Let’s be clear, China Tariff retaliation is not a show of strength, it’s an affirmation of a fundamental weakness native to their totalitarian economic model. It’s important to understand that China’s magnificent growth is due to a planned flood of western currencies, the West’s admission of the Chinese currency into the IMF basket of currencies that allows its debt-funded economic expansion and slave labor in abundance.
The Globalist trap that was the GATT/WTO/NAFTA etc. slaughter was intended to be the end of the sovereign economy of the Nation-State; to subdue the singularity of economic excellence into a one-world assembly of third-world servitude administered by the Uber-Class. Yes, the return of Feudalism only this time on a global scale.
Like all predators, Capitalist’s abhor Tariffs while the remaining class of opponents simply lack an understanding and/or awareness of the predatory forces that are the very underpinnings of Capitalism. Equally important is there is little to no discussion as to the distinct differences between Capitalism and Free-Market Economics.
Government intervention, into the marketplace, is always an extension of a private interest using Government to enforce their will; the rapid and unseemly death of the U.S. Free-Market Economic Base is proof of it.
To restore economic health and sustain it requires bold moves. It will require Agents of Change who understand the dynamics of economic synergies, their weaknesses and how to administer them. It will also, equally important, require the Public to be educated. Rest assured that the climb out of deprivation will be far more difficult than the slipper-slope that brought this Nation to its present state.
Ignore China’s threat? Without a global marketplace there is no tension or trade medium for this Communist Juggernaut. The demand for Asia-Pacific goods was created by the West using a lie that made it all appear to make sense. Did it really “…make the world safe for democracy” or did it merely hasten its collapse?
I can’t say that the Trump Administration’s efforts will be successful, the opposition is most certainly fierce. What I can say, with certainty, is that without a course reversal we are within fifteen months of a collapse. Why am I so certain? Simple: Rats are always, predictably so, the most likely to survive a sunken ship. Amazing how many of them you’ll find on a passing ship from China. China, by way of their BRICS project has boldly structured a replacement financial system aimed at stepping in to replace the IMF (International Monetary Fund) and BIS (Bank of International Settlements).
The Trump Administration is well aware of the current Federal Reserve System’s weaknesses, the missing stores of U.S. Sovereign Gold Reserves and the same state of affairs can be said for the EU/ECB and most if not all of the E.U. Member States. The catastrophic risk relating to all of this is more than sufficient for explaining their sense of urgency. It’s best that we pray for their (Trump Administration’s) success.
