Recent estimates place the death toll of The Great Leap Forward and its corresponding famine at 45 million deaths,

You are hopelessly out-dated. In the first decade of this century, I read on the web the number had grown to 100 million. I am pretty sure that it will grow to 10 billion by mid-century. 😀

Here we are 5th of October 2023, how prophetic this article was.
No, it was not prophetic it was just a well-informed article written by someone with real knowledge and understanding of Russia and the USA and the world at large.
I am not myself a military expert, a foreign affair expert or economic expert but when the economic sanctions started rolling in 2022 I was knowing exactly where it was going to end for Europe: poorer people and the elites clamping down on us the people.
Very depressing, specially when I have never voted for one of these stupid elites who are leading all of us to hell.

missed out two critical things… the US dominates big tech and big pharma… it also prints the money…

It will try to secure its world domination through these intangible and system powers… I hope it fails but this is the score…

In the article “Niall Ferguson Has No Idea” (https://smoothiex12.blogspot.com/2021/08/niall-ferguson-has-no-idea.html) you quote from a book that has a chapter title of “Victory At All Costs”. Which book does that quote come from ?

But what is clear from all I read from Western commentators is that they view Chinese actions and intentions through the lenses of their own attitudes.

Why is that surprising? Through what other lens would they view others?

Entire continents colonized, tens of millions genocided.

“Did you know? Recent estimates place the death toll of The Great Leap Forward and its corresponding famine at 45 million deaths, far greater than the number killed in WWI. Two-three million of the deaths were due to torture and execution.”

As for colonization, clearly the Red Chinese are trying to catch up using globalist propaganda and spies.

“Why did such a brilliant nation fail to dominate history? Where is the naval history? ”

Domination of History
Because China had started to lose its appetite for territorial expansion by about 1000 AD. It has stayed almost the same geographically until about 1700 when it was incorporated by a non-Chinese people, the Manchus, into their Qing Empire which lasted till 1911. The territories of Tibet, Xinjiang and Mongolia were all conquered by the Qing. The modern day PRC, considers itself the successor (after the ROC retreated to Taiwan) to the Qing. You will note that due to the Century of Humiliation, the PRC is super anal about not letting pieces of its territory be carved out by foreigners again.

Naval History
In 1405, decades before the voyages of Columbus. The Chinese Ming Dynasty sent naval fleets of 300 ships and 30,000 sailors and soldiers. They sailed through Southeast Asia, India, Arabia up to East Africa. They set up trade and diplomatic links, but did not colonise a SINGLE petty kingdom. Now you contrast this with the experience of the Europeans. Entire continents colonized, tens of millions genocided.

Clearly the Chinese view of the world and the way their perceive their own place in it is totally different from the Western view.

But what is clear from all I read from Western commentators is that they view Chinese actions and intentions through the lenses of their own attitudes. Westerners cannot comprehend why a technological and powerful people will not dominate others.

But this is not the most interesting thing to me. What is more interesting is why you have even asked these questions, when the answers are easily found on the internet if you were interested. Why is there such ignorance of things non-Western in the West? Is it by accident or design? This is the interesting question to me.

We think the author and most all commenters are are missing the point:

The US Elites already KNOW they’ve destroyed America. The only thing left is for the US Multi-billionaires to keep piling up their riches before the US Ship finally sinks.

Think about it. In the last 50 years, with the onslought of NEO-LIBERALISM, these people have been destroying everything in their sight:
buying off all the politicians
erasing ALL common sense banking rules
exporting millions of decent paying jobs overseas; leaving most American asking, Duh, what happened?
Banks/Insurance/Real Estate Elitists have pulverized most all of the decent wage jobs;
indebting millions if not most Americans with credit card, mortgage, auto & home loans.

On goes the laundry list of these predators, to the point now, that IF/WHEN the US Hegemony dies, they’ll say:

“SO WHAT? We’re now multi-billionaires. Hell, we’ve stolen so much for the last 50 years, that our grand kids and great grand kids will have an easy LIFE.

THAT is what is going on!!! The US Ship will sink and they’ll go on with their extravagant lifestyles, no matter what.

n America, it’s been almost 50 years since “NEO-LIBERALISM” was adopted in both the USand the UK.
That’s 50 years and what have the US Elites done to destroy America:

Godfree notes: “And for those saying that the position wasn’t paying enough, it paid $12 an hour starting in an area with an extremely low cost of living where property taxes for a 2000 square foot house would be $800-$1000 a year.”

You should listen to Dr. Michael Hudson’s new article on UNZ regarding the huge increase of American INSURANCE: Auto, Home, costs per person along with MEDICAL COSTS, RENTAL COSTS, City Taxes, Water/sewage costs, Food inflation, Prescription medicine costs, Electricity/Natural Gas costs and State/Income taxes.

You add all those costs up, and it’s no wonder why, about 30-35% of the younger generation is still living at home with their parents, grandparents, and/other relatives.

Another words, with the HUGE RISING IN THE COSTS OF LIVING, earning $12.00 an hour simply WON’T CUT IT.

America has, in the last 10 years become a VERY expensive place to live for millions of US citizens.
We can thank the FIRE SECTOR Oligarchs who charge us astronomical fees.

“As a share of GDP, manufacturing has held steady at 18% for a long time, but that’s cold comfort to the millions of manufacturing workers who have no jobs.”

Be VERY careful in how the US configures its GDP.

The US govt. INCLUDES in its GDP the earnings of The Super Elite with its profit-makings each month. It’s money ONLY The Elite are privy to; none of it goes to enhance civilians; ALL of it goes to further “enhance” the profits of the very wealthy.

Wish we could remember the website that explains this very clearly,but it was someone like Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, or Doctor Michael Hudson who first clued us into this fact.

Disclaimer says: “….but the US may have diversified itself into an atrophied version of itself, loosening its hold in Europe.”

All good points are being made here, especially by the author of this subject matter.

We’ve lived long enough in American to sense a terrible decline in most facets of what were the American lifestyle.

What we have witnessed in the last 30+ years is the astronomical rise of America’s Super Elite.
You have thousands of multi-billionaires who are siphoning off billions of “FED” moneys,playing their casino games in The Market…….the list is endless. EVERYTHING has been corrupted by these people:

The Media, All areas of the Social Arena, bought off polticians….bought off Judicial leaders, even the Supreme Court of the US………..
it’s definitely an America in decline.

We welcome the author’s valid points (and others) about how Russia has moved onwards in trading with China, Asia, parts of Latin America, etc. It gives us Americans hope even though hundreds of thousands of American citizens will probably die…………..all because we live in this creaking ship owned by The Elite who are dead set on harming us into total oblivion.

Unfortunately, from what I can tell genz is comprised of 99% savage little idiots. So hoping for that cascading social evolution to happen any time soon appears to be wishful thinking, especially given their collective state of mind are drilled into them via the idiot factories we call schools and popular culture as a whole. Each generation appears to be getting dumber, lazier and more emotionally unstable and it appears to be by design., as if to prevent the scenario you describe, a collective evolution via micro evolution hitting critical mass. Much would have to change for this to happen. The current order seems to be designed specifically to hinder any growth in humanity.

US is in a classic Zugzwang–each next move deteriorates the position.

Thanks. Either you or Anatoly tallied up the forces, Russia’s 200,000 available military and weapons and backyard advantage vs. NATO/US’ forces of 40K and weak logistics, no carriers, few available stealthy assets and especially that the US would need months Russia isn’t going to allow in order to build up so, it looks pretty bleak for US prospects there.

