Her path like her embodiment was both a mystery and a revelation. One could feel her at a distance. One cleaved to her pace and power of walk, as by necessity. There were many who strove to unite with her, many who gave up their lives doing so. Millions has she been betrothed to, as many forsaken by. Call her queen, call her empress, call her goddess or by her common name, call her Liberty.

Sweetness one can describe only after having been touched by her. Austerity only one who has sacrificed for her can declare known. Find the way to her, come man and come woman, come child and come animal, come all natural creations. Tarry not though for she journeys.

Author’s Note: “Nation Taking As Extreme Politics” is an essay examining the process by which nations are being stripped of their autonomy by various forms of geopolitical, military and economic weapons. Using primarily NATO’s effort to take total possession of Yugoslavia as an example, the reader will be shown the stark brutality of technobarbarism and the rise of global fascism as an economic world model.

This essay is dedicated to the men, women and children of Yugoslavia, who, despite their suffering and loss, still strive for a united nation built upon the foundation of representative law making. Ultimately, it is in this process, that liberty is inherited and freedom preserved anywhere on Earth. I invite every person who supported NATO’s bombing of Yugoslavia to see this undeclared war and “nation taking” from another point of view.—Zoh M. Hieronimus, January 13, 2000

The ruins of Kosovo are, for me, a sorry symbol on the lid of the 20th century. When the corporate state underwrites the destabilization of a nation through its government contractors, and then facilitates, through loans and hiring contracts, the rebuilding or takeover of the demolished territory and its economy, neither our laws nor our governments offer sanctuary. Yet, those subject to this megalithic global oppression have not identified the nature of this system that is attacking all nations simultaneously. As a member of the media, I believe if the media would shine a light on this insidious for-profit death economy, as evidenced in the U.S.’s drug war or NATO’s international wars, humanity would rise up and insist upon the creation of a life economy, or one that would value all life on Earth above all else.

NATOSLAVIA —THE NATION TAKEOVER

The occupation of Yugoslavia by NATO in 1999 is an example of modern day imperialism. It is a demonstration of “nation taking”, much like a corporate takeover. Nation taking, like some corporate buy-outs, is a form of brutish lawlessness, in this case militarized corporatism. It is a form of global seizure. Those in power have been selling off the nationstate; in some cases they sold out by privatizing state functions and infrastructures, and in others by militarizing the community in order to diminish sovereign liberties.

Nation’s Have Destinies

Love of nation is not archaic, in fact our times demand it. For nations like humans have destines, though ours is being abandoned, and other nation’s destinies ransacked. America is a Constitutional Republic, while we do not yet embody the principles that configure our design, nor do we any longer adhere to the process of representative government as intended, it remains our task to restore the nation’s purpose, as a sacred one, a hermetic undertaking in freedom.

The Nation is not a utility, but a collective of soul’s unfoldments, a nation created through the self governed, rather than the governed over. The many unfolding the one. Like coherent light, nation can integrate the various peoples under a common law, into an ethical and potentially virtuous society, if adhered to. This is a spiritual reality, not just a philosophy. To manifest our highest purpose as a communion between the self governed, requires that all personal and government action be evaluated in the context from which our authority flows, both human and divine, set against the constitution, the supreme law of our land. It is the Nation’s sacred system by which freedom is supported and evolution of the city state secured, to that of realized Nation, holy citizen in sacred city, conscious of their destiny, Shamballa on earth.
