God and Democracy

God and Democracy

Philosophy is the anti-thesis of ideology. The true philosopher has no pride, no sense of self. The philosopher is king and always will be, as the conceptual limits of our world are often set by men who have been dead for hundreds or thousands of years. The mighty emperor is governed by his ability to perceive the world around him, and his perception is informed by the will and words of the philosopher.

In Egypt, the birthplace of civilization, we witness an illustration of contrast that hopefully will give birth to new understanding. We must first suspend judgement if we are to understand.

There are two opposing forces vying for control of Egypt. Backers of the establishment of an Islamic state believe that man should be governed by Gods will as interpreted by the Koran. Backers of the establishment of a constitutional democracy believe that it is gods will that man should be governed by reason.

This distinction is crucial to understanding what democracy is. Democracy is not about the imposition of Karl Marx, Milton Friedman, or any other version of God. Democracy is rule by reason, rule by philosophy. Democracy is not a dictatorship of the proletariat. Democracy is not a dictatorship of the market. Democracy is not a dictatorship of the Koran. Democracy is not about self it is about truth.

The two faces of ego are ideology and greed. These are manifested when men seek control of the state to impose what they believe without the support of reason, and when men seek control of the state to accumulate wealth and power as an end in and of itself. A cynic would say that the two faces of ego are the only paths history will take, but there is a third way out and its democracy.

Democracy is when people come together and solve issues based on reason. The central word here is reason. Decision making is not allocated based on social status, money, or party monopoly. The objective of democracy is not to “win” what you want or to crush your “opponent”. In a pure democracy you have no opposition and there are no winners or losers. In a pure democracy all you have is people working together. That doesn't mean they will always agree on everything it just means that they will approach governance from the perspective that it is not about them.

The fundamental misunderstanding of the Chinese Communists is the perception that reason is just a tool of power. In their mind everything is war, a political struggle for ideological dominance. They will spend considerable resources constructing ideological arguments in order to manufacture perceptions that advance their interests. Truth can not be manufactured, only perceptions. True reason will stand alone apart from interest.

How ought we as human souls reconcile the truth of our connection? Democracy is the answer to this question. It conceptually nurtures compassion and starves ego. Our duty is to recognize the others as we would ourselves and pursue the public interest based on informed and well reasoned dialogue. The failure of modern liberal states in a global context is not a failure of democracy, it is an example of what happens when people forget what democracy is.

If we are to look to God for answers we should look to him as the original financial advisor. When Jesus Christ said love one another, he implicitly said that if we do not follow that commandment than we will all end up poor, dead or both. Without people there is no wealth, it is a concept within us. If people do not follow the financial advise of God there will be poverty and social problems. Loyalty to your wife and family, respect for others, forgiveness and compassion are the recipe for a better society. God should be a cultural compass that leads to comprehensive wealth, not a system of governance.

As a rejection of ego, democracy is the only option we have that respects people and principal above ideology and greed.

Democracy is the next evolutionary step in human awareness, but there is no guarantee that human society will progress. Democracy is a seedling threatened from all sides by the weeds of selfishness. Totalitarianism lives, and so long as it does it plots to stamp out any alternative to it's authority.

We must defend democracy from the well organized infiltration of communist totalitarian forces enabled by a corrupt and incompetent capitalist class. Our freedom will only be preserved by the actions of brave souls who take it upon themselves to carry the legacy of our forefathers. The people will be preserved and strengthened within the house of the lord. Amen.

Social Media in China Is ‘War,’ Says Communist Official

Social Media in China Is ‘War,’ Says Communist Official

" Li gives a sobering response: “Psychological warfare, legal warfare, and public opinion warfare are all important tools for modern warfighting. Doing battle on microblogs is also within the ‘three warfares’ category.” "

" The Chinese Communist Party is known to carry out an intensive and intricate policy of Internet surveillance and censorship; as well as deleting posts, the regime also hires an untold number of online commentators, called the “50 cent party,” (for the amount they’re putatively paid per post) whose job it is to steer public opinion. "

Communist Party members seem to be suffering a mental illness. Why do communist party members insist on trying to impose totalitarianism on the globe? So much effort to load every comment board with communist propaganda all because they are so determined to try and control public opinion, all so they can impose a system of dictatorship that will only lead to more human suffering.

Message to communist party thugs, nothing good will come of being an extremist, nothing good will come of trying to eliminate your "opposition". If you were enlightened you would understand that the members of the community that disagree with you are not your enemy. Constitutionally protected human rights and democratic governance are social innovations that create tremendous value for society. When you abandon totalitarianism you allow intellectuals to contribute to the betterment of us all.

