What does this mean to democratic and representative forms of government which are wholly made irrelevant by shadow “super states”? These shadow super states govern all financial matters including the MF Global and AIG collapses, the repeated TARP bail outs and much more?

THE ANSWER TO THIS IMPORTANT QUESTION DEVOLVES UPON THE “KNOWING” AND “UNKNOWING” APPLICATION OF THIS ANCIENT LEGAL PRINCIPLE OF LEX FORI TO A HUMAN BEING, CASE OR CONTROVERSY.
LEX FORI, practice. The law of the court or forum. 2. The forms of remedies, the modes of proceeding, and the execution of judgments, are to be regulated solely and exclusively, by the laws of the place where the action is instituted or as the civilians uniformly express it, according to the lex fori.
