- Friends,
-
- I am a complete ignoramus at economics, but a thought
has occurred to me:
-
- Right now, what is still holding the USA above water,
is the crooked corporate press, which is not giving anything like the true
picture of the fact that the USA is bound to lose most ignominiously in
Iraq, and is, in fact, taking a very heavy and unreported pounding now.
As this finally becomes known, simply by being too obvious to hide anymore,
it is bound to undermine international investor confidence, as people move
their money into safer investments, elsewhere.
-
- And in these days of a falling US Dollar, any net oil
importer such as the EU, China or Japan cannot in its best interests wish
to support the dollar against its own currency, because the lower the
dollar
falls, the relative cheaper will be its own oil imports, all else such
as its own export market versus the dollar left out of the equation, and
its only hope of competition against a falling dollar being cheaper oil
for itself, so it will let the dollar slide in some balance of forces one
against the other.
-
- On the other hand, net oil exporters who still have to
sell off their oil in dollars will be making less profit, unless the oil
price in dollars is increased, or they themselves support the dollar, which
latter would be tantamount to shooting themselves in the foot.
-
- Or else they can demand payment in a more-stable
currency,
such as the Euro?
-
- But if the oil-price becomes pegged in Euros, then
exchange
profits for the USA will fall away, and the dollar will slide still
farther,
and faster, too, further undermining investor confidence, and industries
and jobs will be lost to the US, exacerbating an already-critical
employment
situation, as work is outsourced overseas in spite of a falling dollar
making US exports cheaper on the world stage, because the rot in US
productivity
and the job market is already rampant as jobs are outsourced, and big US
companies stash their own profits offshore.
-
- And as the dollar falls, the US, as a net importer of
oil, will have to pay relatively more dollars per barrel, against some
other, stabler currency, making the impact of the dollar's fall noticeable
at the pumps, in the USA itself.
-
- Higher gas prices, when the entire hidden-agenda
rationale
for the "War Against Terrorism" was to steal someone else's oil
without paying for it, will have a tremendous social impact in US daily
life, which is largely, without extensive public-transport systems such
as in Europe, and dependent upon high individual mobility which requires
low gas prices.
-
- Add to this inability to still relatively inexpensively
commute to work areas and job opportunities becoming leaner by the passing
day, the reduction of social structures for the purpose of privatising
them away and with them, the safety nets of US society and the savings
of the individual, together with fewer jobs, and social unrest on a quite
unprecedented scale is bound to follow.
-
- As the ruling Pirate Crew, its fingers in the oil-pie
worldwide, will never back down either on raising its internal gasoline
and oil prices (are they philanthropists,those for whom the killing of
entire peoples is OK, just so long as they get their "free" oil,
to sell at higher profits?), nor on their intent to exercise absolute
control
over their own people, so following on unrest will come repression, and
following on repression, further loss of investor confidence, and following
on that, greater loss of jobs, and so a continually falling dollar, and
so higher gas prices at the pumps ... ad infinitum.
-
- If I were a military analyst with some charge of saving
my country from such a pirate crew, whereas one might believe or disbelieve
the myth of some valid constitutional provision making the arrest of the
President a possibility in case of his grievous wrongdoing leading to what
is de-facto treason against his own people, I doubt, given the large number
of people in administration apparently all on the take, and the fact that
the average US citizen does not yet recognise the urgency of the situation
in relation to their own country's well-being, and the closing
window-of-opportunity
to address this problem in any democratic way or otherwise -- I mean,
pow(d)er to the people --that any such attempt would ever work out.
-
- What I should do, as a military man, would be to organise
a relatively small (200-300 or so) force of storm-troopers, enter the White
House when all are known to be present (getting past the guard is something
any military man will know is no problem at all), and simply take a rope
for each pirate, tie a noose at one end around the necks of each traitor
and the other end around the White House balcony balustrade, and toss the
buggers over, to dangle there.
-
- This is not the way it always has been done, except in
some "banana"-republic, but, by God, it will set an example,
to boot John and Jane Doe out of their stupor and into the present - and
perhaps to even save their country -- in a rapidly-closing
window-of-opportunity,
which is down to such a knife-edge crack still left open, that only such
an action, by a dedicated military man, might still save it.