If people like Hitler, Stalin and Mao had not embraced such madness, think of how much better we would all be better off today. What is the point of all this? What do these madmen hope to accomplish? Where do we want to be as a world? I'm willing to bet most of us, down at the peasant level, want to love one another. How can that be accomplished if the communist party policy is to put so many resources into stamping out dissent? Why resist constitutionally protected human rights for all citizens? If you want to serve the people then you must end the violence against the people, and this can only be accomplished if they have human rights protected by the constitution? This is not a "Western idea", its just an idea. An idea can not be assigned an identity. To deny an idea based upon the "identity" of the creator is the definition of insanity.

If you want to serve the people, you must become a better human being.
End political repression now. Tear down this wall.
The cost of lost human potential is the price of political repression.

In China, When Police Brutality Is So Common An Off-Duty Officer Gets A Taste

Edward Snowden-the Spy Who Loved Me


Snowden’s Disclosures Tar US With Beijing’s Brush
Accusations suggest false moral equivalence

I don't like this brave new world any more than you do, but the reality is if America would disarm its Signals Intelligence it would not make a dam difference for your privacy since China would still be running its own versions of "PRISM". This capability is a lot like nuclear weapons, if one party unilaterally disarms it only creates incentive for conflict to occur.
If Edward Snowden really wanted to protect us from an architecture of oppression why would he defect to Communist China? This looks like a carefully orchestrated phy-op.
Why defect to a completely controlled police state so you can lecture the world on police states?
Of course the privacy issues raised by Snowden are fair comment in a democratic society, but this entire scenario looks completely staged.
Signals intelligence, with proper checks and balances, is a tool that could be used for good or evil.
These are strange times, the world needs good people, so do all you can to make it good.
While America badly needs reform, Americans still have a lot of freedom that people in China don't have. It just doesn't seem to promote the cause of freedom for Snowden to become a propaganda instrument of the Chinese regime. The Snowden case looks like a highly successful and well thought out/carefully planned "public opinion warfare" operation.

Gradual politicization of Canadian security apparatus threat to independent state

Senior Mounties told not to meet MPs without prior approval

"Specifically, they are to notify a liaison office that co-ordinates RCMP strategy with the office of Public Safety Minister Vic Toews."

"It's not appropriate for the government to reach into the police operation. It's a very, very fundamental part of what we must be assured exists so that the police aren't doing the work of the government, they're doing the work of the public."

" Garrison, who is the NDP critic for public safety, said "these memos raise some very serious concerns about whether the government is interfering in the operations of the RCMP to try and assist in controlling their political message. So I think it's very serious." "

" Liberal Senator Grant Mitchell, critic for an RCMP reform bill, C-42, said he feared the "politicization of the police force." "
Spy watchdog shouldn't work for Manning Centre, NDP says

"Non-partisan federal appointment conflicts with role as director for conservative think tank"

"Duncan then asked whether the Canada Revenue Agency would investigate the political activities of the Manning Centre, which is a federally registered non-profit organization, although it does not issue any tax receipts and is not a registered charity."

Government Response:

"That would be unlawful, and it would be inappropriate, and it's bizarre that the NDP would suggest it," said Kenney, who repesents a Calgary riding.

The government makes a response that it would be unlawful to investigate the political nature of a non-profit organization that is organized to funnel industry money into training loyal conservative party goons, just after it spend $8 million taxpayer dollars investigating environmental charities for their alleged political activities.

" In its own words, the Manning Centre for Building Democracy, which runs a "state of the art training centre" in downtown Calgary, is "dedicated to building Canada’s conservative movement – by strengthening the knowledge, skills, ethical foundations, and networks of political practitioners." "

What about the Government using the CRA against David Suzuki:

Suzuki forges onward despite Tory cuts, CRA audits

"David Suzuki says he finally feels free to speak his mind since stepping down six months ago as a director of his namesake environmental charity, which he founded more than 20 years ago."

" “It’s very demoralizing, because so much of that resource then is dedicated to that process, and the last time we were audited I think it cost over $100,000 of our money to do that, so it’s a very expensive, punitive thing that can be done,” he said. "

"The foundation has been audited three times before. A recent internal review of the its finances found less than one per cent of its resources are dedicated to political activity — well within the 10 per cent legal limit."
One year and $5 million later, Harper’s charity crackdown nets just one bad egg

"An $8-million pot of money included in last year’s federal budget to crack down on charities suspected of engaging in “excessive” political activities has so far resulted in only one having its charitable status revoked, out of nearly 900 that were audited."

"Environmental charities were widely reported to be the primary target of ramped up compliance measures after Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver said environmental and other “radical groups” were trying to undermine the national economy by blocking pipeline and other fossil fuel projects."
CRA audits charitable status of Tides Canada amid Tory attack

"The charity – which had revenues of $14.5-million in 2010 – has two main funding arms. Tides Foundation finances other charities ranging from Big Brothers and Big Sisters organizations to Environmental Defence Canada, and Tides Initiatives does its educational, social and environmental work."

