rips apart the sovereign right of a people to protect themselves, that forces the lowest standard on the planet upon all people.
Since a nation must necessarily established itself on a high standard, with commitments to long term continuous development, a modern nation cannot operate on slave-wage standards, even if it wanted to. Any nation that is founded on slave-wage standards must necessarily disintegrate. Since the free-trade process has been globalized under GATT, its disintegrative effects are seen globally, today, as a natural consequence Under the free-trade process, infrastructure costs can no longer be met. The principle of sovereignty becomes abolished. Sovereignty dies when free-trade is enthroned, and the nation dies as a consequence.
Sovereignty is essential for justice.
The fundamental platform of justice is that a person or nation is just to itself.
