Not well understood is that the banking and trading systems set up as
extensions to the Marshall Plan were designed to enforce a trading
regime that was permanently favorable to the United States. It has
been known since the beginning that this advantage would be
temporary. George Kennan and others who authored these plans to
maintain peace in the nuclear age that they would one day fail. So,
alternatives would have to be developed. These alternatives include
'direct military action to maintain US superiority' or 'alternatives
to the present control regime'.

Unfortunately the United States cannot maintain a disparity of income
through trade if it is at war with those it is trading with - so this
direct military action angle wasn't well thought out. Also
unfortunate, is there appears that no alternative to the present
control regime has been seriously considered or pursued.

The obvious thing for the U.S. to do is to admit that wide-open
international trade leaves American jobs vulnerable to cheap imports,
and so dump the WTO and go back to the days when countries set their
own tariffs, and only let in the imports that they decide they can
afford once they total up what sales they can make in exports.

After all, we can't force other countries to buy our goods, and the
only other way to limit how much we import would be to contract the
economy, throwing people out of work. This is what we're doing now,
and that alternative should be the one that's unthinkable.

I agree that each nation has to first look after its own before trying
to influence and/or benefit via others, by way of foremost setting a
good example that others would want to follow without having another
gun put to their head, of food taken from their lips, as well as
housing, education and medical care made unobtainable by those of us
that want to either directly benefit from or having control over every
scrap of fossil and nuclear energy, or else it's another war (hot or
cold) to be fought.

It seems entirely obvious that we can force global inflation if need
be of nearly 100%/year upon others by way of our global energy and
banking cartels, as well as by having perpetrated the likes of the
cold-war, 911 and of the totally bogus war in Iraq, with Iran as our
failsafe plan of action backup-war for continued profit takings at the
ongoing trauma and demise of others that we obviously don't give a
tinkers damn about.

Obviously you and others of your wussy kind go 100% along with
whatever our resident LLPOF warlord(GW Bush) and of his brown-nosed
army of clown minions decide is best, and to think that Hitler would
not have had it any other way.

Can you specify and/or demonstrate your actions otherwise? (we all
know that Willie.Moo can't)