"Environment Minister Peter Kent raised the stakes last week when he accused an unnamed group of essentially engaging in “money laundering,” echoing attacks against Tides launched by Conservative senators and the pro-oil-industry, Conservative-connected group, EthicalOil.org."
"In the March budget, the Harper government ordered the CRA to step up its efforts on education and compliance with charities that engage in political activity.The government said then that it was responding to concerns that some charities may not be respecting the rules, and that it also intended to increase the reporting rules for charities that take money from foreign donors."

David Suzuki charity questioned for alleged partisan politics

"The David Suzuki Foundation on Tuesday became the target of a complaint to the Canada Revenue Agency, just days after its namesake co-founder stepped down amid heightened tensions between environmental charities and the Conservative government."

"A week before, David Suzuki stepped down from the foundation he helped create so he can “speak freely without fear” his words will be deemed too political, according to an open letter posted to the group’s website last week."

"Mr. Ellerton said that organizations should forgo charitable status — and all the economic benefits it brings — if they want the freedom to be political."

The Economy is a National Security Issue --------------- Industrial Apartied Part 3

A message to all small “c” conservatives, the so-called “free market” neo-liberal ideology that the Conservative establishment is pushing will wipe us out. This ideology if carried to its logical conclusion would allow the Chinese communists to buy out all of our industries.

If the Nexen oil deal angered you, how angry would you be if the communists owned all of our media companies, all of our telecommunications networks, all of our agricultural production capabilities, our banks, our health care delivery mechanisms, our architectural and engineering firms, our public infrastructure and related repair and construction, how about if we started to contract out our military, intelligence or police requirements to foreign state owned corporations. Yes a bit of hyperbole, but consider the implications of a pure “free” market economy with no rules or state intervention.

When the government green lighted all those Chinese miners to come into the country and the controversy erupted, the communists instructed one of miners to speak to our media in defense of the plan. He cited neo-liberal economics in defense of the scheme suggesting in a free market it shouldn’t matter if the workers are Canadian or Chinese the jobs should go to the best workers at the best price. It has even been suggested that Canada does not own the oil, apparently some feel it belongs to corporations.

The communists know full well our politics; they have spent massive amounts of resources to learn how they work. They know how to frame the issues so that they resonate with certain constituencies. The communists would never allow other countries to gain control of strategic industries deemed critical for security reasons, but they have developed a communications strategy to play to the outdated “free enterprise” constituency of Western voters in an attempt to justify imperial expansion.

In George Orwell’s Animal farm (Spoiler alert), a revolution occurs on a farm and a group of pigs takes charge claiming that from then on things would be different. By the end of the book the pigs put on suits and make a deal with the farmers. The book was written as a critique of the Russian revolution. Strangely there is a parallel to the situation Western nations are facing now. These days there are plenty of pigs in suits willing to shake hands with the evil communist emperors they once claimed to protect us from.

State intervention in the economy has been the basis of society since society has existed. Military defense, public infrastructure/ irrigation projects, police, education, health care, scientific research, many good things have been brought to us through government involvement in the economy.

The economy is not monetary figures, not numbers in an equation or on a balance sheet, the economy is what is happening all around us, it is what we occupy our time with. It is the activities that we all engage in and the result of those activities. Long ago on the Nile delta there was no stock exchange and no central bank but there was an economy. There were people growing food, people building infrastructure, people crafting tools and pots, musicians, and yes tax collectors and soldiers and public administrators.

There is confusion in our society, the confused faith that the economy is all about how many 0’s and 1’s of binary code are in configuration on the hard drive at the bank. This confusion is not held by all societies, some societies still remember that an economy is about the physical results achieved in the real world.

While the sale of Nexen, or the AMC movie theater chain takeover, or the construction of telecommunications networks by Huawei may look good on paper, in the real world these actions are acts of self inflicted damage to our economies. We provide resources to our competitors so they can gain experience and knowledge performing the tasks that once would have been reserved to locals. We train our competitors as they gain control over the physical elements of our society, against the warnings of the state security apparatus whose expertise it is to advise us on such matters.

This is why the economy is a matter of national security. National capability is the collective skill set and physical capitol pool available under state authority. We are in effect not separate legal entities because once the state no longer has the capability to defend our claims to “property”, said property will not be ours for long. The ties that bind our communities and institutions enable our existence and prosperity; these ties are bound by the state. If our National capability is degraded to the point where our state no longer posses the viable option of defense, our lands, our women and the blood of our sons will be shed as our sovereignty is traded for the shackles of slavery.

