Thanks. But the credit needs to go to my high school aged daughter that showed it to me. She said, "Is this what you have been talking about all these years." I don't know yet how she found it, but I like it. |

Huge 33% tax levies on fuel efficient and reliable Japanese cars didn't save US automobile manufacturers either, people still bought the foreign cars. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 70738649 ![]() 11/08/2015 11:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Seems that the primary aim of that cartoon was to show how terrible communism (aka USSR/China) is. Quoting: The Oak Lady But yeah, it's pretty brilliant. Its not only that, many aspects of "1984" and "Brave New World" are also coming true. Aldous Huxley joined something called the Fabian Society and eventually started taking George Orwell to meetings with him. The Fabian Society was ostensibly a think tank for the advancement of socio-economic equality but was in reality a Rothschild front where the destruction of society was planned in great detail. Neither Huxley nor Orwell had to imagine or predict anything; they merely dramatized in print the message they received about the future of humanity at Fabian Society meetings. |

The Irony. Americans are the top consumers but that is dropping and as a consequence, the global economy is looking bleak. Corporations can't run to a Communist Nation and expect there not to be consequences, there is no free lunch. |

Did he see the rise of Big AG Corporations taking over all family farms and putting their independence out of business? Did he see Mega Corporations conspiring to create Trade Pacts like NAFTA and China Trade Did he see the creation of the TPP for corporate protections? I thought capitalism was about competition rather than collusion |

I thought capitalism was about competition rather than collusion The goals of the Fabian Society have absolutely (and unfortunately) been achieved. You're enumerating specific actions that have furthered the Rothschild agenda. Could they have told you, in 1884, when they started holding Fabian Society meetings, exactly what means they would use to achieve their ends? Maybe some of them but probably not all. Capitalism has not existed anywhere in the world for at least 100 years (since the Federal Reserve Act was passed in the U.S.). The destruction of capitalism, which can most succinctly be defined as economic freedom in the absence of government interference, was a central tenet of TPTB's agenda, starting centuries ago. And by the way, Orwell named his book 1984 in honor of the 100 year anniversary of the founding of the Fabian Society. The society had a 100 year plan, by which time they hoped their aims would be achieved. They were a little off in their timing, but not by much. |
