Chinese & US Navies Play Wargames in Sea Corner Between China, Japan & Phillipines
Seems like someone's angling to either:
1) protect something (but what? oil in South China sea?) or
2) cut a competitor off, before it gets any more competitive?
Tom Hickey astutely says:
China is pushing against the US "pivot to Asia" and the US [& Japan & Phillipines & Vietnam] is signaling it's not budging. This has been going on in the South China Sea for many decades but now China is trying to push out its territory of influence and the US is saying to forget about it.Yet why "debate," now? Our elites have sold most of OUR entire manufacturing base to China's elites. Why not sell OUR access to other people's commodities and trade routes too? :(
Is this a sign that our elites want to own everyone else too, not just the US Middle Class? And of course, EVERYONE else's little commodities too?
Orthodox economics IS national policy, of course. That's true, regardless of team regime or paradigm. The goal is to discriminate between wargames and economic policy games.
The real problem for the US Middle Class is that orthodox economics, by definition, developed as a way for a ruling class to "manage" it's assets, including the subservient classes. That's why people like Paul Krugman will suck up to anyone, and avoid any topic, in order to win a brownie button. Then, if the Middle Class ever lets itself out of it's own constricted-knowledge bag, the frauds - of all types - will claim that they "knew it all along" of course.
Parasites come in a whole palette of flavors. From venal Control Frauds (Rubinites?), to intellectually dishonest ones (Krugmans), and on to the truly Ignorant Frauds. Those last ones usually constitute the bulk of the electorate ... until they decide to set their own alarm clock, and to wake up early enough to see what's going on outside their old perspective.
Instead of our elites using us as cannon fodder against China's subservient classes, acting as proxies FOR China's elites ... why doesn't the US Middle Class and the Chinese Middle Class cut their own deal. Send our elites to shoot it out with their elites? Put it in a gladiatorial ring, make a SURREALITY TV show, and sell popcorn?

It could go viral.
update on the story;
ReplyDeletelooks like escalation between conflicting agendas

Actually, we need to separate government from private money and credit creation as well as separate the private sector from government money and credit creation.
ReplyDeleteThat would mean in practice the abolition of the Fed and government deposit insurance and the abolition of legal tender laws for private debts.
The battle over who gets to create the money has raged for hundreds if not thousands of years. Jesus Christ implied the solution nearly 2000 years ago in Mathew 22:16-22 ("Render to Caesar ..."). How about we give ourselves the gift of peace by taking the hint?