It is against this danger that state intervention in the economy is justified. Action must be taken to ensure that nations maintain the capabilities necessary for their defense in a world of full spectrum warfare. The struggle for this century to this point has been one of intense economic war waged by parties with varying levels of awareness of the dynamics of the conflict.

During the Second World War it was accepted among the Western elite that the state had a responsibility to strategically direct the economy because it was a necessity to winning the conflict. It seems that the young who where indoctrinated during the cold war to reject all things centrally planned as the ways of the enemy took that message to heart and brought it with them all their life to where they are now occupying positions of power.

There are three kinds of people who support neo-liberal “free” market economics, 1) those who stand to personally profit from minimizing state involvement in their business dealings, 2) those who actually believe it, 3) a confused mix of both.

There is no justification for risking a nations security to enhance ones personal wealth, such actions are actions of treason, political subversion through economic means. The communists know full well that the West is full of pigs in suits ready to shake hands with the devil. We have a business class without historical memory, without any frame of reference other than the neo-liberal economic theory indoctrinated into them as pre-requisite to their entry into the upper class.

This is how we have lost our economy, outsourced our future and threatened our national security. A failed process of socialization, in that the young are not given what is needed to maintain a civilization. Greed is no foundation.

Mindless consumers will not save us, so we had better stop producing them. Reform will take a willingness to accept citizen self-government, a feat not possible if citizens are not taught citizenship. Without a classical education ideology will rule, for there will be no way to adapt processes in response a rapidly changing environment. Those who do not adapt will fall to those that can; it is precisely the free market ideology that justifies the land beneath our feet being sold off to the most violent and oppressive foreign power in the world.

We must expand the mandate of our state security apparatuses to include economic affairs. The business class must take its place as servants of a comprehensive state strategy. Power must be wrestled from the grasp of industry and anointed to those who take national security as the highest priority.

This is the recipe for civilizational revival.

Harper government, Chinese firms lose in court

With everything thats going on, we need to take a moment and focus on the positive. Imagine a world where everyone had human rights, where everyone was protected from corrupt officials and the psychopathic violence of the global elite. Where we all had improved more representative local democracy. Where corporations served the state instead of the state serving corporate interests. Imagine a world where we were free to live and love one another without struggle against the forces of globalist imperialism. That world is what we stand for. A world where people are good to each other. That is why we must stop the global expansion of communist China. It is a force of gangsterism and rule by the power of the gun. It's tentacles conspire to undermine our democracy, and it is the free people of the earth that must mount the final defence of humanity. Never before have the forces of good faced such a powerful evil. Throughout the 20th century Democracy confronted the Nazi threat and the Soviet threat, and we prevailed. Our forefathers liberated the beaches of Normandy, don't let their sacrifice be made in vain. Now we face the 21st century totalitarian's, we will prevail. If we want to preserve the tradition of political peace, than we must resolve to defend democracy with total commitment. We will never accept the aggression of the Chinese Communist Empire.

Our struggle is for the establishment of world political compassion. And it will be established through self determination, protection of human rights, and overwhelming defensive capabilities. With commitment, the forces of Freedom will never be overrun. With every act of aggression committed against our nation, the people further awaken. The act of sacrifice is to make sacred. Let every hour be one of commitment to Canada, our village, our family.

Harper government, Chinese mining firms lose in court

 
" The Ministry of Human Resources and Skills Development has until Jan. 21 to produce the documents, otherwise the union could proceed with a contempt of court order against Minister Diane Finley. "

Did you hear the government's argument? We have no power over Chinese companies operating on Canadian soil.
Did you hear the Chinese Company's argument? We are not legally compelled to abide by Canadian court orders.
Glad to hear the Judge wasn't bribed this time.

Harper Gov't Asks Court to Rule It Powerless on Key Chinese Miner Issue

" In December, a Federal Court judge ordered the Ministry of Human Resources and Skills Development to hand over all documents related to the permits to the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 114 and the Construction and Specialized Workers Union Local 1611.

But some of the documents -- such a resumes of Canadian workers who applied to work at the project -- are still held by HD Mining and the company refuses to give them to the government.

Now the HRSDC Ministry is in court arguing it has no control over the documents, despite sending three letters to the company demanding they be released last month.

"I have been instructed to let you know that HD Mining does not intend to provide to the Minister any of the HD Mining documents that Justice Campbell is asking the Minister to produce, unless and to the extent you are able to provide some legal basis to compel those documents from the company,"

"This is a matter that goes well beyond this present case and is of concern to the company for its long‐term plans." "

What long term plans is the company speaking of? Why would complying with Canadian government regulation and laws be of concern to the companies long term plans?

How about we make our own long term plans, starting with reclaiming our country from communist aggression. True North Strong and Free.