The only winning move is not to play the game. Added bonus: The US, staying out, wouldn’t have the concept of the US’s progressive,, pregnant, gay, tranny, anti-White military force exposed as divided and quite unwilling to fight. They’re in for the jobs, not to fight a ground war for Ukraine. I tell ya, it’s going to happen one day, the entire EEOC strategy exposed, bank it. It would be lovely if the weak, divided military force the US is creating with progressive notions became the thing that ultimately limits harebrained engagements such as this one here over Donbas. I’m convinced the U.S. military is so divided over race, sex, gender, privilege for this group, not for that group, plus lousy EEOC command and lousy discipline that they’ll drop their weapons and refuse to fight, refuse to deploy.

Thanks, Marty.

What happens ashore? Isn’t Ukraine much more isolated now?

In a simpler words–yes, “isolated”, but it does not affect Russia in any way and the game here is much larger. Ukraine is US client and let US deal with this clusterfvck it helped to create and which it cannot protect w/o being paraded either as impotent in case Ukies decide to commit suicide and attack Donbas, or die trying when faced with Russia. US is in a classic Zugzwang–each next move deteriorates the position.

Send in the USS Nebbish.
[commissioned as CVAN-68, “aircraft carrier, attack, nuclear powered”, but she was later redesignated as CVN-68, “aircraft carrier, multi-mission, nuclear-powered”, on 30 June 1975]

Congrats Marty. You were right on the seagoing side. Biden today, April 15, announced the White House wants no extended engagement with Russia and turned two destroyers away from the Black Sea. Russia promptly announced their own blockade of the Black Sea against the Navies of any country from entering the Black Sea. This is in effect until October. I’m not sure which took place first, the announcement of the blockade or Biden Admin’s capitulation and standing down the U.S. Navy from the Black Sea.

But that’s the beauty of Putin, he doesn’t NEED to humiliate. Quietly, he said what he was going to do, the U.S., thankfully, sensibly, for the first time in decades, stood down. That takes the seagoing side out of it for the U.S. and Russia. Now for all we know, Russia is gonna kick the shit outta the Ukraine, and we’ll see if the U.S. capitulates on the Land/Air side of things.

This is good news today, but this deal ain’t over by a damned sight. My money is on Putin, giving 7 points. War over there is unthinkable, that is, for the U.S./NATO and the rest. This is Russia’s backyard. And Putin is holding all the cards by every military measure.

Waddya think, Marty? Got your crystal ball fired up? What happens ashore? Isn’t Ukraine much more isolated now? Only NYPost reported this today. NYTimes and Washpost silent on the subject all afternoon.

Fascinating perspective. Implicit is an impetus for a general awakening of higher consciousness in perhaps 10% of the populace. Do some research on the “Hundredth Monkey” phenomenon for some intriguing insights.

IMHO, a generally heightened level among Americans is maybe at the 3% level, while another 3-4% are approaching that status. For a breakthrough, the Gamer Generation needs some preternaturally wise souls among their company to create some new playzones which elevate rather than enervate the gamer addicted. A meme conducive to self-discovery and cosmic-conscious among Gen Z’s could transform the society in a surprisingly short time.

The US couldn’t beat a Vietnamese peasant, ISIS, or the Taliban. ran now runs Iraq. The US has lost control of its Southern neighbors that are sick and tired of being abused by the dictators we impose on them.

There are little connection between our comments.

Are you living in Australia as an (US citizen) expat?

“If social democracy is so awful”

It is – in my opinion.
It`s re-distribution/ loan financing mechanic is destructive.
It`s legal system is awful.
It destroys merits, destroys society.

Norway is a bad example.
With it`s overwhelming criminalization of the homeless, giant taxes, even some funny event happened when a worker “should” pay more taxes than his WHOLE wage actually was (means over 100% tax).
Society? It`s a mess, just like Sweden and Finnland. Wokistan and feminist utopia.

” Because the government assures the public that if they give these companies tax breaks that they will create new jobs.”
That is a classical. There are many factors outside tax breaks to increase the willingness of employment expansion.

“Why are Americans afraid of a higher minimum wage?”
Probably for the same reason what happens in the EU.
Production goes elsewhere: either East EU, where wages are much less, or outside the EU, where it is even less, also other conditions are more favorable for business.

“Why do Americans associate higher minimum wage or tax spending with Communism ”

I talked about liberal-socialism (or social-democratic).
Not communism.

“Why are Americans so afraid of socialism 31 years after the Berlin Wall came down & other countries have better social safety nets, free health care, free education?”

Americans have less experience about socialism (liberal-left) yet it is growing since the 90`s, and especially since Obama.

Social safety nets: for who?
Anarchists, junkies, the overprivilaged who have an extra hole, minorities, “refuge seekers”, and probably in the end of the list if funds remains in the budget can get some who by core should.
But they are not in priority in a liberal-left to support. Well actually are priority: to get robbed from funds which will re-distributed for the wokie mob.

Free health care?
There are no FREE health care.
That is paid from either taxes, social “contribution”. Which in most cases comes from the workers/ employers (after their workers). So from the productive ones.
Or other federal/ state funds – includes loans.
Quality/ attitude is another matter, that vary between countries.
In many places with “free” health care you must go to private if want a quick/ effective/ complex solution. While still obligated to pay taxes/ contribution…
Where does funds directed? Overwhelmingly towards certain groups, many who do not contributes, but gets services (no: not talking about who temporary cannot contribute). And wokie causes can be financed by the health budget as well.

free education?
Yes, yet in ever increasing number must be a liberal-leftist or feminist or colored, or faggot, or other wokie to get in/ remain there, both as student and teacher.
Teacher? Hm, many more like advocator/ indoctrinating assistant than teacher, and it is less and less about any kind of education.

So finance the enemy with free “education”. Congratulations.
(Some tax money for ISIS perhaps? Even that is a less destructive enemy in a long run.)
And off course because they have the paper they get well paid jobs afterwards (not in production off course). Well for a while, because if they not so much baa with the wokie mob may get canceled.

Overall:
The problem is the liberal-left, and it`s policies, re-distribution, legalization and loan politics: in regard of goverment spending/ incomes (among others).

There are social programs/ socialist policies which can be fine/ neccesary, or simply sensible.
There are no problem with a sensible government intervention (spending, some level of taxation, some regulation).

The question is not: should the government… do this or that.
But:
For what purpose/ goal?
Who`s interest is that?
If tax/ spending: who pays it, and who does benefit from it?

And then:
Yes liberal-left/ can be called social-democratic is bad by fundations, and off course rotting as a whole.
So must be destroyed down to it`s fundations/ roots.

Only on new fundations can be built a better system.

I would submit the biggest obstacles to good governance and why we perpetually face the self destruction of governments are as follows.
Good governance/leadership requires altruism and intelligence. The altruistic typically dont seek power and if they have it, lack the intelligence to make the right decisions. The intelligent who gain power typically lack altruism and use it to their own ends. The larger a society becomes, the more anonymous our leaders become, compounding the challenge of finding those with both qualities. This is a challenge we may never overcome unless humanity can evolve to universal altruism., which coincedentally, ironically would negate the need for governments at all.

No need for supernatural.
Just a total collapse, and a cleaning civil war with no more than 60-75 million dead.
After that can reborn on new fundations.
And come back to power in one generation (25-30 years).

There are only a few Western European state which can made normal with just a 20-25% death toll.

The hispanics will ironically save America.

