American Third Position |
| Why Obama's "Job Creation" Plan Is Doomed to Failure Posted: 18 Sep 2010 12:42 PM PDT
Globalization is the process through which, in theory, economies have become "integrated" through a global network of transportation, and trade. The theory behind this process has always been "free trade" and economic stimulation. However, this theory has been skewed because of the clear and obvious racial differences in different parts of the globe which has enabled certain regions — mainly the Far East — to dominate manufacturing. For example, it simply costs less to produce an item in China because that nation does not have the stringent environmental controls which Europe or America has, primarily because there is a lessened degree and understanding of social responsibility in that nation. This has led to the situation, as reported by an international environmental agency in 2007, that only 1 percent of China's 560 million city inhabitants breathe air deemed safe by the European Union. Environmental — or rather the lack of — concerns are not the only reason for the imbalance in globalization. The other stark reality is that the massive number of workers available in the Far East means that the cost of labor is dramatically lower. It is impossible for an American worker with a mortgage, a family, kids at college, a car and so on, who is earning $20 an hour, to to be able to compete with a Chinese worker in a factory earning $1 an hour. Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that unfettered market forces will swing in favour of the Chinese worker. This is not just theory, but practical reality. For example, the increasing U.S. trade deficit with China has cost 2.4 million American jobs between 2001 and 2008, according to a study by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI). A total of 3.2 million, or one in six U.S. factory jobs, have disappeared between 2000 and 2007 directly as a result of this imbalance, the EPI said. Most recently, news has emerged that one of America's last GE lightbulb factories in Winchester, VA, is closing down with the loss of 200 jobs. The reason for the closure is that federally mandated energy-saving compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs are "cheaper" to manufacture in China. Not even the much-vaunted "high-tech" IT industry is exempt from the effects of globalization. Apple, for example, does employ a large number of people — but the vast majority are contractors in China. Official figures also show that employment in IT fields such as data processing and software publishing has declined and that the reason is simple: offshoring and outsourcing to countries such as India that offer lower wages but comparable skills. Globalization is rapidly gutting America's manufacturing base and unless this process is halted, the entire country will be turned into an industrial ghost town. The only way to protect and create jobs is to protect and nurture the manufacturing and industrial sector by ensuring that it once again becomes competitive in the domestic and foreign markets. And yes, that means protecting American industry. Before anyone objects in the name of "free trade," they should first consider the alternative, which is the complete economic collapse of our nation. |
| Sliding down the Rope to Third World Status: DEA Advertises for Ebonics Translator Posted: 18 Sep 2010 11:35 AM PDT
The DEA translators would work out of the Atlanta field office, according to a Justice Department request. The request for people fluent in Ebonics — which is a combination of "ebony" and phonics" — is of much greater significance than merely comical value or even an allusion to the high rate of black activity in the drug scene. Rather, the real importance of the request by the DEA is that it is an indication of just how widespread this so-called language has become amongst more than just the black community. Walt Wolfram, professor of English linguistics at North Carolina State University, who has somehow managed to persuade academic institutions to pay him to study "African American English" for the past 40 years, said: "Ebonics had now crossed over geographic, racial and ethnic backgrounds" and was also spoken by Latino and white people." In other words, Professor Wolfram has confirmed that black culture is being propagated across the board as the norm to all communities in America. This pattern can also be seen in dress style (where prison-origin baggy pants and shirts), music (violent gangster-type rap), and other cultural forms which are all presented in the mass media as desirable and fashionable to impressionable youth of all races. It is therefore inevitable that as the barely understandable Ebonics dialect is spread around in rap music in particular, that more and more young people are starting to imitate it. This has allowed the DEA to deny that its advertisements for Ebonics speakers is "racial" in any way. A DEA official was, for example, widely quoted in the media as saying there was nothing "racial" about the hiring effort, identifying the white rapper Eminem as "one of the best speakers of Ebonics there ever was." The destruction of European America is in full swing, on every level. The immigration invasion seeks to displace European Americans from physical possession of the nation which their forefathers created, and the relentless cultural assault on their language and identity continues unabated. The recognition of Ebonics as a language by the DEA is just another sign of the erosion of the European nature of America as it was meant to be. All the signs are there: European Americans will have to stand together if they wish to prevent their nation from inexorably sliding down to Third World status. It is for this reason that the American Third Position has come into existence. Are you going to do your part? |