Northern Gateway hearings in Vancouver greeted by thousands of protesters

" The nationwide Idle No More movement merged with ongoing protests against oil pipeline projects proposed for British Columbia, to bring more than a thousand protesters out to greet the federal review panel conducting hearings in Vancouver. "

Cry for new environment laws unites Idle No More and chiefs, but not Ottawa

" At issue are two huge and complicated pieces of legislation stemming from last year's budget, of which more efficient natural resource extraction was the centrepiece.
Bill C-38, which passed in June, completely overhauls Canada's environmental assessment law, redefines protections for fish and gives the federal cabinet new decision-making powers on resource development.

C-45, the second omnibus budget bill, received royal assent in December. It overhauls protections of waterways by dramatically changing the Navigable Waters Act, as well as changing the Fisheries Act and the Hazardous Materials Information Review Act.

"Is this the appropriate thing to do for the economy at the expense of future generations?"

"We want to have a source of clean drinking water." "

Idle No More Explained

Idle No More is a grass roots movement sparked by Steven Harpers Bill C-45 Omnibus bill that removes protection for Canadian Waterways and makes it easier for Chinese Government directed companies to take over Canadian Resources.

Bill C 45- Fed Govt: More Control Over Reserves: Violations of Rights

"C-45 would bring significant changes to the Indian Act, including changes to land management on reserves which will make it easier for the federal government to control reserve land and reducing the protection of millions of lakes and rivers. In all it’s another bill to control land and control water perpatuating Agenda 21. "

Idle No More has two clear objectives:

Respect of Indigenous sovereignty / Self government for native "Indian" tribal lands
Protection of the land and water / prevention of irresponsible resource extraction

If the objectives of the movement are met another layer of protection would be added to defend Canada from Chinese Communist Corporate takeovers, as consultation with Native's would be required before projects would go through. Seeing as how many native communities are against these resource projects, proposals such as the much hated Enbridge Pipeline would grind to a halt. That is why Patriotic Canadians across the country have embraced the Idle No More movement. Patriots will never tolerate resource giveaways to the hostile regime in Beijing.

This photo has been seen in some mainstream reports, none say anything about the China resource giveaways or opposition to them. I have seen this image in two national news reports and not one word about the Chinese flag. With all the reporters surrounding this guy no one asked or reported.

Series of Suspicious incidents, media largely silent

Health ministry employee made complaint that led to firings

"In March 2012, the Auditor General was anonymously notified about a range of alleged activities within the Pharmaceutical Services Division of the Ministry of Health," the report said. "The information raised questions about compliance with legal and government policy requirements, as well as with good contracting practices."

Auditor General John Doyle's office started an investigation to "validate basic facts and determine whether further work was warranted" and has remained involved as the ministry did its own investigation, it said. "When the whistleblower(s) subsequently came forward (voluntarily), the Auditor General required the party to provide information, in keeping with section 16 of the Auditor General Act." ”

Fired Health Ministry Worker Found Dead

“Roderick MacIsaac, 46 years old, was a PhD student in the University of Victoria's school of public administration. He was on a work term at the health ministry when he and others were fired as part of an investigation Minister Margaret MacDiarmid has said involved inappropriate data sharing, contracts and undeclared potential conflicts of interest.

"They observed some elements that appeared to be of a suspicious nature," he said. The officers called in detectives who investigated but found "there was no apparent foul play" and the file was returned to the coroner's service, he said.

He said he could not provide details about why the death was suspicious.

MacIsaac's research involved assessing the government's smoking cessation program. In Sept. 2011, fulfilling a leadership campaign promise Christy Clark made, the government began paying for prescription drugs and nicotine replacement therapies aimed at helping people stop smoking.

The drugs include Champix, a Pfizer product that in 2008 and 2009 was the subject of safety warnings from the United States Food and Drug Administration and Health Canada. ”

Champix ? A drug with a history of making patients lose control, go on violent rampages. It's victims include a recent Canadian forces member who committed suicide after taking the drug. 

Health Canada tight-lipped on Champix suicides

“ Since then, Champix has been linked to nearly 450 serious cases of these same side effects, more than 80 of which ended in hospitalization or disability. 24 suicides.
The Star doesn’t know what happened after patients stopped taking Champix in the roughly 450 reported cases of suicidal ideation, depression and aggression since the beginning of 2008 because Health Canada is keeping the information secret, refusing to disclose it. ”

China’s Military Living in “Parallel Universe” – Ford

“My dealings with PLA officials at the Xiangshan Forum, however, suggest a possible (and more interesting) alternative explanation. Beijing’s various idiosyncrasies in these regards may be, in meaningful part, the relatively coherent and consistent outgrowths of a conceptual framework – an Information Age twist, if you will, on much older themes of Sinocentric moralism – in which the emerging Chinese superpower hungers to control other peoples’ narrative of China.”
“To be sure, perhaps I am reading too much into a few days’ discussions. On the other hand, perhaps these encounters at the 4th Xiangshan Forum really do offer insight into an idiosyncratic Chinese approach to global order, highlighting a sort of politico-moral imperialism that has few obvious precedents outside the historical Sinosphere. Chinese leaders appear to be strongly invested in other countries’ narratives of China – seeing this as critical terrain for international competition (i.e., advantage or vulnerability) – and they seem to claim the right to control everyone else’s interpretations. If this is so, there may be important policy implications for the United States, and for China’s increasingly nervous neighbors, both about what to expect from Beijing in the years ahead, and about additional ways in which we might perhaps be able to develop effective competitive strategies vis-à-vis the PRC.”

