Doomed by the Myths of Free Trade
How the Economy was Lost
By PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS
The American economy has gone away. It is not coming back until free trade myths are buried six feet under.
America’s 20th century economic success was based on two things. Free trade was not one of them. America’s economic success was based on protectionism, which was ensured by the union victory in the Civil War, and on British indebtedness, which destroyed the British pound as world reserve currency. Following World War II, the US dollar took the role as reserve currency, a privilege that allows the US to pay its international bills in its own currency.
World War II and socialism together ensured that the US economy dominated the world at the mid 20th century. The economies of the rest of the world had been destroyed by war or were stifled by socialism [in terms of the priorities of the capitalist growth model. Editors.]

And thanks Grassroots for the whole picture, would take me a couple days to explain how things are CONNECTED and TIED IN. And the same thing Loch, I appreciate every post, you guys write, and I read them all. I was "postless" for a couple days, but I am almost done with a tiny project, a blog, it took a lot of hours and tiny isn't the word, but when they say any one can start a blog and in a matter of minuets; it is true! I'll post its link soon!
Peace, Salaam, Shalom!!!

No,you are not getting off theme,it's all tied in mizo.
It has been for sixty++ years,since the end of the British Colonial Empire and its:
-white,monarchical,slave trade,resource grabbing supremacy.
When Britain/Europe began its close-down of the global deomination,due to
-LACK of funds,
-OVER-EXTENSION of military forces globally,and
-MASSIVE international civil unrest(SOUND FAMILIAR)by nationals,all over the world,who were SICK TO DEATH(literally) of 'foreigners' stomping in shouting the words "Freedom! we are here to liberate(occupy)you(from what?),but in exchange you MUST:
-allow us to stay set up forts(bases),
-allow us to put you OUT of work and into servitude and poverty.
-USE your resources at our whim,
-attack your neighbours FROM your soil with our weapons and munitions,OR ELSE,you die".
When the British/Europeans were fiscally forced to hand over the Holy Land,North Africa,Saudi etc to various Princes,Tribal Warlords,Sheiks,Dictators,Demogogs Lunatic Despots and of course,tagging along behind, the political zionists who had said,"No we won't take Uganda as 'zion' we INSIST on Palestine(and America)",
there was ONE option left:
-of maintaining a WESTERN-TYPE 'fort',outpost,colony,in the Near/Middle East,
-which would minimise the influx to the West,of the 'easter savages'lol,
-and on the surface could be dressed up as a "Democracy" with western standards,lol!
ISRAEL!
America had made a 'mint' from WW2,the zionists had moved in and transferred their European/USSR population to American shores(which at first the White American Congress DID NOT LIKE),but there was a handy titbit that came with it.
The Atomic bomb project.
From German soil to American soil and somehow Congress persuaded the naive Americans to ACTUALLY USE IT on Japan(needlessly so),in order to MAKE A STATEMENT OF IMPERIAL POWER,"we are the new super-power,the American Empire/Colonial invader,who also likes:
-slave-labor,
-stealing resourses,
-occupying foreign lands as our military 'forts' from which to attack OTHERS and, --we'll take ALL the resources you have,for OUR OWN,thankyou very much!"
And,seeing as Israel was fiscally,militarily attached,by an umbilical cord,to its new US foster parent,in whose eyes it could DO NO wrong(especially if it started screaming out "anti-semitism,boo-hoo,protect us,we are the VICTIMS" at any valid critism of their OWN brutal,moronic,terrorist,belligerent,activities upon the Arab indigenous peoples who were/ARE BEING OCCUPIED(and therefore have a right to RSEIST),as well as the British and Europeans,who were left.
Israel is just the fading,last remaining,western outpost of the old colonisation of foreign lands.
The ONLY reason it survives AT ALL is because it feeds,like the parasite it is,on the new Colonial,global-stomper/occupier/invader America,and its BUXOM WAGON TRAINS of money and supplies(now wearing thin and BARE),without which it would die,and IS DYING fast.
