FYI from BATR

In todays world there is an increasing problem with any attempts to continue the tradition of the 'noble ruler' (or its more advanced offshoot in the form of the modern technocratic nation-state). Paradoxically, the centralisation of power inherent in these forms of government possibly holds the seeds of their own destruction. The massive bureaucracy and military machine needed to maintain these systems of government becomes in itself a problem as it attempts to regulate behaviour - the 'hidden' state, propaganda, psyops, diversions, lies and coercion will all need to be cleverly implemented in order to maintain unity in their new 'democracies'.
