This type of justice is only possible if there is no domination exercised that is setting different agendas. Sovereignty, therefore, is one of the most important factors of civilization that must never be undervalued. Without it any civilization cannot long survive, our present civilization included. Indeed, sovereignty is the primary principle that the free-trade process was invented for to erase. It takes aim at a people's right to determine its standard of living, and its ability to protect itself. One must never forget that free-trade, as an official policy, was first set up by Adam Smith as an instrument for destroying the sovereignty of the newly created United States of America after its independence from the British Empire was won on the battle field. Free-trade was intended to achieve economically, what the Empire had failed to achieve on the battle field, to take away the nation's sovereignty by treaty, and, then, to bankrupt it economically. This it did, with great success.
In the infinite system of economy, however, money isn't wealth. It is an instrument for exchange of value. The wealth lies in that which raises civilization, which improves people's lives, which increases the productivity of its labor, which puts food on the table and shoes on the feet. The oligarchy, on the other hand, has employed money to break the sovereignty of nations, to break their development and their prosperity. This process is strongly apparent in the 12th century as the financial empires turned their money into a rentable estate with which they squeezed blood out of a people's economy. This process totally collapsed the world-financial system in 1345, and the same process is doing it again.
What really happened to national sovereignty in those early days, as sovereignty it is much talked about today, while so little of it is translated into action? The answer is, that the concept of sovereignty did not exist in the 12th century. Its principle hadn't been discovered. As a consequence, the economies of the time were unprotected against oligarchic domination. The natural response of any empire, the British Empire included, is to destroy the idea of national sovereignty at any cost in order that oligarchic domination may continue unabated. The destruction of the financial sovereignty of the nation of Mexico, for instance, has enabled the free flow of imperial looting that has destroyed that nation, like so many other nations. The Mexican economy is largely dead, today, as a functioning structure. Even its people are in the process of being destroyed, for a people cannot exist without a functioning economy.
In one way or another, the world has come to the end of an era by the force of the growing insanities that rule, many of which are evidently intentionally induced for destructive purposes that a tiny imperial minority benefits from. With the bankruptcy of the ruling system and overturning has begun that no one can stop. In this overturning the greatest opportunities in history unfold that can revolutionize the world if people are willing and have the wisdom to take hold of the moment and the opportunities it presents. The wisdom for this, however, is by no means guaranteed. It needs to be systematically created.
One prominent feature of humanity is its slowness in learning its history and drawing conclusions from it. That is why there will always be a gap between the perception of its pioneers and that of society. However, when this gap becomes artificially increased by flooding public consciousness with trivia and counteracting ideologies, alarm bells should ring. The loss of sovereignty is one of the symptoms. The loss of sovereignty, and mental, and economic devolution, come as a package. They are imposed together and accepted together.
The death of Sovietism in Russia in the late 1980s, presented the greatest opportunity for progress in recent history. It opened the door to a possible renaissance by a continent wide economic development commitment which could have uplifted the standard of all people on the Eurasian continent, and possibly the world. But this did not happen. As soon as the curtain fell the imperial package was speedily imposed. In the vacuum that was created by the fall of the communist empire, the IMF stepped in with its austerity insanity, and its enforcement of conditions that enable the international 'investors' to loot the country dry.
