It's Not An Accident!
I recently received this excellent email from one of my clients. He's a UVA grad who did his thesis on the velocity of money, so he's not exactly a dummy! Anyway, I am posting his email in its entirety, followed by my email response to him.

Greetings All:
Time for another rant I guess. The core of the problem is that unregulated, trickle down capitalism is a system that does not work, and will be changed one way or the other.
One solution that I have commented on before is this: If you want to sell it here, you will by God, make it here. And we will do the same. There are a few items that we would have to exempt, but not many.
I can hear it now. All of the Exporters will be screaming that they will not be able to sell overseas, and America will be doomed. Well, have you seen the balance of trade figures of late? They may be doomed, but the rest of us will start to do better.
Have you seen pictures of Detroit, Michigan USA? The only scene that is more horrible is a bombed out city somewhere in the mid east, and we are probably the country that destroyed that city in the first place, but that's another story. This is what unregulated trickle down capitalism gets the average guy.
What can we do? Probably not too much, but I try not to buy anything from those damn Chinese.

Hey Big C,
Excellent insights. I agree totally, but I have a bigger question to ask: If you and I can figure this out, then don’t you think the powers-that-be can see this as well? I’d assume the answer to that question is “yes,” which leads me to ask a second question. “Why are those we have entrusted with protecting our nation and economy systematically dismantled it?”
I’d say the answer to that question IS NOT that they are stupid. I’d say it IS NOT that they are unaware of the consequences of their actions. I’d say that IT IS because that is what they are “hired” to do by the big money that gets them elected!
Let’s look at this thing from another angle and I think things get real clear.
If we were part of the international banking cartel with eyes on total global domination, what, or who, would be the greatest obstacle to the achievement of our goals? A strong America! A free America! (Never forget that the borrower is slave to the lender and the goals of the international banking cartel has always been to make every nation dependent upon them via debt. This is one reasons why wars are started as it forces governments to borrow to pay for them. See How And Why International Bankers Make War. ) Therefore, job number one for us would be to systematically dismantle the American economic system to the point where Americans would be willing to give up their freedoms and independence in exchange for food and security. And how would we do that? By saddling them with unbearable debt and destroying their manufacturing base.
How would we go about such a dismantling? I think we’d start by buying off the politicians, media and educational system. Their acquiescence to our objectives would eventually guarantee our success as the bulk of dumbed-down Americans are unwilling and unable to think for themselves and will just swallow hook, line and sinker anything the establishment tells them. So, if the guvamint tells Joe Sixpack that allowing WalMart to run American manufacturers out of business in favor of lower-cost Chinese producers is the American Way, then Joe Sixpack is more than happy to switch off his brain right there and just be happy that he got his widget cheaper than had he bought American.
The prostituted educational system is more than happy to continue to espouse Keynesian economics as long as they can continue to belly up to the guvamint trough and slop with the rest of the little piggies! They will run studies and do research and come up with whatever “proof” they are asked to produce as long as the federal funding keeps coming.
So, in conclusion, I think your observations are an excellent commentary on the process of the INTENTIONAL systematic dismantling of the Empire America. I do not think it is an accident, but it is the culmination of decades of careful planning. A part of me wants to say that the American sheeple deserve what they are getting. Let em crash and burn! Willful ignorance deserves to be punished. But the trouble is, you and I are on the same sinking ship with the rest of these buffoons along with a lot of other innocents who really don't deserve what they are about to have to endure. But at least we have a life raft waiting for us when the ship finally sinks……. Gold!
