If the Chinese make everything we have no leverage. That comes from a statement said in jest on "The Colbert Report." But that type of joke only is funny because it releases the tension of an inconvenient truth.
Every day we are a little more addicted that the day before the cheap assembly and even technology increasingly unavailable except for china.
our computers, our cell phones and our cars all are composed of sealed boxes made by someone else.
The idea that this is a studied attempt at disarming the United States is the subject of "China's Weaponized Economy."
Posting some additional detail without taking some substantial steps to correct the problem serves no purpose. And yet, getting a concerted effort underway to deal with the problem seems equally difficult.
The country increasingly on every level is more focused on dealing with debt while unable to control or see that the cause of it lies in a lack of manufacturing and living beyond our means in order to procure everything we consume from somewhere else.
But the problem that I face is not the problem of defining the problem. Nor is the problem in solutions, not the lease of which is to recognize that economic warfare is alive, and well and that we are being decimated by it economically.
The problem lies in how to reach the people, how to change government to effect the type of defense that would allow us to survive, prosper with goals that make sense. Books and papers don't accomplish this. It is a part of the war, the part that we have to fight at home to make sure that the war is not lost before it is joined.
How do I reach you, anger you, motivate, stir passions so that you take a stand, act, join the battle when everyday we are farther behind and when our leaders are so corrupted they battle one another rather than the true enemies, human and natural who are so much more dangerous than the policies they fear.
