A Dangerous World, Part 1

The United States is strategically weak in an increasingly dangerous world.

The United States is strategically weak in an increasingly dangerous world. Now much of the Arab world is in turmoil with protestors demonstrating against the U.S. and attacking its embassies. One can expect that there will be a continuing period of rising anti-U.S. animosities not only in the Arab world but also in many other parts of the world. The United States, with its nation-weakening national and foreign policies, has been weakening itself and creating its own enemies for years and world wide.  

Now a reality I have been stating for years must be faced, that is; For as long as the U.S. has its current nation-weakening monetary and banking system the U.S. cannot progress and win strategically, in peace or in war, even if it has the most powerful military forces in the world.

For the constructive survival and progress of the U.S., and for improving many lives, there should be a quick and vigorous strengthening of the nation. The nation’s exploitive and nation-weakening monetary and banking system should be constructively modified and reformed and all national strengths—political, economic, geopolitical, diplomatic, social, and military—should be increased and coordinated in order to increase the nation’s relative strategic power. This is imperative because the U.S. will either strengthen itself, under its own pro-U.S. leaders, or it will erode into further weakness with ultimate leaders—revolutionary, radical, foreign, or international--who can be expected to exploit the people of the United States.

Those statements may sound extreme. However, I have been making accurate and significant forecasts for years. For example, in 1936, I forecast that the U.S. would be in a major world war within five years and, in November, 1941, I published two forecasts that the U.S. would soon be at war with Japan, and both forecasts were correct. In 1946, I publicly forecast a crisis in “1949 or 1950” and the war with North Korea began in 1950.

In 1974, I completed a book entitled “The Monetarists and The Current Crisis,” in which I forecast that the U.S. would lose strategically in relation to its war in Vietnam. I did not find a publisher for that book and the U.S. lost both tactically and strategically. In 1996, I completed a book entitled “The Monetarists and The Continuing Crisis” in which I forecast many current problems. Again, I did not find a publisher. My recent book, “The Monetarists and The Evolving Crisis,” is self-published.  

The Eurozone nations of Western Europe are also having problems. However, at least for the present the U.S. should resolve its own problems by itself, under its own elected leaders, and should reduce all foreign and international entanglements. My book provides guidelines for building and strengthening the relative strategic power of the United States. In a dangerous world the nation must be strong. Also see “A Dangerous World, Part II,” and “TEN ACTIONS FOR BUILDING THE UNITED STATES” on my website.)

Dr. James, I thank you for this insightful look at this nation's present course.

There is only one way out of our present monetarist crisis: MORE OF THE SAME, ONLY HARDER AND FASTER.
Benanke has certainly come to the same conclusion, adopting QE+infinity as the next logical step in the debilitating evolution of modern money theory. $40 billion a month open-ended purchases of treasuries are insufficient to meet the big gap in current entitlement spending. Bernanke will quietly double that amount to $80 billion, and then gradually increase that amount as inflation reaches main street and COLA forces a negative feedback loop into action. The only way to buffer the people from this disaster would be for the Fed to release control of interest rates and allow them to float. Which they would do, probably to eight or nine percent, which is what private commercial banks NEED in order to stay in business! The servicing of the national debt would become frighteningly expensive, but as the Federal Reserve originated this fraud by artificially lowering interest rates, it is in their power to buy even more treasuries to cover the cost of the interest rises, thus duping the entire system in the short-term, while permitting the private sector to de-leverage their debts, accumulate some savings, and strengthen commercial banks in the face of an ever-weakening dollar and unstable central bank. Then, the Federal reserve can perish, and take its worthless Federal Reserve Notes with them, leaving perhaps strong, commodity-backed National Bank notes for us.

Fascinating post, Dr. James. I find your view as a WWII veteran and an educator particularly interesting. Your profile is amazing and I'm wondering why you have not yet had the support of a publishing firm. I look forward to reading your self-published book.

Dear Mr. Dumas: I thank you for your very encouraging reply. I wish there were about 2,000 more commendatory statements similar to yours. Much must be done to strengthen and improve our nation. As affairs continue to evolve, I will be posting new comments on my blog as well as on my website www.buildusanow.com. Again, many thanks for your comment. Bill James

Call Channel 8. That's what a mom had to do here in Guilford last spring to get action after herRead More kindergartener was dropped off alone at the entrance to their condo complex. She walked over 1/2 mile along side a lake and woods to her condo. As a school bus driver and a mother I am shocked that these instances have not been dealt with swiftly! Never, ever on my watch would this happen!

Update- I get a call the other day from the school that my son was pushed while waiting for the busRead More and fell. I was told the teacher watching was a substitute and put him on the bus. When asked if he was okay I basically was told that they had no idea! (That is another story) Bottom line is I had a nice call with the principal and feel that she has done all she could. Based on her advice I contacted the Superintendent to see if I could schedule a call with him. Tuesday at 10:00 AM Obviously I see were this situation ranks!

I had problems last year with out driver taking off before my son sat down. I reported this to theRead More school principal as well as DATCO. Datco could careless what the drivers do. The principal called them as well and it stopped. I now watch every day from a different window. The driver knows I will report him again if he does this again. We have had a few sub drivers do the same. Datco doesnt care what the drivers do no use in having them investigate anything. They wont listen. The thing is it has to be documented if i see anything on any bus around town you have to call it in especially when you see children not in seats jumping around ect. They really need to put cameras on the buses some kids dont listen to the drivers either its a 2 way street but the actions of dropping a kid off when its not their stop is ridicules!
