Peggy Noonan
 

Peg Noonan bloviates her way through another weekend article in the 9/14-15/19 issue of the Wall Street Journal.  Don’t get me wrong, believe me I don’t mean bloviate in its negative sense but, since it doesn’t have a positive sense, I mean in a more neutral sense—she’s just talking and I like a good talker.  Peg is the best.

I nearly fell off my chair when in her first paragraph she mentions James Burnham.  That’s going back quite aways to an obscure figure.  Of course her photo is probably touched up but she doesn’t look old enough to know James Burnham except from his books and history.  If you catch my good side, which is a toss up, in a photo I look younger than Peg.

Burnham was your usual Commie who turned whatever post-WWII when the 1917 generation felt that Stalinism failed them, which is to say his crimes could no longer be concealed, so they chose a different boring from within strategy and called themselves born again conservatives.  Burnham, Peg says, was a founder of the magazine National Review.  Good title, it sounds definitely right-wing.  It took me about two issues in the Sixties when I launched into what has passed for an adult life to realize that the Review was a magazine run by born-again Reds.  Christ, Whittaker Chambers said he ‘abandoned’ Communism and immediately became a senior editor of Time Magazine, a so-called conservative rag.  Time and Newsweek both were suspect outfits.  Newsweek marketed a book because it weighed five pounds.  I still have my copy.  Still weighs five pounds.   I have since moved higher and recently bought a twenty pounder.  I’m heavy into self-improvement.

Anyway, Burnham wrote books. Just before 9/11, to leap ahead a moment, it was announced that 2.3 trillion dollars couldn’t be accounted for, just disappeared.  Went away.  Can anyone really wrap their mind around 2.3 trillion.  Incomprehensible.  Without asking yourself how much 2.3 trillion dollars weighs which can be represented in comprehensible numbers, do you how much 2.3 trillion dollars is?  Nobody does.  Incomprehensible.

What this has to do with Burnham?  Along about 1951 an atom bomb disappeared from the stockpile.  Do you know how big an atom bomb was, how much it weighed?  One can’t even consider it in relation to Newsweek’s five pound book.  But that’s not the important part.  Burnham though he knew where it was, in a general sense. It was in the basement of a house in the South Side of Chicago—in the Black Belt, Chicago.  Yowsuh, Negroland.  How do you get a bomb that big into the basement of a house in the Black Belt.  Obviously you disguise it as a five thousand pound book going by at five miles an hour on a flatbed.  What and how else?  It must have easier to build the Great Pyramid.

So, here’s Peg, quoting this guy Burnham who sagely said:  If there’s no alternative there is no problem.  OK, I can dig that.  I used to be a beatnik a few decades back and we could talk like that all day long.  Once you get the swing of it it’s easy.  Viz. ‘the greatest minds of their generation’ Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsburg and geniuses of that stamp.

So, having made her point Peg goes off on a blizzard of ‘everyone knowses’.    Everyone knows the Democratic candidates are dildoes.  But everyone knows that Pres. Trump is a nutcake so I suppose that means dildoes to the left of me, nutcakes to the right, Sane people in the middle.  There is no alternative so there is no problem to follow Burnham and Peg’s logic.

As much as I like Peg’s stuff, she could develop a more subtle understanding.  Trump is the alternative and Democrats find that a problem.  Everybody knows that, and, she says everyone knows Trump makes a fool of himself with his tweets as though that were an unforgiveable sin.  She doesn’t ask why Trump turned to making tweet storms with winds up to 180 miles per hours.  I can answer that question.  Because from the moment he announced his candidacy the United Media of America made the greatest noise of denunciation America has ever heard.  Even H.L. Mencken who was always prepared for the worst in politics would have been stunned into breathlessness.

How else was Trump to breach this wall of vitriol?  Every reasonable remark he made was turned into something ridiculous by the media.  As President of the United States he was openly mocked by ignorant TV commentators during interviews.   No, Lemon, no, put your hand down, you’ve got your own forum.  Trump’s only way to make a point as everyone knows was to tweet it out.  And then Twitter intimated it was going to ban him for, get this, hate speech.  Nevertheless his tweeting has worked and breached the offensive of the media.

So my point is that until Left and Right acknowledge  how unfairly the President has been treated I have to dismiss every single criticism of the Pres. as mere bigotry.

