TRUE DOLLAR JOURNAL

On March 21, 2018, the publishers at the Council of Foreign Relations published a lament by Richard N. Haass. In his whine over globalist plutocrats losing control, Haass spins a fantasy about the world after World War 2.

In Haass' delusion, the post-WW2 world was liberal and individuals had "protected" "human rights." Meanwhile, communists murdered millions between 1945 and 1980. Commie Chinese alone murdered more than 76 million between 1949 and 1987.

Idiotically, Haass actually believes that institutions such as the United Nations promoted peace. The Korean War was a so-called police action by the United Nations.

Behold Haass in his publicly-displayed stupidly:

Liberalism is in retreat. Democracies are feeling the effects of growing populism. Parties of the political extremes have gained ground in Europe. The vote in the United Kingdom in favor of leaving the EU attested to the loss of elite influence. Even the US is experiencing unprecedented attacks from its own president on the country’s media, courts, and law-enforcement institutions. Authoritarian systems, including China, Russia, and Turkey, have become even more top-heavy. Countries such as Hungary and Poland seem uninterested in the fate of their young democracies. 

It is increasingly difficult to speak of the world as if it were whole. We are seeing the emergence of regional orders – or, most pronounced in the Middle East, disorders – each with its own characteristics. Attempts to build global frameworks are failing. Protectionism is on the rise; the latest round of global trade talks never came to fruition. There are few rules governing the use of cyberspace.

At the same time, great power rivalry is returning. Russia violated the most basic norm of international relations when it used armed force to change borders in Europe, and it violated US sovereignty through its efforts to influence the 2016 election. North Korea has flouted the strong international consensus against the proliferation of nuclear weapons. The world has stood by as humanitarian nightmares play out in Syria and Yemen, doing little at the UN or elsewhere in response to the Syrian government’s use of chemical weapons. Venezuela is a failing state. One in every hundred people in the world today is either a refugee or internally displaced.

Idiotically, what Haass calls liberalism, is not liberalism at all. It has been Global Plutocracy Protectionism.

The extreme rich hate authentic competition. They do everything in their power to gain protection through law so they can avoid competitors.

To rationalize his delusion, Haas tries to lay blame squarely upon United States President Donald Trump:

But the weakening of the liberal world order is due, more than anything else, to the changed attitude of the US. Under President Donald Trump, the US decided against joining the Trans-Pacific Partnership and to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement. It has threatened to leave the North American Free Trade Agreement and the Iran nuclear deal. It has unilaterally introduced steel and aluminum tariffs, relying on a justification (national security) that others could use, in the process placing the world at risk of a trade war. It has raised questions about its commitment to NATO and other alliance relationships. And it rarely speaks about democracy or human rights. “America First” and the liberal world order seem incompatible. 

And in the ultimate display of stupidity, Haass claims that Americans will become poorer if the plutocracy's New World Order gets swept away:

America’s decision to abandon the role it has played for more than seven decades thus marks a turning point. The liberal world order cannot survive on its own, because others lack either the interest or the means to sustain it. The result will be a world that is less free, less prosperous, and less peaceful, for Americans and others alike.

The greatest stretches of GDP growth in the 20th century happened between 1964 through 1971. And during those years, exports as a percent of GDP hovered around 6%.



1961-1964, 49.0%
1962-1965, 49.1%
1963-1966, 55.6%
1964-1967, 57.1%
1965-1968, 70.5%
1966-1969, 71.1%
1967-1970, 74.6%
1968-1971, 83.5%.

Yet, since the Era of Globalization, since 1989, exports as a percent of GDP have doubled to 12%. Incomes as expressed in True Dollars have fallen every year


If Haass were a man and thus truthful, he would could talk about reality in truthful words. In that spirit, I have taken the liberty to fix Haass' lament.

Global Plutocracy Protectionism (aka Neo-liberalism) is in full retreat.

The working-class are rejecting the lies of plutocracy-technocracy. Plutocrats and their employed technocrats have lost ground.

• Brits decided to take back their fractional sovereignty from EU technocrats doing the bidding of Euro plutocrats.
• Americans are experiencing unprecedented truth from their president told about the country’s media, courts, and secret police agencies.
• China, Russia, and Turkey have been authoritarian countries since WW2.
• The people of Hungary and Poland have taken great interest in their fates.
• Attempts to force global frameworks are failing.
• Attempts to centralize control cyberspace are failing.
• Venezuela reveals that socialism never will succeed.
• Technocrats and media spinsters can lie no longer and claim that hordes of population-replacement immigrants are refugees.

Why is this happening?