Even quicker now, with these new Israeli party psychopaths,where even the "MODERATES" are lying fantatics,so the EXTREMISTS must be liable for incarceration in a lunatic asylum,along with the other Hannibal Lecters.
Both main parties prefer to lead their deluded,nationalist,isolationist,bigotted,racist Israeli VOTERS down the path to Israels self-destruction. If they are going to call Livni a "moderate" then Hitler must have been a centrist pussy.LOL!
Watching the demise of the Holy American Empire(globally) includes watching the demise of zionist Israel.
If the host is sick,weak,anaemic,the parasite also suffers if NOT DIES.
I watched the fall of the British Colonial Empire,and all the unrest,change in global demographics,change in economy and movement of cultures,and religions.
It was,THEN,like an earthquake with global 'tremors' and aftershocks that continued to billow out until the dust and blood settled,and metamorphosis came and the old dinosaurs left/fell off the cliff edge.
Now,I am seeing the fall of the American Empire,and the SAME SYMPTONS are occurring again,uncommonly. Another paradigm shift.Another shedding of skin.
Now its America's turn(along with its foster child Israel).
UNLESS! America and Israel can mutate,change,assimilate,there will be no place for them in the upcoming changes.And,methinks the changes that are afoot,could actually benefit the MILLIONS of ORDINARY people for a change,as IT SHOULD,because the era of the wealthy LOOTERS,corporate pirates,the lawless ones at the top who usurp their power and OATH of Office to "we the people" is nearly over.
We haven't had REAL Democracy or Justice for decades,here in the States.
We haven't had TRUE representation of the people in our Congress either.
Just representation of the LOBBYIST CROOKS.
Just pretend stuff.And the people have felt it in thierr bones just preferred to stay dormant.
But,now after Bush/Clinton/Bush and maybe Obushma(if he doesn't honor his promises to US citizens/voters)if he can't show that he has some MORAL,ETHICAL,RULE OF LAW 'balls',I can see civil unrest and mistrust rumbling like an earthquake ready to blow.
This is what is happening in Europe right now,seimic activity,because they don't cut any slack with politicians(public servants) after centuries of corruption.
As more American voters/citizens SHOULD,the European people will STORM the 'Bastille' and DEMAND THEIR rights,knowing that they can OUST their public servants ANYTIME they wish.
Americans,being(comparatively)Nationally young,don't seem to realise that they have this power over Congress because the "DEMOCRATIC" oligarchy has conditioned them to think otherwise LOL!,or they've PUT SOMETHING in the nations water supply(along with ALL the other Rx meds and sedatives),or they try to dumb/numb us down with NASCAR and Hollywood,where fantasy becomes reality and vise versa.
And Loch illustrates well how the epicentre of the economic meltdown begins here,right in the USA because Americans(by the majority)are so dumbed down and numbed out by media trash to swallow that they don't even KNOW what the corrupt oligarchy with ZIONISM and USURY at its root here,is COLLAPSING our nation.
The very few at the top who have LOOTED the nation of everything from the millions below are now SCARED sh**less.Their money,power,stranglehold is slipping,because more ORDINARY people are learning more about their 'special agendas' and personal profiteering,while MILLIONS,die,are injured,go without,cannot earn a decent living,are jobless,homeless,hope-less and have NOTHING to look forward to.
If you think that what the Israelis are doing to the Palestinians is BRUTAL and BARBARIC, you should watch further,because the VERY SAME process is occurring here,on American soil,discretely,slowly and methodically.
And why!
Because the PEOPLE who run Israel and the USA,are now THE SAME!
You want to know where "zion" is?
It's here in the USA.
The "State of Israel" was just a CONVENIENT IMPERIAL colony,outpost,'settlement' time-share,vacation spot,for dual citizen politicans/intelligence agents/spies,at the expense of ALL the innocent Arab indigenous people.
But,that position is changing,and I think the last colonial 'outpost'is about to be vacated,by NECESSITY of survival and reason. It never was a Democracy.It never was fair and NEVER was viable and solvent.
SELF-EXTINCTION.
Time for Coffee!
Peace,Salaam,Shalom!