Peg writes:  By my observation something is going on with Trump supporters.  They now concede much more about him in private than they did in the past.

In other words Peg is insulting Trump’s supporters as total nutcakes who now realize Trump is dropping below even their nuttiness.  Nonsense, we Trump supporters have always served as apologists for his seeming faux pas and gaffes.  Now they’re beginning to make sense.  Everyone knows….

There is no middle Peg and if there were they would have the alternative of voting for delusional Leftists or intelligent Rightists.  In the same issue of the WSJ containing your ruminations Peg the Journal records that China has just blinked in Trump’s ‘crazy’ trade war.  They are removing the ‘punitive’ tariffs on food stuffs- that is principally pork and soybeans. Why?  Not as a concession to encourage Trump but because they can’t feed their people.  They need us more than we need them. 

Trump wins if he knows how to weaponize food and doesn’t get into any Democratic sentimental maunderings.  You see, it is easy to win trade wars when you can starve the other guy out.  Everybody knows that and I believe the Pres. does too.  Just takes a little time but then that is what negotiations do, isn’t it?  You may learn Peg, that the Pres. isn’t nutty, just crazy like a fox.

This is the funniest news paragraph I’ve read in a very long time.  From The WSJ 9/14/19 headline:  China Waives Tariffs On U.S. Farm Goods.

 

China will exempt purchases on U.S. soybeans, pork and other agricultural products from punitive tariffs, in a move that appears aimed at addressing one of President Trump’s demands during the protracted trade war

Oops.  China can’t feed itself.  They require US soybeans, pork and other essentials that they can’t provide for themselves.  Oops.  They think they’re doing the US a favor by removing ‘punitive’ tariffs. Not at all.  What they are doing is demanding that the US provide them with food essentials. Begging even.   How hilarious this is.

What President Trump should say is that no, no, if you want us to feed you then you must provide us with an incentive and that is this and this and this and this.  Then, no problem, we are shaking hands.  The very idea that the Chinese are caving to US demands!  How can I or anyone else stop laughing.  Concede or starve China.  What about those other sources from whom you were going to buy?  Well, what about them?

And my message to leeching US farmers is this.  The Pres. Has put you in the driver’s seat.  You can expect no more problems from the Chinese.  Now that you can recoup every dime you temporarily lost from China you can repay the American people every goddamn billion you extorted from us in your anguish.  Give that money back.  We need it.  You have been compensated and how.

Are America And China

Trading Friends Or Enemies?

We’ve got a new flap concerning old grievances.  The Sunday (7/25/19) New York Times, our arbiter on which news is fit to print and which isn’t, has published a front page article condemning Pres. Trump’s recent tweet encouraging US companies to move back to the US.  The Times is outraged that anyone would consider China an enemy, that is pursuing purely Chinese goals at everyone else’s expense.  In some circles such self-centeredness would be considered aggression but not the NYT.

For decades now Americans have been complaining about the lack of transparency in governmental decisions.  Heck, Obama even ran as a transparent candidate but then reneged immediately on election.  We have it now.  Pres. Trump is so transparent that he tweets his goals and objectives on a daily basis in the what the NYT derogatively designates as ‘tweet storms.’

I guess there’s transparency and then there’s transparency.  There’s a good transparency and a bad transparency.  We’ve never seen the former and now that we have the latter we’ll have to accept that as a step forward.

At any rate, what is clear to everyone not a Liberal is that China has been taking advantage of America’s good will for decades and the Pres. wants to stop it.  Hence, he has ‘ordered’ US companies to begin laying the foundations for a return to America’s ‘welcoming shores.’

The NYT disagrees with this affirmative action as it is so wedded to the China First policies of the last seventy years.  It would be too costly and impossible for such a return to take place, they say.  They point out the Chinese plants would have to be abandoned and that would be an outrageous financial burden. (It would also be the first time they considered the welfare of businesses.)  One tires of pointing out the contradictions of Liberal thought but one must ask why abandoning vast US factories to establish themselves in China was not an intolerable financial burden on companies?  Why are these millions of vacated acres and rusting plants in the US not a symbol of something?  One also has to ask what dog does the NYT have in this matter?  We all know that Mexican money is propping up the NYT propaganda factory; how much are they getting from China?

