The Consequences of Losing an Economic War

f we were attacked militarily, our government would do everything in its power to defend its citizens. True American patriots emerged during the reign of the British military. Patrick Henry is famous for shouting, “Give me liberty, or give me death!” Today, the U.S. is losing the economic war and we are rapidly spiraling towards the enslavement of ourselves and future generations. We know from history what happens to the losers of military conflict–losers work for the sole benefit of their conquerors under the laws of the new regime.

Right now in the U.S. we are in an economic war imposed on us by countries like China, Japan and Mexico. The proof of this is in our constant balance-of-trade deficit.

e are heading toward colonial status and may have already lost this war. Former Senator Ernest Hollings once said, “We now have the export profile of an eighteenth century colony.” The economic war continues to fly under the radar of most Americans and we lack strong leaders to correct the situation.

Mark Twain said, “We have the best government money can buy.” When he said it, the buyers were all domestic, so no matter who bought what, the fruits stayed local. Now, the buyers are international.

when Hillary Clinton’s emails are made public, assuming they ever are, we will see the most blatant sale of America’s sovereignty to those who would wish us ill. She isn’t the only one, just the most egregious.

LOSING?? That’s an unusual way to define the treasonous acts of Government that Surrendered it’s people for their Corporate Donors.

None of it would be possible without the American collaborators who benefit from the sellin gout of the American working class...the Oligarchs and their puppets in Congress, the White House, and the Courts.

That is so true, with regards to our export profile. We export grain, livestock products, wood, raw minerals, scrap metal, and technical knowledge.

In return, we import products made in foreign lands utilizing those feed-stocks.

All in all, we export labor costs. If somebody else in the world will do it cheaper than you can, the business will go to them. What those who are doing the exporting of labor don't realize, or don't really care, is that those foreign markets will at some point be able to steal their business right out from under them.

Look at this way. Apple produces their products in china, a communist regime. A regime that also does business with the rest of the world.
If they wanted to, they could literally take over apple's means of production, and make it their own, and apple would have no recourse whatsoever.

This is the precarious position that US business interests have put us in. The communist and socialist regimes that they deal with now have us by the balls.

Another World War is coming when the economic ripple effects go off.

But we won’t be building B-29’s in the middle of Kansas anymore.

The current generation cannot make cookies, except for cutting paste out of a tube. Saw a female comedian say, “That’s not making cookies!” - “Adding water to a box of mix, stirring it and plopping it on the cookie sheet - THAT’S making cookies!”.

They know all about the KarTrashians, their favorite NBA star’s stats, or the garbage labeled as “music” by some thug rapper or corporate boy-band, or their phone.

So when an old codger fool like Bernie Sanders shows up, tells them they’ll get free college, they jump on board.

Or some other fraud shows up, like he did in 2008 and 2012.

Worth repeating!

And worth thinking very hard about are the reasons why Apple found it more advantageous to set up shop THERE instead of HERE.
