A New Recession and a New World Devoid of Washington’s Arrogance?
What is written in this article is quite
right. I find the part “The US economy
cannot grow because (corporations pushed by Wall Street) have moved the US
economy offshore” interesting.
Japan’s smaller businesses are driven to
the brink of devastation now. Abenomics
which takes after U.S. will result in devastation of the Japanese economy. There is a phrase in the article: “years of
unprecedented Quantitative Easing failed to revive the economy. What then can revive the economy?” In a country whose economy has been
devastated, distribution of capitals by intense credit control instrument has
to be done, like Japan that succeeded in recovery after the war.
In a word, it is necessary to promote an
industry based on a new vision for the future.
I think it is very doable by diverting military technology for the
private sector. For example, science
technology should be applicable, as much as we want, to whatever it may be,
medical services or agriculture, in an earth-friendly and harmless manner.
The U.S. has impeded a program for
prosperity of mankind, as shown at the end of sentences, and it is the
inflationary policy of subject states like Japan that helps the U.S. to survive
long. If we wish for world peace, we
have no other choice but to deprive FRB of the ability to print dollar bills. And yet, Japan has printed a massive amount
of yen in accordance with Abenomics and bought U.S. government bonds, which has
provided funding to the U.S. Since U.S.
bonds cannot be sold (anyone who tries to sell them would be killed like
Shoichi Nakagawa), it is practically equal to donation (actually, getting blackmailed). It is really shameful that many people
believe that yes-men to U.S. are patriots.

A
New Recession and a New World Devoid of Washington’s Arrogance?

A final number for real US GDP growth in the first quarter of 2014 was released today. The number is
not the 2.6% growth rate predicted by the know-nothing economists in January of
this year. The number is a decline in GDP of -2.9 percent.
The
negative growth rate of -2.9 percent is itself an
understatement. This number was achieved
by deflating nominal GDP with an understated measure of inflation. During the Clinton regime, the Boskin Commission rigged the
inflation measure in order to cheat Social Security recipients out of their
cost-of-living adjustments. Anyone who purchases food, fuel, or anything knows
that inflation is much higher than the officially reported
number.
It is
possible that the drop in
first quarter real GDP is three times the official number.
……….
The US
economy cannot grow because corporations pushed by Wall
Street have moved the US economy offshore. US manufactured
products are made offshore. Look at the labels on your
clothes, your shoes, your eating and cooking utensils, your computers,
whatever. US professional jobs such as software engineering have been moved
offshore. An economy with an offshored economy is not an economy. All of this happened in full view, while well-paid free market
shills declared that Americans were benefiting from giving America’s middle
class jobs to China and India.
I
have been exposing these lies for a decade or two, which is why I am no longer
invited to speak at American universities or to American economic associations.
Economists love the money that they receive for lying. ……….
……….
Imagine
the consequences of a recession. It means that years of
unprecedented Quantitative Easing failed to revive the economy. It means that years of Keynesian fiscal deficits failed to
revive the economy. Neither fiscal nor monetary policy worked. What then can
revive the economy?
Nothing
except to force the return of the economy that the anti-American corporations
moved offshore.
……….
The
poor US economic outlook has brought America’s two largest
business lobbies–the US Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of
Manufacturers (or what is left of them) into
conflict with the Obama regime’s threat of further sanctions against Russia.
According
to Bloomberg News, beginning tomorrow (June 26), the
business groups will run advertisements in
the New York Times, Wall St Journal, and Washington Post opposing any further sanctions on Russia. The
US business organizations say that the sanctions will harm
their profits and result in layoffs of American workers.
Thus,
America’s two largest business organizations, important
sources of political campaign contributions, have finally added their voice to
the voices of German, French, and Italian business.
Everyone,
except the brainwashed American public, knows that the “crisis in Ukraine” is
entirely the work of Washington. European and American
businesses are asking: “why should our profits and our workers take hits in
behalf of Washington’s propaganda against Russia.”
Obama
has no answer. Perhaps his neocon scum, Victoria Nuland, Samantha Powers, and
Susan Rice can come up with an answer. Obama can look to the New York Times,
Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, and Weekly Standard to explain why millions of Americans and Europeans should suffer in order that Washington’s theft of Ukraine is not endangered.
………. .
Dissent
with Washington and Washington’s two-bit puppet rulers in Europe is spreading. The latest poll in Germany reveals that three-quarters
of Germany’s population rejectpermanent NATO bases in Poland and the Baltic
states. The former Czechoslovakia, currently Slovakia and the Czech Republic,
although NATO members, have rejected NATO and American troops and bases on
their territory. Recently, the Polish foreign minister said that pleasing
Washington required giving free oral sex for nothing in return.
The
strains that Washington’s morons are putting on NATO might break the
organization apart. Pray that it does. NATO’s excuse for existence disappeared
with the Soviet collapse 23 years ago. Yet, Washington has
increased NATO far beyond the borders of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization. NATO now runs from the Baltics to Central Asia. In order to have a reason for NATO’s continued expensive operation,
Washington has had to construct an enemy out of Russia.
Russia
has no intention of being Washington’s or NATO’s enemy and has made that
perfectly clear. But Washington’s
military/security complex, which absorbs about $1 trillion annually of US
hard-pressed taxpayers’ money, needs an excuse to keep the profits flowing.
Unfortunately
the Washington morons picked a dangerous enemy. Russia is a nuclear armed
power, a country of vast dimensions, and with a strategic alliance with China.
Only
a government drowning in arrogance and hubris or a government run by
psychopaths and sociopaths would pick such an enemy.
Russia’s
President Vladimir Putin has pointed out to
Europe that Washington’s policies in the Middle East and Libya are not
merely total failures but also devastatingly harmful to Europe and Russia. The fools in Washington have removed the governments that
suppressed the jihadists. Now the violent jihadists are
unleashed. In the Middle East the jihadists are at work remaking
the artificial boundaries set by the British and French in the aftermath of
World War I.
Europe,
Russia and China have Muslim populations and
now must worry if the violence that Washington
has unleashed will bring destabilization to regions of Europe, Russia and China.
……….
On top
of US political troubles, the US dollar is
in trouble. The dollar is kept afloat by rigged
financial markets and Washington’s pressure on its vassal states to support the
dollar’s value by printing their own currencies and purchasing dollars. In order to keep the dollar afloat, much of the world will be
inflated. When people finally catch on and rush into gold, the Chinese will
have it all.
Sergey
Glazyev, an adviser to President Putin, has told the Russian president than only an anti-dollar alliance that crashes the US dollar can halt Washington’s
aggression. That has long been my opinion. There can be no peace as long as Washington can print more money
with which to finance more wars.
As
the Chinese government stated, it is time to “de-Americanize the world.”….. . Unless Washington is
replaced with more humane leadership, life on earth has no future.
