"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."
- Carroll Quigley, CFR member, mentor to Bill Clinton, from 'Tragedy And Hope'

The reason, of course, that the policy failed was Khrushchev’s ignorance of the immutable fact – the self-evident truth – that corn can only be grown under certain conditions, and Russia’s climate did not provide them.
A singular vision can get it right or wrong. As shown above. A non unified vision (libertarian property rights) guarantees some will get it right and some will get it wrong. Unfortunately, in the case of the environment, its destruction is caused by fragmentation, like a checkerboard. |

Yeah, I can. Read some of my 500+ posts. And I'll post more stuff, but it will take time. Because there's lots of stuff. What if I do support it? Are you saying that your beliefs are dependent on there being no support? |

It's a vague statement standing alone. |

It's not vague at all. Have you read any of my posts? It's the primary topic I discuss around here. Before I spend yet more time personally explaining something that will likely fall on deaf ears, please tell me what you think I might mean by the following statement: Unfortunately, in the case of the environment, its destruction is caused by fragmentation.
I'd still like to hear your take on this. |
