Weird and Wonderful US History

“In 1923, the United States produced 49% of all products worldwide. 6 In the years between 1919 and 1927, the American economy grew ten times as fast as in the years of 1900-1919. 7”

[Twenty years dominated by Teddy and Woodrow Wilson — 1900-1919. Even sharper than that — a depression that spilled into 1921. 1919 and 1927 ... sharper than that ... the Harding Recovery from 1921 policy / Roaring Twenties, leaping out from a depression through tax cuts AND spending cuts! It would be interesting to compare Teddy’s Panic of 1907 on through to Wilson’s depression into 1921 with Harding’s 1922 - 1927]

It is no wonder that this economic success attracted attention from other nations. The German public, dominated by middle class and intellectuals, never tired of praising the American accomplishments in economic issues. Even those from a socialist background, such as the Social Democrats and unionists saw the United States as a model for future German development. The US capitalist system seemed to create a population without the polarization into extreme left and right wings that was present throughout the whole Weimar Republic. Not only did it provide a solution for economical problems, but it also solved political problems. 8

The American economy was highly impressive to the Germans of the time. American practices which were believed to improve the economy streamed into Europe. The US was seen as a land of rationalisation and pragmatism. Two concepts were applied, Taylorism and Fordism.

Another expression for Taylorism is “scientific management”. Frederik Taylor, an engineer in the “Midvale Steel Company”, invented this kind of management even before the First World War. The kernel of his program was the division of labour in hundreds or thousands of exactly calculated small steps. This rationalisation was made possible by a scientification of management and production. The elimination of all useless steps led to an increase in production by forty times. 9

Fordism was invented by Henry C. Ford. His use of the assembly line in the production of his famous “Model T” car made it possible for him to produce fast and cheap automobiles in high numbers. This is the basis for mass consumption. Division of labour was also part of his philosophy. The “Model T” was produced in 7882 small steps.10 Labour became stricter and was determined by stop-watch and assembly line.

Economic Suicide the Keynesian Way [Keynes a homosexual pedophile!]
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2629201/posts

[Snippets]

Dobbs goes on to describe Keynes’ homosexual relationships and fondness for young boys, which Keynes usually acquired in third-world countries where such services were more easily, and discretely, purchased than in more developed countries.

(As a much older man, Keynes wrote of those halcyon days of his youth, “We repudiated all versions of original sin, of there being insane and irrational springs of wickedness in most men. We were not aware that civilization was a thin and precarious crust…and only maintained by rules and conventions. It did not occur to us to respect the extraordinary accomplishment of our predecessors in the ordering of life, or the elaborate framework that they had devised to protect this order. We completely misunderstood human nature, including our own”).

While “Sugar Keynes” is no doubt an eye-opening account of Keynes’ sexual proclivities, bed-mates, and Far Left soul mates, the book “Keynes at Harvard” by Dobbs is where to go if you want to understand how truly poisonous Keynesian economics is.

World War II in the Pacific

Japanese Unit 731

Biological Warfare Unit

http://www.ww2pacific.com/unit731.html

“In 1942, germ warfare specialists distributed dysentery, cholera and typhoid in Zhejiang Province in China but Japanese soldiers themselves became ill and 1,700 died of the diseases. An estimated 440,000 Chinese died of this germ warfare.”

[Some Japanese generals did propose bio-attacks on US, but they hoped that the balloon bombs would spread forest fires.]

Another scheme: “... codenamed Cherry Blossoms at Night, the plan was to use kamikaze pilots to infest California with the plague.”