The Net Benefit of Liberty

The economics of foreign policy is the ultimate example of the conflict between static and dynamic efficiency. The choice between maximizing short term gain or creating a world where everyone is better off in the long term.

           Foreign Policy is the engagement of the state with the world beyond it's boarders. It's objective is to maximize public good through the cultivation of a habitable international environment. Security is the basis of a habitable environment.

       There is a net benefit resulting from international security. A peace that is based on the principles of human rights and democracy. Political repression is a cost on human society. It deprives us of innovative and capable people. It creates a climate of fear and a culture of apathy. We as a species must end political violence. Intellectuals must be free to devote their energies, time and talents to solving the problems our species faces. The elimination of repression increases public wealth.

       Our democracy, our rights and freedoms must be preserved. They are the foundation of our security. Without these things, our lives can be taken from us at any time for any reason. Our individual security depends on our collective security. Our collective security depends on our collective liberty. Therefore, the strength of democracy is the foundation of our security. Public welfare is maximized in the long term through the reduction of repression and violence, by means of the guarantees to liberty, provided by democratic values.

Strategic Capitalism: The New Economic Strategy for Winning the Capitalist Cold War

Strategic Capitalism: The New Economic Strategy for Winning the Capitalist Cold War

• The world’s best competitors—with China in the lead—have adopted elements of managed capitalism, in which government and businesses work together toward a single aim.
• China’s objective is clear—to displace the United States as the world’s economic leader by becoming the global rule maker.
• If the West does not act soon, it stands to lose everything it holds most dear: financial prosperity, economic freedom, geopolitical power, national security, and even democratic values.

This is disruptive innovation on a global scale. But instead of companies using breakthrough products and brands to gain market share, nations are devising “game-changing” economic systems to seize influence over—and beyond—the global economy.
Bleak as the situation may be, D’Aveni contends that the West can reverse the trends currently tilting the global balance of power.
In order to meet the challenges of the future, America must revisit long-held assumptions about economics and economies, seriously consider radical alternative policies, and embrace the concept of Strategic Capitalism.

 Most Helpful Customer Review
Author d'Aveni describes how the new 'economic cold war' began, how the best competitors utilize managed capitalism (government and business working together), and what America will lose if it doesn't act soon. The Forward is by Daniel DiMico, Nucor CEO, and also is noteworthy. Mr. DiMico asserts that we are losing the trade war with China - it has already cost us millions of jobs, thereby devastating our middle class and government at all levels. He contends we need to enforce existing trade laws and agreements to right things. Second, he contends we need a national industrial strategy to replace the wishful thinking that a service-based economy can replace manufacturing as a wealth-creating engine. (Manufacturing used to be 30% of GDP, now it's at 9.9% - recommends 20%.)

Traditional American capitalism has become outdated. We have tied our hands and closed our minds - sticking to politically correct discussions. It makes no sense for a nation to maximize stockholder wealth transferring jobs and capital to foreign markets, leaving one's own people without jobs and unable to pay their mortgages. This is the equivalent of milking a mature nation (the U.S.), risking its ultimate survival. We need to stop accepting our weak economy as the 'new normal,' stop being distracted by wars, terrorism, gay marriage, etc, stop relying on theories encapsulating what used to work, stop focusing on the short term, stop believing that Free Trade with China, Mexico, etc. is not a mostly win-lose proposition, and stop predicting (hoping) that China's economic miracle will not last.

The 'really bad news' is that we're handcuffed by debts and deficits, our government decisions in these areas are made by professional politicians lacking expertise, cobbled together behind closed doors with strong (bud well hidden) biases purchased by political donors, numerous compromises that breed inconsistencies, conflicts, and holes. Suggests consolidating eg. The Commerce Dept., SBA, and several other agencies as a first step (proposed by Obama), and removing Congress from the equation.

