Firstly there is no indication that such a thing is actually happening.

Apparently the Defense Sciences Board disagrees with you. Perhaps they too are believing "lies." To wit:

DSB Nuclear Capability Report

Future Strategic Strike Skills

High Performance Microchip Supply

And as for the rest of your anti-historical rants against British mercantilism, I think most historians here will recognize your views as such.

And your ahistorical bent is evident in that you don't even appear to recognize the very specific meaning of the "American System"!

“Apparently the Defense Sciences Board disagrees with you. Perhaps they too are believing “lies.” To wit:”

I am not saying it “lies”. It could be true but not to my knowledge. Could you directly quote the part form the text for the point that you are trying to make?

“And as for the rest of your anti-historical rants against British mercantilism, I think most historians here will recognize your views as such.”

I don't really care who (historian or otherwise) thinks what about my views. There are lots of self acclaimed “historian” out there with a wide diversity of views. I dont need to refer or subscribe to someon else's expertise on the subject of British mercantilism.
