      Middle East Meltdown and US Foreign Policy

      SouthAmerica: Hillary Clinton went to Israel for one more chapter of "Operation Clueless".

      Since the lunatic Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nethanyahu could not start a war against Iran then he decided to slaughter the Palestinians in Gaza – and I wonder how many billions of US dollars the lunatic Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nethanyahu will be able to blackmail the United States this time around in exchange to stop the Israeli genocide in Gaza.

      In Beijing, China's Foreign Ministry condemned Israel's ongoing assault on Gaza.

      Spokeswoman Hua Chunying was speaking to reporters as the Israeli military pounded the strip for a sixth day.

      China condemns Israeli attack on Gaza – November 19, 2012

      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTs5M9kLCXY

      So far Israel killed 100 Palestinians and more than 1,000 ended up in the hospital with burns and broken bones.

      The Palestinians killed only 3 Israelis.

      China as the up coming superpower can save a lot of trouble in the coming years by staying away from Israel and the Israelis.

      China should not allow the Israelis to create a cancer in China such as the “Zionist - Jewish Lobby” in the United States.

      @ Gelles and the other members of Charlie Rose Show:

      I just posted the following on many websites including Brazzil magazine (which has a 45 % readership audience from China) and also on Facebook:

      Regarding the new Secretary of Labor of new Obama Administration starting in 2013

      http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=6915ae053b7fa2148b98a5b7cb19d034&threadid=253680

      BTW, my screen name at the Elite Trader forum is: SouthAmerica

      November 18, 2012

      SouthAmerica: Here is the best candidate to be the next "Secretary of Labor" of the new Barack Obama administration.

      The new Barack Obama administration should include economist Richard D. Wolf on top of the close circle of economic advisors to the president during his second-term.

      Economist Richard D. Wolf would be an excellent choice for “Secretary of Labor” for the new administration, and he would be influential and outspoken like Secretary of Labor Robert Reich was under President Bill Clinton from 1993 to 1997.

      Why?

      Because the newly elected head of state in China, President Xi Jinping has a doctorate in Marxist theory and ideological education, and he will be around for the next 10 years guiding the main economic competitor of the United States in the coming years

      Economist Richard D. Wolf, well known for his work on Marxian economics, would have a better understanding and grasp of what is really happening in China regarding its economy and the direction that China is heading in the coming years.

      Corrections:

      line 2: "otherwise known as legal tender money, I begin with the National Security Agency (NSA)."

    4. output-based-money  11/18/2012 02:40 AM Report

      Gelles to Ricardo_Amaral (and all visitors):

      I have changed my emphasis -- starting with www.newnsa.us. Instead of leading off with debt-free, tax-free, interest-free green-backs, otherwise none as legal tender money, I begin the National Security Agency (NSA).

      I ask that we add to NSA's scope of data acquisition, decoding and analysis, all the data needed for a successfully managed economy of the type we had in WW II.

      The new NSA I want will use the expertise and resources of the NSA (heretofore focused on intelligence and counter-intelligence) to guarantee that America has the money and the smarts to out-produce all enemies -- foreign and domestic.

      It will move ASAP to full employment and balanced supply and demand that defeats and/or prevents deflation, inflation and stagflation.

      Our government has identified debt as a major enemy. Well, if we use money enough to maximize public interest spending and the highest minimum wage and minimum standard of living in this country and all others, we will be positioned to set an example for 21st century economic goals and systems.

      Previously I suggested a separate ESA (Economic Security Agency) to do the cost accounting and logistics planning for all this -- while being mentored by the NSA.

      Now I suggest we begin with the NSA,itself, taking on this responsibility.

      Later, a vastly larger NSA can always be split in two to accomplish both our military defense and economic growth objectives.

      Ricardo -- you disappoint when you jump on a China thread -- unrelated to Gaza -- and offer nonsense to your friends. Are you a booster of world peace and Brazilian excellence (with Chinese partners)? Or are you just a trouble maker?

      I support Chinese communist party. They are strong and confident. Among 205 members, 10% of them have surname "Wang". They are tiger, they are minority. Once they solve the puzzle or catch the big fish, they are able to conquer the world. Forward, forward, charge, and forward.

      Another weird advice for Taiwanese is that (I know you hate Nazi) you continue seducing the world and wiping out minority in Chinese communist party with issue of anti-corruption and push them.

      Please say "NO" to genetically modified foods. It traps human body into low dimensional energy consumption.

      In an effort to project an image of power to the rest of the world Israel is showing that they still are capable of killing children in Gaza

      It is easier for the Israeli army to kill children in Gaza than fight against Hezbollah and get their ass kicked by real men.

      China will be larger than the US -- but not more influential for a very long time. I would like our leaders to strive to remain the most influential nation on earth for the foreseeable future. Why not. We should unite with Canada, Mexico and all nations north of South America.

      We should build a new canal, immense in size, between North and South America.

      We should have a population of 1 billion people on this continent-- in one nation -- the USA.

      This very large nation should have one official language and should translate into it great literature and useful scientific knowledge from any and all other languages.

      The new USA should partner with Europe, Russia, India and China and other nations to create heaven on earth.

      We should never decline. Declining is for lesser nations that practice wage slavery and mass ignorance.

      Who should be our president -- someone with a vision of zero taxes and great wealth for our poorest citizen. After all, life is short and we are what we do.

      No seems to know very much about Xi, except for the fact that he emerges with considerable power. But I wonder if these gentlemen would rather have the emperor back? I think a comparison with Russia is useful as I believe I've said here before. There's a reason for Putin's continuing popularity, as, in fact, there is for Obama's, and the socialist govts in France and Spain. I suspect the new govt in China was chosen to be more sympathetic to the public plight and to soothe increasing foreign conflict. I wouldn't be surprised to find the leadership think too much attention has been given to arms and urban development, much as we do here.
