Trump – The Chosen One
The worst thing about Donald Trump = youtu.be/O7EaCVnw5n4
Regardless – It is high time a President looked at The American Economy as a business because the world has changed and it is high time someone here has the balls to make the global readjustments necessary for American Security.
Peter Zeihan of Stratford - youtu.be/BclcpfVn2rg
This isn’t his best presentation – but most current
IF YOU really want a good explication of American politics SKIP to 42:50 and start watching
Talking specifically about party alignments watch at: 49.00
But you should see it all
Peter Zeihan – on the global economy - how we got here – current events – where we are heading
In 1399 – China has the largest navy on the planet. They have ship that dwarf anything coming out of Europe. BUT – they sank and burnt their own navy in a cultural / religious movement. Focused on self – focused inwardly – very Confusionist, Daoist, or Buddhist
1400 – Europe is gripped with Christendom’s religion. Religious persecution drives Europeans out of Europe. Christian evangelisms drives more Europeans into the global scene. Both religious movements.
The Great Commission – Manifest Destiny
The escape the Catholic Inquisition – Jews financed Christopher Columbus in 1492. In 1506 Cortez lands in Veracruz. Jesse is from Mindanao. It is just across the water from China. But in 1548 the Spanish Catholic took over the entire island chain.
This religious rightness – God ordained church movement = results in the Colonial Empires that fed Europe with continued economic growth. As Empires grew and bumped into one another – the easiest warfare was naval war fare. Interrupt their trade = interrupt their economy! Instead of fighting Spain directly, the queen of England told Sir Francis Drake to become a Pirate whenever he found a Spanish ship.
WWII
All of this + religious differences + the populist desire to escape economic serfdom brought down the entire European led system of global economics
Bretton-Woods and the American Global Order
All major economies are destroyed – except the American economy
All major militaries are destroyed – except America’s
All major Navies are destroyed – except America’s
All major currencies are destroyed – except the US Dollar
The Bretton-Woods agreement
America will open its market to all its allies – they can exports their way back to economic health
America – will militarily protect all its allies from invasions – so they can focus on their economies
America will protect shipping in all 7 seas – to guarantee an interrupted free global free market
To make the global economy run smoothly – the stable US Dollar became the currency of exchange
All the allies have to do is side with us against the Russians in the Cold War
NATO was formed to protect Europe from Russian aggression
For 70 years Bretton-Woods and the Cold War maintained peace on the globe – seriously
1986 – the USSR fell – the Communism Ideology failed - the Cold War was over
1991 – George H. W. Bush had a chance to save the planet. His Coalition of 27 nations against Sadam Hussain was a miraculous diplomacy. He had the opportunity to do a Bretton-Woods 2 with a new Cold War against rogue nations – which are all Islamic.
The New World Order
What a choice of words. Straight out of George Orwell’s 1984. And all the world went over-board with conspiracy theories and a new hatred for governments (that we now call the swamp)
Disenfranchisements with governments increased
911 – is it Fake? Os is our war against the imaginary enemy – terrorists justified?
Either way Bush Jr goes to war in Iraq for something someone in Afghanistan did?
AND – threw were no weapons of mass destruction found
Governments lie – Governments manipulate - fear of the DEEP STATE – ILLUMINATI
Bush Jrs coalition fell apart and the world has been in play ever since
Reagan’s agreement
Reagan’s agreement with Russia then – if the wall comes down – all the border states can make up their own mind – be independent – America would not encourage them either way – America would also not advanced any aggressive weapon toward Russia.
Today – all the Border States are West leaning – some have become NATO members and America has put “Defensive Missiles” in Poland, Hungry, and Ukraine.
Should Russia feel safe?
The whole purpose of NATO is to protect Europe from Russian aggression. Yet, today Russia supplies Europe’s energy. Russia can shut them off anytime they want – why does Europe want to continue seeing Russia as the enemy?
Trump offered Germany American Gas – they said NO. It is cheaper from Russia – of course it is! Imagine if Europe told us we should by pinto bean from them and not MEXICO The biggest arms supplier to the Middle-East is France. We asked Spain to stop that Iranian tanker – they said no! Why should we continue to defend them?
Japan and Korea hate each other. Centuries of war between them. Japan was viscous in WWII – human abuse large scale. (both North and South)
Korean War the UN (us) saved the Republic of Korea as long as they held free and open elections. The same deal we made with Taiwan. Since the America has paid to protect South Korea. Now South Korea has stopped intelligence sharing with Japan – and therefore America. Why should we continue to defend them?
South China Sea
All peter Zeihan talked about was trade and shipping – global economics. China wants the South China Sea as its own for trade and the protection of its oil shipments – Of course it is! Just like Russia wants more influence / more sense of security in its own back yard – so does China.
I think there is an even bigger reason! Fukushima contamination of the Pacific. The flow of currents through the South China Sea brings clean waters from the Indian Ocean and exits between the Philippines and Taiwan. This is Asias fishing waters and China has more to feed than anyone.
As America withdraws from the Global Economy
Many things are going to change - - with new shale oil independence – American no longer needs the global stability to protect its own economy.
The legacy of Viet Nam – Desert Shield / Storm – Afghanistan = Americans are tired of fighting foreign wars