Just keep them far and away the zionists and sephardic jews like AOC.

A few years ago, what you say here would have been anathema to me. Now, it looks much, much more appealing. The truth is, the USA of today is already mangled; whether it was mangled by design or not, it can’t go back to the 1950s… and such an equal union of American states as you envisage — offering few reasons to flood the north if the south has actual opportunities — is a healthier approach given the real situation on the ground than most of the other proposals making the rounds. While I lament the loss of American cultural homogeneity, I happen to like both Spanish and South America very much personally; and I can well see a new normal in which the average educated person was highly functional in both English and Spanish being stable for a considerable time if it could once be brought into effect. It would no doubt be messier in practice, but the current situation is hardly clean.

The Aryan Expansion vs the Rising Tide of Color

Because US has a holy obligation (from Creator?) to rule the world what has uncontested priority.
Looks like cost of ruling the world is kind of burden.
He he.
BTW you have beaten everybody. You have no opposition. Congrat.

America is so fucking doomed. Supernatural intervention is required. But methinks the Supernatural will not intervene, for the rotting stench of America is too overwhelmingly malodorous for even a Supernatural Entity that has the best defenses against the smell of intense rot…….

“7. Why was the US slightly better under Bill Clinton when corporate taxes were higher & went downhill during the Bush era?”

It wasn’t because of the taxes. Bill Clinton happened to be President when the PC became ubiquitous in U.S. business and increased productivity immensely. The largest gains in productivity were already baked in by the time Bush became President.

American Expat Questions

1. Just where did neo-liberalized uber free market capitalism get the USA? Sidewalks full of human excretion from homeless? Tent cities? Rust-belts?
2. If social democracy is so awful why do Australia & NW Europe have a higher quality of life than the USA. And they do overall.
3. Norway uses its oil as windfall & Texas privatizes it. Both are oil-rich. Which has better infrastructure, less crime, better public transportation, less economic inequality? Right outside Dallas & Houston skylines build by oil companies is stark poverty & ghettos, some of the worst in the USA. Why? Because the government assures the public that if they give these companies tax breaks that they will create new jobs.
4. Why hasn’t a higher minimum wage destroyed Australia & why is their economy fine & standard of living higher? Why are Americans afraid of a higher minimum wage? It worked in Australia & New Zealand.
5. Why do Americans associate higher minimum wage or tax spending with Communism when Australia & Norway are not Communist?
6. Why are Americans so afraid of socialism 31 years after the Berlin Wall came down & other countries have better social safety nets, free health care, free education?
7. Why was the US slightly better under Bill Clinton when corporate taxes were higher & went downhill during the Bush era?
8. Why do the US hick GOP support wars overseas? What is gained for them?
9. Why does the USA resist the same economic models that Australia & NW Europe employ when those countries still have wealthy people.
10. Why don’t more Americans compare their country to Australia or NW Europe?

What a fabulous post. My point has been that our constitution assigns COngress and the White House the responsibility to “promote the general welfare”. and you will never hear those words or any proposal in support of those words coming out of DC, with the possible exception of a few progressives that constitute a minority limited in power.

I’m going to get his book right away.

I agree for the most part, but it is not that the US cannot manufacture items such as TVs, mobile phones, etc. There has been a conscious choice not to. The controlled demolition of the American economy (and by extension Canada and other “Western” countries) began with Volker’s high interest rates through the 70s and 80s, along with loosened trade rules, including lower tariffs.
I’ll give you an example of how the scam works in the “West”. In the early/mid 70s, the cost of living in the UK was related to the income. For example earning the equivalent of $100 a week ($2.50 an hour) would be a very good wage in the UK, but not in the US. By the end of the 80s, you would be paying, in pound sterling, what you would be paying in US dollars for the same product. They simply lowered the US standard of living to that of the UK and manipulated currencies to achieve it. Globalization was well on the way. The same was true in Asia. What was manufactured in Taiwan for pennies, was sold in Taiwan for pennies, but in the US for dollars.
Then, the old GATT “dumping” rules went out the window. At one time there had to be an internal market for the product, otherwise a product was “dumped” unless there was a specific agreement between countries to waive the provisions. The Japanese were allowed to sell TVs in North America, even though their electrical system was 220V 50Hz. The TVs were, in essence, made only for export. The same could be said for cars. The UK and Japan have RHD vehicles. The UK exports were converted versions, which were also sold on the continent. Other than the early years, the Japanese cars were specifically designed for the US. The US stood back and allowed the most flagrant example of dumping to occur. Toyota built a car plant in Germany, built a car, marketed as “a German car”, which was only available in North America, and called it a Lexus. I’m not going to say that US automakers haven’t shot themselves in the foot, they have. My point is that our so-called “representatives” in government, only represent their own interests, as determined by their corporate donors, not the interests of the electorate.
Free trade isn’t free. It has a cost to the electorate.

Somewhat ironic, because by the time of the Constitutional Convention, the Monarchs in the UK were virtually powerless. There only function in “creating” law was signing a law enacted by Parliament. The best they could manage was a delay in signing, not a veto.

The Yank WASP Elite was acting out being the Brit WASP Empire 2.0.

Well, yes, and no. The Brit WASP elite influence ended in 1660. The Puritans were/are protestants, not Protestants, and many consider them not to be Christians at all. It was the Puritans who led the way in allowing their country to be controlled by the quiet invasion of bankers, and subsequently became controlled by the merchant class. While the US started as an isolationist country based mainly on agriculture, the business interests gained control, in the mid 19th century, and the US has been expansionist since that time.
The “Empire” is a business model.

Merchants have no country. The mere spot they stand on does not constitute so strong an attachment as that from which they draw their gains.

Thomas Jefferson

All three of these treatises discuss and demonstrate that the U.S. Constitution was primarily designed to support the interests of the Colonial elites.

It’s really goofy. US Constitution fans simultaneously believe that the Constitution aimed at creating a republican order reminiscent of the Roman republic (which is true enough) and that this wasn’t a conspiracy by the elites to maximize their own wealth and power (which is bizarre). I mean, whose interests do they think the Roman republic served? The plebs’?

When one reads substantial sources on the American Revolution, a reader will quickly come to the question as to why there was a “revolution� in the first place.

Absolutely, and this goes to the first point as well. The Revolution saved us from suffering the horrible fate of Canada. Not exactly a boon to all Americans. So who did benefit? Why did it happen? To serve the Colonial elite and for no other reason. They got richer and more powerful. Nobody else saw their life change much for the better.

Dugin often controversial but more often right.

If only this came true. Too logical and peaceful for the powers that be.

But how can anyone believe Martyanov who says:

“Cringeworthy in its sheer falsity and insufferable pathos—the economic equivalent of Chamberlain’s “Peace in Our Timeâ€� 1938 proclamation, after signing the Munich capitulation to Hitler”.

That’s ridiculous and goes against the actual facts.
Chamberlain made a fair & just deal for all involved. Martyanov doesn’t know what he’s talking about when it comes to Chamberlain’s ‘appeasement’ that wasn’t.

“Kookish spellings” is quite revelatory of your status as an academicist and quite probably a convicted rationalist and materialist as well. Your pedantic poseur position is intellectually vapid and indicates an authoritarian streak which you tend to project towards the opinions of those who do not adhere to your Chicago Book of Style standards of pious pomposity.

For your inflammation, my utilization of dollar $igns to signal the identity of the Bank$ter elite which controls essentially each and every major institution in this ruptured republic happens to be a symbological embed, which informed individuals recognize on both a conscious and subconscious level.

