One of many fixes that the USA needs if it is to survive.

The Sunset Amendment

- Preamble

For far too long, our Congress has passed far too many laws, with far too many of these laws being direct infringements upon the rights of each American citizen. These laws are too numerous and too long. And the volume of American federal law poses many problems.

1. Redundancy and excessive complexity: There are laws against assault, and then laws against “hate crimes”, which include assault. There may be one law for a specific crime, but then the penalties were amended in 3 subsequent laws. Circumstances like this make it near impossible for a regular American to perform the due diligence required to understand the laws that he may be subject to and must obey. If every single American must understand hundreds of years of often contradictory laws that often reference each other, then it is unreasonable to expect Americans to understand that law, let alone abide by it.

2. Undermining our Legal process and confidence therein: With such an impossibly long list of laws that are considered “in effect”, it becomes inevitable that some laws become forgotten and cease to be enforced. These laws cease being culturally, legally, or politically relevant, yet remain legal in all official contexts. This creates multiple corollary issues:

A. This produces a lack of confidence in the American citizen that the older laws that SHOULD be enforced ARE being enforced. It causes a reasonable American to wonder if there is a bias or political malintent associated with the informal decision of which older laws should continue to be enforced.

B. This also produces proverbial “landmines” where a political or legal actor can maliciously discover a forgotten and long irrelevant law begin to selectively enforce it for one’s own individual or political purposes. A bad actor, in this context, could work to resume the enforcement of a previously unenforced and forgotten law against enemies that could not have been reasonably expected to know that they were violating a law at all.

C. Resistance to correction of errors: “Nothing is more permanent than a temporary government program”. Entire departments, bureaucratic institutions, and other government systems and policies continue to last well beyond the necessity of their initial intent. These systems exist both as a burden on the American taxpayer—requiring him to continue to fund organizations that have long since outlived their utility for him—and as a reminder that rights, once lost, will continue to be infringed even when the folly of the law that infringed on those rights has become evident. One needs to look no further than laws against the private ownership of alcohol distillation equipment, which were created as a part of the federal prohibition on alcohol which has since been overturned for almost 100 years, to see that laws cannot be written to last indefinitely if we are to retain our Republic indefinitely.

It is for the above reasons that we, the American people, present this Amendment to the Constitution to our Congress, to pass it on our behalf, to save this Republic.

- Amendment Text

No law passed by Congress, as per Article 1 of the Constitution shall remain in effect for a period of 15 years or longer. Each law, when it has reached the 14th year since it has passed, shall be brought before each chamber and be reviewed on the grounds of its necessity, intent, and results. Between the 14th and 15th year, that law may then be amended, expanded upon, or removed from the body of American law. For a law to remain in effect past its 15th year, Congress must vote on and pass the law anew as per Article 1, sections 1 and 7.

The body of laws currently in place when this Amendment is passed, will be divided into three groups by the Senate by the first Monday in December after its passage. The first group of laws shall require review by Congress as per the first paragraph of this Amendment within 6 years of its passage and will cease to be law if not passed anew by the 7th year. The second group shall require review by Congress within 13 years after the passage of this Amendment and will cease to be Law if not passed anew by the 14th year. The third group will require review by Congress within 20 years of the passage of this Amendment and will cease to be Law if not passed anew by the 21st year.

- Rebuttal of Criticisms

- “This is what we need term limits for”

1. Laws, not politicians: The issue is not politicians, it is laws. For sure, there are plenty of bought-out and corrupt politicians. But a good politician can work for his or her entire career and still be unable to overturn a bad law from well before his or her time.

2. Forever campaigns: the time a politician needs the most money and is at most risk is when they are first running for office. Setting term limits (especially short ones) will create a vulnerability to compromise in our elections by allowing powerful interests even more opportunities to buy elections that would have otherwise not have been available to purchase. It will also create a PAC industry that professionally produces new politicians beholden to them.

