Federalism?

I'm not sure that a collection of thieves and psychopaths finding the best ways to loot the wealth of others can be framed as federalism or even (misguided and ignorant) socialism?  Some people even seem to think that the banksters, multinational corporations and globalists deciding on the next wars and so on are capitalists, yet they are not.

Archaic, back when people were interested in some semblance of rule of law:

Federalism is a political concept in which a group of members are bound together by covenant (Latin: foedus, covenant) with a governing representative head. The term "federalism" is also used to describe a system of government in which sovereignty is constitutionally divided between a central governing authority and constituent political units (such as states or provinces). Federalism is a system based upon democratic rules and institutions in which the power to govern is shared between national and provincial/state governments...  --Wikipedia

Also archaic, back when people were interested in trying to have organic roots nationalistic rule:

Fascism (play /ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a radical authoritarian nationalist political ideology.   Fascists seek to unify their nation based on commitment to a nation state where its individuals are united together as one people through their national identity. The unity of the nation is to be based upon suprapersonal connections of ancestry and culture through a totalitarian state...  --Wikipedia

  I'm not sure what you would call rule by "too big to fail" thieves and essentially financial criminals looting the value out of everything in sight of their all seeing eye, though.  It's not like they have some sort of commitment to their nation state or have an interest in the structure of "federalism" in it either.  As far as "red states" that are supposedly against it all go, they'll probably have to put on their "red coats" to support the financial empire of thieves and criminals soon.  It's not as if Obama Inc. is going to hold them accountable and Romney Inc. probably needs the private banking cartel to print more money so that he can pay more defense contractors.  Too bad they never found that 2 Trillion that Rumsfeld said they lost in order to get more money for better computers, isn't it?

You couldn't write this stuff based on your imagination.  To summarize, people like creating chains of events which lead to their own death... and that's about all that can be said of them.

Still waiting on the ruling classes "closed source" pyramidal structure of information and "threat matrix" to decide that they need to be assassinated for aiding and abetting "the base"/Al Qaeda against the Russians in Afghanistan or Gaddafi in Libya, though.  It's all for our safety and security without any principles of liberty and justice at all in mind, of course.  Which is why we're all a long way from even the "red coats" fighting for the financial empire of their day having their day in court among the colonial barbarians and "terrists."  

We've already been told, those who put their own safety and paper ponzi above sacred principles like liberty and justice deserve neither safety nor jobs anyway.  Yet people want their 401Ks to go up and they're happy if they have jobs created by defense contractors based on paper ponzi that loots what little wealth the poor have left and so on.  So that's that.... this never ends well.  It can't, no more than destruction and death is the equivalent of creation and wealth.
