5th Column

You would have had to have been around at the beginning of WWII
to appreciate the degree of support US media, Wall Street and even  Lindbergh gave to Hitler’s totalitarian regime. The intellectual elite including communists called for a totalitarian end to the messy rioting, arson and labor disputes, a new normalization where workers and industry could thrive, supported by the state. 

The political rhetoric and legislative conflict with President Rosevelt raged with every bit of the anarchy as it does today November 2, 2020. The legislature largely influenced by Axis subversion passed legislation prohibiting US from delivering military aircraft to England. None could take off from the US, so Rosevelt ordered military aircraft flown to International Falls, MN where they could be pushed across the border to Canada and then flown to England by volunteer pilots.  

The phrase fifth column referred to the many German subversives and Americans brainwashed by Nazi propaganda, engaged in widespread demonstrations, rioting and sabotage. 

Is the subversion of the CCP/PLA as pervasive as Nazi Germany’s propaganda before WW2? Hitter corrupted an entire nation. 

China with a strategy of unrestricted warfare and an ancient history of bribery and deception, infiltrates, and destabilizes America with even greater demoralization than even Russia’s ideological subversion at the height of the Cold War. Under the guise of socialism, a whole generation of US intelligentsia promises normality, Chinese globalization, the glories of 5G, monitoring, database, political correctness and when it’s too late a totalitarian dystopia.

Tariffs versus Capital Surplus

"Trump is Completely Wrong on the Trade Deficit." Let Levin, Sowell, and Friedman Explain. In this interview, Melton Friedman claimed that "deficits are not bad. What's not to like about a capital surplus." In his book Arguing with Zombies, Paul Krugman, a Nobel Prize economist, said, "An end to trade deficits? That's not something trade policy can or should do." The surplus profit earned through cheap foreign labor seeks the most profitable place to go. As the safest and most profitable option, that capital surplus lands in the US stock market. What's not to like about a capital surplus? That fondness intensifies with any threat of it going away, but why would tariffs be such a threat? Scott Bassett, US Secretary of the Treasury, on CNBC's Squawk Box, 4/8/25, said, "If we put up a tariff wall, the ultimate goal would be to bring manufacturing and jobs back to the US. In the meantime, we will be collecting substantial tariffs. As I...