Thus, the U$ Army is indicative of the fact that the highest levels of Flag rank; the level of corruption via the WarDefen$e Indu$try (aka Malcom Moos’/ Eisenhower’s “Military Industrial Complex) is rife throughout the thoroughly brown-nosed constant climbers of the Chain of Command $crotum Pole unto a glorious cre$cendo as an extremely well paid lobbyi$t for that afore-mentioned consortium.

Referencing Daddy WarBu$h, signals his descent from one Prescott Bu$h, an archetypical Connecticut Yankee who was the prime bagman for the Union Bank of New York on behalf of the Brown and Harriman Crime Clans. Bu$h pater’s contribution was to engender a huge loan from those venturing capitalists to one Fritz Theissen, who with that funding, was enabled to establish Nazi Germany’s largest steelworks at the now Polish city of Oswiecim (aka Auschwitz).

As for the United $tates of America Corporation, it is strikingly evident and obvious that you have dismissed this factual reality out of hand without doing the essential depth research (needless to say without parroting the “on message” presentations of Gooble or Wickedpedia.)

I associate with Zarathustra in asking you to not leave. We all need moments of comic relief and you proved to be one of the best jesters around, even if not ‘always’.

Going back to your reply to me, I agree that “We The People” is dishonest. The Declaration wasn’t law, though. It was a message to a king, and can easily be interpreted as “we the people who are managing this thing”. I agree that it might’ve been better to be more explicit.

In any case, the law which forbade women/africans (all non-euros)/poor from voting existed. Laws regarding both ethnicity and character of immigrants existed. It took time for popular support to begin eroding the designs of the founders. I don’t know what the USA would look like if, for example, African slaves were returned to Africa, women were never allowed the vote, and Jews were denied entry due to their historical character, but I’m almost sure it would look better than it does now. What if Hart-Celler 1965 had never been passed?

Perhaps the phrase “We The People” in a message to a king is the sole reason that the laws, themselves, were destroyed but I doubt it. If a force willing to destroy laws exists it will manufacture a pretense if one cannot be easily found. A change to that sentence wouldn’t have changed the outcome. A sentence isn’t that powerful.

Back to the human condition. Liars win in the short term as they avail themselves tools unavailable to the honest. The Liars eventually win control over too much of a civilization. “Too much” in the sense that a civilization cannot tolerate an unlimited amount of liars in its hierarchy, as nature, the ultimate judge, isn’t fooled by lies. This is the repetitive story.

I am crying now. Please do not leave. Just try to be more factual and reasonable.
Any person who comes to this site with a stormy attitude and try to impress and teach everybody will receive strong opposition. By leaving you would show your tender vulnerable will and lack of endurance and stamina. You would part as a looser. So man up even if you are a woman.

She or He lol

Your insults are unable to stop the disintegration process.

The enabling precursor for the Const. in order to be ratified by the states, was addition of the first ten Amendments to that document, the Bill of Rights.

You don’t understand my remarks, and the BoR is irrelevant in any case to the issues I raised. The alleged “Establishment” of the Constitution took place in June of 1788. The BoR was approved by Congress more than a year later, in Sept. 1789, and adopted in Dec. 1791. Your comment, however, involves some marginal quibbling about a political deal, viz., acceptance of the C in exchange for a promise of a BoR. In fact, I’m concerned about the plain mendacity and perversity of the preamble, the deceitfulness of A7, and the technical matter of when and how to ratify and establish the C, assuming for just a moment that it’s even logically possible. These issues would remain had the con artists reneged on their promise of a BoR.

Finally, whether or not the courts adhere now to the content and substance of the C is secondary to the fact that they affirm it as “the supreme Law of the Land”. This maintains the appearance of legitimacy in the eyes of the many Americans who are gullible enough to believe that the C is law.

P.S. Nice work with the kookish spellings (“U$ Army”, “WarBu$h”, etc.) and crank ideas (“the United $tates of America CORPORATION”). I’m sure that you’ve dissuaded a dozen potential dissidents with that noise during the last 10 years.

“the United States as it exists today has no future-
Prophetic words!”

Literally, this is an Economic Jeremiad. And everyone’s comments are all, ‘But, but,… muh free enterprise! ANYTHING but the reality….

RELIGION is the only thing that will turn the tide- and only Orthodox Christianity is the sole option. But Unz’s readership have all been talmuddied in the brain, one way or another, so ‘fingers in ears.’ In that regard, you’re all Leftists.

That recent Manifesto by Dugin should be re-read, along with the 1995 Unibomber’s screed.

Here’s just one section from Dugin:

“So we have determined our place on the scale of history. And in doing so, we got a fuller picture of what the Great Reset is all about. It is nothing less than the beginning of the “last battle”. The globalists, in their struggle for nominalism, liberalism, individual liberation and civil society, appear to themselves as “warriors of light,” bringing progress, liberation from thousands of years of prejudice, new possibilities – and perhaps even physical immortality and the wonders of genetic engineering, to the masses.

All who oppose them are, in their eyes, “forces of darkness”. And by this logic, the “enemies of open society” must be dealt with in their own severity. “If the enemy does not surrender, he will be destroyed.” The enemy is anyone who questions liberalism, globalism, individualism, nominalism in all their manifestations. This is the new ethic of liberalism. It’s nothing personal. Everyone has the right to be a liberal, but no one has the right to be anything else.”

Here’s a link to the latter:

Point 18 “…The leftist’s feelings of inferiority run so deep that he cannot tolerate any classification of some things as successful or superior and other things as failed or inferior. This also underlies the rejection by many leftists of the concept of mental illness and of the utility of IQ tests. Leftists are antagonistic to genetic explanations of human abilities or behavior because such explanations tend to make some persons appear superior or inferior to others. Leftists prefer to give society the credit or blame for an individual’s ability or lack of it. Thus if a person is “inferiorâ€� it is not his fault, but society’s, because he has not been brought up properly.”

And this ain’t no jive:

In the Hamptons, if drive behind a car with the iconic 1960’s piece sign on the bumper…..well, move up and around and look at the driver….it’s always a middle aged White Boomer Woman who voted for the old farting hairy lesbian Hillary Clinton in the hopes that Hillary’s boys in the Azov Brigade would fire lots of artillery shells into Donbass kindergarten classes….and if they artillery shells hit a young pregnant Russian Donbass W0man….blowing her fetus out with umbilical chord attached……even better……….And this is the Foreign Policy of the…all-grown-up-now …White Boomer Women who whored around at the 1969 Woodstock Concert….

Well if you represent the alternative…..

Yup, just another useful idiot for the kremlin

They must love you guys

Oven ready idiots of the useful variety for Putin

Just look at that dumb comment about the city of London,wow what utterly stupid brainless nonsense

I bet you read David Icke

Hahahahahaha 😂😂😂😂

To much kremlin kool aid me thinks

Anyways I’m out of here to many kremlin cretins for my liking

First: try to be a bit more objective. Multiple studies I’ve seen put the average IQ in China at 105 which is great so there’s no reason to cherry-pick the absolute highest number you can find o the net.

Second: a 108 IQ population with Standard Deviation of 15 would result in approximately 28% of them scoring in a two-digit range. Surely, you’re not suggesting that they’re not “allowed in the labour pool”. Maybe you’re overestimating your own IQ.

You are over-emotional about the disintegration of Ukraine. You should accept that Crimeans and Donbass people want to leave this failed state. The concept you are unable to comprehend is called Democracy.