The Pres. does have the authority, if for nothing else, to encourage the companies to re-establish  in the US.  In any event building the infra structure would take some time, longer or shorter depending on the industry, reestablishing pipelines etc.

But that fabulous propaganda machine, the NYT, that can’t do advocate, says it can’t be done.  Transferring businesses only works from West to East but the earth’s rotation, apparently, precludes East to West.

One is reminded of that old saw of Louis XIV or Jack Kennedy, take your choice, about planting the tree that takes a hundred years to mature.  To  overrule the gardener, one the other or both are said to have excitedly ejaculated:  My goodness, get it in the ground right away we have no time to lose.

Same situation here.  Get moving.

How A Global Trading System Dies

How A Global Trading System Dies

by

My title is one of the two slogans on the cover of the September/October issue of the CFR’s Foreign Affairs magazine.  As it is the CFR that can only mean the Council is lamenting the termination of the Chinese uncontested domination of manufacturing and distribution in both Europe and North America.

Of course nothing is more natural or desirable than change.  During the Obama administration when the whole of American mores were forcefully being changed change was good.  Now that President Trump is reorganizing the CFR trading system out of favoring China change is lamentable.  The unfair Chinese system was thought perfect by the CFR.

Strangely, in reading the articles in Foreign Affairs there seems to be a cognitive disconnect about what happened.  The Chinese did not originate the Chinese Trading System to which the CFR alludes, the US did.  The Chinese didn’t have an inkling of an idea of establishing a global trading system.  The country was quite insular and seemingly content to stay that way.

Then in 1971 Nixon and Kissinger traveled to China, groveling before Mao in his nighties and changed the successful old system of Chinese containment releasing the genie from the bottle.

Then Americans, always ready to sell their birthright for a mess of pottage, saw that the Chinese would work hard for virtually nothing so they took their expertise and exported it to China free of any charges to show them how to make gidgets and gadgets for simple minded Americans and so to be able to eventually conquer the world without munitions or armies of any sort but by simply manufacturing gidgets and gadgets.

Not being complete idiots the Chinese studied American history during the nineteenth century and learn that by merely using intellectual properties without paying for them was a royal road to riches and by excluding competition from American goods and restricting outside investments to exclude the very corporation who were exploiting cheap Chinese labor, stealing trade and manufacturing secrets that all the apples on the tree would fall in China.

Speaking of apples, here is an example of the peculiar trading system the CFR so adores.  At one time Washington State was shipping whole crops of apples to China and prospering mightily.  The bureaucrats in DC, mostly CFR members considerately thought this matter over and, apparently thinking it unfair that American growers should be prospering they ordered the Washington State growers to go to China and teach them how to grow apples commercially themselves.  You see, the Chinese couldn’t figure that one out themselves.  Consequently Washington State growers lost that lucrative market.

And in that vein the CFR bureaucrats organized their amazing global trading system whose demise they now deplore.  The opinion of the apple growers hasn’t been solicited.

This incredibly unfair, even criminal, approach to global trade is now dying a natural death.  No, correct that, President Trump is blowing it apart.  As Chinese intransigence hardens into a total refusal to give up their advantages conferred on them by the CFR, President Trump, who’d rather win than lose, is hardening the US approach.  In the latest development he is apparently assuming an autocratic stance more consonant with global political trends and has or is about to order US corporations to abandon China and bring their manufacturing back to the US.

Such a ukase would be the worst thing that could happen to China that, after all, has built its prosperity by exploiting the people of the US and Europe.

Not only is a global trading system dying but the whole post-French Revolution democratic political system is dying.  Democracy is dead as autocracy rises from the ruins of the pre-Soviet Revolution Czarist autocratic system.  Today, change is now.  Rather than resist the current, let’s go with the flow.

The End Of Democracy

The End Of Democracy

by

R.E. Prindle

 

The September/October issue of Foreign Affairs, the mouthpiece of the Council On Foreign Relations arrived in the mail.  The cover told me the whole story of the contents.  The cover displays two slogans: the first is ‘Autocracy Now’ and the second is ‘How A Global Trading System Dies.’

For this piece let us tackle the slogan: ‘Autocracy Now.’  The CFR notes the multiplying of autocrats.  Xi, Putin, Duterte, Ergonon etc.  It pictures five while omitting the head of the EU, an autocrat if there ever was one, and the Presidency of the US.  Note I do not specify Trump.  The autocracy of the United States began with Bush Sr. continuing through Clinton, Bush Jr., Obama and now President Trump.  Democracy is dead and has been since at least 9/11/01.

