When we come to the final and perfect association, formed from a number of villages, we have already reached the polis - an association which may be said to have reached the height of full self-sufficiency; or rather we may say that while it grows for life, it exists for the sake of a good life.
- Aristotle Politics Book I Chapter 2
Welcome, dear readers, to the long form at the end of the series examining the Polis power structure of the USSA, how it functions, and roughly how it stands up geopolitically against the world.
For new readers, this will be a summation, expansion, and linking of previous posts into one long form post. It will assume reading of those previous posts, but link to them should you need it.
The Polis is In
To begin with, we looked A People being the Polis. That is, that a Polis is 1) A nation built upon blood ties that - 2) acknowledges they are bound by blood and 3) is self governing towards becoming so.
Thus, the Scots are a nation. The Cherokee are a nation. The Britons were a nation.
This may sound simple, but it has profound ramifications for our modern day life in America and Europe. Because, as one ponders it - most of the Western population does not belong to a Polis. They either do not have a group that they belong to, they do not acknowledge that they belong to such a group, they do not see the importance of such a group, they have moved away from any such group, or they simply don’t see that this is of any importance.
And thus, they have been divided and have been conquered.
You see, my argument is that we already have been conquered as individuals. I almost wrote “as a people” but, the argument is specifically that we’re not a people. Westerners insist on individuality, and the freedom that makes them easy to enslave.
Thus, we are ruled by Empires. The Empire of the USSA here is ruled by the DC Polis, with it as the One Polis To Rule Us All - with others influencing that Polis in it’s choices and outcomes. In Europe it’s Brussels and the EU, with DC, London, and Paris having a great deal of say in outcomes.
We see this these days with Trump’s conviction. The Polis of DC and NYC colluded together to a predetermined outcome that would affect domestic rule of the Empire, as well as geopolitical decisions across the world.
Because, as we continue to see, DC doesn’t care what Podunk towns in Ohio, Michigan, or Montana think.
It hardly cares what entire countries in Asia think. Or continents, like South America and Africa. It will do what it wants, and keep blathering on towards whatever it deems in its best interest.
So, a little (or a lot) of inflation hurting you doesn’t matter to DC if it helps them pay debts.
The border being wide open and destroying local polities, workers wages, and rising crime is great to the DC Polis.
All your ills, every stone loading you down, is a bonus to them. Your enslavement is their reward. And, the fact that other Polities also want this is an added bonus.
The Artificial Polities Within
The nature of citizenship in general emerges clearly from these considerations; and our final definitions will accordingly be: 1) ‘he who enjoys the right of sharing in deliberative or judicial office attains thereby the status of a citizen of his state’, and 2) ‘a state, in its simplest terms, is a body of such persons adequate in number for achieving a self-sufficient existence.’
- Aristotle Politics Book III Chapter 1
Which brings us to a second part of what makes the Empire of the USSA so fragile - while actively destroying any chance the folk have at creating a Polis and seeking their own good, DC elevates and listens to Polities that they have allowed to be artificially created - the Artificial Polity.
Within the laws of the Empire, starting with the Railroad Companies, the Supreme Court began ruling that companies were people with Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad Co., 118 U.S. 394 (1886), leading up to the most recent Citizens United ruling.
I would argue that, previous to these rulings, it is abundantly clear in law, fact, and custom that the owners and workers had just claims in law and ability to negotiate with State Governments, Businesses, and even up to the government. The very fact that the case came up to the Supreme Court shows this.
However, contrary to what the legislation says, I would argue that the reality of what is achieved with the legislation is the creation of artificial polities. These polities negate the need for the first clause of a natural polity - that of blood - instead forming their bonds simply by service to the company or entity. They still need the other two requirements - to know that they are of one people, and to govern themselves.
It becomes clear that large companies do exactly this - the robber barons of previous eras as well as the large conglomerates of today. From the start, in Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad Co, they were immediately elevated over the ability of counties and States to regulate, and subject only to the power of the Polities in DC and federal law enforcement, selectively applied.
This meant, that as power grew within the company, those workers within it that were important enough could violate laws at their pleasure if they were ok with giving blackmail material to other actors when caught. Again, we see some of this playing out in our modern era, with the suspicious timing of the prosecution of individuals being taken down at times they cross specific lines. And, in cases such as the crash of ‘08, certainly no one of any importance getting taken down.
