War in the Context of Everything Else1 |
|||||||||||
When somebody is shooting at you, there is no doubt in your mind that you're life is at risk so you take cover - and hopefully, you have the means to shoot back. In a "War in the Context of Everything Else" (WICEE) war, the enemy can come at you from all directions, in ways limited only by the imagination of the enemy and because of that, you don't know who they are or how they are coming and the war is well underway before you even realize there is one - so fighting back requires that you meet the enemy on the battlefield of the mind before you can formulate a response strategy. | |||||||||||
The first move is to do a forensic analysis of all previous anomalous events that have the potential to have been an unrecognized attack. Where have they hit you that you might have attributed to something else? When did it start? Who is enabling them? Who are the active participants on the inside? What are the elements of the WICEE? Can we discern a strategic plan? I say, "Yes We Can!" (sorry couldn't resist). At this point, there is no doubt that the economy is collapsing and despite what the propaganda whores of the media tell you, the collapse was absolutely predictable. I'm not an expert in economics. My sole claim to fame in that arena was that I did a paper on the American Post-Industrial Economy for a class I took in the early 90's. Whoopidity-Doo. But it did make me think about the structure of the economy - the distribution of knowledge jobs relative to the number of blue collar jobs. The conclusion of my paper was that we should be very concerned about the export of those blue collar jobs and that it should stop because the majority of the people who held those jobs didn't have the "tools" for the Information Economy, nor did they have the time in life to make the adjustment. And in the long run, there is a significant percentage of the population who can never participate in the Information Economy. So around 2001 when I found out about the export of knowledge jobs to foreign countries, I knew our economy would collapse within 10 to 15 years. |

The reason for
that time frame was that it took about 40 years to export
manufacturing because of the time and expense of building production
facilities offshore. But knowledge jobs are easy to
export - hardly any expense at all with astounding
increases in profits that would be accrued through decreased labor costs.
Simply knowing that corporate profits were the driving force
- and that blue collar jobs were already mostly gone, and
using simple logic - 'if you've already exported most of
your blue collar jobs, and your economy is supported by
knowledge jobs and you start exporting those knowledge jobs,
you're in DEEP SH*T! That was when I began my
forensic analysis to find out what was behind the insanity
of torpedoing the American economy.
Supply Side Economics = Corporatism

|||||||||||
The problem is
Supply-Side economics which as it turns out is just another
name for Corporatism. This theory was promoted by the white
collar corporate crime syndicate in New York and Washington DC.
It was sold to the American people with the propaganda
message that because corporations employ people, economic
policy should be focused to facilitate corporations in
making even more money so that they would hire even more
employees.
You've
probably heard this a hundred times, "a poor man doesn't
hire another poor man". That much is true.
But it is also true, that "a rich man will hire and exploit
the cheapest labor he can find - up to and including slave
labor". And it was the pursuit of the cheapest labor in
the world that is causing the 'Great Unwinding' of our
economic system and potentially the collapse of our nation. |

The Fraud of "Free Trade" On March 14, Patrick Mulloy of the U.S.-China Economic & Security Commission was on C-Span to talk about a report they just produced about the trade deficit with China. Mr. Mulloy was a Congressional Staffer for the Senate banking committee in 1980's when the decisions were being made on U.S. economic policy. His segment was about 30 minutes long but if time is a constraint, to the right, just listen to an audio recording of the last caller. The following is a snippet from the call: |