The majority of the US is opposed to everything that is being foisted on it by a Liberal minority opposed to the majority. A Liberal minority rules the majority regardless what the majority wants or, indeed, votes for.  A compliant judiciary declares all majority votes unconstitutional.  That’s autocracy friends.  The majority is impotent, the minority rules.  Any dissenting head is smashed down.

Currently in Hong Kong, Xi has ordered that any employee of the airport who participated in the revolution is to be fired.  The White administrator has complied.  Nor is this complacency limited toward the Chinese autocrat.  In the US anyone, for decades now, of prominence refusing to tow the Liberal line has been fired on trumped up charges amounting to nothing.  No on can get or keep a job unless he’s a simpering idiot like Anderson Cooper.  It took a few decades to assimilate Faux News but it has been done just recently.

We are, in fact experiencing a sea change not only in Western Civilization but in global civilization.  The apparent democracy established by the French Revolution has passed.  It is no more.  Democracy has died, the passing was signaled by 9/11/01 and HomeLand Security.  Autonomy has reemerged as the governing force.  The Russian Czars were just a few centuries ahead of their time.

The time of crisis is now hitting the US.  President Trump aborted the establishment of the Liberal autocracy by unbelievably defeating its candidate, Hillary Clinton, who defrauded the Democratic popular candidate Bernie Sanders.  She’s CFR, is it clear?

The exact point of the crisis in the US then, is the election of 2020.  If the Left wins in the US, as it most assuredly will, the US will be placed under the iron heel of an incompetent Leftist boob, whoever that Democratic candidate may be.  It therefore behooves President Trump to establish an official autocracy of the Right, suspend the election, or at least count the ballots as the Dems have been doing for decades to get the desired result.  The results of the election can be announced beforehand to relieve the ‘suspense.’

Now, Xi is clearly is taking actions to destroy personal initiative in Chinese territories that are steadily expanding.  Obama was doing the same in the US.  It is to be believed then that all the autocrats save possibly Trump will act to suppress any freedom of thought or expression thus ensuring the collapse of civilization.

The time has come to steel ourselves to act in our own self-interest.  If any fragment of civilization is to survive, let it be us.  Act now or wear the yoke forever.

Trump As The Wave Of The Future

Trump As The Wave Of The Future

The election of Trump in the US and the cancellation of Great Britain’s ties with the EU has been traumatic for the Left.  Little volcanoes of anguish have erupted here and there.  One of these being an anguished scream from the New York times in an opinion piece by a Hollander by the name of Ian Baruma.  The essay appeared in the New York Times Magazine of 12/4/16 under the title Exit Wounds.

The precis block on the title page tells the whole story:  For seven decades the United States and Britain defined and defended a version of democracy and freedom that profoundly shaped the global order.  What happens when their own citizens opt out of it?

The Times might as well have asked when that vision failed why should those citizens wish to maintain it?

As the Times says it was ‘a’ not ‘the’ vision of democracy and freedom.  The Times editors cannot conceive that perhaps their vision was flawed.  Freedom and democracy for whom?  In the US White males were disenfranchised and made second class citizens; in Britain British citizens were denied the right to determine their own future as the elites displaced them with unlimited immigration from incompatible cultures and peoples.  And now these elites grieve because their subjects, not fellow citizens, but subjects have finally rebelled.

Quoting the Time editors again:  No doubt Trump and Farage regard Britain and the United States as exceptional nations.  But their success is dismaying precisely because it goes against a particular idea of Anglo-American exceptionalism.

So you see the Left’s dilemma.  They espouse ‘a particular idea of Anglo-American exceptionalism.’   While granting that Trump and Farage have a different idea of exceptionalism, if they do, it is not the Left’s idea and their idea is beautiful they believe while the other is ugly.

It is not even debatable than an idea of Anglo-American exceptionalism exists or not.  What makes their idea exceptional may not be that exceptional to non-believers.  I for one do not believe either the US or Great Britain are exceptional.  Nor are the two countries even Anglo nor have been for a century.  What do Trump and Farage and we dissidents represent to the Left?

