George Washington’s Farewell Address was concerned about the danger of secession. It was written by Alexander Hamilton and was never intended to be a perpetual warning against involvement in Europe. It was directed specifically at involvement in the English-French wars at a time when this nation was too weak to defend itself from the civil war within the nation which would have followed siding with the English.

It was never to be taken as a call for isolationism.

If you believed this to be “planned” you would have to also believe someone knows what they are doing and how to do it. There is no one like that “really” in charge.

I did not get specific about Washington's caution about foreign entanglements. We may have common ground there.

If you believed this to be “planned” you would have to also believe someone knows what they are doing and how to do it. There is no one like that “really” in charge.

But, I don't agree with your perspective on the "planned" aspect of the assault on the US.

Men, even brilliant men are not very good at pulling off grand schemes. Fact. But BHO, Jr. was elected. He is covered for by the MSM. He is in allegiance with our traditional enemies. He has done nothing in office but make things worse for our nation, in my opinion by design. He has made many mistakes that made him look foolish, but the MSM Press continues to protect him. There are foreign element who campaigned for him in the US. There are foreign elements who work for his minions on Twitter, see them daily. The OWS crowd is directed by his surrogates. YES, THERE IS COORDINATION. Are they omnipitent, NO. Have they been somewhat effective, yes.

Obozo serves the father-of-lies. I do not discount that as the source of "planning" you referred to.

isolationism

Now that is a loaded word. It is often invoked by the "Internationalist" as a derogatory term.

Way back in the 1970's I read a book entitled: The Economic Bases of Peace by Ernest Minor Patterson (Not: The Economic Basis of Peace) It dealt extensively with Autarchy, Internationalism, Intranationalism, Regionalism, A World Economy, The book was first published in 1939, my reprint was done around 1971.

Went to my library tonight and intend over the next few days to revisit it. Have a couple of other books from the 1929-1939 period that I may look at again. In light of the Global Economic Mess.

None of these structures are without problems. Certainly "Globalism" (and it's blind leap of faith) are not without dangers. In my opinion, Globalism is the semi-structure with the most potential for evil. For that reason I have contempt for those who zealously persue that as a final solution.

Old Chinese proverb: "Today's problems were often yesterdays solutions."
