Organizing for Crisis

The previous discussion explored the President's proposal to "organize for America." So, then, what exactly has America been organized for?

America is organized for crisis. Specifically, liquidity crisis.

Managing crises is our working, practical, existential model. It is the means by which the elite gain the legitimacy of power. In the case of America, it is a legitimacy of power beyond the concept of who is legally sovereign. It is, however, inferred from the "natural law" argument that some are more fit to rule than others, and they will "naturally" take power and rule, especially as a result of crises. Thus, we have the ruling class operating with an organized ascendancy and conservation of the means of power--cyclical crises.

Without liquidity crises, the system fails the elitist model. In the current case, we see our administrative elite, both public and private, acting in concert to provide the liquidity (the trickle-down legitimacy) missing from the system. The result is a budget deficit that can only be described as "gymongous!"

Where did all that liquidity go? Was it ever there to begin with or is it just a phantom phenomenology of our minds, a Jungian apparition of existential gestalt, or a real angst of materialistic expression?

Why do we organize for liquidity crisis? If we did not want it, we would not be organized for it, right?

Liquidity crisis is a technical tool of an organizational technology...it is the hammer that hits the nail that builds the house, and so on.... It is what builds the systemic risk and the elusive liability of who "takes" the risk. Legitimately, it should be whoever "makes" it, but the corporate is organized, consolidated, to make, but not take, the risk.

The "reason" for liquidity crisis is purely technical. It is a technique for politically and economically managing risk-to-reward.

Liquidity is the tool that authors, or builds, the risk into the rewards of wealth and power.

In order to "organize for America" it is necessary to authenticate the risk.