The enabling precursor for the Const. in order to be ratified by the states, was addition of the first ten Amendments to that document, the Bill of Rights. Though long the only bulwark against federal over-reach up and down the line; the B of R was effectually eviscerated by the Patriot Suppression Act (they did not properly give it that fully descriptive title) as a result of the 9-11-01 Inside Job and sending U$ Army created anthrax packages to the two senators most well positioned to oppose the legislation.

Another Senator, Minnesota’s Paul Wellstone, was assassinated via the crash of his plane, some two weeks before the 2002 election. The same tactic was used to murder JFK Junior, when with his magazine “George”, he appeared to be ready to “out” Daddy WarBu$h (George Herbert Walker Bush) for his longtime role as the CIA’s organizer of the ill-fated Bay of Pigs operation and his probable role as the organizer of 11-11-63 in Dallas.

Reform is not possible under the Constitution, anyway, as it was effectually replaced under the ACT of 1871, where Congre$$ and a compliant president, in order to meet usurious Civil War debts to London Bank$ters (the Rottenchild Crime Clan & Unindicted co-conspirators); Congress (1. made the American people into surety for those loans and (2. established the United $tates of America CORPORATION under the laws of the $tate of Delaware (a Dupont crime family fiefdom). So since 1871 and enhanced by Congre$$ and a blackmailed Woodrow Wilson, to surrender creation and control over the nation’s money supply to the World Bank$ter Cabal.

Thus, the Constitution is a dead-letter and has not been recognized as the primary source of law by the courts (the effectual Monarchy) for many decades.

Woo Woo. Someone has swallowed the mass media of mesmerization, monotoned messaging and mind-control memes, hook, line and stinker.

English targeting by Russia? Okay, but it’s not the English “race”, the people of that Sceptred Isle. Rather, the targeting should be non-nuclear, but highly specific: Maybe a dozen hypersonics to rain down on City of London some Monday morning around 9:30 a.m.

City of London, in case you don’t know, is a privately-owned, independent realm also known as “the square mile” where even Busy Lizzy, now the world’s most prominent widow as well as being the planet’s premiere landowner; needs to inform the Lord Mayor of the C of L as to her intentions to pay their eminences a social call—special regalia and all that, so that all know who’s calling the shots. The City is the world headquarters of banking, insurance, shipping, metals and various other minor monopolies. Rottenchild Bank should be first on the target list.

Without C of L, the world banking cabal would literally lose it’s head. Confusion would reign. Even Wall $treet would have people looking up through the windows to see whether they are next. Langley and the Pentagram would include scenes of top administrators tearing out their hair. Worldwide, people who are informed and knowledgeable would be cheering.

You do not speak PHD language so you are nobody!

Ok have it your way,or rather Putin’s

But it’ll be slam dunk and not to Russian liking

Oh,and what a silly thing to say that Russia has won the arms race! Like it some sort of start and finish line

Well Russia couldn’t compete last time, rather the Soviet system couldn’t and Russia currently isn’t stronger

Don’t expect any help from china,they’ll see Russia under Putin for what he is,a total liability

I see erdogan is backing Ukraine for NATO membership,maybe Turkey should lone Ukraine some of those S400 wiz bang things with all the fabled power they give,which is basically more Russian BS!

Yes, the human condition is powerful, but there is a problem with your comment where it reads

If a government is built upon lessons of the past and takes every precaution against devolution into mob/idiot/resentful rule

In fact, the con artists in Philly ignored important lessons of the past and seeded their pseudofederation with a powerful enticement for rabble rousers, scam artists, wastrels, and the bottom class. The means of self-destruction was embedded in the system at the very beginning.

For two fatal problems with the USA, see the preamble of the Constitution where it reads “We the People”. First, the phrase is a brazen lie in historical terms, for fewer than 50% of “the People” ordained and established the Constitution. Such dishonesty at nearly the very beginning of a political project will poison that project forever. It will normalize and encourage habitual lying, thus making honesty in daily politics a chump’s hobby. On the other hand, anyone who detects the lie is positioned to destroy the reputations of the founders and subsequent members of the ruling class. These truth tellers will be hated intensely and ostracized, if possible. This development cannot improve the stability of a system already suffering from design flaws.

A more important problem with the phrase “We the People” is that it plants in the thoughts of the populace the pernicious idea that absolutely everyone has some authority to rule and a right to participate in the establishment of the state and the law which will govern them. Not even children, habitual drunks, and congenital fools were excluded, but surely it would not have been controversial to count children as “People” who have no authority. So if the holy Fathers had been truthful, prudent men, they would have begun with a defensible phrase like ‘We the qualified Adults’. But then they’d have been different men altogether (and probably some women, too), not the clever, impatient schemers who met in Philadelphia during the summer of 1787.

Since the topics of Martyanov’s essay include Russia, some people might be wondering if the constitution of Russia has any similar defect. It appeared so to me when I last looked at Russia’s several years ago. (Granted, I read only an English translation made available by the Russian government.) At the time I was looking for a passage similar to Article VII of the USA’s constitution. A7 claims to state the law of “Ratification” and “Establishment” of the Constitution, but it was used as if it were the law before it had been ratified and established, just as if its publication alone were sufficient to make it the law. One does not need a degree in philosophy or computer science to figure out the problem there: The con [law] artists in Philly presupposed the lawfulness of their own scribbling, then used that presupposition to manufacture consent to their populist reorganization of the empire. They pretended that A7 is “the supreme Law of the Land” before the Constitution itself could have been the supreme law of the land.

Now, competent, honest republicans would have known that Article VII didn’t need to be included. If the provision were lawful for its ostensible purpose, it had to have been established independently. So at most it is a restatement of relevant law, but we have a good reason to doubt that it’s even this much. The Constitution’s apologists never explain exactly how and when the substance of Article VII became law, and con law texts for law students and scholars just glide right by the matter with a few perfunctory words. Totally absent from American con law and politics is a coherent theory of how to convert the other parts of the Constitution into “the supreme Law of the Land”. One kook in Texas, I think, with a popular website insisted that the same trick is used in statutes. (This neatly impeaches the output of legislatures, which was not the conclusion that he was looking for.) So how is it unfair to conclude from all this that the apologists have no justification at all for their faith and, at most, only a thin reed of precedent of the States’ constitutions upon which to rest their hopes? The Constitution is fake law, and the USA is a doomed system because her system is a fraud.

Gurney’s was Dick and Pat Nixon’s weekend getaway back between 1971-1974….the humpback whales stayed away a long time due to the revolting stench that came from one of the rooms at Gurney’s….No amount of Lysol could destroy the malodorous bacillus that came off from Dick’s and Pat’s sex organs……true story…

Zelensky and Kiev are another revolting malodorous bacillus……Iskanders loaded with napalm might do the job….I hope Iskanders and napalm are not in short supply in the Russian Military….The stench is most revolting….

Ha ha, and likewise!

God, we’d be an amazing power! Rich, prosperous, united and completely defensible. A vast population for work, but one no longer susceptible to previously possible exploitation, and with a wealthier South, the wealth would circulate on the continent to the rest of us too.

We wouldn’t need much of a military as well, being a gigantic island border by oceans on all sides, and a canal at the bottom.

We’d put Australia to shame.

I was just thinking of making every province a state. Every province. Every Estado.

We can drop the stars on the flag and just have some dragons. Dragons are cool anyway.

