The enemy within our gates.
As far back as the first century before Christ the Roman philosopher Marcus Tullius Cicero wrote: "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. And enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear." -Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 B.C.) Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. As valuable as this historic wisdom is, it is often ignored by the masses when analyzing global status-quo. The western world today is almost certainly an unprecedented powerful bloc, no empire, kingdom or loosely connected bloc of nations has ever been as powerful as the west and in particular the US is at present, Western economies are a huge success, western culture is imitated on a massive scale, the western value system is being implemented in an increasing number of nations, sporadically by force as in the case of Iraq, but most often by consent. On top of that, all the world’s armies combined are powerless against the seemingly almighty US army. Seemingly, our position is one of great political and economical power and no worldly power except the almighty himself can undermine our privileged positions as the wealthiest, most powerful bloc in human history, most of us assume that our position will remain stable or even improve over time, little do they know that the enemy within the gates will deal a devastating blow to us, unprecedented in human history. By this time most of you almost certainly assume that I’m referring to "terrorists" when speaking of "the enemy within our gates." Not so. The enemy I'm referring to now is not foreign, he does not speak in a foreign tongue, he wears no turban, for he is in fact our own globalist capitalistic elite. And the devastating blow will not come in the form of a mushroom cloud, radiation fallout, bombs or toxic chemicals as FOX News and the likes like to suggest. No, this enemy has other tactics and its blow is a far more strategic, long-term and stealth one, it’s engineered in such a devious way that the victims will be the ones cheering as they are being dealt this huge blow, for they assume that the enemy within the gates is one of their own and has their interests in mind. So if this enemy does not use bombs, bullets or chemical weapons against us, than what does it use? The short answer is "globalism." The story begins in the late 1980’s, when the Soviet Union began to crumble. Simultaneously with the Soviet Union's downfall, the communist ideology and the threat of the "Proletarian Revolt" starts to fade away. No longer fearing a worldwide proletarian movement, the capitalistic elite started to reverse some of the concessions they made to the people of the west and sneaked this process called “globalism" on the global stage. With previously closed markets opening up, the spread of "know how" and fearing no Marxist movement, suddenly it made no sense to improve the conditions of workers in the west. The capitalistic elite now even had the opportunity to blackmail the masses with massive layoffs if they demanded too much, the globalists would just move the plant over to China, Indonesia, Vietnam or wherever where the workers would be more desperate and acceptant of their unreasonable terms, something which was impossible in the days of the Soviet Union. This is globalism in its purest form: the continuous movement of production assets to places where the price/quality ratio makes most sense business-wise, leaving behind impoverished and disillusioned societies as it moves on to the next "promised land." Globalism is often portrayed by the corporate media as a blessing for the western world, globalism would mean the export of western values and most important of all, it would mean a win-win situation for all of us economical-wise, of course the latter is a farce, since it is empirically obvious that globalism causes plants to shut down, constantly searching the globe for the cheapest labor force, a continuous process. The irony in all this is the fact that so indoctrinated have the western workers become that they see it as a historic mission to help co-promote globalism. Therein lies the huge power of the corporate media. This new formal enemy (terrorism) which was summoned on stage exactly at the same time when the Soviet Union fell, is no coincidence, for they are actually a homebredd globalist asset, functioning as lightning conductors, to be called upon to perform an unholy task, namely distracting the masses as the capitalistic elite would move the economical assets for which generations have worked, to new locations all over the globe without encountering huge opposition. The masses, far too busy fearing Al Qaida, would have little interest in minor details like the vaporization of their savings, plants shutting down and one town after another becoming unemployed, for they would be much too busy fearing an Al Qaida attack, a fear which is bred by the same corporate globalist elite by the way, for instance Rupert Mordoch's Fox news Network, shamelessly disguising their propaganda activities as “fair and balanced news." It's plausible that within two decades the once prosperous West (and especially the US) will resemble Albania or Romania. That's the optimistic view, the more pessimistic (but nonetheless realistic) view is that the American situation will be worse, since the two nations mentioned above are most certainly not rich, they are however not so heavily in debt as the US will be in a decade or two from now. As I’m typing this, the US federal government has a debt which is getting close to 10.000 billion of dollars, an unprecedented national debt. A recent study by a Noble-Prize winning economist pointed out that the direct and indirect cost of the Iraq war would most likely be somewhere in the area of 2.500 billion dollars and this is based on the fact that Iraq’s situation will not deteriorate over time, which is nonetheless likely. Most likely a war with Iran and/or Syria still lies ahead, so add a few hundred billions to the already astronomical debt. Add to this explosive mix the fact that eventually most factory jobs will disappear, eliminating the middle-class, let’s take into account that a large and stable middle-class is one of the pillars for a stable and prosperous society, destroy the pillar and the consequences will be swift and disastrous: tensions within society will increase possibly leading to (racial/class) violence, at the same time poverty will increase, by that time there won't be much money left for the army making the nation vulnerable for outside threats. There's one glimpse of hope though, because the US will be so impoverished by then that an attack is pretty unlikely, simply because the loot would not be tempting enough for potential invaders. And this is why this gradual and stealth process called globalism, which is embraced by the ignorant masses, will be their own downfall. Source . |
