The news is reporting that global warming has been exaggerated to bring on a new world order. There may be some truth to this. However, who cares if there is global warming or not. It is always good to be self sufficient. It is very important not to be too detached from the food supply.
There is no reason in this day and age to import goods from other countries. Nearly everything can be grown locally. I’ve even seen people growing field crops in small strips in a home garden. We need to import culture not goods that can be produced here. This creates a balance between local and global communities.
In Trilateralism by holly sklar she describes a world of three trade areas with a small group of brokers making lots of money off the transfer of goods between these areas. Ironically, Orwell came to the same conclusion in 1984.
Ned Beaty in the movie Network describes this policy in a nutshell to Howard Beal.
A paper done for the Council on Foreign Relations in the 60’s called Report from Iron Mountain actually suggests this. Neo Liberals like K Galbraith and S.P. Huntington told them we need to lower our expectations and education in the U.S. so we can more easily bring the developing world into the modern age. Instead of making the world self sufficient they will sell our wealth to the third world.
Obama is doing great but his advisor Zbignew Brazinski is the author of this policy.
People like Limbaugh are using this guy to make themselves appear as populists but they are neo liberal fascists just the same.
One more thing. Environmentalists need to provide alternatives and pay businesses to convert to new technology.This is an example of when government should intervene to maintain commerce in a capitalist system because it is too expensive for companies to convert. Anytime you force someone to do something you open the door to organized crime. Prohibition is the obvious example, Waste Management Inc. was caught opening the valves on their toxic waste trucks because the tires would melt on cars following them down the road. I know an air conditioning guy that off gasses Freon into the air just because he does’nt want to be ruled by activists. If Tude and a Half was paid to collect the Freon he probably would.
