F Dominicus Blog : war again?

Am I thinking about politics these days

One songtext in my background: "You'r as cold as ice, you're willing to sacrify" (well then comes "our" love). There's one extre sentence I'm currently hoping for. "Some day you'l pay the price". This is my deepest wish, that the Deledefs and Bureacrats, and "servant" of the states do pay the price.

Well I know it's more likely that the next war will just kill besides a lot of "soldiers" some of the bureacrats and politicians too. But the rabble-rousers wil surivive. It's obviously the balance of nature that some take pleasure to suppress and repress. We need a robust constition to survive those malice doers. Anyway we still have a chance that we get more liberty. It will take ages, decades, centuries and even longer. We'll see and ever will see up and downs of personal freedom. There will be fascists times that we currently are entering, and there will be freedom after their break-downs. And the spiral will start turning again.

What we do have currently are such fine Blogs as here on Mises or other sources of informatoin about economic and personal freedom. If you are unsure start lookign around here. visit the pages dedicated to von Mises, Hayek, Rohtbard, Bastiat and from there look after the readins lists and start judging yourself. You always can and should ask whose right and whose wrong. Does war on whatever really is war against that whatever or whom else does it serve?

Take the action after 9/11 and ask yourself. Is the world more peaceful place? Or was the opposite reached. Now you ask how long have the US fought their wars. What's wih this war on terrorism, has it ended or is it just starting?

See the debt mountains of the states and ask yourself. Whom do they serve? Is the net wealth really that much higher? See the promises of the presidents, how many do they really have fullfilled?

If you see the did not reach their goals then name is such and even better write it down. This blog was just started because I wanted to express the things I found to be right and wrong. And currently I just can see a lot of wrong-doings. I came to the Austrians during the last 4-5 years. I've studies also economics and political economics, and I can tell you not once during my time at the university von Mises, Hayek etc were even mentioned. That says a lot about german universities. But don't be surprised, they are paid nearly 100 % of states. That tells you a lot about the educational system. Anyway it's not forbidden of impossible to break out this main-stream thinking. Just do it.

Time for a book?

Dear readers it seems I have to suggest some literature for you.

Check out the following books: "Bailout nation", "Credit Card Nation" and "Human Action".

In 1998 there was a nation-wide negative saving rate at work. And you know that was also the time of the Internet bubble. Now in this extra 13 years nothing has changed. The debt has again more than doubled and it's still raising. You can not have wealth without saving. You can not get rich on Credit. So fact is with debts everywhere the end can not be avoided. Kredit expansion is according to von MIses, incurable either one stop is or the currency will break. And if a currency breaks, poverty is the new "middle" class... Now with forgetting to save things the middle class is starting to go down. I propose you check the diverse countries in the US and you will see where people save there will be much less suffering.

The US has overstretched their limits and in fact it's the biggest burner of money with it's military machine. Military machine is just good for one thing destruction. And So the military will take it's part in distruction of the US. And Obama has nothing done to prevent this. I remind you of my critical entries here about Obama and in fact it's getting even worse. See e.g. http://mises.org/Community/blogs/fdominicus/archive/2011/11/20/now-keep-your-breath.aspx. Really the US is gone, it's just a death corpse walking. But sooner or later it will crush and this will be the start of another civil war. Now around 150 years after the last , we come back to it. It's devastating. I propose to start thinking about leaving the US. You may escape the war. But maybe not. The debt race still is open all over the world. .....

"Interesting" move

Well I guess you have heard about Greece before. If you are wise ;-) and reading this blog and/or the older one you know that I've made my own calculations on the sparse information one could gather. In fact the financial situation of Greece is very diffuse, but now that you know Greece still must have some Millions left: http://www.defencegreece.com/index.php/2011/10/the-u-s-approved-to-grant-400-m1a1-abrams-to-greece/

If we assume one tank is around 1 Mio €. Well the Greece will not have to pay that they maybe even will get them for "free". Well if you've read the Books of Heinlein you know "There ain't such thing as a free lunch". And so the Greece will "just" have to bear "maintenance costs", "fuel cost (this tanks are not that "thirsty" "just" 10l /km) and it's fuel the Greece Army has not used up till know (according to http://www.griechenland-blog.gr/2011/usa-bieten-griechenland-400-kampfpanzer-m1a1-abrams-an/5788/) And what did some Trojan says. I do not believe the Danaer even if the give us gifts.

So in the end it will cost them dearly. One could imaging that because of Putins "move" for a panrussion Federation the Amercians would like to have well equipped "buffers" down there. Anyway as you might know also Greece and Turkey are not "that big" friends. And imagine what'll happen if Greece will break down (you do not believe that could happen) Well think of Argentina, it broke down and suddenly the middle classes where "gone". So don't say it can't happen. It had happened it happens (currently all European deledefs but one or so) are doing anything to make us European more poverish.

And the Americans among you (at least I hope a few are there) , know what it means to live in over-debted countries. And well you middle class is also diminishing. Because neither in the US nor in the EUR zone there is something like market. The bureaucrats and deledefs make the rules and you have to obey at a point of a gun. And well because it is better that the money is in the hand of government (because of it's great justice) they have to take it away from you..

So the moves should make you think. Why would one support other governments with more and more deadly weapons. Look at Syria, look at Lybia and you may have you answer. It could mean martial law! And if the military is at the top of government, you know war is nearly inevitable. You also know that human rights do not count much in the US any more. There still is Guantanamo there still is Abu Ghreic, there still is torture and well there is "killing" in the name of "freedom". What freedom is "dictatorship". So draw your own conclusion. I'm worried and it's getting worse day-by-day.