Sarkozy faces unrest at home, with far right and far left opponents gaining popularity.
Iceland and Latvia face changes in government following civil unrest. Ukraine totters on the brink, the UK nationalizes bank after bank, EuroZone unemployment skyrockets, China loses 20 million jobs in six months, and faces mass civil unrest.
There are scads of these stories now. The economic meltdown (US nationalizes Citibank Friday- B of A next week, mark my words) will bring one thing for sure- radical politics to everyone. Middle of the road is for prosperity, pain brings political extremes.
Israel has elected the most far-right, fascist, belligerent (so much for the "outpost of democracy") government in decades. Israel so far has been shielded from most of the economic trouble, due to the fact that the financial world is largely controlled by Zionists. Madoff's de-facto 50B Zionist tax of wealthy Jews did not hurt Israel either. But the buffer will not last. As an export-oriented economy that imports most of its raw materials, Israel's economic existence is unsustainable. The world is broke. How do you steal more when you've already stolen everything?
Commodities are on the way back up. This will help oil=producing nations, especially if they insist on food/resource barter or currency-basket exchanges, rather than worthless dollars. It will hurt resource-poor nations like Israel. Watch for a collapse of the sheckel to follow a collapse of the dollar. (If you buy physical gold now, even at 1000/oz, you will thank yourself very soon.) Economic collapse in Israel will goad that nation, under the reckless leadership of Bibi, into all-out war. Why? Because if Israel doesn't attack soon, the Zionists will be so broke they won't be able to buy food, much less fuel for their mechanized armed forces.
The current resurgence in commodities prices is the first stirrings of massive global inflation. Central banks have pumped, oh, somewhere in the neighborhood of 12-17, (or 15-20, no-one really knows) trillion dollars of fiat money into the global system (and they aren't done yet!) in the hopes of unfreezing credit markets, but fiat money is debt. Borrowing money from destitute taxpayers to give to banks that are collapsing because they borrowed too much money so they can lend more money to people who already have borrowed too much money... it simply won't work!
The end result will either be a proliferation of Hitlers, Idi Amins, Stalins and Netanyahus, or a One World Government. Which is worse? I don't know...

"if the cat is well fed...." Would you please try to say what you have in mind instead of "...."
You seem very interested in the middle east issue from this comment after "if you want to know the whole story" question and the request for more focus and to follow each point in our discussion.
And if you were trying to be sarcastic, then remember that more awareness of what is going on in the world and around you would improve dramatically your sarcasm mechanism, Comedy always more effective, when criticizing an issue, then the Tragedy style or the melodrama one, but with less awareness your sarcasm will turn against you, it lost it's engine.
Finally regarding your clip which I like! There is a big different between crying for peace while being aware of the objective truth, not mine or yours, and crying for peace while closing our eyes because the truth is painful and ugly.

And midnight if want to really to know the real story then lets take the issue point by point, which i suggested before to gottaloseit but as usual gotta stays with a the point until no way can answer, then gotta has to move to a different story, anther 3-4 days would comeback and open the same failure story before and as the subject is a new one. I don't mind this it is always good to keep breaking false logic it is a good exercise but it is boring some times, like a well fed cat playing with a drowsy little mouse while watching TV, sorry for the awful example, I know you love spiders!!
Then ask gotte to start a point, history, reloigin, antisematism, terroresim, any point, and lets break it down piece by piece and see the whole logic behind gotta and his facts evidences, and documents see them thoroughly, and the same to mine which won't make a %10 of Grassroots facts.
I am sure gotta would rather to attack me or my talk without providing evidences or facts, and this is exactly what gotta once said before and it is so easy to go back and read the rest of the threads, I don't know if gotta think that the old comments are gone, and not available any more, if you don't find the repeating damming talk i can quote them to you. Simply staying with the point, or keep building up our discussion based on the previous talk, would be like gotta' logic is committing a suicide. Like that little poor mouse decided to look directly to the eyes of the cat and start attacking!!

Also an illegal occupier has no right to talk about the solution, kept it to yourself gotta. Criminal and want to provide the solution in the same time, really funny, and they want to help their victims, your lies are clear and if you don't admit them that doesn't mean you can run away from prosecution. Criminal are going to be prosecuted.
