United Nations needs more power, H Clinton

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the U.N. nuclear watchdog, The International Atomic Energy Agency, must have the authority to probe for possible military nuclear work at sites where no nuclear materials exist.

Clinton wants more power for the United Nations. Government bodies always have, and always will, want more power.

The U.S. Military is the largest in the world, outspending more than the other top 21 nations combined. The U.S. Navy has 10 aircraft carriers, with 3 more ordered, that costs more than the total military budget of most countries. The U.S. wants more power! Will they ever have enough?

The government wants the power to spy on its citizens. The U.S. government wants the power to confiscate some of your production. Oh, heck, they already have that power.

It's not just governments that want power, we all do. All relationships are based on the power to get more than one gives, or at least avoid giving more than one receives. The California State Employees Union certainly receives more than they put into the relationship with the taxpayers. Read this column about some CA state employees doubling their pay with overtime.

Other unions like the American Chamber of Commerce, The American Bar Association, The American Medical Association, and The American Association of University Women, all are trying to gain power over others.

The differences in power obtained by the State and power by private individuals or groups is one of force and concentration. It is much easier to resist the power of unions and groups, especially if their power is not backed by the State, than it is to resist the power of the State. The largest union and the largest corporation cannot put you in jail, the smallest State can. The State operates only with force. The use of force is what distinguishes the State. Still most people think it is appropriate to use force in order to do what the State says is good. This is the lure that allows the State to gain more and more power. The State's excuse each time it asks for more power is that the State is doing good, and the people who want to feel safe and good about themselves will always relinquish power, power they will not get back. The State never gives up power.

"Not necessity, not desire - no, the love of power is the demon of men. Let them have everything - health, food, a place to live, entertainment - they are and remain unhappy and low-spirited: for the demon waits and waits and will be satisfied". Friedrich Nietzsche