Japan was the first to burst America's Free Trade honeymoon post WWII, treating customers, suppliers, and employees well, and refining its manufacturing skills to produce both better quality and lower costs. Japan, however, was dependent on the U.S. for its military defense, and probably too amenable to U.S. prodding - eg. follow accepted international monetary policy, leading to internal inflation. China, however, owes the U.S. nothing, has a much larger population (greater leverage over companies and investors, a seemingly infinite supply of low-cost labor, and strongly held values in which individuals are expected to sacrifice for the common good). It also has mastered the ability to use its firms as instruments of state and foreign policy, takes the long-term view, and does not manage to maximize profits. The CCP appoints at least the top three positions in each of its 50 largest SOES, and other state asset supervision entities control appointments at many others. (SOEs make up about half the economy.)

Our laissez-faire approach lacks national goals, forces firms to march to Wall Street's tune, allows businesses to be managed for the almost exclusive benefit of stockholders, and permits large numbers of jobs to be sent overseas - impoverishing the general public. Our approach also created three major recent problems - the Internet bubble, the real estate bubble, and then the credit crisis.

China's Three Gorges Dam provides 8X the power of Hoover Dam. It is targeting for non-fossil fuels to generate 15% of energy by 2020, and building one nuclear power plan/month.

China's Five Year Plan mandates that Chinese components replace foreign parts in all core infrastructure.' Chinese piracy costs an estimated $48 billion in U.S. 2009 sales (2.1 million jobs).

In 2000, most countries traded much more heavily with the U.S. than China. By 2010, India, Russia, Spain, Germany, Indonesia, Italy, and Japan had moved into China's trade dominance, leaving the U.S. with Turkey, Canada, Mexico, and the U.K. China is the world's largest exporter (> $1.2 trillion, then Germany at $1.2 trillion, and the U.S. at slightly less than $1 trillion).

U.S. annual government investment in infrastructure (2.4%), China (9%), Europe (5%). the national U.S. savings rate was 4.6% on 1/1/12, vs. 14.6% in 1975. Germany's is 16%, China's 38-53% (depending on which recent year).

The Heritage Foundation produces an 'Economic Freedom Index' comparing various nations. In the early 2000s, those with the least freedom grew the fastest, and by 2009 the relationship was negative. (Wealth/capital vs. the Freedom Index displays the expected pattern - for now.)

We need goals, depoliticizing the economic, long-term perspective, some free-market incentives, nationalism, benchmarking, experimentation, the ability to address problems quickly, and continuous improvement. The author also recommends we push China to comply with the agreements it has made, and establish a list of strategically important industries for ourselves - eg. telecommunications and heavy equipment, steel, IT, robotics, machine tools, etc., and return their production to the U.S.

Stop the Sellout to China - What has Harper Done

What Has Harper Done?

 http://www.greenparty.ca/stop-the-sellout

On September 9^th, Prime Minister Stephen Harper signed an agreement with China, the Canada-China Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement. The agreement was kept from the Canadian public and Parliament until September 26th, 2012, when it was quietly made public by the Harper Conservatives.

Red Carpet for China

So what is the Canada-China investment agreement? Simply put, it is the most significant trade agreement signed by Canada since NAFTA. Only this time our “partner” is the communist government in Beijing, an authoritarian regime with an appalling record on human rights.
We at the Green Party of Canada believe there are many flaws in that agreement. And we think Canadians should know about them:

1. Open bar for Chinese state-owned enterprises

The Canada-China investment agreement means easier takeovers of Canadian assets, especially in the resource sector. In the context of the possible takeover of Nexen by the Chinese National Offshore Oil Company (CNOOC), it is crucial that we collectively pause to consider the wisdom of granting Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs) such an easy access to our natural resources.

2. Canadian laws vs. Chinese profits

The Canada-China investment agreement would allow Chinese companies (including state-owned enterprises) to sue federal or provincial governments over decisions that can limit their profits. Favorable rulings in favor of Chinese companies mean we collectively have to financially compensate the Chinese investor. It also means Canadian laws can be cancelled.

3. Back room deals

The Canada-China investment agreement would allow Chinese investors to sue Canada outside of Canadian courts. Special arbitrators would take the decisions. These arbitrators, unlike judges, do not have secure tenures or set salaries. Their decision cannot be subject to judicial review.

4. Right to be heard

Only the federal government is allowed to take part in the arbitration process. Provincial governments or Canadian companies, even if their interest are affected, do not gave the right to voice their concerns during the arbitration process.

5. China’s obsession for secrecy

The Canada-China investment agreement allows Chinese lawsuits to be kept secret. At any time, we will not know if we are being sued and who will decide the case. We will not know what our government is saying on our behalf. We will not know if Canada has been ordered to change government decisions. This is a complete U-turn for Canada who has always insisted on complete openness in investor-state arbitration, for example when signing the Canada-US-Mexico free trade deal.