So like there were humpback whales all over the place out by Gurney’s a few weeks back..and they had nothing good to say about the Western Ukrainians…so the humpback whales all decided to fart in the general direction of Zelensky and Kiev….I thought that was kind of groovy man…true story…

President Putin is wrong when he says ( in Munich security conference 2007) that Russia should or will target the missile on Europe if america goes with anti missile defence plan in Poland in Europe.

]In fact it was not America but england which asked for ABM against Russia. BBC spy journalists were harassing presidential candidate Gore not to go ahead with Florida recount on ground� ally like britian want to conclude AMB deployment in Yorkshire as soon as possible so there should be no delay in govt. formation.� In other word accept fraudulent win of bush for sake of england !
Russia must target (rather than should) the nuclear missiles with multiple war heads against all ( including military instalations) of england because this cold war -like the one before- is being started by england for the benefit of english race only-.it is race war between the english parasite race versus the rest of the world-the sooner the rest of the world realizes that better it is for the world.
look how Germany was vilified soon after fall of soviet union-look how russia is being vilified immediately after Putin made russia strong.
Russia’s “partners” understand only two things: the big wallet and the big gun, as satan understands only Saint George’s spear. Time is near.
-such is the evil propaganda of british spies inside america. .
Poland is nothing but a proxy for the british bastards.
It is no use targeting Poland -target the main villain which is england and the english nation which must be sorted out by the world.
http://www.globalresearch.ca/new-world-order-the-founding-fathers/5445255

face 0f the evil.

When someone asked Bismark once what he would do if the British invaded, he said he’d have the border police arrest them (or words to that effect).-thaqt is how low the germans thought of the English army capability –and the Germans were right as was shown the cowardice of non fighting coward English trrops in both world wars-they instigated others to fight but remained behind in actual fighting till late.
Remember Bismarck said that when the pirate empire called british empire was at height of her pseudo power-in other words Prussians could defeat the English race at the height of their so called power. and that was at height of pirate empire of the british at Victoria’s time.And rightly so. english then and now are ready to fight only unarmed civilians.
Prussia was the strongest army in the world at that time. It tells you how low English race is compared to the Germans and how much Germans could have gone up had they been not made to fight Russian in plot created by the English race-that plot is called world war 1 and WW2.

Russian naivety

   Russia wanted to be cheated so she was cheated.deliberately living in delusion despite evidence to the contrary

What has putin and his traitor FM lavrov done in last 5 years ,? Calling for ceasefires in Donbass ( in2015 ) and in Syria ( 2016) when pro  Russian side was winning ? Why?
To please Anglo-Saxon who are real enemy of Russia.
Never learnt bugging this moron Russia.
Still rooting for INF treaty which protects her main enemy England  1500miles west  and which Russia has to tackle whether she wants it not because her main enemy’s plot is to create war between two strong nations in Europe andand t watch on the side line .
Germany and Russia beware ! 3rd world war has been in way for last 5 years

More naivety of lavrov and Putin

. like sanctions on NK imposed this year,

sanctions and breaking deal with Iran etc,

shear cowardice and ignorance shown when dealing with Georgia and Ukraine etc.,
arming Muslim fundamentalists in Azerbaijan against historical orthodox brothers and allies in Armenia (it’s Serbia all over again),
cooperating with Israel against Russian allies in Syria,
keeping Belarus at arms length because Lukashenko doesn’t like Putin’s criminal oligarchs and much, much more.
With friends like that why would anybody need enemies? Is there any wonder that Russia is cornered and can never win a nuclear war.

Russia needs to eliminate England only as a serious trouble maker the english pirate race has been

Ten topol nukes will sort out england  for ever

My recommendation for Russia

LOL.

Traitor FM lavrov

    This Minsk 2 was forced on Donbass by Russian FM lavrov and Putin to rescue British and American mercenaries trapped in enclaves in Donbass in February 2015.
Anglo-Saxon did not spare Russian mercenaries in Syria in 2018.

Foolish Russians were saying that sanctions would be lifted by December 2014 !
Those who do not know their enemies ,are doomed to perish !!

“not competitive”

The whole western economy is non-copetitive.

And it comes down to fundations.
The old wild-capitalism was competitive because it cared for:
– effective production
– profit based on production

There were no overwhelming paid holidays, various subsidies, support, artificial high wages, free services for wokies, extra privilages for protected groups/ minorities.
And mainly were no crazy left-liberal-feminist-wokie equity legal system at all.

Right now all Taygetus positive survives on support without meaningful production.
There is an overwhelming burden in health system because it offers free services for the ones with defects, for erderly, and others who in normal circumstances would be incapable to finance it for themselves.
There is an extensive social system which reward the non-productive.
A higher education system which provides for left-liberals/ advocators, offers extra spaces/ points/ privilages for protected groups, when financed by the productive ones tax money.
Legalisation with all the forced “equality”, quotas, fixed wages (no matter how productive someone).

How much does it cost to take care/ support:
– someone with dementia
– a drug user
– a down-syndrome
– a retard
– all the just for females/ people of color/ lgbt programs/ business startup subsidies
– to run their NGO-s
And there is mile long list.

And the roots of this madness actually did not come from originally the left or socialism.
This emerge from the Church when they definied “The Deserving vs the Undeserving Poor”.
In their dictionary “deserving” was the ones who did not capable to work, or capable only in very limited manner same true to upkeep themselves (alone cannot, or limited).
While “undeserving” was and still the ones who temporary get into a bad situation, but otherwise capable. So instead of support (to make them productive again/ to resolve the problem) they get the stick: workhouse, discriminization, lack of support and disdain.

This is not just a system, it is people too:
Many, when meet with a capable man, who lost his job for reasons outside his influence, and probably housing too think in a manner: “It`s a vagabond, why do not work you lazy bastard? A parasite if get anything, should help on himself: undeserving for support.”
Attitude towards one who with minimal support can be productive again.
While the same persons often happy to make charitable donations/ have no complains when the state does from their tax – for example care homes for the ones who never can be productive. Even if to upkeep such a person does cost during the years… 100 times more, 500 times more, any times more than a temporal help for a capable one…
Sensitizing training?

While the capable provides for the non-capable.
And the “undeserving” (in a Church-leftish definition) in double bad because they temporary cannot provide for the non-capable.
Off course when a capable becames a ruin, a cripple, alcoholic, drug user, madman, whatever becames “deserving”, a poor bastard who “deserve” help/ support. But not before.

The exact opposite of logic.
Only this emerged to an even greater madness with the left-liberal-feminist-wokie equity legal system.

And because not just the health/ social support system infected with this, but the employment too in ever increasing manner off course this makes western economies/ societies non-competitive.

Sure from a business perspective any businessman who is not a total retard will prefer to bring production to elsewhere:
Where workers will do productive work for 2$/ hour and do not demand 15$/ hour, where can employ productive ones, AND NOT forced to employ females/ people of color/ lgbt/ disabled/ others who in many cases less productive/ more troublesome, but have the same rights/ ever more expectations.
Where the manager did NOT GET a “sexual harassment” complain just because did not give extra privilages for a female, did not became “racist” just because kick out a less productive worker, etc…

The USN new policy to decisively defeat the Russian Navy is for all USN Ships to have Commanders with names such as Commander LATASHA LATRINE….from Harlem NY…

Basically the TR model … Nice to see someone else likes the idea of a more United Western Hemisphere

Well i suppose i could have called myself ‘ all ways right’ !

In the sense I’m not wrong,unlike Marty who can pontificate about how terrible the west is,and how its run by dumb stupid people,unlike Russia,wink wink!