Angela Merkel’s message to Trump on the day after his victory was a perfect expression of Western values that are still worth defending.

 

She would welcome a close cooperation with the United States, she said, but only on the basis of  ‘democracy, freedom and respect for the law and the dignity of man, independent of origin, skin color, religion, gender, sexual orientation or political views.’

 

Is the woman insane?  Is she aware of how her words conflict with her actions?  Is she not aware that her prisons are full of political dissidents?  Is she not aware that it is an imprisonable crime in Germany as well as other European countries, and one might add, Canada, to discuss certain historical matters in an objective fashion?  I am referring to the period from the Soviet Revolution in Russia to the final conclusion of that revolution between the Reds and Whites in 1945.

To deviate from the official promulgated narrative is a crime punishable by incarceration for decades.  Is Mad Mama Merkel truly so obtuse that she can’t see she contradicts her lofty words with her base actions?

The silly woman touts respect for the law yet she imports a million or two Moslem immigrants who have no respect for German  or Western law systems whatsoever.  Is she unaware that in Cologne a year or two ago those persons of a different complexion and religion combined to rape and abuse hundreds, perhaps thousands of German women because they don’t observe Sharia law for women?  Is Mad Mama truly mad.  She demands respect for freedom from Trump but denies it to her own people?  Does she have her wits about her?  She even refused to allow the police to pursue and arrest the culprits.  Madame, they have institutions for people of your mentality.  This silly woman should be sent to St. Helena to die the lingering death decreed for Napoleon.  She does not belong in Europe.  Send her to Aleppo.

And this crazed woman has the audacity to tell Trump that she will only cooperate with him if he is as crazy as she is, if he allows American women to be raped by Moslems, unless he allows Sharia law to replace American law?  What gender is this woman?  Or does she have one?

In England Moslems abduct or corral hundreds or thousands of young English girls and ‘groom’ them into prostitutes about which the Leftist authorities do nothing lest they offend the Moslems.  Trump is supposed to pay attention to this what, neuter or else?   Woman, look to your soul.  What dignity of man and woman are you talking about?  How do you conceive it?  What insane vision are you following?

Yes, we do have two different thought processes; we are two different nations and yours must be destroyed.

Your thought processes are so twisted, so divorced from reality as to be devoid of the least validity.

Once again the Editors of the Times:  ‘Take back our country’ means a retreat from the world that Anglo-Americans envisioned after 1945.  English nationalists have opted for a modern version of splendid isolation.  Trump wants to put America First.’

Taking back our countries is not a retreat from your particular vision after 1945; it is a rejection of that faulty vision.  It is a replacement of an outmoded thought process with one adapted to current realities not the trauma of 1945.

There is no retreat from the new world order.  The New Global ordinance is a free for all for supremacy.  Up yours with all this race and religion nonsense.  It is struggle for existence.  Darwin wins again.  China regardless of any other consideration has a population of one and a half billion people.  It is inevitable that having adopted the Western economic model that it will become by far the largest economy in the world.  It will consume the world’s entire resources leaving nothing for the rest.  This is an unavoidable conclusion.

The Chinese place China first, the ‘Middle Kingdom’ around which all others revolve.  And you’re worried about Trump placing America First?  That isn’t isolation idiots that is merely survival in a global economy.  Wrap your brains around that reality.  Get your head out of your ass.  Your post-’45 vision was flawed.  It was wrong.  You are wrong.  The Moslems don’t accept your vision of freedom and equality, the Chinese don’t accept your ideology;  we don’t accept your ideology.  You are wrong, wrong, wrong.  Learn to live with it.  Reject your ideology yourselves.  

Get over it

Trump The Globalist

Trump The Globalist

by

R.E. Prindle

 

In this great big happy global community it is always pleasant to hear from our correspondent from Peru, Mr. Hernando De Soto, in the 11/28/16 Wall Street Journal in a piece he entitles The Real Enemy for Trump Is Mercantilism, Not Globalism.  Mr. De Soto addresses this as Trump’s real problem.

In his role of incoming president Trump represents the problems facing the US and I respectfully demur from Mr. De Soto’s opinion that our problem is mercantilism.  It definitely is not.  The problem is globalism as Trump has repeatedly pointed out.  Few people seem to hear him.