We, instead, have companies such as Tesla whose head can influence laws in the Empire at home, negotiate with all of Europe, determine mining policies and slave practices for his battery metals in Africa, barter car sales with China…
Or Bill Gates, who owns approximately 242,000 acres of farmland in the United States. While not much in comparison to world wide availability, he’s a major supplier of McDonald’s potatoes for fries, and soy for a wide variety of food, and thus able to affect low income diets if he ever is able to get his food based mRNA vaccine. In addition, he regularly muscles around governments all over the world with his various NGO’s. This is to say nothing of whatever backdoors he has installed in Microsoft products, littered all over government facilities world wide.
Hollywood makes up another good example of an artificial Polis. Able to police its own, these pedos have been able to push whatever morality and subversion into the minds of the Empire for years. Aided by Usury, the local stations have been bought out and pushed to the side, able to destroy locality in the same way Clearwater has in radio. An easy example is Disney, pushing destruction of fatherhood and the family, then racial agendas, feminism, sodomy, and now the trans agenda. Hollywood was on the front lines for Communism, and has always been a messed up, perverted, actor on the global stage that was able to export the Empire’s propaganda as it saw fit.
We should do a quick examination of the FBI, and other federal law enforcement agencies. These are, perhaps, the most nefarious artificial polities. They are the Strong Arms of the swamp that makes up the District of Columbia - enforcing that Polity’s will not just across the Empire domestically, but abroad. Once one gains membership to these polities, one can Do No Evil. There is no accountability, until one is a useful pawn to be thrown away, discarded, in the great game. These Polities seem to be somewhat answerable to DC, but also hold a good bit of blackmail over them as well; so it’s a give and take relationship. DC gives some concessions of money/power, and in return gets items pushed through, an enemy warned, some blackmail material handed over, a person prosecuted selectively, a foreign actor quashed, or a color revolution begun.
This, obviously, is not an exhaustive list. The Supreme Court is it’s own, the military industrial complex, the CIA, Blackrock, etc.
But, in an Empire with no Natural Polities, the Artificial Polity gave it a temporary boost both domestically and abroad.
Domestically, it was able to craft more cohesion and ties for the ambitious men and women that wanted power and money. Then, using those, it gave them a purpose within the confines set by the governing Polis of the Empire in order to increase material wealth and power while the Empire still had an Industrial base. Even afterwards, it held things together for longer than many would have expected; able to strong on the populace into compulsion while rewarding those it favored.
Abroad Internationally, these Artificial Polities gave an added boost that were able to manipulate various foreign bodies quickly and easily; with the added benefit of deniability to the government of the Empire. Look to the hollowing out of Russia after the fall of the USSR. The complete parasitical relationships set by individual companies to get foreign materials and wealth from various countries with no accountability.
However, these Artificial Polities came at a cost. Long term, there seems to be a great loss of cohesion within the USSA Empire. The DC Polity has lost the ability to manage most of the Polities it now governs, particularly the law enforcement agencies and MIC. With the hollowing out of natural Polities, these Artificial ones, never made up of citizens with actual blood relations to a central stock - like say the Romans wanted senators to be from the city of Rome until the crisis of the Third Century - they feel no loyalty to DC. The reins are off, and the marauders are rampaging while the fires burn around the Empire.
Foreign Polities Within Our Borders
A citizen proper is not one by virtue of residence in a given place: resident aliens and slaves share a common place of residence. Nor can the name of citizen be given to those who share in civic rights only to the extent of being entitled to sue and be sued in the courts. This is a right which belongs also to aliens who share its enjoyment by virtue of a treaty; though it is to be noted that there are many places where resident aliens do not enjoy even this limited right to the full.
- Aristotle Politics Book III Chapter 1
This Crisis will not be aided by the fact that we have Foreign Polities within the borders of the Empire.
Some of these we have out in the open and, for a long time, actually celebrated. Every China Town we see in cities large enough to support them. Especially on the West Coast, there’s areas large enough for distinct populations of not just Chinese, but to break down into other ethnicities such as Korean.
We have, also, imported enough refugees that Somalian populations make a Polity large enough to make a difference in Minnesota politics locally, with Ilhan Omar as its the representative influencing the national politics in DC
In the South West, I would argue that we easily have enough Cartel influence to constitute a Polis. That this Polis likely makes back room deals with local officials at the minimum at present, certainly border officials, and is responsible for the lack of any movement forward on the fentanyl and border issue.
I know that the Chinese, Russian, and other countries are legally involved with marijuana growing within our borders. That they influence our legislation. That they push out local competition through regulatory capture. That they likely put the money to use in things other than marijuana. I know that most localities that have legalized marijuana have seen increases in illegal growing and trading, and have heard stories of packages falling off dump trucks in the street, just to name one.
This, as with the the artificial polities, is not an exhaustive list.
