    Look at Xi Jinping, Putin, DT.

    What has changed in that respect?
    It has been known since ancient times that wars are about money. They want to take resources and land from others. It did not change in America.

    History, both good and bad is vitally important. History should be taught in schools, in museums, and at historical sites. Celebrating a Confederate General in the town square of Podunk Alabama has nothing to do with history, and everything to do with celebrating individuals who fought to keep the institution of slavery and were traitors to their country. Period. End of story.

Globalization is an insectoid model foisted on thinking humans to remove the thinking and supplant it with artificially instinctive behavior using fear and remote alien power as an enforcing agent.

    The raw power and central planning of Globalization is a fatal threat to democracies everywhere on Earth. For instance, biological warfare was outlawed in 1925 with the Geneva Protocol. The People’s Republic of China, the leading beneficiary of modern globalization, used a bacterial agent (Wuhan Virus) to ensure the survival of the hive at the expense of people. They first used Sun-Tzu infiltration methods to bribe the US Congress to cede control of the US pharmaceutical industry so no American leader could accuse them of the violation without causing great pain and expense to the people.

    The odds that Covid-19 came from nature just at the perfect time to destroy a US economy that was surging are about the same as a person winning Powerball every day for the rest of his life. But thinking was removed by insectoid globalization so many believe that it was just by chance. Globalization requires the human race to give up thinking which is the one thing that separates humans from animals.

    The Chinese regard all the nations of the world as collateral damage in a globalization war against the US that they want to replace as a template for the world’s greatest power.
    None of that made any sense.

    I read the account. It is a mix of history with conspiracy theory. Note how throughout the piece names are dropped of various rich elites but nothing is actually said of their supposed involvement. Instead, it makes a guilt by association argument against them. One might also note that it favors the House Un-American Activities Committee, the same committee that in the 50's was pilloried for going after the Left and Communists.
    Also, wars can be about money, but they don't have to be. There are also those who take war as an opportunity to make money, just as those in the business world often take any event negative or positive as such an opportunity.

    On the whole, the article really doesn't explain much of anything and certainly doesn't do it well.

    Globalization is a fact like the weather. We have international corporations that sell and make products all over the world. Trump and Ivanka make their overpriced crap in China and 3rd world nations as an example. Trump only talks about being against globalism. He knows better.

    History is replete with fearful statements like the above. "I can't believe how utterly stupid supporters of the World being round are; everyone can see it is flat" "I cant believe how utterly stupid supporters of the Earth revolving around the Sun are; everyone can see the sun revolves around the Erath which is in the center". State propaganda is as powerful now as it was then.

    One only has to look at the satellite image of North Korea at night to see the condition of a nation being left out of 'globalization.' democracy.

    'Globalization' has been going on since humans began to wander the seas. If it were not for such explorations there would be no USA, land of 'democracy.' (Or oligarchy, depending on perspective.)
    Slight alteration for clarity.

    Are you suggesting that North Korea is a democracy?

    Before I respond to your thread I would like to acquaint you with my Personal Ignore Policy because my rules are more strict than the site rules. Hopefully this is reasonable:

    Personal Ignore Policy PIP: I like civil discourse. I will give you all the respect in the world if you respect me. Mouth off to me, or express overt racism, you will be PERMANENTLY Ignore Listed. Zero tolerance. No exceptions. I'll never read a word you write, even if quoted by another, nor respond to you, nor participate in your threads. ... Ignore the shallow. Cherish the thoughtful. Long Live Civil Discourse, Mutual Respect, and Good Debate! ps: Feel free to adopt my PIP. It works well.

    If this is agreeable then I hope we have many interesting discussions. If not, we won't be talking long.

    With a chip your shoulder the size of a redwood anything can be regarded as disrespectful. Intimidating new members is a poor way to stimulate "interesting discussions". If we are done talking that is up to you.