I’d take your so called ‘analysis’ of the west more seriously,but i don’t take lectures from people who are citizens of former broken,discredited totalitarian dictatorships,places riddled with criminals from top to bottom,you know the Soviet system,one minute totalitarian communist super state, the next minute the same communist miraculously turned themselves into full blown capitalist!!!!wow just how did they do that?????

I’m afraid the thieving that took place in the collapse of your former country was well established and counter to the claims made,wasn’t a product of the west, it was a fully established way of life of your old and now thankfully extinct country

So your current narrative, about the imminent end of America, is based upon your hate and inability to come to terms with the collapse of the Soviet bent and unsustainable system

As for Putin,well he’s a product of that bent criminal system,he came to power off the back of the Moscow apartment bombings in 1999, funny how no one ever mentions that!

Many think it was a state act of terrorism,the FSB actually got found planting more explosives,i think a certain Mr Putin was in charge of security at the time,which means he’s either incredibly incompetent for not stopping this atrocity or complicit,oh, everyone who was tasked with investigating this crime is now dead!…. how convenient

So it looks like Russia is ruled by an ex KGB idiot or criminal, whatever, he’s done very little to give Russia a truly world class economy,as I’ve mentioned if he had Russia wouldn’t be suffering the current demographic decline and slow brain drain of potentially Russia’s best people,he’d have created a far more dynamic entrepreneurial and creative cultural,but unfortunately for the future of Russia it seems Putin hates things like that,no they’re the products of a liberal western culture trying to destroy Mother Russia,yeah whatever!

My recommendation for Russia would be for the elites and FSB to get rid of Putin before he drags Russia,Europe and America into a disaster

I know you won’t agree but frankly,as I’ve said i dont do lecturers from kremlin shills with a big chip on the shoulder

And just for the really thick and dumb,no I’m not Masha Gessen

It surpassed the USA in PPP terms in 2014

I tend not to use PPP because it is an additional estimate and can be inaccurate.

without the huge edifice of parasitism that is the USA’s financialised economy.

From a planning standpoint, it is bad methodology to assume the US economy is hollow and on brink of collapse. You can believe this and I’m not arguing otherwise on the merits of the claim. But for planning, conservative assumptions should be used for the default scenario. By default, I assume the US economy is not going to grow much over the long term but it will still remain the richest large country in 2050.

Moreover China is now the scientific/technological leader in many fields, and will soon be in the rest.

This is the kind of boastfulness that leads to problems. If you were to divide technology into 40 different fields, in how many areas does China have leading technology? Not many according internal assessments. China is still technologically dependent on the rich world and needs time to become truly developed. Only through sober assessment and hard work over the long haul will China get there. This kind of premature victory declaration leads to bad decisions. For example threatening Taiwan in 2021 rather than waiting to become much stronger.

I suggest you start removing ALL dual citizenship owners from the government
Especially the ones that are God’s chosen people too
Your country would recover in years not decades

We have Masha Gessen on this forum, and she has a new plume de nom “alwayswrite.� Write, “Masha,� write. Nothing exposes the “fighters against Amalek� better than their hate-oozing pronouncements against Russia.

If it is her, then it is not surprising. I mention her lack of any expertise (no surprise here–no systemic education and meaningful professional career) in anything other than writing Russophobic platitudes, in my latest book. But then again, she is an Exhibit A of the current America’s (lack of)expertise in pretty much any meaningful aspect of foreign relations, practical geopolitics, or, rather, what it means nowadays with “geopolitics” being a misnomer for interdisciplinary field of global power balance, and military. She is an embodiment and a symptom of the America’s Russia Studies field.

>The problem is not the system, it is the fact that we are in the process of destroying it.

Are you daft? That a system may be destroyed by hostile elements within it is a problem of the system. If a government is built upon lessons of the past and takes every precaution against devolution into mob/idiot/resentful rule yet succumbs to them, then the government has failed to uphold itself.

This isn’t something that man had ever managed. To create a stable/perpetual state is to do the impossible.

The human condition overrules.

Only if there is an economic pull. Blowing up the pull and push factors removes any need for movement. Set up a border with moratorium at Panama and call it a day. Set a minimum wage too while at it, and abolish corn subsidies or give then to Mexican farmers too. Add industrial jobs being brought from Asia to the Mexican states, and the ending of drug trafficking through the central Americas, there will be no North American migrant population flows. Again, these things happen because of the current economic and political situation.

You could do this without unification, of course, (good to start by fixing here first) but I figure with the connected economies and overlap of peoples, it’s a good deal overall. Plus, we can focus all our Empire building here.

No. Unification means less immigrants, as most of them would live in their home environments when pay is the same and it isn’t any cheaper to hire a Mexican vs. An Anglo American anywhere. Additionally, with industry and agriculture being profitable in Mexico again, they would largely return to their home territories. This being born our by interviews with most legal and illegal migrants.

As I’ve said before, the “Racists� and the Mexicans win out with unification. If a person wants more immigration and race movement in North America, keeping Mexico and the Centro American states as vassals feeding labor to subsidized corn farms and lower other businesses is the current and “preferred� course of action. This is why destroying that option is best.

Total nonsense. of course abolishing the borders would lead to a huge mestizo population, obvious.

Losers of a civil war can’t be “independent”. US-China relations are rocky because the US interferes by helping get elected and independence leaning party in Taiwan. Anyone with a quarter of a brain has know for the past 40 odd years that would cause a re-igniting of the Chinese civil war. Washington is the cause as Tapei (like Tokyo) has to take orders.

Same with Nordstream 2… It is not really US business other than not wanting Russia to have a closer relationship with European countries.

Believing that ‘the Jews’ control China is paranoid psychopathy raised to the nth degree. A deal of Sinophobic contempt in there, too, I would imagine.

Another, now ubiquitous lie, which I just heard again on the CIA’s ABC radio here in Austfailia, is that ‘Russia invaded Georgia’. The sneak Georgian attack, led by the USA Quisling psychopath Saakashvilli, on South Ossetia, followed by Russian response, has now been officially memory-holed by the presstitute vermin. Stalin, that good Georgian, in disappearing his old comrades from pictures, was a beginner compared to these presstitute scum.

That’s harsh on Begin.

Concerning textile industry.
Making yarn and weaving is highly automated. But making final products as shirts and pants etc. is actually very labor intensive. And those jobs were exported to China and India.

I must disagree that US corporations developed China’s economy for China. Most of the manufacturing capacity were from manufacturers on Hong Kong and Taiwan who were expecting the PRC to collapse “any day now” and they could make China fully capitalist. Then Singapore got in on it for business purposes. Japan followed after. Germany got in too. Had US companies not started outsourcing their manufacturing what would have happened? Japanese and German brands would have had an immense advantage over US brands. German and Japanese brands did not destroy their local manufacturing even while making bags of money in China. Japan’s problems are caused by other issues.
Can you honestly say that US industrial workers would have kept US companies competitive in the global market? Maybe the in the US if protective barriers were put up – but otherwise….??

Even now as China moves up the value chain – those same contract manufacturers are not making socks and underwear in China… They themselves are moving those things to much cheaper locations in South East Asia – and even Africa to a less extent.

You make good points…. I can’t understand how many don’t realize that US manufacturing became so dominant because of the 2 World Wars. The world was bound to re-balance.

Just imagine Menachem Begin’s twin sister.

Very interesting piece. Thank you.

