Very good points.
Also, Ferguso...@ freethinker --<br /><br />Very good points.<br /><br />Also, Ferguson could very easily be stepping up to the Sir James Goldsmith role. Sir James was dying in the 90s and put out some very cogent critiques of the outsourcing global economy. Sir James had a limited agenda (he thought Europe could be helped but the US was doomed, etc.) but nothing in it offered a practical way out and when the protests came in the 90s, his arguments had already been mostly forgotten. Although one hippie at the Battle of Seattle in '99 did have a copy of THE TRAP.<br /><br />Like Ferguson, Sir James saw the problems clearly but remained polite and kept a respectful distance. So cautious optimism might be warrented. Unless it turns out that he's ALSO dying and this whole subject is becoming a permissible deathbed topic.Franzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456268028429888846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5867260065662559631.post-31271646473219908622012-05-26T00:55:31.720-07:002012-05-26T00:55:31.720-07:00I suppose a Rothschild historian and 2012 Bilderbe...I suppose a Rothschild historian and 2012 Bilderberger (reportedly) will tell the truth sometimes, but he's no Carroll Quigley.<br /><br />So he says that it's globalization that is impoverishing western workers - wow, what a revelation. A central plank (Agenda-21 etc) of the NWO agenda is that the west be brought down to the level of the third world - equality and distribution of wealth (poverty). That's why we are entering the age of austerity. In the NWO utopia there will be 2 classes: the stinking rich corporate-banking-military fascist effendi and the goyim slaves under the communist yoke. Communism and Fascism are not mutually exclusive, there is a 'third way' - a synthesis of the two; the best of both for the elite and the worst of both for the lumpen masses.freethinkernoreply@blogger.com