3. Lame-Duck Radicalism: the primary motivation for politicians to do well by their constituents is to gain re-election. Term limits remove this potential entirely and, thereby, remove consequences for pushing unfavorable radical policy at the end of their final terms. This is even worse when such radical actions might help secure some sort of quid-pro-quo deal with a private entity for the lame-duck politician to move into after their term is complete. And then, once the radical bill is passed, it is near permanent, like almost all other government institutions, even though the politician themself had a term limit.

Perhaps what is needed is Amendment 0:

“The government may not borrow any money from any entity, ever”

Big Brother Watch has repeatedly warned that the UK is quietly creeping into a surveillance state. Live facial recognition is being deployed across streets, train stations, shopping centres and even at public protests. But this technology is not just targeting criminals. It is scanning millions of innocent people without their knowledge or consent.

False alarms with real consequences

Studies show that the vast majority of facial recognition matches are false. According to Big Brother Watch, in 80 deployments across the UK, 89.7% of alerts were false positives. In London alone, 150 out of 173 matches by the Metropolitan Police were incorrect, resulting in an error rate of nearly 87%. In some cases, people were stopped, searched or fingerprinted as a result.

These mistakes are not harmless. They are invasive, humiliating and difficult to challenge.

https://bigbrotherwatch.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Biometric-Britain.pdf

It is all connected

Facial images from passports, CCTV, phones and even social media are increasingly fed into large government and private databases. Big Brother Watch has raised concerns that a digital pound or central bank digital currency would allow the state to track every payment in real time. Combined with facial recognition and phone surveillance, this creates a fullmap of your movements, your spending and your associations.

Your phone is not private

Every step we take with a smartphone in our pocket feeds data to corporations and authorities. Location, biometrics, browsing history and more. If that is tied to payment systems and real time identity scanning, we move closer to a system where everything we do can be watched, recorded and judged.

Know Your Customer (KYC) rules are already mandating identity checks for basic services. This is not theoretical. It is happening now.

Where does this lead?

The future we are heading toward is one of forced compliance. A world in which you are monitored constantly. In which you are guilty until proven innocent. In which dissent is quietly suppressed by the knowledge that you are being watched.

We are at a turning point

If we do not push back, we risk building a society where privacy is gone, autonomy is restricted, and control is centralised in the name of convenience and safety. This goes far beyond retail surveillance. It marks the steady build up of a digital infrastructure designed for monitoring and control.

It's 1984

George Orwell warned of a future where every move was watched, every word monitored, and every thought shaped by fear. But even he did not imagine a world where your money could be used to control you.

With facial recognition and CBDCs combined, we are building something even more invasive than Orwell foresaw, a system where surveillance is not just constant but transactional, embedded into the very fabric of daily life.

When every face is scanned, every step tracked, and every payment recorded, we are not living freely. We are living under watch.

Thank you to Big Brother Watch for continuing to shine a light on these issues and holding power to account.

# Michael Hudson: War on Iran is fight for US unipolar control of world - Geopolitical Economy Report

**Source:** https://geopoliticaleconomy.com/2025/06/22/michael-hudson-war-iran-us-unipolar-control/

## Summary

• **US unipolar control at stake**: The war on Iran aims to prevent countries from breaking away from US unipolar control and dollar hegemony, while disrupting Eurasian integration with China and Russia

• **Neoconservative strategy**: US foreign policy follows aggressive neoconservative logic that violates international law and UN principles to maintain control over Middle East oil as buttress of US economic power

• **Historical planning**: Military strategies to overthrow and break up Iran along ethnic lines (Baluchistan, Kurds, Tajiks, Azeris) date back to 1974-75 discussions at Hudson Institute

• **Seven-country domination plan**: General Wesley Clark identified Iran as capstone of seven countries US needed to control for Middle East dominance (Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Iran)

• **China as existential threat**: US views China's industrial dominance and socialist model as existential danger to US unipolar control and dollarized global financial system

• **Oil control strategy**: Controlling Middle Eastern oil enables dollar diplomacy, with OPEC countries investing oil revenues in US Treasury securities that can be held hostage through threat of expropriation

• **Disrupting Belt and Road**: Overthrowing Iran would interrupt China's New Silk Road railway corridor and block Russian trade development via Caspian Sea

• **Self-defeating tactics**: US attempts to maintain empire through economic chaos and military threats are driving nations to seek alternatives, making the split with Global Majority irreversible

• **Alternative institutions needed**: Breaking free requires new international organizations independent of US

“History is one long laundry list of how you can’t kill ideas with brute force.