These days, I rarely watch Hollywood TV or movies. I’m enjoying Russian and Chinese films and shows (English subtitles) that I find on Youtube. The latter are refreshingly free of “Woke” preachiness (although, admittedly, possessing underlying ‘key messaging’ of their own). I’m waiting for Youtube to soon start cancellation . . .

I’ve lived overseas and have no illusions that there is a “perfect” place anywhere on the planet. There are simply degrees of “bad” i.e. Bad vs less bad. Having said that I’ve seen the coarseness of America over the decades and it is to weep

“Share of GDP is ridiculous. US manufactures Jet Fighters, Rockets, Weapons Systems with VERY BIG price tags so GDP is inflated.”

True… But it also proves that the US defense budget is an anvil for US taxpayers

Surely, if what Putin has done for Russia is failure, then what is your definition of success and what is your take on the US trajectory since Putin took over Russia?

Secondly, the Chinese have not yet shown those tendencies that you are alluding to, unless resolution of border issues and sea issues with their neighbours is what you are referring to. What evidence is there of imperialism to lands beyond their immediate borders? And if non exists, then what you refer to is not imperialism. In fact, China has resolved all her border issues except with India which doesn’t seem to want that resolved — afaik.

Thirdly, just to take up for Andrei — not that I know him — but I think he migrated to the US when Russia was being dismantled by the very US, i.e. in other words prior to Putin and Russia’s turnaround. There are many factors to migrating, particularly if you already have family ties and their relationships to their friends and companions etc, property issues and so forth, and probably most of all, if you are retired and starting over may be daunting or whatever. So, the refrain of go “back to Russia or Africa and some such” is frankly infantile to say the least.

From Wiki

Gessen is nonbinary and trans and uses they/them pronouns.[4][5] Gessen has written extensively on LGBT rights.[6] Described as “Russia’s leading LGBT rights activist,”[7] they have said that for many years they were “probably the only publicly out gay person in the whole country.”[8] They now live in New York with their wife and children.[9]

I won’t post a picture because it makes Medusa look like Marilyn Monroe.

Speakng of numbers and perceptions, it’s worth pointing out that the map atop this article uses the highly misleading Mercator projection, which distorts the sizes of northern lands, especially Russia, Canada, Greenland, and Alaska, (and to a lesser degree China and the continental USA), making them appear much larger physically than they actually are.

This map from nature index shows the actual size of each country overlaid on the familiar but misleading Mercator projection:

Wow just think of that why in a hundred years Russia won’t have any population at all and the London and Wall Street bankers can take it over without firing a shot, we never have to worry about being subsumed by anyone else for the simple fact is we are immensely dislike by most of the world and hated by the rest, people and their dreams…

Be charitable. When I left the US a couple decades ago, there were still plenty of people with good values. Could it have been so thoroughly corrupted so quickly?

Having said that, I drove through what used to be the Bible Belt a few years ago and saw large billboards along the Interstate advertising a sex shop, so maybe you have a point.

My understanding is that China had opened up to foreign investment in the late 1970s after the death of Mao in September 1976, and the arrest of the Gang of Four the following month brought Mao’s Cultural Revolution to an end.

Economic reforms began during the “Boluan Fanzheng” period, especially after Deng Xiaoping and his reformist allies rose to power with Deng replacing Hua Guofeng as the paramount leader of China in December 1978. By the time Deng took power, there was widespread support among the elite for economic reforms. As the de facto leader, Deng’s policies faced opposition from party conservatives but were extremely successful in increasing the country’s wealth

In 1979, China established what Deng Xiaoping called “special zones” in six coastal areas:

The Shenzhen Special Economic Zone (Chinese: 深圳ç»�济特区), was established in May 1980, and is the first special economic zone in the People’s Republic of China. Five other special economic zones have since been established.

For those who may not know, Shezhen is home to the biggest electronic markets in the world. Chances are there is something on your desk right now that was built in the Chinese city, including components or the actual PC, laptop, and smartphone, along with the mouse, keyboard, and LCD monitor.

In my view, it was the market demand for “IBM compatible” PC clones that fueled China’s economic growth during the 1980s, even though many of these computers were US designs, the parts came from Taiwan and eventually mainland China.

Finally, as I see it, the Soviet Union did not collapse but at all, but rather was methodically dismantled at the hands of Premier Mikhail Gorbachev.

“Tear down this wall, Mr. Gorbachev!”

It’s that line from a 1989 speech by Pres. Ronald Reagan, the former Hollywood actor, that makes me think the entire so-called “collapse of the Soviet Union,” was scripted and part of a plan.

Of course, Reagan didn’t really cover up his wife’s former Red sympathies, did he, or was it really “The other Nancy Davis” who had the suspected Red sympathies and associations?

“Hollow out their values”? That’s a mighty powerful trick… to hollow out that which is already hollow.

It’s like Jews excel in many things but when whites can’t catch them up, they blame them for every aspect of their lives.

yes, just like when black and latino POC cant catch up to whitey its due to “systemic racism” and the remedy is affirmative action – and who is leading the charge on this narrative? jews

Who the hell is Masha Gessen?

We have Masha Gessen on this forum, and she has a new plume de nom “alwayswrite.” Write, “Masha,” write. Nothing exposes the “fighters against Amalek” better than their hate-oozing pronouncements against Russia.

You apparently haven’t researched anything about thorium and new reactor designs, but have opinions based on a complete lack of knowledge.

No one in his right mind wants to build pressurized reactors. It’s the pressurization that led to Chernobyl and Fukushima. No one wants to build anything that looks like existing reactors because of their proven failure record in some instances. What the whole world wants are safe reactors and the SMR’s are going to provide them.

What? You mean that the independent nation Ukraine, back in about 1700, did NOT take Crimea from the Turks to stop Turkish raids to capture whites as slaves, and that the Soviet Union just stole it from Ukraine to give to Russia?

That is the notion the Neocons nurture. Surely Neocons do not lie.

I didn’t find it difficult to read, but then again, I’ve had to grade papers written by Numinous Negro college students.

The Jews realize that the Chinese whom they control will be better managers of the territory that is currently with in the borders of the RF so they will set that in motion very soon

The Jews don’t have nearly as much control or influence in China as they do in America. So your prediction is clearly invalid.

Russia is already collapsing and the Jews know they have to keep ahead of it.

Huh? What possible evidence is there that Russia is undergoing a collapse?

In the two-bit vassal appendage, Austfailia, the hate frenzy has been mounting for some years, led by the Government controlled ABC, and the Murdoch cancer. Not that the remainder of the totalitarian, Group-thinking, dissent free zone that is the rest of the laughably self-proclaimed ‘Free Press’ was far behind.

You’re a lying, traitorous piece of filth. What’s your ethnic background?

Like it or not, it is not going to happen. We are 50 years past the point when these choices could have been made. It is pointless discussing the validity of your argument. Like discussing how many angels can dance on a pin head. 🙂

The US can no longer build in a reasonable time and at a reasonable cost a conventional (uranium-fueled) nuclear power station. Do you think that now is the time to try out something untested and unproven?

How about this for the “learning curve”. This “study” does not point out the obvious – that US engineers are not what they used to be. They are less intelligent and worse educated than hitherto. But how can a report by MIT point out something so obvious?

Among the surprising findings in the study, which covered 50 years of U.S. nuclear power plant construction data, was that, contrary to expectations, building subsequent plants based on an existing design actually costs more, not less, than building the initial plant.

Study identifies reasons for soaring nuclear plant cost overruns in the U.S.
