Doing Business according to the Jewish Gospel

When a culture runs on two legs; one called “trickery” and the other “leverage,” you see a group of adherents that can only live among productive people because they can only live at the expense of others.

When you give those adherents a place of their own, thus compel them to live by the work they do, they fail to produce the minimum necessities of life. And so, they go back to the business of locating outside suckers on whom they can sponge. When they find one that will finance their existence, they pretend to be a nation like any other ... then quickly move on to claim they are the best of nations.

This has been the history of the Jews throughout time where they operated as “Merchants of Venice” not only in the imagination of William Shakespeare, but in real life ... in places like India in Asia, England in Europe, America in the New World and everywhere in between. Among their other tricks, the Jews lent money that was not theirs, and made profits that became theirs. They achieved all this by the force of leverage which gave them the opportunity to say: Your silver pieces or your pound of flesh.

This is the culture that's behind Benny Avni writing the article that he did under the title: “Hitting China on trade would be easier with a few more allies,” published on November 19, 2018 in the New York Post. You already see everything that is vintage Jewish in this title. You see “hitting” because hurting others is what Jews love to do most. You see “easier” because getting the biggest bang for the buck is a Jewish passion. And you see “allies” because having suckers doing the work for them is a Jewish specialty.

What we have here is a weasel that wants to incite his everyday muscular sucker to go after someone regardless of the consequences of such folly. What do you think he would say to him? To be precise, what do you think Benny Avni would want to tell Donald Trump he must do with regard to the trade relations that America has with China?

Well, the standard Jewish pattern is to portray America's antagonists (whether or not they are enemies) as being strong enough to hurt the innocent, which they do regularly — being the vicious characters that they are, as would say Benny Avni — but not so strong as to survive America's attacks on them. Avni will further explain that America will do itself and everyone a great deal of good if Donald Trump played hardball with the Chinese who are today's designated antagonists opposed to America. What follows is a condensed version of the passages that illustrate this reality:

“Xi wants Beijing to displace America as global leader. Trump has imposed tariffs on Chinese goods and enhanced America's presence in the neighborhood. China's growth slowed to 6.5 percent. Even these growth numbers are suspect. China is still an economic power to reckon with. China is deeply involved in the economies of the neighborhood and in faraway places such as Africa and Latin America. China's involvement is predatory and even colonial. Beijing's initiative helps countries across Asia, Africa and Europe improve national infrastructure. But when loans go unpaid, the road could become a noose, choking debt-ridden clients”.

As can be seen, Avni begins by suggesting that China's effort to grow its economy, is not meant to give its people a higher standard of living, but meant to displace America as a global leader. He follows with the suggestion that such evil was not lost on Trump who imposed tariffs on Chinese goods, and sent warships to China's neighborhood.

This done, Benny Avni fell into the trap of echo-repeating what the economic ignoramuses have been peddling for a time now. Not knowing that there are two kinds of consumption, the economic dumbos have attributed to one the potential pitfalls of the other. Here is what escapes these people:

If a country keeps borrowing money to buy consumer goods, and has no means to pay back the loans, the country will get into trouble. But if the country borrows to invest in education, plant or infrastructure, it will be rewarded because the investment it makes today will more than pay for the interest when tomorrow will come.

Unlike the old colonial empires, China is not lending money to the elites of Third World countries to buy luxury goods it manufactures in its own plants. No; China is lending those countries to invest in infrastructure, and all that's necessary for them to grow their economies, pay back the loans, and have a solid base from where to advance and become self-sustaining economies.

If despite all this, the loans go unpaid, which is what Avni and those like him predict, the Chinese will suggest they can run the infrastructure and the plants efficiently and have them produce a profit.

The Chinese will not move the infrastructure to China; they will only appoint Chinese managers to run those places till the locals had the time to learn doing it themselves. And things will go back to normal again … leaving Avni and those like him gnashing their teeth.
