I keep wondering just what the "more sophisticated and lucrative sectors" consist of these days.
Oh, I know, class-action lawsuits. That must be where the big money money is...
Or maybe politics...
Aside: My neighbor is in the "tool" business. Wrenches, files, that sort of thing. He told me that the largest foundry in Canada just folded up after 140 years in business. Their biggest customer, Cincinnati Milicron, was not placing any orders due the the depression here in the U.S.
My reply 5:
Human labor under socialism is like oil under the desserts of the Middle East. And it is the business of socialism to "O.P.E.C." labor such as the O.P.E.C. Nations control oil.The interest of American businesses in "opening up free trade with socialism" will be a "ball and chain" around the right of self-governance. No democratic-republican-thinking and freedom-loving people will be able to resist peacefully, I am afraid, the economic "mood swings" which the socialists will be able to affect, should American businesses further tie themselves to the price of labor in socialist countries.
Because whenever the socialists want to wield power, they can adjust "the spigot" at the socialist-controlled "labor fields" and sour the generally-more- "conservative administration" of the United States of America. The socialists can simply increase the price and problems of labor.
This is the international interest of the Red Chinese (among other socialists): to control the "labor fields." The communists now have control over territories within the Western Hemisphere. And my concerns are two-fold:
The Red Chinese military installations in Cuba. The Red Chinese missiles --- in the Western Hemisphere --- aimed at U.S. forces and the territories of the U.S.A, let alone aimed at our allies, as well as at countries which the "Reds" seek to intimidate.The short-term thinking which does not focus upon the price of freedom, whereby American businesses will give up some as they seek a next quarter's report reflecting the lower price of labor ... in Cuba. Very tantalizing indeed.
And the moment that Fidel Castro, "The Maximum Leader," does not want a "conservative" American President, how difficult will it be for the price of labor in the Socialist Hemisphere to shoot up? And thence, American businesses will find themselves wanting to lower their costs, and therefore they will conclude that they need to "contribute" large amounts of protection money to the socialist candidate?
On the public's part, the way to giving in to such tyranny, is paved with soothing re-assurances of good intentions, such as, that "socialism" is about "being a social liberal." But upon arrival, socialism is much more about the usurption of the boardroom ... from on high ... and it is always nationalizing control over the economy and the peoples' every aspect of their culture, their lives, and their livelihood.
The purchase of labor from socialist countries is the aim of Clintonism; and it is the lust of too many, among American businesses.
And at the cost is our Liberty.
I hate to say it, but the war is here...
I am not alarmed by what Red China may do to Taiwan. Because the Red Chinese do not seek the destruction of Taiwan. "Victory" over Taiwan, is measured by the strength of intimidation in the balance of power known as "face" in the Orient...
The most awsome power that freedom-loving people have to fear, is that socialism can control them by means that are not generally military.
And the greatest means is fear --- the most striking talent of "President" Clinton and his minions.
I would expect that "President" Clinton will conjure up in the public's mind, some sort of "biological terrorism" -type threat, which would require his holding onto the Office or transferring power to Al Gore and suspending the Fall '00 elections. "President" Clinton is the "time bomb" who is un-predictable; ask the Secret Service.
He is a fear-monger. People are in a panic, thinking that "something must be done about" whatever "President" Clinton has set forth as the thing to be feared. The people have nearly, utterly, forgotten about the limits of power --- of the federal government --- and the rights of the people within their States, to resolve the threats to their homes, communities, and the States via their State legislatures.
The matter of the right to keep and bear Arms, falls under the rights of people and the States to wrestle with the topic of being "well regulated," according to the Second Amendment.
The matter of "biological terrorism" falls under the jurisdiction of the federal government. Tick. Tock. What will the Clinton mind think up for the next crisis du jour?
