Dear Mr.
Mone:
Thank you for
your fundraising letter of December 4. I
think highly of much of what the Manhattan Institute has done. Examples are Brian Anderson's book on
political theory, which I reviewed for the Journal
of Interdisciplinary Studies, and Theodore Dalrymple's essays. Since 2008, when I last contributed to the
Manhattan Institute, I have concluded that the United States is in worse shape
than I had thought. The days of a
republican United States will not return, nor will the American tendency toward
an oligarchic, dictatorial system reverse.
I hold the
Manhattan Institute's perspective partially responsible for America's decline
into oligarchy. American conservatism is
rooted in Republican federalism whereby the federal government exercises
hegemony over the states, monetary policy, constitutional interpretation, and
economic regulation. From the nation's
beginning, Hamilton urged an increasing degree of centralization and federal power;
your organization's approach is in the Hamiltonian conservative tradition.
Oligarchy,
centralization, and increased government authority result from the interaction
of the brokerage of special interests and Federal Reserve Bank counterfeit:
Brokerage of
Special Interests x Federal Reserve Counterfeit = Oligrachy, Tyranny
We are past
the point where the size and power of the federal government can be explained
as a natural outgrowth of federalism, technology, or economies of scale. Rather, we live in an oligarchy of financial
interests cartelized through the Federal Reserve Bank. The Hamiltonian vision that you advocate
depends on criminality: the banking
system's stealing from the public. The eventual
result has been (not will be) the dissolution of the American republic into an
authoritarian, criminal organization. The dissolution has already occurred; the
government of the United States is an irretrievable abomination--a pig state. Please take my name off your mailing list.
Sincerely,
Mitchell
Langbert, Ph.D.
