Permies



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.