However, unlike the Artificial Polities, there is not a single positive thing to be gained from foreign Polities acting within the Empire’s borders. All it is, is a sign of the decline of the USSA Empire. That we cannot police ourselves. That the elites and governing body with the Polis in DC that governs the Empire are bought out, corrupt, incompetent, or all of the above.
What it also means is that, should things kick off here domestically, it will get much more chaotic, much faster, than most people expect.
Artificial Empire vs Natural Polities
Because it is the completion of associations existing by nature, every polis exists by nature, having itself the same quality as the earlier associations from which it grew. It is the end or consummation to which those associations move, and the ‘nature’ of things consists in their end or consummation; for what each thing is when its growth is completed we call the nature of that thing, whether it be a man or a horse or a family.
- Aristotle Politics Book 1 Chapter 2
In contrast to the West, the East seems to be much more aligned with the natural law and order outlined by Aristotle in terms of how society is structured. Starting with families, growing to tribes, villages, and then a Polity; the East seems to still have a sense of itself and its history much more than the West does.
And, when we see the East and West Go Toe to Toe, we see the West in full retreat.
While most readers here may only know of Ukraine and Israel as current fronts within World War 3, there are multiple areas in which the West and its proxies are being driven out. All across Africa, France and the USSA have been giving up military bases on a regular basis, turning them over to the natives or, more commonly, to Russia instead. This has occurred ever since South Africa’s end of Apartheid, yet has drastically picked up in the last several years.
The acceleration coincides with several things that many may use to write off my Polity thesis - military losing its strength, dollar inflation, push of sodomy, usurious loans, etc. However, I would state that those are precisely the outcome of Polities acting for their own, independent goods outside of a central governing body. The MIC pushes war, but is influenced by companies, banks seeking margin over winning, Hollywood weakening moral strength and vitality of enemies, etc.
Opposed to this, we have real Polities, with homogeneous people that love themselves, their religion, and their culture.
They may have been under the boots of Empire for a time, but with the Weakening of the Artificial Nation let them begin to throw the boot off. Especially with the aid of Russian and China, in the middle of WW3, this has accelerated. As the decline continues, I am sure that this will as well, and that the Empire and the EU will lose access to overseas resources that it currently enjoys.
This seems to have occurred because the Empire of Lies began really believing it’s own lies told to the populace - that it is an artificial nation and the best on earth. This is impossible, but it believed it to be so, just as at the end of Rome and every other large Empire, the Empire became the only important thing.
However, there is no strength without ties to the locale, the Polity. What man will march to war without a love back home? A love of a song that is his own home land’s? A local style of music that is their own? Beer known just for their own? Hills that he dreams of going back to after the war, that he dreams of protecting? Of starting a home on, a family, a business - building a place within his family, clan, village, Polis?
And this, my dear readers, is why a 13 year old with an AK is willing to fight a trained soldier. Why mothers and daughters will send sons to war against the USSA, hide strangers in their homes despite strict propriety social norms, and why the West is in decline world wide.
The lack of Religion in the West has no answer to the devout love of the East.
The culture Hollywood pushes is rejected in the East
We export Usury, Sex, Sodomy, and Abortion.
To countries that have real goods, services, people, Polities, cultures, and want nothing to do with what we have on offer.
So, they rightfully reject it, reject us, and want nothing to do with it. Those within our borders have come for economic gain, but seem to often reject the above as often as not, thus posing a problem should we have internal difficulties.
In Conclusion
If we adopt as true the statements made in the Ethics 1) that a truly happy life is a life of goodness lived in freedom from impediments, and 2) that goodness consists in a mean - it follows that the best way of life is one which consists in a mean, and a mean of a kind attainable by every individual. Further, the same criteria which determine whether the citizen-body have a good or bad way of life must also apply to the constitution; for a constitution is the way of life of a citizen-body.

As far as I can see, the Empire will collapse. It is merely a matter of when. And, as stated - as Polity is made of those tied by blood. That means, dear readers, that anyone acting today in the lands of America cannot, by definition, have a Polity during the collapse of Empire.
War is coming.
However, in these exciting times, one can be involved in founding a Polity. One can find those of similar values, band together, and weather the storm. Through intermarriage, the bloodlines will come.
You have, at this moment, the opportunity offered to few. You get to decide whether to be one of the ones to found a new Polity, to debate the values. To begin it’s culture. To, through your and your children’s’ actions, add to its myths, its stories, its songs, its dance.
This is true whether you love the Empire, and want it to flourish and last, or want to weather the storm of its demise. You can legally, peacefully, gather with those around you in either case.
Humanity has not given the West such options for 300 years or more.
What will you do with it?