"Investing in the Other Country and Shipping Back In" There is no "on-off" switch with economic policy. It takes time for corporations to shift their business models when the law changes. In the case of NAFTA, clearly, the incentives were for corporations to move their production to Mexico where the labor was cheap and there was no penalty for doing it because they could ship their goods back into the United States for "free". So "Free Trade" was about bigger corporate profits at the expense of the American economy and the American workers who lost jobs as corporations moved their production facilities to Mexico. The following is an excerpt from a 1998 Congressional Research Service Report titled, "Maquiladoras and NAFTA: The Economics of U.S.-Mexico Production Sharing and Trade":
This is where the propaganda whores of the media come in with their campaigns of "Free Trade" is good! It means economic prosperity for all! Transportation jobs were created along the border with Mexico, but the North Eastern industrial states and the textile states hemorrhaged jobs - destroying lives and local economies. The mitigation for the loss of a job was "Trade Adjustment Assistance" - retraining for a different job. Here is another excerpt from the report:
That paragraph highlights the fraud of "free trade". Corporations moved down to Mexico to lower their costs of production (cheap labor) but Americans are told that the reason they lost their job was because of technological advances and that they will have to become more highly skilled. The American people were told that in the global economy, there are winners and losers - and if you are a loser, just suck it up. The truth is that every time a job is exported from the United States, we are all losers because those losses ripple through the entire economy. The net effect on the U.S. economy was a loss of middle class jobs, the losses to the tax base - federal, state and local, increased social costs for re-training, unemployment insurance, food stamps, welfare, etc. Taxes on everybody who still had a job go up to cover the loss of taxes collected from the people who lost their jobs.
Exporting Knowledge Jobs - Importing Cheap Labor In 1995, when the U.S. signed the agreement for the Uruguay Round of trade agreements creating the World Trade Organization, the agreement included a provision to allow "trade in services" which was a global arrangement to allow the same kind of "investment in the other country" for the Knowledge Industries - exporting the high dollar knowledge jobs - and importing foreign cheap labor - which puts American citizens out of work on both sides of the export/import equation. From the first "Free Trade" agreement that was signed to benefit corporations at the expense of our nation as a whole, all economic policy decisions since that time have exacerbated the problems rather than fixing them. National policies across the board have been to try and mitigate national losses to protect corporate profits. But the corporate profits are offshore - earned in foreign countries subject to taxation only upon repatriation which is voluntary. With corporate profits as the first priority of economic and social policy, it effectively turns U.S. policy on it's head. Those agreements exported American wealth and imported Third World Poverty. 'Free Trade' was the first identifiable front in the WICEE war on the American people.
Global Corporatism The term "globalization" is synonymous with corporatization - on a global scale. Another way of saying it is that globalization is global corporatism.

Production and capital stayed
within the United States. It provided a ladder upward for
people to progress economically and it provided a rising
standard of living. Tax obligations to support the infrastructure of the United States was shared more equally because everybody contributed. The commercial market for labor provided the incomes necessary for a well functioning economy providing jobs at the low end and upward mobility for those who had the ambition to strive for it.
|

|
This is a worldwide
redistribution of wealth from the United States to the world
with the benefits accruing only to the banksters and the
multinational corporations as they drain our economy of its
wealth.
The U.S. economy will never recover under these conditions. The standard of living for the American people will drop to third world levels and our infrastructure will crumble from lack of capital from a solid foundation (savings) to rebuild it.

Illusions and Delusions A WICCE war would not be possible without a media "arrangement" between corporate and government power centers. It's difficult to know when this really started because American media has always been corporate sponsored but thanks to an article titled "The Control of the American News Media" by James Kelso, we know the following:
The justification given for the policy was due to retrospective analysis of social conditions during the Viet Nam era but, with the benefit of hindsight and all that has transpired since 1983, one has to consider that the policy might actually have been enacted for prospective purposes. With those purposes being to keep international agreements out of the News, to divert the public's attention when important world events are occurring, to frame public perception towards the 'solutions' for the Hegelian Dialectics played out to serve the 'Corperament' policies. [Note: if there is a word for 'corporate government' I don't know it so from here on out, when I say government, I mean the corporatist government - "Corperament" and not the American government.]
Consolidation of Political Power In June of 1982, Ronald Reagan gave a stunning speech to the British Parliament in which he said, "...a moment of kinship and homecoming in these hallowed halls". One might be tempted to think that he was just being polite, but one finds the true meaning of words spoken in the past by tracing the actions that followed the words. Do a little research to see how many "American" leaders have been knighted for their "service to the queen". SLAVERING DOGS!

That means that December of 1983 was the year that political power in the United States was consolidated in the NED soviet ("soviet" meaning council). The following is from an article in Commonsense titled, "The Democracy Program: A Strong Foundation" written by William Brock. At the time it was written, Brock was the United State Trade Representative, former Chairman of the Republican National Committee and former senator from Tennessee. Beginning Adobe page 11:

