The WTO Should Be Abolished

This is one of the most truthful articles from a politician I’ve read in ages. (link) It was written in a New York Times editorial so it’s getting a lot of exposure. Josh Hawley is making a lot of noise in Washington recently.  Most of it good.  He’s been ratting the saber at corporate malfeasance. A lot of it enabled by his own party.  His message won’t win in Washington unless we have radical, independent minds swept into public offices. But, it’s a first step in raising this into the conscious mind of everyone.

While I am at it, the rhetoric out of the White House regarding China isn’t abating.  Pompeo has to be one of the biggest pathological liars in Washington. His comments on the Sunday political show was ridiculous.  He double-talked himself right into exposing his own lies.  But, the point is Reuters reported on Monday that the White House appears to be engaging the entire government to try to rip all critical business away from China. (link) Don’t think it’s coming back here.  It almost certainly won’t.  American corporations are addicted to slavery to maintain their profits and entitlement.  Corporate capitalism has a dark and insidious side that relies on dehumanized exploitation for its success.  Corporations have hidden behind the veil of this with work that remains in the U.S. through the exploitation of immigrants, undocumented workers and minorities but bringing all businesses back would create a massive labor war in the U.S.  That train is already leaving the station as a new labor movement is building in the U.S.

The U.S. has finally realized that using China as a slave labor camp has allowed the Chinese to move up the food chain to higher value goods and services.  That threatens the very existence of the U.S.  Not just empire. But of the U.S. 

This is only the start of the seminal moment I’ve been writing would eventually come to pass for the last fifteen years.  It’s implications are staggering.  And, to be honest, disconcerting.  The world won’t crumble overnight but there’s no going back.
