Cutting off the Nose to Slap the Face

When the echo repeaters of the Jewish propaganda machine are not running around inciting America to bomb this one and bomb that one, they run around inciting America to slap economic sanctions on this one and slap them on that one. They do so as if America were the economy that it was after the Second World War relative to a world that was in ruin. And they do so oblivious of the fact that the world of today is going through a process of globalization that is turning the old realities upside down.

The effect of what the agents of the Jewish propaganda machine are asking America to do is that of someone cutting his nose to slap his face. And the net result will be an America that will join the Third World at a time when everyone else will have left that designation, and before anyone has had the time to reverse America's course to save it from the influence of its Jewish pundits now in charge of its think tanks where the only thinking done is how to serve the interests of Israel and World Jewry at the expense of the American people.

To see how a scenario of that sort could realistically unfold, we need to understand how the advanced industrial economies interact with those which are developing. And for this to happen, we must begin by forming a mental picture of the organic processes by which an advanced economy would have transformed itself from being an agrarian economy to an industrial one.

The roots of industrial development can be traced back to the ancient civilizations, but industry as we define it today did not start till the invention of the steam engine, an event that took place some two centuries ago. This is when mechanization came of age because power could now be produced at will, and produced anywhere it was needed.

To be sure, power other than human or animal was produced and utilized long before that time, but it was stationary and was generated by immovable windmills and waterwheels. Such power was used to grind the grain in antiquity, and was later used to run a few production machines. But the flexibility of building a power source anywhere it was needed, or giving it wheels so that it may travel on rail tracks or sail the rivers and the oceans did not happen till the advent of the steam engine.

That was the start of the Industrial Revolution, a time when industry began to produce the new tools that gave impetus to the new scientific discoveries and the new technologies which, in turn, helped develop the newer industries that fed the cycle anew and took it up another level of sophistication. And it was this form of organic interaction between science, technology and industry that kept moving onward and upward to reach the levels that we see today and live by.

Of the three major sectors of the economy at the time – agriculture, construction and clothing – The first that the Industrial Revolution began to serve massively was agriculture given that it represented more than half the economy. Thus, industry started making the machines that could do the work of dozens of men and the animals they used to farm the land, plant it, water it, pick the crops and prepare them to send to market.

In turn, the hands that were no longer needed on the land went to work in the factories that produced the textiles and the building materials – industries that made up the rest of the economy till something new was added to them. Because the new machines were made of metals, and because they needed high energy fuel to power them, mining the metals and the coal grew to become important industries. Together with textile and building material, they went on to represent an ever larger share of the economy while agriculture represented an ever smaller share of it even though it continued to grow in absolute terms and was able to feed an ever growing population.

As science and technology advanced, the factories that produced the consumer items were equipped with faster, more automated and more reliable machines that produced a lot more than before with fewer operators to run them, and fewer maintenance people to service them. Thus, another wave of surplus workers was created; workers that needed to be retrained to work on making the new machine that put them out of work in the first place. This is how a new cycle began, one that is still ongoing and still taking innovation and industry ever higher in levels of sophistication and in complexity.

Then it happened that the underdeveloped economies woke up one day and decided it was time for them to industrialize. They were not going to reinvent the wheel so to speak, thus looked for an entry level at which point to start their industrial journey. They knew that to catch up with the developed world, they will have to gallop through all the stages of the organic evolution that the advanced economies lived though for two centuries but that they will have to travel at a faster rate.

Meanwhile, no longer able to oppose that development, and no longer able to plot, conspire or destroy what the developing nations were doing to modernize, the developed world welcomed the new reality and offered to help. Its internal debate flipped from being centered on the peril posed by the rising nations to the bright side of their development. Instead of talking about opposing those nations, the debaters now articulated the possible means by which to cooperate with them. This is when it was thought that the advanced economies should supply the developing ones with production machines, and be paid with consumer goods made by those machines now operated by foreign hands in far away factories.

As it turned out, things began as foreseen but quickly took on a different direction. It is that the developing nations chose not only to gallop and catch up with the leading edge nations, they worked to leapfrog ahead of them where they could. And so, while relying on the low tech manufacturing base that helped them leave behind their underdeveloped status, they developed their high tech industries and their R&D facilities to occupy a place at the leading edge of innovation. They literally produced the needle, the rocket and everything in-between such as the production machines that the other nations thought they could monopolize.

All the while, the advanced nations continued to see their manufacturing base shrink, a reality that caused them to start buying the consumer goods they needed from the developing nations now considered fully developed or close to that. To earn the foreign currency to pay for those goods, the once developed nations went back to doing agriculture and mining to sell abroad. And where this proved to be insufficient to pay for all that they bought, they borrowed from those who used to borrow from them.

It is hard to see how under these circumstances, the advanced economies can continue to maintain a first class level of R&D facilities. Without that and without a solid manufacturing base, most of these nations will degenerate and join the Third World of tomorrow. And the one thing that is sure to accelerate America's demise is the promiscuous slapping of economic sanctions on other nations –  a self-destructive idea that the Jews are urging it to adopt at a time when it needs to win the goodwill of everyone else.