Over the last several decades, requests from the Third World and other countries asking the U.S. for assistance in developing democratic institutions have steadily increased. The Republican and Democratic Parties, the business community, the labor movement--all have received numerous requests. But while the AFL-CIO and business groups have been able to offer aid, for the most part, our international counterparts have not been able to gain the support they need from the U.S. A Program for Democracy Many political, business, labor, academic, and other leaders have long been aware of the need for a long-range bipartisan approach to democratic institution-building. Congressman Dante Fascell (D-Fla.), for example, has been a staunch advocate of creating a permanent legislative mechanism that would encourage the American private sector to assist counterpart groups abroad and since the 1960s he has been pushing for the establishment of institutions to support such efforts. During my chairmanship at the Republican National Committee, I became deeply convinced of the need for increased international activity by both political parties and by other private sector groups. Early in 1979, I was privileged to meet with then candidate Margaret Thatcher and a number of her colleagues. As a result of those meetings, I became persuaded that the American Republican and the British Conservative parties had much to learn from each other and much to contribute to newly created parties in other countries, particularly in the Third World. Charles T. Manatt, chairman of the Democratic National Committee and then chairman of the DNC’s Finance Council, enjoyed similar experiences and also became a supporter of the idea. Together with other leading party officials, Chuck Manatt and I created the American Political Foundation as a bipartisan vehicle to forge a broader role for political parties abroad. At the same time, Michael A. Samuels, now vice president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s international division, and William A. Douglas, a consultant to the AFL-CIO’s American Institute for Free Labor Development, provided a conceptual foundation for supporting democracy internationally in a 1981 Washington Quarterly article. They concluded that:
Samuels and Douglas specifically called for creation of a new private sector institution that could receive government funds that would remain independent of any administration. Such an effort, they felt, should include input from political parties, business, labor, academic, and other groups. By early 1982, these ideas burgeoned into a series of meetings sponsored by Mike Samuels and myself and included representatives of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Republican and Democratic Parties, the Administration, the AFL-CIO, and academia. Out of these gatherings came the decision to launch a study to see if a permanent mechanism could be designed to encourage private sector groups to become involved in strengthening democratic institutions and values on an international level. A formal proposal was then made to President Reagan, through the American Political Foundation, to create a study called the Democracy Program. The President heartily endorsed the idea and announced creation of the study during his historic speech to the British Parliament on June 8, 1982.

Shadow Government
Proving there is a shadow government even with the evidence of consolidation of political power would be difficult were it not for a providential coincidence. I was listening to Alex Jones yesterday and his guest Jim Marrs. Mr. Marrs mentioned a speech given by Barack Obama's National Security Advisor, retired General Jim Jones. In the speech which is posted on the Council on Foreign Relations website, Jones says the following: Remarks by National Security Adviser Jones at 45th Munich Conference on Security Policy Published February 8, 2009 |

National Security Adviser Jones gave these remarks

at the Hotel Bayerischer Hof on February 8, 2009.
"Thank
you for that wonderful tribute to Henry Kissinger
yesterday. Congratulations. As the most recent
National Security Advisor of the United States,
I take my
daily orders from Dr. Kissinger, filtered down
through Generaal Brent Scowcroft and Sandy Berger,
who is also here. We have a chain of command in
the National Security Council that exists today.
I think my role
today is a little bit different than you might
expect. Following the speech of the Vice President
and the presence of our distinguished members from
the U.S. House of Representatives, I thought that
I would spend my time talking to you about how
taking the President’s guidance and the Vice
President’s comments yesterday, I would spend a
few moments trying to discuss how the U.S.
National Security Council intends to reorganize
itself in order to be supportive. For decades,
this conference in Munich has provided a truly
exceptional forum for the kind of open dialogue
and candid discussions that can only take place
among close friends and allies. The Vice
President’s attendance and his speech yesterday
should send I think a very strong and sincere
signal about the seriousness of our purpose when
it comes to listening, engaging and building
stronger partnerships with all of our friends and
allies because the President feels that the
transatlantic alliance is a cornerstone to our
collective security.

Consolidation of Military Power George H. W. Bush began the consolidation of the military power structure when he dissolved the Strategic Air Command (SAC) and stood up STRATCOM. STRATCOM’s job was to consolidate the leadership in the military. He severely cut the military budget to justify the consolidation of leadership - the consolidation of power within the military even though it was blamed on Clinton.
And he put all U.S. nuclear weapons in the hands of one person:

We have a crashing economy due to the deliberately subversive and deceptive "free trade" agreements. We've had consolidation of military power to a unified command structure across services within a global military with regional assignments. And we have the militarization of our domestic police forces "partnering" with the military in violation - in spirit if not in point of law - of Posse Comitatus.
