In order for these sorts of ideas to take hold, they must have support amongst the masses and that starts in the gubmint indoctrination centers, er, uh, I mean pubik skools. It is sickening to see what is being force-fed to the kids coming up nowadays......
I see this as even more serious than you guys have stated.
Our country is returning to the days when it was a source of raw materials for England, just as Africa and the Near East has been a source for everyone during our lifetime.
The raw materials will be, as they have been in the examples above, removed from our country, processed in other countries and then sold around the world.
Of course, history seems to indicate that the real profits are made and the resulting increase in living standards is made in the country that does the manufacturing, not in the countries from which the raw material is extracted.
Further, when we have no refineries, who will control our destiny, our world influence? He who can shut off our access to refineries or bleed us for access to them.
This will be a turning point in world history as great as that of WWII because it will be the beginning of the end of the USA as we know it.

If we do not wish to lose our freedom, we must learn to tolerate our
neighbor’s right to freedom even though he might express that freedom
in a manner we consider to be eccentric.