The problem as Trump addresses it is the differential in the cost of producing goods in the US and the rest of the world, most specifically China and Mexico.  A secondary problem is the exclusion of American made goods and the equal right of investing globally; that is, China specifically excludes the right to invest in China that that country enjoys in investing in the US and the third problem is the artificial maintenance of the currency exchange right by China and possibly Mr. De Soto’s Peru although I am not familiar with Peruvian attitudes.  In other words Trump’s position is that the playing field has to be leveled.  Mercantilism has nothing to do with it.

In order then, for the global economy to go forward some sort of global equity should be speedily arranged and I am sure Trump will obtain this equity by any means necessary if the various participants refuse to see reason.

As far as the US part in the global economy one may say the gold rush is over.  We’ve set the global economy on its feet.  It is now time for reciprocation.  There is nothing more absurd than that US military supplies be made in China.  I’m sure Mr. De Soto sees the point.  Our people need jobs too.  Mr. Trump will bring the US economy back home.   China having been taught how can then exploit its one and a half billion population for decades without any need for the US.

The True Globalism: America First

America First-

The True Globalism

by

R.E. Prindle

 

When it comes to today’s ruling philosophy of Globalism let me say at the outset and right here and now, I am as Global in my outlook as anyone and more intelligently than most.  However the globe is a vasty ball rolling ‘cross the sky and my home is a fixed relatively small place.  As I look out my window I don’t see a globe; I see a flat disc.  As Rudyard Kipling put in his poem Sussex:

God gave all men all earth to love,

But, since our hearts are small,

Ordained for each one spot should prove

Beloved over all.

As Kipling rightly sees that even though the fate of all lives are mingled and all earth holy that which is of me and mine is holiest of all.  Kipling goes on:

So one shall Baltic pines content,

Or one some Surrey glade,

Or one some palm-grove’s droned lament

Before Levuka’s Trade.

Each to his choice, and I rejoice

The lot that has fallen to me

In a fair ground – in a fair ground –

Yea, Sussex by the sea!

Yea, as I live here in the land of the Douglas fir, and it seems paradise to me.  Looking further out I live in the United States of America and its welfare comes first to me among all other nations.

China has it claims for the Chinese I’m sure.  The Chinese being able bodied people require no sacrifice from me or mine or the people of the US.  True, our destinies are in a general way entwined but we all have to look to our own interests first.  First for me and mine, first for my city and first for America the place that gave me my identity.  I am not Chinese, I am not Indian, I am not African.  They are all able bodied people well able to look after themselves and I’m sure they place their interests first and may God bless them but in the struggle for the last crust of bread I place my needs first.

Kipling writing in 1899 at the height of the White Man’s domination of the world also wrote of what he assumed was the White Man’s responsibility.  He called his poem The White Man’s Burden:

Take up the White Man’s burden-

Send forth the best ye breed-

Go bind your sons to exile

To serve your captives’ need;

To wait in heavy harness

On fluttered folk and wild-

Your new caught, sullen peoples

Half devil and half child.

Kipling’s was an admirable creed for a singular time but that time has long since passed and our ‘new caught, sullen peoples’ have assimilated our economy and machine guns, even our atom bombs.  Times have changed, power relations have altered.  Our task ‘to serve our captive’s needs’ has now been completed.  It is time they repaid the debt.  It is time we laid the White Man’s Burden down.

I believe that is presidential candidate Donald Trump’s message.  Lay that burden down.  We don’t have to make concessions to the Chinese, Africans or any of the ‘sullen peoples’ any longer.  The Republican Establishment or Old Guard still clings to the White Supremacist attitude inherent in the lines of Kipling’s White Man’s Burden.  They are willing to sacrifice our identity, our worth, to ‘lifting’ people who have their own identity and sense of worth and who no longer need the White Man’s largess, if they ever did.

Let the dead past bury its dead.  The Republican Establishment represents that dead past while Trump looks to the horizon of the future, that Brave New World that requires a brave new attitude in competition with all on equal terms for the fair fruits of the earth.  The intertwining of fates in globalism is inescapable but globalism itself is a mirage because:

God gave all men all earth to love,

But, since men’s hearts are small,

Ordains for each one spot shall prove

Beloved over all.

Each to his choice, and I rejoice

The lot that has fallen to me

In a fair ground – in a fair ground –

[Here in the USA.]

America First.

Vote Trump!