What the Greens have done

The day after the Canada-China investment agreement was made public on September 26^th by the Conservatives, Green Party of Canada Leader Elizabeth May held a press conference to warn Canadians on the dangers of the agreement. The following day, Elizabeth wrote to the Speaker of the House of Commons demanding an emergency debate about the deal. Speaker Andrew Scheer, Conservative MP for for Regina-Qu'Appelle, turned down May’s request.
So far we are the only party raising the issue, demanding debate and alerting Canadians to the threat -- reduced sovereignty, reduced democracy, all for more Chinese ownership of Canada's resources.
We now call on Canadian citizens to also demand a democratic process for Canada’s ratification of FIPA while we still have time.

Rise of Communist China - Why "Its not fine"

NWO - Red Dawn TRAILER (2012)

China Invades America. EMP weapon detonated, all electronics fried. These weapons do exist and America does not currently have the defenses to protect against them. There are measures we could put in place to protect ourselves but their is not the political will to put them in place. China ordered this film to be censored and the company producing the film complied. After the film had finished shooting they had to spend about a million dollars editing out all references to china replacing them with north korea. Hollywood producers are careful to not anger china as they all are afraid of loosing access to the chinese market. In a way, the biggest threat to us is not the enemy itself but our own weak leaders who outsource our jobs, reduce our nuclear weapons capacity, and basically sell us into slavery.

Wake up Canada - New World Order Has Arrived

TOP SECRET: "The Program" Stellar Wind

The West is turning into china, loosing Freedom

This neatly compiled collection of newscasts puts together the case that something has gone very wrong at the highest levels of our society. The fact that the powerful are so paranoid that they are willing to expend huge amounts of our scarce resources on chinese style surveillance of people who are just expressing ideas shows the degree of separation between the people who make the decisions and the people who have to live under those decisions. Society seems terminally ill. After watching this one I think you will find it undeniable that 1) there is a problem 2) we need real reform.
Out of all the people who hold political power, or at least the facade of political power, there is not one person or persons that are pushing back against the police state agenda. To date, no lone executive has broken ranks with the globalists and issued orders to the political puppets to try and save the day. Is there not one among you, you men of power and privilege, who loves lady liberty more than your false trophys of excess.

I will not shut up. I know fully well the implications of speaking my mind. You can do what you will but I love liberty more than life itself. You do not have my obedience, and that is all it takes for you to lose your power. I am not afraid.

I will not live in fear, and neither will you.

A threat to public safety?

 

Obscure Information we gather like this is important because it reveals two things.
1) The narrative that various interest groups want us to believe.
2) Can reveal what certain people believe, how they think/ their worldview.

Over the course of many years you must gather a lot of information to form a bigger picture of what is going on around you. The men in black call this situational awareness. A clear picture, broad in scope will allow you to operate more effectively.

My concern is that those in power are framing legitimate political discourse as criminal behavior, that requires the all seeing eye of the intelligence agencies. We all saw how misrepresented Occupy was in the corporate press. We are culturally being engineered to accept a big brother society. Recently stories have been circulating the mainstream press expressing the view that not having a Facebook account is a red flag that should be viewed with suspicion.
 
Some employers and psychologists say staying away from social media is 'suspicious'

Are People Who Don’t Use Facebook Psychopaths?

People Without Facebook Accounts Are 'Suspicious.'

Weather it be the shutdown of the Occupy protests or the Battle in Seattle, we see a recurring pattern of corporate elites using their hired guns (government) to prevent much needed social change. Sure its not as bad on this continent as it is in china...... yet. You have to ask yourself why did the people in charge outsource the economy to china. We all know where this is going, people are catching on and getting restless.

A source informed me that discontent is rising among the Alberta tar-sands workers. Its expressed in the subversive graffiti on the bridges and by the Atlantic accented tongues of the unhappy migrant workers who find themselves living in "The Mack". Their is no love lost between the people who actually do the hard work and those who make it harder. They don't want to build a pipeline to china, they want to refine it here and create jobs for the Canadian people. I suppose the Powers that be will soon deem it necessary to keep an eye on them too. Maybe they already have it covered. It will be hard to portray hardworking oil company employees as lazy irresponsible hippies. Maybe they will just portray the dissenters as dangerous drug addicts.  (Occupy Vancouver Incident)

Who are you more afraid of, a Citizen with Ideas, or the Globalists in your Government.

In the end no matter how they try to spin the story, we all know who the real threat to public safety really is.                
               

End of Democracy

What has our society come to, the only major media to cover such dramatic restructuring of the political/ economic system is Russia Today. Democracy is being murdered by the TPP while our major networks broadcast real housewives and the Tom and Kate divorce. Bread and circuses. And now all we have is the Russians. I don't trust Putin, he's an authoritarian thug, but I have to give RT credit for being one of the only real sources of investigative broadcast journalism left on the North American Continent. These are dark days, and we all know things will get a lot darker.