What you can do is introduce better ideas.”

I've been thinking about this statement by HRF's nostr:nprofile1qqs9336p4f3sctdrtft2wlqaq5upjz9azpgylhfd3dplwf005mfrr9spzamhxue69uhkummnw3ezuendwsh8w6t69e3xj7spz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wcq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kueg6g89xw for a few weeks. Notably, HRF as an organization is strictly "non-violent" – they're only willing to support diplomatic and educational efforts to stop tyranny. If you're using force, they want nothing to do with you.

This week Russian finally took full control of the Shevchenko Lithium Ore Field in Ukraine. Yet another in a long list of minerals resources they've stolen.

That one ore deposit is estimated to have $141 billion dollars worth of lithium in it: https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/ukraine-s-lithium-wealth-diminishes-as-key-deposits-fall-to The total value of land and resources Russia has stolen is in the trillions of dollars.

Now ask yourself, is invading Ukraine a good idea for Russian? Can you convince Russians a better idea would be not invading Ukraine?

You're not going to do it by appealing to their rational self interest: stealing trillions of dollars is incredibly profitable. You're not going to do it by appealing to their humanity: they're a nation of monsters who have no qualms murdering Ukrainians in their sleep.

What you can do is change the incentives. At the moment, Russia has stolen something like $10 trillion worth of Ukrainian resources, at a cost of about 1 million casualties. That's $10 million of loot per casualty. That's a good deal, and it's precisely why they can pay soldiers enough to convince them to volunteer. If Russian gets a ceasefire now, they've profited enormously from their invasion.

Taking that property back and killing a lot more Russians will make that a much worse deal. That's exactly what needs to happen.

As for HRF, they're no different than the "defund the police" activists who tried to get incentives replaced with "dialogue". Just like those activists, HRF is a fraudulent organization whose non-profit status should be revoked. Furthermore, their connections to Russian imperialists and controlled opposition – who are literally on their board of directors – should be investigated thoroughly by the court system.

In the meanwhile, if you want to actually help stop tyranny, donate money to one of the many Ukrainian military organizations who are defeating Russia by killing Russians more effectively. Most of them even accept Bitcoin, e.g. https://wildhornets.com/en/ and https://savelife.in.ua/en/

Wow. Is Russia The Good Guys now?

• Vladimir Putin addressed the 28th St Petersburg International Economic Forum with the theme "Shared Values: The Foundations of Growth in a Multipolar World," attended by leaders from Indonesia, Bahrain, China, and South Africa

• Russia's economy has demonstrated resilience with GDP growth exceeding 4% annually over two years, driven by non-oil-and-gas sectors including agriculture, manufacturing, construction, logistics, and IT, marking a structural shift away from commodity dependence

• Key economic priorities outlined include transitioning to a high-wage economy through improved labor productivity, achieving balanced growth with moderate inflation and low unemployment, and creating conditions for citizens to realize their potential in the labor market

• Russia aims to increase investment in fixed capital by 60% by 2030 compared to 2020, improve business climate to rank among top 20 globally, and boost research and development spending to 2% of GDP with doubled private sector investment

• Structural transformation focuses on five areas: employment patterns, investment climate quality, technological advancement, foreign trade diversification, and integration of defense and civilian economic sectors

• Russia advocates for a multipolar world order based on mutual respect and sovereignty, proposing a new global growth platform free from neo-colonial practices and focused on balanced development benefiting all nations

• BRICS countries now account for 40% of global economy compared to 20% in early 21st century, with Russia inviting partners to shape new development model emphasizing consensus, parity, and openness

• Putin addressed Ukraine conflict, stating Russia seeks recognition of territorial realities while maintaining openness to negotiations, attributing responsibility to Western powers' refusal to accept
